Chapter 1514: Chapter 1514: Who Made the Introduction?

Wei Ronghua was momentarily taken aback by her words, unsure of how to respond.

After a brief pause, he chuckled and said, “I appreciate that Monarch Lu Xiang sees potential in me. Indeed, I am in need of a job to sustain myself. However, the matter of becoming a shopkeeper needs to be discussed clearly. Accepting without understanding would be irresponsible towards Monarch Lu Xiang.”

Shu Yu nodded, “Manager Wei makes a valid point. I already have a basic understanding of Manager Wei. As you might have guessed, my disguise as a woman at the Red Cake shop yesterday had a purpose. After these two days of interaction, I find you well-suited for my shop. Although Manager Wei may not know much about me, feel free to ask any questions.”

She really liked Wei Ronghua’s attitude, as it showed he was sincere.

Wei Ronghua exhaled, forming a preliminary impression of Shu Yu. This Monarch Lu Xiang was clearly a reasonable and approachable person.

“Then, if I may be so bold,” Wei Ronghua said.

Shu Yu set down her teacup, smiling at him.

Wei Ronghua paused for a moment, then asked, “What does Monarch Lu Xiang’s shop sell, what are its unique features, and where is it located?”

“Our shop primarily sells sunflower oil, melon seeds, and instant noodles. We might add other products later, but it’s uncertain for now. These are all rare items; apart from those produced by Lu’s Workshop, no other places offer them. As for distinguishing features, the sunflower oil is mainly purchased by the Imperial Palace, while melon seeds are sold at the Passion Fruit Shop in the capital.”

Wei Ronghua’s grip tightened; they had already reached the capital and… the Imperial Palace?

No wonder Monarch Lu Xiang said her shop was three times larger than the Red Cake shop.

At the entrance, Wei Fangfang widened her eyes and grew slightly excited upon hearing this.

After all, when her father was a shopkeeper in the prefecture, the shop was quite large, but it definitely did not reach the heights of selling in the capital or the Imperial Palace like Monarch Lu Xiang’s.

If her father really worked at Monarch Lu Xiang’s shop, it would certainly allow him to use his skills better.

Wei Fangfang was eager to accept on her father’s behalf, but she knew she couldn’t interrupt at this moment.

Fortunately, there was a commotion at the yard gate. She looked up to see Hu Geng entering with a bundle.

The bundle contained some daily essentials her father had left at the Red Cake shop.

Wei Fangfang quickly stood up, rushing to Hu Geng to explain the situation excitedly.

Hu Geng’s breath stopped after listening, “Are you serious?”

Wei Fangfang nodded repeatedly, pulling Hu Geng to sit down outside the living room to listen.

Ying Xi stood at the door, not blocking them, since these matters weren’t confidential.

Inside, Shu Yu continued, “Originally, Lu’s had a shop in Jiangyuan County, but due to the limited output of the workshop earlier, the shop was quite small and never expanded, although business was good. However, my intention for the Lu’s in the prefecture was to establish a reputation, hence I am very careful about selecting a shopkeeper.”

Wei Ronghua listened and nodded, gaining a general understanding of Lu’s.

Shu Yu had said all she needed to; other details could naturally be known once Wei Ronghua became Lu’s shopkeeper.

Wei Ronghua had actually agreed inwardly but had one last question.

“Previously, Monarch Lu Xiang mentioned coming to Donggu County specifically to find me based on someone’s recommendation. I wonder who that person is.”
