Marrying a royal playboy and becoming a glamorous matriarch

The waiter quickly gave the wealthy merchants a lengthy explanation.

"A recharge of one thousand taels will be converted into a copper card, which allows you to dine and drink tea in the main hall, and you will receive a 5% discount on weekdays."

"A recharge of 10,000 taels will grant you a silver card, which allows you to dine and host banquets in the private rooms on the first floor, with a 10% discount on weekdays."

"Recharge 100,000 taels to get a gold card, which offers a 20% discount on weekdays and allows you to dine on the second floor."

"You need to recharge one million taels to get a jade card, which gives you a 30% discount on weekdays, in order to go up to the third floor."

"No matter how much you recharge, the money will always be in Qianyulou's accounts, and you can use it for meals or banquets."

The wealthy merchants were shocked to hear that the threshold for the third floor was one million taels of silver.

This rule is incredibly audacious!

"Think about it, who are those people?" The waiter pointed upwards, revealing a meaningful smile.

The wealthy businessmen felt it was all worth it when they thought of the sons of those rich and noble families.

This million is the threshold for currying favor with the powerful and wealthy, the stepping stone to entering high society.

The opportunity is right in front of us, and those who understand it are determined to seize it.

The wealthy merchant Liu laughed, "This jade card is simply wonderful!"

He's not afraid of the million-dollar threshold being too high; he's only afraid that the threshold isn't high enough, giving others the opportunity to get in.

Besides, this million wasn't thrown away; it was preserved in another form, and it's still his money.

Well worth it!

"I've made the payment. Go to Longyu Money Exchange and get the money."

The waiter's eyes lit up immediately. "Alright!"

The deal was finalized, and the waiter presented the jade card with both hands.

The wealthy merchant Liu smiled arrogantly at his entourage, "Gentlemen, I, Liu, will take my leave first."

The wealthy merchants left behind were eager to make their move, but lacking the financial resources of the Liu family, they could only sigh in frustration.

The waiter then conveniently introduced the corresponding membership programs to them: "Actually, the second floor is quite nice too; there are quite a few imperial merchants here today."

Upon hearing this, the merchants were immediately tempted and opened their money bags without hesitation.

……

After the group left, Qin Ping'an and Wei Qingrou slowly emerged from behind the screen.

"I never imagined money could be made this way." Wei Qingrou's worldview was truly shattered.

Qin Ping'an, however, was proud and smug: "That's how money should be made. You think they're really here to eat, but actually they're after the opportunity to climb the social ladder."

"Impressive, impressive." Wei Qingrou couldn't help but admire.

Qin Ping'an smiled meaningfully, "Madam's membership system is also quite good."

Wei Qingrou felt unworthy of such praise.

Her tricks are copied from modern wisdom; they are replicable business methods. Before long, other restaurants will follow suit.

However, Qin Ping'an's connections were genuine and unparalleled. Even if other restaurants wanted to learn from them, they couldn't. After all, such high-level connections could only be spread through family ties, and outsiders could never get their hands on them.

Qianyulou had a good first day, a truly successful start.

Not only were the profits substantial, with a turnover of five million, but it also secured Qianyulou's high-end customer base.

From then on, Senyuro became a gathering place for Kyoto's wealthy and noble families, and a high-end consumption venue.

The key to retaining customers and satisfying their palates lies in the dishes at Qianyulou.

It is also necessary to hold regular tasting events, launch new dishes, and at the same time, refine the customer base and develop targeted strategies.

For example, her previous vegetarian tofu shop was actually aimed at housewives who wanted to eat vegetarian food for health, and the business was extremely successful, which shows that the approach was successful.

The business in front was proceeding smoothly, and Wei Qingrou, behind the screen, dared not delay for a moment, busy with the accounts, when suddenly she heard a cold shout.

"Wei Qingrou, how dare you lie to your mother?"

"You said Qianyu Tower wasn't yours, but now you're sitting here looking at the accounts. It's clear that what you said before was a deliberate lie."

Wei Qingrou looked up and saw Madam Wei with a cold expression.

Beside her stood Wei Lianxin, her face contorted with rage, coldly uttering words of provocation.

Wei Lianxin came to Qianyu Tower today purely to take advantage of the situation, but when she arrived, she found that there were no free food and drinks offered, and she immediately became anxious.

She mingled in the crowd and saw a group of wealthy young men in fine clothes enter Qianyu Tower, and she was so envious that her eyes turned red.

She heard from everyone that the current owner of Qianyu Tower was the Prince Dun's Mansion, so she guessed that Wei Qingrou would be here, and specially persuaded Madam Wei to come.

Today, she is determined to prove that Wei Qingrou has seized her elder sister's property, so that Madam Wei will completely despise her and only love her daughter from now on. Then she will never have to worry about money.

Wei Qingrou stood up unhurriedly, walked to Madam Wei and bowed: "Mother, I am very happy that you could come."

Madam Wei looked unwell and did not respond.

Seeing this, Wei Lianxin felt even more smug and provocatively said to Wei Qingrou, "Stop pretending! Mother has long seen through your wolfish ambitions!"

“Wei Qingrou, your mother treated you like her own daughter, prepared your phoenix coronet and wedding gown and dowry, and sent you off to a grand wedding. But for your own selfish desires, you used despicable means to persecute your elder sister and seize her property. You are a wolf in sheep's clothing, and you know nothing of gratitude.”

“Mother, you saw it too. Now that she’s been caught red-handed and the evidence is irrefutable, Wei Qingrou can no longer deny it. This kind of person doesn’t deserve to be in our Wei family!”

After saying these words, Wei Lianxin trembled with excitement, finally determined to get rid of Wei Qingrou.

Ever since Wei Qingrou returned to the Wei family, she has stolen so much of her favor and glory, causing Madam Wei to no longer show her any affection or love. How could she not hate her!

Now, this fishbone that's been lodged in my throat is finally going to be removed.

They were just waiting for Madam Wei to completely despise Wei Qingrou and remove her from the family, then they would see how arrogant she would still be.

Just when things were at their most critical, Chunxi brought over a chair. "Madam, please sit down. Don't get tired of standing."

"This chair, I suppose my sister bought it too? I remember she loves rosewood the most."

Wei Lianxin was taken aback, wondering why Madam Wei didn't react, and quickly continued to sow discord and try to sow discord among Madam Wei.

Madam Wei remained silent and sat down with a cold expression.

Xia Xi quickly served warm tea. Madam Wei glanced at it and saw that it was her favorite Yunnan black tea.

"Who wants to drink your tea?" Wei Lianxin rebuked coldly.

Wei Qingrou ignored her barking and looked only at Madam Wei.

Madam Wei's face was cold and angry, as if she was about to explode at any moment, but in the end she just snorted and slowly drank her tea.

Wei Lianxin was completely bewildered: What on earth happened?

Shouldn't Mother be furious, expel Wei Qingrou from the Wei family, and cause a scene at Qianyu Tower to ruin her business?

Why are you sitting down to drink tea?

This doesn't seem like they're coming to cause trouble; it's more like they're visiting as guests.

At this moment, Wei Qingrou, holding a thick ledger, walked up to Madam Wei and obediently presented it.

"Mother, these are the account books of Qianyulou since it opened. Please take a look."

Wei Lianxin felt flustered and completely lost her temper. She pointed at Wei Qingrou's nose and started yelling, "What do you mean by this? Mother would never look at such filthy things as you. Stop trying to be cute!"
