He expressed his extreme dissatisfaction, saying, "Auntie Qing, I believe I've devoted countless efforts to the Butterfly Pavilion over these years, having to manage everything myself. What possible reason could they have for rejecting me, a mere shopkeeper?"
Without uttering another word, Li Ye moved forward to address the chattering shopkeeper. "Shopkeeper Hu."
"Present!" Shopkeeper Hu hurriedly followed after them.
It remained unclear how Li Ye admonished the elderly shopkeeper, but Shopkeeper Hu soon began to cooperate more smoothly.
The original accountant of Butterfly Pavilion also obediently accompanied Mister Hong to settle their accounts.
Qiao Mu gestured towards two managing aunties and seven to eight agile young girls to inspect the older maids and workers within Butterfly Pavilion.
There was no need to dismiss the assistants who were in charge of food and dishwashing.
