Chapter 456 Yu Zhen's Feelings
Gu Yuanniang also smiled slightly.
Yu Zhen was dumbfounded when he saw Gu Yuanniang's smile. He stared at her and couldn't take his eyes off her. Xu Miaomiao looked at them and smiled. She explained, "This is Gu Yuanniang. You can just call her Liu Niang. We opened this department store together. Liu Niang is the best at making wine. Most of the wine in this department store comes from her recipes."
"No wonder. I said before that the wine in our department store has a special and mellow taste. So how did Madam Gu brew it?"
Yu Zhen immediately spoke up to flatter him.
Gu Yuanniang didn't pay much attention to him. Instead, she warned the two of them and said, "You two are now the supervisors here. You need to be careful in the future. The department store is different from other stores. Because we women run the store, we target many people. We must be comprehensive so that others will not find trouble or faults."
When Yu Zhen and Yu Jie heard this, they looked at each other and nodded. Then they looked at Gu Yuanniang and said, "Madam Gu, don't worry. Madam Xu has explained these things to us in detail. If we were indeed a little careless before, Madam Xu has been calling us these days, and we have learned a lot from it. We will definitely not let those mistakes happen again in the future."
Listening to what they said, Gu Yuanniang nodded and said, "Okay, I have been staying at home for a long time before. It's a rare opportunity for me to come to the shop, so I will take a good look around here. You don't have to worry about me."
As Gu Yuanniang spoke, she walked straight into the store. Xu Miaomiao was relieved to see that she had finally let go of her worries.
As soon as Gu Yuanniang left, Yu Zhen pulled Xu Miaomiao to a corner. Xu Miaomiao looked at his sneaky appearance and thought he was holding back, so she took the initiative to say, "Why, haven't you suffered enough from the losses you suffered before? Are you still thinking of some bad ideas?"
Seeing Xu Miaomiao's look, Yu Zhen immediately shook his head and said helplessly, "Madam Xu, you really misunderstood me. I asked you to come here for another matter."
Yu Zhen blushed when he said this. Xu Miaomiao looked at him with some confusion. She followed his gaze and saw the place where Gu Yuanniang had just left. She guessed about 70% of the situation. Seeing this, Xu Miaomiao took the initiative to ask, "Do you want to ask Liu Niang?"
When Yu Zhen heard this, he immediately nodded excitedly, his ears turned red, and he was too shy to let anyone look at him directly.
Yu Zhen hesitated for a long time and didn't say a word. Seeing this, Xu Miaomiao laughed and said, "No matter what you want to ask, I think it's better for you to ask Liu Niang. I can't tell you these things."
As Xu Miaomiao spoke, she turned and left. Seeing Xu Miaomiao like this, Yu Zhen could only sigh: "Madam Xu, just tell me."
Yu Zhen wanted to ask Xu Miaomiao more about Gu Yuanniang, but Xu Miaomiao remained tight-lipped and refused to say anything. Seeing this, Yu Zhen had to give up.
When Gu Yuanniang was carrying wine in the back room, Yu Zhen went over to help. When the accounts were being settled at the front desk, Yu Zhen was tidying up the account books on the side. Anyone with a discerning eye could see what he was thinking.
It’s a pity that Gu Yuan’s mother is still in a daze.
After spending almost a month together, Yu Zhen still couldn't tell her feelings for him. Seeing this, Xu Miaomiao was also in the carriage. She looked at Gu Yuanniang unwillingly and said, "We have been back for almost half a year now, and you have been busy in the store for almost a month. How are you? Yu Zhen and Yu Jie are pretty reliable."
Gu Yuanniang nodded heavily after hearing what Xu Miaomiao said. She analyzed and said, "Yu Jie is calm, careful, and organized, but too conventional. Such a person is not flexible. Yu Zhen is flexible, but unfortunately he is reckless. If he can restrain his personality, the two of them can work together. However, the department store is also a small store. Now that they are here, I believe there won't be too many problems."
Xu Miaomiao nodded after listening to Gu Yuanniang's analysis, and then slowly said, "I don't want to ask you this, but Mr. Xu, have you ever..."
Xu Miaomiao stopped talking here. Gu Yuanniang naturally understood what she meant. Her face, which was quite excited just now, suddenly became gloomy. She shook her head at Xu Miaomiao. It had been a month since what happened that night, and she had not spoken a word to Xu Qingshan. Xu Qingshan must have been tired of her and annoyed with her and didn't want to say a word to him anymore. But Liu Juan in the mansion was getting plump day by day. She could just give an order to the kitchen whatever she wanted to eat or drink, and no one dared to disobey her. She was showing off her power and even acting like a master.
But Xu Miaomiao was too lazy to say anything. After all, she was greedy and ate a little, and her family could still afford to feed her.
Seeing that Gu Yuanniang lowered her head, Xu Miaomiao took the initiative to speak: "Yu Zhen, although Manghu was impulsive and had made mistakes before, he is still a good person, relatively reliable and down-to-earth. Moreover, his family relationship is simple. Apart from a brother and sister-in-law, there is nothing else. I think he is serious about the relationship." I
When Gu Yuanniang heard this, she looked at Xu Miaomiao and said, "Why are you suddenly talking to me about Yu Zhen? Why do you have hidden meanings in your words?"
Xu Miaomiao sighed and said, "Now that your relationship with Xu Qingshan is lukewarm, why don't you find yourself a new employer? I think Yu Zhen is a good guy and he is very considerate to you. Besides, Yu Zhen has been in my shop for such a long time, and I have naturally observed his character. There is absolutely no problem with him. Otherwise, he will be fine."
"Stop, stop." Upon hearing this, Gu Yuanniang immediately touched Xu Miaomiao, glanced at her, and said, "Let's not talk about other things first. Just look at the age difference between Yu Zheng and me. I'm almost ten years older than him. How can I be with him? Wouldn't that mess up the generations?"
"What's the big deal?" Xu Miaomiao heard this and said, "There are old princes in their seventies or eighties who take young girls of sixteen or seventeen as concubines. You are only less than ten years older, so why not?"
Xu Miaomiao immediately retorted, Gu Yuanniang said, why, it is natural for men to be with young girls, but women who just find someone younger than themselves should feel ashamed and bury this feeling between their lips and teeth?
