She shook her head: "We haven't even found a pharmacy yet, let alone a pharmacy apprentice."
Gao Chong looked up at her with her little face and said, "Sister Qiu, come with me. I know where there are shops for sale."
"Where?" Qiu Yan rarely showed interest in Gao Chong's words.
Gao Chong smiled and said, "Come with me."
After explaining, he began to lead the way.
Qiu Yan followed behind him, and after crossing two main streets, they arrived at another teahouse across the street.
"Sister Qiu, this is the place," Gao Chong said.
Qiu Yan glanced at the few scattered tables of customers in the teahouse.
The teahouse is located on Baiyang Main Street. It has two floors and a spacious interior.
The shop is nice, but...
How did you know that this teahouse was for sale?
Without hesitation, Gao Chong replied, "This shop belongs to my family."
"Yours?" Qiu Yan asked in confusion. If she remembered correctly, her uncle Zhao San worked as an accountant in this teahouse.
"Well, my family is so poor, all we have left is this shop."
A while ago, I had to sell our house to pay for my father's medical treatment, and our family moved to our old courtyard house. Now that my father's condition has improved, I'm thinking of selling the shop and buying a new courtyard house.
Their old courtyard was a residential house located in the south of Baiyang City.
These are the houses next to Qiu Yan's house.
The houses there were dilapidated, plagued by mosquitoes in the summer and drafty in the winter, making Gao Chong's winter there extremely painful.
"Your family isn't poor." How could you be poor if you own a teahouse like this in Baiyang City?
Also, why doesn't Manager Gao run his own business?
Just as Qiu Yan finished speaking, a middle-aged man came out of the teahouse.
Upon seeing Gao Chong, he scoffed coldly.
"Hey kid, what brings you here again?" After saying that, he gave Qiu Yan a serious look and thought to himself, this kid is always up to no good.
Upon seeing the man, Gao Chong's smile vanished. "This shop is also mine, why can't I come?"
Qiu Yan was speechless. This Gao Chong was unreliable.
The man was displeased and tried to leave, but Gao Chong blocked his way.
“Uncle, this shop was left by Grandpa, you can’t take it all for yourself.” He had previously asked his uncle to let him stay in a room, but was turned away, so he couldn’t help but feel resentful.
Gao Chong knew that his uncle, like his father, was a heartless businessman.
Well, that doesn't seem quite right.
"Did I say I wanted to monopolize it? We still haven't found a buyer!" Uncle Gao's fierce expression made people not want to look at him a second time.
Upon hearing this, Gao Chong turned his gaze to Qiu Yan.
At this moment, Zhao San heard the conversation outside the shop and came out of the teahouse.
Compared to before, he looked worried.
"Xiaoyan, what brings you here?"
Qiu Yan replied, "Uncle, I've come to take a look at the shop."
Looking at the shop? Zhao San was somewhat surprised.
Zhao San had heard about Qiu Yan's desire to open a pharmacy from Qiu Yumei, but at the time he thought it was just a joke. He never expected it to be true.
After all, not everyone can open a pharmacy.
Gao Chong and his uncle were both surprised. Baiyang City was really small; they could run into acquaintances everywhere they went.
However, Uncle Gao didn't believe that Qiu Yan, a young girl, could afford to buy a shop.
"Young lady, you must be joking. My shop has two floors and a small courtyard in the back. It costs a lot of money. How could a young girl like you afford it?"
Gao Chong didn't understand the market value of shops; he only calculated in his mind how much this shop was worth.
"Sister Qiu is from Xingyue Tower, so buying a shop is no problem for her."
