Exposed.

Cheng Yun was shocked and looked at Liu Wen, who smiled and nodded at him with an air of confidence.

He raised his face, wearing an expression seeking praise but still pretending not to care, and said, “Take a look and see if there’s any problem. If not, sign it quickly. But I don’t think there will be any issues.”

Cheng Yun didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, but he still lowered his head and carefully read through the contract.

The contract was about a newly opened hot pot restaurant. It stated that Liu Wen would receive 60% of the profits from the restaurant, while Cheng Yun would receive 40%. Liu Wen would cover the initial costs of purchasing the shop and decorating it, and the operating costs would be deducted from the profits, with the remaining earnings split between them.

Liu Wen was afraid that Cheng Yun might find the 60-40 split unfair, so he explained, “You see, I will cover all the initial costs, and it usually takes a few months for a new shop to start making money. That’s why I wrote down 60%. If you have any concerns, we can discuss it.”

Cheng Yun didn’t dare to have any dissatisfaction. This contract was incredibly sincere!

Until now, he still felt that selling the hot pot idea to Liu Wen and receiving some silver taels as usual, or even a 10% profit would have been remarkable. But he never expected that Liu Wen wanted him to become a shareholder!

His heart was pounding, and his hand holding the partnership contract was trembling. After calming down his excitement, he looked at Liu Wen with an anticipating gaze and said, “A 60-40 split, won’t it be too advantageous for you? I just mentioned an idea…”

Liu Wen instantly let go of his worries and waved his hand, saying, “If you had taken this idea to someone else, anyone with a bit of insight would have treated it as a treasure. At the very least, with your current skills, you could have started a small shop and gradually made it successful. But you didn’t,” Liu Wen spoke frankly, “You chose to cooperate with me. This new shop has an entirely new concept, starting from scratch. I hope that after this shop, we’ll have dozens or even hundreds of shops waiting for us. This is a long-term investment.”

Liu Wen had a cup of tea brought for Cheng Yun and continued, “As for you, just sign the contract and be at ease. We’ll have meals and porridge together in the future. Well, porridge might not be possible, but with your ideas and my management skills, Yueqiong Tower will only get better!”

Cheng Yun was moved and could also understand Liu Wen’s intentions. In modern terms, Liu Wen was retaining talent by offering equity. Cheng Yun had encountered a good boss.

He nodded, without any hesitation, and signed his name on the contract, saying, “I have no issues at all. I hope we have a happycooperation!”

“Happy cooperation!”

Cheng Yun’s mood was still floating even after they finished their meal. Was he going to become a boss now?

Liu Wen had some fruit brought in by Li Fan and started discussing the details of the new shop with Cheng Yun. Cheng Yun forced himself to concentrate.

“For the new shop, I plan to make it an open space without windows on the first floor. It will be surrounded by wooden fences, allowing for ventilation. Moreover, the aroma of the hot pot will spread to the street, attracting passersby.”

Cheng Yun had no objections to this plan but brought up another concern he had, “Is there no problem with the blacksmith master? Will the hot pot model leak into the market?”

Cheng Yun asked this question, and Liu Wen immediately knew what he wanted to know.

Liu Wen said, “There’s no problem with the master; we have a long-standing partnership. However, we will definitely need to station more people in the shop to prevent anyone from getting any ideas and taking the hot pot away.”

Cheng Yun was surprised, but considering the social context, it wasn’t that hard to understand such behavior.

Liu Wen continued, “Initially, I will send the existing staff from Yueqiong Tower to the new shop. They know the ins and outs and won’t make any mistakes. We’ll hire a new batch of staff for the old shop. I’ll be careful with the selection to avoid a situation like the previous shopkeeper.”

Cheng Yun understood he was referring to the incident when he first arrived and the shopkeeper treated him disrespectfully.

Yang Hongjin, who had been sitting quietly on the side all this time, finally reacted. He frowned and said, “That shopkeeper was no good.”

He suddenly made this statement, causing Cheng Yun and Liu Wen to be momentarily stunned before they both smiled helplessly.

Liu Wen wanted to tease him, and asked, “What was wrong with that shopkeeper?”

Yang Hongjin’s frown deepened, and he actually listed the charges against the shopkeeper, “He bullied us, overcharged us, and even made fun of us with others.” He turned to Cheng Yun, grabbing his hand, and said, “Fortunately, my wife is capable. From now on, Hongjin will also be capable and protect my wife!”

Liu Wen burst into laughter, pointing at Yang Hongjin and said to Cheng Yun, “Your husband is so amusing. He only gets so nervous when it involves his own matters.”

Cheng Yun chuckled along, but his mood was somewhat complex.

They made some adjustments to the plan for the new shop, finalized the menu, and almost everything was ready. Basically, when the pots are ready, the new shop can be opened for business.

After leaving Yueqiong Tower, Cheng Yun bought some things in town. The weather had quickly turned colder. It was sunny in the morning but chilly at night. Even with a fire, the cold air still crept into the house.

Cheng Yun placed several orders at a tailoring shop, getting new clothes for Yang Hongjin and buying ready-made coats for both of them. As he was about to leave with the clothes, the shop owner recommended a few types of fabric.

“Take a look at these, brother. These new fabrics are perfect for making blankets. They have a silky touch, and you can fill them with Hangcheng silk. They’ll keep you warm in winter and cool in summer. You can use them all year round! It’s been getting colder these days, with high temperatures at noon and coolness at midnight. These blankets are most suitable for this kind of weather.”

The shop owner could see that Cheng Yun had good taste in clothing and treated the “fool” with care. After thinking for a moment, he decided to approach him through the “fool.”

“These days, it’s truly getting colder by the day. Your husband has a strong body and can withstand it, but the young master is naturally more susceptible to the cold. You should pay more attention to his well-being.” After saying that, he turned to Yang Hongjin and added, “Young master, you should take good care of your husband’s health and make sure he doesn’t catch a cold.”

Cheng Yun knew exactly what the shop owner was scheming, but he couldn’t deny that the words touched his heart.

He glanced at Yang Hongjin, who was looking at him at the same time. Their eyes met, and Cheng Yun’s heart trembled suddenly.

Cheng Yun was about to speak when Yang Hongjin preempted him, saying, “Wife, let’s get a new blanket!”

Seeing his sparkling eyes, Cheng Yun didn’t know what he was thinking, but he had a slight feeling of unease. Sure enough, the next thing the idiot said was, “Let’s get a big one so we can share the same blanket!”

Cheng Yun: “…”

He didn’t even dare to look at the shop owner’s expression!

But in the end, unable to resist the joint attack from both of them, Cheng Yun paid a deposit and quickly left with Yang Hongjin.

On the way back home, Cheng Yun frequently glanced at Yang Hongjin.

The idiot’s behavior today deepened Cheng Yun’s doubts, or rather, he was almost certain that the power of the spoken language was effective.

Cheng Yun watched as Yang Hongjin tightly held his hand, his heart pounding non-stop. The feeling of uncertainty inside him had diminished slightly.

Even if Yang Hongjin got better, he would still remember what had happened in the past. And even if he got better, he would still love Cheng Yun just as much.

During their time at Yueqiong Tower, when Yang Hongjin mentioned the shopkeeper, his expression of unity against a common enemy was genuine. And when they were at the fabric shop, the affection in his eyes was equally sincere.

As long as Cheng Yun was certain that Yang Hongjin would still love him, he would no longer feel lost.

Since learning that Yang Hongjin was gradually improving and gaining the ability to distinguish things for himself, Cheng Yun had reduced his supervision over him. However, most of the time, Yang Hongjin still obediently stayed at home, sticking to him.

The ordered blanket was quickly made. On the night they changed the blanket, Yang Hongjin climbed into bed early, arching and twisting on the bed as if he had discovered some precious treasure. He shouted happily to Cheng Yun, “Wife, this blanket is so comfortable!”

Cheng Yun was a little annoyed and patted his butt, telling him to stop moving around. Only after turning off the lights did Cheng Yun slowly crawl into bed.

The shop owner was right; the blanket was indeed very comfortable and warm in the cold winter. Moreover, there was a huge human-shaped heater behind him.

Just as Cheng Yun laid down, Yang Hongjin pressed against him from behind, forcibly pulling him into his embrace. He rubbed his chin against Cheng Yun’s shoulder, sighing with satisfaction, “Wife, it’s so warm.”

Cheng Yun blushed slightly but didn’t push him away. He patted the hands that were wrapped around his waist and said, “Don’t hold me so tightly; I can’t breathe.”

In the past, Yang Hongjin would obediently let go, but today he seemed more persistent. He retorted, “No way! I sleep like this with you every day, and you sleep so well, wife!”

After saying that, he triumphantly rubbed his face against Cheng Yun’s.

Cheng Yun was momentarily stunned, then turned his head to look at him with a surprised expression. “Since when do we sleep like this every day?”

Upon hearing this, Yang Hongjin froze for a moment. After a while, it was as if he had been caught red-handed. He avoided looking at Cheng Yun and stuttered, denying it.

Cheng Yun quickly understood. So it turned out this guy took advantage of him being asleep and secretly did things?! No wonder why every morning, he woke up holding Yang Hongjin tightly and wondered a few times why his body was so honest!

He turned around, his hands angrily pinching Yang Hongjin’s face, pulling it outward until his mouth couldn’t close.

“You’ve learned to lie!” Cheng Yun said angrily. “Tell me! Besides secretly hugging me every day, what else have you done?!”

Yang Hongjin looked stunned upon hearing this. After a moment, feeling like he had been caught, he avoided Cheng Yun’s gaze and meekly confessed, “I… I also stole a kiss from you…”

Cheng Yun’s face instantly turned completely red.
