Chapter 390 Naya is here
Watching Zhao Liuli get on the carriage, the carriage slowly rolled towards the direction of the imperial palace.

Qiao Xi was puzzled: "She just left like that?"

Ye Jiayao sighed silently. What else could she do? Roll on the ground? Liuli couldn't do such a despicable thing. After all, Liuli was still the proud Liuli. Even if she was defeated and fell into the dust, she would hold her noble head high.

It was not easy for her to come here today and stand here.

This crazy woman, this paranoid woman, has finally driven herself to the point where she has no way out.

Is it pitiful? Is it sad?

It’s not an exaggeration to say that she deserved it!
But if her parents were still alive, if the Queen Mother had not doted on her too much, if she had not come to this strange world, perhaps Liuli's fate would have been different. However, there are no ifs in the world, and everything just happened, a sad ending.

Forget it, don’t think about it anymore. Everyone should pay the corresponding price for their actions, that’s all.

The next day, Manager Zhao came back, looking exhausted but with a happy look on his face.

"Second Young Madam, the restaurant that Young Master Qiao found is definitely in a first-rate location. As for the price, I haggled with him for a few days and finally managed to get him to pay 10%. I have already paid the deposit and will pay the balance within half a month."

As he spoke, Manager Zhao took out a map and the restaurant's facade layout and showed them to Ye Jiayao.

Ye Jiayao was also very satisfied after seeing it. This location is equivalent to that of Fu Ji in Jinling City, the most prosperous area. The floor space is also spacious. There are 22 private rooms on the second and third floors, which is a few more than Tianshangju.

"Okay, let's do it this way. I still have to trouble you. Tomorrow, you and Deng Haichuan will go to Suzhou. You will be responsible for renovating the restaurant in the style of Tianshangju. Let Deng Haichuan be responsible for recruitment. The chef will be assigned by Tianshangju, and the assistant cooks will be recruited locally. All welfare benefits will be in accordance with Tianshangju's system, and we must open for business in a month." Ye Jiayao made the decision straightforwardly.

Manager Zhao immediately agreed and went to find Deng Haichuan.

As soon as Manager Zhao left, Ye Jiayao got up to meet Zhao Qixuan and Su Yi. The two were planning to leave for the south in three days, so Ye Jiayao specially closed the dessert shop today and prepared to entertain the two of them.

Of course, Xiaojing was also invited. As for Chunyu and Chunfeng, they will come over after their shift.

Ye Jiayao had just started preparing the food when Zhao Qixuan and Su Yi arrived.

"You guys are here too early, nothing is done yet!"

Ye Jiayao said embarrassedly that they had agreed to come at 3 p.m., but it was only 4 p.m. now.

"It's okay, it's okay. We two have nowhere to go, so we might as well come over early and have some tea." Zhao Qixuan said leisurely, waving a paper fan.

Su Yi glanced at him calmly and thought, who has nowhere to go? It's you who has nowhere to go!

"Then you take a seat first." Ye Jiayao asked Qiao Xi to lead them to the VIP room to have tea first.

Jiang Yue said with a smile: "Second Young Madam, you go and take a rest, I'll do it. Although my pastry-making skills are not as good as yours, they are almost the same."

Ye Jiayao smiled: "Okay, I'll leave it to you."

The tea is the best Keemun black tea, brewed with boiling water, and the room is immediately filled with the tea fragrance.

"Yaoyao, the tea here is so fragrant!" Zhao Qixuan held a smelling cup, took a deep sniff, closed his eyes comfortably and savored the fragrance of the tea.

"Didn't I give you a pack last time? If you like it, I'll have someone prepare some more and you can take them to the south." Ye Jiayao said with a smile.

Su Yi said, "Don't pay attention to him. He has a lot of good teas, such as Lushan Yunwu, Junshan Yinzhen, and the newly released Meiwu Longjing. Ask him to get some for you later."

Zhao Qixuan said gloomily, "Susu, you don't understand. I said the tea here is fragrant because of the environment and the people who make tea. Drinking tea is a state of mind. Do you understand? I am sighing about the sadness of separation. Do you understand?"

Su Yi teased disapprovingly, "You? You can't even tell the difference between aged Longjing and new Longjing tea. You can only taste the state of mind. You are still sad and reluctant to leave. You should stay."

"Who said I want to stay? The south is my vast world. I don't know who was sighing last night, saying that I don't know when I will be able to come back. It's really like the officials are allowed to set fires but the people are not allowed to light lamps." Zhao Qixuan said angrily.

"Yaoyao, you see, he always bullies me like this." Zhao Qixuan complained to Ye Jiayao aggrievedly.

Ye Jiayao curled her lips and said, "One is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten, why are you complaining to me?"

A slight smile flashed across Su Yi's eyes.

Zhao Qixuan fanned himself missionarily and rolled his eyes at the two of them: "You are not good people."

Ye Jiayao couldn't help laughing and deliberately said, "Su Yi, he said you are not a good person, just let him go to the south alone to show his skills."

Su Yi said casually: "That's exactly what I meant."

Zhao Qixuan almost vomited blood. He pointed at Ye Jiayao with trembling fingers and said, "I really didn't see that, Yaoyao, you are so mean." Ye Jiayao raised her eyebrows and said, "Call me sister-in-law."

Zhao Qixuan wanted to cry but had no tears. Damn it, two people bullying one, is there any way to survive?

Forget it. If we fight them, the disparity in strength between us and the enemy is too great, and we will only suffer. Zhao Qixuan quickly adjusted his mindset and changed the subject: "Sister-in-law, I heard that you are planning to open a branch. Well...why don't you consider opening one in the south? That place is the junction of three countries, and the name of Tianshangju will be famous abroad."

It’s true, Ye Jiayao also has such plans, but her current focus is on Hangzhou and Suzhou, the border trade towns, and she plans to consider it next year.

"Sister-in-law, let me tell you, there isn't a single decent restaurant over there right now, and we don't even have anywhere to go for a meal. Just think about it, there are so many merchants there, and their pockets are full. They don't worry about having no money, but they worry about not being able to find a suitable restaurant. If you open your Tianshangju branch, I guarantee that you will make a lot of money, and the income will definitely be no less than that in Jinling!" Zhao Qixuan spared no effort to persuade.

Su Yi rarely formed a united front with Zhao Qixuan: "Yes, the market over there is definitely not inferior to Jinling."

Zhao Qixuan chuckled and said, "The key is, now that you've opened a branch, you'll have enough reasons to come to the south to inspect the work! Bring Chunyu with you, and it will be great for you and your wife to travel around the mountains and rivers."

Ye Jiayao smiled secretly. I'm afraid these two guys are just too bored over there. However, the business opportunity market they are talking about is indeed a big piece of cake! This is feasible.

"Okay, then you help me find a good floor, and I'll send someone over when the time comes." Ye Jiayao was also straightforward.

Zhao Qixuan chuckled and said, "If you are too busy, Susu and I can invest in it. We can help you manage it. You just need to provide manpower."

Uh...so this guy had this idea.

Ye Jiayao rolled her eyes and said, "Floor, renovation, you guys pay for the initial investment, I'll provide the manpower, the business model will be based on Tianshangju, I'll be responsible for the cuisine, everyone will split it 40% and 60%, I'll pay 60% and you 40%."

Zhao Qixuan quickly made up his mind and said with tears in his eyes, "Sister-in-law, you are trying to get something for nothing!"

Ye Jiayao said seriously, "What do you mean by getting something for nothing? Do you know how much the Tianshangju brand is worth now? Do you know how much market value the dishes developed by me, Ye Jinxuan, have? Do you think that opening a restaurant and hiring a few chefs will be enough? There is a lot to learn here. Otherwise, how could Tianshangju survive in Jinling City, where there are so many restaurants? How could it become the number one restaurant in Jinling in just one year? 40% to 60%, that's because we are friends. You should know that even if you get this 30% share, I guarantee that you will get back all the money in less than a year. What other business can get back the money so quickly? Opening a mine can make a lot of money, but there is also the risk of opening an abandoned mine. If you run a restaurant according to my model, it will definitely be very profitable."

Ye Jiayao really has the confidence to say such arrogant words. She may not be able to do other things, but opening a restaurant is a piece of cake for her. If Zhao Qixuan and Su Yi were not trustworthy friends and had a life-long friendship, she would not consider cooperation. The signboard of Tianshangju cannot be smashed, no matter where it is opened. Even Young Master Qiao wanted to cooperate and said that 20% to 80% was no problem, but she did not agree! 40% to 60% is really a friendship price.

Zhao Qixuan complained in his heart: Everyone says that you, a woman, are good at making money, and indeed you are very good at it. Alas, there is nothing I can do, who can blame you for having this ability!

The two exchanged glances, and Zhao Qixuan made the decision, "40:60, it's settled. We'll get started as soon as we get there, and you should hurry up too!"

The cooperation was happily finalized.

Zhao Qixuan looked at the time and then he remembered Xiaojing and others.

"Huh? That's weird, why haven't these guys come yet? It's already past the time."

Ye Jiayao said: "I'm afraid something has delayed him."

"Oh... you're so unenthusiastic even when there's something delicious to eat, really." Zhao Qixuan said contemptuously.

Su Yi couldn't help but glare at him again: Are others like you? A foodie.

As he was speaking, Chunfeng came running over in a panic.

"Second sister-in-law, Lao Zhao, Su Yi, everyone, please leave quickly and go to Prince Helian's Mansion."

Ye Jiayao frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhao Qixuan asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Chunfeng said: "Princess Naya of Simon has come to Jinling. It was so sudden. I didn't receive any information beforehand, and she just came like that."

Huh? Ye Jiayao was also shocked. Why did Naya, Helian Xuan's fiancée, suddenly come here?

"Where is she now?" Zhao Qixuan became excited. He didn't expect to see Helian Xuan's fiancée before leaving. It was so exciting.

Even Su Yi, who was usually calm, was moved.

"I just left the palace and went to Prince Helian's Mansion! My second brother and Xiao Jing have gone there, so they asked me to come and tell you."

What else is there to say? You have to go!

She also wanted to meet Princess Naya and see what kind of woman this woman was who could make Helian Xuan fall in love with her.

Ye Jiayao immediately ordered Jiang Yue to pack up the prepared pastries, and the four of them excitedly went to Prince Helian's Mansion together.
