"Sister, we will return the money we used to buy the shop to Jingchen later. We can't let him work in vain." Xu Wenwu said at the right time.
Uncle Xu immediately said, "Wenwu is right. We can't rely on our family's good relationship with Jingchen to ask him to contribute both money and labor. This is not appropriate."
Although Qibao liked money, she was also a principled person and would not take advantage of Jingchen in this matter, so she nodded in agreement and said, "Don't worry, uncle, I will return the money to Brother Jingchen when we get to the shop. It's not appropriate to take money out on the street."
Everyone nodded, Qibao was right.
Jing Chen frowned and said, "Don't rush to give me the silver and seven treasures of this shop. Why don't you consider it as my early investment in the company?"
Qibao thought about it and said with a smile, "Okay, then I'll have to trouble Brother Jingchen to look after me more from now on."
Upon hearing this, Jing Chen's brows relaxed and he nodded.
Qibao also had her own considerations. She could guess that Jing Chen's status might be higher than Su Chenyu's. Although the two shopkeepers and some passers-by who passed by them all stepped aside and looked respectful when they saw Su Chenyu, as Su Chenyu's cousin, there must be someone who knows him. This only shows that Jing Chen's background is much more mysterious than hers, so few people have seen him.
She had just arrived in the capital and wanted to gain a foothold. Without a background that would make people wary of her, she was afraid that she would get into trouble. Her elder brother still had to take the entrance examination, and she didn't want these things to affect her elder brother, so she nodded and agreed. This way, there would be less trouble.
After walking for another hour, they finally reached their destination.
"We're here. This is it."
Everyone stopped and looked in the direction Jing Chen pointed.
"There are two shops here, both of which are locked. Which one is ours?" Xiao Wu looked curiously.
Jing Chen smiled faintly and said, "Both of them."
Qibao's eyes lit up when he heard that, and he asked hurriedly, "Brother Jingchen, are you saying that these two shops are connected?"
Jing Chen looked at the little girl's sparkling eyes, and he also felt happy. He nodded and said, "Not bad."
This was undoubtedly a big surprise for Qibao.
"Thank you, Brother Jingchen. I'm really sorry for your trouble."
Jing Chen said: "Don't bother, as long as you are satisfied, it is worth the effort."
Qibao was startled when he heard that. He looked up and saw Jingchen looking at him with burning eyes. He suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. He looked away and looked at the two shops again. He had already secretly started to think about how to decorate them, but he still had to go in and take a look at the layout inside before making further plans.
"You are so great. All the credit is taken by you." Su Chenyu leaned close to Jing Chen's ear and said gritting her teeth.
"I didn't give you any money?" Jing Chen didn't even look at him, and asked calmly...
"I gave it to you, but you should at least tell Qibao that I also contributed. Otherwise, will he think I'm not loyal enough?" Su Chenyu said.
Su Chenyu touched his nose awkwardly. The money Jing Chen gave was definitely higher than the value of the shop itself. He did not suffer any loss, but even got a lot of advantages.
"Isn't that Leshan Pharmacy?" Xiaowu suddenly said, pointing to a shop diagonally opposite the shop.
When everyone heard this, they looked and saw the four big words "Leshan Pharmacy" on the opposite side of the street.
Although it is diagonally opposite, there is still a distance of more than 20 meters, but the four large gold-plated characters can still be seen clearly.
"Is this Leshan Pharmacy the one opened by Jingchen?" asked Uncle Xu.
"Yes, this Leshan Pharmacy is mine. It's the same as the one in Huamen Town." Jing Chen nodded.
"This is a little different from the one in Huamen Town. This one is more magnificent." Xiaowu said.
"If you need anything in the future, you can go to the Good Pharmacy." Jing Chen said, then looked at Qibao and continued, "Qibao, do you still have the token I gave you?"
Qibao nodded and said, "Yes, if Brother Jingchen wants to go back, I'll give it to you right away."
Jing Chen stopped him and said, "No need. I will never take back anything I give away. If you need anything in the future and I'm not around, take the token to Leshan Pharmacy. They will do their best to help you."
Upon hearing this, Qibao said, "Thank you, Brother Jingchen."
"That's great. Our two shops will be together and so close to each other from now on. We can help each other in the future." Uncle Xu said happily.
Ever since he came to the capital and saw the prosperous scene, even the most ordinary people on the street were dressed much better than the people in Huamen Town. From time to time, he could see some people dressed like landlords. He felt insecure for no reason and was trembling with fear wherever he went, fearing that he would offend someone he couldn't afford to offend and cause trouble for the children.
This is no wonder. After living in a comfortable place like Xujia Village for a long time, one day he suddenly walked into the capital, where the rich and powerful gathered, so he couldn't help but be cautious.
"Brother Jingchen, thank you." Qibao expressed his sincere gratitude.
Of course she knew why Jing Chen chose to buy a shop so close to Leshan Pharmacy among so many streets in the capital. It must be that he wanted to help her, which was really grateful.
"Brother Jingchen, please take us in to have a look." Xiaowu said impatiently.
Jing Chen nodded with a faint smile, took out two keys from his arms, and walked forward to open the shop doors one by one.
As soon as the door opened, everyone walked in curiously.
"Wow, miss, this shop is so big and spacious." Fuqiu exclaimed.
Qibao looked around. It was indeed very big, a bit empty, and there was no clutter at all. There was only a counter near the door. If it was used as a dim sum shop, it would be a bit of a waste. She suddenly thought that the size was just right for a hot pot shop.
"Qibao, there is a yard and a resting area behind this. I sent people to clean up all the debris left by the previous shop owner. I helped a lot." Su Chenyu immediately ran to Qibao and said as if to ask for credit.
"Thank you, Brother Su. I will bring you more jam and food when we go back later." Qibao said.
"You're welcome, you're welcome. It's my duty. It happens that the food you sent to my family during the Chinese New Year has been almost eaten up. My family loves it so much that they have to eat some almost every day to keep their appetite!" Su Chenyu smiled like a chrysanthemum in an instant.
Su Chenyu smiled and looked at Jingchen with some pride, as if to say, see, Qibao treats me better than you, why haven't I given you anything after all the hard work?
Jing Chen looked at Su Chenyu's smug face, his eyes dark. He suddenly looked at Qibao and said, "I don't have any either."
