After being expelled from the mansion, I changed the dynasty by writing novels.

"Manager Ye, someone is looking for us outside. He says he's the manager of Tianxia Teahouse, and his surname is Shi." Ye Yuwu had just gone upstairs to check on the progress when An Xing stopped her.

"The owner of Tianxia Teahouse is surnamed Shi?" Ye Yuwu lifted her skirt and walked down the stairs.

"It must be that their Tianxia Teahouse has a new manager. I think this Manager Shi looks much better than the previous Manager Ma," An Xing said casually from the side.

Ye Yuwu almost laughed, "Anxing, when did you learn to read faces? I had no idea."

"Shopkeeper, you're just teasing me. I just noticed that Shopkeeper Shi has a peaceful appearance."

They didn't continue their conversation. They had already reached the first floor, and the unfamiliar man standing at the front desk must be the Manager Shi that An Xing had mentioned.

Hearing footsteps on the stairs, Manager Shi turned around and saw a woman in a lake-blue dress, with a slender figure, graceful posture, and upturned hair, walking towards him with fair teeth and red lips.

Shopkeeper Shi clearly felt the gaze on his back and dared not look too long. If he had a handkerchief, he probably would have already taken it out to wipe his sweat by now.

Just as Shopkeeper Shi was sizing her up, Ye Yuwu was also sizing him up.

This Manager Shi seems to have a gentle temperament compared to the previous Manager Ma. He doesn't have the shrewdness of someone who's smooth-talking. He sits very straight and doesn't look down on people. No wonder An Xing said earlier that Manager Shi is more comfortable to be around than Manager Ma.

Shopkeeper Shi was the first to walk over and exchange pleasantries with Ye Yuwu.

With his master watching him from behind, he was lucky if his legs didn't tremble.

However, he was quite curious about what was so special about Manager Ye that made His Highness look at him with new eyes, recalling the words His Highness had previously instructed him.

Upon arriving at the teahouse, before he had even sat down, Manager Shi got straight to the point and told Ye Yuwu about his plans for the trip.

"You want to cooperate with us?"

Manager Ma also came before, wanting to discuss cooperation.

Although the shopkeeper seemed to be behaving very humbly, he still didn't take her seriously.

This shopkeeper, Mr. Shi, seemed sincere, as if he were discussing things with her from a businessman's perspective.

"My manager only found out about what that previous manager did later. I heard that Manager Ye wanted to cooperate with Tianxia Teahouse before, but unfortunately the previous manager didn't seize the opportunity, which is a great pity." Manager Shi looked regretful, but in his heart he was thinking: Fortunately, Manager Ma was too ambitious and incompetent, otherwise he wouldn't be in this situation now.

Ye Yuwu didn't say he had such a bad impression of teahouses, but rather, "Bookstores have already partnered with tea shops, I'm afraid..."

Manager Shi had already learned about this before he came, so he wasn't worried. He said, "I heard that Chayunhe only has one storyteller now and is training some people. But if they really want to perform on stage, it probably won't be that quick. It will take quite some time. To be honest, our Tianxia Tea House isn't as successful as it used to be. We don't lack storytellers, and Chayunhe Tea House isn't very big, but we have a lot of customers. It's almost always packed."

Shopkeeper Shi paused for a moment, knowing that Ye Yuwu had taken his words to heart and was now pondering them. He didn't urge her, but instead changed the subject and continued to 'entice' her, "I think the three of us can definitely cooperate."

"Rest assured, the silver that should be divided among the three families will be distributed according to each family's contribution."

"Manager Shi, let me think about it. This is not a decision that I can make alone."

"Of course, this matter is of utmost importance, and it is only natural that Manager Ye would take more time to consider it. I will take my leave now. If Manager Ye has made a decision, you may send someone to Tianxia Teahouse."

After Manager Shi left, Ye Yuwu couldn't sit still, so she went to Chayunhe to find Manager Gao without stopping.

When she arrived at the entrance of Chayunhe, just as Manager Shi had said, the place was completely blocked inside and out, with a great deal of noise. She had no choice but to go through the back door, which thankfully was clear.

After entering the teahouse, perhaps because there were too many people inside, the waiter did not notice her arrival. She grabbed one of the waiters, who was originally running errands to deliver melon seeds. When she grabbed his wrist, he turned his head and saw that it was Manager Ye.

Ye Yuwu directly asked him if Manager Gao was present.

"What a coincidence, Manager Gao is checking the bills in his study today. Let me take you up there."

"No, it looks like there are a lot of people today. You go ahead and get busy. I'll go find Manager Gao myself."

"It's alright, it'll only be a short while. Besides, the teahouse is always packed with people. Manager Gao repeatedly told us to make sure you were treated well."

Unable to refuse the waiter's request, they had no choice but to follow his lead up to the second floor.

"You wouldn't believe it, ever since those two storybooks came out, the teahouse has been packed with people every day. Some people try to squeeze in but can't get in. It's been tough on Mr. Wu, he hasn't had much rest these past few days, he's been telling stories non-stop, and his eyes are bloodshot. Oh, we're here." The waiter led her along, talking about the recent events at the teahouse, and soon they arrived at the door of the study.

The waiter tentatively reached out and knocked on the door, "Manager, Manager Ye is here."

A moment later, the door opened, and Manager Gao led Ye Yuwu into the room. After Ye Yuwu entered, Manager Gao peeked out and looked around to make sure no one was there before closing the door.

After closing the door, Manager Gao asked hesitantly, "Manager Ye, are you alone?"

Manager Gao didn't ask that question without reason. After all, there were only the two of them in the room, a man and a woman alone, and it wouldn't be good if someone saw them.

Ye Yuwu understood his meaning and gave Manager Gao a reassuring look. "Don't worry, Manager Gao. I went into the back. No one saw me come here. I wouldn't have come to find you suddenly if I didn't have something important to discuss with you."

Seeing that Manager Ye's expression was very serious, as if he had encountered some difficulties, Manager Gao also became serious.

Then Ye Yuwu told him about Manager Shi from Tianxia Teahouse coming to see her today, and also told Manager Gao about Manager Shi's plan for the three of them to cooperate.

"I felt I needed to tell you about this, which is why I came to find you."

"Of course I have no problem with it, this is a good thing, isn't it!"

"Huh?" Ye Yuwu looked at Manager Gao with some surprise. After all, Chayunhe was very profitable these days. If they were to cooperate with Tianxia Tea House, they would inevitably take away most of the money, which was not worthwhile for a merchant.

"Actually, I am very grateful to you, Manager Ye. I originally thought that Chayunhe could not be revived and I was planning to sell it. Fortunately, I met you."

"Please don't say that anymore, Manager Gao. You'll get angry. This is the result of our joint efforts." Ye Yuwu had heard Manager Gao say this more than once or twice.

Manager Gao smiled and looked at Ye Yuwu with the same gaze one would give a child, "Manager Ye, you can make the decision on this matter. To be honest..."
