Chapter 700 Moved Away
Shen Qingqian walked up and said to the bookstore owner with a smile: "Boss, we don't care how long we can rent it, but we won't rent it recently. If your shop can wait, we will definitely come back by the end of the year at the latest."
When the boss heard this, his face changed, "If you don't rent it, why are you asking?"
He thought he could finally recover some of his losses.
Shen Qingqian raised an eyebrow. "It's no use asking. You have a shop for rent outside. It's okay for us to ask."
Originally, she wanted to kindly tell him that maybe there was no need to sublet the shop. After all, Mr. Qi would soon open a school. By then, Shengze would mobilize more children, and the bookstore business would naturally be able to be maintained.
Besides, the imperial court does not have special examinations, and the current situation in northern Hubei is no different from that of an independent country. Who knows when they will hold their own examinations to select talents.
But since the boss was so unfriendly, Shen Qingqian felt there was no need to tell him.
"Chenchen, let's go."
Shen Qingqian was too lazy to say anything more and led Shen Chen away.
The bookstore owner didn't think anything of it and even said it in his heart that it was bad luck. What he didn't know was that without Shen Qingqian's reminder, he would regret it bitterly soon after.
After Shen Qingqian had a general understanding of the situation in Rong County, she still had some time, so she asked Shen Chen to take her to Ebei City. She stopped by to see the decoration of the pastry shop.
Who knew that this trip would last three days.
Beijing, Li family
Upon hearing the news brought back by his trusted attendant, Li Junyi's teacup slipped from his hands and fell to the ground, shattering into pieces.
"What did you say Li Junxin and his family moved away?"
Li Junyi couldn't believe his ears. How could Li Junxin and his family move away? The capital was the place they had always wanted to take root!
The long-servant was also bewildered. "I don't know what happened. I asked the neighbors near the Seventh Master's house, but they all said they didn't know. They only said that they moved out more than a month ago, and they haven't heard any movement in the mansion for ten days."
Li Junxin is Li Hezhou's father. He is of the same generation as the father of Shen Qingman's ex-husband Li Hezhi. He is the seventh in the entire Li family. The servants of the main branch of the Li family call him the Seventh Master.
"How could they move out without telling me?" Li Junyi was stunned for a moment, then he came to his senses and said, "Go ask around. Maybe they went out to escape the summer heat and the neighbors made a mistake."
The attendant took the order and left, but Li Junyi sat on the rosewood chair looking exhausted.
"Impossible, how could they move away? Even if they moved away, they shouldn't have moved away without informing the main branch," Li Junyi muttered to himself.
His eyes fell on the various ornaments in the study, the rosewood tables and chairs, the calligraphy and paintings of famous artists from the past dynasties, and many ornaments that could be called antiques.
All of these were purchased with the money Li Junxin earned.
Thinking of the calculation that flashed in Sheng Zhan's eyes at the morning court, Li Junyi couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his back.
In the current situation, the most profitable branch of the Li family no longer simply exists to pave the way for his career!
If Sheng Zhan knew that Li Junxin and his family were missing, he would definitely be implicated. At the very least, he would lose his job and be demoted, and at worst, his life would be in danger!
Thinking of this, Li Junyi could no longer sit still. He quickly stood up and shouted outside: "Come on, prepare the car, I want to go to Changlong Street!"
Half of the shops on Changlong Street belong to Li Junxin. He doesn't believe that Li Junxin can be willing to give up such a huge family business!
