After about two cups of tea, the room finally quieted down.

Yu Shaolian subconsciously reached for his water glass, only to find that the water in it was all gone.

Lu Jingyi smiled, picked up the teapot, and poured him a cup.

"Thank you, thank you for your trouble." Yu Shaolian looked at the two of them and only then came to his senses, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

He got more and more carried away with his words and couldn't stop himself. He had originally wanted to hide his true abilities, but now he had revealed everything.

Yun Zhiyi's expression remained unchanged, making it impossible to tell whether she was satisfied or dissatisfied.

She turned her head and asked, "Mr. Lu, what do you think of what Mr. Yu said?"

Yu Shaolian's heart tightened, and he immediately turned to look at Lu Jingyi, his expression somewhat complicated and conflicted.

He's both hoping for affirmation and not really hoping for it.

He didn't want to go to the capital; he just wanted some food.

The shopkeeper used this question to test the teacher; if he passed, there was a high probability that he would have to take over the business in the capital.

Lu Jingyi stroked his short beard and said, "Talking on paper is never enough."

In short, this dealt a heavy blow to Yu Shaolian, who was still hesitating about whether to accept the task of opening a store in Beijing.

The pretense of humility finally vanished from his eyes, replaced by a look of utter resentment as he stared at Lu Jingyi.

His face twitched, and he forced a smile, gritting his teeth as he cupped his hands in a gesture of respect.

"I am unsure where there may be any shortcomings, and I hope Manager Lu can provide guidance."

Lu Jingyi simply smiled at him and turned the conversation back to Yun Zhiyi.

What does the employer think?

Yu Shaolian paused for a moment, then immediately turned to look at Yun Zhiyi, who was watching the fight from the sidelines, his eyes filled with a deep, unsettling light.

Yun Zhiyi lowered her eyes, her fingers gently caressing the teacup.

“Young Master Yu’s idea is good, but as Mr. Lu said, it is ultimately just theory. How about this, if Young Master Yu really wants to join us, then let me give you another test.”

Yu Shaolian frowned subconsciously, but still nodded, "Please speak."

He didn't even realize that from the very beginning, his thoughts had been being led by the other person.

"Seven days from now, one of my clothing stores will open. You will temporarily serve as the assistant manager for one month, and everything will be based on the store's performance within that month. How does that sound?"

"The Clothing Pavilion? Where is it?" Yu Shaolian asked in surprise.

Yun Zhiyi's four restaurants are outstanding, while the other two are lukewarm at best.

Few people know that she owned two cloth shops in the city.

Yu Shaolian had known about it before, so he naturally knew, but he just hadn't thought of it at the moment.

He remembered it as a cloth shop, but when he heard "clothing store," it felt unfamiliar.

"It's located within the city, called Yunshuyi Pavilion. If Young Master Yu agrees, Mr. Lu will take you there shortly."

Yu Shaolian hesitated for a moment, "Is it a clothing store?"

Yun Zhiyi nodded.

Yu Shaolian hesitated again, "Then... if I pass, can I work in other stores?"

He glanced at Yun Zhiyi and said, "For example, Wei Man Zhai."

Wei Man Zhai was the place he longed to visit the most.

Because he was certain that the ingredients used in the daily meals of the staff in the building were the same as those used in the formal dishes of the restaurant.

Yige is not a place for cooking, so I don't know if the food is the same as Weimanzhai.

Yun Zhiyi could naturally see through his little scheme and couldn't help but laugh.

She said, "All employees of Yunzhuang have internal purchase quotas. Regardless of which store, all ingredients used for daily dine-in come from Yunzhuang. Young Master Yu, you can decide for yourself whether to accept the offer. Just contact Mr. Lu. I'll be leaving now."

Her last sentence was addressed to Lu Jingyi.

Lu Jingyi had already stood up. "Okay."

Yu Shaolian realized what was happening and quickly stood up, his expression excited.

Seeing that Yun Zhiyi had already turned and walked towards the door, he was about to speak to stop her.

Suddenly, Lu Jingyi pressed down on his shoulder.

Turning my head, I saw that old fox grinning like a fox.

He couldn't help but shudder.

After this delay, we heard the door open.

Yun Zhiyi had already left, and even helped close the door again.

"Eh..."

Yu Shaolian looked annoyed.

Lu Jingyi chuckled, "Young Brother Yu, if you have anything to ask me, you can just ask me directly."

Yu Shaolian glanced at him, feeling that this old fox was too cunning and that he might be stripped bare without realizing it.

He was in a daze yesterday when this guy tricked him into revealing a lot of information.

However, remembering what Yun Zhiyi had just said, he still put on a humble smile and asked, "I wonder what you mean by the employee purchase quota for Yun Manor that you just mentioned? Does it mean that we can freely purchase any items under your name?"

The more he talked, the brighter his eyes became.

Does this mean that he can not only eat those fruits and vegetables every day, but also take some with him?

Is it even possible to reserve a table at Wei Man Zhai with priority?

If that's the case, as long as he's not allowed to go to the capital, he can do whatever he wants.

Lu Jingyi simply smiled and asked, "I wonder if Young Master Yu has decided whether or not to accept the master's test?"

This means it's an internal secret; they won't tell you unless you answer the call.

Yu Shaolian's lips twitched slightly, he sighed helplessly, and forced a smile through gritted teeth.

“This is an honor for me, and there is no reason for me to refuse. I would appreciate your guidance, Mr. Lu.”

Lu Jingyi smiled and said, "In that case, I will take you to Yunshu Clothing Pavilion to start your job first. You can find out the details from Manager You of Yunshu Clothing Pavilion at that time."

With that, he turned and walked out.

Yu Shaolian paused for a moment before remembering that he was the acting deputy manager and there was a senior manager above him. Therefore, the operation and management of the store also had to be done according to his wishes. If the other party was difficult to get along with or unwilling to take his advice, wouldn't he be unable to do anything?

He knew that even within a shop, there were often petty disputes over power and profit.

He hurriedly caught up with him, and asked casually with a smile, "Mr. Lu, may I ask who Manager You is? Also, are there any other managers in the shop?"
