Chapter 241 Business is booming
After the meal, the group did not gather together again. Li Chu was worried about Dugu Jingyao and Liu Jingyue, who had gotten up early this morning, and wanted to give them some time to rest, so he took Li Tan and Li Ruo back to the palace.
Li Shen was relatively lucky because he often had the opportunity to leave the palace, but Li Ruo could only leave the palace for two days a month. She was very reluctant to return to the palace like this, and her lips were pouted all the way.
Li Chu and Li Neng naturally noticed Li Ruo's displeasure. Li Neng said with a teasing smile, "Oh, Ruo'er, who owes you money? You pout so hard you could hang a donkey on it!"
Upon hearing Li Dan's words, Li Ruo immediately reached out to hit him. However, due to the cramped space in the carriage, Li Chu stopped them in time and said, "Alright, stop it. You can't do this in a carriage. Come back to the palace with me, both of you. Rest up first and return to the palace later."
Hearing this, Li Ruo immediately smiled and said happily, "Big Brother is still the best. Unlike Third Brother, he only knows how to ridicule me!"
Li Neng made a face, Li Ruo responded with one, and the matter was over.
On the other side, Dugu Jingyao and Liu Jingyue returned to the Yunnan Palace. Liu Jingyue felt dizzy, not knowing whether it was because of drinking or because she got up too early, so she said to Dugu Jingyao: "Sister, I'm so sleepy, I'll go back and sleep for a while."
Dugu Jingyao naturally agreed, and said with a light "hmm": "Well, go ahead, I'll go back and rest for a while."
Back at Meixiang Pavilion, Dugu Jingyao instructed Shijian, "Shijian, you and Xunfeng go to the shop and see if there's anything they can help with or if anything has happened. If anyone's causing trouble, handle it if you can. If not, come back and let me know."
Shi Jian responded respectfully, and then she and Si Jian retreated together.
However, the reality wasn't as bad as Dugu Jingyao had imagined. Business was booming, with a constant stream of customers. The sheer number of customers kept the women busy, so they had to bring in Shi Jian and Xun Feng to help. Shi Jian was in charge of sales, while Xun Feng maintained order outside the store, controlling the flow of people and calling out numbers.
After a long day of work, the women workers were exhausted. The saleswomen's voices had grown hoarse, their legs numb and unable to bend. The three women in charge of makeup were so busy that their hands trembled. Despite this, they persisted in their work, giving their all to satisfy every customer.
After all, when the restaurant opened, Mei Zijie's good example as a promotion was really irresistible. Who could miss this free experience opportunity?
Fortunately, since makeup takes a long time, not everyone who received the free trial coupons immediately chose to try the service. Otherwise, if everyone tried it on the spot, I guess we wouldn't be able to rest today.
Although it was hard work, the harvest was also fruitful. After everything was almost cleaned up, Liu Ruyan returned to Dugu Mansion with the female workers.
Back in the room, everyone washed up early, massaged each other, and fell asleep. Meanwhile, Liu Ruyan began to count the accounts. The more she went on, the more delighted she became.
Unexpectedly, the sales on the first day of opening were equivalent to the sales of the previous garment shop in about half a month! Liu Ruyan was so happy that she could hardly sleep. She wanted to share this news with the other female workers immediately, but after thinking about it, she decided to get a good rest today and tell everyone the good news at breakfast tomorrow.
So Liu Ruyan also washed up and rested, and soon fell into a sweet dream.
At the Yunnan Palace, Dugu Jingyao and Liu Jingyue were both delighted when they heard Shi Jian's report.
"That's great. I'll think about holding an event every month. That way, our reputation will spread quickly! We can also go back and reunite with our father earlier!" Liu Jingyue said with a smile.
Dugu Jingyao's smile widened when she heard Liu Jingyue's words. She continued, "Yes, it's been about a month since Dad and the others left Chang'an. They should have arrived in Yunnan safely by now!"
As he was speaking, Si Jian came trotting in, bowed, and said, "My two princesses, I just received a letter from the prince."
The two exchanged glances upon hearing this, and Dugu Jingyao then looked at Si Jian and said, "Quick, bring the letter over here and show it to us!"
Si Jian walked up quickly and handed the letter to Dugu Jingyao, who opened the envelope.
The letter was filled with densely written words. Dugu Jingyao read every line carefully, and Liu Jingyue couldn't help but move closer to take a look.
After reading the letter, Dugu Jingyao smiled with relief. She turned to Liu Jingyue and said, "That's great. Daddy said in the letter that they have arrived safely in Yunnan and everything is fine. He told us not to worry and to take good care of ourselves."
Liu Jingyue clapped her hands happily after hearing this, tears glistening in her eyes as she said excitedly, "Great! They're finally here! Now we can rest assured."
Dugu Jingyao gently patted Liu Jingyue's hand and said softly, "Don't get too excited, Yue'er. Now that we know their news, we should put our minds at ease. We should continue to work hard on our business and strive to return to Yunnan and reunite with Daddy as soon as possible."
Liu Jingyue nodded, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said firmly: "Yes, sister is right. We must work hard and not let Dad down."
The two smiled at each other, their hearts filled with hope and motivation.
