A peasant girl travels through time with a hospital, rising to become an empress.

Upon hearing this, Grandma Ma's hand, which was under the table, trembled slightly, a mixture of excitement and nervousness.

She was over fifty years old and thought she would spend the rest of her life in mediocrity, but she never expected to receive such an important task, and suddenly felt immense pressure.

She was afraid of messing things up, but even more afraid of losing this last chance to change her fate.

"I..." Grandma Ma's voice trembled slightly. Seeing this, Big Horse and Little Horse immediately took Grandma Ma's hands, one on each side. Only then did they realize that Grandma's hands were cold and trembling slightly.

Grandma Ma tried to compose herself and asked, "I'm just an old woman from the countryside, and I'm getting old. Qianqian, are you really going to leave this to me?"

Nie Qianqian nodded firmly, her eyes full of trust, and said, "Grandma Ma, I believe in you."

He's only in his fifties, the perfect age to venture out and explore.

Grandma Ma stood up, slowly bowed to Nie Qianqian, and said earnestly, "Qianqian, even if this old woman risks her life, she will never let you down."

Nie Qianqian said gently, "You flatter me. I will always be by your side to help you."

With Nie Qianqian as her strong support, Grandma Ma felt much more at ease.

She thought to herself, how difficult could this be? She would just do as Qianqian said, and she refused to believe she couldn't do it well.

“It’s really not easy to find suitable and well-known people for hiring in a short period of time. We need to ask someone with connections and resources in Fulin County for help. I’ll make an appointment with Mr. Jiang in the next few days and ask him to recommend some candidates. Uncle, you can come with me to meet these people and then we can decide whether to hire them.”

Liu Xiong's eyes widened, and he pointed to his nose, "Me?"

“That’s right. When we were building the new house, you helped us find the people. You already have experience in hiring and selecting people. Besides, most of the people we hired will be under your command, so naturally you have to personally oversee the selection.”

When Nie Qianqian brought up the matter of hiring people to build the house, Liu Xiong blushed. It was because he was easily swayed that he agreed to let Huang Zhenzhu send those two brats, Yi Jin and Yi Yin, to work, which led to the subsequent trouble. Having learned his lesson, he would never make a similar mistake this time.

Liu Xiong pursed his lips, raised his hand and patted his chest hard, saying, "Qianqian, don't worry, this time I will definitely keep my eyes open and choose the right person."

Nie Qianqian nodded. “Uncle, you have a lot to worry about. You’ll have to find new ways to handle kitchen procurement. Guangjuxuan used to have a lot of problems with procurement; the prices of meat and vegetables were higher than the market price, and Chen Feng was taking kickbacks from it.”

"Big Ma, Little Ma, before the business opens, you two should help your uncle sort out the kitchen procurement. Kitchen procurement is crucial, and it involves a lot of money. It has always been the place where problems are most likely to occur, so we must take this matter seriously."

Nie Qianqian's words served two purposes: firstly, to demonstrate her trust in Da Ma and Xiao Ma, entrusting such an important matter to them; secondly, to give them a heads-up, as she knew that purchasing was a lucrative business and prone to problems, and she would definitely pay extra attention.

After observing the two brothers through their collaboration at Liu's Restaurant, Nie Qianqian realized that she actually trusted them. However, the most important thing to avoid is testing people's hearts. Instead of letting them be tested by endless temptations, it's better to cut off those temptations from the beginning.

Big Ma and Little Ma quickly got up and promised that they would do a good job and that there would be no embezzlement or printing of money.

Nie Qianqian gestured for the two to sit down, smiling, "Of course I trust you, otherwise I wouldn't have entrusted this matter to you. However, I still need to give you a few more words of advice. I have zero tolerance for this kind of thing."

Nie Qianqian likes to speak frankly and clearly upfront.

Neither of them had any ulterior motives to begin with, and after hearing what Nie Qianqian said, they dared not have any impure thoughts.

"Fu Niang, you will stay with my mother during this time and help her with the investigation and research on dishes. Tan'er, as I told you before, go and find some decoration materials on the market. You will be in charge of the subsequent publicity work."

The two of them are currently assigned the lightest tasks. They have only been with the company for a short time, and Nie Qianqian needs to observe them for a while before entrusting them with heavy responsibilities.

Seeing that everyone else had been assigned tasks, Ah Ling couldn't help but point to herself and ask, "What about me?"

She hadn't really understood what Nie Qianqian had said before; she was only worried that Nie Qianqian might be thirsty after talking for so long.

Nie Qianqian said with a hint of doting and helplessness, "You're just here to be a mascot."

Ah Ling looked completely confused, not understanding what Nie Qianqian meant.

Nie Qianqian smiled at her dazed look, "You and I are busy with something else, I'll tell you the details tomorrow."

They needed Jiang Botao's help with recruitment, and they couldn't let him do it for nothing. It was time to move forward with their "women's business" that they had agreed on.

Tan'er noticed the intimate way Nie Qianqian and A Ling spoke and thought that she should get along well with A Ling.

"The notice has been posted. The restaurant will open after the New Year, which gives us time to prepare and also allows everyone to have a good New Year. However, the fact that the restaurant will open after the New Year does not mean that our publicity will also start after the New Year. We need to make arrangements in advance to create momentum for Qiyue Restaurant. After you finish your market research, Mother, let's discuss this matter together."

Nie Qianqian already had an idea, but she didn't want to tell Liu Yan and Liu Xiong everything directly so they could carry it out. Instead, she wanted the two of them to think things through and plan together.

Nie Qianqian spoke for a while longer, then asked everyone to share their thoughts.

"That's all for today. Everyone's ideas are excellent and will be put into practice in the operation of the restaurant. Trust me, and trust yourselves. Qiyuelou will definitely become famous and renowned after its opening!"

As night deepened, the first core meeting of Qiyue Tower came to a successful conclusion.

After the meeting, everyone felt as if a fire had been ignited in their hearts, their bodies were full of energy, and their blood seemed to be boiling faster.

Becoming famous and renowned far and wide! This is the beautiful vision that Nie Qianqian painted for everyone, and this vision is not out of reach. As long as everyone works together with one heart and one mind, it will surely be achieved.

Guangjuxuan was spacious, with guest rooms and numerous side rooms in the backyard. Originally, these side rooms were for some managers, but now Grandma Ma, Big Ma, Little Ma, and others had moved in. Back in their quarters, everyone found it difficult to fall asleep.

Big Horse and Little Horse lay on the bed in the side room, which was much nicer than their mud house in Qinghe Village.

Little Ma tossed and turned, unable to sleep, and asked softly, "Brother, are you asleep?"

Da Ma stared into the darkness at the moonlight streaming through the window, his eyes wide open, and said, "No."

Xiao Ma continued, "It feels like a dream to me, it's not real."
