After crossing, I was miserable.

After drinking a bowl of hot hangover soup in the morning, I went to see my boss with full confidence.

But after listening to Qian Duoduo's intention, the boss directly refused. He said that this was his family's ancestral business and he had no intention of selling it. Moreover, he was old and it would take more effort to open a new restaurant. Therefore, he directly rejected Qian Duoduo.

Qian Duoduo believes that nothing is difficult in the world except that there is not enough money.

"Pa", Qian Duoduo slapped 10 silver notes of 100 taels on the table.

The shopkeeper was startled, but soon recovered. He smiled and said, "Thank you for your recognition of our inn, but I really have no intention of selling it. You see, at my age, even if I get the money, it's not easy for me to do anything else. Rather than eating up the mountain, it's better to keep the family business and feel more at ease."

"Pa", Qian Duoduo took out 10 silver notes again. The shopkeeper looked at the silver notes. Although the business of this restaurant was not bad, he had never seen so much money at one time. Just as the shopkeeper was in a daze,

"Pah", Qian Duoduo threw out another 20 silver bills.

"Niangniang (Niannian), you made things so serious? You're going to scare people to death!"

"What?"

Qian Duoduo didn't understand the shopkeeper's sudden dialect and thought he was dissatisfied with the amount. This shouldn't be the case. She had learned in advance that 1000 taels was the normal price. Now that he had given 4000 taels, he was still not satisfied?

"Snapped"

"Add another 1000 taels. How about that, shopkeeper?"

The shopkeeper was a little nervous about this matter. He didn't understand why this black brother was interested in this inn. Did he know that this was Mr. Bai's property and wanted to get close to him? But he hadn't asked anything in the past two days. Apart from going out by himself, he just stayed in the room, and it didn't seem like he was trying to get close to him.

"I wonder if you could tell the merchants what you like about our restaurant?" The shopkeeper raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his forehead and continued, "To be honest, although my restaurant is doing well, it is not suitable for you to spend so much money to buy it. This banknote is enough to open a new restaurant. I dare not lie to you."

Qian Duoduo looked at the shopkeeper. She didn't expect him to say such a thing. She thought it would be easy to buy the shop. She thought for a moment, rolled her eyes, and said, "I'm lazy."

"Hmm?" The shopkeeper was speechless for a moment. He really didn't expect this reason. Could it be that this was a rich young man from outside the capital who had come out to experience the sufferings of the world?

Looking at the shopkeeper's hesitant expression, his face was so tangled that it looked like a dumpling.

"How about this, I won't make it difficult for you. I'll give you three days to think about it. After all, it's a bit abrupt for me to come to you to buy the ancestral home. Think about it carefully. I want a clear answer in three days. And don't worry, even if I buy your inn, the people inside, including you, will not move. I will still ask you to continue to be the shopkeeper, you can rest assured about this."

After saying that, he left without even looking back, leaving behind the confused Shopkeeper Zhou.

After some thought, Shopkeeper Zhou organized his words and hurried to contact his master, the real owner of the restaurant.

When Bai Ningchuan received the letter from the shopkeeper, he was listening to music in another restaurant. This was the famous Fanlou in the capital. Although Fanlou was just a restaurant, it was prosperous, not only relying on food, but also on the people who accompanied the banquets, singing and dancing. It was the most famous place for the nobles in the capital to visit. Lu Shaoxuan was a frequent visitor here. And there was his own room here.

"Wow, this is really wonderful. Come, drink, fill up your glass." Lu Shaoxuan joked to the beauty beside him.

At this time, there were three beauties in the room. Each of them had their own characteristics and merits. One was stunningly beautiful, one was pure and innocent, and one was smart and clever. They were Chunhua, Qiuyue, and Baixue. Xia was not feeling well today, so she did not come.

"Hey, why don't you two drink? Don't you know that in this world, only beautiful women and good wine are worth living for?" Then he raised his wine glass, swayed his body, and listened to the music played by Chunhua and Baixue. What a pleasure it is!

"dong dong dong"

"Master, there is a letter from Shopkeeper Zhou."

"Come in."

The guard pushed open the door, came in with his head lowered, and handed over the letter from Manager Zhou with both hands.

Bai Ningchuan opened the letter and read it quickly.

"Shaoxuan, let them leave."

Lu Shaoxuan gave a look, and Chunhua, Qiuyue and Baixue bowed slightly and retreated.

Bai Ningchuan handed the letter to Chu Yan.

"Look, do you know this person?"

Chu Yan and Lu Shaoxuan read the letters one after another.

"Who is this guy? Why does he want to buy your restaurant?" Lu Shaoxuan asked first.

"He is from Wu County. His parents died in a flood in his hometown. He fled here with the refugees. But he should have some money, but he didn't show it when he was fleeing. He was probably afraid of getting into trouble. Later he begged for food all the way to the capital. You should have seen him. He is the dark... dark boy who lives on the second floor. He is dark and thin. From what we know so far, there is no big problem. But we still need to investigate it again to avoid any trap."

Chu Yan appeared to be calm and composed on the surface, but he was actually complaining constantly in his heart.

"Good boy, you've chased me to this extent. Did she live next door to us on purpose? Well, no, Shopkeeper Zhou wouldn't do that. There was no special instruction to not let people live in the room next to ours, just keep our room. It should be that after that morning, after confirming my situation, she came up with this idea, it's really dirty. Fortunately, I was prepared and had already checked her background."

Chu Yan has now completely forgotten that although he held Qian Duoduo hostage that night, Qian Duoduo was in a coma the entire time. Even if they met the next day, she would not recognize that this was the person who held her hostage that night.

"Huh? What's going on? Yan, you actually talk so much? No, how do you know about that guy? Why are you investigating him? Have you two fought?" Lu Shaoxuan said excitedly, "How is he? He is powerful, right? Can he beat me?"

"I did see that person." Bai Ningchuan thought about it for a moment and then remembered. He smiled slightly, revealing his delicate and gentle face, "It was the person who was singing outside the door that day. He should be living in the room next to us. I didn't expect it to be him."

"What did you say? He is the person who sang to you and chatted you up that day? That's not right. From what I heard that day, it should be a woman's voice. How come he has become a man now? Also, how come you two have seen him but I haven't. Humph, I don't care. I'm going to go over and see which insane person wants to buy this inn." As he said that, he put on his clothes and was ready to leave in a hurry.

"Wait, there's no rush. He said he would give us three days to consider, why are you in such a hurry?" Bai Ningchuan quickly stopped him.

Chu Yan was complaining in his heart at this time, "Good boy, you actually went to tease Xiao Bai first, you are really too brave. Just wait and see how I deal with you."

Chu Yan couldn't tell about his relationship with Qian Duoduo, so they were all silent. Bai Ningchuan was thinking about selling the inn, while Lu Shaoxuan was drinking some wine. Chu Yan only said, "1 taels".

"What?" Lu Shaoxuan jumped up in fear. "Are you crazy? You want to sell it for 1 taels. This is just a restaurant that the three of us bought when we were bored. For..."

Chu Yan glanced at him.

"That's good. We can try to see what he wants to do. I don't think there are such rich secret agents in other congresses."
