Chapter 3941 – Seven Faces

After going through the information in the last two jade slips, the Proprietress nodded her head, “Many thanks.”

Yuan Rui De replied, “It’s within my duties.”

As the Proprietress fiddled with the jade slips, she asked, “How about the previous owner of this shop? Have you made him suffer any grievances?”

Yuan Rui De said with a smile, “I’ve paid him twenty percent more than the market value of his shop. The money is enough for him to buy a new shop in a different location with a tidy profit left over. He couldn’t be happier, so I’m sure he doesn’t feel aggrieved at all.”

“Very good,” A gratified Proprietress nodded her head.

Yuan Rui De bent his back slightly, “Madam, is there anything else you need me to do for you? If not, I’ll take my leave and report to my higher-ups now.”

“Do you want to stay overnight here before leaving?”

“Many thanks for your concern, Madam, but I’ve stayed here for quite a few days already so it’s best I head back quickly.”

“I won’t make you stay, then. Old Bai, please see him off,” the Proprietress ordered.

With a smile, Bai Qi stepped forward and extended his hand, “Please.”

“Farewell, Madam.” Yuan Rui De saluted her before striding out of the shop.

After he was gone, the Proprietress looked around and nodded, “It’s a good place.”

Bai Qi approached her, “Proprietress, are we going to reopen our inn here?”

The Proprietress walked around and asked casually, “What’s wrong?”

A glint flashed across Bai Qi’s eyes as he said with a grin, “There’s nothing wrong with it. As long as you’re around, we’re fine with anywhere.”

The Proprietress scoffed, “Do you think I have no idea what’s on your mind? All of you are bored after travelling the void for so long, so you’re eager to have fun in this lively place. I’m warning you now, all of you can have fun, but don’t invite any trouble or slack off on your work; otherwise, I won’t let you off.”

“We won’t,” Bai Qi assured her before he turned his head to wink at the chef and accountant. He could barely contain his excitement.

“There’s dust,” The Proprietress wiped the armrest of a chair and took a look at her finger before rubbing it off on Bai Qi’s shoulder. Then, she turned and made a circular movement with her finger, “Get everything here changed by tomorrow.”
