Xiu greeted Qi Yuan with the same enthusiasm he would show a god of wealth.

Qi Yuan, moved by his enthusiasm, stopped in his tracks and said calmly, "I'm just looking around. You guys continue chatting, don't worry about me."

"Since you're already here, how could we pretend you weren't? A-Yuan, come over here and take a look!" Xiu enthusiastically pulled Qi Yuan towards a certain place.

Upon closer inspection, I discovered that the store was selling Hanfu (traditional Han clothing). The workmanship of these Hanfu was exquisite, far superior to the mass-produced, cheap Hanfu.

"This batch of clothing is new clothes I recently got from Dongzhou. I heard it's called Hanfu, which is traditional clothing from Dongzhou. People from Dongzhou don't usually wear it, but the team leader who went to buy it said that these clothes are as beautiful as paintings, so we bought a batch. But I don't know how to wear these clothes, and neither does Xiaobai. Yuan, do you know?"

"know."

Those two simple words thrilled Xiu. He said enthusiastically, "Ah Yuan, I knew you were the expert on everything in Dongzhou! Come on, can you teach me how to wear this?"

Qi Yuan looked at him, thought for a moment, and asked, "If I teach you, can you give me a piece of clothing?"

Xiu's breath hitched. Considering that he wouldn't be able to sell the clothes if he didn't know how to wear them, and that he would lose money if he didn't sell them, plus that clothes maintenance would cost money, Xiu had no choice but to reluctantly agree: "Okay."

Qi Yuan picked up a black flying fish robe and put it on Xiu.

The clothes are made of superior fabric and the embroidery is exquisite and beautiful. Even people from the Northern Continent would look magnificent and heroic in them.

After getting dressed, Xiu looked at himself in the mirror and was very satisfied: "It's a really beautiful outfit that really brings out my handsomeness. I just didn't expect that such a nice outfit would be so easy to put on."

As he spoke, Xiu looked at Qi Yuan and said, "Yuan, these clothes, even the children's clothes, cost me several thousand yuan a piece in Dongzhou..."

From the fabric and embroidery, Qi Yuan could tell that these clothes were expensive, but he wouldn't compromise. He said to Xiu, "Your shop only sells products from Dongzhou. If you don't know how to use the Dongzhou products you buy in the future, who will you contact?"

"I'll give you another one!"

He who knows the current affairs is a hero!

Knowing that he would need Qi Yuan's help in many more areas in the future, he was happy to give even more this time.

But Qi Yuan didn't take advantage of the situation. "I'll give you whatever amount we agreed on. I won't take advantage of someone in distress."

Xiu looked at Qi Yuan with some admiration, "A Yuan, you have such a good personality. You don't have the greed and cunning of people from our side at all. Are all people from your side like this? Come to think of it, Xiao Bai is also very well-behaved and sensible."

Faced with this praise, Qi Yuan simply smiled and said, "Every place has good people and bad people. You can't judge the whole region based on a few people, nor can you judge a part of the region based on the whole region. In my opinion, Mr. Lille is a good and selfless person."

Qi Yuan suddenly praised Lil, and Nick smiled as well. "Mr. Lil is indeed very good. He established [Dawn] to help children and the poor, wanting to gather more power to help the poor people of the North Continent live a better life. I agree with Mr. Qi's statement that 'you can't judge a group of people by the whole region.' I admire Mr. Qi for having such a mindset. Just thinking about working under you in the future makes me envision a bright future."

Qi Yuan didn't take Nick's first words to heart, but when Nick said, "I'll be working for you, Boss Qi," Qi Yuan noticed the blind spot and asked, "You're going to work for me?"

Qi Yuan asked Nick, who was bewildered, "Boss Qi, you didn't know? I thought you did."

Qi Yuan was still puzzled.

Nick asked, "Didn't the patriarch tell you that the Bluebird organization has been transferred to your name, and that I'll be working for you from now on?"

Nick continued, "The head of the family called me over this morning and told me about this. I thought you knew about it."

Qi Yuan didn't explain. Noah was so busy last night that he didn't come back. They only met briefly this morning before parting ways, and there was no time to talk about it.

Of course, Qi Yuan didn't say any of this. He just asked Asha, "Asha, did you report this to the family head?"

"Yes."

Qi Yuan frowned. "He has time to listen to your report, but no time to talk to me?"

Asa thought Qi Yuan had misunderstood something, and said, "The head of the family came back late last night. While he was working in the study, I spoke to him as he was dealing with something. The head of the family said that he would give you whatever you wanted, and that you could just talk to Mr. Kyle about such things in the future."

Noah returned too late and had a lot to do. Not wanting to disturb Qi Yuan's rest, he worked in the study.

Qi Yuan didn't know and thought he had come back in the morning.

“Mr. Qi, the patriarch’s fondness for you is a bit beyond my expectations,” Nick said.

Qi Yuan looked at him and asked, "What kind of work did Noah assign you?"

"Find the whereabouts of the Ryan Davis family."

"Then let's keep looking."

Qi Yuan never expected that Noah would actually give it to him when he just casually mentioned it.

But since Noah gave it to him, he will take good care of the organization.

"Ah Yuan, are you getting involved in some internal affairs of the Davis family? I feel like you're getting involved in bigger and bigger things," Xiu asked.

Qi Yuan said, "I'm eating and using Davis's things now, so I should do something for him. Buy this shirt for me."

He pointed to the red children's Hanfu hanging to the side.

Xiu immediately knew who Qi Yuan wanted the clothes for, and smiled as he asked the shop assistant to take the clothes down. Soon after, he picked out a white children's Hanfu, saying, "This one will be my Christmas gift to Petty."

At this point, Xiu sighed, "I used to consider Davis my home, and I could go back whenever I wanted. Now, I need the head of the family's permission to even get in."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan was puzzled again: "You can't just enter the Davis family's house anymore?"

“Well, after he went back without permission last time, he said that he was kicked out of the Davis family’s male concubine and that he should never set foot in the Davis family again.” At this point, Xiu pretended to be pitiful and looked up at the ceiling. “Think about it, when I was in the Davis family, I devoted myself to him and catered to all his hobbies. After being kicked out, I was really not even worth trash.”

Qi Yuan wasn't buying it. The two of them had a deal from the beginning, so there was no question of who was more or less affectionate. Moreover, from Noah's perspective, having a male concubine who had been kicked out of the house keep coming back would make people think that Noah was still attached to the past and was indecisive in matters of the heart.

Furthermore, if Noah were truly so heartless, Xiu's 'sadness' wouldn't be so superficial. However, the only thing that made Qi Yuan feel somewhat lost was that he always heard about the things Noah did for him from other people's mouths...
