Chapter 545 Incompatible Personalities
“Unlike other towns in Yunhe County, there are government patrols, so no one will easily cause trouble. Besides, Yongnian has recently taken charge of patrols in the county, so he will definitely pay extra attention to this place.”
Zhu Chengye expressed his opinion, then looked at Wan Qiqi, seemingly waiting for her response.
"The security situation is fine, but we need to be careful with the guests. There will inevitably be some who will find fault." Wan Qiqi tilted her head and looked at Zhu Chengye, saying, "We also have an owner in our restaurant, and we need to make good use of him."
When it comes to putting people in charge, Wan Qiqi immediately thinks of Feng Gan.
Although this person doesn't seem very reliable, and has been going out drinking and carousing lately, he really hasn't been taking care of the restaurant's affairs.
But Wan Qiqi said that this is the restaurant's treasure, and it's perfect to be a lucky cat.
Given Feng Gan's status, he wasn't doing too badly in either Hefeng Town or Yunhe County, and he had made quite a few connections with young masters from prominent families.
If these people come to the restaurant to spend money, it will definitely be a considerable income.
If these people could, like Feng Gan, enjoy the restaurant's food and drinks after just one meal, then they would bring stable income to the restaurant.
Moreover, if Feng Gan could be in charge of the restaurant, no one would dare to cause trouble, and no one would be able to cause trouble.
Thinking of this, Wan Qiqi finally saw some use in Feng Gan, and hurriedly asked Wu Gousheng to find Feng Gan and persuade him to do something.
A day passes in the blink of an eye, and soon it was time for the hour of You (5-7 PM).
The restaurant hadn't opened yet, so there was no need to work so late. As soon as the sun went down, the restaurant staff would finish their work and go home.
In the past, Chen Yongnian would wait at the entrance of the restaurant before Wan Qiqi even left.
Today, Wan Qiqi waited outside the restaurant for a while, but still didn't see Chen Yongnian.
Recalling how he always waited for her to get off work, this time she decided to go to the county government office to wait for Chen Yongnian to get off work.
After crossing the bridge, walking through the bustling city, and turning two street corners, you will enter the county government area.
There were relatively few pedestrians on this street, but horse-drawn carriages could be seen occasionally passing by.
Before she even reached the entrance of the county government office, Wan Qiqi ran into an acquaintance.
"Qiqi?" Master Cao called out uncertainly.
Wan Qiqi smiled and nodded, "Greetings, Master Cao."
"You're going to the county government office? Who are you looking for? Yongnian left a quarter of an hour ago. Why would he come looking for you?" Master Cao's eyes showed a hint of doubt.
Wan Qiqi frowned slightly, then smiled faintly and said, "Walking around to familiarize myself with the county's environment will make it easier to start the delivery business. Perhaps it's because I haven't seen Clerk Cao for so long that I naturally ended up at the county government office!"
Master Cao did not believe Wan Qiqi's words, nor did he expose her. He said, "I heard that your restaurant is about to open. It is not appropriate for me to go. I will have Yongnian take the gifts I prepared."
"It's alright. After we finish preparing for the opening, I'll treat you to a meal to thank you for taking care of Yongnian all this time."
Wan Qiqi did not continue towards the county government office, but instead followed Master Cao towards the bustling city center.
The two exchanged some pleasantries and then stopped at a clothing store.
They looked inside, all of them frowning slightly.
At this moment, Chen Yongnian was standing in the clothing shop, with a young man dressed similarly beside him.
The two seemed to have had an argument, as their expressions were rather unpleasant, and even the shopkeeper inside looked rather grim.
Wan Qiqi turned her head to look at Master Cao and asked, "What is that?"
“Li You, the head of the Department of Rites, is about the same age as Yongnian. He is a scholar with a modest family background. He has been in the position of head of the Department of Rites for three years without being promoted,” Master Cao explained.
Wan Qiqi blinked at him, tilted her head and smiled, "Master Cao, have you memorized the entire household register of the county government?"
“When working for Lord Fang, it’s necessary to know the background of the clerks in the county government,” Master Cao said bluntly.
"Does he have some kind of conflict with my man?" Wan Qiqi asked, blinking her eyes obediently.
Seeing her appearance, Master Cao couldn't tell whether she was genuinely obedient or just pretending, but he told her directly that once she found out, she must be up to something.
“No, but everyone in the county government knows that the two of them are incompatible.” After answering, Master Cao thought for a moment and then added, “Yes, that’s it.”
"Alright, I understand! Please make yourself at home, Master Cao. I'll go see what nice things my husband bought for me." Wan Qiqi didn't care whether the two of them were compatible or not; she just wanted to go in and make a good impression first.
She tilted her head and smiled, then lifted her skirt and strode forward.
"My lord, I knew I couldn't find you. So you were here!" Wan Qiqi stepped forward, took Chen Yongnian's arm, and turned her head to look at him, her eyes full of tenderness.
Chen Yongnian was startled by Wan Qiqi's sudden appearance, and then his bones melted at her gentle call of "husband".
He didn't expect Wan Qiqi to appear, and he certainly didn't expect her to stand beside him with such a charming appearance.
The man named Li You slowly shifted his gaze from Chen Yongnian to Wan Qiqi, curiously examining the woman.
Long ago, Wan Qiqi's name had already become a well-known figure in the county government, and her deeds had spread far and wide.
Therefore, Chen Yongnian once became a prominent figure in the county government.
Upon seeing her today, Li You felt that this woman was nothing special; she was just fair-skinned and didn't look like a village woman.
He looked away and said coldly, "I'm buying this dress. Don't try to take it from me."
"Brother Li, everything should be done in a first-come, first-served manner." Chen Yongnian didn't say much, just stated his opinion simply and insisted on his own idea.
Wan Qiqi glanced at the skirt they were fighting over, gently tugged at Chen Yongnian's sleeve, and whispered, "Husband, if this brother wants the skirt, we'll let him have it."
