Chapter 687: Quiet in the Noise

Feng Daneng was also in the backyard today. He heard many people say that the structure of the shop was refreshing. While he was happy, he was also a little disappointed.
Because although these people liked the place a lot, they didn’t have any suitable jobs for him.
However, this was also good. Business did not come easily. As long as everyone thought of him when they needed him in the future, it was enough.
Unexpectedly, Gu Yundong came looking for him at night.
“Uncle Feng, you might not be able to leave for the time being. There’s a shop to be renovated in a few days, so I’ll have to trouble you.”
Feng Daneng was so excited that his eyes lit up.
Not only him, but the two carpenters who followed him also asked anxiously, “Yundong, are you serious? Where is it?”
“It’s on Ming’an Road. I’m not sure how big the shop is. I’ll go take a look in two days.”
Feng Daneng nodded repeatedly. “Alright, alright, alright. Then we’ll wait. When the construction should start, just tell us. We can go over at any time.”
Gu Yundong smiled. “Alright, Uncle Feng, you can take this opportunity to meet with your old friends. You won’t have time when you’re busy later.”
With that, Gu Yundong went home with everyone else.
After dinner, she then talked about her plans to open a shop with Madam Dai and Nie Shuang.
Everyone at the dining table was stunned. Cooperate with the prefecture magistrate’s wife and Miss Nie??
Opening another shop??
“What’s wrong?” Gu Yundong raised her eyebrows. “Can’t I?”
“Sure.” Shao Qingyuan supported her unconditionally, no matter what she said.
Gu Dajiang nodded repeatedly. “I don’t know as much about business as you do, but won’t you be too tired?”
“It’s okay. I can still handle it.”
The others didn’t say anything after hearing this. Only Shao Qingyuan shook his hand slightly. His future wife was walking too quickly, so he had to work hard to keep up.
In the next two days, Gu’s business gradually stabilized.
On the third day, the shop on Ming’an Road was tidied up. Madam Dai invited her and Nie Shuang to take a look.
The shop was quite big, even bigger than Gu’s. It was also a two-story building and had a spacious backyard.
After being cleaned up, without the obstruction of the shelves, it looked exceptionally empty.
Madam Dai brought the two of them around and stood in the hall again. She asked with a smile, “How is it? Not bad, right?”
“It’s not just good. It’s very pleasing.” Nie Shuang was too satisfied.
Gu Yundong also nodded. “The location is good. It’s quiet in the midst of the commotion. It’s very suitable for drinking tea, chatting, and reading books. The backyard is also big enough. We can also design a few isolated rooms. They can be divided into several areas.”
Madam Dai was a little proud when she heard that. “Since this shop is fine, let’s discuss how to renovate it.” Yesterday, when she went back and told the prefecture magistrate about this, he still looked a little uncertain. Madam Dai couldn’t wait to achieve results for him to see.
Gu Yundong took out a piece of paper and a charcoal pen from his sling bag. “Yes, let’s discuss it first. I’ll draw all my opinions and see how the effect is.”
As they spoke, they moved to the courtyard. There were stone tables and stools there, just enough for them to rest.
“I’ll go first.” Nie Shuang was very excited and sat on the stone bench first. “I like the long chair on Sister Yundong’s second floor. It’s a little like a beautiful couch, but it’s also a little different. It’s very comfortable to sit on.”
As Gu Yundong listened, she drew the structural design of the shop.
She moved quickly, multitasking, but Nie Shuang stopped talking.
