Mistakenly recognized as a cousin, thousands of pampered

These words sounded quite different to Shen Zhiyi.

He really couldn't understand why there was a woman like Tao Jiuxi who acted as if they had known each other for a long time even though they had only met a few times.

Moreover, the boldness with which she spoke was beyond imagination. Shen Zhiyi knew that she was very beautiful, but as a woman, shouldn't Tao Jiuxi be more reserved?

Today she gave him a massage, and before that she slept beside his legs and caressed him in his arms. In all these things, she did not treat him as an outsider.

Did she really think of him as her cousin, or was she confessing her feelings to him in disguise?

If it is a confession, it would be too bold to do these actions in public.

If she only treated him as a cousin and was so affectionate with him, then if she really went to the Xie Mansion, where there were many cousins ​​with no blood relationship to her, would she also try to please them in this way? Didn't she know how to keep her distance from others?

When he thought of this, a nameless fire quietly ignited in Shen Zhiyi's heart.

"Don't talk while eating and don't talk while sleeping." Shen Zhiyi's cold voice came, instantly breaking Tao Jiuxi's joy.

Tao Jiuxi, who was originally eating happily, naturally did not notice the change in Shen Zhiyi's facial expression, nor did she know that her words caused countless thoughts to flash through Shen Zhiyi's mind. She only knew that her cousin was mean to her again.

Fortunately, she has a thick skin, like a tough shield.

Moreover, the food on the table was delicious, attracting her like magic.

Since her cousin didn't let her speak, she just started eating.

Tao Qingwan, who was standing by, was like a frightened deer. She could only lower her head and eat silently, not daring to say a word.

Finally, Tao Jiuxi lowered his head and "attacked" the food like a starving calf. It seemed as if he wanted to vent all the grievances and dissatisfaction in his heart through his wolfish eating.

This continued until the end of the meal.

Shen Zhiyi looked at Tao Jiuxi's eating habits, his eyes widened slightly, and his heart was filled with shock.

Is there such a woman in this world who can eat so much?

The next day, sunlight streamed into the room through the window, and Jiang Qu delivered the banknotes as promised.

Tao Jiuxi carefully put away the banknotes, and after Shen Zhiyi left, she couldn't wait to quietly change into men's clothes.

Arriving at Xihou Street, Tao Jiuxi anxiously waited for Li Dachun to reunite. Because she was carrying banknotes, she kept looking around, feeling very nervous, afraid that someone would come and rob her.

After a while, Li Dachun hurried over and the two went to East Street together.

Walking on the bustling streets, Tao Jiuxi felt particularly relaxed.

She looked at the people coming and going and imagined the prosperity of the store in the future.

Finally, they arrived at the store and successfully signed a five-year contract with the shopkeeper.

Tao Jiuxi solemnly pressed his fingerprint on the contract.

"This contract is for five years. If business is booming after three years, I'll give you an additional 10% rent," Tao Jiuxi said confidently, her eyes filled with determination.

After finishing the work, Tao Jiuxi and Li Dachun squatted at the door of the store again.

They looked at the shop in front of them, their hearts filled with emotion.

"Young Master! Now you can rest assured that you have a shop." Li Dachun said excitedly, with a happy smile on his face.

"Now we have a shop." Tao Jiuxi patted Li Dachun's shoulder, his eyes flashing with excitement.

She knew that from now on, they would work hard together for this store.

"From now on you will be my boss. I, Li Dachun, will definitely repay you well." Li Dachun said with tears in his eyes.

He recalled the days when he was in danger of losing his job, being ridiculed and driven away.

Now, he finally found hope and no longer had to live that hard life.

Tao Jiuxi looked at the people coming and going, feeling mixed emotions.

She knows that this road will not be easy, but she is confident in meeting the challenge.

After a while, Tao Jiuxi asked Li Dachun to bring paper and pen and began to explain what he needed to do.

"Find a few skilled craftsmen and decorate the shop as soon as possible. The style of the shop will be given to you in the next two days. Then find some assistants for the store. Such a big shop will need at least fifteen people. Those with decent looks will be responsible for serving in the front hall. If they are older, teach them to make pastries." Tao Jiuxi said as he wrote down his ideas on paper.

"Boss, if we teach all the pastry-making skills to others, what if the employees learn them and then go to work for other families?" Li Dachun asked worriedly.

"Find eight people who are skilled in their hands, and teach each of them a process. Each of them will do their job and complete their own process. This way the production process will be very fast. But everyone also needs to be familiar with the process of the person behind them." Tao Jiuxi was drawing numbers on the paper with a pen, but Li Dachun couldn't understand it.

"The monthly salary for each person is 1 tael of silver. Not to mention that there is no such salary outside, even if there is, can other shopkeepers poach all eight people at once?" Tao Jiuxi said confidently.

"The boss is right." Li Dachun nodded.

"And Brother Li, you don't need to worry too much. Once our pastries become popular, others will rush to learn how to make them. In a few days, the same style will be available." Tao Jiuxi said with a smile.

After hearing this, Li Dachun looked a little anxious.

"I've told you all, don't worry. What I sell is not only the quality of the pastries, but also the brand of the pastries. I want everyone to think of our store first when they think of pastries. It must have characteristics and brand effect, do you understand?" Tao Jiuxi explained patiently.

"I understand. But I don't quite understand." Li Dachun scratched his head, looking confused.

Tao Jiuxi thought to himself that it was normal not to understand.

In fact, Li Dachun is not a particularly good businessman, but he is indeed a useful talent.

The fact that he didn't just disappear with the money was a testament to Li Dachun's foresight. Later, whenever he made pastries, Li Dachun was incredibly attentive, always learning the things Tao Jiuxi asked him to improve. Tao Jiuxi found working with Li Dachun incredibly easy.

"Just do as I say. Find some skilled people and remember to test their skills first. If they don't work, remember to give them ten cents to avoid wasting their trip." Tao Jiuxi explained carefully with a serious look.

"Okay, I have two nieces, one is fifteen and the other is thirteen. Our family is a little poor, but they are very smart and they even went to school in the village for a few days. Can we ask them to come and work?" Li Dachun asked tentatively, with a little lack of confidence in his tone. He was afraid that Tao Jiuxi would think that he was nepotism.

He lowered his head slightly, his eyes revealing a hint of nervousness and anticipation.

Unexpectedly, the boss agreed immediately.

"That's great. It's good to have a few people you trust in the store." Tao Jiuxi said with a smile, his eyes full of encouragement.

Li Dachun was very happy. Now his brother's family didn't have to sell his two nieces to marry for money.

"Thank you, boss." Li Dachun said gratefully, his voice trembling slightly.

"Please ask them to come tomorrow. As long as they work hard, you will get their wages tomorrow." Tao Jiuxi said decisively.

"Tomorrow?" Li Dachun widened his eyes, his face full of surprise.

He had never seen such a boss before, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.

"The same goes for you. Although the shop hasn't opened yet, you've been busy and working hard."

Tao Jiuxi attaches great importance to money, but she also knows that only sufficient remuneration can achieve the results she wants.

How much money you pay, and how much effort they will put in. She raised her chin slightly, her eyes revealing determination.

Tao Jiuxi explained some more things and then hurried back home.

As she walked, she was thinking in her mind that she had to go back home and change back into women's clothes before her cousin found out.
