A crown princess who doesn't do infrastructure construction isn't a good doctor.

Beitang Yan picked it up quickly and had a high accuracy rate. After becoming proficient, he could even stop writing when Qin Suiyou finished a sentence, with a maximum interval of two words.

Therefore, the lesson plan was completed very quickly. Qin Suiyou was in a good mood and made some afternoon tea. After all, although he wouldn't be too slow when writing a lesson plan, he definitely wouldn't finish it so quickly. The meritorious should be rewarded.

During the afternoon tea, Shuohan came by and told us about the results of sending Manager Wang to the government office that day.

Shopkeeper Wang was sent to the Dali Temple. However, the guards sent by Shuo Han to escort Shopkeeper Wang did not use any special privileges. They only allowed a temple official to interrogate Shopkeeper Wang. Perhaps because the Dali Temple had a bad reputation, Shopkeeper Wang immediately confessed his crimes while crying. He not only told the whole story clearly, but also implicated an accomplice in the bookstore. As a result, the temple official said that he would have to report to his superiors, and he would inevitably face imprisonment.

After listening to Shuo Han's retelling, Qin Suiyou said he understood and then asked Lu Xi, who had come over for afternoon tea, to hand Shuo Han a plate of cookies as a small token of his gratitude.

……

The following day, before Jinwen and Lanfeng went to the Southwest Bookstore for inspection, Qin Suiyou first asked the head of the management company to inquire about the better woodworking shops and carpenters in Yejing. Although there was a talented craftsman named Luosen in the courtyard who had been quite engrossed in his craft these past few days, he was still not enough to renovate a shop by himself.

After some thought, the executive recommended Zhao Ji to Qin Suiyou, saying that the restaurant had good materials, fast service, and a skilled carpenter who, though not well-known, was very experienced.

After confirming the location of Zhao's Woodware Shop, Qin Suiyou instructed Luo Sen to go out with Jinwen and Lanfeng. After inspecting the Southwest Bookstore, they would go to the woodware shop together. If all the requirements were met, they could place an order today.

The three of them also traveled in a small horse-drawn carriage, driven by one of the stable's servants who was responsible for feeding, cleaning, and washing the horses. Lan Feng chatted with him for a few minutes and learned that although the boy named Chen Xiaodong looked young and inexperienced, he was Uncle Ma's apprentice. Uncle Ma not only passed on all his skills to him, but also treated him almost like a son.

"Xiaodong, let's park the carriage here. You watch the carriage; we'll be back in a bit."

"No problem, Brother Lanfeng, Brother Jinwen, Brother Luosen, take care."

The boy's voice was a little hoarse because he was going through puberty. Lan Feng hadn't gone through puberty yet, and thinking that his own voice might go through the same thing in the future, he couldn't help but touch his neck in fear.

Touching his neck, Lan Feng muttered, "I'm going to be laughed at for it. Does Zhengjun have any way to prevent his voice from getting like this?"

"What did you say?"

"what?"

Looking up, Lan Feng saw Jin Wen looking down at him with concern, and he quickly put his hand down.

"It's nothing. I was just thinking about what we should do if those guys don't complete the task that the Lord gave us."

Seeing that Lan Feng looked normal and didn't seem uncomfortable, Jin Wen felt a little relieved, but she still kept an eye on the person next to her.

“Organizing the items in the bookstore is indeed a huge project, but if they work honestly and without any shortcuts, they will be able to finish it. If they really can’t finish it, they will definitely be punished as a warning to others.”

Lan Feng nodded in agreement, then asked, "Are there any punishments? Will they deduct from my wages?"

Instead of patiently explaining as Lan Feng had expected, Jin Wen teased, "Still thinking about them? Have you figured out how to continue writing the thousand-word reflection that Zhengjun asked you to write?"

Upon hearing this, Lan Feng was struck dumb.

Yes, when Zhengjun first mentioned this punishment, they were quite grateful for his magnanimity, but when they actually started writing, they realized how difficult it was to write a thousand words. Jinwen finished writing last night, but Lanfeng had a much harder time. He racked his brains for a long time and only managed to squeeze out three or four hundred words. He didn't dare to ask Jinwen for help, and today he even went to Qin Suiyou to apologize again. But Qin Suiyou didn't make things difficult for him. He just said he would give him a few more days, but he still had to submit his reflections.

"Don't make fun of me, I'm really not very good at writing articles."

On the other side, Lawson, seeing that Lan Feng had struggled for a long time last night but could not write more than a few words, laughed and said, "You're just too stubborn. Relaxing will make it easier to have more inspiration to continue writing. A few days ago, Zhengjun asked me to improve the wood-planing tool, but I couldn't find a clue. You even comforted me and told me not to be stubborn. This also applies to yourself."

Lan Feng nodded excitedly, finding Lawson's words very reasonable.

"That's right, we can't get stuck on this. I'll definitely finish writing it when I get back today!"

Lawson was amused by his sudden burst of enthusiasm and said helplessly, "You said you wouldn't get stuck on things, but Zhengjun gave you an extra time. Just finish writing down your thoughts properly before then. Zhengjun did this so that you could really learn something."

"Me too..."

"Cough cough."

Jinwen coughed twice, interrupting their conversation.

"arrive."

Lan Feng looked up and saw the signboard of Southwest Bookstore right in front of him.

"That's enough, I need to get back to work."

After speaking, Lan Feng immediately straightened his expression, striving to adopt the demeanor of a superior who had come to inspect the work.

Because the bookstore had already suspended operations, the door was not open, so Jinwen stepped forward and knocked lightly on the door frame a few times.

A moment later, the door opened from the inside, revealing a somewhat familiar, timid young face... on the top of his head.

Yesterday, when Qin Suiyou called all the employees over for questioning, the one who looked the most timid was pushed to the front by several people. Even when Qin Suiyou's gaze, which was clearly very gentle, moved over him, he was trembling.

The waiter, head bowed, opened all the doors and then huddled to one side.

"Manager, please come in."

"Just call me Jinwen, I'm not in charge now."

Qin Suiyou only sent Jinwen and Lanfeng to handle the bookstore's affairs; it was indeed not yet decided who would take over the position of manager.

The waiter lowered his head even further and stammered, "Yes... sh."

Ignoring the waiter, Jinwen took the lead and went inside, with Lanfeng and Luosen following behind. They were both puzzled as to why the waiter was so timid.

Upon entering the bookstore, the shelves that were originally filled with books, calligraphy and paintings, inkstones, and wolf and sheep brushes were now empty. A few steps further in, the area where there used to be a wooden table was now empty, and a large area around it had been cleared out. Everything that had been taken off the shelves was now neatly categorized and placed there.

Lan Feng went up to the second floor and came back with his hands behind his back, saying without a smile, "The upstairs has been cleaned up too."

Jinwen nodded to indicate that he understood, and then looked at the group of men who had already stood up in a group.

"You did a good job."

Just as the men were about to breathe a sigh of relief, Jinwen's gentle voice rang out again.

"There's some in the warehouse, right? Now you can move all of these to the warehouse. Remember to categorize them and put them away neatly, not in a mess. Also, take down any shelves that can be disassembled and put them away in the warehouse. They're still useful, don't throw them away. And..."

Just as Jinwen was about to say something, a voice filled with dissatisfaction and contempt came from the group of waiters.

"Since you're going to take it to the warehouse anyway, why don't you just let us put it there directly? Why waste so much effort leaving it here?"

Jinwen looked up, but for a moment couldn't figure out who had expressed their dissatisfaction.

"Anyone with questions is welcome to come forward and ask."

As soon as he finished speaking, the men standing in front were shoved aside from behind, and then a short figure stepped forward.

Upon seeing this, Jinwen couldn't help but think to himself: No wonder I didn't see it earlier.

Then, Jinwen matched the figure with the name Qin Suiyou had told him before he left.

The short fellow stood arrogantly with his arms crossed, his tiny eyes squinting as if he were looking down on everything.

Jinwen showed no sign of surprise and asked gently, "Do you have any complaints about my instructions?"

The short fellow snorted and repeated what he had just said.

"Since you're going to take it to the warehouse anyway, why don't you just let us put it there directly? Why waste so much effort leaving it here?"

The person in front of him was already quite rude in tone and action, but Jinwen remained patient and said, "I'm having you gather the things here first because I'm also considering that the shelves will be put into the warehouse as well. If I had you put them directly into the warehouse, I'm afraid you wouldn't have been able to complete the task today. This is also giving you a chance to perform, so that you don't fail to do a good job on your first task given by your new employer. However, if you want to insist, that's fine too. But if you haven't completed the task, I'll have to deduct some wages."

The short guy was taken aback, and his earlier arrogance subsided somewhat. Then, he was pulled back by the person behind him. Thinking he had a way out, he went back to the back without looking back.

Seeing that no one had any further objections, and that today's tasks had been assigned, Jinwen gave a few more instructions before calling Lanfeng and Luosen to continue to their next task location.
