"But aren't the first two stores selling the same thing? Why is it that Shopkeeper Hong's store isn't doing well?" Originally, Xie Wanqing was already very pleased just thinking about not losing out, but now, she was even more shocked. She was originally even able to earn money, but what she did not expect was actually earning a lot more than what Xie Wanqing had imagined.

I'm also curious, I just found out that the things over at Manager Hong's place are all in open supply, but didn't we close at noon? For some reason, everyone said that the food at our branch store was delicious, so you can say that it's not strange, but this chef was also dug out from Manager Hong's place!

Xie Wanqing looked at Sun Xiaoxiao's curious eyes, and could not help but burst out laughing, "Let's continue doing that, but after a while, we will have new tricks up our sleeves!"

"What kind of new tricks?" Sun Xiaoxiao was always afraid of Xie Wanqing's business, but now that she said it, she couldn't help but be a little shocked.

"Isn't the new year coming soon? When the day of attendance arrives, we'll send out the pastries!" Xie Wanqing laughed as she looked at Sun Xiaoxiao, but when Sun Xiaoxiao opened her eyes wide, they were filled with disbelief.

"Gift? "Are you crazy? Are you sure you want to make money or are you just going to give away your money? I'm afraid you're going to lose your life when the time comes!"

Xie Wanqing looked at Sun Xiaoxiao's expression, "Don't tell me that this person went into too much trouble making money? Why does she always ask for money all the time?"

"Zhiqing, didn't we open a shop to earn money? If we give them free money, then it would be terrible. After all, the rental of the store and the monthly payment from the kitchen staff are all settled with money!"

Xie Wanqing lowered his head in embarrassment, but what she said was reasonable, Xie Wanqing nodded his head, "You are right, we do want to earn money, but think about it, in the new year, rich and powerful families are naturally like big fish and big meat, but poor families might not even be able to eat meat, let alone pastry and pastries!"

"Yanqing, you mean we should help poor people?" Sun Xiaoxiao was even more confused now. Why would Xie Wanqing think of this for no reason at all?

Xie Wanqing nodded her head. A child who was only eight years old would never have thought of this, but in his past life, Xie Wanqing and Liang Wang once had a mutually cherished past, which was like glue that could not be separated for a single moment. Only when they had investigated the affairs of the people together did they realize how poor the original poor people were.

Before he passed away, he had not eaten any rice at all for a few days. That feeling of hunger was something that Xie Wanqing had tasted before, which was why Xie Wanqing had such a thought.

"Zhiqing, although your thoughts are good, there are a lot of poor and chaotic people in this world. How can we help them out just like that?" The fact that Sun Xiaoxiao was able to say such words surprised Xie Wanqing, it seemed like this carefree young miss knew a thing or two about it.

"I've already thought about this. Poor people and rich families can be clearly divided. Wealthy families don't lack that little money, so we'll let them spend money on pastries. As for poor people, we'll just give them to them for free. "We won't force it, but the money will be distributed to the beggars on the roadside on New Year's Eve. We will not be able to afford it for a long time, so we will only do it on that day!"

Sun Xiaoxiao was usually careless, but her thoughts were extremely soft, and after hearing what Xie Wanqing had said, she nodded her head, expressing her agreement to Xie Wanqing's words.

The two of them finished their business and laughed for a while, playing with the Marquis Anyang's Mansion, and with so many pairs of eyes staring at the unhappy Sun Xiaoxiao, Sun Xiaoxiao took her leave early.

Xie Wanqing looked at the silver bills in her hands. After earning twenty thousand taels of silver, although she had only earned ten thousand, this was already a huge sum. She divided some of the money to Yue Xin as usual and kept the rest for herself.

In the next few days, Xie Wanqing's courtyard became even colder, and no one came to look for Xie Wanqing. Normally, if Xie Huaixing was on break, she would definitely come to Xie Wanqing's room to cause a ruckus, but now, even Xie Huaixing did not come.

Presumably, the Madame Huang had kept him in the house to not let him find Xie Wanqing, so Xie Wanqing did not mind, as on New Year's Eve, Xie Wanqing ran even more towards Han Hao's house.

Now, even if it was just a servant, they would probably spit when they passed by Xie Wanqing and Han Hao's courtyard.

On the other hand, in the past few days, the manor was getting busier and busier. The people were all busy with the New Year's Eve matters, and only Xie Wanqing and her courtyard were still as cold and eye-catching as ever.

Xie Wanqing did not care about the idle chatter of the bystanders, and would often stay in Han Hao's house for the entire day.

In the blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve. According to the rules, regardless of status, everyone had to gather in the main hall for a meal.

Of course Xie Wanqing was no exception. Even though Han Hao was a relative, he was still a relative after all, so he should still be attending as well. It was New Year's Eve and the Main Hall was bustling with noise and excitement as well, but Xie Wanqing and Han Hao's seats were still empty.

The two empty seats were quite eye-catching in the bustling hall. They had originally been a hot topic of gossip, but now, there was a lot of gossip. However, the old mistress of the house was already here, and no one dared to be impudent.

After all, gossip was just gossip. How could it enter the ears of the madame? If she was angry, wouldn't it embarrass everyone?

"Why are the Sister Wanqing and Big Brother Han Hao not here yet!" Seeing that the banquet was about to begin, Xie Huaixing drooped his head. He had been feeling so stifled inside his room every day, thinking that he would be able to come out for a breather on New Year's Eve and even smile while Xie Wanqing played with her. That would be the best.

Xie Huaixing was still young, so he naturally had whatever he wanted to say. Originally, Xie Huaixing was the darling of the mansion, and the seat was placed next to the old mistress, so even though the Madame Huang not far away had a fierce expression, Xie Huaixing did not notice those words from his mouth. The old lady was right beside him, so his words still entered the old lady's ears.

On the face of the old lady, there was obvious displeasure. Everyone thought that since Xie Huaixing had been stuck in there for so long, he might be able to forget about Xie Wanqing. But who knew that after coming out with great difficulty, he actually picked up Xie Wanqing.

Although the old lady did not say much on the surface, but the old lady had heard rumors and was not deaf. Naturally, she had some complaints towards Xie Wanqing.

Madame Huang got up and tried to smooth things over, "Huai, your Sister Wanqing is busy right now, maybe she'll be here in a while, why don't you go out with your sister Yun Xi for a while?"

Xie Wanyun heard that this was a chance, how could she not see through it? Xie Huaixing was the old lady's darling, there was no mistake to not have a good relationship with Xie Huaixing.

"Brother Huaixing, let Big Sis take you out to play!" Hearing that, Xie Wanyun stood up, but Xie Huaixing did not do it, he did not say anything, he just looked at Xie Wanyun, and there was nothing else.

Xie Wanyun awkwardly sat back down, the old lady did not say anything, Xie Wanyun was gloomy, how could Xie Huaixing play with him?

"Huai, your Sister Wanqing and Big Brother Han Hao are probably busy together. It's really pitiful to leave you here by yourself!" Xie Huaixing could not understand what it meant, and was even less willing to pay attention to it.

Although the madame was not angered, her face looked more and more unsightly. Everyone stopped their laughter because it was almost time for the banquet to begin, and even Madame Ye's face had turned ugly.
