Chapter 44 Opening a Shop II
After waiting for a long time, Qin was definitely unwilling to waste time sitting and sitting. simply sat cross-legged on the spot, and actually cultivated in the place where the city lord worked.
Ouyang Xiu raised his head slightly, glanced at Qin Jue in retreat, and continued to review the documents with a smile on his face.
It wasn't until it was time for lunch that Ouyang Xiu stopped his work and got up to leave the case.
Qin Jue also opened his eyes at the right time.
"Let's go and eat with my old man, and talk about you by the way. After Ouyang Xiu finished speaking, he walked forward.
Follow the other person and walk along a path with a quiet surroundings. After a while, I passed through a side door and entered a mansion.
Eventually, the two of them came to a living room where the meal was already set on a round table.
A few simple dishes don't look luxurious, just like an ordinary home.
"Go and call Miss. Ouyang Xiu commanded at a maid. After speaking, he seemed to be afraid that his daughter would not want to come, and added: "If she doesn't want to come, tell her that I have invited Qin Dugongzi to come." ”
The maid took the order and left, Ouyang Xiu smiled awkwardly, and sighed: "I am an unqualified father, and my daughter has always been quite prejudiced against me. No, if you want to have a meal with her, you have to rely on your face. It made Childe smile. ”
After speaking, he seemed a little helpless and sad, and shook his head slightly.
Seeing Qin Jie's face full of incomprehension, Ouyang Xiu first motioned for him to take a seat. Then he said: "I haven't thanked my son for saving my life to my little daughter." Listening to Fei'er, Childe not only saved her life, but also arranged his own guards to protect her out of the valley. Later, a series of changes occurred in the valley, Fei'er took your portrait and asked me to arrange for someone to go into the valley to find you, but there has been no news from you. I saw you today, but fortunately you are safe and sound. ”
Listening to the other party's words, Qin Jue suddenly became enlightened. However, I continued to listen to the other party's words, but I felt that things were not so simple.
"I also know about the Nalan family's disturbance of your residence. The Nalan family has gradually grown in strength over the years, and there is a faint tendency to replace my Ouyang family. For the sake of the peaceful life of the people in the city, I have not touched them before, but I did not expect to raise tigers. Now that many aspects of the city's affairs have been infiltrated by their people, it is not easy to pull out their forces. ”
"However, I have begun to put pressure on them, and I believe that they will not be able to take care of your side in the short term. ”
Qin Jue nodded silently, it seems that there is some turmoil in this Antarctic City, and he can't hide it from the old man in front of him. And, as it sounds, he seems to have inadvertently been involved in a power struggle between the two largest forces in Antarctic City.
Ouyang Xiu also remained silent after speaking, as if he was giving the young man in front of him time to digest the information.
The silence lasted for a short time, and was broken by Ouyang Fei who came over.
After Ouyang Fei entered the living room, he didn't pay attention to his father, but noticed Qin Jue as soon as possible.
"Qin Gongzi, is it really you?" Ouyang Fei said with joy.
"Hmm. Qin Jue nodded and replied jokingly: "It's like a fake." ”
"Hehe, I want to thank Gongzi Qin today. Not only did he save Fei'er, but he also earned a lot of credit to our Ouyang family from your aunt. ”
Ouyang Xiu also changed his deep expression just now, smiled heartily, and said to Qin Du: "Gongzi Qin is really the lucky star of my Ouyang family!"
Qin Jue smiled embarrassedly, and hurriedly said: "The city lord has won the award, don't dare to be, don't dare to be." ”
"Really, why did you go to my aunt?Auntie, is she okay?" Ouyang Fei's eyes lit up and asked happily, it seemed that she had a good feeling for her aunt.
"It's a long story, but Elder Ouyang is very good. Qin Jue smiled and said. At this point, of course, he understood that the aunt in the other party's mouth was the female cultivator of the Tianyuan Sect.
Although a banquet is not sumptuous, it is a pleasure for the guests and hosts.
However, the real physical and mental happiness is probably only Ouyang Fei, and it can be seen that the eldest lady of the City Lord's Mansion is still relatively simple-minded.
Of course, Ouyang Xiu had other thoughts. However, being able to dine with his daughter in such a harmonious atmosphere is extremely rare for him, and it is also a great relief for him.
After chatting a few words after dinner, Ouyang Xiu was busy with affairs and left first. Before leaving, he returned the nameplate to Qin Jue, so that he could come to the City Lord's Mansion to play more in the future. If there is something urgent, it is convenient to find yourself. In addition, let Ouyang Fei entertain Qin Du well, and then left.
Qin Jue and Ouyang Fei were left in the hall, and Qin Jue didn't know much about each other, so he didn't answer a word. But the other party was in a good mood, and he said a lot like a little sparrow.
Soon, perhaps because of Ouyang Fei's infection, Qin Jue gradually became talkative, and told many interesting things to the other party.
I have to say that getting along with a girl like Ouyang Fei can easily make people feel relaxed and comfortable.
The two were talking happily when a middle-aged Confucian came over.
After saluting Ouyang Fei first, he said to Qin Du: "The city lord asked me to accompany Qin Gongzi to choose a shop as an additional reward for collecting the evergreen grass this time." ”
"Qin Jue, I'll go with you, I know where the location is the best and the most valuable. Before Qin Jue could answer, Ouyang Fei hurriedly said. She was really innocent, and in just a short period of time, she called Qin Jie's name.
"It's not that I'm not worried about Mr. Liu's affairs, it's just that Qin Jue saved my life, and I have to choose the best shop in Antarctic City for him. ”
When the middle-aged Confucian heard this, he smiled gently and said, "It's all up to Miss, let's pick the best for Qin Gongzi." ”
Liu Zongyuan was the head of the City Lord's Mansion, and the time spent in the City Lord's Mansion was about the same age as Ouyang Fei. I watched each other grow up since I was a child, and I was also extremely spoiled by them.
As a core member of the City Lord's Mansion, he also has a lot of prestige in Antarctic City. Outsiders will respectfully shout 'Mr. Liu San' when they meet. All because there is also a No. 2 person in the City Lord's Mansion 'General Ning'.
Ning Ke held the military power of the city guards of Antarctic City in his hands, and he was only in his early twenties, so he was in such an important position, although he had his own efforts, but the importance and promotion of the city lord Ouyang Xiu was the key.
Qin Jue and the others came all the way to the area around the square in the center of the city. This is the liveliest place in Antarctic City, and it is also a major business location. Being able to open a shop here is a dream for countless businessmen.
Most of the shops here are high-end shops with an area of more than 200 square meters and more than two floors. Among them, there are several top-level commercial buildings with an area of 300 square meters and three floors.
"If you want me to say it's the best. After a few people walked around the entire commercial district, Ouyang Fei pointed to a four-story high, each floor with an area of about four or five hundred square meters, which can be said to be the largest commercial building in the entire commercial area.
Qin Jue looked at it and secretly praised it, if it was only from the point of view of value, this place would undoubtedly be second to none.
After thinking about it, Qin Jue turned his head to look at Mr. Liu San and said, "What does Mr. San think?"
Manager Liu replied with a smile: "It's very good here, but it's ,,," He stretched out his voice, paused slightly, and then continued: "But it's not the best." ”
"Oh!" Qin Jue whispered, waiting for the other party to solve his doubts.
"If you want me to say, the most suitable 'location' for Childe is there. The other party turned around and pointed to another one, which was about the same size, but only had three floors.
"There are still some decoration materials and items needed for the operation of the shop in the city lord's treasury, which are just right for that commercial building. If Gongzi Qin chooses that commercial building, I think the city lord will definitely spare these materials to support Gongzi. ”
Qin Jue followed the other party's finger and saw that the shop opposite the commercial building was hanging with the plaque of the Nalan Chamber of Commerce.
"Well, it's a 'good location'. After pondering for a moment, Qin Jue made a decisive decision and said.
"You guys wonder how suitable the decoration materials are. Qin Jue, don't be fooled by him, if you don't have the money to decorate, I'll help you. Ouyang Fei said bluntly.
"No, I like it there. Qin Jue replied with a smile.
The alternation of the old and new forces is, after all, inevitable all kinds of open and covert struggles. If you want to gain a foothold in Antarctic City, start here!
ps: Ouyang Fei is very simple, because the process of growing up is protected by the City Lord's Mansion. However, the existence of any force cannot be simple. I hope you support this work.,Thank you!
