Left with no other option, Jing Zhe took Pei Yunxi back to Zuiyun Tower.
Zhang Xiaoyu was not at Zuiyun Tower.
Not only was Zhang Xiaoyu absent, but also other newspaper members such as Chen Jiannan and others who came from Jingzhou were not there. Jing Zhe could understand after a little thought that they must have all gone to the place that Prefect Chen had chosen for the Da'an Newspaper to work on.
"It's all good this way," Jing Zhe said with a smile to Pei Yunxi. "It seems that Fourth Sister's decision to come here was the right one."
She pointed to the luggage Zhang Xiaoyu had taken out last night and said with a smile, "Fourth Sister, you can pack now!"
But Pei Yunxi had no intention of making a move. She looked around before asking, "Where is your... wife, Xiaoyu?"
"Xiaoyu is probably busy with Wenxiangju and Zhangjia Winery. She's quite attentive to these things."
Jing Zhe told the truth.
"Oh, really?"
Pei Yunxi nodded: "Then let's go take a look too."
Jing Zhe waved his hand: "No need for that, Fourth Sister! Xiaoyu is someone you can trust to do things!"
"That won't do."
Seeing the questioning look in Jing Zhe's eyes, Pei Yunxi quickly said, "It's not that I don't trust Xiaoyu, but—as the president of Da'an Newspaper, and more importantly, as a man, these are your responsibilities! If you just pack up and leave tomorrow, and do nothing today, what will people say about you behind your back, even if they don't say anything to your face? So you have to go there today, even if you don't do anything, just taking a look is good!"
"Oh, Fourth Sister is right."
Jing Zhe nodded, thinking that made sense, but then pointed to the already opened bundle and said, "But what about my luggage..."
"You're leaving tomorrow morning, what's the rush with your luggage?"
As she spoke, Pei Yunxi took Jing Zhe's hand and led him outside: "Besides, you still have Xiaoyu, right? It won't be long before you pack your luggage tonight!"
"..."
Seeing Pei Yunxi's hurried appearance, Jing Zhe suddenly had a feeling that she hadn't come out of Kunlun Mirror with him to pack her bags...
...
After leaving Zuiyun Tower, the two found the place in no time, following the address given to them by Prefect Chen.
The place that Prefect Chen found was indeed excellent. It was located in the most bustling commercial center of Kunlun County, and it was quite large, much larger than the place he had found in Ruzhou. The interior decoration was also mostly new, showing that it had been carefully designed.
Prefect Chen was also here, bringing many constables to help. The things Chen Jiannan brought from Jingzhou had been arranged, and the newspaper branch office was beginning to take shape.
Although Pei Yunxi was in Kunlun County, she spent most of her time in the Kunlun Mirror when she wasn't on a mission and rarely showed herself. Therefore, even as the prefect of Kunlun County, he rarely saw Pei Yunxi.
Therefore, when Prefect Chen saw Pei Yunxi appearing alongside Jing Zhe, he admired Jing Zhe even more.
"President Jing, Lady Pei, you've arrived."
Prefect Chen stepped forward and greeted him.
Jing Zhe nodded: "Prefect Chen, this place is nice. Thank you for your trouble!"
"Of course, of course, President Jing, you're too kind!"
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Jing Zhe led Pei Yunxi to the place belonging to Wenxiangju. Zhang Xiaoyu was busy arranging work when she saw Pei Yunxi and was immediately stunned.
"Fourth...Fourth Sister..."
Her voice was a little uneasy because she hadn't expected Pei Yunxi to appear here. She thought she would see Pei Yunxi again tomorrow morning, or that Pei Yunxi, if she had a bad temper, would be in Jiangling soon. Who would have thought that she would suddenly come? She was still timid.
Jing Zhe also looked at Pei Yunxi, equally curious.
However, Pei Yunxi acted out of character and walked straight up to Zhang Xiaoyu. Just as Zhang Xiaoyu was at a loss, she reached out and took her hand, smiling as she said, "Xiaoyu."
"..."
Zhang Xiaoyu and Jing Zhe were both stunned and exchanged a glance.
Pei Yunxi continued, "Xiaoyu, how's everything going over here?"
Zhang Xiaoyu steadied herself, took Pei Yunxi's hand in return, and replied softly, "Fourth Sister, it's almost ready. Next, have the kitchen staff prepare the ingredients and recipes, and we'll be ready to open!"
Pei Yunxi nodded and said, "Logically speaking, I should have entertained you when you arrived in Kunlun County yesterday. However, when you went to Kunlun Mirror last night, Fourth Sister had just finished practicing martial arts all day and was tired and exhausted, so she didn't have time. Today, let Fourth Sister host a welcome dinner for Xiaoyu! Does Xiaoyu have time?"
"..."
When Jing Zhe and Zhang Xiaoyu went to Kunlun Mirror last night, they saw that Pei Yunxi was dressed like pajamas, and did not look like she had just practiced martial arts all day.
However, her saying that was clearly an attempt to save face for herself, and Zhang Xiaoyu immediately smiled and said, "Fourth Sister is too kind! Fourth Sister is treating, of course you have time!"
As she spoke, she glanced at Jing Zhe, her eyes filled with gratitude.
Last night, Pei Yunxi's attitude towards Zhang Xiaoyu was cold and hostile, which made Zhang Xiaoyu feel apprehensive. Little did she expect that Pei Yunxi's attitude towards her would change so drastically in just one night. Naturally, she thought it was all thanks to Jing Zhe.
Then, Pei Yunxi and Zhang Xiaoyu walked out hand in hand, chatting and laughing, which made Jing Zhe sigh.
Jing Zhe followed them back to Zuiyun Tower, intending to be a guest and listen to what they had to say, but Pei Yunxi and Zhang Xiaoyu both refused.
An hour later, the two women finished their meal. Jing Zhe didn't know what they talked about, but he did know that Pei Yunxi and Zhang Xiaoyu's relationship had thawed, because when they came out of the house, they were all smiles and laughter, as close as sisters.
Afterwards, Pei Yunxi returned to Kunlun Mirror.
After all, she was leaving early tomorrow morning, so in addition to packing her luggage, Pei Yunxi also had to say goodbye to her fellow disciples. Although she had often left Kunlun Mirror to do missions before, this time was completely different.
This time, she will leave Kunlun Mirror first and then go to Jiangling and then to Jingzhou. Although it is not a final farewell, she will stay for a very long time. She doesn't know when she will return to Kunlun County next time.
So we need to go back early.
After Pei Yunxi left, Zhang Xiaoyu went upstairs with Jing Zhe to help him pack his luggage. Jing Zhe looked at Zhang Xiaoyu, who had a slight smile on her face, and asked curiously, "Xiaoyu, what are you smiling about?"
"If you're happy, you'll naturally smile."
"Is it because of Fourth Sister? What did you two say?"
"This is a secret between us women, so please don't inquire. If you really want to know, you can ask Fourth Sister."
Zhang Xiaoyu winked at him.
"You little rascal, Xiaoyu, you didn't even tell me when your husband asked?"
"Hehe, I won't tell."
"If you don't discipline them for three days, they'll be climbing on the roof and tearing off the tiles!"
"Oh, what are you doing, husband? It's still daytime! Close the window, close... um~"
"..."
