Chapter 622: Li Daguanshi

Zhang Juexia, Ye Beixiu and his group entered the city at the moment when the Shunhe County gate was closed.

Li Yun wiped away tears of joy when he saw Zhang Juexia coming back, "Madam, you are finally back.

I see your belly is a lot bigger than when you left."

Zhang Juexia helped Li Yun wipe the tears from her face, "Sister Yang, take a closer look, I feel like I've gained weight!"

"No way! I think the lady is more beautiful than before!"

The men surrounded Ye Beixiu and all they said were words of congratulations.

Li Le, Ye Beilin and Zhang Erzhuang, who were in the shop in front, also rushed over after hearing the noise.

"Brother Bei Xiu, did you really pass the imperial examination?"

Zhang Erzhuang pulled Ye Beilin away and said, "Can you speak? What do you mean by really passing the imperial examination? My brother-in-law is already a juren now."

Ye Beilin glared at Zhang Erzhuang unconvincedly, "Although I know it's true, I just want to confirm it again!"

Ye Beixiu smiled and slapped Ye Beilin lightly, "Good boy, I'm telling you, it's true."

"Ha, ha, my brother Bei Xiu is now a juren, now he is a juren!"

"Okay, stop making trouble, your sister-in-law is tired!"

Several people quickly fell silent, and Li Xi said respectfully to Ye Beixiu, "Boss, we have been traveling all day and are all tired.

I'm going to rest with Li Le now and will rush back to Jinshui Town early tomorrow morning."

Ye Beixiu turned around and instructed Yang Zhi, "Brother Yang, make sure to settle Manager Li."

"Master, don't worry, leave this matter to me!"

The next day, early in the morning, Li Xi returned to Jinshui Town.

Zhang Juexia and Ye Beixiu originally planned to rest at home for a few days before returning to Yejia Village.

Unexpectedly, the two of them didn't get any rest at all, as people came to congratulate them one after another.

Even the newly appointed Magistrate Wu of Shunhe County came to congratulate Ye Beixiu in person.

The two people who originally wanted to keep a low profile had to set up a banquet in Zuixianlou to entertain everyone.

After finishing this matter, Zhang Juexia and Ye Beixiu prepared to return to Yejia Village.

After all, in the eyes of everyone in the Ye family, Ye Beixiu is different now, and their Ye family is also different from before.

Before returning to Yejia Village, Zhang Juexia instructed Li Le to ask the pawnshop to help him find a place to open a hot pot restaurant.

Li Dong asked Zhang Juexia, "Boss, should we rent or buy this shop?"

“It would be best if I could buy it.”

Li Le had an idea in mind. "Boss, don't worry and go back to Yejia Village. When you come back, the shop will be almost ready."

“I may stay in Yejia Village for a few more days. Once you have made your choice, please send someone to tell me.

You will be fully responsible for what happens next.

Li Le, if you are too busy, ask Er Zhuang or Bei Lin to help you."

A hint of discomfort flashed across Li Le's face, but he still nodded in agreement.

Zhang Juexia had been looking at other things in the shop with her head down. She asked Li Le, "You've been with Beilin and Erzhuang for some time now. What do you think of them? If they were to be the shopkeepers, would they be able to handle the job?"

Li Le, you have to tell the truth. After all, I opened the shop to make money."

"Boss, to be honest, they are both old after all, and they still need more experience."

"Well, I'll leave the selection of the new shop owner to you.

Then I will ask Beilin or Erzhuang who is willing to work as an accountant in a hot pot shop.

The accountants should be able to do the job, right?"

Li Le thought about it and said, "It should be possible!"

"That's fine, Li Le. I'm going to hand over all the businesses in Shunhe County to you, including Qin Eryong's farm. You will be their general manager. Do you think it's feasible?"

Li Le looked at Zhang Juexia in surprise, "Boss, I..."

"You and your father have been with me for the longest time. When we were in Qingfeng City, your father and I also talked about you.

He plans to let you get married before the New Year. This is what I think. After you and Cui'er get married, I will open another embroidery workshop in the county town and hand it over to Xiu'er to manage.

This way, you two young couple won’t have to separate.

Also, you are still the one who manages this soap shop now. You can try first to see if you can manage the soap shop well while taking care of the other shops.

If possible, you can be the shopkeeper first. If you feel you are too busy, you can find a suitable shopkeeper to take over your business.

Then, you can just be at ease doing your job as the chief steward in Shunhe County."

Li Le was confused by Zhang Juexia's sudden arrangement. He was so excited that he was a little incoherent, "Boss, I..."

Zhang Juexia waved his hand, stopping Li Le from continuing, "You're not going to tell me that you're not up to the task, are you?

Li Le, I have watched you grow up, and I know best what your abilities are.

Apart from being a little petty and overthinking sometimes, you still have the ability to get things done.

Li Le, I am serious about this arrangement. My business is getting bigger and bigger, and I can't keep everything in my hands.

You and your father are the two people I trust the most. Jinshui Town is where I started, and Shunhe County is where my business is slowly expanding. Both places are very important, and I feel at ease leaving them to you and your father.

But the burden on you will become heavier in the future."

Li Le has adjusted his mood and said, "Boss, don't worry, I won't let you down."

"I trust you, Li Le. After our hot pot shop opens, I'll gather everyone and tell everyone about this."

Ye Beixiu had already packed up, so he went into the shop to call Zhang Juexia. He patted Li Le on the shoulder and said, "Manager Li, my husband and I have entrusted all our properties in Shunhe County to you. I hope you will be in trouble from now on."

Li Le didn't dare to be arrogant, so he quickly bowed and said, "Thank you for your trust, both employers. I, Li Le, will definitely live up to your expectations."

On the way back to Yejia Village, Zhang Juexia wondered, "Li Yingyue only sent someone to bring us a gift, but we don't know where she went.

Li Yiran also disappeared without a trace, and even Uncle Liu went to another place to see patients.

When I first went to Qingfeng City, everyone said they were reluctant to see me leave, but now that I'm back, no one even shows up."

Ye Beixiu smiled and comforted Zhang Juexia, "Maybe everyone is busy, and Miss Li is getting married soon.

Li Yiran might be busy with business, but Uncle Liu's healing and saving lives are more important."

"What you said makes sense!"

"Madam, how about we go to Jinshui Town first and then return to Yejia Village?"

Zhang Juexia asked in confusion, "Why? Aren't you worried about your grandparents waiting anxiously at home?"

"Don't worry, they already know that I passed the imperial examination.

After we go back, we will be busy eating and drinking. Let's go to Jinshui Town to find Manager Wan and discuss it with him.

Then let him take people to the village to prepare a feast."
