Chapter 65: Seizing the Initiative



Shen Ruoyan didn’t know that Fang Rou had boarded the old lady’s boat.

Because she left the house.

When the wife of the Marquis left the house, it would make a lot of noise and it would be inconvenient for her to move. So Shen Ruoyan left the house quietly this time.

Chun Xi pretended to be her in the house, and only announced to the outside world that the lady was exhausted and needed to rest. As long as the situation was not too difficult, Chun Xi could handle it.

And beside Shen Ruoyan was Qiu Ye.

"Madam, the shop has already been contacted. The owner is anxious to return home, and as soon as the money is in hand, the ownership can be transferred immediately."

A few days ago, Shen Ruoyan asked Qiu Ye to inquire outside to see if there were any shops for sale near Shili Street. It was a gathering place for the poor in Shengjing City. Because the rent was cheap, there were many shops open there, but none of them were large-scale.

Even this inn that was sold in a hurry was just a small two-story layout. After Shen Ruoyan arrived, he looked around carefully and found that there were too many places that needed to be changed.

But it doesn't matter, all she wants is this piece of land.

When going out, Shen Ruoyan wore men's clothes, and when talking with the shopkeepers, they were also separated by a screen.

"Please forgive me, Boss. Our young master's identity is special and cannot be exposed. However, the cash you want is not a problem."

Qiu Ye was outside, speaking on his behalf. Shengjing City was so small, and Shen Ruoyan didn't want to cause herself any unnecessary trouble. The reason she made this personal trip today was because the boss wanted to sell this piece of land.

She had to make sure that nothing went wrong.

We are all business people, who doesn’t have inconveniences sometimes?

The boss understood that, especially in a place like Shengjing City, there were many powerful people, and there were also a lot of people who didn't want to reveal their identities to the outside world.

"It's okay, sir, I have no intention of inquiring about your identity. There's an emergency at home this time, and once I go back, I won't be in Shengjing again, so you can rest assured." It was hard to tell whether his words were true or false, but Shen Ruoyan was not worried.

The boss's family had indeed suffered a disaster and was in urgent need of money. Although the rent on Shili Street was not worth much, he had opened his own shop and the costs were not that high, so it was a good place for him.

His inn's business is not very prosperous, but tourists from other places come here because of the cheap prices, so he still makes a profit every year.

If he wasn't in urgent need of money, he really wouldn't want to sell the land.

Shen Ruoyan winked at Qiu Ye, and the next second, the boss saw the maid coming over with a small box.

"One hand pays the other hand transfers the property, Boss Wang, please count."

Boss Wang was anxious to sell the land and had contacted many people. Some were interested in the land, but when they heard that he only wanted cash and that he wanted it paid immediately, they backed off.

It's normal for others to be suspicious since he is so anxious.

But Boss Wang really couldn’t wait any longer, because his hometown was waiting for him!

He was indeed curious about Shen Ruoyan's identity, but now, he couldn't care less. As long as the silver payment was settled and he could leave smoothly, that would be fine!

Qiu Ye handled all the subsequent procedures. Shen Ruoyan had arranged the relationships in advance, so it was not difficult to complete them.

Seeing that everything went smoothly, Boss Wang had a basic guess about Shen Ruoyan's identity - either rich or noble!

There were many people like him in Shengjing City, but he couldn't afford to offend any of them. He was a sensible person, and after handing over everything, he packed up and left the next day without telling anyone.

"Madam, Boss Wang has left."

When Qiu Ye came back, there was a list on Shen Ruoyan's desk, which contained the names of people who were available.

Having bought the shop on Shili Street, she needed a capable person to run it. Furthermore, this shop was very unique, so competence alone wasn't enough; someone had to be adaptable. Otherwise, things would get complicated.

"Did he cause any trouble?" Shen Ruoyan frowned, thinking in his heart.

After Boss Wang left the city, she asked Qiu Ye to send someone to follow him to prevent him from causing any trouble. However, Qiu Ye shook her head and said, "He kept a low profile the entire time. When others asked about him, he simply said he had family matters and didn't reveal the buyer's information."

Shen Ruoyan nodded, "He is a cautious one."

In fact, it would be nice to have someone as cautious and experienced as Boss Wang. But unfortunately, Boss Wang's reason for returning to his hometown was not an excuse, and there was no way to keep him.

That’s right!

Isn't he still here?!

Shen Ruoyan circled a name, and the annoyance in his heart was relieved a little. He almost forgot about this person.

"Qiuye, go find Zong Sheng and tell him that this inn will be handed over to him from now on."

This person was sent by the Qin family when Shen Ruoyan married into Shengjing. He was originally there to help Shen Ruoyan manage the dowry shop. Because of his excellence and ability, he was later asked by Mrs. Lu to manage the Shen family's shop.

However, the Lu family was not tolerant. They valued Zong Sheng's abilities, but were also wary of him at every turn.

Therefore, an old housekeeper was later transferred there to supervise Zong Sheng and put a lot of restrictions on him.

"Before, the Lu family had many restrictions, so I couldn't take care of him. Now that I'm in charge, I can naturally reconsider for him." Shen Ruoyan's words were both comforting and an explanation. After all, the original owner was only immersed in love back then, so how could she know about these personnel arrangements?

At the beginning, she did whatever the old lady said, for fear of making the old lady unhappy and making Lu Jing uncomfortable.

Now, don't worry about any of that.

"Madam, I understand." Qiu Ye is now more clever, and the things arranged by Shen Ruoyan can be handled quickly.

But she was still a little confused, "Madam, is there anything special about this inn?"
