Qiu Yanzhen admired Zhou Shao's ability to adapt. "The food delivery system is very simple. If Mr. Zhou wants to do it, we can talk about it."
Food delivery is simple; any restaurant or even a food stall can do it.
Since Qiu Yan started her food delivery business, many shops have followed suit, but none of them have had their own dedicated delivery personnel like Qiu Yan does.
Therefore, Baiyangcheng's regular customers still appreciate their restaurant service.
Zhou Shao was somewhat displeased with Qiu Yan's casual attitude, but he didn't show it on his face.
"I'd like to expand and strengthen the Zhou family's food delivery business. I wonder what Miss Qiu's thoughts are?"
Qiu Yan shook her head, "You're wrong. The food delivery business is a separate line of operations, not just the Zhou family's. Mr. Zhou, if you want the other branches to join the food delivery industry,..."
I must be in charge. If things go well, I want 20% of the profits. During this period, I can go to Dongjin with you to guide the food delivery.
If you don't agree, you can deliver the food yourself.
A 20% profit margin from the total revenue of Xingyue Tower is not a small amount.
Qiu Yan said this for two reasons. First, she believed Zhou Shao wouldn't agree and wanted him to stop bothering her. Second, if Zhou Shao really agreed, why wouldn't she take the money?
Zhou Zifang had already blocked out their conversation, but Qiu Dayu was wondering what his niece's brain was made of.
Qiu Yan's long speech left not only Zhou Shao but also Gu Qian speechless.
His wife, all she thinks about is how to make money, even though she's clearly not short of cash.
He disagreed with letting her go to Shangjin City alone.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Shao became even more displeased.
He suspected that his son had been tricked by Qiu Yan into agreeing to give her a share of the profits.
"So, you're saying the entire food delivery industry in Baiyang City belongs to you?"
Qiu Yan: "Exactly."
"What if we don't do it well?"
"Six months is the limit. If I don't do a good job, I won't take a single penny."
The food delivery business was built thanks to Xingyuelou.
Therefore, Qiu Yan will do her best to help Xingyue Tower.
"Let me think about it." Zhou Shao didn't believe that Qiu Yan could start a food delivery business within six months.
However, he wanted to take this opportunity to bring Zhou Zifang home.
After Zhou Shao finished speaking, he took his leave.
But he didn't go far; instead, he stayed out there, waiting to ambush his prey.
As for whether he can catch his own son, that depends on his luck.
After Zhou Shao left, Qiu Yan ignored Zhou Zifang and Qiu Dayu.
She continued practicing her hidden arrow technique.
A moment later, the center of the target was filled with hidden arrows.
Everyone inside came out, their eyes wide with astonishment.
Gu Qian couldn't help but admire Qiu Yan, and he gradually realized that he was not good enough for her.
Qiu Yan stopped practicing archery and began asking Gu Qian about the war.
She asked him, "What trick did you use?"
Gu Qian replied simply, "It's a diversionary tactic. Yan Yan, how could a young lady like you be interested in war?"
Qiu Yan: "I'm only interested in the current situation."
After all, no one wants their city to fall into enemy hands and become a prisoner.
The next morning, Qiu Yan took Gu Qian to the south of the city.
My second uncle is leading the craftsmen in building the house in an orderly manner; everything is so harmonious.
"Two years from now, it might double your money."
Although Gu Qian didn't think so, he still corrected him, "It's your money too."
As the house gradually rose from the ground, Gu Qian imagined the rest of his life with a happy smile on his face.
"Yan Yan, how about we get married after the house is built?"
"No." Qiu Yan always thought that marriage was still a long way off for her.
Gu Qian knew she would refuse. "Most girls your age would be starting to talk about marriage."
Qiu Yan: "I'm not an ordinary girl." She's not from this era, so there's bound to be a generation gap in her thinking.
Gu Qian: "That's true. When should we get married? How about two years from now?"
Qiu Yan shook her head; she would only be sixteen two years later.
Gu Qian's face fell. "When was that?"
Qiu Yan: "It will happen naturally."
Gu Qian: "Anyway, I'm determined to win the heart of my beauty in two years."
He was weary of war, but his mission told him he could not back down.
At this moment, all he wanted was to destroy Northern Qi as soon as possible, so that he would have no more worries.
At that time, he would retire from the military and live happily ever after with Qiu Yan.
Seeing a soldier rushing towards him, Gu Qian asked in a low voice, "What is it?"
The man clasped his hands in a fist salute and said in a low voice, "General, someone tried to kidnap Qi Heng, but our men stopped them."
"Could it be the enemy general, General Chu?"
"Your subordinate has not yet determined the truth."
Gu Qian had something on his mind, so he quickly said goodbye to Qiu Yan: "See you later, Yan Yan."
Qiu Yan responded, and seeing how anxious he was, she wondered what could be wrong.
When Gu Qian arrived at the Tang residence, he found that the entire household was in complete chaos.
He grabbed one of the officers, "What's wrong?"
When the officer saw that the man was Gu Qian, he became somewhat timid: "Reporting to the general, the prisoner has escaped."
Gu Qian had a bad feeling. "Which prisoner?"
The official looked somewhat embarrassed. "It was delivered by you yesterday... yesterday."
Gu Qian's face suddenly darkened, becoming ashen, and he said in a deep voice:
"Summon your adults to come see me!"
"We adults went to hunt down the fugitive."
If he hadn't been rational, Gu Qian would have really wanted to take a knife and chop Tang Yi up.
Finding the person was the priority, so he didn't ask any more questions and went straight out to arrest the fugitive.
Tang Yi was furious and looked utterly dejected.
He has just ordered a citywide state of emergency.
Right now, he is working with his county constables to hunt down fugitives.
In the short time it took for the soldier to deliver the message, the Crown Prince of Northern Qi had already disappeared.
Ling Yun and Ling Zhi were also extremely frustrated at this moment.
It wasn't that the two men were weak in martial arts; rather, the newcomer was far more skilled.
The Crown Prince of Northern Qi had already changed into civilian clothes.
And now, he was being supported by two people as he walked along Baiyang Street. Anyone who saw him would just think of him as an ordinary citizen.
The Crown Prince of Northern Qi was accompanied by two other people, clearly indicating that they had made ample preparations.
Suddenly, two figures landed in front of them; it was Ling Yun and Ling Zhi...
After Gu Qian left, Qiu Yan prepared to go to Xingyue Tower.
He had only gone halfway when Ling Qi darted past him.
"Ling Qi!" she called out to him, "What happened?"
Ling Qi saw that it was Qiu Yan and cupped his hands, saying, "It's nothing, just that we lost a fugitive."
He spoke calmly, but Qiu Yan, seeing his panicked state, guessed that he was no ordinary fugitive.
"What fugitive? Why would you need to search for him yourself? Where's Gu Qian? Is he also hunting down fugitives?"
Ling Qi glanced behind Qiu Yan: "Aren't you two together?"
He also thought that if the general knew about this, he wouldn't punish Ling Yun and Ling Zhi for their poor guarding.
As the two were talking, they heard the sounds of fighting coming from ahead.
Without saying a word, Qiu Yan went straight to check.
Ling Qi followed closely behind, and as soon as they arrived, they saw Ling Yun and Ling Zhi engaged in a fierce battle with two masked men in black.
