331 History
Along the way, Ning Yue ate and drank without delaying serious business. She had her eyes on a few shops, and their locations were all very good.
Liu Lian and Ping followed beside her. Her amazing business acumen and taste made the two of them praise her very much.
“Look at the shop I chose. It’s in a good location, right?” Ning Yue smiled at the map in her hand.
“Why aren’t they open at night?” Liu Lian looked at the mark on the map in Ning Yue’s hand in confusion. Which shop didn’t open when they could?
Especially in brothels, be it selling their bodies or performing, they usually rested during the day and worked at night.
However, Ning Yue said that she wanted to rest at night and even set a nine to five time. What did she mean by nine to five?
She even gave him lunch break at noon.
Everyone fought for such a good job.
However, her requirements were very high. One had to be literate and educated. It was best if she was female.
In this era, how many women knew how to study? Only rich families would send their daughters to study.
“A reasonable arrangement of working hours will increase our efficiency,” Ning Yue said.
She didn’t care if Ping and Liu Lian understood her.
Li Lian pursed his lips in silence. What Ning Yue said was very novel.
After a while, Ning Yue found a place to sit down and finished writing the contract.
Li Lian looked at the contract in shock. This was the first time he had seen such a contract.
A slave contract would directly sell a person. Whatever the employer wanted to do, the person who was sold had to do it unconditionally. That was a slave contract.
However, the contents of Ning Yue’s indenture were very novel. She wrote clearly what time he would go to work in the morning, when he would rest at noon, when he would go to work in the afternoon, and when he would get off work. He also wrote how much money she would give him every month and how much he would earn every year.
The salary and benefits she gave were good. They could attract many people to apply for the job.
He was so curious. What was in this woman’s head? She had so many ideas.
“As long as it doesn’t affect the normal operation of the shop, it’s fine to let them rest appropriately and give them a break,” Ning Yue said.
Li Lian was completely stunned by her words. She was really different.
Beside her, Ping was also very surprised. This was the first time she had seen such a boss in her long life.
“What’s your next plan?” Liu Lian asked.
Ning Yue shook her head. “Not much for the time being. Alright, the contract has been signed. You can go back first.”
After signing the contract, he left. Ping and Ning Yue were left behind.
When he returned to his residence, he called a guard over and asked, “How’s the situation in the capital recently?”
“No special movements. I heard that the Emperor of Russia is abdicating,” the guard reported to Liu Lian.
Li Lian’s expression turned cold. “He’s going to abdicate? You only know about such a big thing now?”
He could guess that he wanted to give the throne to Ning Yue. Ning Yue was so smart. She would definitely be qualified to be the empress.
But why did they only know now?
It had been a long time since Yuan Hui acknowledged Ning Yue. He must have decided on this long ago.
After all, the emperor of Russia did not have children. Moreover, women had a high status in Russia. They could become officials in the imperial court or even emperors. In the history of Russia, there had been several empresses.
“We received news recently that he had found his niece, but we didn’t know that his niece was such a powerful person. We didn’t think in that direction,” the guard said.
After all, it was impossible for a woman to become emperor in the Great Yun Nation, so they did not investigate in that direction.
“Trash!” Li Lian was a little angry. “Don’t make excuses for your failure. A mistake is a mistake! Go and receive your punishment!”
“Yes!” The guard lowered his head, cold sweat rolling down his forehead. This was the first time he had seen his master so angry.
After receiving his punishment, Liu Lian changed his clothes, put on a mask, and secretly went somewhere.
He secretly stood on the roof of Ning Yue’s room. He was a gentleman and did not peel the tiles, but he was eavesdropping.
Ning Yue was busy when she seemed to hear a very faint sound of tiles. She was shocked and hurriedly called out from outside the door, “Call Baili in.”
