Warm applause erupted instantly in the paper art workshop, and everyone had a happy smile on their face.

Mrs. Zhou walked in with a round of applause. Seeing everyone's high spirits, she couldn't help but raise her lips and asked with a smile: "What are you so happy about?"

Without waiting for Gu Xiaoyou to speak, the female workers replied in unison: "There are more than 20 more orders for paper-cutting today than yesterday!"

“That’s four orders less than the greeting card order!”

"And the finished products in the shop are also sold a lot."

"That's great. I'm here to congratulate you." Zhou said with a smile.

"Thank you." The female workers thanked them with happy smiles on their faces.

Gu Xiaoyou saw that everyone was getting more and more excited as they chatted, so he quickly said: "It's getting late, everyone should go home early, we have to go to work tomorrow."

"Okay, goodbye boss." The female workers responded obediently and bid farewell to Gu Xiaoyou one after another.

They went home in twos and threes, chatting lively, and occasionally heard a few hearty laughs.

Gu Xiaoyou and Mr. Zhou looked at each other and smiled.

"Don't worry this time, I will tell you that we can build a paper-cutting shop." Ms. Zhou said softly.

It took so long to prepare the paper art workshop, and there were only a few orders last night, so she was still a little nervous.

Gu Xiaoyou didn't say anything, but Zhou knew her for such a long time and could guess some of her thoughts.

"Well, I'm relieved this time." Gu Xiaoyou smiled, locked the shop with Mrs. Zhou, and took the carriage back to the mansion.

The business of the paper art workshop gradually became balanced. The female workers and Gu Xiaoyou rushed to make orders in the backyard and counted the orders together in the evening. Although it was a bit hard, everyone was happy because each other's hard work was recognized.

Although there are many orders for paper-cutting, they are still slightly inferior to orders for greeting cards.

In particular, greeting cards that can be customized with blessings are particularly popular among businessmen.

Gu Xiaoyou didn't expect that the paper art workshop could bring such benefits. Originally, he wanted to leave it to Ding Xiucai and others from the business card workshop, but the business of the business card workshop was also very busy, and their time was filled up with business cards.

Gu Xiaoyou had no choice but to take the finished greeting card to the shop next to the book club where the books were copied.

In the shop.

There was a strong fragrance of paper and ink in the shop. The students were all sitting at their desks and copying storybooks. In addition to the sound of turning pages and the swipe of pen and ink falling on the paper, all the unnecessary sounds in the shop were...

No.

Gu Xiaoyou opened the door carelessly. Seeing such a scene, he subconsciously stepped lightly.

The students were very focused on copying books. Even when they heard the sound of the door opening, almost no one looked up.

Only the scholar who was in charge of this group of students saw Gu Xiaoyou coming in. He stood up, cupped his hands, and greeted softly: "Hello, Boss Gu."

"Hello, let's go to the backyard to talk." Gu Xiaoyou approached the scholar softly and said in a low voice.

"Please." The scholar nodded in agreement and bowed to indicate to Gu Xiaoyou to go first.

Gu Xiaoyou held the greeting card, walked cautiously, and walked to the backyard with the scholar.

When they reached the backyard, Gu Xiaoyou breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ouch, it's so quiet in the room, I'm embarrassed to speak."

"This is how everyone copies books. If they are chatting, they are afraid of copying to the wrong place." The scholar explained with a smile.

"Yes, I know."

Gu Xiaoyou nodded in understanding and asked about the situation in the shop for a few more words before officially talking about the purpose of coming today.

"The paper art workshop has received a lot of orders for greeting cards that require writing blessings. The scholars in the business card workshop are too busy, so I came here to see if the students have time."

The scholar took the order, looked at the requirements and words on it, thought for a while and said: "Although the words on the paper are short, there are many copies. The students have the task of copying the books. If they want to write greeting cards, I'm afraid they have to do it. After work, ask them what they want."

"That's it..." Gu Xiaoyou touched his chin and fell into thinking.

I didn’t expect the students copying books to be so busy. What should I do?

As she thought about it, her watery eyes glanced around the backyard unconsciously.

Suddenly an idea flashed and Gu Xiaoyou said: "There is still such a big space in the backyard. If we clean up the backyard, I can recruit more students to write greeting cards. What do you think of my idea?"

The scholar looked around the backyard and replied with a smile: "Boss Gu's idea is very good."

"Then please recruit some students, and I'll ask people to sort out the backyard." Gu Xiaoyou ordered.

"Yes, I'll go right away." The scholar responded and immediately turned around to do it.

Gu Xiaoyou put away the greeting cards and orders and went to other shops to gather people.

After a while, a group of servants gathered in the backyard of the bookstore.

Gu Xiaoyou said softly: "You go to the warehouse and move the copying tables here. If you want to clean up, you guys go get some oil lamps and candles."

Gu Xiaoyou assigned tasks to his servants, and finally warned: "You must move gently, they are all copying books."

"Yes." The servants responded in low voices, and left the backyard quietly, following the arrangements for taking care of Xiaoyou.

Gu Xiaoyou first took a few servants to clean up the rooms in the backyard. Fortunately, the students usually took a nap in the room in the backyard, and the rooms were quite clean.

Several beds were reserved in each room, and there was a large open space in the backyard room. The servants who were moving the tables happened to move the tables over, and Gu Xiaoyou directed them to put the desks in place.

"Put the desks next to the window. Yes, there is good lighting there. Place them side by side, leaving an aisle in between."

The servants put the table in place according to Xiaoyou's request. Except for Gu Xiaoyou's low voice, the servants tried their best to keep quiet.

The tables and chairs were almost arranged. The servants who took the candles and oil lamps came back, and Gu Xiaoyou arranged for them to arrange the candles.

By the time we finished tidying up the entire backyard, the sun was almost setting.

The scholar who went to recruit students hurried back in the dusk. When he entered the backyard, he saw the scene in the yard and paused in his steps.

He had only been out for two hours, but the backyard had changed drastically. As expected of Boss Gu, he was very fast in doing things.

Gu Xiaoyou was doing the finishing work. When he saw the scholar coming back, he greeted him: "You are back, have you recruited anyone?"

"We've hired them." The scholar got down to business and put away his surprise: "I mentioned the terms of the shop to them and made an appointment with them to come to the shop tomorrow to have an interview with you."

"Thank you for your hard work. There is nothing going on in the store. You should go back and rest early." Gu Xiaoyou said with a smile.

"Boss Gu, you're welcome." The scholar saluted Gu Xiaoyou, packed up his things and left.
