Manager Liu was genuinely shocked. He never expected that a family who grew chili peppers would receive such a lavish gift for opening a small shop.
The situation was incredibly awkward, making his own gift of silver seem completely lacking in sincerity.
Manager Wang, standing beside him, was equally embarrassed. Young Master Zhu had told him to come offer congratulations, so he had only prepared a gift of twenty taels of silver. He and Manager Liu exchanged a glance, and both men forced an awkward smile.
Even Gu Fei was taken aback. 'Su Chen is being far too extravagant,' she thought. 'The more lavish the gift, the more pressure it puts on me. I can't possibly reciprocate with something of equal value, whether in money or in any other way.'
With a complicated expression, Gu Fei instructed Tie Niu, "You and Xiao Lu carry this inside. Put it on top of the wine cabinet."
Tie Niu and Xiao Lu quickly and carefully carried the item inside.
