The news that the owner of the mysterious shop had bought an entire street in the West District spread like wildfire overnight. Many locals and businessmen came to join the excitement and inquire about the details.

The craftsmen that the steward, Uncle Changgui, hired were all tight-lipped. Some left after failing to gather any information, while others had servants keep watch around. If there was any news, they could be notified immediately, for fear of missing a chance to make a fortune.

Wang Simeng copied the decoration style of the shop in Qingshan Town. She also bought some goods from the villa space online shopping page and had her servant drive a horse-drawn carriage to deliver them to the new shop.

After looking around the new shop, he sent someone to call Uncle Changgui over.

"Uncle Chang, I plan to renovate three shops at the same time. I'm wondering if we have enough manpower?"

“Miss, if three shops are being renovated at the same time... we should have enough manpower.” The butler replied respectfully.

"How long will it take to complete the renovation?"

“These three shops aren’t too old, so there aren’t many things that need to be modified, and the shops aren’t very big either. I estimate they can be completed in three or four days,” the butler replied after a moment of quiet contemplation.

"That's good. Let's start the renovations today. I'll go check out the biggest shop on this street."

After saying that, Wang Simeng led Shuang'er and Cui'er toward the largest shop.

The largest shop is about 600 square meters and has three floors. The shop on the left is also quite large, about 300 square meters and has three floors. The one on the right is 100 square meters and has two floors.

Wang Simeng thought to herself, "I really don't know what these two shops did before, they're so big." But what the shops did before didn't matter. She had already decided what they would be used for in the future.

"If the two shops were combined, this could totally be a shopping mall," Wang Simeng thought to herself.

"Just do it this way," Wang Simeng muttered to herself, clapping her hands.

"Ah? What is Miss talking about?" The two maids were very curious.

"I mean, I want to combine these two shops and turn them into a shopping mall."

"Miss, are you referring to the kind of shopping mall mentioned in the book?" Shuang'er asked.

“Yes, it seems you really absorbed the books I gave you,” Wang Simeng said with a smile.

Wang Simeng then summoned her housekeeper, Uncle Chang Gui.

"Miss, what can I do for you?" the butler asked respectfully.

"I want to find a skilled construction contractor. I want to combine the two biggest shops on that street; it's not something an average person can do."

"Okay, I'll go right away." The butler wiped his sweat and was about to leave.

"Hey! Wait a minute~ Uncle Changgui, managing the renovations has been quite tiring lately. Go to the brokerage and buy a few more maids and servants. Keep a few servants for you to help out, and let Shuang'er and Cui'er manage the maids so they can run errands for you."

"Alright, I'll find some construction workers now, and I'll also buy some servants while I'm at it."

"Okay, go ahead."

The next morning, after waking up and washing up, I steamed a serving of soup dumplings, a serving of shumai, and boiled a cup of milk in the villa.

After drinking a glass of milk, eating two soup dumplings and two shumai in the space, I suddenly appeared outside.

As soon as I stepped out of the bedroom, I saw that Shuang'er and Cui'er were each accompanied by two maids.

"The butler is quick on his feet!" Speak of the devil, and he appears.

The butler walked towards Wang Simeng with a smile.

"Miss, the construction worker has been found."

The builder's surname is Li. Most of the large-scale buildings in the surrounding towns were designed, supervised, and constructed by this builder, Mr. Li. He's very famous in Qingshan City.

“That’s good. Let’s go see Master Li now,” Wang Simeng said.

Mr. Li was a man who looked to be nearly 40 years old. His hair was neatly combed, and his complexion looked rosy and healthy.

Wang Simeng accompanied Master Li as he walked around the two shops.

"I want to turn the entire first floor into small stalls, roughly divided into 12 stalls of 50 square meters each and 10 stalls of 30 square meters each. The vendors can then choose the size that suits them best."

"The innermost corner on the second floor has been partitioned off into a large room for delivery; deliveries will be made through the back door. The third floor…" Wang Simeng explained her ideas and requirements. "Then I'll leave it to Mr. Li."

"It's alright, it's what I should do," Master Li said with a smile.

"It should take no more than seven days to get it done," Mr. Li estimated.

That's great.

Wang Simeng was overjoyed when Master Li told her it would only take seven days to complete.

"Even if I traveled to ancient times, I wouldn't be able to go shopping. Xiao Liu, there will be many shops in this mall later. Even if I don't buy anything from the other shops, this mall alone should be enough to complete the mission, right?"

Xiao Liu paused the melodramatic drama and said to Wang Simeng, "Of course, the mission will be completed when five shops open in the mall."

Once the initial task is completed, if the host continues to think about opening a new shop, a new task will appear. Who knows, we might be able to skip levels then!

I'm so smart!

Thinking of this, Xiao Liu jumped up happily.

"That's good. I'd also like to learn the second volume of the 'Heart Refining Technique.' It's a pity it wasn't included in the rewards for the recent missions."

"Host, keep up the good work, I have a feeling it will happen soon."

"Yes, there will be bread, there will be milk, there will be everything~"
