We also regularly organize events or give out small gifts on special occasions to enhance relationships with consumers. After all, everyone likes to feel valued.”
Shopkeeper Lin responded quickly, a smile on his face, as if he had already seen the beautiful scene of the store becoming even more prosperous.
"You really know how to run a business. Therefore, from now on, one-tenth of the net profit every month will be your reward."
Wen Zhu made a promise solemnly, his words revealing immense trust and respect.
"I'm so ashamed of receiving such generous treatment! But I'm so happy to receive your affirmation!"
When Shopkeeper Lin heard this, his face immediately lit up with joy, and the excitement in his heart was beyond words.
"You've truly put in a lot of effort over this period of time. It's because of your unremitting efforts that the store's business is thriving. So you should gladly accept these rewards. If sales continue to rise, I'll give all employees an additional year-end bonus at the end of the year."
Wen Zhu comforted him patiently, her voice as gentle as a spring breeze.
"I'm really grateful that Miss values my personal efforts so much. I'll tell everyone this good news soon. I think they will be very encouraged and more motivated!"
After saying these words with gratitude, Shopkeeper Lin left the room with brisk and steady steps.
Then, Wen Zhu slowly raised the teacup in his hand and savored the clear and transparent tea carefully.
She swallowed gently, the aroma of tea filling her mouth and lifting her spirits.
She knew that only passionate speeches and actions could inspire people's fighting spirit.
As a manager, only by caring about and investing sincere emotions in this business as if it were your own family can you lead the entire team to move forward together; at the same time, in order to ensure the company's continued stable development, a reasonable and fair profit distribution mechanism is particularly important for attracting and retaining outstanding talents.
After returning to his residence, Wen Zhu picked up a neatly copied scripture from the desk and carefully presented it to Su Qiulu who was sitting in the hall.
The latter didn't pay much attention to it. He just glanced at it and gave a cold order, "You can take it to Xuanheyuan yourself."
Obviously, in her eyes, even if this thing arrived at its destination successfully, it would hardly produce any substantial influence or change, so she was unwilling to waste any precious time and energy on this matter.
So, Wen Zhu maintained his usual gentle expression and said respectfully and sincerely, "I just went to Guangming Temple to pray for blessings, and I brought back a peace amulet specifically for you. Please take a look at it, Madam."
As soon as she finished speaking, she respectfully held up the small gift that contained good wishes in her hands and handed it to Su Qiulu.
Su Qiulu casually glanced at the things in front of her and didn't look at them any more. Instead, she signaled with her eyes to the maid Liuyan beside her to come forward, take it, check it and keep it well.
After finishing all this, the master nodded slightly to show his satisfaction, "Well, it seems that you really put a lot of effort into preparing this gift."
After a brief pause, he continued, "Even on the busiest days in the future, I will leave a fire in the kitchen for you to use so that you can cook for yourself."
Upon hearing this, Wen Zhu immediately thanked her with a face full of joy, "Thank you very much for your gift, Madam!"
Then, as if she had thought of something, she asked, "Do you have a favorite food or a new flavor you'd like to try? If you're willing to tell me, I'll do my best to cook it for you."
At this moment, Wen Zhu acted as if all the misunderstandings between them had disappeared.
Faced with the sudden friendly words and actions, even the usually smart Su Qiulu felt a little confused and puzzled, and wondered in her heart: Could it be that Wen Zhu in front of her is really just such a simple and honest little maid?
Finally, Su Qiulu decided not to dwell on the matter any further and gently waved her hand, saying, "Let's talk about it when I'm hungry. We don't need your care here right now, so you can go down and have a good rest."
After pretending to be like this in front of Su Qiulu, Wen Zhu walked towards Xuanheyuan with confidence and boldness.
There, in addition to handing over the classic text that she had painstakingly copied, she also gave a small notebook recording some personal thoughts and insights to Mother Mei, who managed the daily life of the yard.
"Mother Mei, I've written down all the recipes I learned before. Madam, you can ask the sisters in the kitchen to prepare the food with reference to them. If there's anything you don't understand, you can always send someone to ask me."
Hai Shang said with a smile, her smile was full of warmth and sincerity.
Mother Mei took the notebook and flipped through it, and found that each step was recorded in great detail. Not only were there text instructions, but Hai Shang even drew diagrams to prevent mistakes.
She carefully describes each step so that people can understand the specific operation process at a glance.
Mother Mei couldn't help but admire secretly in her heart.
"You are so careful. Please wait a moment. I will go and show it to the lady."
Mother Mei said this with admiration in her eyes.
She patted Hai Shang's shoulder gently, as if to recognize and encourage her efforts.
Hai Shang nodded slightly, with a calm but confident smile on her face, and stood there quietly waiting for the result.
After seeing the small notebook, the lady of the Duke's wife really asked Hai Shang to come in.
The lady's tone was full of praise: "Wen Zhu, you handled this matter very well, and you should be rewarded."
Her tone was gentle and relieved.
"Master, your reward is too great for me to accept. I feel that the dishes I can cook are not enough and I need to continue to work hard. Perhaps we can send someone out to buy some new recipes and have those sisters learn how to make them. That way, when the master returns to the northern frontier, they can accompany him and serve him, ensuring that he can enjoy delicious food on his journey."
Hai Shang put forward her own ideas, and her words were cautious.
"That sounds like a good idea, but did you know that Liu Niang already has a skilled cook who's good at cooking folk delicacies? Lately, the Duke has been dining there almost every night. So even if the people here are trained, there might not be room for them to show their talents."
There was a hint of regret in the lady's tone.
Hai Shang showed a slight surprise, then asked, "Could it be that Aunt Liu will also accompany Master back to the Northland?"
There was an obvious sense of doubt in his tone, as if he was completely unaware of the matter.
