"This person is a member of a collateral branch of the Yu family, but he is actually half a direct descendant. His name is Yu Shaolian. He is clearly here for the sake of the employer, and his motives are not pure. However, he does have some talent."

Yun Zhiyi already had a guess in her mind, so she wasn't very surprised, just somewhat taken aback.

The fact that the other party could cause Lu Jingyi such distress clearly indicates that their abilities are not simple.

She wouldn't doubt that much.

After all, the other party is labeled as a business genius in the story.

"Are you here for the ingredients too?"

Lu Jingyi's expression was strange, and he nodded slightly. "His only condition is that his wages be exchanged for fruits and vegetables."

Yun Zhiyi was taken aback, and then her eyes turned strange, clearly showing disbelief.

Lu Jingyi touched his nose and smiled helplessly. "I think he's really after the ingredients, but I don't know his specific purpose yet. However, I haven't sensed any malice. Should the boss meet him?"

Princess Fu'an was able to notice this in just a few days.

Needless to say, Lu Jingyi has been through so much over the past few days.

After all, he used to be the steward of the princess's residence, and a steward of extraordinary status. He might have had access to more royal secrets than Princess Fu'an.

So later on, he had some vague, uncertain guesses in his heart, but he just didn't show them.

Lu Jingyi's dilemma and his visit to Yun Zhiyi were purely out of admiration for her talent.

Yu Shaolian is indeed talented, and if he can be utilized, he will be of some benefit to Yun Zhiyi.

Of course, there may be some risks involved.

Therefore, this matter needs to be decided by her.

Yun Zhiyi suddenly thought of something else, and her eyes narrowed unconsciously.

She has been looking for a master for the Xing Shu Men Lu Cun Tang.

If Yu Shaolian truly possesses the abilities described in the story, then that would be acceptable.

She had met Yu Shaolian a few times and found him to be a decent person, not a wicked one.

It seems that the other party has not yet come into contact with the male protagonist.

If we could dig it up...

Her eyes flickered slightly, and she nodded, "Okay, you can arrange it."

"Alright." Lu Jingyi smiled. "Then I won't bother you any longer."

Lu Jingyi was quick; he sent someone to inform her shortly afterward that the meeting was scheduled for the end of the 9-11 AM hour.

It happened to be her daily "off-get off work" time.

When Yun Zhiyi arrived around the appointed time, Yu Shaolian had already been sitting anxiously in the private room for a long time.

Regardless of whether he becomes a world-renowned business genius in the future, he is just an ordinary young man now.

Originally, my self-recommendation was just an impulsive attempt when I was 'desperate'.

Who knew that Manager Lu not only actually met with him, but also had a long chat with him for an entire afternoon.

Initially, since the other party didn't give a definitive answer, I thought it was hopeless.

Who knew that he would be notified today that Yun Dongjia wanted to see him.

Yun Dongjia is just Yun Dianjia.

Yu Shaolian was excited, nervous, and apprehensive all at the same time.

After all, it's alright when you have no hope.

Now that hope has inexplicably returned, there's a growing sense of panic and fear of failure.

Heaven knows he'd never been this nervous when meeting the head of the family before.

Especially since next to him sat Manager Lu, who, despite his gentle demeanor and easygoing nature, always gave him an invisible sense of pressure.

Every breath he took with this man made him feel as if he had been seen through from the inside out, with nowhere to hide.

If the Yun family's fruits and vegetables weren't so appealing, he really wouldn't want to endure this torment.

Upon seeing Yun Zhiyi appear, he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stood up.

"Cloud Store".

Yun Zhiyi entered and nodded to her, "Young Master Yu, we meet again."

Lu Jingyi smiled and stood up. "Master and Young Master Yu, please continue your conversation. I have other matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now."

Yun Zhiyi said, "No need, I have something to talk to you about later."

"Okay." Lu Jingyi nodded.

The three of them sat down again.

Yun Zhiyi looked at Yu Shaolian, who was becoming nervous and uneasy again.

“Young Master Yu, what makes you think of coming to my humble place to work as a helper? This is not in keeping with your status.”

Yu Shaolian paused, then gave a wry smile.

"I have no status whatsoever; I'm just an ordinary person who's looked down upon for being a freeloader."

As he spoke, he looked at Yun Zhiyi with a frank expression.

"I'm sure the store owner is already aware of my situation. I really didn't have any ulterior motives or ulterior motives in doing this. I just wanted to take advantage of the proximity to the source and have more opportunities to eat those ingredients."

Yun Zhiyi smiled and said, "There are plenty of people who want to be close to the source, so please tell me why I chose you."

Yu Shaolian paused, glanced at Lu Jingyi subconsciously, then sat up straight, coughed lightly, and became serious.

"I am not very talented, but I do have some humble ideas and ideas about business. Shopkeeper Yun, you can test me. Perhaps I can work as a general helper, as long as I can exchange my wages for ingredients for the vegetable shop."

Yun Zhiyi raised her eyebrows. "Alright, I want to open another Weimanzhai in the capital. If I were to put you in charge, how would you do it? Let's use this as a topic. Tell me your insights, some feasible methods, and their advantages and disadvantages."

Yu Shaolian was surprised.

Even Lu Jingyi looked over, but quickly looked away, tapping his palm lightly with the fan ribs as he began to ponder.

Yu Shaolian quickly realized what was happening.

Then his expression became more complicated and conflicted.

"May I ask if the ingredients and dishes at Wei Man Zhai in Beijing are the same as here?"

Yun Zhiyi smiled and said, "That's a question you should consider."

Yu Shaolian realized that the issue of ingredients was also part of the assessment.

He pursed his lips and thought about it seriously. When he looked up again, his expression had become serious and earnest.

"There are fifty-five restaurants in the capital, twelve of which are top-tier. Most of these restaurants are owned by royalty and nobility. Many have been operating for many years and are very exclusive. Wei Man Zhai currently has more reputation than status. Although it can win with quality, it will also be targeted by them..."

At this point, he glanced at Yun Zhiyi.

Everyone knows that Yun Zhiyi has powerful backers, but no one knows exactly what those backers are.

As far as we know, it is the Rongguo Duke's Mansion.

If she only had the Rongguo Duke's Mansion behind her, it might be enough in a place like Lufeng City, but in the capital, let alone dominating like she does now, it would be difficult for her to even maintain a secluded corner.

Let alone the Duke of Rongguo's mansion, even a prince's mansion would probably not be enough.

After all, her things are different from ordinary things.

The announcement is not yet public and has not attracted much attention from those important figures.

If this happened in the capital, it would be like a lamb entering a tiger's den.

Who wouldn't be tempted by something so wonderful, including the person in the seat of honor?

The Yun family can't possibly impose all the rules on that person.

Therefore, he felt that if his background could not guarantee that no one in the capital would dare to touch Wei Man Zhai.

Before we are fully prepared, let's not go there.

If you want to expand your industry, you can choose other cities.

The Great Dynasty also had many cities that were just as prosperous as the capital.

Yun Zhiyi remained calm and composed, saying, "You don't need to worry about power struggles for now; you just need to start with the market."

Upon hearing this, Yu Shaolian's eyes flashed.

Lu Jingyi paused for half a second as he tapped the fan.

"Okay, putting aside their concerns, I think..."
