The more Song Huan listened to the female voice, the more familiar it became.
"Miss Shen, is that you?"
The figure in the car seemed to pause for a moment, then hurriedly opened the car curtain.
Behind the car curtain was Shen Mei's surprised and surprised face.
Seeing Song Huan appear in front of him, his beautiful eyes were filled with disbelief!
"Your Highness...it's really you!"
"You are not..."
Song Huan smiled and said: "I took a day off. Now that the holiday is over, I have to continue working."
Shenmei looked at Song Huan blankly, not paying any attention to the incomprehensible words in Song Huan's mouth.
"It'll be good if you come back... Just come back!"
Although Shen Mei is just a businessman, she is not completely unaware of all the goings-on in the capital.
Naturally, she knew very well that Song Huan was grounded for one day.
Seeing that Song Huan could see the light of day again, Shen Mei couldn't help but have tears in her eyes, and felt relieved for Song Huan from the bottom of her heart!
Song Huan did not feel Shen Mei's hot gaze.
"By the way, Miss Shen, have you been delivering meals to the workers during this time?"
Shen Mei calmed down her thoughts, returned to her usual dignified and gentle appearance, and nodded to Song Huan with a faint smile.
"I heard Mr. Liu mention by chance earlier that the steelmaking plant had a difficult start, and many processes needed to be researched and broken through one by one."
"So, most of the craftsmen stay in the factory day and night, just to improve the purity of the steel and forge more refined steel."
"As the president of the Royal Merchants Association, I also want to do something for the steel mill."
"It's a pity that I don't know anything about this steel-making technology, so I can't help you much!"
"However, although I don't understand professional things, I still have no problem doing odd jobs and cooking."
"Besides..."
Speaking of this, a trace of sadness flashed in his frowning eyes.
"I know that although these master craftsmen work hard, they earn very little money."
"The more meals I can cook, the less money they spend selling meals."
"Can't the remaining money be used to support the family?"
Looking at Shen Mei's true and pure eyes, Song Huan couldn't help but be stunned.
Such a kind girl, could this be the legendary fairy sister?
Whoever gets such a good girl in the future will be lucky!
Seeing Song Huan staring at him motionless, Shen Mei couldn't help but blush slightly.
"Your Highness, is there anything wrong with what I said?"
"Let's do this..."
"Is there something wrong?"
Song Huan immediately shook his head: "No, no, no!"
"Miss Shen understands justice well and behaves generously. She is infinitely better than most profit-seeking businessmen!"
"Miss Shen has given such thoughtful consideration. It's not too late for me to thank you for these craftsmen!"
"Why do you think your behavior is inappropriate?"
"As for the craftsmen's wages, Miss Shen doesn't have to worry."
"The treatment I give them is much higher than what they get in the blacksmith shop!"
After hearing this, Shen Mei seemed to finally feel relieved.
"I knew that His Highness was kind-hearted and would definitely treat these craftsmen well."
"They are craftsmen who truly rely on their skills to earn a living, so they certainly deserve better treatment!"
Song Huan nodded in agreement: "Yes, I think so too."
"only……"
Hearing Song Huan's change of subject, Shen Mei hurriedly asked: "Your Highness, do you have any more questions?"
Song Huan sighed and said: "There is nothing wrong with the steel mill. I just feel that Miss Shen, you have already paid too much for the steel mill and Liulichang."
"I really can't bear to let you invest money and effort like this again!"
Shenmei smiled brightly and said: "Your Highness, how could it be possible?"
"As the head of the imperial merchants, I should have contributed my little effort."
"What's more, my father has taught me since I was a child that we business people should take things from the people and use them for the people."
"So what I have done, I have done willingly!"
"not to mention……"
Speaking of this, Shen Mei smiled slyly.
"Your Highness, do you know Changchunfang?"
"Changchunfang has extremely strict requirements on ingredients. Each dish must use the freshest ingredients. The strictness can even be described as 'extravagant and wasteful'."
"Since the excess ingredients have to be thrown away, why not sell them to me at a low price and let me prepare lunch for the craftsmen?"
"Su Wenqian, the owner of Changchunfang, was my father's best friend during his lifetime, and he also cared about me."
"As soon as I made such a request, he readily agreed."
"So His Highness thinks these dishes are expensive, but in fact the money I spent is not as much as His Highness imagined!"
After hearing this explanation, Song Huancai finally understood.
This girl is really thoughtful, and she can actually come up with such a clever plan!
But having said that, purchasing a large amount of ingredients every day and investing a lot of energy is enough to be mentally and physically exhausting.
"Miss Shen worked so hard, I am very touched!"
"Miss Shen understands righteousness and is truly a model among imperial merchants!"
"However, Miss Shen has contributed both money and effort. As the founder of the steel mill, I really can't bear it."
"How about this!"
"From now on, I will contract the canteen of this steelmaking plant to Miss Shen."
"Miss Shen doesn't have to pay out of her own pocket, she just needs to send some people to the canteen to help, that's enough!"
Shen Mei was confused.
"Canteen...contracted?"
"People's girls are not talented. May I ask Your Highness, what does this mean?"
Shen Mei has been involved in business with Shen Wanshan since she was a child, but she has never heard of what contracting is!
Song Huan smiled and explained: "It means that from now on, the meal problem of the steelworkers will be left to Miss Shen."
"It's just that I will apply for a sum of funds from my father to be used specifically for the purchase of ingredients, the salaries of canteen workers, etc."
"In this way, Miss Shen only needs to devote some energy to management, and that will be enough."
Shen Mei was a little surprised: "Your Highness, it doesn't have to be like this!"
"Shen Mei does this because she hopes to fulfill her abilities and responsibilities."
"There is no need for the court to spend any more money!"
Song Huan's tone did not allow for criticism: "I and all the craftsmen can appreciate Miss Shen's kindness."
"It's just that Miss Shen has so many things to do, and she has been working so hard for many years, it is inevitable that she will be unable to do what she wants!"
"Besides, purchasing ingredients and cooking meals every day is a big expense."
"After many years, this money is like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger!"
"It will also be overwhelming!"
"So Miss Shen should listen to my advice and win the contracting rights of this canteen in one fell swoop."
“Miss Shen’s contribution can be regarded as a contribution to this matter!”
