Seeing their silence, the Prefect of the Capital struck the gavel.
"yes."
After everyone was taken aback, one of them glanced at Ye Qingcheng and answered with his head down.
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingcheng turned to look at the person.
"Manager Wu, you..."
"Master, you provided all the rice sourcing channels for our rice shop, and we've been doing everything according to your instructions!"
“That’s right, boss. We operate the shop according to your instructions, and all the ingredients are prepared according to your orders.”
