After crossing, I surrounded the capital from the countryside

She stood upstairs, looking down at Shopkeeper Zhao with a cold gaze.

Although her face was young, she looked extremely firm and calm at the moment, as if she had experienced countless trials and tribulations. Shopkeeper Zhao's mocking voice echoed in her ears, but her heart was as calm as water, not affected at all.

She raised her chin slightly, her tone calm but with a force that could not be ignored: "In this case, Shopkeeper Zhao, why don't we wait and see."

Although her voice was not loud, it seemed to have a penetrating power, allowing everyone present to hear it clearly.

Shopkeeper Zhao was shocked by her words for a moment, and then his face became even gloomier.

The air around them seemed to freeze, and everyone held their breath, waiting for the next conflict. However, Xu Qingqing just smiled faintly and turned back to her room.

The real opponent is always at a higher level, so why waste time on a small dog bark.

Shopkeeper Zhao was shocked by Xu Qingqing's calmness and confidence. He stood there in a daze, his eyes wide open, as if he could see through her. His face turned pale and his lips pursed tightly, revealing his inner anger and unwillingness.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm the anger in his heart, with a trembling and threatening voice: "Xu Qingqing, don't think you have won like this, let's wait and see!"

Xu Qingqing did not turn around, but just smiled gently, as if she had already expected Manager Zhao's reaction.

Her voice was calm and confident: "Manager Zhao, why are you so angry? The real battle lies in wisdom and strategy, not verbal disputes."

Some people in the crowd were whispering and talking about it. Some people admired Xu Qingqing's calmness and said in a low voice: "This girl is really extraordinary. Facing the ridicule of Shopkeeper Zhao, she can be so calm."

Some people were also surprised by Manager Zhao's anger and loss of composure.

Shopkeeper Zhao listened to the discussions around him, and his face became even gloomier. He glared at Xu Qingqing fiercely and turned away. His back looked a little embarrassed, but there was a gleam of unwillingness in his eyes.

Xu Qingqing turned her head slightly to look at the departing figure of Shopkeeper Zhao and shook her head gently.

……

While Manager Zhao's heart was raging with rage, the construction speed of Xiaoyao Sect was incredibly fast.

They were dressed in grey sect uniforms and holding various tools, carrying out the reconstruction work inside the shop in an orderly manner, as well as connecting the shops and rebuilding them as a whole.

As bags of cement were used, broken wooden boards and broken tables and chairs were moved out one by one and neatly stacked outside the store.

Each shop was covered with a hood, and the interior decoration could no longer be seen.

Everyone was intrigued by this scene, and Shopkeeper Zhao couldn't help but spit: "Pretending!"

No matter what the outside world is like, the members of the Xiaoyao Sect carry out their work in an orderly manner.

They expertly mixed these materials to prepare cement slurry suitable for construction.

Every store has a person who looks like a leader. He directs everyone and ensures that every step is carried out in an orderly manner.

He held a ruler, sometimes measuring the height of the wall, sometimes checking the flatness of the ground, not missing any details.

The rest of the people divided the work into groups, some were responsible for carrying materials, some were responsible for mixing cement, and some were responsible for building walls and leveling the ground. Although their movements seemed simple, they revealed a tacit understanding and coordination, as if they had undergone a long period of training and cooperation.

As time went by, the interior of the store gradually became brand new. The originally dilapidated walls were rebuilt, becoming flat and solid; the ground was also smoothed, as smooth as a mirror, reflecting a faint luster.

After completing the cement construction, the people of Xiaoyao Sect not only paid attention to the sturdiness and beauty of the house, but also specially set up some unique decorations in the corners of the store.

An exquisite landscape painting is carefully hung on the wall. It uses delicate brushstrokes to outline the ups and downs of the mountains and the twists and turns of the water, as if the entire natural beauty is condensed in this painting.

Whenever people walk into the store, they will be attracted by this landscape painting, as if they are surrounded by mountains and rivers, feeling the tranquility and beauty of nature.

Of course, this is Mr. Shen’s collection, the kind that no one knows about.

In addition, the pots of green plants placed on the windowsill also add a touch of vitality to the store. These green plants have emerald green leaves and bright flowers. They thrive under the sunshine and exude a fresh scent.

These green plants not only beautify the store environment, but also make people feel a natural comfort and harmony.

What is more worth mentioning is that although the exterior styles of all the stores are extremely uniform, their interiors have their own merits.

Each store is decorated and arranged according to its own characteristics, making each store have its own unique charm. Whether it is selling books, wine, or special snacks, they can show their own characteristics while maintaining integrity.

When Xu Qingqing designed the store location, she fully considered people's movement paths and needs. She cleverly divided the space to ensure that it would not be crowded due to the large number of people entering.

Each route is designed reasonably and smoothly, allowing people to easily find the goods or services they need.

Xu Qingqing was fully prepared for this.

When the renovation of the 'Lun Xiaoyao' shopping mall was almost completed, Xu Qingqing began to prepare for the opening of various stores.

Xu Qingqing stood in the spacious and bright kitchen, surrounded by the chefs selected by Xiaoyao Sect. She held a number of exquisite recipes in her hands, with a serious look on her face.

"These recipes are classics passed down from generation to generation, and each dish has its own unique flavor and production process."

As Xu Qingqing spoke, she distributed the recipe to each chef.

The chefs received the recipes with excitement in their eyes. They couldn't wait to open the recipes and carefully read the cooking methods and ingredients required for each dish.

Maybe they couldn't understand it at all, but that didn't stop each of them from shaking with excitement in their hands while holding the recipe.

"In addition to these recipes, I have also prepared some desserts, hoping to make our menu more diverse," Xu Qingqing continued.

The chefs came closer to watch and exclaimed in admiration from time to time.

Xu Qingqing began to instruct the chefs on how to operate and the techniques for handling ingredients. She patiently tasted and answered the chefs' questions, giving them some advice and pointers from time to time.

After the chefs gradually became familiar with and mastered these techniques, Xu Qingqing secretly took out a batch of exquisite jewelry from the space and prepared to sell them as luxury goods on the second floor. The main consumers were dignitaries, landlords and wealthy people.
