[Settle on a shop]

Chen Xing froze upon hearing this and turned his head to look at Gu Lang, saying with some skepticism, “He said he wasn’t in charge of renting the house? How come other things are also in his charge?”

Gu Lang seemed to think that such a clueless Chen Xing was very cute, the smile at the corner of his mouth got bigger and bigger as he continued, “Naturally not all, it’s not like there will be people renting houses every day, so if he didn’t have any other side business, how could he live so comfortable? Therefore, other things related to renting, he is slightly involved in.”

Chen Xing was dumbfounded by what he heard and said with some admiration, “He is really smart!”

“That’s why he has the qualifications to be capricious!” Gu Lang followed and added, “After all, if he did not have these skills, how could he get buyers to come to him automatically?”

Hearing his words, Chen Xing nodded in agreement.

“So, just look for him, and that will alleviate most of your worries. Next, you only need to think about how to run your new shop.” Gu Lang reminded him with extra gentleness.

“Hn, hn.” Chen Xing nodded obediently, then as if he thought of something, his eyes shone brightly as she looked at Gu Lang and said, “It’s been hard for you to accompany me and come out with me today, so let’s go to the food market to buy some food later; when we get home, we’ll have a good meal.”

Chen Xing thought of the fact that today went so smoothly that it didn’t take much time,so he still had a lot of time to utilize when he went back, so he wiggled his fingers and calculated, “Well, there’s still a lot of time today, we can take our time to make a big meal. Later on, I’m going to make pork braised in brown sauce, I’ll simmer it for a while longer and stew it longer until it’s soft…”

Gu Lang listened to Chen Xing dish out his plans from the side, looking at him with an extraordinarily gentle gaze all the time, and the corners of his mouth always carried a soft curve.

The two of them walked shoulder to shoulder like this towards the vegetable market, looking like a young couple living their ordinary lives.

Chen family,

Master Chen was standing in the garden, teasing the new favorite pet hanging in the birdcage on the tree, his body overflowing with a lazy air. Next to him was a young and beautiful little maid carrying a tray with the bird food he needed.

Just as Master Chen was teasing the bird, the butler slowly walked in, first saluting towards Master Chen before saying, “Master, I have completed what you ordered before.

Hearing his words, Master Chen stopped the movements in his hands and turned his head in his direction, looking at his serious face, he placed the bird-teasing thing in his hands onto the little maid’s tray and waved his hand towards her to ask her to leave.

Only when that young maid sensibly retreated, did Master Chen slowly look towards the housekeeper and whisper, “Say it.”

“Yes.” The housekeeper’s face was serious as he spoke with Master Chen about today’s events, “I inquired a few days ago and found out that there was indeed that female prisoner called Qiao Xin in the women’s prison. I used a little trick to get them to increase her sentence and get them to exile her. Today is the day they exiled the prisoners, I specially went to the scene and made sure that that woman was also in the escorted prisoners. I’m sure that she won’t be able to return in the future.”

Hearing the butler say this, Master Chen hooked his lips. He seemed really pleased, then he praised him and said, “You’ve done well.” A few moments of gratitude surfaced on the butler’s face, before soon he continued, “By the way, Master. I’ve already taken back that shop and have asked my nephew to help sublet it, so I guess I’ll be able to receive the rent in a few days.”

Hearing this, the smile on Master Chen’s face grew even more heartily as he patted the butler’s shoulder and said cheerfully, “I’m still really at ease when you’re the one in charge.”

“Master, praise me too much; these are all things I should do.” The butler slightly bent over, acting extraordinarily humble.

Master Chen withdrew his hand and put it behind his back, asking as if nothing had happened, “I’ve heard that your brother has been looking for work recently?”

The butler’s eyes immediately lit up when he heard Master Chen’s words, and he couldn’t wait to say, “Yes, Master, I’m sorry to trouble you with this, but my good for nothing brother, he is indeed looking for something to do recently.”

Master Chen stroked his mustache and continued, “It just so happens that there was a vacancy in the grain shop some time ago, you should let your brother go over to take a look at it then.”

“Yes, yes, thank you for helping me, to be able to work for a Master’s is truly this little one’s honor for three lifetimes (consider to be lucky).”

“Alright, as long as you do a good job, Master, me, won’t treat you badly.” Master Chen patted his shoulder and smiled as he promised.

Waiting for the butler who deeply grateful left the garden, Master Chen’s originally gentle face gradually turned cold, as if he had thought of something, he gently snorted and said disdainfully, “Qiao Xin ah, don’t blame me for being cruel, who asked you didn’t know how to appreciate my kindness?
