After traveling through time, I was spotted by the new emperor

Chapter 128 It’s like he’s making arrangements for his final affairs!

When leaving Qi Wushuang's bedroom the next day, Ye Wuwei noticed several tails following him.

Ye Wuwei smiled:

This was because Qi Wushuang was worried that he would secretly run to the north alone, so he specially arranged people to keep an eye on him.

But they were discovered so easily by me. Is it because their tracking skills are poor or they don’t care if I know?

Ye Wuwei first went to the yard he bought.

Today is the opening day of Amway’s main store.

Ye Lingling and the others had already prepared this place, and were just waiting to open it after Qi Wushuang's coronation ceremony.

When Ye Wuwei arrived, he saw many flower baskets and ribbons placed in front of the Amway headquarters, almost filling up the streets on both sides.

Ye Wuwei casually glanced at a name card on the flower basket: Congratulations from Minister Qi of the Ministry of Revenue.

Was it given by Qi Guangren?

Ye Wuwei picked up a business card from a flower basket next to him: Congratulations from Hu Du Yushi of the Censorate.

Hu Zhiwei?

Ye Wuwei looked at the business cards on more than a dozen flower baskets in succession, all of which were from officials in the court congratulating the new store on its opening.

Ye Wuwei found the busy Ye Lingling:

"Lingling, what's going on with the flower basket outside?"

The first thing Ye Lingling asked when she saw Ye Wuwei was, "Brother Ye, why are you wearing a mask?"

"I have a cold and I'm afraid I'll infect you."

Ye Lingling believed it and handed the account book to Ye Wuwei:

"This lists the names of the people who came to give gifts today and the amount of their gifts. Take a look first."

After saying this, Ye Lingling added:

"This is Xiao He's account. She's been helping out in the shop lately and is also learning how to write and keep accounts from me."

After saying that, Ye Lingling went to busy herself with greeting other guests.

Ye Wuwei opened the account book. Although the handwriting inside was not very good, it was very neat and the accounts recorded were also clear.

Ye Wuyi looked along the way and saw that there were no less than a hundred people coming to give gifts, most of them were officials in the court and aristocratic families of the Qi family.

Not only Chu Fuchi, Nie Youren, Qi Cheng, and Qi Yushen sent gifts, but even Chen Shusheng, Xiao Chen, and Qi Yushen's two brothers-in-law sent gifts.

Not only flower baskets but also cash gifts were sent.

The amount of gifts given by Chu Fuchi and others was not too bad and did not put any pressure on Ye Wuwei, but some were different.

For example, Ye Wuwei saw several people giving gifts of two hundred taels of silver, but he had no idea who the gift givers were?

Chu Jianghe also gave a gift of five hundred taels of silver.

Ye Wuwei and Chu Jianghe had no contact, so why did Chu Jianghe suddenly send such an expensive gift?

Could it be that you want to ask me for some help?

But wouldn’t it be better for him to ask Chu Fuchi for help if he has something to ask?

Even if he asks his cousin Qi Wushuang directly, it is better than asking an outsider like him in a roundabout way, right?

While Ye Wuwei was thinking, Xiaohe came over.

"Brother Ye."

Ye Wuwei looked at Xiao He. She was much more cheerful than before, and her behavior was no longer timid.

"I heard you've been helping out in the shop lately?"

"Ok.

I've discussed this with Lingling: She asked me to manage the store's finances and accounts, while she will focus on workshop production and store sales."

"That's fine too. You'll also have shares in the store."

Xiao He smiled embarrassedly: "At the beginning, I only took out a little silver, and did nothing else."

"It's not too late to start now. What about the job in the royal kitchen?"

"I've already quit."

Ye Wuwei hesitated for a moment: "Is someone bullying you?"

"no".

Xiao He hurriedly said:

"With the housekeeper looking after me, no one dares to bully me."

"Lingling said she was too busy and asked me to come and help her.

I thought the Imperial Kitchen wouldn't be a problem without me, and I could play a bigger role in the shop, so I quit my job in the Imperial Kitchen and came to the shop to help Lingling."

Having said this, Xiao He said to Ye Wuwei gratefully:

"Brother Ye, thank you for what you said to me last time. I am very happy working in the store now."

"You are indeed much more lively than before, which is good."

Ye Wuwei's words are sincere!

Xiao He smiled embarrassedly again and put down the gift box in her hand: "Someone came to give a gift again."

"Why are so many people giving gifts suddenly? I remember not many people gave gifts when the store first opened."

"That's because Brother Ye, your status is no longer what it used to be.

Before, you were just an unknown person in Chamdo, but now you are the most popular person around His Majesty."

The one who responded was Ye Lingling.

Ye Lingling came in after finishing her work outside.

"I've discussed this with Xiao He: the gifts we received today will not be counted into the store's account, but into your personal account, Brother Ye."

Ye Wuwei was about to speak when Ye Lingling said:

"These people are here to congratulate you, Brother Ye, so you need to return the favor.

There is no income recorded in the store accounts, but the expenses have to be paid out of your own pocket, Brother Ye.

Besides, I don’t know whose money I can accept and whose money I can’t.”

Ye Wuwei thought about it and decided not to be polite with Ye Lingling and the others.

Ye Wuwei pointed at the people who had given him two hundred taels of silver as gifts and asked, "Who are these people?"

"When they brought the gift over, I asked and found out they were suppliers of construction materials."

After hearing what Ye Lingling said, Ye Wuwei had a rough idea in his mind.

"Lingling, Xiaohe, please take care of these gifts and accounts for me. If any official in the court has any family problems, please remember to give gifts on my behalf."

"Brother Ye, don't you care?"

"I have official business and will be away from Chamdo for a while. I have no idea when I'll return. But you two must keep this a secret for me."

Hearing Ye Wuwei say this, Ye Lingling and Xiaohe agreed.

Ye Wuwei confessed one more thing:

"I won't live in the backyard anymore. I'll make it available for everyone to rest or live in."

"Brother Ye, where do you live?"

"I'm temporarily living in the Imperial Palace. His Majesty has allocated me a side hall. Once the residence in the west of the city is completed, it will become the Ye Mansion."

The prerequisite is that I can return safely from the north.

Hearing Ye Wuwei say this, Ye Lingling said:

"That's good too. Xiao He and I can move in here and keep watch at night."

"If you're keeping watch at night, remember to call a few more people along."

After giving a few more instructions, Ye Wuwei left.

After Ye Wuwei left, Xiao He asked Ye Lingling, "Do you think Brother Ye talked too much today?"

Ye Lingling's expression also grew more serious: "I think so too."

It's like he's making arrangements for his funeral!

But it’s hard to say this!
