As someone who just joined the Hanlin Academy this year, Xiu Luo was naturally not assigned a very nice house.
However, this is basically how newcomers who are building up their seniority work.
Just as Qifei arrived at the door, Shura came out from inside.
Upon seeing Qifei, his previously expressionless face immediately broke into a smile.
"I thought you weren't coming."
Qifei arrived late; some people had already gone to eat.
I had wanted to call out to Shura before, but Shura refused.
He didn't work in the end, but sat at his desk, restless, wondering whether Qifei would come or not.
Anyone who didn't know better would think he was thinking about something important, his brows were always furrowed.
I'm naturally happy to see people now.
"Here, this is for you, it's heavy." Qifei handed the food box to Xiuluo and shook her hand.
Modern food containers are made of wood, making them much heavier.
"Thank you for your hard work, Madam." Shura took Qifei's hand. "You haven't eaten yet, have you? Come and eat with me."
"Is it okay?" Qifei was actually quite interested in the place where Shura worked.
“We have a special place to eat here. When our families come over, we take them there.”
Shura explained, and led Qifei to a small, private room.
This room was a thoughtful perk provided by the Hanlin Academy to its subordinates.
Because some people bring their own food and can't heat it up, they specially set up a room and a stove there to heat their food.
When Shura led his men inside, several people were already sitting and eating.
Upon seeing Qifei, they all stood up to greet her.
Qifei brought a food box that was completely full this time.
She was thinking that Shura could share the food with his colleagues.
Qifei is never short of money, and her family owns a restaurant business. The chefs in her family are all trained.
As soon as the food box was opened, the enticing aroma instantly filled the entire room.
Several people who were eating suddenly found their food less appetizing.
The food was already quite bland, and then this direct, intense aroma assaulted it—it was practically deadly.
"My wife has brought too much stuff. Why don't you help carry some of it? Otherwise it would be a waste."
Shura divided the food into portions and placed two plates in front of the other people's tables.
"Please help me out, everyone. It wouldn't be right to take the food back with me."
Shura spoke very modestly, but the others, already drooling from the aroma, gladly accepted the two dishes.
The tables in the dining area are small, and when two people sit facing each other, their knees can easily touch.
Since Shura had long legs, he simply stretched them out and clamped them between Qifei's legs.
Fortunately, the two were sitting at a corner table, and everyone else's attention was focused on the new food, so they didn't notice them.
Even Qifei blushed a little.
Although she can be quite uninhibited at times and enjoys joking around with Shura.
However, there were still outsiders present, so she had some reservations.
Shura, however, remained calm and served Qifei some food, saying gently, "Eat something quickly. At this hour, you probably haven't eaten anything this morning."
Qi Fei didn't eat much in the morning. She usually gets up late, so she played with the child for a while before taking the food box to the Hanlin Academy.
Shura knew this habit of hers very well.
The two finished their meal, their affection palpable, while everyone else had already eaten and left.
Both plates were completely emptied, with nothing wasted.
Shura helped put the plate into the food box, and took Qifei's hand, saying, "I'll see you out."
He only let go of the man's hand when they reached the door, and nodded to the colleagues he recognized.
After leaving the Hanlin Academy, Qi Fei didn't rush home but went to Xiuchun Pavilion first.
When the topic of Xiuchun Pavilion came up yesterday, she realized that she hadn't been here for a while.
Basically, the shopkeeper would take the account books and report the situation to her.
However, her father had a saying: to do business, you have to keep innovating and not rely on past achievements, otherwise it's easy to run out of money.
Qifei agrees with this statement.
Although she didn't do business before, she learned a lot from what she saw and heard.
In several worlds, Shura was a very successful businessman, and sometimes he would hug her and tell her some common business tricks.
Moreover, having lived through the era of information overload several times, she can still impress many people with her marketing knowledge, even if she only imitates what others have learned.
Her next plan is to open a self-service store in Beijing specifically for women.
It contains all sorts of cute and adorable things, guaranteed to capture the hearts of countless girls as soon as it appears.
She didn't intend to open a shop that was considered high-class.
The purchasing power in these kinds of stores is mainly held by young girls.
The young girls don't have much money each month, so the items can't be too expensive.
If you really want something more exquisite, then there's a different price.
Anyway, the Jun family has a lot of embroidery workshops, so it's relatively easy for them to make whatever they want.
She had written to her father about this beforehand, and even drew up some blueprints, which she had the maids make as samples and send over.
Judging by the time, the goods should be arriving soon.
Xiuchun Pavilion is always crowded. When Qifei arrived, there were many people coming and going in the store.
The shopkeeper was also busy, and when he saw Qifei, he only had time to nod in acknowledgment, and didn't have time to speak at all.
Qifei didn't mind, waved her off and told her to go about her business, and started strolling around.
The main thing is to look at what the major flaws are and see if the product needs any adjustments.
The best-selling items were naturally cosmetics like rouge and face powder.
Xiuchun Pavilion's rouge and face powder gave me a very good complexion after applying makeup, and when I bought them, there was even someone who taught me how to create a natural makeup look.
To make it so that others can't tell that you're wearing makeup, and think that's how you naturally look.
Then there are clothes.
Qifei had been learning to make clothes before, so design was naturally no problem for her.
The Jun family has no shortage of people who make clothes.
She enjoyed designing clothes with the embroiderers; it was a collision of different ideas.
It will create a different kind of spark.
When Qifei opened her shop, her father specially arranged for a group of embroiderers to come and open an embroidery workshop for his daughter to support her business.
These embroiderers were almost all assigned to work on Xiuchun Pavilion's projects, so there was no way to get them to work on the projects Qifei wanted to make for her new shop.
That's why Qifei wrote a letter to her father for help.
She was deciding which products to launch when a mournful cry suddenly came from the doorway.
I vaguely heard things like "shady shop" and "hard-earned money".
Qi Fei frowned and walked out.
Xiuchun Pavilion is always crowded, and the sign outside that says "No Men Allowed" keeps those who can't get in curious about what's inside.
In addition, since it was a place with many people coming and going, the woman's crying and wailing drew everyone's attention to her standing at the door.
Even the people in the private rooms on the second floor opened their windows and looked down towards the door.
