Ye Chutang came out to greet him.
Seeing the elderly man dressed in a bright red brocade robe, full of energy, a smile appeared on her face.
“Elder Yin, you have arrived.”
Yin Shaoting looked around and couldn’t help but let out a sigh.
“Have you been staying here all this time? Don’t you find it boring?”
Feiyun Temple is no ordinary place; Emperor Taizong once prayed and offered sacrifices here, and the successive abbots have all been highly respected masters with esteemed status.
Ordinary people might not even be able to enter the inner chambers of this temple.
Yin Shaoting’s words were indeed bold, but he was by nature carefree and unrestrained, not caring much about such rules. Ye Chutang was already accustomed to his manner, so she just smiled in response.
“The Buddhist community is peaceful; it’s indeed a rare place for tranquility.”
Yin Shaoting seemed to remember something and laughed, teasingly saying, “Indeed! Since you returned to the capital, this should be the most tranquil time for you, right?”
During their light-hearted conversation, it was clear that he was well aware of Ye Chutang’s experiences since her return to the capital, and there was even a hint of schadenfreude in his voice.
“What did I tell you before? To not come back, so as not to get into trouble! You didn’t listen, and now look at what’s happened.”
Ye Chutang invited him to sit down; a tea set was already prepared on the table, and a faint fragrance of tea leaves still lingered in the air.
Knowing he would come today, she had prepared tea early in the morning.
Yin Shaoting glanced down at it with regret: “You insisted on coming here, yet there’s not even proper tea leaves; it’s a waste of your excellent skills.”
He had longed to drink the tea brewed by Ye Chutang herself, but she had always been busy before, so he hadn’t taken the opportunity to visit.
Now that they finally met, the conditions were so simple! It was truly infuriating!
Ye Chutang didn’t mind at all; she poured him tea and, looking at the tender leaves floating in the clear liquid, she spoke slowly:
“Did you come today just for this taste of tea?”
Yin Shaoting choked slightly.
He looked up at Ye Chutang again and snorted, “I say you’re smart, yet you keep pushing yourself into trouble without hesitation. But if I were to call you foolish, then you truly have a discerning mind that can’t be deceived by anything!”
The first time he met Ye Chutang, he knew she was an extremely intelligent woman.
She understood many things quickly and could draw conclusions from one instance; it seemed there was nothing that could perturb her. Everything was always under her control.
Whether it was the timing of her return to the capital or all that happened afterward…
Ye Chutang smiled without saying a word, patiently waiting for him to speak.
Finally, Yin Shaoting couldn’t hold back any longer and picked up his teacup: “Your businesses are gradually getting off the ground now.”
“Oh?” Ye Chutang’s voice rose at the end, seeming surprised, but there was no sign of agitation in her eyes; clearly, she had anticipated all this.
Yin Shaoting didn’t beat around the bush and told her about the situation in the capital during that time.
“Câu lạc bộ trà thì không cần phải nói gì nữa, với sự dẫn đầu của Tang Zhongli, có rất nhiều học giả và nhà văn theo đuổi. Còn với những cửa hàng khác, tình hình thậm chí còn tốt hơn nhiều so với dự đoán.”
Khi nhắc đến điều này, Yin Shaoting cũng không khỏi ngạc nhiên.
Mặc dù anh và Ye Chutang đã quen biết nhau từ lâu, nhưng trước đây anh thực sự không nhận ra rằng cô ấy lại là một người giỏi kinh doanh đến thế.
Ye Chutang mỉm cười nhẹ nhàng: “Nói ra thì, tôi cũng phải cảm ơn những người quản lý mà anh đã giới thiệu cho tôi. Nếu không có họ chăm chỉ quản lý, có lẽ những cửa hàng của tôi vẫn sẽ tiếp tục lỗ vốn.”
Ngay cả A Yan và A Feng cũng không biết rằng, khi cô ấy đăng thông báo tuyển dụng, thực ra chỉ là một hành động hình thức mà thôi.
– Cô ấy đã sớm chọn được những người đủ năng lực để giúp mình từ trước rồi.
