Lu Hongyun then asked Mrs. Ye for the banquet list she had currently accepted. After a closer look, she couldn't help but frown and said, "They are all banquets in the countryside. Putting aside the money, with your current status, you really shouldn't be catering for such occasions. It's tiring and bad for your reputation. It's better to subcontract it out."
Mrs. Ye said, "What kind of status do I have? When I took these orders, I hadn't even planned the flower viewing banquet yet.
"People ask me to prepare a banquet because they think highly of me, and I can't do something that goes against the agreement.
“Besides, the reason I was able to take on the banquet job was because my aunt and Aunt Xiaohua thought highly of me.
"These people paid the deposit on the spot. They didn't even know me, and they were just looking at Auntie Xiao Hua's face.
"If I subcontract the banquet to someone else, not only will I be unable to live with my conscience, I will also be unworthy of my aunt and Aunt Xiaohua's support and trust in me."
Mrs. Ye thought that Lu Hongyun really thought so, so she kept explaining to her, trying to make her give up the idea.
After all, she had just said that she would follow Lu Hongyun's arrangements from now on.
But if Lu Hongyun is such a person, then she has to consider whether to cooperate with her.
Unexpectedly, Lu Hongyun laughed after hearing her words.
"I was just saying it casually. Don't worry, Madam You. You have a point. As long as you don't mind it being too much trouble, just finish the jobs you've paid the deposit for. Don't take on any business casually in the future. Remember to consult me if you have anything."
"Okay!" Mrs. Ye quickly agreed.
She thought that her words had convinced Lu Hongyun, but she didn't know that this was Lu Hongyun's test from the very beginning.
If Mrs. Ye agreed to her proposal without thinking, then although she would continue to help Mrs. Ye, she would definitely be reserved and would not be too open-hearted.
However, Mrs. Ye's performance surprised her a little and she was also very impressed.
When Lu Hongyun does things, he always considers a person's character first and then whether it can make money.
Although she trusted Mr. Jiang very much, the person she would be interacting with in the future was Mrs. Ye after all, so she still had to confirm it carefully herself.
Mr. Jiang had worked with her for many years and understood her personality, and knew that she should be satisfied by now.
So he stood up, walked over with a smile, glanced at Lu Hongyun, and said meaningfully: "I told you a long time ago that you two will definitely get along. Are you relieved now?"
Lu Hongyun smiled at him and said, "I still trust the person you recommended."
She borrowed paper and pen from Mr. Jiang and copied all the orders received by Mrs. Ye.
Mrs. Ye asked, confused, "What are you doing?"
"I heard from Mr. Jiang that you are preparing to go home. I will stay here for the next few days and help you deal with things in the capital."
Mrs. Ye suddenly realized, "Oh, we need to make a copy. It would be bad if there is a conflict in timing."
"Not only that, if you go to the banquet, I have to follow you!" Lu Hongyun said.
"Ah?" Mrs. Ye was surprised. "Sister Hongyun, what are you doing?"
"Since I want to work with you, I must first understand how you do things and what your abilities are. Only then will I know how I can help you in the future, right?"
Mrs. Ye thought what she said made sense, so she scratched her head a little embarrassedly and asked, "Then I wonder how the wages should be calculated? You can see, we went to the countryside to prepare a banquet, and the money is really not much. I also have to pay the three kitchen helpers, and the rest..."
Before she could finish her words, Lu Hongyun interrupted her and said, "You don't have to worry about your wages. My wages for the past few months were paid by Mr. Jiang.
"As for whether we should continue to cooperate, that depends on how our cooperation goes over the past few months." Lu Hongyun smiled confidently, "Don't worry, as long as you trust me, I will definitely make you money. Then you can pay me your wages yourself."
Mrs. Ye had no idea how much a female shopkeeper like Lu Hongyun earned per month, nor did she know how much money she meant by "being able to make money."
So she smiled without any pressure and said, "Then I will borrow Sister Hongyun's auspicious words."
Lu Hongyun asked again, "Madam You, do you mind if I tell you a little bit about your background? Just say you're the descendant of an imperial chef, but I won't go into too much detail."
When Mrs. Ye heard this, her first reaction was to turn around and look at Mr. Cen.
In fact, although she knew that her father was the royal chef, she did not have much sense of reality.
It's like talking about someone else.
So when she heard this, she was actually worried about whether it would hurt Mr. Cen's feelings.
These days, Mr. Cen has increasingly felt that Mrs. Ye and Boss Ye are both very good and honest people, so he increasingly hopes that they can develop better and come to the capital so that they can take care of each other.
Seeing that Sister Ye actually cared so much about her feelings, she felt very satisfied. She nodded and said, "No problem. If you need any help, you can come to me directly."
Lu Hongyun was even more satisfied after hearing this and said, "It would be great to have Mr. Cen's help.
"Don't worry, if I can ever use you, I won't hesitate to be polite to you."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Ye was a little worried that this would cause too much trouble for Mr. Cen, and looked over with a somewhat uneasy expression.
Seeing this, Mr. Jiang said to her, "He is Qingtian's great-grandfather, and it is his duty to help you.
"If he didn't understand your temper and knew you wouldn't accept it, he would have wanted to bring you to the capital to live with him."
