I just want to live a good life

Chapter 141 The Big Boss

But no matter how tempted you are, you still have to figure out the money.

"The ten thousand taels just now were the reward for making noodles for you, and it cannot be counted as the salary for the head of the family."

Mu Yunting smiled and took a mouthful of noodles, then smacked his lips and said, "This bowl of noodles is the most expensive in the world. One mouthful is worth several hundred taels of silver."

Su Nuan had eaten half of her noodles when she took out the silver bills and counted them again, confirming that it was exactly ten thousand taels. Only then did she finish the rest of her noodles in peace.

After finishing the noodles, Mu Yunting washed himself.

When Su Nuan came back after cleaning up the dishes, she saw Mu Yunting lying on the bed and asleep.

Even for the sake of the ten thousand taels of silver, she couldn't drive him away, but she couldn't sleep in the same bed with Mu Yunting now.

So she took a quilt, spread it on the couch, and prepared to spend the night.

But maybe it was because she ate too much at night, or because ten thousand taels made her too excited, Su Nuan tossed and turned on the couch and couldn't fall asleep. Finally, she just got up and went to the yard to look at the stars.

Then, as she watched, inspiration came to her.

Inspiration is something that comes and goes quickly, so once inspiration comes, you must grab it at the first opportunity.

Su Nuan hurried back to the room, lit the lamp, ground ink, and put her inspiration on paper.

This is a set of star-themed headdresses, and she plans to use small pieces of sapphires to replace the star parts.

The main feature is playfulness and agility, so Su Nuan named it Starry Sky.

It will be the first flagship product after UBS changes its owner.

Su Nuan felt that she could launch a series. This star series would not only include headwear, but also bracelets, bangles, and rings.

She has even decided to release a pair of couple's rings at the same time, and this series will surely be popular in the imperial city.

Su Nuan imagined the scene of supply exceeding demand, and imagined silver bills falling on her like snowflakes, and she laughed out loud unconsciously.

It wasn't until she noticed the person on the bed turned over that she covered her mouth.

The next morning, Su Nuan took Bi Tao to UBS Building.

Unexpectedly, Mu Yunyi arrived earlier than her and was waiting there long ago.

He just didn't seem very happy.

"What's wrong? You're going to be the new owner of the UBS Building soon, why aren't you happy?"

"What's there to be happy about? I've been busy doing so many things, but in the end I can only get 20% of the share."

“Where did the other 30% go?”

"The Empress Dowager paid 3,000 taels, and she will take 10% of it. The Crown Prince paid 12,000 taels, and he will take 20% of it."

These people really take advantage of any opportunity!

Su Nuan sighed secretly, and at the same time secretly felt lucky that she didn't have to give shares to others.

"You're not at a loss, you didn't spend a penny, and you still get 20%."

"Yes, I still have to work hard to earn money to pay back the prince six thousand taels of silver."

"Just think of it as you got something for nothing."

"By the way, sister-in-law, how did you get enough money? I heard that your dowry was donated by the prince. How can you still come up with so much money? Did that old guy Ding Fu lend it to you?"

"I went back to the General's Mansion and borrowed some."

"Do they also have to share the money they lend you?"

"That's not necessary. I just need to pay them back."

"Sister-in-law, your family is so kind to you."

Hehe, Su Nuan laughed dryly and suddenly felt that Mu Yunting was really nice to her.

The process of purchasing the UBS building went unexpectedly smoothly.

After signing the transfer contract, Su Nuan became the boss of the UBS Building.

She called the shopkeeper over to talk to her alone.

The shopkeeper's surname was Chen. He recognized Su Nuan when she walked in, but today she came with her new boss, so Chen didn't dare to mention what happened before.

Now that Su Nuan has become his boss, Manager Chen is almost scared to death.

"My Lady Concubine, please forgive me. I was only doing things for my master at that time. I had no choice. I have parents and children to support. I really don't dare to give up this job. My Lady Concubine is magnanimous. Please keep me here, even if I can only do odd jobs."

Su Nuan is not a person who holds grudges. Besides, she was the one who deliberately came to cause trouble. Manager Chen has never done anything wrong to her.

The most important thing is that this man has been the shopkeeper of UBS for many years, and his understanding of UBS and even this industry is a hundred times deeper than Su Nuan's.

Su Nuan couldn't let such a talent go, but she had to make sure that this person could be used by her.

"I can keep you, but you have to prove that you are valuable to me."

"Don't worry, sir. I will prove it to you right away."

After saying that, Shopkeeper Chen brought over a stack of account books, which were the original account books recording UBS Building’s purchases.

Shopkeeper Chen took out the most recent book and spread out the prices of various types of jade for Su Nuan to see.

"Boss, look, I'm the only one in this imperial city who can get jade raw materials at this price. I can ensure that our UBS building has the lowest cost and the highest profit."

Su Nuan picked up the account book and looked at it carefully. She also had her own jewelry store and had read the account books that Ying Shu had made for her many times. She knew the prices of raw jade.

The purchase price recorded in the account book of UBS was much lower than that of her own silver shop.

“The purchase price is indeed low, but can the quality of the raw materials be guaranteed?”

"Wait a moment, sir. There are some leftover scraps in the store. I'll show them to you."

After Manager Chen finished speaking, he took out some jade materials.

Su Nuan now has some experience and has a certain ability to identify jade materials. These scraps are indeed top quality.

"Okay. Merchants seek profit. If you can save me money, you are valuable to me. But I don't just look at profit when hiring people. I also want absolute loyalty. As long as you are dedicated to making money for me, I have no reason not to hire you."

"Master, rest assured. From now on, I will do my best to serve you."

"Loyalty is not just talk. I will see how you perform."

As she spoke, Su Nuan asked Bitao to bring her design drawings and hand them to Manager Chen.

"I paid a lot of money to have these drawings drawn by someone. Find someone to make them and see how many days it takes."

Shopkeeper Chen took the drawings and looked at them carefully one by one. The more he looked, the more surprised he was. "Boss, can you invite the person who drew the drawings to our store? These drawings are so good. The jewelry made according to the drawings will definitely sell for a high price."

Su Nuan was secretly pleased by this flattery. "I can't hire this person yet, but I will bring her paintings often in the future. The workmanship and materials of the jewelry sets in your hands must be the best, and there can't be any sloppiness."

"Don't worry, boss. I will personally supervise the craftsmen making these sets of jewelry."

"it is good."

After explaining the business matters here, Su Nuan took a good look around the entire UBS building.

"Miss, I never thought that this UBS building will be yours from now on. Buying the UBS building is such a big deal, right? Don't you think we should celebrate it properly?"

Bitao said excitedly.

Mu Yunyi, who was waiting to drink tea, heard this and took over the conversation: "Yes, sister-in-law, we should really celebrate. It's almost time for lunch, how about we go to Zuixianju later?"
