Xu Yuehuai's mind was always on important matters—
Now that Zhao Yinfang is in charge of the bartering, she has nothing to worry about. All she needs to do next is manage the Tianxianglou branch well and find a few apprentices.
Thinking about these things actually gave her a headache.
Now that he was in the Dark Moon, it was not like the Central Plains. He had to be mindful of others' opinions and be controlled by them. This feeling made Xu Yuehuai very uncomfortable, but he had no choice but to accept it.
Her previous success in the Central Plains was due to the help of Qi Guze and the Duke of Zhenguo. Now, relying solely on herself, she suddenly felt a heavy burden on her shoulders.
Despite the weight of the matter, Xu Yuehuai still drafted a notice, as those who volunteered themselves were always somewhat better off.
After drafting it, she read it carefully again to make sure it was correct before posting it. After all, if someone used any of the clauses in the notice to make a fuss, her already dizzy head would only become even more dizzy.
After confirming several times, Xu Yuehua nodded in satisfaction, took the paste and brush and went outside. Just as she was about to post the notice, Manager He suddenly appeared at the door.
"Manager Xu..." he called out, seemingly aggravating his injuries, but he swallowed the groan he was about to utter. After all, his purpose in coming today was to apologize, so it was best to keep a humble attitude.
Xu Yuehuai immediately put down what she was holding and hurriedly went to greet him: "Manager He, why are you up? Is there anything else that's bothering you? Should we call a doctor to take a look?"
"No need, no need." He waved his hand, a hint of embarrassment on his face. Xu Yuehuai didn't know why he looked embarrassed. Just as she was wondering, she heard the second half of Manager He's sentence and then she understood. "Miss Xu, did I delay your business yesterday because I was resting? Why didn't I see you open the door?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Yuehuai quickly comforted him: "Manager He, I had some urgent business to attend to, that's why I didn't open the door. Don't think the worst of it."
After hearing this, Manager He was still filled with self-reproach, sighing and lamenting that he had ruined Tianxianglou's business.
"I'm much better now, I should go back. Otherwise, I'll keep troubling you, and I really feel bad about it..." The shopkeeper sighed and prepared to leave.
Seeing this, Xu Yuehuai quickly stepped forward to stop Manager He, and said with a burning gaze, "Manager He, I really have other things to do. Please don't overthink it. Just stay here and recover from your injuries. Otherwise, what else is there to talk about but wishful thinking?"
Manager He looked up at Xu Yuehuai and found that she did look very tired. He didn't know if it was her eyes or her last words that had an effect, but his heart finally settled down.
"Thank you then, Manager Xu. You should take care of yourself and get some rest, otherwise all our discussions will just be wishful thinking." After he finished speaking, he turned and went back to his room. Xu Yuehuai wanted to go forward to help him, but Manager He waved his hand and said it was not necessary.
Xu Yuehuai relaxed a little, stretched, and then busied herself writing recruitment notices.
When Zhou Wan came down, she saw Xu Yuehuai squatting to one side, writing and thinking at the same time, so she quickly came over to help.
"Ah Yue, let me help you." Zhou Wan said as she walked over, though she looked somewhat displeased.
Xu Yuehuai glanced at her and noticed her depressed expression. She quickly stopped what she was doing and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Ugh, don't even mention it. Zhang Ting is chasing after me every day, it's so annoying." Zhou Wan said, looking utterly exhausted.
Seeing this, Xu Yuehuai quickly helped her sit down and comforted her, saying, "You've really suffered."
"Ah Yue, I really want to find a place to hide from her," Zhou Wan said with a sigh.
Xu Yuehuai's eyes lit up; she had a way to help Zhou Wan get rid of Zhang Ting, that troublesome girl.
“Zhou Wan, actually I have an idea that can free you from this.” Xu Yuehuai said, looking at Zhou Wan.
Zhou Wan became increasingly excited: "Really? A-Yue, what's the plan?"
“Just expose the woodcutter as Qi Guze in front of her, and you'll have peace of mind,” Xu Yuehuai said, taking a deep breath.
Zhou Wan quickly shook her head upon hearing this: "No, no, we can't do that."
Although she was annoyed by Zhang Ting, she figured it was better to keep bothering Qi Guze than to expose him and let Zhang Ting keep bothering him.
She secretly hoped that Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze would be together and love each other, so how could she let Zhang Ting into the picture?
Just as Xu Yuehuai was about to continue speaking, Zhou Wan interrupted her: "Ayue, I understand what you're saying, but it's better for her to continue harming me than to let her go and cause trouble for Qi Guze."
As Zhou Wan spoke, it seemed she had made up her mind; her face was no longer gloomy, but much more determined.
Xu Yuehuai was deeply moved after hearing this, and she even had tears in her eyes.
Seeing this, Zhou Wan quickly grabbed her hand. After all, they had known each other for a long time and understood each other's hardships.
"Zhou Wan, thank you." Xu Yuehuai couldn't help but express her gratitude, but at the same time she reminded her, "I think it's only a matter of time before Qi Guze's identity is revealed, and it can't be kept from Zhang Ting."
"Then let's wait until we can't hide it anymore," Zhou Wan quickly interjected, indicating that she shouldn't worry.
After saying that, he left Tianxiang Tower again.
After all, with the little princess and two grown men all with Zhang Ting, it's inevitable that some trouble will arise.
After everyone left, Xu Yuehuai looked at the lobby, which still had no one entering, and fell into deep thought. What was going on today?
Although her Tianxiang Restaurant had only been open for a short time, it had always been packed with customers thanks to her skilled craftsmen. But today it was completely empty, which clearly indicated something fishy was going on.
She thought for a moment, then craned her neck to look outside.
But there was no one outside.
Now she was even more suspicious and decided to find a place to investigate later.
She immediately closed the door of Tianxiang Tower and went out.
No matter where she went, there was no one there. She didn't know how long she walked before she finally saw an old woman lying by the roadside, grimacing in pain.
Xu Yuehuai looked around and, seeing that there was no one around, hesitated.
Although she suffered greatly from "insurance fraud" in the 21st century, this is many years ago now, so it's unlikely that there would be any "insurance fraud" now.
She hesitated for a moment, but still decided to step forward.
"Auntie, what's wrong?" Xu Yuehuai asked, but did not touch the old woman below. After all, one should not have the heart to harm others, but one should not be without the heart to guard against others.
"Miss... young lady, please help me up. I fell and can't get up on my own. I hope you can take me in for a while." The old woman said as she lay down on the ground, but her tone didn't sound like someone who had just fallen, and her words were quite offensive.
