After I got into the drama, I led the plot astray

I slapped him on the head and said, "If you don't study hard, I promise to make you worry. Do you believe it?"

Jinping touched his head and said, "I was just happy in my heart. I didn't say I didn't study hard. Why did you hit me? Besides, I'm your eldest brother. Don't be disrespectful and hit me for no reason."

I sneered and said, "Beating you is a small matter. If you continue to eat, drink and have fun like before, I will kick you out and make you a beggar."

When Jinping heard this, he was sad and wanted to find an ally to comfort himself. He looked at Yiping, but before he could even say "Third sister", Yiping rolled his eyes at him and said, "Second brother is right. If you don't make progress, I will kick you out and make you have to fend for yourself. I won't give you a penny from the family."

When Jinping heard this, his heart broke. He let out an "Ah" and shrank to the side. Yingchun looked at him from the side, pursing her lips and laughing secretly.

Not long after, the shopkeeper came in with a few assistants. After bowing to me, he said, "Sir, there used to be twenty assistants in the store. Due to poor business, only eight are back on duty now. The other twelve are off duty at home. There are seven assistants on duty today. One was blind and was sent away by me. I will bring the remaining six to recognize their master."

There were only six people who walked in, and maybe one was on duty outside.

These guys came up to me one by one, and I asked them a few simple questions. Their attitudes were much better than that of the guy who was looking for death just now, and they seemed to be more honest and hardworking.

After asking, I said to the shopkeeper, "These guys are pretty good, let's keep them for now."

The shopkeeper nodded happily and said, "Yes, sir. I will give you the employment documents and account books of these people later."

I nodded and said, "I've been here for so long, but I still haven't asked the shopkeeper's name?"

The shopkeeper quickly said, "I don't deserve the surname Gao. My surname is Chen, and my given name is Wan."

As he was speaking, a voice came from outside the door: "Sir, Shopkeeper Chen and Shopkeeper Bai are here."

Chen Wan hurriedly went out to greet them, and soon Chen Wan came in with a very beautiful woman who was about twenty years old.

The woman walked up to me, bowed to me, and said, "Bai Yinyin greets the master. I wish the master good health and a long life."

Bai Yinyin spoke as if she was wishing a birthday to an elder. I said awkwardly, "Shopkeeper Bai, there's no need to be polite. Please take a seat."

Bai Yinyin is full of charm, and there is an indescribable charm in her every move. Moreover, she has been working in a cosmetics shop for many years, so there is always a faint fragrance on her body, which is very pleasant.

Zheng Xian does have some ability in selecting people, otherwise his business wouldn’t have grown so big.

Bai Yinyin didn't act pretentiously. She sat opposite me openly and let me look at her.

The waiter served us tea and brought some snacks. Since I had Yingchun serving me, she was the one who poured the tea and served water, so the others had to fend for themselves.

Bai Yinyin glanced at Yingchun inconspicuously. It was easy to distinguish between palace maids and ordinary servants. Bai Yinyin smiled and said, "What's the name of the new master?"

Chen Wan also stretched his neck to look at me and chatted with me for a long time, but he still didn't know who I was.

I said, "My last name is Zhao, my given name is Man, you can call me Second Young Master."

I don’t want to say more about the rest.

Bai Yinyin has been in the women's business for so many years, dealing with women all day long. As soon as she came in, she saw that I was a woman, but she didn't point it out. She still smiled and said, "Yes, Second Young Master. I came in a hurry and failed to prepare a big gift. These bottles are the best-selling products in the store. Yinyin bought them for Second Young Master. Please take them back and try them out and give me some advice."

Bai Yinyin speaks appropriately, generously and tactfully. She can attack or defend. She is truly a business talent!

After Bai Yinyin finished speaking, she took out a few porcelain bottles from her sleeves and placed them on the table.

I took it and looked at it. There were facial cream, lip balm, and foundation, four or five kinds of things. I opened each one and smelled it. The smell was fresh and not greasy. It was indeed a pure natural high-end skin care product.

I nodded and said, "The prices of these products should be quite high, right?"

Bai Yinyin smiled and said, "The thing that the capital city lacks the least is wealthy ladies. As long as the product is good, they are willing to spend any amount of money. The price of these bottles is only a few hundred taels of silver."

Just a few hundred taels of silver...

I think poverty limits my imagination.

This small porcelain bottle only has a capacity of a few dozen grams at most, but it is sold for more than one hundred taels of silver. It seems that women in the capital are all rich and stupid.

Seeing that I didn't say anything, Bai Yinyin continued, "Second Young Master, the revenue from the past few months has been saved and compiled into a book. It can be sent to you at any time."

After Bai Yinyin finished speaking, she took out a passbook and a personal seal from her sleeve and handed them to me, saying, "This is the profit of the store in the past few months. I have deposited the money in the bank. This is the passbook seal. Please check it, Second Young Master."

I took it, opened it, and my mouth almost opened wide.

In just a few months, the profit reached over 800,000 yuan, which is comparable to Xingyaoxuan in terms of money-making ability.

Thinking that I had almost two million taels of silver in my hands, my hands were shaking a little.

I put the two passbooks and the seal together, calmed down a bit and said, "Thank you for your hard work. I would like to invite you to Wangyue Tower tomorrow to have a good chat. Please don't refuse."

Bai Yinyin and Chen Wan said quickly, "How can we refuse the invitation from the Second Young Master? We will be there on time tomorrow."

I put the passbook and seal into my sleeve, stood up, and said, "It's getting late, and we're in a hurry to leave the city. I'm sorry to trouble you two with the store. I may be busy, so the store will be managed by my third sister Yi Ping. I hope you treat her as seriously as you treat His Majesty. If I find out that you are cheating or fooling my third sister, don't blame me for reporting you to His Majesty."

Bai Yinyin and Chen Wan looked at each other, then stood up quickly and said, "Please rest assured, Second Young Master, we will both swear to be loyal to you until death, and we will never have second thoughts."

I nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good. To be honest, I am also very satisfied with you two. By the way, my family is planning to hire a housekeeper. Do you have any suitable candidates to recommend?"

Chen Wan looked at Bai Yinyin and said, "Manager Bai has many connections and knows many people. It's right to find her."

Bai Yinyin smiled and said, "I can't stand this compliment from Manager Chen, but I can find one for the Second Young Master. What are his requirements?"

I said, "You must have strong management skills, be able to keep count and account, and have a clear breakdown of your monthly income and expenditure. You must be a reliable person and not embezzle or deceive your superiors or subordinates."

Bai Yinyin looked at me with some embarrassment and said, "Even the requirements for hiring a vice minister of the Ministry of Revenue are not as high as those for the second young master."

"Hmm?" I snorted.

Bai Yinyin said quickly: "But please rest assured, Second Young Master, I will definitely find a suitable candidate for you."
