A few days later, Shen Tian accompanied Ren Tingting back to the Ren Residence, and the doors of the Ren Residence were opened again.
At this moment, the hall was filled with the owners of the shops under the Ren family's name. Many people walked into the hall one after another. As soon as they entered, they could see a young girl sitting at the head of the table.
However, that graceful figure and lovely face did not make people think that this was the new generation of elders in the Ren residence!
"Miss Ren, I don't understand what you're talking about. I came here because I respect Mr. Ren, but now you're asking me to take back the shop.”
"That's right. What are we going to eat after closing the shop?”
When someone heard that Ren Tingting wanted to take back all of their shops, he was so angry that he slammed the table and shouted.
"Ren Tingting! Don't think that we'll listen to you just because you invited Mr. Shen today!”
For a moment, the Ren family's hall was in a mess. Ren Tingting had never experienced such things before. In the past, if she faced so many people and argued with them, she would definitely not be able to do it. At that time, she might not even be able to say anything.
But now, ever since she experienced the incident with Old Master Ren, Ren Tingting felt that there was nothing more terrifying than life and death in this world.
Moreover, Shen Tian was here!
Shen Tian was sitting next to Ren Tingting. He took a sip of tea and placed the teacup on the table.
Pa ~
A crisp sound rang out, and the entire hall fell silent. The noisy Ren family's main hall instantly fell silent.
"Mr.…Mr. Shen, I…I didn't mean anything else!”That person immediately became dispirited, and his tone was no longer as tough as before.
Shen Tian put down his teacup and continued to open the book between his legs. Then, he began to flip through it expressionlessly.
At the same time, he thought to himself, What does it have to do with me? I'm just here to read a book.
Sigh, if it wasn't for Master urging me every day and asking me how my talisman cultivation was, I wouldn't have wanted to hide. Isn't it nice to read novels at home?
I want to see the night, how can I have the time to care about you! Are you guys suffering from persecutory delusions?
Shen Tian scratched his nose, crossed his legs, and continued reading.
"Everyone, please listen to me. The purpose of taking back the shop is to return everyone's freedom. From now on, everyone will no longer have a master-servant relationship with the Ren family.”
Ren Tingting did not get angry because of the argument just now. Instead, she smiled and explained patiently.
"Is…is this true?" Someone looked at Ren Tingting in confusion.
"Not a slave? Then we'll be free!"
Some people said with some melancholy.
"Sigh, I'm already so old. My son is disappointing, and the whole family depends on me. How can I support my family if I'm not a servant?”
Some people thought about it and agreed. Although it didn't sound good to be a servant, how could he support his family if he wasn't a servant?
"Miss Ren, we're all old. Some of us have elders and children. If you ask us to leave the Ren family now, how are we going to live?”
At this moment, everyone in the lobby, except Shen Tian, looked at Ren Tingting. Some of them hoped that they would become free and get back the indwelling contract. Some people wanted to stay in the Ren family as servants so that they could support their families.
"Everyone, don't be anxious. Take back the shop, we're all equal, and from now on, we're all free people.”
Ren Tingting took out a yellow piece of paper with the joining contract written on it and continued.
"Of course, if someone has been with the Ren family for a lifetime, we won't ignore them. So if you want to continue making money, you can sign this alliance contract with me.”
Everyone was a little confused and asked," What is an alliance contract?”
"To put it simply, you can use my Ren family's signboard to open a shop. You can renovate the shop as you please. You can go out and buy it, or you can rent it from me. You can be your own boss. I don't care how you operate it, how you purchase and sell goods, whether you make a profit or a loss is up to you.”
"But if you use my Ren family's brand, you have to pay me 20% of the profits as a brand usage fee!”
As soon as Ren Tingting finished speaking, someone said unhappily.
"Twenty percent! Too many."
"No, no, we can't earn 20%!”
For a moment, the hall was in chaos again.
Ren Tingting tapped her fingers on the table and said.
"Everyone, quiet down."
Soon, the hall became much quieter, so Ren Tingting continued.
"Our Ren Town is a big tourist town. More than half of the town's income comes from the consumption of foreign tourists.”
"At this time, a new shop or a century-old shop is competing. Who do you think is better?”
At this time, the lobby was very quiet. Although it still felt that 20% was a lot, what Ren Tingting said was not without reason. These bosses had been in the business for so many years, so they naturally could tell at a glance whether it was good or bad.
"The Ren family will never harm you. Moreover, this is also Mr. Shen Tian's suggestion. Do you think Mr. Shen is the kind of person who will harm others?”
"So this is what Mr. Shen said!"
"No wonder. Thinking about it, 40% doesn't seem to be much. To have my own shop and inherit the Ren family's brand, I'm not afraid of not being able to earn money!”
"If Mr. Shen says it's good, then it can't be wrong! Let me sign this contract first.”
……
Soon, everyone in the Ren family's lobby signed the contract. Ren Tingting left the rest of the procedures to the butler to explain.
"Brother Shen, you're really amazing. How did you think of this idea?”
In the Ren family's Ren Tingting's boudoir, Ren Tingting was hugging Shen Tian's arm tightly and shaking it from side to side. She looked at Shen Tian with admiration and infatuation.
"Although the income will be a little less than before, this way, the Ren family can save 70% of their manpower, resources, and energy to manage these shops. It's not too cost-effective! Why are you so smart, Brother Shen?”
Shen Tian sat cross-legged on the sofa and read a book calmly. He said calmly," Read more books. You'll understand when you read good books."”
Shen Tian felt a little dizzy from Ren Tingting's shaking. He shook his head helplessly and thought to himself," These are all common tricks in post-modern society. You just haven't seen them."
Shen Tian was a little dizzy from Ren Tingting's shaking and waved his hand.
"Alright, alright, you're shaking my head! If there's nothing else, I'll go back first."
"Hmph, you only know how to read. Ninth Uncle asked you to help me, but you came here to read!”Ren Tingting toot and looked at Shen Tian with resentment." Then, you can stay for a meal. I'm begging you!"”
Just as Ren Tingting was complaining, there was a knock on the door! Then, a servant girl brought in a letter.
Ren Tingting glanced at the envelope and said doubtfully," Cousin Ren Zhuzhu?”
Then, he opened the envelope and read it. After a while, he put down the letter and looked at Shen Tian with a sad expression." Brother Shen, can you do me another favor?"”
"What is it?" Shen Tian said as he flipped a page.
"My third grandfather has passed away. Uncle said that the fallen leaves will return to their roots and will be sent back to Ren Town in the next few days. When the time comes, I would like to invite you over to do a ritual.”
Third Grandpa? Shen Tian thought about the movies he had watched in the past, but he could not remember who Ren Tingting's third grandfather was.
"Who is your third grandpa?"
Ren Tingting explained," My third grandfather's name is Neido. He lived in another town when he was alive, so not many people here remember him.”
Hmm? Ninja?
Could it be the musical zombie Ninja?
Shen Tian did not speak for a long time. He seemed to be deep in thought. He only gave a perfunctory reply when he flipped through the book.
"Oh."
Ren Tingting looked at Shen Tian in confusion. Did he agree or not?
"I've finished what Master told me to do.”Shen Tian stood up and walked out." If there's nothing else, I'll go back first. I haven't filled the hole in the mortuary yet…"
