Chapter 624: Who Are You?

Editor: Henyee Translations

The shop that Shao Qingyuan had bought was not in the center of the prefecture capital, but it was still a prosperous area. The road in front of the shop was very wide, and there were many people coming and going.

The shop was a two-story building with a small courtyard at the back. The courtyard was not big, but it was enough to accommodate people.

Gu Yundong walked around the shop and was very satisfied.

Seeing this, Shao Qingyuan couldn’t help but laugh and say, “This shop used to be a bookstore. The owner was a scholar who only read books. He wasn’t good at managing the bookstore left behind by his father, so he handed it over to the original shopkeeper. Unfortunately…”

Unfortunately, the shopkeeper was a greedy person. Not only did he sell inferior goods, but he also secretly embezzled a lot of money from the shop. Not long ago, a scholar did not receive the remuneration he deserved after copying books for the bookstore. He could not help but shout in the academy, allowing the owner to know about it. Only then did the owner start to investigate the shop.

The result almost made him faint from anger. Not only did the shop suffer a huge loss, but it also owed a lot of foreign debt.

He immediately sent the shopkeeper to the government and got back a portion of the money, but there was still a huge debt that he could not fill. Scholars cared about their reputation the most, especially since the bookstore owed many students money for their hard work. He had no choice but to sell the shop.

Gu Yundong sighed and sympathized with the scholar.

However, she quickly threw it aside and began to think about how to renovate the shop in front of him.

“Why don’t we get Uncle Feng to come over?” Shao Qingyuan suggested. “He has worked in the prefectural city before. He knows people here. We won’t have to worry about not having any connections.”

Gu Yundong’s eyes lit up. “Sure.”

She had a good impression of Feng Daneng. Uncle Feng was the one who helped renovate Gu’s previously.

Now, Uncle Feng had a lot of work to do. He already had a mature workforce under him, but most of the work he took on was from the nearby villages. Occasionally, people from the town and county would look for him.

But Gu Yundong knew that Uncle Feng was also ambitious and naturally hoped to go further and higher.

The renovation of the shop did not require many people. Uncle Feng only needed to bring two helpers.

“Tomorrow morning, I’ll get Ah Shu to go back quickly and bring Uncle Feng over.”

“Sure.”

Gu Yundong thought that tonight, she would have to make a renovation plan according to the structure of this shop.

Just as the two of them were chatting, a few voices suddenly came from outside.

Gu Yundong and Shao Qingyuan looked at each other and walked into the shop.

As soon as they came out, they saw a familiar middle-aged man striding in and glaring at them with an unfriendly expression.

“It’s you?”

Gu Yundong was stunned for a moment. Then, she suddenly remembered. Wasn’t this middle-aged man the person she saw at Jinxiu Restaurant the day before yesterday who wanted to reserve a private room?

According to the shop assistant Laixi, he was the steward of the Zhou family?

Steward Zhou was furious. He looked at Gu Yundong and the other two and sneered. “Did you buy this shop?”

Gu Yundong frowned. She had always been friendly to friendly people. She ignored people who seemed to have eyes on their heads.

Therefore, after glancing at the middle-aged man, she turned back to her shop. On the other hand, Zheng Gang asked him coldly, “Who are you?”

“Don’t care who I am. Do you know that my master took a fancy to this shop first?” Alright, he had previously fought over the private room with her and now, he was snatching the shop from her. Where did this bandit come from? His reach was getting longer and longer.
