Yang Caiyun answered the phone quickly; it only rang once before she picked it up.

"Sis, where are you? What's going on with the new store? It's past nine o'clock, and it's not open yet," Chen Yang asked with a smile.

Upon hearing Chen Yang's words, Yang Caiyun was taken aback for a moment: "Yang Zi, are you at the new store's entrance?"

"Yeah, I have some free time today, so I wanted to come by and see you," Chen Yang said with a smile.

Chen Yang's sweet words made Yang Caiyun laugh heartily.

"You! Either you don't contact me at all or contact me when there's trouble. What's the deal?" Yang Caiyun spoke with a hint of resentment. Then she added, "The new store will open a bit later; I'm primarily managing the old store now. Come find me at the old store, let's have lunch together. I have some things to discuss with you."

"Alright, then wait for me, I'll be right over."

Chen Yang chuckled as he agreed and then hung up the phone, driving towards Yang Caiyun's old store.

With the opening of the new store, Chen Yang initially thought it would take away most of the old store's business.

Because the people who came to eat at Yang Caiyun's Fish House were mostly some small bosses or small business owners from the county.

Now, with a new store in the county, there would definitely be people who'd prefer not to travel far and choose to eat in the county instead.

But unexpectedly, the old store's business was still as good as ever. By just past ten, almost eleven, guests were already there, reserving tables.

"It seems like the village needs to reserve a storefront for Caiyun so she can open one there too."

Chen Yang thought to himself as he walked into the store.

He was all too familiar with the Fish House.

Coming here felt like coming home, and he quickly found Yang Caiyun.

After not seeing each other for so long, Chen Yang had some thoughts running through his mind.

As for Yang Caiyun, she had even more thoughts than Chen Yang.

After meeting, they naturally went to the third floor, where they stayed until noon at twelve o'clock when they finally stopped.

After tidying up a bit, Yang Caiyun spoke: "Yang Zi, you must be hungry, right? Let's go downstairs and have a meal together. I have something to discuss with you too."

"Okay, okay," Chen Yang nodded with a smile and followed Yang Caiyun downstairs.

It was just after twelve, right at the peak of the store's business hours.

The store was bustling, busy beyond belief.

But Yang Caiyun had already prepared a sumptuous lunch in the house at the back yard of the restaurant.

So, when they got downstairs, they could start eating right away.

Chen Yang hadn't visited Yang Caiyun for a while and thus hadn't tasted the Fish House's river fish specialty in some time.

Suddenly eating it now, it tasted incredibly fresh, and the flavors were excellent.

The wild mountain mushrooms paired with river fish created an absolutely exquisite taste.

"Oh right, sis. Eating your river fish reminds me of something," Chen Yang suddenly said.

"Hmm? What is it?" Yang Caiyun turned to look at him.

"The village's tourist area is about to open, right? I was thinking about reserving a store for you so that you could open a branch there too. Such great flavors shouldn't be wasted," Chen Yang said, recalling what came to mind as he entered earlier.

Yang Caiyun was momentarily speechless after hearing Chen Yang, but then she readily agreed with a smile after a few seconds.

"That would totally work; with people coming and going at the tourist area, business would definitely be booming," Yang Caiyun said with a smile.

"Yeah, okay. I'll keep an eye out for you, and I'll notify you when one's available, then you can come for the renovation," Chen Yang also smiled, casually helping himself to some meat for Yang Caiyun.

They ate silently for a while, and then Chen Yang asked Yang Caiyun about the thing she wanted to discuss.

"Yep, I was planning to discuss it after the meal, but since you're asking, I'll say it now," Yang Caiyun smiled slightly and began: "Yang Zi, I want to buy an apartment for Qianqian in the province."

What?

Upon hearing Yang Caiyun's words, Chen Yang was momentarily surprised.

"You want to buy an apartment for Qianqian in the province?" Chen Yang asked, astonished, looking at Yang Caiyun.

"Yes, I want to," Yang Caiyun nodded earnestly and then explained her reasoning.

"Qianqian is getting older now and will soon be going to college. I was thinking about preparing her dowry early, so since I have some money now, I might as well buy an apartment in the province for her. Besides, the housing prices have been rising in recent years, so buying property is also a form of investment, which is why I have this idea."

After laying out her reasoning, Yang Caiyun added: "Of course, this is just my current thought, and whether we proceed or not, I still want to discuss it with you."

Chen Yang, after hearing what Yang Caiyun said, was no longer as surprised.

Having money and wanting to buy a house is quite normal.

His initial astonishment was merely due to the suddenness of the idea.

"Well... if you have money, buying one is indeed a good option," Chen Yang thought about it and finally nodded, agreeing with Yang Caiyun's plan.

Seeing Chen Yang nod, the smile on Yang Caiyun's face became even wider.

"Alright, with your approval, I feel more settled," Yang Caiyun said with a smiling face full of joy.

"Haha, buying a house is a good thing; it's also an investment. There's no reason to feel unsure about it," Chen Yang said after taking a sip of water.

"I was just worried that there might be something inappropriate, but now that you've said this, I'm definitely at ease," Yang Caiyun said while pouring more water into Chen Yang's glass.

Then she added, "Yang Zi, since you agree, when you have the time, could you accompany me to the province? I've been researching the local real estate and have found a few suitable options."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang agreed without hesitation.

"Sure, once I have time, I can also bring Qianqian along to check it out," Chen Yang said.

"Great! Let me know when you have time, and we'll go together," Yang Caiyun said excitedly, very happy.

She treated Chen Yang like her own man, discussing everything from big issues to small ones with him.

After they finished discussing matters and almost done eating,

Chen Yang and Yang Caiyun chatted for a bit more before getting up to leave, as he had things to do in the afternoon.

Yang Caiyun knew how busy Chen Yang had been lately.

Given the large projects he was involved in, she didn't try to keep him longer.

Seeing Chen Yang about to leave, she gently placed a kiss on his cheek and then saw him off with a smile.

"Yang Zi, feel free to contact me whenever you have time. If not immediately, later is fine too," Yang Caiyun said as they stood at the door.

"Okay, I will," Chen Yang said with a smile, nodding. After exchanging a few more words with Yang Caiyun, he drove off.

Upon leaving the Fish House, Chen Yang drove towards Liuhe Village.

But nearing Liuhe Village, he took a turn at an intersection, heading towards Shangshan Village.

Eventually, he parked the car in front of Lao Sun's house in Shangshan Village.

Yesterday evening, Chen Yang discussed with Li Han and Wu Kexin their plan to establish a water rafting project using the reservoir at the mountain behind Shangshan Village.

However, he didn't know much about the mountain behind Shangshan Village.

Therefore, to understand the reservoir better, he needed someone familiar with the paths to guide him.

And Lao Sun was just the right person for this.

Thus, Chen Yang went to find Lao Sun.

As luck would have it, Lao Sun was at home, and seeing Chen Yang suddenly appearing, he was quite surprised.
