Liu Shimei did not head directly back to the Grand Chancellor’s Residence. Instead, she took Huangfu Lingyao to the main street near the City God Temple.

The Fusheng Pavilion’s renovation was completed to perfection, as she had personally inspected. Now, the Jiang and Wu families were delivering medicinal herbs, and when they arrived, Xu Xian was cross-referencing the list, directing his assistants to categorize and store the herbs in cabinets.

Shu Jun was also present. He knew much more about medicinal herbs than the hired help, and with him overseeing, there was no concern about the quality of the herbs.

“Master,” Shu Jun hastily bowed upon seeing Liu Shimei enter.

Xu Xian set aside the checklist and called out, “Eldest Young Miss!”

While Liu Shimei had instructed him to use her name, he simply could not do it. Calling her ‘Eldest Young Miss’ felt more comfortable, especially when Silly Second Prince was with her. When he was by her side, nobody dared to address her directly by name, lest they incur the disdainful gaze of King Dun Yu.

Silly as he might be, Liu Shimei protected him, and she would not allow anyone around her to belittle him.

Liu Shimei did not pay much attention to these details and asked, “Are we ready?”

“We’re nearly there,” Xu Xian nodded. “We’ve been implementing Eldest Miss’s plan step by step. Young Master Shu has also been overseeing. Afterward, I personally double-checked to ensure there were no oversights.”

Even though he said this, Liu Shimei trusted that Xu Xian was meticulous in his work. Moreover, she had the assistance of Shang Lu and Shang Zhi, not to mention the genius of Shu Jun’s mind.

However, this was Liu Shimei’s first foray into managing a private medical hall. It was her inaugural entrepreneurial endeavor, and there were many aspects she wanted to be personally involved in.

After taking another look around inside and out to confirm everything was in order, she handed the opening and publicity plan to Xu Xian and said, “Follow the instructions in there. If you can’t find suitable individuals, consult my Ninth Brother. He’s more than capable in this regard. I’ve already discussed it with him in advance.”

In modern terms, ‘publicity’ was the equivalent of ‘promotion’ or ‘hype’.

There’s a saying: Good wine needs no bush.

However, when it came to actual operations, to quickly get on the right track and the path to profitability, even good wine feared the depth of the alley!

No matter how advanced one’s medical skills were, it was not something that could be built into a reputation in just one or two days.

By using the power of publicity and continuous bombardment, one could leave a clear mark in people’s minds. So much so that when this person thinks about seeking medical attention in the future, they would recall: Oh, we can go to Fusheng Pavilion, right?

Adding to this, she had her own ‘celebrity halo’, although her reputation was not exactly flattering, but hey, any kind of fame is still fame!

Xu Xian glanced at the table of contents in the proposal and his eyes lit up. “Eldest Young Miss, how do you come up with such brilliant ideas?”

Regarding this proposal, Huangfu Lingyao had secretly taken a look at it.

Indeed, it was stunning. It made him repeatedly wonder what on earth was going on in his wife’s mind. When it came to these well-organized matters, she was as precise as a machine!

Even the layout of the promotional pamphlets and the eye-catching slogans were all designed, waiting only for someone to transcribe and distribute them.

Liu Shimei continued, “On the opening day, all the patients I handle will receive free consultations; we’ll only charge for the medicines, not the doctor’s fee.”

Xu Xian was in awe of her and naturally followed her instructions.

After further instructions on some details, Liu Shimei asked about a crucial staffing issue, “What about the doctors?”

Xu Xian replied, “They’ll be in their own consulting rooms, arranging them to their liking.”

These medical elites had mostly stayed because of Liu Shimei’s “Red Cockroach” incident. Nobody could figure out how so many people failed to catch him, and Iron Saber’s dramatic escape still haunted them.

But to fully win them over, more impressive skills would be required.

Liu Shimei was not in a hurry. Since they had chosen to stay, they would gradually be influenced.

She then treated all the employees to a meal at Immortal Guest Restaurant and instructed Lu Ying to take Huangfu Lingyao back to the Wang Residence. With Mo’er following her, she entered the entrance of the Grand Chancellor’s Residence.

Just as they entered, they heard the housekeeper saying, “Eldest Young Miss, Master asks you to go to his study as soon as you return.”

Liu Shimei raised an eyebrow.

What was this scoundrel of a father up to now?
