Chapter 450: Chapter 452: Finding Brother Ye_1

Yege was interested in the list of timber merchants who had left the association in the last three years, and Nan Feng was going through each name on it.

In the old times, without cameras, Nan Feng could only write down each one by hand. Though she had a good memory, she was far from being able to remember everything at first glance. She had prepared several thin pieces of charcoal in advance and quickly wrote down the names in simplified characters on the white paper she had prepared.

Ever since she knew Yege, he had always been there for her, helping her in various ways. Now that he finally asked her to do something, she made sure to do it conscientiously.

She not only wrote down those who had left in the last three years, but also all the timber merchants who had left the association. In total, she had copied about seventy or eighty names over almost an hour.

After she had finished, Nan Feng returned the files, wrapped up the thick stack of papers, put out the candle, and then sneaked out quietly.

The process went smoother than she had anticipated. Nan Feng then climbed back over the wall using a rope. She heard a few dog barks nearby, but nothing else.

The petite figure soon disappeared into the night.

...

When it was time for lunch, Nan Feng returned from outside with two bowls of Wonjin powder, her face glowing red from the cold.

"Eh, why are you so proactive today, even buying powder for me?" asked Xue Ling, who usually bought the powder for Nan Feng.

Nan Feng smiled, "I have to show some care occasionally, or you’ll accuse me of mistreating my employees."

"Employees..." It took Xue Ling a while to realize that Nan Feng had agreed to let her stay at the branch store.

While placing the powder on the counter, Nan Feng called over Xue Ling, "Let’s finish this now while there aren’t many customers. Otherwise, we won’t have time to eat in the afternoon when it gets busy."

Xue Ling came over, warmed her hands with a few puffs of breath, then picked up her chopsticks, "You weren’t for me staying at the shop before, so why the change of heart now?"

Every time Nan Feng heard Xue Ling say "our store" she felt gratified. She replied, "I thought about it, and we need someone capable of running the store independently. After consideration, you are the most suitable person. However, I do have a condition. I will offer you a base salary, the same as Feng Gu, with one tael of silver each month. This is already a lot for Feng Gu as she doesn’t have high living standards or spend money frivolously. However, for you with your lavish lifestyle, one tael of silver is not even enough for a few pieces of clothes. So if you want to earn more, you have to receive a commission. If your sales are good, the commission can be added, uncapped. For example, if you sell three thousand boxes in one month and receive a two wen commission per box, you can earn a total of seven taels of silver for that month."

At first, Xue Ling didn’t have much concept of money. But after spending time with Nan Feng, she had begun to care about it. She was quite satisfied that seven thousand taels of silver was considerably high income for those times and quickly agreed to it.

Nan Feng said, "We also need to sign a labor contract."

"Labor contract? What’s that?" Xue Ling asked.

"It’s to bind you, in case you neglect your duties causing losses to the shop. Then I can hold you legally responsible under the law. If you run away, I can put out a nationwide arrest warrant for you."

..." Xue Ling glared at Nan Feng, "So you really don’t trust me?"

"It’s not about trust. It’s about going through the proper processes. Additional protection is always good," Nan Feng said with a smile.

...

Finally, the branch store matter was settled.

When Nan Feng returned to Ping County, she immediately took the copied list of names to Yamen to find Yege.
