Chapter 387: Pig Innards

Translator: Lonelytree 

Lin Yuelan and Li Huaisheng didn’t have to worry about the business of Linyue Pavilion anymore. However, the thing that annoyed Li Huaisheng was that ever since the business of Linyue Pavilion returned to life, Jinyun Pavilion started to create problems again.

The boss started by buying over the designer. The reason Linyue Pavilion had renewed business was that they had a new designer who designed new and beautiful clothes for Li Huaisheng.

If the boss could bribe the designer into joining Xiangyun Pavilion, Li Huaisheng’s business would dry up again. The plan was good, but the reality was harsh.

No matter how hard he tried to find out or how high the pay he offered, there was no response. His intention was obvious. He wanted to poach the designer from Linyue Pavilion. With high pay and generous treatment, he just wanted the master designer to take the initiative to come to him.

It was a pity that he would never have thought that the mysterious designer was actually Lin Yuelan, who he had sneered at and driven out. How could she work with her competitor? Although Lin Yuelan didn’t even view him as a competitor.

Of course, no one knew about this.

What made Li Huaisheng a little distressed now was that the owner of Xiangyun Pavilion still didn’t give up. He used despicable and shameless means to tempt and threaten the seamstress and tailors.

Other than the few old masters and old embroiderers who were hired in the beginning, the later recruits became tempted. A few of them even wanted to secretly sell their unfinished designs to Xiangyun Pavilion. Fortunately, they were discovered in time.

Li Huaisheng didn’t forgive them. He sent them to court on the charges of trying to sell trade secrets.

However, Li Huaisheng didn’t know what to do about the other workers. He couldn’t fire all of them because then no one would be there to keep the business running.

After much thought, he decided to report this to Lin Yuelan.

After hearing this, Lin Yuelan’s face turned cold, and she said sharply, “We are not using anyone who can be so easily bought. If someone can betray us once, they can betray us again. Spread the word. Whoever has betrayed Linyue Pavilion will never be hired back!”

Those short-sighted people only saw the huge benefits in front of them. They didn’t see that they wouldn’t find the generous treatment given by Linyue Pavilion anywhere else. Lin Yuelan was also not at ease letting such a person work in her shop.

Lin Yuelan said sternly to Li Huaisheng, “Manager Li, you said that you had checked these people’s character before you recruited them. So how can this happen?”

She had to give him a warning before a mistake happened.

Li Huaisheng was shocked by Lin yuelan’s imposing manner. Then, he said truthfully, “We have to recruit more people to keep up with the demands. We recruited three people who seemed to have good character. These people used to work in other stores, but those stores didn’t have good business, so they were forced to leave. When they heard that we were recruiting people, people recommended them to us. I was rather familiar with them. I gave them a test.

“I have been in the business for more than 30 years. But I’ve failed in my assessment of these people. Boss, this is my fault.”

When Lin Yuelan heard Li Huaisheng’s words, she gently knocked on the table. She was expressionless and seemed to be in deep thought.

She suddenly asked, “Since you’re familiar with those three people, is it possible that the manager of Xiangyun Pavilion is familiar with them too?”

Ning An town was only this big. There were only a few clothing shops. Among them, Xiangyun Pavilion and Linyue Pavilion were the biggest shops in the town, so their competition was the fiercest.
