After being married off, she was favored by the powerful official

Huo Sichen thought that Gu Jin would praise him for his integrity or cleverness, but he never expected to get the evaluation of "young and handsome".

How should I put it? This kind of praise not only failed to make him more confident, but instead made him feel like he was being teased.

If he had been brave enough to ask the question in his heart, Gu Jin would have told him, "This is not your illusion, I am just teasing you!"

"Is there anyone in the restaurant who you think has good character and ability?"

Before Huo Sichen could recover from his shock, Gu Jin jumped into the next topic.

Huo Sichen thought for a moment, "Uncle Liu, the night watchman, Xiao Wu, the odd job..."

Huo Sichen mentioned a few names, Gu Jin nodded, and said, "Then go and keep them."

Hearing that everyone could stay, Huo Sichen's eyes flashed with surprise, "Really?"

"If you don't keep them, does that mean you, as the shopkeeper, will have to do everything by yourself in the future?" Gu Jin gave Huo Sichen the first business training class in his life.

"Businessmen must have both tact and the ability to win people's hearts. Right now they are worried about their future, and you happen to extend an olive branch to them. They will remember your kindness and will cooperate with you in the future."

The cancer like Qian the Shopkeeper and Wu Er must be removed, and keeping these people who know her background and have good character can also prevent her from recruiting more people.

"Madam, thank you." Huo Sichen looked at Gu Jin with burning eyes, his eyes filled with genuine gratitude.

They were all ordinary people at the bottom of society, relying on these meager salaries to support their families. Gu Jin's keeping them was equivalent to giving them a way out.

Gu Jin frowned upon hearing this, "Call me by your name, don't always call me Young Madam. It feels like you're calling me someone of a lower generation than me."

"What should I call you then?"

"Just call me sister!" Gu Jin pursed her lips, a hint of smile in her upturned peach blossom eyes.

Huo Sichen's face suddenly turned red, but seeing that Gu Jin was looking at him and it didn't seem like a joke, he hesitated for a long time and could only stammer and call out softly, "Sister."

"Hey! So good!" Gu Jin rubbed his head contentedly, "Go do your work!"

The handsome boy in the development department is really good!

Duobao was stunned watching from the side. She wanted to say that although Huo Sichen looked short, he was thirteen years old, and Gu Jin's behavior violated the rules of gender.

But then he thought, wouldn't it be better if he could remind her of something and let the Third Young Master hear it later?

"Young Madam." Duobao called softly.

"Hmm?" Gu Jin was in a very good mood and even hummed a little tune.

"Madam, Huo Sichen is too young. I am worried that he will not be able to manage the restaurant business well.

My elder brother has also been working in the Bo's Mansion. Isn't he more reliable? If you don't mind, Madam, can you let him come and help you run the restaurant?"

Gu Jin glanced at her and asked calmly, "How old is your brother?"

"Twenty-seven."

Gu Jin curled his lips in disdain, "Too old, no no!"

Duobao gritted her teeth in hatred. She would rather give away the twenty taels a month to outsiders than give it to her brother. This bitch is so hateful!

But Duobao was reluctant to give up the lucrative job in the restaurant, and said unwillingly: "Even if I don't become the shopkeeper, let my brother do some other jobs.

I have been with the young lady for so many years, and my brother is of the same mind as her. He can help her with everything, big or small, so she can rest assured."

Gu Jin seemed a little moved, "So how is your brother?"

Duobao quickly smiled and said, "Although I can't say he's handsome, he has a nice face. We look alike."

"Then forget it."

Duobao: "..."

What does Gu Jin mean? Is he saying that she is ugly?

How can a person be so mean!

How could Gu Jin not see through Duobao's little thoughts? She had finally driven away Manager Qian and his group, so how could she add another hidden danger?

When Gu Jin arrived at the front hall, Manager Qian and his group were walking out with their luggage on their backs. When they passed by Gu Jin, their eyes were vicious and resentful.

"Young Madam is so heartless!"

Huo Sichen was about to step forward to speak for Gu Jin, but Gu Jin rolled his eyes and said nonchalantly, "If you don't leave now, I'm going to get the wages I paid you back!"

Although Gu Jin is stingy, she has principles. No matter what intentions these people have, she will pay them a day's wages for a day's work for the restaurant.

When Wu Er and his companions heard this, they rolled up their bedding and ran away. They even ran so fast that they knocked Manager Qian around in a circle.

Shopkeeper Qian was so angry that he trembled all over and walked away cursing.

"Sister...it's obvious that they are not doing their job seriously, and you still paid them. They are clearly slandering you." Huo Sichen stood up for Gu Jin and felt that he should sort things out with them.

Although this sister seems a little frivolous and unreliable, she has a good heart.

"It is precisely because I know they are slandering me that there is no need to waste my breath on them."

Manager Qian said that she was cold-blooded and heartless just because he wanted her to change her mind and stay with them. If she wanted to prove that she was not, she could only go along with their wishes. This was the so-called self-proof trap.

If she wasn't afraid of corrupting the flowers of the motherland, she would definitely let Manager Qian experience firsthand what true cold-bloodedness means.

"I will go back and study the business plan. During this period, the restaurant will be handed over to you to clean. The wages will be the same as before. After the restaurant officially opens, I will give each of you a red envelope with five taels of silver."

Everyone was overwhelmed by the unexpected joy, and it was only after Huo Sichen reminded them that they remembered to thank En.

"Sister doesn't like being called Madam, so from now on you should call her Master."

"Yes! Thank you, Boss!"

Huo Sichen's eyes were bright. Although he was still wearing the gray clothes, his whole body was like a pearl that had been wiped clean of dust, revealing a bright and shining light.

Gu Jin felt very relieved and explained things to everyone before getting on the carriage and leaving.

"Madam, are we going to the next shop?" Ruyi felt that it was very interesting to follow Gu Jin in managing the shop. It was much more lively than the mansion.

"I'm not going today. I'm a little tired." After saying that, Gu Jin lay down lazily against the carriage, only glancing at Duobao from the corner of his eye.

As soon as she returned home, Duobao said that she was feeling a little unwell. Gu Jin seemed unaware and allowed her to go back to her room to rest. However, Duobao took advantage of the situation and quietly went to Gu Rou's Qingliu Courtyard.

Gu Jin was flipping through the restaurant's account book, intending to check it, but she felt dizzy and was so angry that she threw the account book away.

Xie Ran just came back from outside. He raised his hand to take the account book, flipped through a few pages, and smiled softly, "Why did you throw the account book away?"

"It's too difficult. I can't understand it at all." The original owner was an unlearned person, and Gu Jin was even less familiar with the ancient accounting method.

"It turns out that there are things in the world that Madam cannot do." Xie Ran was used to seeing Gu Jin's boldness and fearlessness, but this was the first time he saw her helpless.

Seeing Gu Jinsheng lying there helplessly, Xie Ran found it a little funny. "Can I help you take a look?"

Gu Jin raised her hand weakly, and seeing that she agreed, Xie Ran slowly flipped through the account book.

Gu Jin originally thought that he was just taking a casual look, but unexpectedly, he pointed out several problems so quickly.

Gu Jin sat up from the couch in shock, "You figured it out without even turning the abacus?"

Xie Ran just smiled without saying anything, his gentle features revealing a calmness and indifference that came from his cultural heritage. At this moment, Gu Jin truly understood how outstanding the young masters raised by those aristocratic families in history books were.

"If you don't mind, Madam, I can teach you how to do the accounting."

"Come, husband, take a seat!" Gu Jin immediately helped Xie Ran to sit down, his eyes full of thirst for knowledge.

But now Xie Ran has seen through her. She learns accounting only to make money. If she were taught poetry and songs, she would definitely run faster than anyone else.

"Madam, Aunt Xu is outside asking to see you."

Gu Jin was eager to recruit talented people, so he had no time to see any concubine. He said impatiently, "No, no, just say I'm asleep!"

Aunt Xu outside: "..." Could you please speak a little more quietly?

Fortunately, she was prepared.

Ruyi pursed her lips and continued, "Mrs. Xu asked me to bring you a message. She said she has specially prepared a generous gift to pay her respects to the young mistress' new bride."

"How can you do things like this, girl? Why don't you invite Auntie in? How can you let her wait outside?"

As one wishes:"……"

Xie Ran: “…”

Aunt Xu: “…”
