Chapter 690: Let Su Qing Come
Editor: Henyee Translations
Thinking of her, Gu Yundong immediately asked Tong Shuitao to turn her horse around.
Gu Yundong did not know many people, but there were a few who left a good impression on her.
One of them was Su Changshun’s sister, Su Qing.
The first time they met, she was actually more satisfied with Su Qing’s personality than she was with Su Changshun. It was just that the shop did not recruit female workers. Otherwise, it would be easier for Su Qing to attract customers with her straightforward personality.
Moreover, Su Qing was not bad-looking either. She had a very likable appearance.
Coincidentally, her way home was in the same direction as her way to the Su family. It was good to take this opportunity to ask Su Qing for her opinion. If the girl was unwilling, she could only find someone else.
It was still early when Gu Yundong arrived at the Su residence. Su Changshun had yet to get off work and return home.
The carriage stopped outside the alley as usual. She and Tong Shuitao walked in.
It was unlike the last time she came. There were not many people at the entrance of the Su family’s house. Even if the neighbors passed by his house, they seemed to have to avoid him.
However, when she arrived at the Su family today, she could still see many people looking at the Su family’s courtyard door. She did not know what they were looking at.
When Gu Yundong came over, their gazes fell on her.
Gu Yundong was already used to such gazes. She only asked Tong Shuitao to knock on the door.
She stood outside the door and waited. With a glance, she saw Madam Sun again.
When Madam Sun met her gaze, she immediately shrank her neck. She no longer had the arrogance and mockery Gu Yundong had seen the first time. She hurriedly entered her house and only quietly opened the door a crack to look out.
The corners of Gu Yundong’s mouth twitched. Mother Su happened to hear the commotion and came to open the door. When she saw her, she was stunned for a moment and quickly moved aside to invite her in.
“Why is Boss Gu here?” She closed the door as she invited her in. After taking a few steps, she felt uneasy and asked, “Did something happen to Changshun?”
Gu Yundong shook her head with a smile. “No, he’s fine. I came here today for something else. Is Su Qing here? I’m looking for her.”
“Yes, yes, yes.” Mother Su quickly nodded and shouted, “Little Qing, Little Qing, come out quickly. Boss Gu is here. She’s looking for you.”
Su Qing ran out of the kitchen in a hurry. She was surprised to see Gu Yundong.
“Boss Gu is looking for me?”
“Okay.” Gu Yundong entered the central room and did not beat around the bush. She told Su Qing that she wanted to open a new shop.
Moreover, this shop specialized in entertaining ladies, so she needed a female shop assistant. She asked her if Su Qing wanted to try.
The salary was a little less than Su Changshun’s. It was two taels of silver a month for now.
Of course, this was only temporary. If the business in the shop was good, the salary would definitely increase.
Su Qing was stunned. Her mother also stood rooted to the ground in shock, unable to recover for a long time.
What did Boss Gu just say? Not only did Boss Gu hire her son as a shop assistant, but she also wanted to hire her daughter as a female shop assistant?
The salary was not low. If Little Qing went too, the siblings’ salary would be five taels.
Moreover, Boss Gu was very generous. Two days ago, on the first day of business at Gu’s, she actually gave him a red packet of two taels of silver.
Su Qing felt her throat go dry. After a while, she asked uncertainly, “Boss Gu, are you really looking for me to be a shop assistant? Are you looking for me, Su Qing?”
Gu Yundong was amused by her. “I’m looking for you, of course. Is there a second Su Qing here? Why? Don’t you want to go?”
“Yes, I do.”
“Since you want to go, I have a few more questions to tell you.”
