Before he knew it, the furniture shop Anleju had been open for three months. If Ren Chu hadn't come to the store, Murong Shu would have forgotten that he even had a furniture shop.
The main reason was that Second Madam Wen felt sorry for Murong Shu because she was pregnant, so she was in charge of all the management of the shop herself. With the help of Ren Chu, many things were solved when they went to Second Madam's place.
After what happened last time, Ren Chu and Meng Yun are even more loyal to Murong Shu. Murong Shu tells them to be upright people and that the Wen Mansion and the General's Mansion are their backers.
Ren Chu and Meng Yun were very touched and paid great attention to the affairs of the shop. They almost lived and ate in the shop for the past three months. Everyone in the shop witnessed their efforts, so they worked harder.
When Madam Wen brought Ren Chu in, Murong Shu and the little prince were practicing calligraphy. To be precise, the little prince was practicing calligraphy and Murong Shu was supervising him.
"Shu'er, look who's here!" Mrs. Wen walked into the yard and looked at the harmonious and warm couple, a smile rose on her lips.
"Second sister-in-law, Ren Chu, why are you here?" Murong Shu was very surprised. He didn't expect that second sister-in-law would bring Ren Chu to see him.
"Hello, Boss. Ren Chu is here to report to you on the performance of the shop in the first three months since its opening!" After greeting Murong Shu, Ren Chu was a little excited, as the performance of the shop was really too good.
Ren Chu learned the new words such as "performance" from Murong Shu. After these three months, Ren Chu has been able to adapt to them.
"Hello, Second Aunt!" The little prince, who was practicing calligraphy, greeted his Third Aunt obediently when he saw that it was Second Madam Wen who brought people to look for her.
"Ao'er is so good, and his handwriting is getting better and better." Madam Wen took a look at the handwriting of the little prince and found that he had made great progress. Her third brother was really amazing.
"Ao'er, let Sister Xiaotao accompany you to practice calligraphy here. Third and Second Aunts want to discuss something. Can you take a rest after you finish writing this piece of paper?"
Murong Shu touched Xiaotuanzi's head, asked Xiaotao to stay and help Xiaotuanzi practice calligraphy, and he took his second sister-in-law and Ren Chu to the study.
When they arrived at the study, Ren Chu handed the account book directly to Murong Shu. Murong Shu was very surprised after reading it carefully. The revenue exceeded her expectations.
"Boss, this is our shop's three-month turnover. You said at the beginning that it would be OK as long as we didn't lose money in the first three months, but in fact, the shop started to make a profit from the second month."
Ren Chu got excited just thinking about it. The boss’ designs were new and Mr. Chu’s craftsmanship was great. The furniture he made was well-loved by the nobles in the capital, so the shop started to make a profit so quickly.
"Very good. You have worked hard. Everyone in the shop has worked hard. Tomorrow night at Fuqilai, I will treat everyone in the shop to a meal. Go back today and inform everyone."
Murong Shu was very happy. She didn't expect that she could make money her first time entering the furniture industry, so she wanted to reward everyone who worked hard.
Whether it was Ren Chu's contribution to the shop or the accounts sorted out by Meng Yun, Murong Shu could see their intentions.
"Then I would like to thank the boss on behalf of everyone. You will definitely be very happy if you know about this." Thinking of the boss's recognition of himself and everyone, Ren Chu felt that all the hard work was worth it.
"Second sister-in-law, remember to ask second brother to come along!" Murong Shu invited both Madam Wen Er and Wen Ye. She would then send someone to ask eldest brother and eldest sister-in-law if they were willing to go.
Ren Chu did not stay in the Wen Mansion for too long. He rushed back to the shop after finishing his report. He wanted to share the good news with everyone. The most important thing was the host's banquet tomorrow night.
Mrs. Wen took a break from her busy schedule to stay and chat with Murong Shu about family matters and shop matters, and they agreed to go to Fuqilai together tomorrow night.
After leaving Murong Shu and Wen Jing's yard, Mrs. Wen went to her eldest sister-in-law's yard and told Mrs. Wen about the situation of the shop and tomorrow's dinner.
Madam Wen seldom went out since she became pregnant, so when she heard that she could go out for dinner, she readily agreed. So when Wen Zhi came back in the evening, Madam Wen directly informed her husband that his brother and sister-in-law would host a banquet the next night and asked them all to go.
Wen Zhi agreed without thinking, and he felt relieved to accompany him. The happiest person was Wen Ye, who followed his wife to eat and drink.
On the second day, Murong Shu and his elder and second sisters-in-law went directly to Fuqilai, while the three brothers of the Wen family went to Fuqilai after they got off work.
After closing time in the shop, Ren Chu took everyone in the shop directly to Fuqilai. Everyone was very excited. Their work was recognized by the boss, and there was a special banquet. It was a great honor for them.
Because Ren Chu and Meng Yun came from a place of good fortune, everyone was very happy to see them come back. When they learned that they were invited to a banquet by the host because of their good work, everyone gave them their best wishes.
Murong Shu asked for the largest private room, which was more than enough to entertain today's guests. Each person had a separate small pot so that everyone would feel less restrained.
Because the host came in person to dine, and several performers came up specially to perform, the atmosphere in the private room upstairs was very good. In order to thank everyone for their efforts, Murong Shu gave everyone a bonus.
Young Master Chu did get a share of the profits. Although Murong Shu did not give any money, he gave great affirmation to Chu Ming, and Chu Ming was deeply moved.
Although it was only three short months, Chu Ming felt extremely proud seeing that everyone liked what he had made.
In the shop, everyone affectionately called him Master Chu, and some customers even came to ask him to make furniture for them. Some people even called him Master Chu in an exaggerated way.
Apart from Chu Ming, Murong Shu was most grateful to Ren Chu and Meng Yun. He gave them big red envelopes and said some encouraging words and expressed his expectations for their future.
The two were very moved. Murong Shu would always be their benefactor. They only recognized Murong Shu in this life. After Murong Shu rescued them from Fengling Pavilion, they swore to be loyal to only their benefactor in this life.
Murong Shu also gave red envelopes to other people in the shop and promised that if the business was good in the next three months, they would get more money. Everyone was instantly excited.
Madam Wen Da and Madam Wen Er have absolute trust in Murong Shu and respect all his decisions. Chu Ming has no objection either. He just wants to make more exquisite things. As for the share of the profits, he believes that Murong Shu will not treat him unfairly.
Everyone was satisfied with the banquet, and Madam Wen was the most satisfied. She got to eat the blessing she had been longing for, and she was in a happy mood until she returned home.
When Ren Chu and Meng Yun returned to their residence and opened the red envelope given by their employer, they were stunned. The amount given by their employer was too much, several times their wages.
What to do when you meet a generous boss? Of course, you work hard to make money for your boss to repay him. So the two people who should have rested did not sleep, but planned for the next three months.
The next day, the two arrived at the shop early, only to find that everyone had arrived earlier than them. They smiled at each other, and then started working.
