My wife is number one in the world

Chapter 4257 When in Rome, do as the Romans do
Helene walked lightly to Kriek's side and gave her a slight bow with a respectful expression.

"Miss, the hot water is here."

Krij glanced sideways at the steaming kettle in Hailey's hand, smiled slightly, nodded gently, and then raised her slender arm to wave at the table in front of her.

"Okay, just put it down."

"Yes."

Hailey nodded respectfully, then gracefully placed the kettle she was carrying onto the table.

"Miss, would you like me to make you some tea?"

Upon hearing this, Krijk smiled and shook his head without hesitation.

"No need, I can do it myself. You can go back to rest."

"Yes, I understand." Hailey responded softly to Kriyko, then turned around and walked gracefully toward her little stool.

After the maid Hailey turned and left, Krijko gracefully stood up from the chair beneath her shapely buttocks, and with a smile in her eyes, glanced at Young Master Liu, Lei Jun, and Little Cutie.

"Uncle Liu, Uncle Lei, Sister Yue'er, what would you like to drink? Tea or coffee?"

Liu Mingzhi, Lei Jun, and Xiao Ke'ai heard Kriyiko's sweet and gentle question and responded with smiles.

"Yike, Uncle doesn't drink tea or coffee, just give me a cup of plain tea."

“Yike, your Uncle Liu and I will just have a cup of light tea.”

"Uncle, your Uncle Liu, your sister Yue'er, and I have been talking for a long time, and our throats are getting dry. A cup of tea is the perfect way to quench our thirst."

"Little sister Yike, I'd like a cup of coffee, half sugar."

Kriy heard the replies from Liu Dashao and the other two, and with a smile still on her face, she nodded slightly to them.

"Okay, Uncle Liu, please wait a moment, I'll be right back."

After saying that, she immediately lifted her lotus foot and walked straight to the counter a few steps away.

Liu Mingzhi glanced at Kriiko, who was walking towards the counter, and then turned his gaze directly to Kriiko's beautiful face.

"Moon, when did you start liking coffee?"

Hearing her father's curious question, the little cutie immediately opened her mouth slightly and replied in a sweet voice, "Good father, I don't particularly like drinking coffee, but I feel that coffee tastes pretty good, and I like to drink it occasionally for the novelty."

When in Rome, do as the Romans do!

Upon hearing his beloved daughter's gentle smile and reply, Liu Mingzhi nodded knowingly.

"Mmm, that's fine, as long as you like it."

As Young Master Liu and his daughter, Little Cutie, were talking softly, Kriy slowly stopped behind the counter. With her slender waist slightly bent, she took out four teacups that she carefully washed every day but never used and gently placed them on the tray beside her.

She then picked up a can of coffee and a can of sugar and placed them on the tray, then casually picked up the tray and walked towards the counter.

Soon, she gracefully returned to Liu Mingzhi, Lei Jun, and Xiao Ke'ai.

After carefully placing the tray in her delicate, fair hands onto the table, Kriike immediately began preparing with practiced ease.

Even though the four teacups on the tray were to be carefully washed every day, she still picked up the kettle next to her and rinsed the four teacups thoroughly.

A short while later.

Kriike first placed two cups of tea in front of Liu Mingzhi and Lei Jun, and then placed two cups of hot coffee, which were emitting a rich aroma, on the table in front of Xiao Ke'er and himself.

"Uncle Liu, Uncle Lei, please have some tea."

"Sister Yue'er, please have some coffee."

Upon hearing this, Liu Mingzhi nodded with a light laugh, while glancing up at Kriiko, who had just gracefully settled back into her seat opposite him.

"Yike, how's business at the shop?"

Kriy heard Young Master Liu ask her this question in a gentle voice. While stirring the fragrant hot coffee in her cup with a small spoon with her slender fingers, she looked back at Young Master Liu, who was sitting in the main seat, with a smile on her face.

"Uncle Liu, business is quite good in the morning and afternoon, but not so good at noon."

After all, most people are having lunch at home or somewhere else at this time!

Liu Mingzhi smiled knowingly and nodded, then turned slightly to look around the shop.

Inside the huge shop, besides Kriiko and her maid Hailey, there were three other servants.

At this moment, two of the three servants were quietly organizing the goods on the shelves, while the remaining servant was smiling and whispering something to the four or five customers on the left side of the shop.

After hearing the servants' account, the four or five customers nodded slightly with satisfied expressions.

Liu Mingzhi silently withdrew his gaze from surveying the general situation in the shop, and with a smile, gently tapped his fingers on the table.

The shop was relatively quiet, and the continuous, orderly soft sounds were quite clear.

“Yike, Uncle, I see that your shop has three floors. Is the first floor used for selling goods, and are the second and third floors also used for selling goods?”

Or is it that only the first floor is used for selling goods, while the second and third floors are used for storing them?

Upon hearing Young Master Liu's question, Kriy immediately parted her cherry lips slightly and replied in a sweet voice, "Uncle Liu, the second and third floors of the shop are the same as the first floor below, used to sell all kinds of goods."

However, compared to the goods on the first floor, the goods on the second and third floors of the shop are more valuable.

The prices of goods on the first, second, and third floors increase by one or two times, or even several times, with each additional floor.
The best goods in the entire shop were stored on the third floor.

The goods on the third floor include some of our own products, and some goods that others have entrusted to our shop for sale on their behalf. After the goods entrusted to our shop are sold, we will take a percentage of the profits.

When Liu Mingzhi asked him this question, Kerry was very frank and told Liu Mingzhi about the situation in his shop in detail without reservation.

After listening to Kliyko's sincere reply, Liu Mingzhi nodded with a knowing smile and picked up the tea that was no longer very hot from the table in front of him.

Immediately, he nodded slightly and sipped a small mouthful of tea from his cup.

"Yike, your shop is doing such a big business, but you only have three servants to help manage it. Are you able to handle it all?"

As soon as Liu Mingzhi said those words, Kriyke immediately let out a few soft laughs.

"Hehehe, Uncle Liu, you don't know this, but my daughter's shop has more than just these three servants."

There are more than a dozen servants on these three floors!

However, since there weren't many guests during the midday period, my daughter suggested that they go to the inner courtyard at the back for lunch or to rest.

When there are more customers in the afternoon, they will naturally come out to help serve the tourists.

As soon as Krijko finished explaining with a light laugh, Liu Mingzhi immediately nodded in understanding.

"I see, I see."

"Uncle, I saw that besides Yike and your maid, there were only three servants in the shop. I thought there were only three servants in this huge shop!"
"Hehehe, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. It was your uncle who misunderstood."

Upon hearing what Young Master Liu said, Kriy immediately smiled and said sweetly, "Uncle Liu, it's normal, it's normal, it's perfectly normal."

If I were you, upon first seeing this situation, I would also instinctively assume there were only three servants in the entire shop!

Liu Mingzhi smiled and nodded slightly, then glanced at the little cutie across from him who was sipping her coffee.

The little cutie heard her father's gentle voice and quickly put down the small spoon that was between her slender, white fingers.

Then, while gently sipping her coffee from her luscious lips, she looked up at her father.

"Oh, Yue'er is here, Father, what's wrong?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Mingzhi replied softly, "My dear daughter, once you've finished your coffee, hurry up and choose something you like."

I, as your father, have no problem taking a little longer, but your Uncle Lei is different. He has already traveled a long and arduous journey, enduring wind and rain, and needs to get some rest as soon as possible.

"Please choose what you want as soon as possible, and try not to keep your Uncle Lei from getting some rest."

Hearing her father's solemn instructions, the little cutie nodded her head a few times without hesitation.

"Yes, yes, yes, Yue'er understands, Yue'er understands."

Lei Jun overheard the conversation between Young Master Liu and his daughter, Little Cutie, and immediately raised his hand with a smile, waving gently to them.

"Brother Liu, it's no trouble at all, it's no trouble at all."

"It's still early today, and I won't be in a hurry."

As Lei Jun spoke softly with a smile on his face, he turned his head slightly and looked at the little cutie's beautiful face.

“Niece Luoyue, your uncle is not in a hurry, not at all. You can take your time choosing.”

My dear niece, Luoyue, I sincerely hope that you can choose something you truly like, rather than just picking something randomly to appease me so that I can rest earlier.

Uncle, no matter how tired I am, I won't be short of time.

Besides, Uncle, I don't feel tired at all right now!
Listen to me, take your time choosing until you find something you truly like and are satisfied with.

After taking a small sip of the tea, Liu Mingzhi smiled faintly and turned to Lei Jun, gently shaking his head.

"Brother Lei, Yue'er, that brat, is already spoiled enough by your brother and your wives.

If you spoil her any longer, this brat will really go wild.

Hearing the slightly helpless tone in Liu Dashao's voice, Lei Jun's smile instantly deepened.

For Lei Jun, it didn't matter what tone Liu Dashao used when he spoke; what mattered was what he said and the meaning behind it.

It's important to understand that Liu Mingzhi's words just now did not explicitly refute what he had said to Xiao Ke'ai.

This alone is enough to prove that he will not interfere too much in the matter of Little Cutie choosing a gift; it is entirely up to Little Cutie and himself.

In that case, I definitely have to make the most of this opportunity.

In short, Lei Jun never expected to gain a favor from Young Master Liu simply by giving a gift.

As the saying goes, things are different now than they used to be.

It should be noted that Liu Mingzhi is no longer just the eldest son of the Liu family in Jiangnan, but a powerful minister in the court of the Great Dragon Dynasty. He has become the current emperor of the Great Dragon Dynasty.

Liu Mingzhi is now the current emperor of the Great Dragon Heavenly Dynasty. As the ruler of the Great Dragon Heavenly Dynasty, how could he possibly gain favors so easily?

If one could gain a favor from the emperor simply by giving his daughter a small gift, then the favors of Liu Mingzhi, the current emperor of the Great Dragon Dynasty, would be far too worthless.

However, not receiving a favor doesn't mean I can't leave a deep impression on Liu Mingzhi and his daughter, Xiao Ke'ai!
Sometimes, many things require a gradual approach.

In this world, there are no such things as instant success!

Lei Jun always had a very clear understanding of his own situation.

At this moment, Lei Jun was very clear in his mind that, based on his understanding of Young Master Liu's personality and the friendship he had shared with Young Master Liu since childhood, when they studied together at Dangyang Academy, he could achieve his goal.

If I ever need any help from Young Master Liu, he will definitely help me out of consideration for our past relationship.
