Chapter 258 The Princess is Good at Recruiting Talents
Before the banquet started, every household came to give Lin Yue gifts, saying that they wanted to make up for the gifts she gave on her wedding.
Lin Yue refused to accept it.
The village chief has spoken!
"Ayue, just accept it! The gifts you bring to everyone are a token of your heart, and the gifts everyone prepares for you are also a token of their heart. This is a blessing, and you can't refuse it!"
Lin Yue and Ye Yin looked at each other.
"Okay! Then we'll take it!"
Then he arranged for Madam Ge to accept the gifts from the villagers.
When the banquet was about to begin, another carriage arrived from Yejia Village.
When Lin Yue heard that they were looking for her, she felt a little surprised, because she didn't have many friends here except the people in the village.
Unexpectedly, she recognized the man as soon as he came over!
"Manager Zhang? Why is it you?"
The person who came was the shopkeeper Zhang from Tianxiang Pavilion in Luohe Town. Lin Yue's initial source of income came from his help.
"Madam Lin! Oh! No, I should call you Princess of the Southwest! I apologize for disturbing you."
Shopkeeper Zhang was very excited to see Lin Yue.
"I have a distant relative who worked at Tianxiang Pavilion for a while. Later, he returned to the capital and met you. Naturally, he learned about your deeds and wrote to me to tell me everything! I am truly fortunate to have met you!"
"I heard you were back, so I thought I'd come over to congratulate you and ask for a glass of wedding wine!"
The gift brought by Manager Zhang was quite valuable. It was a small jewelry box containing a set of exquisite head ornaments, a small object with very good meaning, and a pair of palm-sized golden ruyi made of solid gold, with very delicate workmanship.
It seems that Manager Zhang put a lot of thought into this gift. People who do business are good at networking, and he is no exception. Some connections would be wasted if he didn't make connections!
"Shopkeeper Zhang, I'm sorry to have cost you so much! Are you still the shopkeeper at Tianxiang Pavilion? How's business?"
What Lin Yue meant by this was to see if he needed any help. If he was still in Tianxiang Pavilion, the villagers could ask him for help when they needed some wild game or mountain products in the future, which would be a form of mutual assistance.
Shopkeeper Zhang waved his hand, a trace of disappointment on his face. "Tianxiang Pavilion has changed its owner! Now I'm idle at home and plan to rest for a while."
Oh, I see.
Lin Yue glanced around and saw Liu Cheng, and waved to him quickly.
"I just bought a restaurant and I'm short of staff right now. I wonder if Manager Zhang would be interested in joining me?"
Shopkeeper Zhang's eyes lit up when he heard this. He had originally come to congratulate Lin Yue, after all, they were acquaintances, and it was a great opportunity to expand his network. He hadn't expected Lin Yue to directly invite him to work for her! This truly thrilled and moved him!
Seeing Liu Cheng coming over, Shopkeeper Zhang felt that the person in front of him seemed familiar.
"Is this... Mr. Liu from Sifang Building?"
They are all in the same industry, and Luohe Town is not far from Qingzhou City. It is possible that Shopkeeper Zhang knows Liu Cheng or has seen him before. Although the two have never met, it does not prevent Shopkeeper Zhang from recognizing him!
Lin Yue hurriedly introduced Liu Cheng.
"This is Shopkeeper Zhang, the former shopkeeper of Tianxiang Pavilion in town. I met him when I first started doing business. Shopkeeper Zhang is considered my benefactor."
"I don't deserve it! Princess, you think too highly of me!"
Shopkeeper Zhang quickly bowed and declined. He was just doing business seriously, but he met Lin Yue, who has now become his benefactor.
"Is Master Liu also working for the princess now?"
Liu Cheng had roughly guessed what Lin Yue meant, so he smiled in relief, "I'm no longer the owner of Sifang Tower. It's now renamed Wangyue Tower. The owner is the princess, and I'm just her steward! I'm responsible for running Wangyue Tower for her!"
"I heard that Tianxiang Tower has changed its owner. If Manager Zhang is unemployed, why not come to Wangyue Tower?"
Liu Cheng knew that Tianxiang Pavilion was the best restaurant in Luohe Town. No matter the size of the place, a well-run restaurant must have its strengths. Learning from others' strengths was what Liu Cheng insisted on over the years.
Shopkeeper Zhang was both surprised and impressed.
As expected of the former owner of Sifang Building, Liu Cheng even got the news about a small Tianxiang Pavilion in the town in a timely manner, which made him extremely impressed!
"Liu Dong... Manager Liu is truly well-informed. No wonder I said Sifanglou was doing fine, so why did they close for a month? So that's exactly what happened!"
He had originally thought that Sifanglou was just like Tianxiang Pavilion, with a new owner. He hadn't expected the owner to change, not just the person, but also someone he knew! How could he not know Wangyuelou? They had branches in every major state, and now that Lin Yue was the owner, he felt an inexplicable surge of excitement, as if Wangyuelou was going to do something big!
He immediately responded to the olive branches extended by the two.
"I, Zhang, thank you for your kindness, Princess. It is my honor to work for you. However, I think Wangyue Tower should have more than just this shop. If I want to follow you, I need to go home and discuss it with my wife. If my wife agrees, my whole family will serve you!"
Hearing this, Lin Yue felt a little more admiration for Shopkeeper Zhang.
There aren't many people who can discuss everything with Madam, especially since she's in a different position now! Shopkeeper Zhang didn't agree immediately, but was very rational and thought long-term. He's a good person!
"Okay! Then I'll wait for news from Shopkeeper Zhang!"
Having said that, Liu Cheng invited him to have some drinks. However, Shopkeeper Zhang was in high spirits. After chatting with Liu Cheng for a while, he ate a little hastily and was anxious to go back to discuss the matter with his wife, so he left the table early!
The next morning, they personally replied to the letter, saying that their whole family was willing to follow Lin Yue to the southwest and obey the arrangements.
Ye Yin said sourly, "I didn't expect you to be quite talented in networking!"
"This is also relying on your power! What do you think? Will you give in?"
Seeing the seductive eyes of the person in front of him, Ye Yin emotionally grabbed the person's hand and placed it on his chest.
"Princess, you can take advantage of others' power as you please!"
Lin Yue bit him and asked who was the dog!
When she came to the door, someone turned over and pressed her under him without any hesitation. After a while, the room was filled with spring scenery and it seemed as if a storm was about to come.
After a while, the clouds and rain stopped.
Lin Yue leaned against his chest and drew circles with her fingers.
"Oh, by the way, at the banquet yesterday, some people in the village had some concerns, but they were too embarrassed to speak up. Later, I found Qin Shu and learned that the young people in the village didn't want to stay in the village and wanted to come with us. What do you think? Is there anything you can do for them?"
The villagers were reluctant to speak up, so they passed the matter on to Qin Shu, who naturally passed it on to Lin Yue! Lin Yue was currently discussing this matter with Ye Yin.
"If they want to join the army, they can join the Southwest Army. If they want to do business, they can follow Liu Cheng. However, I remember that they have some kung fu skills. If they all leave! Who will be responsible for the safety of the village!"
"Although things are peaceful now, with someone like you in Ye Village, you will definitely attract a lot of attention in the future. If there are no young people to keep the people in check, and only the elderly, weak, women and children are left, they will be easily bullied!"
Ye Yin was right, Lin Yue had actually thought of this as well.
Not only did Yejia Village produce a princess, but it will also have the contribution of sweet potatoes in the future. The court will definitely issue an imperial decree to reward it. Coupled with the workshop, it will definitely attract envy.
