The men hadn't expected a raise. It was a pleasant surprise, and one by one, they eagerly promised to manage the shops well.
Gu Fei then pointed to Gu Erlang and said, "This is my second brother. He's never been involved in business matters before. From now on, he will go to the shops every day. I hope you shopkeepers will teach him."
Gu Erlang stepped forward and cupped his fist in salute to the shopkeepers.
The shopkeepers all said, "We will certainly do our best to teach the Second Young Master well."
After giving her instructions, Gu Fei dismissed the shopkeepers.
Once outside, the shopkeepers exchanged knowing glances and headed to a nearby teahouse.
They got a private room. The manager of the silver building, Manager Zhang, began mysteriously, "Do you two know who this Miss Gu is?"
The other two shook their heads. "We don't."
Manager Zhang smiled. "You may not, but I do."
