“Yes! Sister Haitang is right!” The other girls echoed.
Shen Yuan lowered her eyes to look at the gold and silver treasures laid out on the table. All of this money was enough to buy a small house in a remote part of the city and settle down... She was a little surprised that these girls didn't want it.
However, even if they don't want it, she won't take it. Although she loves money, she doesn't want all kinds of money.
Shen Yuan pushed the things on the table back onto the table.
"This is the wealth you've painstakingly accumulated over the years at Zuichunlou. It's your money, and whoever it belongs to should take it back!"
After several refusals, Haitang took the lead and picked up a pair of jade bracelets, saying to the other girls, "Since Miss Chen has said so, why don't we accept our jewelry and use the rest of the money to invest in this restaurant? The restaurant needs a large sum of money to open, and this money can solve our immediate problem!"
The other girls exclaimed, "Great idea! Great idea! Sister Haitang, that's a wonderful idea!"
After putting away the jewelry, Haitang gave all the remaining money to Shen Yuan.
Shen Yuan looked at the silver coins in her hand, her eyes softening slightly.
Last year, she spent a thousand taels to buy a pharmacy and another hundred taels to renovate the backyard. In addition, she spent money on purchasing medicinal herbs and paying rent for the restaurant. Almost all of her previous money was gone.

She is now penniless; her pockets are emptier than her face.
Having these several hundred taels of silver to use for the opening expenses of the Flower Pavilion Restaurant and to purchase ingredients would undoubtedly solve her immediate problem.
Shen Yuan did not refuse Haitang's suggestion. She accepted the money and said, "In that case, this money will be considered as the initial investment for our Huajian Restaurant. I will distribute shares to each of you according to your investment share. From now on, each of you will be an owner of Huajian Restaurant, and we will distribute dividends to you at the end of each year based on the profits!"
"Alright, Miss Shen is our biggest boss! We'll all listen to Miss Shen!"
Shen Yuan smiled gently: "Then it's settled! The Flower Garden Restaurant will officially open in three days!"
