Chapter 287 Do Men Become Bad When They Have Money?

The city has a strong commercial atmosphere and the curfew is not strict, especially before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Therefore, it is normal for many shops to be open until midnight.

The entire Pearl Lane is brightly lit every night, and the shouting can continue until dawn.

It was the first day that Taohua Dessert opened, so it should have been open very late.

However, business was so booming that by the time lights were turned on, not a single crumb of the cakes was left.

Under the leadership of Chen Sufen and Master Song, the bakery was baking so many cookies that sparks appeared. By the evening, everyone's hands and feet were numb.

The other guys were also so busy running around that they didn't even have a sip of water.

Tong Huaqiong thought that if there were sports bracelets in this era, they would show that the average person takes 30,000 steps.

Tong Huaqiong stopped the business, counted the accounts, and was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.

This indicates that Peach Blossom Dessert has achieved initial success in the city.

Tong Huaqiong ordered the bakery to turn off the fire and gather everyone in the front hall.

"Luckily we have this tool for beating eggs at home, otherwise my hands would be tired from stirring with chopsticks." A baker rubbed his sore arm and said to Master Song.

“So our work is relatively easy. The reason we’re tired is because business is good, not because of making pastries.” Master Song took the opportunity to talk about values.

"I'm not afraid of being tired. I just hope that our Taohua Dessert will have such good business every day." The only female baker turned off the stove and said to Chen Sufen.

Everyone took off their masks, washed their hands, untied their aprons, and came to the front hall.

Looking at the guys standing respectfully in a row, Tong Huaqiong first gave a speech and reviewed the results.

"...Everyone has worked hard today. Everyone will receive an extra 500 yuan bonus today."

There will be rewards for good work, this is Tong Huaqiong's consistent principle in running the shop.

Especially in the capital city, where the competition is so fierce, these guys don't have to worry about not finding a way out. Only when the salary and rewards are among the best in the industry will people be willing to follow you wholeheartedly.

The guys cheered when they heard there was a bonus.

They were originally worried that Taohua Dessert would be deserted upon its opening, but they did not expect so many customers to come on the first day.

There were ordinary people, students from Wanliu Academy, and maids and servants from wealthy families.

Even the imperial merchant Mr. Lu came in person to cut the ribbon.

Not only that, Lord Yao also came to support us.

Lord Yao of course did not come in person, but his steward came to the queue and was recognized.

Naturally, everyone took Lord Yao's butler as Lord Yao's own intention.

What does this prove? It proves that Taohua Dessert not only has the support of Mr. Lu, but also has the favor of the prefect.

The Taohua Dessert business will be stable in the future.

As workers, who doesn't want their employer's shop to develop well? Only when the employer's shop develops well can they get money.

What's more, the boss is clear about rewards and punishments. As long as you work hard, you will get bonuses in addition to wages.

"Thank you, boss!"

"Thank you, boss!"

Tong Huaqiong believes that bonuses should be paid immediately to stimulate everyone's passion to work hard.

She asked the accountant to prepare the red envelope.

At this time, the accountant handed the red envelope to Tong Huaqiong with both hands, and Tong Huaqiong distributed it to the clerks one by one.

The guys held the red envelope in their hands, smiling from ear to ear, and thanked Tong Huaqiong one after another.

After distributing the bonuses, Tong Huaqiong emphasized the praise for the baker in the bakery.

The bakery deserves the greatest credit. It keeps on firing from morning till night, which ensures speed and, more importantly, stable output.

All the chefs in the bakery felt proud to receive Tong Huaqiong's special praise.

The baking master, who originally felt that his arms were too tired to go to work tomorrow, suddenly felt energized.

"Also," Tong Huaqiong said with a smile, "I have already reserved a table for everyone at the restaurant. Everyone, relax tonight. After today, everyone will continue to work hard tomorrow."

When everyone heard that there would be a feast, they were even happier and expressed their determination to work hard and live up to Tong Huaqiong's trust in them.

After the celebration banquet, Tong Huaqiong returned to the hotel to rest.

Just as she was about to lie down, Gu Taohua pushed the door open and said, "Mom, my second sister-in-law and second brother are arguing."

Gu Taohua couldn't sleep and came out to look at the lights. She passed by Gu Dashu and Liu Yue'e's room and heard a quarrel and Liu Yue'e's sobbing.

She felt that she was a girl and difficult to persuade, so she ran to her mother.

Tong Huaqiong frowned and said, "Did you hear it wrong?"

Gu Dashu and Liu Yue'e were very young and had always had a good relationship. They hadn't seen each other for almost a month, and now that they had met, they must have taken the time to talk to each other. Gu Taohua was a girl and didn't understand, so she thought the brother and sister-in-law were fighting.

Gu Taohua said, "I heard it right, my second sister-in-law was crying. Mother, I heard that my second brother has become bad and has a mistress outside."

When Tong Huaqiong heard the word "wild woman", she jumped up from the bed.

How could she forget that when Gu Dashu became rich in his previous life, he had a house full of beautiful girls.

Although Tong Huaqiong often thought Liu Yue'e was stupid and sometimes didn't like her very much, she had nothing to say about Gu Dashu. If Gu Dashu dared to have any bad intentions outside, Tong Huaqiong would never forgive him.

No wonder, she said why Liu Yue'e's eyes were red early the next morning after arriving in the capital, it turned out that Gu Dashu had an affair.

Poor second son's wife, she has endured so much hardship these past two days. Today she was in high spirits to greet customers the whole day, and only burst into action after the shop opened.

She decided to seek justice for the second son's wife.

If Gu Dashu really had a "wild woman" outside, she would smash his head, remove him from his position as shopkeeper, and take him home to feed the pigs.

Tong Huaqiong and Gu Taohua came to the door of the second child's room and heard Liu Yue'e sobbing.

Liu Yue'e cried and said, "Gu Dashu, you have no conscience. I eloped with you despite my reputation being ruined, and you treat me like this? You still say you don't have any bad intentions. When we came out of the restaurant, that girl named Xianxian pulled your sleeve. She even called you Brother Dashu, why didn't she pull someone else's sleeve?"

"When you arrived in the city, you were the shopkeeper, the second young master of the Gu family. You were so impressive, no wonder even the girls in Tianxiang Tower smiled at you and pulled your clothes. Tell me the truth, how many times have you been to Tianxiang Tower? How much did you spend on Miss Xianxian?"

Liu Yue'e's voice was broken, and one could feel that she was heartbroken at the moment.

Gu Taohua's blood boiled when she heard this.

Does it really happen that men become bad when they have money?

My second brother had only been in the city for a few days and he had already learned how to visit brothels.

"Mom, I want to smash my second brother's head."

Gu Taohua's fingers clenched together and made snapping sounds.

Tong Huaqiong had a gloomy face and pushed open the door of the room.

"Gu Dashu, I thought you had learned well, but not only did you not learn well, you became a playboy. I asked you to open a shop in the capital, not to have a good time. You are such a shameless thing, you became bad after having a few silver coins in your hand, and you even learned to visit brothels."

"It's better to give birth to a piece of barbecued pork than to give birth to you. I will beat you to death, you shameless thing."

Tong Huaqiong saw that Liu Yue'e's hairpins and rings were scattered because of crying, and Gu Dashu was sitting beside her with his neck stiffened.

She was so angry that she grabbed Gu Dashu and started beating him.
