Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Gu Yundong was silent. Is that all you can think of?
She looked at Duan Qian and his sister, whose eyes were curious, and said, “It’s going to be a grocery store.”
Duan Qian was speechless. The commotion on the street outside was a little loud, and he didn’t seem to have heard her clearly.
Duan Wan stood up directly. “What did you say? A grocery store? You’re using such a good shop in such a good location as a grocery store?”
Duan Qian suddenly reacted and pulled her. “Wanwan, don’t be rude.”
Duan Wan snorted angrily and suddenly turned her head away, not saying anything else.
Gu Yundong laughed. “It’s precisely because the location is good that it’s used as a grocery store. I looked at the entire street. There are only two grocery stores, and they’re small and incomprehensive. People need it urgently.”
Duan Qian thought for a moment. He had really not noticed this.
The Duan family was mainly in the tea business. Of course, they had dabbled in other businesses, but he really didn’t have a grocery store.
As for whether it was convenient for shopping or not, with their status, they would not care. There were servants who would do it.
Now that he heard Gu Yundong’s words, it made sense.
“Young Master Duan, are you looking down on my small grocery store?” Gu Yundong asked with a smile.
Duan Qian immediately shook his head. “Of course not. It’s just unexpected.” “Will Young Master Duan still take care of our small grocery store?” “Haha, Miss Gu is too humble. No matter what, we’ve met twice. I’m thick- skinned enough to call myself your friend. Friends naturally take care of each other.”
“Thankyou very much.” Gu Yundong then introduced the Yu father and son. “These are Uncle Yu and Brother Yu Jin. They will manage this shop from now on. Uncle Yu, you heard what Young Master Duan said. If you encounter any trouble in the future, feel free to look for him. We are friends.”
Duan Qian: “…” I didn’t expect you to be so good at climbing up the ladder.
The corners of Duan Wan’s mouth twitched. Couldn’t this woman tell that he was just being polite?
Uncle Yu was a little excited and nervous, and his palms were sweating. Although he had gotten used to it, he had never interacted with someone of Duan Qian’s status.
“Hello, Young Master Duan. I’m Yu Yanghong. Please take care of me.”
Duan Qian stood up. “Manager Yu, you’re too polite.”
He had heard that Lady Gu addressed the Yu father and son as Uncle and Brother. In other words, she did not treat them as ordinary subordinates. They had a deeper bond.
He looked at Gu Yundong. “Miss Gu, do you mean to leave Wanqing Prefecture?”
“Yes, I’ll leave after a while. I might come over occasionally in the future. The next time I come, I’ll bring something for Young Master Duan. Perhaps we can work together?”
Duan Qian was stunned. She was indeed not from Wanqing Prefecture.
However, he quickly became interested in the collaboration she mentioned. He wanted to know more, but Gu Yundong did not elaborate.
The two of them exchanged a few polite words. Duan Qian left a jade token and told Uncle Yu to look for him if anything happened. Then, he left.
To be able to leave behind a jade token was already very sincere.
Gu Yundong walked them out.
Looking at their backs as they spoke at the door, Uncle Yu heaved a sigh of relief and said, “No wonder the Gu girl could protect her mother and younger siblings all the way to the Xuanhe Prefecture in such a difficult environment. She even got a shop and servants in just half a year. This girl is not an ordinary person.”
Yu Jin nodded and looked down at the jade pendant in his hand. “Father, this…”
