Chapter 455: The Number One Scholar is a Wife Slave
Wen Yan knew.
Ying Zhilin wanted her to give in.
If they were just ordinary friends, Wen Yan would have taken the initiative to ease the relationship long ago.
But he is the ex-husband.
Wen Yan was eager to take this opportunity to clear up the relationship.
She asked Pei'er to entertain the young leader Yuan well, and she went back to the "Qingfeng Little Building" to continue her work.
After a while, Pearl came back.
Pei'er came to Wen Yan with something in her arms, and said mysteriously, "Miss, the Huo family has sent something again."
"What's coming again?"
Pei'er took out the box from her arms and opened it. She saw a pair of pearl silk flowers lying inside. The design was very delicate, but Pei'er burst out laughing.
"Isn't this the silk flower headdress from Tianyi Cloth Shop?
If you spend 100 taels of silver in the store at one time, you can get a pair for free.
Selling it alone would only cost six taels of silver." Pei'er said in an exaggerated tone, "What's the matter with that guy surnamed Huo?
He wants to please you, but his approach is too shabby.
He is the eldest son of a marquisate and grew up in a wealthy family.
Even if you are not familiar with general affairs, you should at least understand the ways of the world!
Moreover, in the eyes of outsiders, you are in charge of two shops that make a fortune every day. You have seen so many good things, and your hands must be sore from counting the money you handle every day, okay?
He uses a pair of silk flowers to appease you, who is he looking down upon?"
"You've become more arrogant." Wen Yan pinched Pei'er's angry face and soothed her, "To us, he's just like a cat or a dog on the street. Why bother getting angry with them?"
Wen Yan closed the lid of the box and said, "Find someone to return this box."
"Okay." Pearl immediately became happy. "We don't want the miser's things."
"By the way, miss, all the account books for this month have been collected and are in this big box." Pei'er said, and went out happily.
Wen Yan looked at her lively and cheerful appearance and shook her head helplessly.
Her eyes were blank for a moment.
Huo Yaoxing gave her such a cheap gift just to please her.
It's not that he looks down on others.
But he looked down on himself.
Because she was like this in her previous life, and myself at this time period, was like this.
Not to mention a silk flower headdress worth a few taels of silver, even if you just bring her a box of snacks, she will be happy for a long time.
She poured all her love into Huo Yaoxing and let him have whatever he wanted.
Even though Huo Yaoxing was reborn, even though he wanted her money and connections, he never looked down on her, let alone respected her.
He still thought of her as the one from his previous life, whose heart and eyes were filled with his Wen Yan.
hehe!
How ridiculous!
Wen Yan covered her face with her hands, then let go after a while. There was only calmness in her eyes.
She opened the box containing the 'account book' and went to work seriously.
Wen Yan would look through the account books of several shops in the capital every few days. The accounts were clear and she could finish them in a few seconds.
What I saw next was the accounts of the incense shop.
The incense shop was jointly opened by her and Madam Sheng.
Mrs. Sheng’s family is in the spice business, and Wen Yan has perfume-making skills.
They are a strong combination.
The incense made by Wen Yan is very popular.
After a few months, after deducting the initial investment costs, the company earned five to six hundred taels of silver every month.
Wen Yan had to make incense and manage the shop. She took 60% of the profits and could get three to four hundred taels of silver every month.
What remained were the account books sent by the Meng family's restaurants in other places.
After the New Year, Huang Ying'er approached Wen Yan to cooperate in the braised food business.
Wen Yan doesn’t own a food shop or restaurant, but the Meng family does.
There are so many retired disabled veterans in the Northern Army.
With the support of the Meng family, many of them either helped the Meng family manage their business, while others started their own businesses.
From the capital to the north, the Meng family has businesses in every state.
Although the south is not as dense as the north, there are still quite a few.
They are usually restaurants, or businesses such as rice, grain and cloth.
Wen Yan ground the spices for braised meat into powder, and wrote the process and techniques of braising meat into a booklet, which was packaged and sold together with the braising ingredients packets.
Let the following shops produce and sell accordingly.
Wen Yan doesn't care how those shops sell braised meat.
She only sells marinade packets.
Wen Yan flipped through the account book and found that the marinated ingredients were selling quite well.
Wen Yan calculated that in half a year, he had earned more than two thousand taels of silver.
After she and Huang Ying'er split the money, she could get more than one thousand taels.
Add to that the big heads of 'A Little Mo', 'Tianyi Cloth Shop' and 'Qingfeng Xiaolou'.
In less than half a year, Wen Yan earned nearly ten thousand taels of silver.
Wen Yan was stunned when she saw this number.
She is considered a wealthy woman now.
“By the way, Ying Zhilin spent seven or eight thousand taels to buy the yard.
I can share half of it for him…” Wen Yan muttered to herself.
Suddenly, she stopped herself from continuing her fantasy.
No! No!
This is not right!
She and Ying Zhilin broke up.
He bought the yard and it will belong to him in the future. There is no need for me to pay for it.
That’s right.
The title deed to Huaihua Lane is still in her hands.
Wen Yan ran to the boxes nearby, rummaged through them, and found a brand new house deed.
Everyone separated.
His things should be returned.
Wen Yan turned around and walked out, but suddenly stopped.
She sat back down at her desk.
Let's wait for a while.
So that Ying Zhilin wouldn’t feel that he had hope again.
Wen Yan put aside all distracting thoughts.
I picked up the last account book. It was the account of the cloth spinning workshop.
Because the spinning was handed over to individual households for weaving, the accounts were complicated and messy.
Manager Cui specifically handed this matter over to Brother Liu Si to train his abilities.
Wen Yan was flipping through the accounts, and Fourth Brother Liu was learning very quickly.
Not only did he learn to keep accounts properly, he even made summaries on a daily, ten-day, and monthly basis.
At the end of the month, he also recorded the problems and came up with solutions.
A smile appeared on Wen Yan's face. Fourth Brother Liu was born to be a businessman.
When Qingchuan comes back next time, let Brother Liu Si follow him to do business, maybe he can grow faster.
The pigments, ink sticks, and spices in her hands are all very suitable goods for trading.
That’s right.
They can now also sell these products to more distant places along the sales route of marinated ingredients.
Wen Yan was thinking in his mind.
evening.
It was time for Ying Zhilin to leave the office.
Ying Zhilin was still slowly flipping through the book in his hand.
The colleague across from him asked curiously, "Brother Ying, why haven't you been looking at the recipes these days? And aren't you in a hurry to go home and make dinner for your wife?"
Ying Zhilin sighed, frowned, and said, "My wife dislikes me. She doesn't like to talk to me recently."
"Oh my god. How could such a good husband like you, who is so filial to his parents, be despised? Your wife is so ungrateful."
Ying Zhilin immediately glared at him: "Don't say bad things about my wife. My wife is the best woman in the world.
If she dislikes me, it must be because of something I did wrong, not her fault."
Colleagues: “…”
have to!
This top scholar is undoubtedly a wife slave.
No more chatting today!
