Tu Wenying smiled shyly and said, "Sister Jiang, you always praise me like this, I'm a little embarrassed."
As the two were talking, the Tu family's steward came over, holding a stack of account books, and said, "Miss, these are the accounts for the new store. Please take a look."
Jiang Huaiyu took the ledger and carefully examined it. She nodded from time to time, a satisfied smile on her face.
"Butler, thank you for your hard work." Jiang Huaiyu put down the ledger and said, "With you all here, I feel much more at ease about the new store's business."
The butler smiled slightly and said, "Miss, you flatter me. We are just doing our duty."
Tu Wenying looked at Jiang Huaiyu and said, "Sister Jiang, look, the Tu family members are all so loyal. This shows that you are a good leader."
Jiang Huaiyu smiled gently and said, "Wenying, you've misunderstood. Actually, I've been learning all along. I've learned a lot from you all."
Tu Wenying looked at Jiang Huaiyu with a puzzled expression and asked, "Sister Jiang, why did you suddenly say that?"
Jiang Huaiyu looked at Tu Wenying and said earnestly, "Wenying, I've actually been observing you all along. Your sincerity and dedication to managing the Tu family business have made me realize that a successful businessman needs not only a business mind but also good character."
Tu Wenying was deeply moved by Jiang Huaiyu's words and said, "Sister Jiang, you are too modest. In fact, you are the role model for us."
As the two were talking, a burst of laughter suddenly came from the courtyard. Jiang Huaiyu and Tu Wenying looked over and saw Deng Shen and Yingxiang gathered with a group of servants, laughing and joking.
Jiang Huaiyu watched this scene and couldn't help but feel deeply moved.
On the eve of the new store's opening, the Tu family's house was brightly lit, with family members busy making final preparations. Suddenly, a servant rushed in, panting, and reported, "Miss, Manager Bai has come in person, saying there's an emergency!"
Jiang Huaiyu was slightly taken aback. She put down her work and quickly walked out of the house. She saw Bai Jinxiao, dressed in a blue robe, standing in the courtyard with a worried expression. When he saw Jiang Huaiyu, he nodded slightly and said in a serious tone, "Master, I have something to discuss with you."
Jiang Huaiyu frowned slightly. She looked at Bai Jinxiao, feeling a little nervous: "Manager Bai, what happened?"
Bai Jinxiao pondered for a moment before slowly speaking: "There's a problem with the new store. Someone spread rumors on the eve of its opening, saying that there was something wrong with the ingredients in our new store, which has made our opening date very precarious."
Jiang Huaiyu's expression changed. She clenched her fists, a flash of anger in her eyes: "Who did this? Why would they do this?"
Bai Jinxiao shook his head: "We don't know who it is yet, but this matter is of utmost importance. If it is not handled properly, the reputation of the new store will be ruined."
The two entered the house and sat down as host and guest. Jiang Huaiyu looked at Bai Jinxiao, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes: "Manager Bai, you usually send someone to deliver messages, why did you come in person this time?"
Bai Jinxiao smiled slightly, a hint of determination in his eyes: "Master, this matter is extraordinary, and I feel it is necessary to come and report to you in person. Moreover, I would like to see your attitude for myself."
Jiang Huaiyu's heart skipped a beat. She knew Bai Jinxiao was a cautious person, and he must have his reasons for doing this. She nodded slightly to show her understanding.
In the following time, the two began to discuss countermeasures. Bai Jinxiao analyzed the current situation in detail and proposed several solutions. Jiang Huaiyu, based on his experience and wisdom, offered some suggestions.
"Manager Bai, I think we should first investigate the source of the rumors and find the mastermind behind them," Jiang Huaiyu said.
Bai Jinxiao nodded in agreement: "That's right, only by finding the source can we solve the problem at its root."
"Moreover, we need to eliminate the impact of the rumors in a short period of time, otherwise the opening day of the new store will be really in danger," Jiang Huaiyu added.
A hint of worry flashed in Bai Jinxiao's eyes: "Yes, time is of the essence, we must act as soon as possible."
Bai Jinxiao was extremely anxious. Looking at Jiang Huaiyu, he said, "What this letter says is no small matter. If Miss Cao is really arrested, the quality and supply of Luo'er Yin Rouge will be difficult to guarantee, which will have a huge impact on Han Yi Fang's reputation and business."
Jiang Huaiyu's expression was solemn, her brows furrowed. She slowly asked, "Is the source of the letter reliable? What is your connection with this young man?"
Bai Jinxiao sighed and said, "This young man is named Lu Aniu. I helped him a few times when he was a peddler. He is an honest and reliable person, otherwise I would not have told him this."
Jiang Huaiyu nodded slightly and said, "Then how should we deal with this?"
The two fell silent, only the squeals of the butcher's pigs outside could be heard.
After a moment, Bai Jinxiao spoke up: "I plan to go to Wusu Ancient Town myself to see what's going on. However, I'm worried that my trip will cause inconvenience to Hanyifang."
Jiang Huaiyu's eyes were firm as she said, "I can go with you. The affairs of Han Yi Fang are gradually getting on track. With me here, you don't need to worry."
Bai Jinxiao looked at Jiang Huaiyu, a hint of gratitude flashing in his eyes, and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you."
Jiang Huaiyu smiled slightly and said, "Don't be so polite, we're family."
...
Early the next morning, Bai Jinxiao and Jiang Huaiyu prepared to set off. Before leaving, Bai Jinxiao told the Tu family boss about the letter and asked him to take care of Han Yi Fang.
The owner of the Tu family was a burly middle-aged man. Hearing this, he frowned and said, "Boss Bai, this is a big deal. Don't worry, I will do my best to help."
Bai Jinxiao and Jiang Huaiyu gave the Tu family boss a grateful look, bid farewell to everyone, and embarked on their journey to Wusu Ancient Town.
The two chatted as they walked.
Jiang Huaiyu asked, "Bai Jinxiao, why are you so concerned about Miss Cao? What does she mean to you?"
Bai Jinxiao was silent for a moment, then said, "Miss Cao is my business partner, and her Luo'er and Yin Yanzhi are the brand names of my Han Yi Fang. But more importantly, she is a trustworthy friend. I know that if something happens to her, she will definitely find a way to tell me so that I can be prepared."
Jiang Huaiyu's eyes softened as she said, "You are truly a person of great loyalty and affection."
As they spoke, the two arrived at Wusu Ancient Town. They headed straight for the rouge workshop, only to find the workshop gates tightly closed and several burly men guarding the entrance.
Bai Jinxiao stepped forward and negotiated with the group. After some twists and turns, they were finally able to enter the workshop.
The workshop was in a mess, and the original female workers were nowhere to be found. Bai Jinxiao found Lu Aniu in the workshop.
When Lu Aniu saw Bai Jinxiao and Jiang Huaiyu, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He said, "Boss Bai, Miss Jiang, you've finally arrived."
Bai Jinxiao asked anxiously, "Where is Miss Cao? Where is she now?"
Lu Aniu looked somber and said, "Miss Cao has been captured by the Cao clan. They plan to sell Luo'er Yin Rouge at a high price and even want to control the entire rouge market in Wusu Ancient Town."
A flash of anger crossed Jiang Huaiyu's eyes as he said, "These guys are truly depraved! We must find a way to rescue Miss Cao."
