Upon hearing this, Madam Gu's eyes lit up immediately. "Oh, Qinghe, we're really on the same page! I was just calculating the money, thinking of taking out the five hundred taels that Zhaozhao lent us to open a shop, as if it were Zhaozhao's money."

I was just thinking of using all the money to rent a shop, and then I was a little short on cash, and then you told me this great news! Pay every three months! That way we'll have some money left over to hire workers and buy supplies.”

Shen Qinghe had originally thought his mother was gentle and would need to think it over before deciding, but he hadn't expected her to agree so readily. With a smile on his face, he asked, "Mother, why did you agree so quickly? I thought you would need to go and take a look again before deciding."

With a smile, Madam Gu said, "It's because I saw Zhaozhao just now and heard her speak that I feel much more at ease. It's just the capital, what's the big deal? I don't believe that with our excellent skills, our business can't thrive!"

Upon hearing the name "Zhao Zhao," Shen Qinghe's heart skipped a beat, and her voice involuntarily rose a few decibels: "She's here?"

Having said that, before Gu could reply, he suddenly stood up and tried to rush towards the main hall.

Meng Zhao's words might fool Madam Gu, but they couldn't fool him. Shen Qinghe asked coldly, "Who did she come with? Which direction did she go? How long have they been walking?"

"She came with Xiaoyun, Huang Cui, and Yin Chun. They went to the west gate and have been gone for about fifteen minutes. Qinghe, what are you trying to do? Don't go. It's been so long; Zhao Zhao is probably already..."
