Dad, don't be greedy! My brother climbed into the emperor's bed, and I became famous overn

Gu Mingyue glanced around.

"The base is well-managed; it's clean and tidy."

Shi Buji rubbed his hands together, his eyes shining.

"Everything is being done in accordance with the 'Employee Handbook' you previously established."

"Very good." Gu Mingyue waved her hand. "Let's check the finished products in the warehouse first."

Shi Buji said "Eh" and turned around to send someone to call the second manager.

As they passed the drying yard, Yan Xiaoliu ran over.

A face tanned dark by the sun, grinning to reveal a row of white teeth.

"Boss!"

"Yan Xiaoliu, you've gotten a tan."

"Hehe, I've been out in the sun too long. But boss, the head steward and I were just about to write to you to report on our progress. We had someone test the effects of the tangerine peel, and it's simply miraculous!"

"A common cough will get better in three days, and tuberculosis will show significant improvement in half a month!"

Lu Qinghe listened from behind, and couldn't help but be surprised, his eyes widening slightly.

"Such a miraculous medicine exists?"

It must be effective!

Juhong granules are also a good cough medicine in modern times!

This has been proven by history.

But Gu Mingyue didn't want Lu Qinghe to know too much, so she pretended not to hear and didn't explain further.

She nodded to Yan Xiaoliu.

"Good job, go to the warehouse."

The warehouse door was made of thick pine planks and secured with two brass locks.

Shi Buji took out his key, unlocked the door, and pushed it open.

A strong, orange-red aroma wafted towards me.

Gu Mingyue stood at the door, looking at the neatly stacked piles of burlap sacks on the shelves inside.

One bag weighs fifty jin (25 kg).

Piled up from the ground to under the roof beams, row upon row, column upon column, densely packed as far as the eye can see.

There is a passage in the middle that is just wide enough for one person.

Gu Mingyue was very satisfied.

"How much is there?"

"Thirty thousand catties."

Gu Mingyue nodded. The output was very high; it seemed that no one had been slacking off.

These 30,000 jin are enough for use during the epidemic.

As long as the quantity is small, the orange peel can be sold slowly and steadily without making a profit.

"Master."

Shi Buji straightened his back, his voice filled with an unshakeable smugness.

"With this kind of cargo volume, there are four large warehouses full of goods on three sides."

"What?!"

Gu Mingyue stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Shi Buji.

"How much did you say?"

Shi Buji stretched out his palm and shook his five fingers.

"Currently, only five large warehouses are full, totaling 150,000 jin (75,000 kg)."

"150,000 jin?" Gu Mingyue had a bad feeling.

"Before I left, the daily output was less than 300 jin. How did you manage to produce 150,000 jin in a month?"

Shi Buji cleared his throat, his smugness finally showing.

"The employer treats everyone well, and with such high wages, the workers are naturally very motivated. In the evenings, with nothing to do, they simply take the initiative to continue processing."

"..."

There's really no need for that!

Gu Mingyue looked at the overflowing warehouse and fell silent.

"Master."

Lu Qinghe was standing beside him, holding an account book and making notes.

"What are the medicinal effects of this tangerine peel? How much does it cost?"

Before Gu Mingyue could speak, Shi Buji proudly introduced himself.

"Sir, you are unaware of this. Ancient texts record that this medicine is a miraculous cough suppressant and expectorant! Its effects are far superior to those of cough suppressants available on the market."

"Well……"

Gu Mingyue wanted to stop Shi Buji from making the introduction, so she casually changed the subject.

"Actually, it's not that bad..."

"Hey, boss."

Yan Xiaoliu excitedly chimed in.

"You wouldn't believe it, ever since we went to find people to test the medicine, medical clinics all over Kyoto have started asking who produces tangerine peel."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Shi Buji continued explaining to Lu Qinghe, "This orange peel is priced at one tael of gold per pound. But now some clinics on the market are offering two taels of gold to buy it."

Lu Qinghe's eyes widened in surprise. "It's really that amazing?"

Yan Xiaoliu and Shi Buji nodded in unison, "Yes! Yes!"

Gu Mingyue: "..."

Her gaze swept over Lu Qinghe, who was scribbling away beside her.

This is terrible!

A moment later, Lu Qinghe put down his pen and looked at Gu Mingyue again, his eyes filled with admiration.

"Master, you are truly talented! To be able to produce such a wonderful medicine is a real boon to the people. When will this tangerine peel be available for sale?"

"Well..."

Gu Mingyue wanted to say, "No rush."

Yan Xiaoliu grinned, "Anytime! We have plenty of stock, just waiting to count the money!"

Lu Qinghe's eyes lit up. "That's wonderful! The boss is a man of few words, his plans are sound, he's truly a composed and reserved person!"

"Of course!" Shi Buji's words were full of admiration. "Our boss has been in business since childhood, has a broad vision, and is a seasoned manager—a true business prodigy!"

"Yes, yes! If we follow the boss, we can expect to have a good life."

"Hahahaha..."

The three men became more and more excited as they talked, as if they could already see the day when the orange peel would sell like hotcakes.

Gu Mingyue was numb.

If things continue like this, we might make a lot of money.

Shi Buji is too meticulous in his work; if things really get too complicated, we should transfer him.

Keep him away from the production line to reduce output.

Gu Mingyue took a deep breath and quickly interrupted the three of them's daydreaming.

"Shi Buji".

"Here!" Shi Buji immediately stopped smiling and stood up properly.

"You've done a good job this month," Gu Mingyue said calmly and in a steady tone. "So I'm planning to give you an even more important task."

Shi Buji's eyes lit up. "Please speak, sir!"

"Go to Powa Lane and take over Juhong Pharmacy."

Shi Buji's expression froze.

"Boss, you want me to be the head manager of the shop?"

Gu Mingyue nodded, her words earnest and sincere.

"You're a diligent worker, and with the new product launch, you're the most suitable person to be the manager."

Shi Buji was somewhat puzzled.

"Boss, do you remember my past experiences? Are you sure you want me to run the shop?"

Gu Mingyue certainly remembered that if Shi Buji hadn't had the "achievement" of single-handedly taking down fifty shops, she wouldn't have recommended him as the head manager.

This kind of person who "avoids wealth" must be used to protect the store!

Gu Mingyue looked at him very seriously.

"Shi Buji, the time has come for you to realize your true value. Do your best."

Shi Buji felt somewhat guilty.

He is not good at interacting with people, and is even a bit introverted.

He's good at craft work; he's confident he can do it perfectly.

Could be the head manager of a shop...

Shi Buji still wanted to try again.

"Master, Xiao Liu is the one who is truly shrewd, eloquent, and skilled in business. The fact that our Juhong liquor has spread so quickly throughout Kyoto is all thanks to Xiao Liu."

Gu Mingyue wore a professional smile and looked at Yan Xiaoliu with great appreciation.

"A talent like Xiao Liu is more suited to leading a large team. The Orange Red Business Unit will be managed by Yan Xiao Liu. I will also expand the team later. A large team needs Xiao Liu to lead it."

Let those skilled in technology do sales, and let those skilled in sales do technology management.

This restrictive management model can definitely hinder the development of the Orange Red Business Unit.

Even if output decreases and labor costs increase in the future, we can still turn a profit into a loss!

Lu Qinghe, listening from the side, frowned, unable to understand such an arrangement.

Shi Buji and Yan Xiaoliu looked at each other in bewilderment.

A moment later, the confusion in their eyes gradually turned into a bright light.

Who is the boss?

A business prodigy!

The owner's arrangement must have a deeper meaning!

All they need to do is firmly believe in their employer!

Shi Buji and Yan Xiaoliu bowed to each other.

"As the master has arranged, I will comply."

They will definitely do their best and live up to expectations!
