The Prince's Beloved Little Wife

Chen Mengyao was not idle either. She began to make final preparations for tomorrow's opening - checking whether all the equipment was working properly, confirming the preparation of the ingredients, and checking the list one by one to ensure that every detail was perfect.

After confirming that everything at the medicinal cuisine health center was running smoothly, Chen Mengyao took out the pre-prepared change from her personal space and carefully placed it on the two cash registers. Then, she exchanged two brand-new banknote counters from her personal space's online store and placed them securely on the registers. Having completed these meticulous tasks, she glanced at the clock on the wall and, finding she had plenty of time, decided to go to the third floor to check on the work of the art shop's employees. After all, it had been a while since she had paid attention to the shop's sales performance.

"Yichen, let's go up and take a look." Chen Mengyao turned around and said softly to Ouyang Han beside her.

“Great, I’d also like to know about the operations here.” Ouyang Han smiled and nodded in response.

The two took the elevator to the third floor together. As soon as they entered the office, Chen Mengyao got straight to the point and asked, "How are the product sales lately? Is the inventory sufficient? If we're about to run out of stock, please remember to notify me a few days in advance."

Upon hearing the boss's question, the employees all stopped what they were doing and answered seriously. "Daily sales are quite good, usually several hundred orders!" replied one employee in charge of statistics. "Currently, the inventory is sufficient, but it would be even better if we had more."

As Chen Mengyao listened to their report, she quickly took notes in her notebook. Then, she smiled encouragingly and said, "Keep up the good work, everyone! I'll send over another batch of goods to replenish our inventory after the medicinal cuisine health center officially opens."

After explaining these matters, Chen Mengyao and Ouyang Han left the third-floor office and returned to the first floor. However, shortly after going downstairs, she suddenly realized that the glutinous rice balls needed for the opening of the health center tomorrow had not yet been prepared.

"Oh no, I forgot that the glutinous rice balls for tomorrow's opening haven't been prepared yet!" Chen Mengyao muttered to herself.

"Then let's deal with it now," Ouyang Han suggested.

"Well, I plan to go to the space exchange shop and exchange for some ready-made glutinous rice balls so the chefs can get up early tomorrow to cook them. This will save time and ensure the quality." After saying that, Chen Mengyao entered her private space.

Inside the virtual shop, Chen Mengyao carefully selected dozens of bags of pre-made, unfilled glutinous rice balls, along with a variety of high-end ingredients for cooking them, such as dried scallops, sausages, shredded squid, abalone, radishes, and shrimp. She then left the space with these supplies, heading straight to the kitchen and handing everything over to head chef Lin Hai.

"Master Lin, these are the glutinous rice balls and ingredients for tomorrow. Please arrange for some people to get up early tomorrow to cook the glutinous rice balls, hopefully they can be cooked by around 8:30. Also, the medicinal soup needs to be started as soon as possible to ensure a sufficient supply for tomorrow," Chen Mengyao patiently instructed.

"Understood, Mr. Chen." Lin Hai nodded after taking the items. "However, we might not have enough stew pots. What do you think we should do?"

“I’ve already thought about this.” Chen Mengyao took out many stewing pots and several large electric slow cookers from her space. “These are the largest electric slow cookers. Several stews that take the same amount of time can be stewed in one pot at the same time, which will be more efficient.”

After listening, Lin Hai nodded in satisfaction: "Okay, I will arrange it according to your requirements."

After explaining these things, Chen Mengyao glanced at the clock on the wall and realized it was almost 3 p.m. So she suggested, "Ouyang Han, it's getting late. Let's drive to Jiangxin Design to pick up the drink menu. We can also order dinner for the health center staff tonight."

“No problem,” Ouyang Han replied without hesitation.

On the way, Chen Mengyao suddenly remembered something important: "Right, I need to ask Xiaobai later if there are any pills that can replenish the chefs' strength, similar to those from the spiritual spring water. It's not that I'm reluctant to give them spiritual spring water, but I'm worried that it might neutralize the effects of the Loyalty Pill and the Secrecy Pill."

After hearing this, Ouyang Han smiled and said, "Your consideration is indeed thoughtful. After all, the chefs will definitely be busy for a long time tomorrow, and the pills will make things much easier."

The two quickly arrived at the craftsmanship design company and went directly to the person in charge. The person in charge smiled and handed them the completed beverage menu. "This is a beverage menu we carefully designed according to your layout requirements. We hope you like it."

Chen Mengyao took the menu and carefully flipped through it. The background effects were indeed excellent, all featuring traditional Chinese medicine, perfectly suited to their health and wellness center. The categorization hadn't changed much, only the font colors for drinks with different effects had been differentiated, making it very clear to customers. She nodded in satisfaction, "It's really great, thank you!" The manager smiled and said, "You're welcome, it's our duty." He then handed Chen Mengyao a business card, "Please contact us anytime if you need anything in the future." Chen Mengyao took it and said earnestly, "Okay, I understand."

Next, the two drove to a well-regarded hotel to order dinner. Upon entering, they were immediately drawn to the warm atmosphere of the lobby. A waiter greeted them warmly, "Welcome! How can I help you?" After Chen Mengyao explained their purpose, the waiter quickly brought out the menu and explained the hotel's signature dishes in detail. Ultimately, they decided to order a lavish dinner, ordering over twenty dishes, two nourishing soups, and some sweet soup. They instructed the waiter to deliver it to the medicinal cuisine restaurant at 5 PM, and also reminded them to include enough white rice for over twenty people. "The address is..." Chen Mengyao took out a pen and paper, wrote down the address, and handed it to the waiter, "Please be punctual." "Don't worry, we will definitely deliver on time," the waiter assured them. After paying, the two left the hotel.

Back in the car, Ouyang Han looked out the window and said, "There were a lot of things to do today, but everything went according to plan." Chen Mengyao nodded, "Yes, as long as everyone gets a good rest tonight, there won't be any problems with the opening tomorrow." Afterwards, they drove back to the medicinal cuisine health center.

Upon returning to the health spa, Chen Mengyao first placed the drink menus on each table and in each private room, and also put a few at the front desk. Then, she couldn't wait to enter the space and find the little white elf.

"Xiaobai, do you have any pills that can replenish energy? For the employees to take," Chen Mengyao asked.

The little white elf blinked, thought for a moment, and then took out a bottle of pills from its system, saying, "This is a stamina recovery pill. After taking it, you can quickly restore your stamina without affecting the efficacy of other medicines. Moreover, it has no side effects and is suitable for long-term use."

Chen Mengyao took the pills and smiled with satisfaction: "Great! Now all the employees will have more energy to work tomorrow. By the way, are these enough pills?"

“That’s enough. There are fifty pills in one bottle, more than enough for one pill per person,” Xiaobai replied.

"That's good." Chen Mengyao said and then left the space.

After coming out, she found Lin Hai, handed him the pills, and explained their effects and usage in detail. "Lin Hai, these are stamina recovery pills. Have the chefs and other colleagues take them tomorrow morning so they will have more energy to handle the work on opening day."

Lin Hai gratefully accepted the pills. "Thank you, Mr. Chen. I will make sure everyone takes them on time." He then asked, "Are there any other precautions?"

Chen Mengyao thought for a moment, "The medicinal herbs are in the warehouse, you can go and get them yourself. Also, remember to remind the supplier to deliver the food early. Just in case, I've already put some food in the refrigerator."

"Okay, I understand," Lin Hai nodded in reply.

Finally, Chen Mengyao told Lin Hai, "I've already booked dinner for tonight so everyone can get a good rest and prepare for tomorrow's opening."

After arranging everything, Chen Mengyao and Ouyang Han began checking all areas of the health center to ensure everything was ready. "Let's check it one last time carefully; we can't overlook any detail," Chen Mengyao said.

The two divided the work: Chen Mengyao was responsible for checking whether the tables and chairs were arranged neatly, whether the lighting was soft, and whether the decorations were properly placed; while Ouyang Han checked whether the equipment was working properly and whether the air conditioning temperature was suitable. After a thorough inspection, they finally confirmed that nothing had been missed.

"Everything looks perfect," Ouyang Han said with satisfaction.

"Yes, as long as the staff are in good condition, there will definitely be no problem with the opening tomorrow," Chen Mengyao replied confidently.

Before they knew it, evening had arrived. The dinner Chen Mengyao had ordered arrived on time, and the employees began to enjoy their meal. The table was laden with various delicious dishes, and everyone ate with relish, praising how delicious it was. "Today's food is so fragrant; it really lightens all the fatigue of the day," one employee exclaimed.

Seeing the satisfied expressions on her employees' faces, Chen Mengyao felt very gratified. She walked among them and said with a smile, "Everyone has worked hard. Enjoy this dinner and get plenty of rest for tomorrow's opening."

Just then, Lin Yuxin and his friends sent over flower baskets for the opening ceremony. Chen Mengyao had her employees arrange them before continuing to eat dinner. "Looks like our friends are really supportive," Ouyang Han joked.

After dinner, Chen Mengyao and Ouyang Han gathered all the staff again for a final pep talk and training session. "Dear colleagues, tomorrow is the opening day of our medicinal cuisine health center. I hope everyone can be in the best possible condition to welcome every customer," Chen Mengyao said firmly.

"Service quality is our most important standard. No matter what happens, we must keep smiling and patiently answer customers' questions," Ouyang Han added.

The employees expressed their understanding and promised to do their best in their work.

After the pep talk, the employees went back to their dormitories to rest. Lin Hai made one last call to the food supplier, reminding them to deliver the ingredients early the next day. "Don't let this important opening be delayed," he said before leaving to go back to his dormitory.

Chen Mengyao and Ouyang Han finally breathed a sigh of relief. They believed that with everyone's joint efforts, the medicinal cuisine health center would definitely have a successful opening. So, they went back to the villa to rest.
