Chapter 858: Solve Your Own Problems!
Shu Yu raised an eyebrow. "Is that so? Sorry for not notifying you in advance when I came back. Did I startle you?"
The shopkeeper stammered, "..."
He had no way to respond to her words.
But Shu Yu didn't need him to respond. She simply pointed to Da Niu behind her and said, "But I didn't expect you to give me a shock as well. This is the shopkeeper of our ready-to-wear shop. I believe you know him. He came to pick up the goods today, but it hasn't been going smoothly."
The shopkeeper knew that Da Niu was here to settle accounts and was considering Shu Yu's current situation.
There had been rumors recently that she had committed a crime and was exiled to the southwest. At first, he didn't believe it. If she had truly been exiled, why would the county magistrate still be concerned about the ready-to-wear shop?
But the rumors seemed credible, and when people asked the Lu family, they vehemently denied it. However, the shopkeeper was shrewd and had been present at the time. He clearly saw their guilty expressions.
He believed that Shu Yu had indeed been exiled.
It was truly unexpected. Lu Shu Yu had been exiled, yet she still had the protection of County Magistrate Xiang.
The shopkeeper couldn't help but speculate on the relationship between Shu Yu and Xiang Wei Nan. They were of suitable age, and it was probably one of those illicit relationships, right?
The shopkeeper began to look down on Shu Yu. Although he didn't dare to do anything that would harm the ready-to-wear shop, he thought that for minor matters like troubling Da Niu, County Magistrate Xiang probably wouldn't bother getting involved.
However, he never expected that Lu Shu Yu would actually come back.
The shopkeeper felt that this was most likely due to County Magistrate Xiang's connections, bringing her back from the southwest.
But the shopkeeper had lost the respect he once had for her. While he could still maintain a polite smile when he first saw her, his expression fell after hearing her questioning.
"Shopkeeper Lu, you should understand. Our shop is the largest cloth market in Jiangyuan County, and we have many customers who come here to pick up and deliver goods. Occasionally, lacking a cart for transportation is normal, right? We should all understand each other. That's how we can maintain a long-lasting business relationship, isn't it?"
Shu Yu chuckled. "You're mistaken. If you want a long-lasting business relationship, you need to follow the terms clearly stated in the contract. Even close brothers settle their accounts clearly, so we naturally need to sort things out. When we signed the contract, one of the clauses stated that you are responsible for delivering the goods to our doorstep."
The shopkeeper smiled, "That's true, but we really don't have any carts available at the moment."
That excuse might work on Da Niu, but Shu Yu couldn't help but scoff, "That's your problem. If you don't have a cart, you should either rent one or buy one yourself. It's your responsibility to solve the problem. Why should you push it onto the customer? Is that how you do business? When you encounter difficulties, you let the customer handle it themselves? Are you all useless?"
The shopkeeper expression turned ugly, but fortunately, there weren't many people in the shop at the moment. Otherwise, if they heard this, it would damage the reputation of their shop.
He took a deep breath. "Shopkeeper Lu is right. I have learned my lesson. I will arrange for someone to rent a cart and personally deliver the goods to your shop."
As he spoke, he was about to call one of the assistants nearby. "Hurry up and make the arrangements."
However, Shu Yu raised her hand. "It's too late for that."
The shopkeeper furrowed his brow. "What do you mean?"
Shu Yu smiled amicably. "Originally, this bolt of fabric was urgently needed. We have a customer who urgently needs a piece of clothing. They offered a high price and requested that we deliver it by the beginning of the You hour today. Our shop's shopkeeper should have come over in the afternoon, right?"
