General, the lady escaped again

Chapter 682 24 Filial Husband (2)

"It seems that the prospects are good now, because we can see the embroiderers embroidering their own patterns with their own hands. Many customers find it quite novel. Moreover, the embroidery patterns are also unique. Other clothing stores all have the same patterns, so customized patterns are very popular." Long Shiyu said.

"The news has spread like wildfire in the village. Many people have brought their daughters to us, saying they want to join," said Long Shiyu. "Before, no matter how we promoted it, they were unwilling. Now they are begging us to join. They say their requirements are not high, just 200 wen a month."

Because Jinxiu Pavilion was so popular, several villages who knew they were recruiting came over, hoping to send their daughters in.

"What do you think?" asked Ji Xiaomu.

"Jinxiu Pavilion is indeed short of people now. We are thinking of hiring ten more people." Long Shiyu said, "What do you think, sister-in-law?"

"I think it's possible. It will take them some time to learn embroidery after they join and then be able to embroider independently. This period of time is enough for them to settle down." Ji Xiaomu said with a smile as she looked at the girls who were embroidering.

"But their parents..." Long Shiyu frowned and sighed.

"Are you here to cause trouble again?" asked Mother Ji.

Long Shiyu nodded. "After Jinxiu Pavilion's business became popular, their parents came to us and asked for a pay raise."

"How are they?" Ji Xiaowu nodded. She was indeed planning to increase their wages, but at least how much it would increase would not be decided by their parents.

"They asked for an increase to two taels!" Long Shiyu said expressionlessly.

"What if she refuses?" Mother Ji raised her eyebrows.

"If they refuse, they will take their daughter away and seek refuge with someone else." Long Shiyu sneered.

"What do they mean?" Ji Xiaomu looked in the direction of the girls.

"They said that they should pay us according to what you said in the beginning. They disagreed with their families and refused to listen to them, so they wanted to cause trouble again." Long Shiyu said, "These people saw that our business was good, and they wanted to force us to raise their wages, otherwise they would come to the store to cause trouble."

"Privately raise their wages to two taels, and publicly, raise them to 500 wen!" Aunt Ji chuckled.

Long Shiyu was stunned. "It was raised to two taels privately?"

"Well, ask them what they want to do with the money. Whether they want to keep it for themselves or give it to their family, it's up to them, but they must not make it public." Ji Xiaomu said, "If they have no place to save it, they can deposit it with us first and come back to take it when they need it."

"Sister-in-law, this method is really amazing!" Long Shiyu's eyes lit up. This method effectively solved their problems and left them a way out.

It really kills two birds with one stone.

"But you don't need to be lenient with them. If they really want to make a scene, fire them after they're done." Ji Xiaomu said to Long Shiyu, who looked at Ji Xiaomu. "Fire?"

Of course, she wouldn't believe that her sister-in-law would really fire her if she said so. Her sister-in-law must have a back-up plan.

"Yes, fire them on the spot and let them find another store to work! Let them do whatever they want." Ji Xiaomu said, "Tell the girls in advance that they can let their families make trouble and just cooperate. Don't make things difficult for them."

"And then?" Long Shiyu waited for the next words.

There must be a back-up plan, right?

"Then when they have trouble getting along outside and their families want them to come back, you can sign a contract with their families for a salary of 200 wen." said Ji Xiaowu.
