Grocery Store Connects Past and Present: The Prince I Raised Ascended the Throne

After a failed entrepreneurial venture, Sang Jueqian inherited her grandfather's grocery store, only to discover that the store's window led to ancient times!

On the first day of open...

Chapter 22 When I woke up, I found breakfast made by the royal chef!

Xie Mingshan's smile remained unchanged, "I don't go to every store in person, but this one in Gucheng is different.

Miss Sang is in the ancient city, so she must know how large the visitor flow is. Tourists from all over the country come here every day.

The store Xie is going to open here will only be larger than the one Miss Sang visited this afternoon. This is also the top priority for Xie’s Jewelry Store this year, so I must come and see it in person.”

"So that's how it is!" Sang Jueqian suddenly realized, "Boss Xie is really young and promising. With Boss Xie personally watching over this store, the business will definitely flourish."

"Then I'll take your kind words, Miss Sang. If Miss Sang has anything else she wants to sell, please contact me. I will definitely give her a fair price."

"Of course."

"It's getting late, so I won't bother Miss Sang anymore. See you later."

"Thank you, Mr. Take care."

After Sang Jueqian sent Xie Mingshan out, he saw a man and two women standing outside, also in formal attire.

After seeing Xie Mingshan, the three of them stood more straight and their attitudes became more respectful.

The smile on Xie Mingshan's face never faded. He nodded at Sang Jueqian and said, "Miss Sang, you don't have to see me off."

Sang Jueqian blinked and said, "I'll come out and close the door."

"I was just being sentimental." Xie Mingshan said this without any displeasure, and it seemed like he was just joking between friends.

Sang Jueqian didn't know what to say, so he simply said nothing. He just smiled again, then closed the door and locked it from the inside. He also lowered the blinds and turned off the billboard and most of the lights in the house.

The grocery store suddenly darkened, blending in with the thick summer night.

Xie Mingshan stared at the grocery store for a few seconds before turning and leaving.

After walking for a distance, Xie Mingshan's voice sounded again.

"Investigate thoroughly. I want to know everything about the Sang family."

The voice didn't change, but the tone was no longer gentle, only cold.

——

In the grocery store, only the table lamp on the counter was still on, but it was enough for Sang Jueqian to see the road clearly.

As Sang Jueqian walked to the counter, Li Junyan looked over from the window.

"Qianqian is very familiar with that person just now?"

Sang Jueqian shook his head. "Not familiar with him. I just met him for the first time this afternoon. He's Mr. Xie, the one who bought the gold cake and the box."

Li Junyan's eyes flickered. "He's in charge of so many shops at such a young age. His methods and intelligence must be remarkable."

"Yeah!" Sang Jueqian agreed deeply. "Although he looks quite gentle, he still has the aura of a difficult Party A."

"Party A?" Li Junyan's eyes were filled with confusion. "What is that?"

"It's... someone who spends money to buy your things, but keeps asking you to make them better.

After you've changed it again and again according to his requirements, he tells you that the original version is still the best and he wants that one."

At the end of his words, Sang Jueqian's eyebrows, eyes and nose were all wrinkled together.

All workers know that Party A is the most difficult person in the world. They all have one characteristic, which is that they look easy to talk to.

But no matter how gentle they appear on the surface, it cannot conceal their true nature, and they themselves are unaware of it.

Xie Mingshan is so young, but he already has such a strong smell of Party A on him. He is really... a natural born Party A.

Li Junyan was originally worried that Sang Jueqian would be deceived by someone with ulterior motives like Xie Mingshan. After all, she was simple-minded and sincere.

Now after hearing her words and seeing the expression on her face, Li Junyan felt relieved instantly.

Li Junyan's smile grew even brighter. "So that's how it is. Qianqian really has a keen eye for finding gems. She sees the essence through the surface at a glance."

"No, no." Sang Jue smiled and waved his hand, "It just looks familiar."

After saying goodbye to Li Junyan again, Sang Jueqian went upstairs to wash up.

Before going to bed, Sang Jueqian paid the water meter again.

Since he had plenty of money, Sang Jueqian paid 20,000 yuan directly to avoid water outage.

After doing all this, Sang Jueqian put down his phone and went to sleep peacefully.

The next morning, Sang Jueqian dressed neatly and went downstairs, and as expected, he saw Li Junyan.

Li Junyan was still handling official business, and there were more books piled on the table than yesterday.

Seeing this, Sang Jueqian didn't find it strange.

Li Junyan was a prince after all, Tingzhou was his fiefdom, and there had been a severe drought for three years, so there must have been countless things he needed to deal with every day.

Sang Jueqian would find it strange if he spent his days drinking and watching plays.

It was apparently still a sunny day over there, and the sunlight must have shone through the wooden lattice windows onto his desk, casting the shadow of the wooden lattice windows on the desk and his profile, making it look quiet and beautiful.

Li Junyan's hair was thick, shiny black, and was neatly tied on top of his head. On the black hair crown, a few bamboo leaves were dotted with emerald jade, which made him look even more handsome.

He was wearing ink-colored casual clothes and sitting there quietly writing, with a peaceful aura.

He doesn't look like a prince, but rather like an otherworldly immortal who has been banished to the mountains.

After staring at it for a while, Sang Jueqian wanted to take a picture of this beautiful scene.

But when he took out his phone and pointed it at the window, there was no Li Junyan's face on the screen, only the shimmering moat.

Sang Jueqian put down his phone with some regret.

It seems that only her eyes can see the existence of Li Junyan and Da Zhou.

Neither other people nor cameras can see or capture it.

Sang Jueqian was just thinking when she saw Li Junyan put down his pen and looked over. "Good morning, Qianqian."
