Chapter 240 Recruiting Peerless Warriors
A moment later, Gu Qianbei led a man in black into the room.
"Let me go!"
The man in black let out a woman's sharp shout, clearly quite displeased with being dragged away by Gu Qianbei.
"Old Bai, recognize him."
Gu Qianbei pushed the man in black in front of Bai Zhantang.
"You're Senior Brother Bai!"
Before Bai Zhantang could speak, the man in black recognized him and his tone was full of surprise.
"Who are you? I've never seen you before."
Bai Zhantang scrutinized the man in black before him, his face full of confusion.
The girl was quite pretty, but he had never seen her before.
"It's me, Senior Brother Bai! I'm Zhu Wushuang! Your junior sister, Zhu Wushuang!"
Zhu Wushuang said excitedly.
"Nonsense, Wushuang isn't nearly as thin as you. I remember being as big as a bucket when we were kids."
Bai Zhantang didn't believe it at all.
"I've successfully lost weight! You won't believe me, just look!"
Zhu Wushuang puffed out her cheeks, allowing Bai Zhantang to vaguely recognize her former appearance.
"Oh my god! You're so thin! How did you get so skinny? You must have suffered so much!"
Bai Zhantang recognized Zhu Wushuang at this moment and was also very excited.
"Senior brother! I've been looking for you for so long!"
Zhu Wushuang hugged Bai Zhantang tightly, and Bai Zhantang hugged her back.
These two unfortunate fellow disciples finally met again after many years.
Seeing this, Manager Tong, who was standing nearby, showed a look of jealousy.
Gu Qianbei watched the scene unfold with great interest, feeling as if she were watching a TV drama.
It still tastes the same, feels good.
Next, Zhu Wushuang revealed the news of the Sunflower Sect's disbandment, which surprised and delighted Bai Zhantang.
"Xiao Gu, your information network is amazing. You weren't lying to me just now, the Sunflower School really is gone."
When have I ever lied to you?
Gu Qianbei laughed.
"Didn't you lie to me when you sneaked back last time?"
Bai Zhantang complained.
Gu Qianbei gave an awkward smile and said, "It was an accident."
Bai Zhantang didn't argue with Gu Qianbei, but instead looked at Zhu Wushuang.
"Wushuang, what are your plans next?"
"Senior brother, as you know, I have no father or mother and nowhere to go."
Now that I've found you, I naturally want to come and serve you.
"Okay! No problem! You can stay at the inn then!"
Bai Zhantang patted his chest and assured him.
At this moment, Tong Xiangyu spoke up, "Zhantang, the shop doesn't need any more people right now. It's not appropriate for your junior sister to stay."
"Why aren't you sure? Xiao Guo is gone, and the inn is short of a handyman, isn't it? Wushuang can fill in perfectly."
Bai Zhantang said.
"Before Xiao Guo came, there were no odd jobs, and he did them well for two years."
"Well, we're short one person now. What's wrong with letting my junior sister do it?"
Bai Zhantang said with dissatisfaction.
Gu Qianbei, however, could tell that Tong Xiangyu wasn't unwilling to help, but rather jealous of the close relationship between Zhu Wushuang and Bai Zhantang, fearing that if Zhu Wushuang stayed, something else might develop between them.
Seeing that the two were about to start arguing, Gu Qianbei stepped forward and said, "How about this, my Qianchou Si has always been short of someone to manage it. I think Miss Wushuang is quite suitable. Why don't you stay at my place?"
Food and lodging included, all medical expenses covered, one tael of silver per month, double at the end of the year, additional subsidies for holidays, and bonuses for good performance. How about it?
"Xiao Gu! You should have said you needed someone earlier! Actually, I can do it too, what do you think of me?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhantang was instantly moved.
This treatment is too good.
You should know that the salary at Tongfu Inn was only two qian of silver a month. If it weren't for the fact that food, lodging and medical care were provided, they would have been unable to survive long ago.
But now, under the same conditions, Qianchousi earns one or two taels of silver, a full five times his salary.
Not to mention the double pay at the end of the year and holiday subsidies.
"Exhibition Hall!"
Tong Xiangyu exclaimed in dissatisfaction.
Gu Qianbei laughed and said, "Old Bai, if I were to poach you, Manager Tong would turn against me."
I could recruit your junior sister, it would be the same thing.
"So, Miss Zhu, how about it? Think it over?"
"Huh? Can I really do it?"
Zhu Wushuang was at a loss for what to do.
She didn't know Gu Qianbei, nor did she know what his temperament was like.
But from the moment the other party subdued her with a single move, she knew that this person was terrifyingly strong.
However, judging from the other party's appearance, they have a good relationship with my senior brother and probably won't try to harm me.
Bai Zhantang pulled Zhu Wushuang over and said, "Shuang! Are you still hesitating? You know how bad the job market is right now."
Such working conditions are probably unique in the entire Guangyang Prefecture, let alone the entire Qixia Town.
Let me tell you, Xiao Gu is a good guy. I don't mind if you work for him.
When you make money, don't forget your brother!
Just agree already!
"Once this opportunity is gone, it'll be gone forever."
"Okay, senior brother, I'll listen to you!"
Upon hearing Bai Zhantang's words, Zhu Wushuang immediately made a decision and looked at Gu Qianbei.
"Manager Gu, I agree!"
"Okay, welcome to my team."
Gu Qianbei smiled with satisfaction.
I didn't expect to find a suitable shopkeeper so quickly.
By the way, Zhu Wushuang's cooking skills are also superb, so we won't have to eat Li Dazui's overly salty meals in Qixia Town anymore.
"Miss Wushuang, please come with me. I'll introduce you to the work environment and things you need to be aware of."
You can start work today.
"Alright, Manager Gu! Senior Brother, I'll head over now."
"Go ahead, sis. I'm counting on you from now on. If I go to buy alcohol, remember to give me a discount."
"No problem, senior brother."
Gu Qianbei laughed and said, "Old Bai, you're blatantly trying to take advantage of me."
"You're not short of money. Others may not know, but I do. Your wine is selling for a lot of money in the capital these days."
A single jar can fetch several hundred taels of silver; people will buy it.
"You'll never lack money in your life, right? What's wrong with taking care of your brother?"
Bai Zhantang complained.
"You knew about this?"
Gu Qianbei asked in surprise.
"I didn't make my way in the underworld for nothing."
Bai Zhantang said with a mysterious expression.
"Actually, Xiaomi mentioned it when they were chatting with us that day."
Before Bai Zhantang could even put on a show of being tactful, Manager Tong shattered his facade.
"Hey, why did you just blurt it out? I was trying to build up my mysterious persona."
Bai Zhantang said with dissatisfaction.
"Serves you right for pretending!"
Tong Xiangyu snorted coldly, turned around and left.
"What's wrong with this woman? Did she take the wrong medicine? Why is she so temperamental today?"
Bai Zhantang asked in confusion.
"Shopkeeper Tong is jealous. Jealousy from someone without status tastes the most bitter."
Gu Qianbei laughed.
"what?"
Bai Zhantang was completely bewildered.
"Why don't you go and coax her a little? Miss Wushuang, let's go."
"Yes, Manager Gu."
Zhu Wushuang followed Gu Qianbei to Qianchousi Si, while Bai Zhantang thought for a moment and sighed.
"Being too charming can be a problem. My stingy but domineering shopkeeper has fallen for me, what should I do?"
