Zhu Cheng followed Gu Xiaoyou and Zhou to the main hall and sat down. Gu Xiaoyou poured Zhu Cheng a cup of tea.

"Zhu Cheng, you came quite quickly. I thought it would take half a month before I see you again."

"Boss Liu is helping me at the courier station, so I came quickly." Zhu Cheng took the tea cup with both hands and replied.

"Lao Liu is a good person." Gu Xiaoyou nodded in approval and said with a bit of nostalgia: "It's good to see you again. How is everyone?"

"Everything is good." Zhu Cheng showed a silly smile: "The paper shop business is as usual, and Yang He also asked me to bring the profits from this period."

As he spoke, Zhu Cheng took out a stack of banknotes and account books from his pocket: "This is the income and account books of all the shops."

"Well, the business is managed very well." Gu Xiaoyou casually put the banknotes into his arms and looked at the account books and said.

The worries about Qingcheng County in my heart disappeared instantly. Looking at the accounts, I knew that Yang He and Zhu Cheng had maintained several businesses well.

Mrs. Zhou glanced at it and praised: "You have maintained the Isatis business very well. You are making more money than when I was in charge."

Zhu Cheng scratched his head in embarrassment and said honestly: "You taught me well."

"You are too humble." Zhou said with a smile, a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes.

Zhu Cheng pursed his lips, the corners of his mouth rising uncontrollably.

Gu Xiaoyou put down the account book and glanced at Zhu Cheng a few times, feeling that his expression had become a little strange, a little... shy.

Gu Xiaoyou was covered in goosebumps because of his own thoughts. He rubbed his arms and said hurriedly: "You are tired after traveling for a few days. Take a good rest today. If you have enough sleep tomorrow, we can discuss the matter at the express station."

"Okay." Zhu Cheng responded naively, nodded to Gu Xiaoyou, and said softly to Mr. Zhou: "Good night, Boss Zhou."

"Good night." Mrs. Zhou smiled, said hello to Gu Xiaoyou and went back to her room.

Zhu Cheng stood there and stared blankly at Zhou's back. Gu Xiaoyou called him several times but got no response, so she had to pat him heavily on the shoulder.

Zhu Cheng came back to his senses this time: "What's the matter, Boss Gu?"

"Why are you so stupid?" Gu Xiaoyou shook his head helplessly: "I said you follow Manager Zhang, and he will take you to the guest room to rest."

"Oh, okay." Zhu Cheng scratched his head and followed Manager Zhang.

Gu Xiaoyou raised an eyebrow and looked at Zhu Cheng, murmuring: "It's really weird."

After saying that, he shrugged and walked briskly back to his room.

The next morning, Gu Xiaoyou finished breakfast and came to the main hall.

I saw Zhu Cheng already sitting in the main hall, holding a teacup in his hand, drinking tea. It looked like he had been waiting for a long time.

"Why don't you sleep a little longer?" Gu Xiaoyou said in greeting.

Zhu Cheng put down the tea cup and replied with a smile: "I'm used to it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mrs. Zhou led Liang'er into the main hall.

When Liang'er saw Zhu Cheng, she let go of Zhou's hand, ran in quickly, and rushed over happily.

"Uncle Zhu!"

"Hey, Liang'er." Zhu Cheng stepped forward to catch Liang'er, lifted Liang'er up and spun him around.

Liang'er laughed out loud, and Mrs. Zhou stepped forward and patted him on the back: "Okay, come down quickly, don't tire your Uncle Zhu."

Zhu Cheng smiled and said: "It's okay, I'm not tired."

Liang'er stood back on the ground obediently, and Gu Xiaoyou touched his bun: "Let's go to the store."

"Yes." Zhu Cheng responded, and several people came to Anyang Street in Lutan in a carriage.

When they arrived at the store, Zhou and Liang'er stayed in front to look at the store. Gu Xiaoyou took Zhu Cheng to an unused store with a courtyard at the back.

She took Zhu Cheng for a walk and said, "This store is used as a courier station. All mail and parcels are received in the front yard, you can rest in the back yard, and trucks and horses are kept in the yard. What do you think?"

"

"It's very good, even more impressive than our express delivery station." Zhu Cheng said happily.

"Of course, this is the capital after all." Gu Xiaoyou said arrogantly: "I showed you the place, and I will leave it to you to settle here. If you need anything, come to me at the paper shop."

"Don't worry, Boss Gu, I will set up the express delivery station as soon as possible." Zhu Cheng solemnly promised.

"Okay, I can rest assured that you can do the work." Gu Xiaoyou praised, left some banknotes for Zhu Cheng, and returned to the paper shop with peace of mind.

In the next few days, Zhu Cheng and his crew were busy setting up a courier station, while Gu Xiaoyou and Zhou were busy in the paper shop.

In the backyard of the paper shop.

Gu Xiaoyou took the cardboard and concentrated on folding the cardboard box. Master Meng came over to deliver the paper. Seeing that the box she made was in a strange style, he stood aside and watched silently.

"Ouch, it's so troublesome." Gu Xiaoyou folded a paper box and waved his hand.

"Boss Gu, what is this for?" Master Meng asked curiously.

Master Meng's sudden voice scared Gu Xiaoyou and threw the carton to the ground.

"Oh, when did you come? You scared me." Gu Xiaoyou patted his heart and said in shock.

Master Meng picked up the carton and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I think this carton has a strange style and I couldn't help but want to ask."

"It's okay, this is a paper drawer." Gu Xiaoyou picked up a ready-made paper drawer from the side and demonstrated: "This is how to use it."

"Interesting." Master Meng took the paper in his hand and studied it.

Gu Xiaoyou has discovered that Master Meng just likes things related to paper and is a paper fanatic.

She shook her head and continued to fold the paper box.

After a while, Master Meng suddenly said: "The paper in the carton is not very good, it is too rough and not hard enough."

Gu Xiaoyou's hand kept moving and replied casually: "Yes, it's a pity that I couldn't find better paper than this cardboard."

After saying that, Gu Xiaoyou sighed helplessly: "Recently, many people have ordered a lot of toilet paper in order to get paper towels. We have enough toilet paper, but paper boxes have become a problem."

Hearing this, Master Meng smiled and said gently: "The villain has an idea, it's not worth talking about."

"you say."

"The little man knows how to make hard paper, which is both tough and smooth." Master Meng said unhurriedly.

"Really?" Gu Xiaoyou's eyes lit up and he asked eagerly: "Then tell me how to do it?"

"The paper the villain is talking about is called mulberry paper. The bark of the mulberry tree is used as the raw material. The paper made is most suitable for making paper boxes."

"Can you make mulberry paper? Is it easy to make?" Gu Xiaoyou asked impatiently.

Master Meng smiled slightly: "I know how to make it, but mulberry paper is much easier to make than toilet paper."

"That's great. The workshop next door is still vacant. I'll leave it to you to make mulberry paper, and I can sell the paper in bulk!" Gu Xiaoyou said happily.

"Boss Gu can trust me, so I'll hire someone to do it." Master Meng said humbly.
