Chapter 212 Family Business 2
The mother watched her daughter go out happily. She couldn't close her eyes to rest. She got up and leaned on the cushions, calling out to the outer room, "Qingmei."
Qingmei hurriedly entered the room and answered, "Madam."
"Tell me, how has the young lady been doing these years? Has she been wronged? Are the two children doing well these years?"
The mother hesitated, her face full of concern.
Qingmei took a few steps towards the bed, leaned down slightly, and said softly:
"Madam, you don't have to worry about Miss. In the past six years, Miss has expanded her business to the entire Daqi. I won't tell you how much money she has made. At least Miss now has more than 10 businesses that have dividends from cooperating with the clan.
I bought two manors the year before last, and two more last year. This year, when I heard that you were coming back, I bought another manor for the young master..."
"Did she really earn all this money herself? She spent money so lavishly, and the old lady didn't care about her?"
"Madam, you haven't been in the mansion for the past few years, so you don't know that the old lady treats the young lady like the apple of her eye. No matter whether it is the old lady or the master, the young lady is the one they love the most now. I'm afraid that in the hearts of the master and the old lady, even Master Wendong can't compete with the young lady."
The mother asked again doubtfully:
"Qingmei, what are you doing for the young lady?"
"I am now helping the young lady manage the finance office. I am responsible for counting the money before it goes into the warehouse. I also need to keep separate accounts. I have two maids under me, who are mainly responsible for counting the money with me. I am only responsible for supervision."
"Just now I heard Jin'er say that she made some money?!"
“Madam, I shouldn’t have said this, but what I can tell you is that the young lady did make some money.
A while ago, the young lady reconciled the accounts, counted the treasury silver, and discussed it with the master and the old lady. It seemed that there was some project that required money!
Madam, you don’t know that the master now values the young lady very much. Every time he comes back from the ten-day holiday, he will chat with the old lady and the young lady while drinking tea, and they can chat until very late! "
"What about Wendong? Is Wendong doing well in the past six years? Does his grandfather still like him?"
"Madam, please ask the young master. The young lady protects the young master very well and specially puts people around him to protect the young master. In the past two years, the young lady has been studying with the young master during the ten-day holidays at home. I heard from the old lady that the young lady did this to encourage the young master to read good books..."
"Qingmei, I just saw that the young lady had several personnel rosters. How many people are there in our second house now?"
"Ma'am, don't be surprised when I tell you this, there are nearly 40 people working in our courtyard, and these are just the ones working in the backyard.
There are more people in the outer courtyard, I don’t know exactly how many people there are, the list is in the hands of Wenbai.”
"What do they do?"
"There are people working for the young lady in several farms around the city, as well as people from the Taisheng Rice Shop. The young lady also bought a small house in the city. There are about 30 to 40 people in charge of these things."
“There are so many people!”
"More than that. I estimate that the young lady has about 100 to 200 people under her command."
"What? Jin'er now has more than 100 people under her!"
"That's right, Madam. The exact number of people is in the hands of the two stewards in the outer courtyard. Miss will ask them to come and see you. We have held a meeting in advance."
"Meeting?"
"Yes! Before you came back, the young lady sorted things out again and said that she wanted to add two departments. I really didn't remember, but from what the young lady said, there are too few people who can manage things and take charge of things independently. She wants to open a school to train managers in the small house she just bought..."
"Oh, is there such a thing? Do the master and the old lady know about it?"
"I think she knows. In the past few years, Miss has always informed Master about everything she does, and Master will actively help Miss with her advice!"
"Miss, have you started any new business in the past few years?"
"New business? No, the lady said that would be a waste of manpower. There is no need to spend too much energy on it?
The lady has put most of her energy into opening new Tai Sheng Rice Shop chain stores in various places!"
"Chain store? What is a chain store?"
"I heard from the lady that she has opened small shops all over the country. They are all her own and sell the same things. I think that's what she means."
"I saw Jin'er opened a sewing room and set up two groups. What are they doing?"
"Oh, the sewing room makes all kinds of fashion items according to the young lady's designs, that is, bags, shoes, special accessories, and other things."
"Jin'er divided the people into two groups. Does she need so many people? Does she have so much work to do now?"
“Madam, you don’t know that after the young lady finished drawing the picture, she asked Zhao to make a series according to the drawing, and then asked the two groups to make different series into different finished products.
You haven't seen them, they are busy. It seems that they have received orders from Shangjing City recently. After they are finished, they will send them to the tribe, and sometimes people from the tribe will come to pick them up.
Often, we just send out a batch and then another one comes in for an order. We are busy until very late every day. Today, the sewing room is rushing to finish the work.”
"How can our second house accommodate so many people?"
"Madam, I forgot to tell you that the young lady has set up a sewing room and a workshop, and also needs a warehouse for materials and finished products. There are also some technicians that the young lady hired into the mansion, and the master and the old lady specially built a new courtyard for them.
A piece of land was split behind the yard of our second room, and two back courtyards were built. A door was opened in the back wall of our second room, connecting to the two courtyards, the needlework room and the Zhen workshop.
Now the young lady is also using the Third Master's yard! Madam, don't worry, the master agreed..."
The master and servant were talking animatedly when there were knocks on the door of the second courtyard. The mother threw off the quilt, straightened her clothes and went out. She saw her youngest son, Wang Wenxin, staggering into the courtyard from behind the screen wall, followed by Wang Wendong.
The mother frowned slightly when she saw that no one had come in after her two children, wondering why her husband hadn't come back.
Wang Wenxin didn't feel any strangeness and ran madly in the yard, shouting as he ran:
"Mother, mother, this yard is so beautiful. I want to live in it."
The mother was about to answer with a smile when she heard someone from the west wing come out and shout to her brother:
"Wen Xin, come to my sister's place. I have prepared a gift for you."
The younger brother looked over in the direction of the voice, tilting his head and staring at her in a trance. Wang Jinyi was worried that he would be a stranger to her because it was her first time meeting her younger brother, so she wanted to get closer to him:
"Wen Xin, I am..."
Before Wang Jinyi introduced herself, the little brother pointed at Wang Jinyi and shouted:
"I know who you are, you're the monster!"
The father who had just stepped into the door was a little anxious. He took a few quick steps, picked up Wang Wenxin, and scolded her with a hint of anger:
"Who told you to be so rude as to give your sister such a stupid nickname?"
