A young embroiderer, about twenty-five years old, stepped forward, curtsied, and said, "This servant is Liu Qing. I used to be in charge of pattern design in the weaving department and have some knowledge of painting."
Lin Yun's eyes lit up: "Great! Liu Qing, from today onwards, you will be in charge of the packaging design for the rouge, and your wages will be increased by 20%."
She then said to the others, "If you have any good ideas, feel free to bring them up. If one is adopted, you will receive an extra 20% of your wages."
Liu Qing nodded gratefully: "This servant will do his utmost."
"Your servants will certainly do their utmost."
Everyone's so energetic, who could stay calm under such circumstances?
Around noon, Lin Feng and his men moved all the workshop equipment over.
He was covered in sweat, but couldn't hide the excitement on his face: "Little sister, everything's ready. Can you tell me if anything's missing?"
Lin Yun checked it over and said with satisfaction, "Big brother, you've worked hard. Everything is in good order."
She turned to the crowd and said, "You've all worked hard today. I've already had lunch prepared. Take a short rest, and we'll continue this afternoon."
Everyone thanked them in unison and sat down in twos and threes to eat.
At the dinner table, everyone chatted quietly among themselves.
Zhang Ping'an said to Chen Fugui, "This young lady from the Lin family is so young, yet she is so thoughtful in her actions. It is truly rare."
Chen Fugui nodded in agreement: "Yes, he is kind and approachable, and his rewards and punishments are fair. We are lucky to have such a master."
Wang Defa took a bite of his steamed bun and mumbled, "I think the young master is an honest man, but he's a bit reserved."
Upon hearing this, everyone smiled knowingly.

In the afternoon, Lin Yun reassigned the personnel.
She had Liu Qing lead the embroiderers to start designing packaging, and also assigned Li Shun to be in charge of registering inventory.
The servants learned the process of making rouge from the apprentices.
All the ingredients were prepared by Lin Yun herself with spiritual spring water, meaning that the first step of preparation was done by Lin Yun herself, without being delegated to anyone else.
Even if a competitor steals the raw materials, they cannot replicate it.
They can only buy these kinds of goods from her.
With the Lingquan water, there is an excellent anti-counterfeiting label, which is also the most important link in monopolizing the market.
As night fell, Lin Yun stood at the shop entrance, gazing at the crowd who had been busy all day, feeling momentarily dazed.
Having acquired this new shop in just three short months since transmigrating, I can't help but feel proud.
These people from the Imperial Household Department may have had doubts when they first arrived, but their performance today has shown her their capabilities.
No amount of talk is as real as the money you actually receive.
She looked up at the starry sky, feeling the heavy responsibility on her shoulders, but also a sense of relief and confidence in herself and everyone else.
There is strength in numbers, and no matter what, Lin Yun was extremely grateful to Fourth Master at this moment.
We need to leave some people here to watch the shop at night; the backyard is spacious.
There was a place to stay; the embroiderers, shop assistants, manager, and accountant all stayed at the shop at night.
Only Lin Yun, Lin Feng, Wang Defa, and a few servants returned to the old house.
Everyone said their goodbyes, "See you tomorrow."
