The Prince's Beloved Little Wife

After conducting a thorough and meticulous investigation of the department store employees, the Crown Prince's confidants and the Grand Tutor's trusted advisors returned to their respective residences almost without stopping. Their minds were filled with profound impressions of what they had seen and heard, and they were eager to report this extraordinary experience to their masters.

Inside the Crown Prince's residence, the confidant, beaming with smiles, spoke with effusive praise for the department store staff. He recounted in detail how they had treated them with impeccable hospitality, handling every detail with perfect grace, making them feel as if they were bathed in a warm breeze. Even more delightful was the unexpected gift they received upon leaving; they were not only warmly guided to obtain membership cards but also presented with carefully prepared presents. This pleasant surprise further enhanced the confidant's positive impression of the department store.

At the Grand Tutor's residence, his confidant conveyed a similar message. He described the staff's service as "imperfect," every smile and nod exuding professionalism and enthusiasm. When the topic of membership cards and gifts came up, a hint of admiration flashed in the confidant's eyes; clearly, these thoughtful gestures had deeply impressed him.

Upon hearing these reports, the Crown Prince and the Grand Tutor exchanged knowing smiles. They understood immediately that this was all Chen Mengyao's ingenious arrangement. Truly their good sister-in-law/daughter, she was so thoughtful and meticulous in her actions. No wonder she was loved by everyone. She not only possessed extraordinary business acumen but also demonstrated remarkable insight and attentiveness in the details. She knew that to ensure employees genuinely served customers, they first needed to feel cared for and respected by management. Therefore, these membership cards and gifts were not only an affirmation of their hard work but also a source of motivation for them to continue striving.

After Zhao Feng and his group left, Chen Mengyao quickly picked up her phone, tapped the screen, and sent a WeChat message to Prince and the others. She warmly invited them to go to Xihua Street later to select suitable locations for a buffet restaurant, a Western restaurant, a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant, and a jewelry store, so they could begin renovations as soon as possible and prepare for the future opening. Prince and the others replied almost instantly, readily accepting Chen Mengyao's invitation and considerately telling her that if she was in a hurry, she could go to Xihua Street first for preliminary inspection and selection.

Chen Mengyao waited patiently in the quiet courtyard for a while. Soon after, Mu Qingfeng and Chen Yufan arrived with the two people they had mentioned. After a brief introduction, Chen Mengyao took out two mobile phones and meticulously guided them on how to operate their various functions, from the most basic power on/off to more complex software applications, providing detailed explanations and demonstrations. Once they had mastered the basic use of the phones, she also added them to the renovation group chat, allowing them to contact her anytime if needed.

After teaching them how to use their phones, Chen Mengyao slowly spoke, asking if they had any questions or doubts about the contents of the drawings. She suggested that if they had any questions, they could bring them up later when they visited the store in person, at which time she could provide them with more intuitive and detailed answers based on the actual environment.

After saying this, she led her maids and the group of people to Xihua Street to begin selecting suitable shops. To test the two newcomers' understanding of her drawings, she went into each shop and patiently asked them for their opinions on opening a Western restaurant, a buffet restaurant, a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant, and a jewelry store.

These two truly lived up to Chen Yufan and Mu Qingfeng's praise; for each shop, they were able to clearly and logically analyze its advantages and disadvantages. After careful consideration, they finally selected four shops from among the many that perfectly met Chen Mengyao's requirements. Chen Mengyao was very satisfied with their report.

Just then, the Crown Prince and his entourage arrived. Chen Mengyao quickly introduced them to everyone, and the two newcomers were surprised to realize that they were all members of the royal family. They immediately knelt down to pay their respects. Seeing this, the Crown Prince smiled and told them to dispense with the formalities. Chen Mengyao then took the opportunity to tell the Crown Prince and his entourage about the shop the two newcomers had chosen. After carefully examining it, the Crown Prince and his entourage expressed their satisfaction. The Crown Prince even told Chen Mengyao, "You can decorate it however you like. If you need any manpower or funding, just let us know. We will provide all the financial and logistical support we can."

Chen Mengyao felt a surge of warmth upon hearing this. She immediately assigned the four newcomers to each be responsible for the renovation of a shop, and handed them the bank notes for purchasing materials and hiring workers. She instructed them, "If you don't have enough funds, just let me know in the group chat, and I'll send someone over." The four nodded in agreement and patted their chests, promising that they would renovate the shops beautifully.

Seeing this, the Crown Prince and his entourage also took the opportunity to check on the progress of the renovations of the shops they were each responsible for. Every corner was decorated with considerable style, and the future form was already clearly visible. The Crown Prince and his group praised the shops in charge and promised generous rewards upon completion. Everyone was delighted and worked even harder.

Afterwards, Chen Mengyao warmly invited the Crown Prince and his entourage back to her residence. She had some new ideas and plans in mind, eager to share and discuss them with them. She came up with a practical and innovative idea—to customize a batch of modern, waterproof menus. These menus would clearly list the product names and their corresponding prices, greatly facilitating customers' ordering once placed on the table, eliminating the need for them to ask or wait for waiters' explanations. Furthermore, she planned to suggest posting detailed food menus and price lists on every wall of the shop, so that customers could easily view the menu while browsing the shop, enhancing their dining experience.

Upon returning to Chen Mengyao's residence, Chen Mengyao eagerly shared her idea. The Crown Prince and his companions nodded in approval, sincerely marveling at the woman's thoughtfulness and meticulousness; they hadn't even considered such a clever idea before. They unanimously decided to immediately begin preparations upon their return, having several copies of the menu made, just in case.

Chen Mengyao was pleased to see their agreement with her suggestion. She then led them into her space, where she planned to create the waterproof menus. First, she carefully wrote the name of each restaurant neatly in the center of the menu. Next, she entered the names and prices of all the food items into the computer, ensuring every detail was accurate. Then, she printed out drafts using photo paper and meticulously laminated them to enhance their waterproof properties. In this way, several waterproof menus for different restaurants were successfully completed.

Furthermore, Chen Mengyao ingeniously printed promotional flyers containing information about the opening activities using colored paper. These flyers were brightly colored and beautifully designed to attract more customers. Everyone who saw the waterproof menus and colorful flyers praised them highly and asked her to print more. Hundreds of flyers, in particular, were needed for widespread distribution during the opening period. Only a few dozen waterproof menus were required, enough for the shop's daily use.

Chen Mengyao readily accepted everyone's request. She quickly printed out the menus and flyers and distributed them to each shop according to their names. Everyone held their own copies, their faces beaming with happy smiles. Seeing this, Chen Mengyao felt a great sense of satisfaction and accomplishment.

Afterwards, feeling there was nothing more to explain, she led them out of the space, letting them return to their own affairs. She remained in the manor to handle matters related to her department store. Suddenly, she remembered that the goods in her department store didn't yet have price tags. So, she immediately used her points to exchange for a large number of price tags in the redemption shop and began preparing price lists.

She meticulously recorded the price of each item, carefully compiling a detailed price list and printing multiple copies for future reference. At the same time, she also began creating promotional flyers for the department store's opening activities. These flyers not only contained a wealth of information about the events but also featured eye-catching and unique product images to attract passersby and stimulate their desire to buy. She planned to hand over these carefully prepared price lists to Lin Yu and his team tomorrow, instructing them to carefully copy them onto label paper so that customers could clearly see the price of each item. She also specifically instructed them to copy the corresponding traditional Chinese characters for the Arabic numerals and post them in a prominent location at the store entrance. This way, both literate and illiterate customers could easily and pleasantly find their desired items and their prices.

In addition, she arranged for Lin Yu and the others to distribute flyers over the next two days to ensure that more people learned about the department store's opening activities. When all the preparations were successfully completed, Chen Mengyao finally breathed a sigh of relief, a satisfied smile appearing on her face. She went to have a simple yet cozy dinner, then washed up and prepared to rest. As she finally lay on her comfortable bed, her heart was filled with boundless anticipation and beautiful dreams for the future, as if she could already see the department store's booming business and the constant stream of customers.
