Chapter 453 Abacus
The food court is officially open for business.
This place has everything, including food, daily necessities, entertainment, clothing and even inns.
There are more than 300 shops of all sizes in the entire food street, and people from major businesses have seized the opportunity to rent the largest and best store locations first.
Therefore, you only need to visit a food city, where you can not only eat hundreds of snacks with different flavors, but also buy clothes, daily necessities and toys.
There is a largest inn in the food street, and the owner of that inn is Li Congxiao. One day, Li Congxiao suddenly had an idea to make each room in the inn into a theme room, such as parent-child room, lover room, Western style, etc. When Qin Huiyin saw this theme room, she thought Li Congxiao was a modern person who traveled through time. After testing, she found that he was just a smart person and could think of it without the help of modern thinking.
Qin Huiyin looked at the affectionate young couple and seriously suspected that Master Li wanted to use them for his own benefit, so he created this internet-famous inn that quickly became popular.
"President Rong is engaged and will be getting married in a month. We will go to the wedding then." Li Congxiao said, "President Rong is really decisive. He confessed his feelings to you a few days ago, and as soon as you rejected him, he immediately agreed to the marriage arranged by his family. From engagement to wedding, it only took one and a half months. I really don't know whether I should praise him for being able to let go or say that his feelings are thinner than paper."
"Of course it's the former. Yinyin has no interest in him, but he doesn't pester her and immediately arranges his life. This kind of man is a true gentleman, much better than his brother." Xia Ruwan said, "I heard that he married the concubine's daughter of the Minister of Revenue. Yinyin, have you seen the young lady of the Minister of Revenue's mansion?"
Qin Huiyin thought carefully and shook her head: "I have no impression."
There are too many young ladies in every family, including legitimate daughters and illegitimate daughters. Every time she attends a banquet, it's like she's walking on a tightrope. She can't even take care of herself, so how can she have spare time to make friends?
"Isn't that the one from the Gong family?" Xia Ruwan pointed at the figure opposite.
At this time, the three of them were sitting on the top floor of the food city, and the surrounding scenery came into view. Of course, they also saw Gong Qianyue coming out of the silk shop opposite.
Gong Qianyue was standing next to Zhu Hongxiu. The two of them were very affectionate, talking and laughing, and seemed to be getting along well.
"I heard that the marriage between the Gong family and the Zhu family has also been finalized. Their wedding date is before President Rong, and it seems to be half a month later. We will not deal with these people, but you should go and attend, right?"
"Yeah, there's no way to avoid it."
If possible, she didn't want to attend these boring parties.
However, Gong Qianyue is really smart.
If it were any other woman, she might have made a scene for a while. But she didn't. After being rejected by Tang Yichen, she knew she had no chance, so she didn't make a scene and followed her family's arrangement to marry into the Zhu family.
The Zhu family now particularly needs a presentable daughter-in-law, otherwise if a prostitute takes the title of eldest daughter-in-law of the eldest house, they will not be able to hold their heads up in the whole capital. Gong Qianyue's status is a bit low, but at least she is presentable.
As for Gong Qianyue, the Zhu family was more satisfied with her than Qin Huiyin. After all, the Gong family had produced several officials, and was considered stable in the court, and had several good in-laws. Therefore, the betrothal gifts sent by the Zhu family to the Gong family were several times more than the betrothal gifts sent to Qin Huiyin before, which also showed their attitude and represented that they were very satisfied with Gong Qianyue, a famous talented woman.
Zhu Hongxiu and Gong Qianyue were as close as sisters, and now that the sisters have become aunts and sisters-in-law, this relationship has become even closer. Even though they all knew that this marriage was not what Gong Qianyue wanted. Gong Qianyue was too arrogant and looked down on the eldest son of the Zhu family. Now she was in a difficult situation, and the position of the wife of the eldest son of the Zhu family had to be hers. If she didn't take the position, her reputation would be ruined, and no other aristocratic family would be willing to propose marriage.
"We'll leave first." Xia Ruwan stood up.
Li Congxiao picked up the round fan she had placed on the table.
"Are you, the second-in-command, going to be lazy again?" Qin Huiyin was unhappy.
"He is busy outside all day long, and it is difficult for me to see him. You don't want to break up this couple, right?" Xia Ruwan said, hugging Li Congxiao's arm.
"What's the matter with you? Young Master Li, don't you plan to give Wan'er a status?" Qin Huiyin said, "Compared to other people's weddings, I want to drink your wedding wine more. If you get married, I will give you one month's rent of the food court as a gift."
"One month?" Xia Ruwan's money-grubber attribute came online. "That's 10,000 taels of silver!"
"My sister is getting married, and I am rich and willing to spend this money." Qin Huiyin said, "But you have to be able to earn this money! How about? To earn this money, get married?"
"We need to wait a little longer." Li Congxiao held Xia Ruwan's hand, "When I take charge of the Li family, I will definitely celebrate it with great fanfare."
"How long do we have to wait?"
"No hurry, I don't want to become a housewife!" Xia Ruwan said, "Look at those married people, who are as happy as us? I still prefer my current life."
Li Congxiao held her hand and said, "You are not anxious, but I am. If I don't find a way to marry you, I don't know which man I will go to tomorrow to find."
"Are you unable to get over this matter?"
"Not really. It's just that I feel so upset every time I think about it." Li Congxiao held his heart, looking hurt.
The handsome man pretended to be pitiful, and he really had some of the pity of Xizi holding her heart. No wonder Xia Ruwan was noisy, but every time she saw Li Congxiao, she would be coaxed into pouting in no time.
"Please go away now, this is so corny." Qin Huiyin drove them away with disgust.
After Xia Ruwan and Li Congxiao left, Qin Huiyin walked around the food city, from the first floor to the top floor. Each floor had a manager in charge of that area, and then there were two general managers, one big and one small.
Needless to say, the chief steward is Tang Luwu, and the assistant steward is selected by Tang Luwu and Qin Huiyin. He used to run a restaurant and is very experienced in managing a shop. In addition, the security here is hired by Song Yi and Song Er. There are five on each floor, and another ten patrolling from time to time. As long as a troublemaker is found, no matter who the other party is, he will be thrown to the military department first.
This place is under the jurisdiction of the East City Bingmasi. It is most appropriate to throw the troublemakers into the Bingmasi. No one will doubt that the owner here has any relationship with the Bingmasi commander.
"Our food city has a delivery service, but haven't we arranged special delivery runners? Why do we still need our own waiters to deliver the food personally?" The waiter who had just arrived was confused.
"The food delivered to other customers is indeed delivered by errand boys, but every meal at Bingmasi has to be delivered by our own dedicated waiter in the food city. You will know after working for a few days."
