The villain and the powerful official secretly read the diary and broke my plot every day

"Boss, this is a silver note worth one hundred thousand taels from Qingyun Money House. It can be exchanged nationwide." Zhang Fugui handed a stack of silver notes directly to Gu Yanhuan.

"Hmm?" Gu Yanhuan was stunned for a moment when he heard Zhang Fugui's address.

She, has become the boss now?

Gu Yanhuan had just drunk a lot of fruit wine, and her face was flushed, making her look particularly beautiful. She saw the stack of banknotes and took them casually. Without even looking at them, she handed them to Yun Yue: "Sister Yun, you have the final say in our business, so naturally you will be in charge of the money too."

"Ah."

Yun Yue did not refuse. She took the banknote and then looked at Zhang Fugui again. Zhang Fugui immediately understood and trotted around the table to Yun Yue.

"Mr. Yun, do you have any instructions?" Zhang Fugui looked at Yun Yue sincerely.

This guy is really smart.

Yun Yue smiled and said, "Our business needs to be located in a prosperous area. The bigger the better. Of course, we can't afford an expensive place either. The price of the shop needs to be kept between 130,000 and 150,000 taels. Boss Zhang, you have a wide network of contacts and are familiar with the major markets in the capital. I'll leave the task of finding a shop to you."

Having said that, Yun Yue returned the 100,000 taels of silver to Zhang Fugui.

"Boss Yun, you can just call me Fugui from now on." Zhang Fugui smiled at Yun Yue and said, "I have some connections with the heads of several nearby pawnbrokers. You can leave this matter to me without any worries!"

Seeing Yun Yue return the banknote to him without a second thought, Zhang Fugui knew that his new boss was an open-minded person, and it was very likely that he had made the right bet this time!

…………

After sending Zhang Fugui away, the few of them continued to talk about business matters.

Gu Yanhuan was incredibly excited today, pestering Yun Yue with questions. She seemed very interested in those card games, but...

"Those card games do sound novel, but they are also very easy to be imitated. Then... wouldn't we be making wedding dresses for others?" Gu Yanhuan was still very concerned about this.

"That's fine. We'll only launch basic gameplay at first. If imitations become available on the market, we'll immediately introduce more advanced gameplay. Besides, our business isn't primarily about entertainment; we want to position our venue as a high-end luxury destination."

"Luxury?" Gu Yanhuan and Huang E'er looked at Yun Yue in confusion.

"It's the most luxurious place in Qingyun Country, the kind that requires a ten-liang entrance fee just to enter. Isn't the number one restaurant in the capital called Hualou? From now on, our building will be called... Yanlou, the beauty that eclipses the ancient and modern, the beauty that makes the lotus blush with jade!"

"Sister Yun is so talented in writing." Gu Yanhuan couldn't help but admire her from the side.

"Yanlou is great! In the future, our Yanlou will definitely be more famous than Hualou. Oh, and I can be responsible for the decoration of the building."

Jiang Jiang raised his hand actively and said, "I'm good at drawing. I even learned design drawings with my older brother."

At this time, Jiang Jiang had not forgotten to pull Jiang Chaosheng into the water.

After all, Jiang Chaosheng’s current character is a design genius!

"Then once the address is decided, the interior design will be left to you, Sister Jiang Jiang." Yun Yue was very confident in Jiang Jiang because she knew that Jiang Jiang liked painting and designing very much.

"I can help when the time comes. I know a little about this." Huang E'er also spoke actively. She also wanted to contribute more.

"I'm also somewhat proficient in calligraphy and painting. Let's work together."

Gu Yanhuan, who was standing aside, said this while feeling slightly tipsy.

"Okay, we sisters work together and make a lot of money!"

**

After coming out of Mingyue Tower, several people went their separate ways.

Gu Yanhuan was in a very emotional state today and had also drunk a lot of fruit wine, so when they went out, Yun Ling carefully supported her.

"Yunling, hurry up and take Sister Gu back home to rest."

After watching Yun Ling and Gu Yanhuan leave, Jiang Jiang and Huang E'er sent Yun Yue to the city gate together.

"You guys go back. I still have to take care of the business in the outer city in the next few days." Yun Yue had already thought about it. Although the small business in the outer city did not make much money, it had formed a stable industrial chain that could be handed over to Mu Wanling to manage. After Yanlou opened in the future, she would have little time to take care of the business there.

"Cousin, please be careful on the road."

After Jiang Jiang and Huang E'er saw Yun Yue off, the two of them walked together all the way to Muwa Lane.

"This place is not far from the Ministry of Industry. How about, Sister E'er, I'll take you to find my eldest brother?" Jiang Jiang saw that Huang E'er was absent-minded, and suggested in her ear with a smile.

Huang E'er was somewhat tempted, but in the end she shook her head slightly.

"No, I am... unknown and have no status now, so it's not good for me to go to the yamen to disturb him. There will always be a chance in the future." Huang E'er smiled gently. She has always been so considerate and well-educated.

"Well... okay, see you next time."

Jiang Jiang said goodbye to Huang E'er at the entrance of the alley, and then walked home alone. Just as he reached the door of his house, he saw a thin figure squatting outside his yard gate.

Ok?

Jiang Jiang quickened his pace suspiciously, and only when he got closer did he see clearly that there was a young man in blue squatting at the door of his house.

His face is not so dark today.

"Li Ping'an?"

Jiang Jiang called out softly. Li Ping'an, who was squatting on the ground and drowsy, became much more alert when he heard Jiang Jiang's voice.

"Sister Jiang Jiang, you're back!"

Li Pingan's eyes lit up and he wanted to stand up, but unfortunately he had been squatting for too long and his legs were numb. He stumbled a bit, but fortunately Jiang Jiang, who was prepared, supported him.

"Be careful, you're not well yet." Jiang Jiang opened the gate while speaking, and then helped Li Ping'an into the yard.

"Thank you."

Li Pingan smiled shyly: "Sister Jiang Jiang, I have been feeling much better these days, thanks to you for taking me to see Mr. Zheng. I am much stronger now than before, and I came here today to thank you."

As he spoke, Li Ping'an reached into his arms and finally took out a silk handkerchief.

"I soiled your handkerchief that day. I bought this handkerchief specially to return it to you." Li Ping'an said, carefully handing the handkerchief to Jiang Jiang.

The aqua green silk handkerchief is simple and elegant in style, soft in material, and cool to the touch.

"This handkerchief is so beautiful. You're so expensive. It's... not cheap, right?" Jiang Jiang didn't expect Li Ping'an to be so polite. She reached out and took the handkerchief, and felt that the touch was very different from the handkerchiefs she had used before.

What material is this made of?

She didn't seem to have seen it before.

"I don't know what material it is made of. I just bought it on the street." Li Ping'an smiled at Jiang Jiang, and his smile seemed very sincere.

"Okay, I'll take it!" Jiang Jiang really liked this handkerchief, so without thinking much, she put it in her arms.

"Guests are welcome. Please sit down first. I'll get you something to eat."

Jiang Jiang directly asked Li Ping'an to sit down in the pavilion in the front yard. She hurried to find something to eat, while Li Ping'an sat on a stone bench, looking at the official residence of the Ministry of Works casually.

The Ministry of Industry is really... quite poor.

I heard that this official residence No. 32 was already the best one among the wooden tile houses, but now it seems... it's just so-so.

It's really shabby.
