Xia Ruwan pushed open the door and looked at Qin Huiyin, who was concentrating on making perfume in the perfumery room. She said, "I heard someone sent my brother to the capital and cried heartbrokenly. I don't think he's in trouble. It seems the rumors are a bit exaggerated."

"My brother has gone to Beijing, and we won't be able to meet for a while. It's inevitable that I'm a little emotionally excited and out of control. Is this little thing worth you coming all the way here to make fun of me?" Qin Huiyin put the collected floral dew in front of her nose and sniffed it.

"How could I be in the mood to laugh at you?" Xia Ruwan leaned aside and said weakly, "I'm really heartbroken right now."

Qin Huiyin raised her eyes and looked at Xia Ruwan's expression: "What could have made Miss Xia so worried? Last time it rained heavily, all the new goods in your silk shop were flooded. I compensated Boss Liu three times the amount for the goods, and you didn't even frown."

"My father took away most of our wealth, and the Xia family couldn't even keep their ancestral home. Starting over again has never given me such a headache." Xia Ruwan picked up the scroll she had brought in from the table next to her and opened it, revealing a portrait of a man. "This is the second son of the imperial merchant Rong family. What do you think of him?"

"What can we see from this portrait? Two eyes, a nose, a mouth, two ears... Standing sideways, we can only see one ear, and I don't know if the other ear is intact." Qin Huiyin said, "What does this portrait have to do with the person himself?"

"Haha..." Xia Ruwan laughed.

Seeing her smile like this, Qin Huiyin said, "That's right, you're so young but you're frowning like an old woman."

"I don't want to do this either, but my mother recently asked me to go on a blind date with the second son of the Rong family. The Rong family is now an imperial merchant, so they have connections and financial resources. If we can get the second son of the Rong family to be our son-in-law, it will only benefit the development of the Xia family. Now, there is another war on the border, and the Rong family has sent invitations to all the big merchants, inviting the owners of major shops to gather in the provincial capital to discuss how to make arrangements. My mother asked me to go on a blind date while I was there."

"There's a war going on at the border, and all the major merchants have to make a statement. If it really reaches the hands of the soldiers, I have no objection. But has this silver really reached the hands of the soldiers at the border?"

"Who knows? As the president of the Chamber of Commerce, the Rong family has to obey their organization. Donation or not, this trip is inevitable."

"I didn't receive the post, so just pretend I don't know!"

"The Qin family's fame has long surpassed mine, the Xia family's. Just wait and see. Within three days, you will definitely receive a post."

"So what do you think? Do you really want to meet this guy? If you don't want to meet him, just tell Aunt Xia. You're her only daughter, and she's already met a heartless man like your father. I'm sure she'll understand your feelings and won't force you."

"It is precisely because I am the only daughter and the family is in urgent need of a pillar to support it that my mother wants me to find a son-in-law who will live with the family." Xia Ruwan smiled bitterly.

"Aunt Xia has suffered before, so she should understand that men are unreliable. Instead of pinning her hopes on a son-in-law who is difficult to handle, it's better to trust herself." Qin Huiyin said, "Judging from this portrait, it's hard to tell whether this second son of the Rong family is good or not. Anyway, I have to attend the Rong Family Chamber of Commerce banquet, so we'll see!"

"You're right. Why should I worry about it now?" Xia Ruwan cheered up. "If you really don't like it, I can find some faults and refuse it later."

Qin Huiyin placed the prepared perfume between Xia Ruwan's noses: "How is it?"

"This one is elegant, like a delicate orchid. I like it." Xia Ruwan took it. "Give it to me."

"This is the perfume I just made. You're really acting like a robber. But since you're in a bad mood today, I'll let you have it!"

As soon as Xia Ruwan left, Qin Huiyin received the post.

After reading the post, she said to the guy next to her, "Go ask Songji if they have received the post."

"Yes."

Currently, Songji is run by Jiang Qingnan, with Jiang Qibin and Zhang Erzhu assisting. Given Songji's current size, it should be able to receive posts.

Not long after, the guy came back and brought back news about Song Ji.

"Boss, Song Ji also received the post."

In the evening, Qin Huiyin mentioned that the imperial merchant Rong family had sent invitations to the owners of major shops, saying that they would set off for the provincial capital in three days.

"I plan to take Sister Luwu with me."

Tang Luwu said in surprise: "Me? I have never been to a banquet before."

"There will be many more banquets like this in the future, so be sure to attend them regularly. We have a wide range of businesses now, and when the time comes to open branches, you'll need to personally oversee them. You'll need to learn to be independent first. I'll take you to meet the owners of various shops, just as a way to network. As for the content of this post, let it take its course! If the other party can convince me, I'm certainly happy to help."

"Mom, Uncle Tang, Wan'er will also be there when the time comes, so the business here will depend on you to take care of it."

Li Taohua said, "Don't worry. I oversaw the development of every area in Sister Food City and participated in every change. I'm as familiar with this place as you are. I may not be able to help you with other areas, but this place is very familiar to me."

After arranging things in the store, I went to the snack shop to check the situation.

With Song Ruize gone, she was the only one left by the big boss, and she had to do many things herself. What had been making her a little irritated lately was the increase in dishonest employees. She counted out several of the old employees and couldn't believe that those who had been so honest before were now so confused.

All I can say is that money can move people's hearts.

Qin Huiyin counted the account book and was about to leave, but saw Jiang Qibin coming into the store.

"Brother Qibin, how come you have time to come here today?"

Jiang Qibin said embarrassedly, "I heard that something went wrong in the store recently. I've been sick for a few days, and as a result, such a mess has occurred. I really failed Brother Ze's trust. Sister Huiyin, don't worry, I will definitely keep a close eye on it from now on and prevent those people from doing anything sneaky."

"Of course I trust Brother Qibin. But I heard that Brother Qibin has been very busy lately, and you're personally overseeing the affairs of the escort agency. Can you handle it?"

"I can handle it," Jiang Qibin assured. "The escort agency hasn't received much cargo lately, so I don't have to worry about it. But there are always problems at the snack shop. Jiang Qingnan went to the provincial capital and won't be back for the next few days. Zhang Erzhu went home to be with his wife and children. I heard that Zhang Dazhu is going on a blind date, and Zhang Erzhu also has to keep an eye on the Zhang family's carpentry business. I'm the only one who's relatively free, so of course I have to work a little harder."

"Your wedding with Miss Molan is about to begin, right?" Qin Huiyin asked.

Jiang Qibin touched his head and said embarrassedly: "It hasn't been decided yet. When it is decided, I will be the first to invite Huiyin to the wedding."
