Chapter 1906 Opening a Branch Shop Here
Qi Lie had also considered persuading Shu Yu to stay at Changjin Mansion for a while longer, but he soon learned of Granny Fang's existence and that part of Shu Yu's eagerness to return was to allow Granny Fang to reunite with the old lady of the Lu family.
He had no reason to stop them. The two sisters had been separated for over thirty years and longed for each other every day. He couldn't let Shu Yu, a meritorious person, feel disheartened.
But then, things took an unexpected turn, and the old lady and the Lu brothers all arrived.
Grandma Fang wasn't in a hurry to go back. Even if she did, with the old lady and the Lu brothers there, and some skilled martial artists to escort her, Lu Shuyu could rest assured, right?
If she doesn't leave, then Meng Yunzheng naturally doesn't need to leave either.
"The situation in the capital has gradually stabilized, but the Emperor places great importance on the rebuilt Changjin Prefecture, and a suitable candidate for prefect has yet to be found. Now, we have Qi Lie, whom the Emperor trusts, General Huang to suppress the rebellion, and..."
Shu Yu interjected, "And you?"
"Yes." Meng Yunzheng smiled wryly, "So the Emperor is no longer in a hurry. He ordered Qi Lie to stabilize Changjin Mansion before recalling him to the capital."
The turmoil in the capital was far more severe than here; many officials were dismissed and beheaded. The emperor had also placed his trusted confidants in many important positions.
As time went on, there was no one left whom the emperor trusted and was capable of handling the Changjin Prefecture.
In other words, Qi Lie will have to stay here for at least another two months.
Two months may not seem like a long time, but Qi Lie had a lot to do, and Meng Yunzheng was trying to back out at this crucial moment.
So he thought and thought about it, and decided to find something for Shuyu to do in Changjin Prefecture, and he set his sights on the shop.
Shu Yu, “…” Well, it was indeed good for her, but Meng Yunzheng was too tired.
"I'm not tired. The most tiring period is over. Working here in the government office has been beneficial for me. I'll be taking the provincial examination this year, which is also a way for me to gain experience."
It was precisely because it was beneficial to both parties that Meng Yunzheng did not stop it.
"However, if you don't want to drive, you don't have to force yourself."
"Open it, why not open it?" Shu Yu was full of enthusiasm. "Lord Qi is right. I have always intended to expand my business. This is your hometown, you are familiar with it, and I have lived here for a while. It is a good place to open a branch."
Moreover, Changjin Prefecture is in dire need of reconstruction. Many merchants have failed, and the business network in the city was already in disarray. Now is the easiest time to establish a foothold.
In addition, she has just become the county magistrate and filed a lawsuit against Chen Bing in the government office yesterday, which made her famous. If she doesn't open a branch now, when will she?
"Let's go take a look at the shop first."
Seeing this, Meng Yunzheng couldn't help but laugh. "Alright, let's start then."
The two left the government office and the first shop they went to was on Huakang Street, which was not far from the government office.
Qi Lie gave her three shops, all located in prime locations, so business would be good no matter where they were opened.
This shop on Huakang Street is about 200 square meters. It might be a bit small for a restaurant, but it's just right for a regular shop.
But Shuyu has a lot of different things to sell, so she prefers a more spacious place.
However, the shop has a courtyard at the back and is close to the government office, so its security is excellent.
Shu Yu came out after looking around. "Let's go to the second one first," she said, "as a preliminary selection."
