They did not come to the shop for a few days. When Su Zhi arrived with the two children, the help in the shop were all astonished.

Li Yi was the first to drop the account book and run up to Su Zhi. He looked her up and down before letting out a sigh of relief. ”Thank God, Little Su. It's good that you're fine.”

”Yeah, boss, everyone's worried when they heard that something happened to you.” Qiu Hong stepped forward with a smile.

Su Zhi was a kind-hearted person. She would never so easily criticize others, and that was when the shop assistant committed a mistake. As long as it was not important, she would just kindly persuade them.

For so long, Hua Manlou and company had been very fond of this new owner.

”Thanks for your concern, today is the last day of business for the new year. Let me see if there's anything I can help with.”

Li Yi returned to the counter and presented the account book to Su Zhi like a treasure. ”Little Su, take a look. The income's really good these two days. Why don't we delay the holidays? There's still three days until New Year's Eve.”

Su Zhi took the account book and gently shook her head. ”How can the promised vacation be delayed? Besides, there are still people who are not from Xuan City in the store, so it won't be easy to go back. It's settled like this. Today's holiday will be ready after work.”

The main boss had already announced it. All the employees below were grinning from ear to ear. On the other side, the hundred scents of the Qing Xiang were not closed until New Year's Eve.

In comparison, Flower Mansion was much more human-like. Furthermore, there was also the year-end benefits and bonuses that the shopkeeper personally offered. Like this, they had truly come across a huge bargain.

With a guarantee, the shop assistant worked even harder.

Satisfied, Su Zhi brought her two children up to the third floor.

”Boss, the business on the third floor is still in a mess these two days. Several large families have dragged their maidservants over to purchase some things.”

”Hmm, what's the best item for sale?”

”Jade Face Paste and Almond Mountain Tea Hand Cream.”

This was also within Su Zhi's expectation. It was a severe winter and cold, making the skin the easiest to dry. The sales of high-moisture products would also be higher.

”I got it, let's go up and see if there's anything we can replenish. You can go to the yard to pick some aloes and bring them up to me.”

Qiuhong nodded, brought some green aloe vera, two or three white plum blossoms, and put a charcoal brazier in the compartment before leaving.

Su Zhi began to get busy as A Jin strolled around the boutique next door with a small bean bag.

It was unknown when it started snowing again, and ice was forming under the eaves of the house.

Qiu Hong used a bamboo pole to clean up the ice pillar that might break at any time. When her eyes glanced around the yard, she found that a man had appeared at the gate where she had not seen him for a long time.

The person held up a light green oil-paper umbrella. The bamboo umbrella tilted slightly, hiding his face. The only thing he saw was a man wearing a large grey robe, with an ink-colored shirt lining. His feet landed silently on the ground, appearing as if they were treading on snow from the sky.

”Hello, young master. Are you here to help the madam collect the items?” Qiu Hong quickly put down the bamboo pole in her hands and went up to welcome her with a smile.

Flowery Restaurant's third floor didn't receive any male guests, but since there weren't any, it wouldn't be a problem for them to receive any. Judging from the wolf fur mattress, a man's body was worth a lot of money. Who knows, he might even be able to take on some big business.

”Thank you, I would like to buy some small items for my wife.”

Qiu Hong quickly went up to welcome him. ”This way, please.”

The man put away his oil-paper umbrella, revealing a young face that looked to be about twenty-four or twenty-five years old. He had a pair of elegant almond-shaped eyes, and at the corner of his left eye was a teardrop.

What surprised Qiu Hong was not the man's outstanding looks, but his graceful bearing and the noble aura that he was born with.

The two of them went up to the attic. Qiu Hong was about to ask, but the man laughed first. ”The weather is so cold. Can I trouble you to get me a cup of hot tea?”
