After the passing of Taohua, she said to Hua Qiong, "Mother, I didn't expect Manager Sun to accept Master Wen as the general manager so quickly. I thought he would continue making excuses to delay."
Hua Qiong said, "You shouldn't think of Manager Sun as such a petty person. Since he could be entrusted by He Chao to be the shopkeeper, he must be capable. No shopkeeper is perfect; indeed, Manager Sun looked down on Master Wen before, but once Master Wen showed his ability, Manager Sun was willing to put aside his prejudices. If he wasn't open-minded enough to do this, how could he have been a shopkeeper for so many years?"
"Taohua, in the future, you will be the owner and manage many affairs. You cannot dismiss someone completely just because of different principles."
Gu Taohua listened earnestly, as her mother taught her another lesson.
On the day Hua Qiong left the prefectural city, events unexpectedly unfolded following Master Wen's joint venture.
