Dou Momo confidently said, "Of course it works, my girl, rest assured, leave this matter to me. As long as you cooperate, I guarantee that when the master returns, you will definitely...hehe..."
Dou Momo’s smile was ominous and meaningful. Cai Wei understood, her face flushing as she replied, "Alright, I’ll go. Huan Qiu, you stay outside the door. No matter who comes, just say I’m sleeping and don’t let them disturb me."
Huan Qiu abandoned her tasks and walked over, guarding Cai Wei’s door with a serious demeanor.
Cai Wei glanced around guiltily. Not seeing Mom, Fei’er, Xiao Qing, or Xiao Hong, she assumed they were making dim sum in the back kitchen. She followed Dou Momo into her room for a massage...
She wanted to develop quickly, and he thought the same...
Early the next morning, just after Cai Wei had woken up and was sitting at her dressing table getting ready, Old Madame Wang sent Hua Mei over with a box.
The box wasn’t large and wasn’t heavy to hold. Upon opening it, she found it filled with a thick stack of silver bills, each one a thousand taels, twelve in total.
Cai Wei picked up the silver bill and laughed, "Hehe". The old Madame was always stingy, to give away such a large amount of money must have her heart bleeding inside. However, the amount of money was insignificant compared to the hardship her grandmother endured. Therefore, she didn’t plan to let her get away with this.
Breakfast at Duke An’s mansion was luxurious with eight dishes and one soup now that Cai Wei had become a princess. It was quite rich.
After eating a vegetarian bun and half a bowl of purple rice porridge, Cai Wei was full. She planned to take Huan Qiu to the street to continue looking for a dessert shop when Mu Zhongqing suddenly said, "Wei’er, a young man surnamed Mo came to the restaurant last night claiming to meet you. Your dad told him to come again this morning. Will you go and see?"
Upon hearing this, Cai Wei knew it was Mo Liancheng and told her parents about their encounter.
Lady Du was soft-hearted. Upon hearing of Mo Liancheng’s plight, she was immediately moved to tears. Mu Zhongqing also admired Mo Liancheng’s integrity and discussed with his daughter, "Wei’er, why don’t we find this child some work in our restaurant?"
Cai Wei laughed and said, "I was planning to open a dessert shop and was worrying about management. Since he happened to be here, let’s give him the dessert shop to manage!"
"What? You’re going to open another dessert shop?" Lady Du asked.
Cai Wei said, "Our desserts are now the best in the capital, but they sell out every day. Since this is the case, why don’t we open a specialty shop to expand our production scale and commercialize our dim sum?"
Mu Zhongqing said, "Wei’er is right. In our inn, every day there are guests complaining about not being able to buy our dim sums. I have also thought about opening a specialty dim sum shop, but there were also many things to take care of in the inn so I gave up the idea."
Cai Wei said, "The Huo family is wealthy all over the world. If each shop were managed by them, they would have died of exhaustion. We should learn from their management mode, find suitable management talent, hand over the shops to them for management, and we only need to perform supervisory functions."
Mu Zhongqing agreed with his daughter’s unique opinion, was impressed with her ideas and, trusting her, let go and left the dim sum shop matter to her.
