Chapter 320 No Need
Zhongli Zhou was so angry that he laughed.
He said so much reluctance before, but now he becomes active as soon as the document is signed. He really doesn't act without seeing the rabbit!
"...it's all right, it depends on when it's convenient for you."
Ji Changying happily put the receipt in her arms and said, "Wait, I'll bring it to you right away. Don't forget to arrange for the kitchen for my father and uncle, and do it quickly!"
After she finished speaking, she didn't wait for Zhonglizhou's reaction and ran out of the study excitedly. She disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Zhongli Zhou was so angry that he laughed: "That's really awesome!"
In less than a cup of tea, Ji Changying happily ran back with a man on his shoulders and threw him to the ground: "That's him! He's very skilled. It took a lot of effort to catch him. I lost control and hit him too hard. His leg is broken, but it's not a big problem."
Liu Shugen looked at them warily: "You crazy woman! What on earth do you want to do?!"
Ji Changying had just exchanged him for a lot of things, so she was in a good mood and didn't bother to argue with him: "Why are you in such a hurry? You'll know soon."
Zhonglizhou stood on the ground, staring down at Liu Shugen for a few seconds, then clapped his hands.
There was a wave in the air, and Ji Changying's expression changed, and he saw a figure standing silently in front of the two of them.
A secret guard knelt on the ground: "Master."
Zhong Lizhou pointed at Liu Shugen and said, "Check his body for any abnormalities."
"yes!"
The secret guard responded in a low voice, picked up Liu Shugen and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Liu Shugen's eyes were shocked.
Ji Changying said in surprise: "This person..."
"The shadow guard given by the royal grandfather." Zhong Lizhou was not in a position to elaborate on the details.
The shadow guard returned not long after. "There's a subtle bump behind the ear, and two red spots in the crotch. I suspect it's related to the appearance-altering potion used in the previous dynasty."
Zhonglizhou nodded: "Keep an eye on this person, he will be of great use."
"yes!"
After the shadow guard finished speaking, he walked out of the study and disappeared.
Ji Changying kept staring at him closely with her mental power, and found that this shadow guard could blend into the surrounding environment no matter where he went.
If you don't stare at him specifically, you can't even feel his breathing, as if he is a puppet without a soul.
"Tsk, I really envy you. You have so many people under you that you don't have to do anything yourself."
Ji Changying took an envious look before looking away.
Zhongli Zhou seemed to be hesitant to speak, and closed his mouth again when he was about to say something.
"Okay, I'm leaving now. Hurry up and get to my dad and uncle!"
"You don't live here? Where are you going?"
Ji Changying waved her hand casually, "I'm a wealthy man now. The Anxiang Flower Shop is about to open, and I'm going to live there! Don't forget to send these flowers back to Kyoto as soon as possible. When the time comes, help me promote it. Those wealthy people will flock to it, won't they?"
She left gracefully, leaving Zhongli Zhou standing there alone, thinking for a long time.
More than just a swarm of people?
Even if those people can't come in person, they will send a lot of servants and retainers to see what's going on.
Maybe even businesses and merchants would be willing to come here more often, and by then the economy of the entire Liangzhou might improve a lot.
Thinking of this, Zhongli Zhou simply didn't sleep and arranged all the affairs in the city before the war started.
When Ji Changying returned, Mo You was still waiting for her with his eyes wide open. When he heard the noise in the yard, he called out, "Miss Ji!"
Ji Changying thought about it and went over: "What's wrong?"
"Where did he go? What will happen?" The confusion on Mo You's face was too obvious, and Ji Changying couldn't pretend not to see it.
"That person is definitely not Liu Shugen. The thing on his face is human skin that has been soaked in medicine. The real Liu Shugen is probably dead long ago."
Mo You felt like a piece of his heart had suddenly fallen to the ground, and he didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
There was a hollowness on his face, and he felt that what he had done over the years seemed a little ridiculous.
He had been helping the evildoers for so many years, and he thought he was keeping his promise and showing loyalty, but what was this now?!
Mo You's voice was extremely difficult and a little hoarse: "Shu Gen, when did it happen?"
Ji Changying spread her hands and said, "You don't even know your own friends, so how could I possibly know?"
Watching her leave, Mo You closed his eyes in pain and began to think about the past over and over again, wondering when he had changed.
After finishing the tasks at hand, Ji Changying and Wang Fugui focused all their attention on the upcoming opening of the flower shop.
According to Ji Changying's needs, You Tianming had already come to the shop when the shop started to be renovated, and made things according to Ji Changying's requirements.
"On this lower floor, there's space reserved for flowers all around. It'll look much nicer once it's filled. Here, we've also reserved some rest areas according to your requirements. The chairs, in particular, are made according to your specifications. They're very soft! When you get tired of choosing, you can sit down and relax. Upstairs, apart from a few private rooms, all the others have been demolished and elegantly decorated, specifically for distinguished guests..."
Wang Fugui introduced Ji Changying while quietly observing her reaction. "There aren't many gardeners willing to sign a life-long contract. Usually, such people prefer to work for the rich and powerful. I've gone through a lot of trouble to find one, but I'm afraid it won't be enough. Do you think you could buy two life-long contract servants and train them from a young age?"
Ji Changying pondered for a moment and said, "One is enough for now. As for training people later, you can handle it as you wish. You don't have to ask me about everything."
Wang Fugui felt much more relieved after hearing this.
As long as the boss is willing to delegate power, he won't have to be bound by any constraints and can do his job freely!
"Okay! The dim sum chef uses the ingredients from the original restaurant. I've asked him to make a few of his signature dim sum for you to try. If you're not satisfied, I'll have him make some new ones!"
Wang Fugui clapped his hands, and several waiters who had been prepared in the back brought up the dim sum in their hands one by one. The dim sum chef who followed behind him held his head high and chest out, looking very confident.
All of these dim sum are exquisite. No matter how they taste, they look very expensive with their meticulous presentation and beautiful appearance.
Ji Changying tasted three kinds in a row and frowned: "Too sweet, cloyingly sweet."
Wang Fugui was stunned for a moment. Isn't sweet a good thing? Why does the boss seem unhappy?
"You're absolutely right! The snacks I make are guaranteed to be sweet!"
The pastry chef's face lit up with a smile when he heard this, looking very happy: "It has to be sweet! This proves that our shop's products are good and high-end!"
Ji Changying didn't know what expression to put on for a moment:
"...I know sugar is expensive and most people can't afford it, so the more sugar you put in, the richer you are. But we're in business, and not everything is better the more expensive it is. Take this snack, for example. It's just a meal. Since it's a meal, the first thing to put on it must be taste! Not showing off your wealth everywhere!"
