Chapter 532 Entering the City
Sunlight filters through the gaps in the dense forest, leaving dappled patterns on the ground.
A simple horse-drawn carriage drove through the dense forest, crushing the fallen leaves on the ground.
The driver was a young man wearing a dark brown short-sleeved shirt, with his dark hair styled high, giving him a very sunny appearance.
With a blade of grass dangling from its mouth, it danced gracefully in the wind.
"Sister Qi, once we pass the hill ahead, we'll reach Yunhe County. Shall we speed up?" he asked, turning around.
"Slow down, what are you speeding up for!"
A cursing voice came from inside the carriage, sounding tired and weak.
Wan Qiqi leaned against the carriage, using a pillow to support her back to ease her discomfort.
Along the way, she cursed Wu Gousheng a thousand times in her mind.
The man drove the carriage with increasing excitement, like a wild horse that had broken free of its reins.
The carriage journey, which was originally supposed to take two hours, was completed by Wu Gou in one and a half hours.
She gets carriage sickness; she almost threw up!
Isn't it shameful to go to Yunhe County in this state?
Wan Qiqi grabbed a pillow and threw it at the back of Wu Gousheng's head, gritting her teeth as she said, "Slow down, give me your spot, you go down and lead the horse."
Wu Gousheng said "Oh," threw the pillow into the carriage, slowed his pace, and jumped off the carriage.
Wan Qiqi sat in Wu Gousheng's original spot, dangling her legs in the air and breathing in the fresh air. Instantly, she felt all the discomfort she had just felt disappear.
She nearly choked because she was breathing too deeply.
Wu Gousheng glanced to the side, suppressing a laugh, his shoulders trembling.
"What are you laughing at?" Wan Qiqi glared at him, revealing a haughty look.
"No, I just didn't expect anyone to get carriage sickness." Wu Gousheng grinned, his eyes crinkling. "Isn't it said that carriages are for wealthy people? Sister Qi, how come you get carriage sickness?"
Wan Qiqi grumbled for a while, then said, "I'm not from a wealthy family, why can't I get carsick? Besides, I said we're not in a hurry, why are you driving so fast?"
“Sister Qi, aren’t you going to the market in Yunhe County? Yunhe County is so big, if you don’t get there early, you definitely won’t be able to see everything.” Wu Gousheng said confidently.
Wan Qiqi rolled her eyes in exasperation. "It's not like I'm only staying here for one day. If I can't finish shopping, I can always spend a few more days here."
Wu Gousheng touched his head, it seemed that way...
Could it be that he misunderstood and shouldn't have moved so quickly?
Wan Qiqi was too lazy to bring up the matter and said, "I asked you to inquire about Yunhe County. How well did you find out? How much do you know about Yunhe County?"
Wu Gousheng scratched his head again, this time with an awkward smile, and said, "I...I...maybe only three points. Yongliang told you everything I found out."
Wan Qiqi looked at Wu Gousheng and sighed.
Compared to Chen Yongliang, Wu Gousheng really doesn't have much talent for business. It seems that, like Chen Yongnian, he is only suited for physical labor.
But now Chen Yongnian is not only physically strong, but also quick-witted.
Wu Gousheng, on the other hand, was still completely baffled.
However, this did not prevent Wan Qiqi from having Wu Gousheng do things. She needed someone like that by her side to deceive the bad guys around her.
She knew that Wu Gousheng's confusion was only on the surface. When something really happened, he could still deal with it rationally. It was just that because he spent a lot of time with her, he often acted without thinking.
Perhaps no one expected that less than three months after Xinglong Restaurant opened, the two managers would turn around and go to Yunhe County to open the first branch of Xinglong Restaurant there.
But this was not quick for the two managers, because they had been preparing for it for a long time.
Zhu Chengye returned to Yunhe County before Wan Qiqi to attend to the restaurant's affairs, while Wan Qiqi followed behind, intending to wander around.
Her shopping trip couldn't be considered just a casual stroll.
As the saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle." Wan Qiqi decided to tour Yunhe County as a guest to learn about its current situation.
Once the restaurant opens, most of her peers will know her identity, and she won't be as free to shop around as she used to!
Perhaps before she even entered the restaurant, she was mistaken for a troublemaker and kicked out.
Wan Qiqi was thankful that she wasn't very famous, not to the point where everyone would recognize her the moment she appeared.
In Hefeng Town, if she gives her name, everyone will probably know who she is. But in Yunhe County, after she registers, people will probably be confused and ask: Who is this person?
When the carriage arrived at the county town gate, several soldiers stood guard.
Unlike small towns, Yunhe County has soldiers guarding almost every city gate, checking strangers passing by.
When the soldiers saw that the approaching carriage was unfamiliar and the people inside were also strangers, they stopped it and inspected the carriage. Finding no dangerous items, they let the two people pass.
The two had only taken a few steps and had not yet entered the city gate when they were stopped by the soldiers behind them.
Wu Gousheng looked at Wan Qiqi with a helpless expression on his face, thinking: These people are probably trying to cause trouble because they think I didn't pay them enough to get rid of them, so they're coming to cause trouble, right?
Wan Qiqi, however, appeared relaxed and turned around with a smile, asking, "Sir, what is it?"
The officers and soldiers came over, looked the two men over again, and said, "Carriages cannot travel at high speeds in the city. If you injure someone while traveling, then we will have no choice but to take you to the county government office!"
Wu Gousheng: "..."
Is this person clairvoyant? How did they know I was riding at full speed earlier?
Wan Qiqi smiled and replied, taking out a small piece of silver from her bosom and secretly slipping it into the soldier's hand, saying with a smile, "Thank you, sir, we will be careful."
Seeing the silver in their hands, the officers gave Wan Qiqi some instructions and briefly explained the situation in Yunhe County.
