Dear Lingshi

"Manager Lu, you're finally back!" One of them came forward and spoke to Lu Yunsheng.

After seeing these people, Lu Yunsheng had already guessed what they were here for.

Lu Yunsheng did not respond, but walked around the crowd with Xuan'er in his arms and sat down on the armchair carefree.

"Tell me, what brings you to my Duobao Pavilion so late at night?" Lu Yunsheng asked knowingly.

These people looked at each other awkwardly, and finally one of them stepped forward and said, "Manager Lu, it's like this, we were a little inconsiderate last night, can we... can we redeem the shop?

"Yes! Manager Lu, please let us redeem the shop. We really have no other choice." Others also echoed.

Lu Yunsheng was not angry when he heard this, because he already knew the purpose of these people. Lu Yunsheng smiled and asked, "Oh? How many spirit stones do you plan to use to redeem it?"

These people thought that Lu Yunsheng would refuse outright. Upon hearing this, they hurried forward and said, "Shopkeeper Lu! We will not let you suffer a loss. We have discussed it and are willing to add another 10% to last night's price. How do you think?"

Lu Yunsheng had a playful smile on his face, and then he said, "You are all sensible people. If Tieshan City had been razed to the ground by monsters today, would you still raise the price to take back your shop?"

This question stumped everyone. For a moment, they didn't know how to answer.

The store fell silent for a moment. After a cup of tea, someone suddenly stepped forward and said, "Manager Lu, we have no other choice but to do this. Please show some mercy and give us a way out."

Lu Yunsheng's expression remained unchanged after hearing this. After thinking for a moment, he said to everyone, "If you make the wrong choice, you must bear the consequences. I can give you a way out. Come to my Duobao Pavilion tomorrow morning. Whether you are willing to do so will depend on you."

Although these people didn't know what Lu Yunsheng meant by the way out, when they saw Lu Yunsheng was relieved, a glimmer of hope rose in their hearts, so they had to disperse.

Bai Yushu and Uncle Hu, standing at the door of Duobao Pavilion, roughly understood the purpose of these people. Seeing these people leave, Bai Yushu asked Lu Yunsheng, "Are you going to return the shop to them?"

"How can we possibly return it to them? When we recruit people tomorrow, if they want to join Duobao Pavilion, we will hire them at Fang You's salary. This will also be considered as giving them a way out."

"What if they don't join us and insist on making a big fuss?" Bai Yushu asked.

Hearing this, Lu Yunsheng patted his Qiankun bag and said with a smile: "What's the use? The land deeds are all here with me. Do they dare to rob them?"

"What if they really dare to rob? These people are desperate, but they dare to do anything." Bai Yushu asked worriedly.

"Then I'll rely on my wife to protect me." Lu Yunsheng said with a smirk.

"Ouch! Don't pinch me, I was wrong!" Lu Yunsheng cried out in pain.

"Xuan'er, come on, accompany your sister upstairs to rest." Bai Yushu let go of her hand and said to Xuan'er.

"Wait a minute, I have something else I want to discuss with you." Lu Yunsheng stopped Bai Yusu and Uncle Hu.

The two looked at him in confusion.

Lu Yunsheng said directly: "It's like this. At the celebration banquet today, I saw those big families and big workshops were so impressive, so I plan to recruit some talisman makers and alchemists when we recruit people tomorrow. We should also start to set up our own workshop. Of course, we should also start to set up a monster hunting team. Now we have thirteen stores, and we can completely produce and sell by ourselves, forming a one-stop industry."

After hearing this, Bai Yushu and Uncle Hu showed joy on their faces and nodded in agreement.

“But these talisman makers and alchemists are very popular and have already been recruited by major workshops.” Bai Yushuo pointed out the difficulty.

"We recruit as many as we can, and we can also train them ourselves. This is a long-term thing, and it will develop slowly in the future." Lu Yunsheng said.

"Okay! I will recruit more people tomorrow, but what kind of salary is Manager Lu willing to offer these people?" Bai Yushu asked.

Lu Yunsheng had already considered this, and said directly to Bai Yushu: "For the monster hunting team, each member will be equipped with two magic weapons, one for attack and one for defense, according to their strength. At the same time, they will be provided with healing pills, and commissions will be paid according to the number of harvests. At the same time, the monster hunting team will be equipped with a foundation-building cultivator to prevent emergencies, which can also protect the safety of the monster hunting team members. As for the alchemists and talisman makers needed to set up the workshop, they will be recruited at a price 20% higher than the market price. If there are people who are willing to learn these secret methods, you can also recruit a group of apprentices. You can consider the specific details yourself."

"Are our salaries too high? There are other stores that are currently lacking shopkeepers. What kind of salary should we give to these shopkeepers we recruit?" Bai Yushu asked again.

"The salary is not high, but it is too low offered by other workshops. As for the shopkeeper, there is no need to recruit him for the time being. Let's see how the situation is tomorrow." Lu Yunsheng replied.

"Okay, that's no problem. Xuan'er and I will go upstairs first." After Bai Yushu finished speaking, he pulled Xuan'er and was about to go upstairs.

Seeing this, Lu Yunsheng hurriedly said, "There is one more thing, which is very important. When I was communicating with those seniors in the foundation-building stage at the banquet today, I learned a very important piece of news. This news is related to whether our Duobao Pavilion can soar into the sky in the future."

"Oh? What's the news?" Uncle Hu asked. Bai Yushu also became interested when he heard it.

Lu Yunsheng said, "It's like this. Today, a senior said that the Moxi Sect has many industries in our Tieshan City, and these industries are all managed by their disciples."

Hearing this, Bai Yushu said directly: "Of course the Moxi Sect's business is managed by their own disciples. Can you, an outsider, manage it?"

Lu Yunsheng smiled slightly and continued, "The opportunity for our Duobao Pavilion to soar to the sky lies in it. As far as I know, Moxi Sect has several restaurants, inns, dozens of shops, and even a low-grade spiritual vein in Tieshan City. The disciples of their own sect come to Tieshan City to manage the industry in the form of completing the sect's tasks. Moreover, after accepting the tasks, these ordinary disciples can only work as waiters in the store or work as coolies to dig spiritual stones in the spiritual veins. These disciples only need to stay in Tieshan City for half a month or dig spiritual stones for half a month every month to get a reward of 30 low-grade spiritual stones. If we can recruit a group of low-level Qi training monks to completely replace the work of these disciples, then won't we be rich?"
