A red apricot is about to cheat on you

Then, Yi Duoer felt that her majesty seemed to be a bit too much, so she turned slightly sideways and asked the middle-aged factory director in a low voice:

"How much silver do we have in our workshop's account now?" the factory director replied hurriedly.

"Replying to Mr. Yi, there are one thousand taels!" After hearing this, Yi Duoer secretly calculated in her heart and roughly got the bottom of it. Then she grinned with a confident smile and said loudly

"I just got back today. Thank you all for your hard work and support for the workshop. From now on, as long as I, Yi Duoer, have a bite to eat, I will never forget you all!

I sincerely hope that you will all join me in the future and work together to carry forward the Yuhua Workshop!" Everyone was moved by her passionate words and responded enthusiastically in unison.

"Everyone has been working really hard lately. How about this? I'll treat everyone to a simple meal tonight. You can also bring your families along!"

Yi Duoer continued.

"Thank you, Mr. Yi! Mr. Yi is so nice!" When everyone heard that Yi Duoer was going to treat them to a meal, they all smiled happily, their eyes full of joy.

Yi Duoer imitated her brother's management methods. She knew that to run a large factory, one cannot blindly exploit employees. Giving them some sweet treats from time to time would make them work harder.

She looked at the factory director and whispered to him again to arrange the evening banquet, specifically emphasizing that it should be booked at the best restaurant in the city and that there was no need to worry about the funding. The factory director bowed his head respectfully and hurried off to make arrangements.

Afterwards, Yi Duoer returned to her workplace, which was her office.

She sat at the large desk, carefully checking the account books of the workshop in recent years, looking carefully at the various products manufactured, and checking the sales of the products one by one. Sometimes she frowned, sometimes she nodded slightly, immersed in her work.

At this time, Qiu Chan walked in quietly and said softly, "Miss, didn't you say before that you would accompany the master for dinner tonight?"

Yi Duo'er was concentrating on the data in the account book. When Qiu Chan reminded her, she patted her forehead and said in annoyance:

"Oh, I forgot about that! Oh, never mind. Send someone to give him a message and tell him I'm busy and not to worry about me."

She knew in her heart that her time was extremely precious now. When she came back, she had to concentrate on making money and could not always rely on a man. After all, he also had his own work to deal with.

Qiu Chan responded and was about to turn around and leave when Yi Duoer called her again:

"Wait a minute, is the thousand kilograms of sponge that I customized in Haizhou City still there?" Qiu Chan quickly replied, "It's still in the warehouse!" Yi Duoer stood up immediately after hearing this, grabbed Qiu Chan's wrist, hurried out of the office, and went straight to the warehouse where the sponges were stored.

As soon as she entered the warehouse, Yi Duoer smelled a dusty smell caused by being closed for a long time.

She didn't care, but leaned over and carefully picked up a sponge, examining it carefully. She even put it to her nose and sniffed it. She only smelled a dry odor, no sign of mold. Her brows relaxed instantly, a look of joy appeared on her face, and she said happily:

"Yes, you took good care of these sponges. You didn't let them get damp. Otherwise, they would be useless if they grew mold."

Seeing the young lady's praise, Qiu Chan quickly waved her hands, not daring to take credit for it, and directly explained that it was Chu Jingchen who specifically instructed them to place the sponge in a dry place. Upon hearing this, Yi Duoer raised the corners of her mouth and smiled knowingly, thinking to herself: I didn't expect him to be so meticulous in his work.

At this time, the palace had already received the news that Yi Duoer had returned to the capital. Even the news that the late queen Jiang Wange had returned to the capital spread to the palace like a gust of wind.

Regarding the return of these two people, people in the palace had different reactions, some were happy and some were sad.

In the Regent's Palace, Jiang Wange couldn't sit still either. Faced with the numerous maids and servants serving her, she felt uncomfortable and unaccustomed. She and Yuyao took Xiao Ran with them to the palace courtyard, playing with the child.

"Aunt Jiang, I wanted to go look for Duo'er, but she disappeared as soon as she came back. She's really not loyal at all." Yu Yao complained to Jiang Wange, her tone filled with deep dissatisfaction.

Jiang Wange was gently putting the golden lock on Xiaoran at this time. When she heard Yuyao's words, she raised her head, looked at her with a smile, and responded in a very gentle tone:

"Duo'er wanted you to have a good rest for a day, so she didn't call you. It's okay, if you're not tired, when Jing'er comes back, I'll ask him to take you to find Duo'er."

Yuyao smiled when she heard this. She had grown up freely in Jiangzhou and had never experienced the constraints of being served by others. As soon as Han Bo returned, he took his brother out, leaving only her and Aunt Jiang in the mansion. It was really boring.

Time passed slowly, and it was almost time for dinner. Yi Duoer was still concentrating on checking the account book in the office.

Chu Jingchen and Yuyao walked in quietly. Yi Duoer was so engrossed in reading that she didn't notice their arrival at all. It wasn't until Chu Jingchen reached out and took the detailed transaction information from her hand that she suddenly realized what was happening.

"Why are you here? Seventeen, are you done with your work?" Yi Duoer asked in surprise. Chu Jingchen nodded, then said with a hint of reproach that she shouldn't work so hard and that she wasn't allowed to look at the account books today.

Seeing the two of them being affectionate with each other, Yuyao felt a little embarrassed and coughed a few times on purpose. Yi Duoer rolled her eyes at Chu Jingchen, then took Yuyao's hand and asked her with concern why she didn't rest well in the palace.

"After all, I grew up in Jiangzhou. How could I be so delicate? But you, you have to work so hard." Yu Yao said to Yi Duoer with heartache.

Yi Duoer happily led her to the desk and showed her the account books and the like. Seeing that she seemed quite interested, she smiled and said:

"If you are willing, you can come to the workshop to work at any time. I will have someone clean up an office for you." Yu Yao didn't understand what she said at first, but after thinking about it for a few seconds, he understood what she meant and nodded in agreement with a smile.

"Boss Yi, the food has been prepared for the employees. Come and have some."

The factory director called softly at the door. Yi Duoer showed a charming smile and said to the factory director: "No, we have to go back to accompany our elders!

Don’t forget to distribute the gifts I prepared for them later.”

"Yes!"

After the factory director agreed, Yi Duoer walked out affectionately holding Chu Jingchen's arm.

After they returned to the Regent's Palace, Yi Duoer took Xiao Ran from the nurse's hands and couldn't help but kiss her on the pink cheek and teased her for a while. Jiang Wange smiled and said:

"Duo'er, give the baby to the nurse. You must be exhausted. Go wash your hands and have dinner."

Yi Duoer handed the child to the wet nurse with a smile on her face. At that moment, a servant came hurriedly to report: "Your Highness, the Minister Yi Yuanxiao is here to see you!"

"Let him in!" Chu Jingchen said calmly. At this moment, Yu Yao couldn't help but ask curiously, "Who is Yi Yuanxiao?"

Yi Duoer curled her lips and responded in a calm and emotionless tone: "It's my cheap dad!"

Just when Yu Yao was surprised, she thought that Duo'er's identity was not ordinary either. She was actually the legitimate daughter of an official in the capital.

At this time, Yi Yuanxiao strode into the main hall and saw Yi Duoer at a glance. A look of heartache instantly flashed in his eyes, but he still saluted Chu Jingchen first: "This old minister greets the Regent!"

"Your Excellency, there's no need to be so polite. I guess..."

Before Chu Jingchen could finish his words, he was interrupted by Yi Yuanxiao, who looked very excited and confused. He pointed his finger at Jiang Wange and shouted:

"Empress, the late queen? Are you still alive?" His voice was too surprised, and then he immediately knelt down without waiting for everyone to react!

Jiang Wange was at a loss for what to do after his sudden kneeling. She wanted to help him up, but she was concerned about the difference between men and women, so she quickly said:

"Your Excellency, there is no need to bow to me. I am just an ordinary woman now and cannot bear such a great gift from Your Excellency."

Yi Duoer also noticed that Jiang Wange was very resistant to the identity of the late queen, so she hurried forward to remind her:

"Dad, get up quickly. You will scare Aunt Jiang." Yi Yuanxiao also felt that his behavior was a bit abrupt at this time, so he stood up awkwardly, saying "yes, yes, yes" and apologies over and over.

After he finally calmed himself down, he focused his attention on Yi Duoer again.
