Actually, when Yuan Zhao saw so many people before, he already had a general idea in his mind.

But she was still surprised when she actually saw the ledger.

In just over half a year, the shop's profits increased several times over. Even though Yuan Zhao was mentally prepared, he was still stunned by this huge surprise.

She couldn't even imagine what would happen if she handed over all her dowry to Gu Qingfeng to manage.

After calming himself down, Yuan Zhao finally spoke:

"Go and invite Manager Gu."

Upon hearing this, Wenfeng hurried off.

A moment later, Gu Qingfeng entered and bowed to Yuan Zhao:

"Madam, is there a problem with the account books?"

"No problem."

"I wanted to ask if you wanted to expand?"

Yuan Zhao spoke directly.

Gu Qingfeng was taken aback. Even bigger? His journey from a mere apprentice to the manager was something many people wouldn't even dare to dream of.

Now, less than a year later, the family is saying they want him to manage an even bigger business.

Gu Qingfeng was still a young man after all, and he was a little excited when he heard this, but he quickly calmed down.

"Madam, I'm afraid I'll fail to live up to your trust."

"What? You don't have the guts?"

Yuan Zhao looked at him and said, "It's all about earning money, what's the difference?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingfeng's heart stirred. Yes, it's all about making money.

Thinking this through, he steeled his resolve and said directly:

"I am honored by your kind offer, Madam, and I am willing to give it a try."

"good."

"We'll discuss the specifics when you come to my residence tomorrow."

Yuan Zhao spoke.

Gu Qingfeng responded in response:

"good."

Yuan Zhao didn't want to disturb his business anymore. He set a time with him and turned to leave, but then suddenly remembered something and turned back to give him a word of advice:

"I'm not at the General's Mansion now, but at the Rong Mansion, which is over on West Gate Street. You can find out as soon as you ask."

"I know."

Gu Qingfeng didn't hide anything:

"No one in the capital doesn't know about the Rong family."

He wasn't exaggerating at all. People in the capital might not know where the palace was, but no one was unaware of where the Rong residence was.

Yuan Zhao was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, then laughed:

"That's good."

"From now on, you can manage my dowry without worrying about anyone causing trouble."

That guy's name is still quite useful.

Gu Qingfeng hadn't expected Yuan Zhao to be so frank; it seemed the marriage wasn't as they had imagined.

The eldest brother used to worry every day that Miss Yuan would be wronged, but now he doesn't have to worry anymore.

Judging from Miss Yuan's appearance, she seems to be living a comfortable life.

Yuan Zhao did not linger and left after making arrangements with Gu Qingfeng.

Having finally managed to get out of town, and with such a joyous occasion today, Yuan Zhao didn't want to go back so soon, so he sent the carriage to the restaurant.

Wen Feng was somewhat worried:

"Miss, perhaps we should go back first."

She was worried that the same thing would happen again.

"Don't worry."

"Now, no one dares to touch me."

Yuan Zhao spoke.

After all, she had just been betrothed, and to Rong Ruo, that living devil.

Whether it's the Crown Prince or the Second Prince, she would think twice before making any moves against them.

Moreover, she has the General's Mansion behind her.

No one would risk this misfortune without being absolutely certain of escaping unscathed.

Yuan Zhao had the coachman take her to the best restaurant in the capital, the one owned by the Second Prince, where she had been assassinated last time.

When they arrived, it was lunchtime, and the place was packed with people; business was booming.

Yuan Zhao was somewhat surprised. Although the Second Prince's restaurant did good business, it wasn't this crowded. Why were there so many people today?

As soon as she stepped off the carriage, she could faintly smell a fragrance wafting from inside, a scent that seemed somewhat familiar to her.

This is?
