You Said You Didn't Want to Acknowledge Me, So Why Are You Crying Now That I've Truly Cut Ties?

Yun Zhiyi always thought she was the fake young mistress who had taken another's place. After the real one returned, she held back in every way.

Only after being thrown into the mass grav...

Chapter 142 New Fruits Arrive in the Capital

After giving her opinion, Yunzhi felt there was no problem.

Then he handed over Yunsufang to him.

Qionglu Pavilion plans to find two female managers, one as the head and one as the deputy head.

This is a bit more difficult, so there's no progress yet.

Anyway, everything is now in Lu Jingyi's hands. She will only stay at Qionglu Pavilion for three days before leaving.

As soon as he returned to the manor, he saw You Xinyue, who had been waiting there.

Her eyes flashed when she saw You Xinyue.

You Xinyue is a good candidate to be the manager.

However, she is currently in charge of the Tiger Head Gang's affairs, so using her as a manager would be a waste of her talents.

She remembered that You Xinyue had a daughter named Liao Hongyun.

Although she is not as resourceful and daring as her mother, she has good character and experience in cooking and managing household affairs.

Being the deputy manager in charge of logistics would be suitable.

However, the other party still needs to agree.

You Xinyue came to inform her about the situation regarding her contact with Luoshui Palace.

After several days of negotiations, Luoshui Palace expressed its willingness to pay 50,000 taels of silver to redeem the young master of Luoshui Palace.

However, it is essential to ensure that the daffodils are free from disease and injury.

Luo Shuixian was only arrested; she was not injured.

During this period of confinement, she made a mess of herself.

Yun Zhiyi didn't care about the matter and simply nodded in agreement.

Her original target was the Mu family gang; Luo Shuixian was just a side project.

Having received the answer, You Xinyue took her leave.

But Yun Zhiyi called out to him.

“I have a new shop that is currently short of two female managers. I think your daughter is a good fit. When you get back, please ask her for help. If she is interested, she can go directly to Wei Man Zhai to find Manager Lu.”

You Xinyue was surprised, then initially pleased, then worried.

"My daughter is clumsy and stupid; I'm afraid she won't be able to manage the shop well."

Yun Zhiyi said, "It's alright. She only needs to be in charge of logistics. There will be a manager in charge of the business. Speaking of which, do you have any suitable candidates for the manager? Preferably a woman who is good at business, can accept new things, and has excellent character. Other than that, there are no restrictions. The salary will be generous."

You Xinyue never expected that her employer would ask her to make a recommendation.

Her first thought was that her employer was testing her.

However, the suspicions were quickly dispelled.

Although they hadn't spent much time together, she had a good understanding of her employer's character.

She has always been open and honest; if she truly doubted you, she wouldn't continue to rely on you.

If someone values ​​you, they won't easily doubt you.

Knowing that the owner was indeed looking for a female manager, she became more serious and asked.

"What kind of business will the new store operate? What are the revenue requirements? What kind of customers will it cater to?"

Yun Zhiyi said, "It's on Lufeng Street, at the newly opened Qionglu Pavilion. You can go and take a look when you get back later. There are no strict rules regarding revenue, but you can't be too lax. Manager Lu happens to be there too, so you can ask him for details. If you have a suitable candidate, you can recommend him."

You Xinyue has been busy lately negotiating with Luoshui Palace and the Mu Family Gang, while also reorganizing the gang and several new businesses. She's practically spinning like a top.

I really didn't know the owner had opened a new store.

She nodded, indicating that she did have a few good candidates in mind, but she was unsure if they were suitable. She would discuss them with Manager Lu once she had learned more about them.

Yun Zhiyi nodded in agreement.

At this moment, the messenger, carrying heavy gifts, finally returned to the prefectural government.

Princess Fu'an is currently having tea and chatting with a group of noble ladies in the garden.

Last time, Princess Zhao sent her thirty catties of lychees.

This time, she no longer needed to send them to the palace, so she would occasionally invite noble ladies to have tea and taste lychees.

I'll also get a beauty spa treatment while I'm at it.

If Princess Fu'an were to put her mind to it, her talent for business would be beyond question.

Now she's really found creative ways to use Chunyulu (a type of herbal tea).

She did not sell Spring Jade Dew as a standalone product.

Instead, they developed multiple uses for Spring Jade Dew.

Spring Jade Dew can be used externally, or like bird's nest and other beauty products, it can be made into soups for internal consumption.

She then turned Qiongge into a women's beauty salon, which included several experience areas.

There are areas for full-body beauty treatments, areas for partial beauty treatments, areas for flower viewing and dew drinking, areas for hair care, and areas for pure enjoyment.

The beauty treatment area was the most popular.

The beauty salon area, Huanfanghua Garden, has a total of seventy-two pavilions.

Each pavilion is staffed with six maids.

These maids are specially trained to provide facial beauty treatments and massages for guests.

That is, what a group of people are enjoying right now.

Several noble ladies changed into light and cool inner court attire and lay on chaise lounges.

A small tea table was placed next to it, with fruits and drinks.

The maids knelt on the ground and gently rolled jade face rollers along the contours of their faces on skin covered with spring dew.

A group of people enjoyed themselves while chatting.

Nowadays, many noble ladies consider it an unparalleled honor to be invited by Princess Fu'an to her residence for a beauty treatment.

At this moment, a nanny came to Princess Fu'an's side and whispered the situation.

Princess Fu'an's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

I was about to get up and go see the messenger.

Suddenly remembering something, he instructed the old woman to bring over the things and letter brought by the messenger.

The old woman returned shortly afterward, followed by several maids carrying bamboo boxes or baskets on their backs.

A noble lady saw this and was very curious.

The items looked rather rudimentary, unlike those from a prefectural government.

The items were placed on the table.

Princess Fu'an immediately stood up and smiled at everyone.

"I wrote to Zhiyi the other day and casually complained a bit, but I never expected that she would send me fruit again."

The noble ladies' eyes flickered slightly upon hearing this, and they immediately smiled and echoed it.

Princess Fu'an did not hide her relationship with Yun Zhiyi.

They even built momentum for future collaborations and fostered a great friendship.

Those invited to eat lychees also knew that these lychees came from Yun Zhiyi's hands.

Although the lychees were indeed delicious, the noble ladies didn't actually think much of Yun Zhiyi.

When she left the Earl's mansion, many noble ladies shook their heads, thinking it was a foolish and cowardly act.

It was just pure luck that the other party caught the eye of Princess Fu'an; otherwise, they probably would never have remembered this person again in their lives.

However, since the princess had made her stance clear, they naturally had to give her some face.

They laughed and joked a few times, and seeing that Princess Fu'an was showing off, they all got up and surrounded her.

"If it's lychees this time, then we're in for a treat."

At this moment, Princess Fu'an opened one of the bamboo boxes.

The sapphire grapes, which were secured in a small wicker basket, were revealed inside.

Princess Fu'an was taken aback.

The others also let out a soft "Eh?" and crowded around.

The sapphire grapes are well protected and will still be very fresh.

Each one is plump and, under the light, truly resembles a delicate sapphire.

If you don't look closely, you might mistake it for a string of works of art.

"What is this? It looks like a grape, but it's not. How can it grow like this?"

Princess Fu'an took the letter and quickly read it through, her smile deepening.

"The fruits delivered today are all newly cultivated varieties by Zhiyi. These are Sapphire grapes, which are different from ordinary grapes. You'll all know once you try them later."

Then he opened the other bamboo boxes one after another.

The rose-flavored green grapes instantly attracted a lot of attention.
