Qiu Yan tugged at her sleeve. "I really can't do anything about it."
Prefect Xie shook his head. "No, you said you still have a 10% chance of success."
Qiu Yan...
At this moment, the manager of Shuangxilou Restaurant came running to report.
"Sir, Yin Xiao'er said that a young lady wants to buy our restaurant. I'm afraid this is the young lady. Young lady, I am the manager of Shuangxi Restaurant. Greetings."
The shopkeeper looked at Qiu Yan with utmost respect.
He had actually been there for quite some time, but had been observing from afar and had not heard clearly what Qiu Yan and Prefect Xie were saying.
This morning, Qiu Yan and the others had just left Shuangxi Restaurant when he arrived. Naturally, he also heard that someone had inquired about buying the restaurant.
The reason he rushed here now was because he had heard that a young lady had come to the Xie residence, and he had come to find out what was going on.
He was afraid of losing his position as manager.
As soon as he arrived, he immediately went up to Qiu Yan, wanting to become acquainted with her.
We've been talking for so long, I suppose we've reached a pretty good agreement on the price.
Qiu Yan's face froze for a moment, then she glanced at the shopkeeper and nodded slightly.
The manager of Shuangxilou in front of him looked much more pleasing to the eye than the original manager, Gao, in Baiyang.
The manager of Shuangxilou forced a smile.
Qin Susu was somewhat petrified. She carefully examined the restaurant owner, who was slightly plump and had a kind face. He seemed like someone who would be easy to get along with.
Is the owner of Shuangxilou Restaurant in a hurry to find a new owner?
It seems this prefect's character is truly questionable.
Upon hearing this, a fleeting look of doubt crossed Prefect Xie's face.
He pondered for a moment and then said directly:
"Dr. Qiu, Shuangxi Restaurant is worth at least five thousand taels of silver. I'll give it to you to use as my son's medical fees. Is that alright? This restaurant is no ordinary place. It's a relic of a prince from the previous dynasty. Just think, you come to Qin County and suddenly become the owner of this restaurant. Isn't that a wonderful thing?"
He could also see that Miss Qin was determined to blackmail him.
In this way, Qiu Yan will have a livelihood in Qin County, so she probably won't leave.
"What a lucky accident!" Qin Susu couldn't help but laugh.
Five thousand taels of silver? Previously, Shuangxi Restaurant would have been worth that much, but now…
Qiu Yan shook her head: "I am a female doctor, what would I need a restaurant for? Besides, I have heard that the people are saying that Young Master Xie's illness was caused by evil spirits. Shuangxi Restaurant has become ominous because of your illness, and there are very few customers going there."
She turned her head and walked away.
She had already said that she couldn't cure the illness, so why wouldn't Prefect Xie listen to her?
The restaurant owner's face turned pale...
Uh, that was a misunderstanding.
That's so embarrassing!
He shrank back, and when he looked up, he saw Prefect Xie glaring at him angrily. "Sir, I'm sorry."
Qin Susu's previously tense face broke into a smile in an instant.
Xiaoyan, are you playing hard to get...? Uh, I think I used the wrong word.
The poor shopkeeper is so innocent.
She gave the restaurant owner a bright smile and quickly caught up with Qiu Yan, "Xiao Yan, why are you leaving?"
The restaurant owner continued, responding with a stiff smile.
He took two steps back and stood a little further away.
"This...who told you this? It's utter nonsense, utter nonsense!" When Prefect Xie saw that Qiu Yan was unmoved and left directly, his heart sank.
He glared angrily at the manager of Shuangxilou Restaurant again.
He came to report without asking any questions, which embarrassed him.
He ran quickly to catch up with Qiu Yan and bowed deeply to her.
