Chapter 363 - Then what is your yearly profit? (1/2)

Zhao Ming frowned seeing her sleeping like this rather than answering her questions.

She called him out, ” Supervisor Yu Kang. YU KANG” she said loudly when he didn't respond to her for the first time.

Yu Kang was startled when she suddenly shouted at him.

” What the hell are you doing?” he yelled as her piercing voice startled him.

Zhao Ming frowned when she saw him behaving this way. She was shocked when he suddenly yelled at her.

Yu Kang remembered that she is the Empress after all and he can't behave casually with her.

He cleared her throat seeing her glare and said,” I apologize to her highness. I fell asleep while showing you around. And I am sorry for my behavior as well. I was startled and that's why I behaved this way.”

He apologized to her politely. But Zhao Ming could see that he was not sorry at all. His head was slightly down but he was looking here and there and was taking her as a nobody.

She frowned seeing her behavior because what kind of Supervisor behaves this way?

If he is good at his work, then he should have at least basic etiquettes that one should not sleep while working and especially he was following the Empress and was treating her like a nobody.

” Supervisor Yu Kang, is this how you work? Is this what you learn from your long time experience to sleep while working? Looks like Brother Wen is so cruel with his workers that they don't get time to sleep and they need to sleep while working.” she looked at him sarcastically.

She knows that unlike other places, Brother Wen takes care of his workers better than others. He was sleeping while showing her around because he was not interested not because he was sleepy.

Yu Kang's expression turned dark hearing Zhao Ming's words. No one has talked to him like this before.

He was an expert in his profession and no one has questioned his work ethics before. He looked at her and gritted his teeth in anger.

' This bitch, just because she is an Empress she is thinking herself all high and mighty. She is nothing but a play toy of his highness. WIthout her she is nothing and here she comes to question me?'

” Your Highness, I was wrong. Please don't say anything to Prince Wen about this.” however, he lowered himself and apologized to her once again as he can't let her bring this issue to Wen Ru.

If that happens that his position could get in trouble.

Zhao Ming looked at Yu Kang and didn't say anything when he apologized. She asked him the same question that she asked before and he answered it.

After a while, she asked him, ” What is the profit of the shop this year?” she asked as she keenly looked around the shop.

She was curious how much they can earn because they focus both customers that are common people and nobles as well.

If she were to sell her items here then she needs to consider everything. If she wanted to earn money on her own and wanted to get rich then she needs to check if this place can make her any profit or not.

Yu Kang was caught off guard when he heard her question. He has never seen a girl showing interest in the workings of the shop. They only ask about the products when they come.

He frowned and replied, ” Apologies to her highness. This is confidential information and I can't tell you about it. You can ask me about something else” he said politely.

He wanted to show her the real place but kept his words polite while rejecting her. Because this girl was not as gentle and kind as he had heard.

It was his first time seeing the Empress in the public and he could see why she never appeared in public before. It is because of her rude personality.

She has no manners and does not know how to talk to other people.

Zhao Ming nodded and understood his reasoning.

She has studied business and it is indeed not good to reveal your profit to someone else because it will show how profitable this business is and it can create more competitors in the market.
