The Prince's Beloved Little Wife

After arranging for the chefs, Chen Mengyao and Ouyang Han returned to the lobby. There, the employees were gathered around Lin Junkai, diligently learning about pharmacy operations. The two stood quietly to the side, observing; the entire lobby was filled with a strong learning atmosphere.

During the break, Chen Mengyao went to the kitchen and carefully selected some fresh pastries and fruits to share with everyone. She smiled and walked among the employees, kindly inquiring about their learning experiences over the past few days. Hearing her question, the employees enthusiastically shared their thoughts, expressing that the practical knowledge gained was more useful and relevant to their work than what they learned in school. They also firmly promised to approach their future learning with an even more positive attitude.

Chen Mengyao's face beamed with barely suppressed joy, her eyes filled with satisfaction. She earnestly said to her companions, "I've seen everyone's hard work these past few days, and I'm truly very satisfied. I hope you can continue to maintain this, study diligently, and constantly improve yourselves." Turning to Ouyang Han beside her, she softly said, "My dear Yichen, today is an important day. Our wedding invitations are printed; we need to hurry and pick them up so we can distribute them to our guests tonight." Ouyang Han smiled and nodded, taking Chen Mengyao's hand as they walked together towards their car.

The car was filled with a warm and expectant atmosphere throughout the journey. Chen Mengyao gripped the steering wheel, watching the scenery rushing past the window, and said with a hint of excitement, "Yichen, what do you think our friends' reaction will be when they see our carefully designed invitations?" Ouyang Han glanced at her affectionately and said, "They'll definitely be pleasantly surprised, after all, this is the result of our hard work." Accompanied by relaxed conversation, they arrived at Craftsmanship Design in just fifteen minutes.

Chen Mengyao arrived at Boss Wang's office with practiced ease. Upon seeing the person in charge, she greeted him warmly, "Boss Wang, hello! We're here to pick up our wedding invitations." Boss Wang responded with a smile, "Ms. Chen, Mr. Ouyang, welcome, welcome! We've already prepared them for you both." He then immediately called his secretary, "Xiao Li, quickly go and bring over the invitations that Ms. Chen and Mr. Ouyang ordered."

About ten minutes later, the secretary led several people carrying several boxes into the office. Boss Wang gestured for Chen Mengyao and Ouyang Han to come forward and inspect them, saying, "Please take a look. If there's anything you're not satisfied with, please let us know." Chen Mengyao and Ouyang Han exchanged a smile and each picked up an invitation. The exquisite design, the high-quality materials, and especially the names of the invitees—all their close friends—everything was exactly as they had hoped. Chen Mengyao couldn't help but exclaim, "Boss Wang, you've done a fantastic job! It perfectly matches our design expectations. Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness!" Ouyang Han echoed, "It's indeed very good. Your professionalism and responsibility are evident."

Without hesitation, Chen Mengyao immediately transferred the remaining amount to Boss Wang and sincerely said, "Boss Wang, it was a very pleasant cooperation. Your service and quality are impeccable. If I have similar needs in the future, I will definitely come back to you." Boss Wang thanked her repeatedly, "Thank you for your trust and support. Please feel free to contact us if you need anything in the future."

Chen Mengyao and Ouyang Han carefully accepted the boxes of invitations, bid farewell to Boss Wang and the person in charge, and left happily.

After returning to the villa, Chen Mengyao and Ouyang Han placed the two heavy boxes of invitations on the floor of the hall, then sat down on the sofa to rest for a while. Meanwhile, Lin Junkai, Li Wentao, and the pharmacy staff also finished their short break and resumed their study of essential pharmacy knowledge. They were completely focused, and the atmosphere was dedicated and enthusiastic.

Time slipped by quietly, and as it approached five o'clock, Chen Mengyao gently clapped her hands, breaking the study atmosphere in the room with her crisp voice. "That's enough for today," she said in her usual gentle tone. "We'll continue our in-depth learning tomorrow." Although the employees were still somewhat reluctant to leave, upon hearing this, they obediently began packing up their study materials, preparing to conclude this fulfilling and meaningful day of learning. Everyone moved in an orderly fashion, their faces bearing satisfied smiles; clearly, they were very pleased with what they had gained that day.

As the clock struck precisely five o'clock, Qian Haochen and Li Jia arrived as promised, appearing before the magnificent and imposing villa. They strode inside with steady steps, their gazes firm and their expressions confident, as if they had everything under control. Upon entering, Qian Haochen took a detailed plan from a folder he carried with him and handed it to Chen Mengyao.

This plan details all aspects of the upcoming medicinal beverage and pastry competition. The event is scheduled for the first weekend of next month at Chen Mengyao's Youran Pavilion Medicinal Cuisine Restaurant. This arrangement not only facilitates participation but also makes full use of the restaurant's comprehensive kitchen equipment, while providing the restaurant with an excellent brand promotion opportunity. The competition has strict and creative requirements: all entries must be based on traditional Chinese medicinal herbs, combined with modern culinary techniques, to create healthy and delicious drinks and pastries that showcase the unique charm of traditional Chinese medicine culture.

The rewards for the winners are even more impressive. According to the criteria previously set by Chen Mengyao, first place will be shared by two contestants, and their work will directly become new products in the store. This not only highly recognizes their skills but also provides them with a broad platform to showcase themselves. In addition to a basic reward of 2000 yuan, each winner will receive an extra grand prize of 2 yuan if their product is widely popular with customers, and will also enjoy a monthly sales commission of 1000 yuan. This incentive mechanism undoubtedly greatly motivates the participants.

In addition, Qian Haochen added second and third prizes. The second prize will be awarded to four participants, each receiving a diamond membership card from the medicinal cuisine health center and a cash prize of 1000 yuan. The third prize will be awarded to six participants, each receiving a gold membership card from the same center and a prize of 500 yuan. These prizes not only reflect the fairness of the competition but also give more participants the opportunity to gain recognition and rewards.

The registration process has been carefully designed. Participants can submit their resumes and a brief description of their work through the online registration system, or choose to register in person by filling out a paper form. To ensure widespread dissemination of competition information, a multi-channel approach has been adopted for promotion. In addition to traditional poster displays and flyer distribution, comprehensive promotion will be conducted through social media platforms, local news media, and recommendations from partners, striving to attract more people who love medicinal cuisine to join this grand event.

At the same time, Li Jia also submitted her meticulously prepared proposal for the handicraft competition. This proposal was equally detailed, covering all aspects of the competition. The competition was scheduled for the third weekend of next month, and the venue was a spacious and bright art studio. This setting not only provided ample space for participants to showcase their talents but also allowed the audience to appreciate each exquisite handicraft up close and experience the charm of artistic creation.

Registration is similar to that for the medicinal cuisine and beverage/pastry competitions; participants can register online, in person, or by phone. Regarding competition requirements, entries must demonstrate originality and innovation, while also possessing practical or decorative value. These standards aim to encourage participants to incorporate their unique design concepts into their creations, thereby producing more appealing works.

Regarding competition rewards, Li Jia's plan also includes multiple award levels. The first prize is shared by two participants, who will not only receive a cash prize of 1500 yuan, but their works will also have the opportunity to be sold in the store. If these works are popular in the market, the participants will receive a certain percentage of sales revenue each month. In addition, they will be hired to make handicrafts for the online store, with specific compensation to be negotiated with them personally by the owner. This arrangement not only provides participants with a stable source of income but also brings more high-quality products to the store.

The second prize will be awarded to eight participants, each receiving a reward of 1000 yuan. Their works can also be sold in the store, and with outstanding performance, they may have the opportunity to earn a share of the sales. Furthermore, these winners can choose to create artwork specifically for the store, further enhancing their career development opportunities. The third prize will be awarded to twelve participants, each receiving a reward of 500 yuan. Although the amount is relatively small, their works still enjoy the same opportunities as the first and second prize winners, namely, the possibility of selling their work in the store and earning a share of the sales.

The entire plan was designed with the actual needs and interests of the participants in mind, while also taking into account the store's brand promotion and market expansion. From the competition's time and location to the registration methods, requirements, and reward mechanism, everything has been meticulously considered and planned. We believe that with such careful organization, these two competitions will be a complete success, bringing unforgettable experiences and substantial rewards to all participants, while also injecting new vitality and dynamism into Yourange and the art studio.

After carefully reviewing the two proposals, Chen Mengyao and Ouyang Han smiled with satisfaction. Ouyang Han said to Li Jia and Qian Haochen, "Both proposals are excellent. From now on, report directly to me regarding all matters related to the handcrafted art competition. President Chen only needs to focus on the medicinal cuisine pastries and beverage competitions." Chen Mengyao nodded in agreement.

“Understood, Mr. Ouyang,” Li Jia replied. “We will make the follow-up arrangements according to your instructions.” Qian Haochen added, “Indeed, this division of labor is clearer, and we can focus more on our respective tasks.”

Then, Chen Mengyao said, "After the other guests arrive tonight, we can discuss in detail how to implement these two competitions. I think it would be best to divide each competition into several groups, with each group having a dozen or so members responsible for a specific task. This would be more efficient and better ensure the quality."

“That’s an excellent suggestion, Mr. Chen.” Li Jia nodded in agreement. “Grouping can indeed make the task allocation more detailed and avoid confusion.” Qian Haochen also agreed: “Yes, we can set up corresponding groups according to different stages, such as planning group, execution group, and supervision group, to ensure that each stage has a dedicated person in charge.”

"Very good, then it's settled." Ouyang Han concluded, "We'll refine these details further after everyone gathers tonight, and then make a final confirmation." Li Jia and Qian Hao Chen replied in unison, "Okay, we understand!"
