The mistress died of overwork, and after rebirth, she was bad at raising her cubs

Huo Jingyi was still worried about being looked down upon when she was away from home.

So at this moment he sat upright, like a porcelain doll.

Hearing Shen Qinglan's question, Huo Jingyi immediately stole a glance at Shopkeeper Pei and said proudly:

"I know a thing or two."

"Then Yi'er, please take a look at the account book for your mother."

"it is good!"

Huo Jingyi's eyes lit up and she agreed happily.

Her mother must value her since she can entrust her with such an important task!

When Shopkeeper Pei saw this scene, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he looked down on the person even more.

How can a child understand this account book?

It seems that this Princess Zhan is not as smart as others say, right?

Not only can he not read the account book himself, but he also gives it to his children to play with.

Shen Qinglan naturally saw the hint of contempt that flashed across Manager Pei's eyes.

But Shen Qinglan didn't care. Instead, she smiled at Shopkeeper Pei and asked like she was chatting with a parent:

"How many years has Uncle Pei been working in our Linglong Pavilion?"

"This... In another month it will be ten years."

"Ten years? That's a long time. Uncle Pei has managed Linglong Pavilion so well, which shows that he really cares about it. Mother really didn't make a mistake in choosing him back then."

Shen Qinglan was born beautiful and of noble status, so the compliments made Shopkeeper Pei feel a little flattered.

Shopkeeper Pei tried his best to suppress the corners of his mouth, but his slightly curved eyebrows still revealed his joy.

"I am not as good as you say, Princess. I am just doing my job well."

Shen Qinglan kept praising Manager Pei.

The more Manager Pei was praised, the better his mood became. In the end, he could only smile foolishly and wave his hands, which was quite funny to watch.

Shuyu and Shuwen looked at their young lady praising Manager Pei crazily, as if they were looking at a fox.

The already arrogant Shopkeeper Pei is more like a prey that has fallen into a trap. Not only is he unaware of it, he seems to be complacent about it.

While Huo Jingyi was looking at the account book, Shen Qinglan chatted with Manager Pei about all sorts of things.

At the end of the conversation, Shopkeeper Pei looked at Shen Qinglan as if he had met a soulmate, and his words became more sincere.

Seeing that it was almost done, Shen Qinglan couldn't help but sigh.

Seeing this, Shopkeeper Pei subconsciously asked, "Princess, why are you sighing suddenly? Are you feeling unwell?"

Shen Qinglan shook his head, and hesitated for a moment before speaking with a look of disappointment:

“I’ve been to all the shops in the palace these past two days, and it’s you, Uncle Pei, who’s the last one to show off!”

"The clerks at Linglong Pavilion that you are in charge of look well-behaved, unlike the clerks at other shops, who are simply unbecoming."

When Shopkeeper Pei heard Shen Qinglan praising him, he was in a good mood and subconsciously said:

"Of course. The other shopkeepers are all busy taking advantage of opportunities. They are not like me, who is serious about doing business and teaching his employees."

Shen Qinglan nodded slightly, looking very agreeable, and then said indignantly:

"That's right. The shop assistants should all come to Linglongfang and learn from Shopkeeper Pei!"

When Shopkeeper Pei heard this, he straightened his back and said proudly:

"If that's the case, I will definitely make sure those guys are as well-behaved and hardworking as the guys at Linglongfang."

When Shen Qinglan heard this, she stood up excitedly, looked at Shopkeeper Pei and bowed slightly, with a grateful look on her face:

"Manager Pei is truly righteous! It's settled then. Starting tomorrow, I will transfer the shop assistants from other shops to Linglongfang. Manager Pei must help me teach them well!"

Ren Donglai, who was standing by, heard this and understood Shen Qinglan's intention. He immediately agreed and said with some concern:

"But Linglongfang can't accommodate so many employees, right?"

Shen Qinglan waved his hand and said indifferently:

"How difficult is that? Since the employees at Linglongfang behave themselves, we can just transfer them to other shops."

"What the princess said is very true. This is a very good plan. I don't think Manager Pei will refuse it." Ren Donglai echoed and continued.

"what?"

Shopkeeper Pei listened to Shen Qinglan and Ren Donglai singing the same tune and was completely unable to react!

He couldn't help but look at Shen Qinglan subconsciously, not understanding. Wasn't he just praising him?

Why were all his people suddenly transferred away?

Shen Qinglan pretended not to see the confusion in Shopkeeper Pei's eyes, and instead said with a look of emotion and touching:

"Uncle Pei is indeed a real relative of ours. The only one we can count on in Prince Zhan's Mansion is Uncle Pei."

"So, you're counting on me?"

Shopkeeper Pei nodded in confusion, but Shen Qinglan didn't say any more nonsense. He said goodbye and left Linglongfang with satisfaction.

Huo Jingyi was still holding the account book in which she had not yet learned all the words. Upon hearing this, she hurriedly followed Shen Qinglan with the account book in her arms, like a little tail.

When she ran to the door, Huo Jingyi seemed to have thought of something, and turned back to Shopkeeper Pei and said in a baby voice:

"Goodbye, uncle. I will return the account book to you after Yi'er has finished reading it."

"..."

Pay it back after reading it? You should get the account book straight first!

After Shen Qinglan and others left, Shopkeeper Pei had not yet come to his senses.

The waiter at the side could not help but step forward and called out to Shopkeeper Pei a few times in a low voice. When Shopkeeper Pei turned around, he asked:

"Shopkeeper, what do you think the princess wants to do? For no reason, she transferred us away and transferred people from other shops here..."

How would Shopkeeper Pei know why?

However, thinking of what Shen Qinglan had just said to praise him, Shopkeeper Pei couldn't help but say:

"Perhaps, the princess really thinks I am very capable?"

The waiters glanced at Shopkeeper Pei and the corners of their mouths twitched.

What ability can the boss of his own business have?

If someone is really capable, the patterns of the jewelry in Linglong Pavilion would have been updated long ago. Why would they still be using the styles from twenty years ago?

However, for these guys, it’s just a matter of changing the place of work and the wages will still be paid, so it doesn’t matter.

Shopkeeper Pei thought the same. Even if he changed a group of clerks, it would not hinder him at all. He was a man who worked seriously!

This Princess Zhan was probably just in a spur of the moment mood. She had just taken charge of the household affairs and wanted to do something. Anyway, since she caused some trouble, she could at least give an explanation to the old Princess Zhan, right?

Shopkeeper Pei thought so and immediately ignored it. Instead, he told the staff:

"No matter what, since you are going to another shop, don't embarrass me and work hard, okay?"

How much does Princess Zhan trust him? If his people are transferred there, will it embarrass Princess Zhan?

That is absolutely not possible!

Princess Zhan said that they are real relatives!

Shopkeeper Pei was still feeling a little elated as he thought about the compliments Shen Qinglan had just given him, and he couldn't even close his mouth with joy.

After Shen Qinglan got on the carriage, Ren Donglai asked with amusement through the curtain:

"What do you think of this Shopkeeper Pei?"

Shen Qinglan glanced at the account book that Huo Jingyi was looking through and said with a smile:

"They are good at maintaining the business, but lack innovation."

As soon as Shen Qinglan entered the shop, he saw the jewelry displayed in the shop.

The style is old-fashioned, and not even close to what is fashionable nowadays.

Shen Qinglan even suspected that Manager Pei had not changed the styles of the jewelry since he came to the shop.

It's natural that business is bad.

Ren Donglai heard this and asked with some confusion:

"Since the princess thinks that there is no problem with Shopkeeper Pei, why did she transfer his assistant away?"
