In Zhao Daya's mind, she wanted to open inns along every official road, so that whether it was the Zhao family's caravan or anyone else, they could all have a sense of security.

Of course, another reason was to make money. She always remembered that she couldn't let the money her aunt had invested go to waste.

Qiu Yin ate almost all of his food downstairs, and was so full he could barely walk, but Zhao Daya still didn't come downstairs.

He became a little anxious.

Sitting downstairs like an idiot isn't the way to go. Either have some tea or book a room and stay overnight.

Unfortunately, the guest rooms in this inn are all in the backyard, not upstairs.

Therefore, it's highly unlikely that you'll have a chance encounter by booking a hotel room together.

After weighing the pros and cons, Qiu Yin decided to be shameless for once.

His family only told him to use his good looks, but they didn't say how.

Another point is that he used his good looks to seduce someone, but they didn't fall for it, so he can't be blamed for that.

In his opinion, if business here doesn't work out, then it's better to make the restaurants in other towns bigger and better.

However, we may encounter the same problem in other places.

Sigh, there really is no solution.

Qiu Yin suddenly realized that perhaps his father was right; changing allegiances was very important.

If there had been even one scholar in the family, perhaps they wouldn't have been bullied so badly.

"Brother, could you please ask your boss for directions? I have a business deal to discuss with her."

The waiter looked Qiu Yin up and down, thinking to himself, "This fool has finally shown his true colors."

Regardless of what I was thinking, the waiter's professionalism was still quite good.

"Sir, what kind of business do you wish to discuss with our master? It would be convenient for me to pass on your message."

I'm not entirely sure when our boss will be coming.

The best way is for you to leave your address, sir. When our host arrives, I will inform him."

Qiu Yin was impressed by the waiter's blatant lies.

If this person hadn't been one of his men, spending all day loitering near the inn, he would almost have believed the waiter's story.

With a "thud," a tael of broken silver was slapped onto the table.

"Brother, let's be frank. I came to your inn because I knew your boss was here."

I, Qiu Yin, own a restaurant in a nearby town.

Please ask your employer to come out, mainly for the sake of a few vegetable stalls.

Qiu Yin spoke with such vigor that it was a good thing he didn't know martial arts; otherwise, one might worry that he would have deafened the waiter.

Qiu Yin spoke so loudly mainly because he was afraid that Zhao Daya upstairs wouldn't hear him.

"Your waiter is lying, how can I not let you, the owner, know?" Qiu Yin thought to himself.

Although the inn appears to be a brick and tile structure on the outside, the second floor inside is actually a solid wooden structure.

The second layer made of wood doesn't provide much sound insulation.

This is why the second floor does not receive customers.

Zhao Daya put down the abacus, turned her neck, and gestured to Chuntao, who had been serving her. Chuntao immediately went out to ask what had happened.

A moment later, Chun Tao returned and recounted what had happened downstairs. Zhao Daya nodded and said, "Let's call that Young Master Qiu up."

Without a moment's hesitation, Chuntao quickly went out to call for help.

However, upon reaching the door, he specifically instructed the guards to listen for any sounds inside the house, so that if a fight broke out, they would have to rush in to rescue the people.

In fact, Chun Tao was worrying too much. She didn't need to listen carefully; the guards could tell what was happening inside just by looking.

The room Zhao Daya was preparing to receive Qiu Yin had glass windows.

Although the glass wasn't large, it was enough for the guards to see clearly what was happening inside.

This was something that was specifically considered when the reception room was built.

Since this place is desolate and deserted, these people who run inns here naturally have to take safety into full consideration.
