Chapter 1159 - 1164: Green-faced (4)
Seeing Cai Wei had arrived, Zhao Yun said with a blossom of joy, "Miss, you’re finally here! Our shops were all built more than ten days ago, and those shops you promised to Tuoba Liang have already opened for business. We haven’t started anything here yet; we’re just waiting for you to make the decisions!"
Cai Wei laughed and said, "What’s the hurry? The house was just built and needs to be aired out for a few days before moving in, otherwise, the dampness inside is not good for one’s health!"
Zhao Yun said, "It’s too late to say that now, Miss. I, the people from the Du family, and the more than a hundred people sent by the Crown Prince have all moved in!" Being far away in Lingbei, Zhao Yun was still unaware that Nangong Yi had ascended to the throne, so she continued to refer to Nangong Yi as the Crown Prince.
"Nangong Yi sent people over?"
Without explaining that the Crown Prince was now the Emperor, Cai Wei asked excitedly, "Who did he send, and how long have they been here?" She was delighted—Nangong Yi had indeed helped her as he had casually mentioned. With these people, plus some things she had stored in her space, her shops would quickly open a large batch!
Zhao Yun said, "Most of them are skilled workers—doctors, chefs, embroiderers, shoemakers, a wide variety of professions. Half of all possible trades are represented! It’s just, now that we have people, Miss, when shall we open the shops?"
Cai Wei said, "I plan to start with an inn soon, so you’ll also have a place to stay. Then open a jade shop, a medical center, a rice shop, a fabric store, and also a few restaurants..."
Zhao Yun took out the commercial street plan for Cai Wei to see. On the plan, about one-third of the shops were marked with check marks. Cai Wei understood that these checked shops must be the ones picked by Tuoba Liang. Thankfully, Tuoba Liang had been decent enough not to just pick the central prime locations; he had chosen evenly among the shops he was entitled to.
Zhao Yun said, "Miss, you first need to decide where you want to locate the shops you just mentioned. Additionally, how do you plan to manage the several hundred remaining shops? Are you going to keep them all to open our shops?"
