Chapter 799: Shop Renovation Completed
Chapter 799: Chapter 799: Shop Renovation Completed
This restaurant is a must-stop for He Jinxuan and the others on their journey south. Unless there’s something unusual, it’s their first stop after leaving the Capital to refill water and have a meal.
So, they’ve become quite familiar with the folks here.
Everyone knows that He Jinxuan is never stingy with his brothers, but he’s never as generous with others.
What they don’t know is that it’s thanks to Xinyan’s guidance. When he’s out, he never interacts with unrelated women.
So when they heard the girl’s words, everyone was curious to see something new.
He Jinxuan watched as everyone finished their tasks outside and then walked into the restaurant together. Xiao Zhao directly called out to the waiter, who had just come out from the kitchen, "Sister Liang, the usual."
The woman, called Sister Liang, replied with a smile, "I’ve already asked Master Zhao to prepare it for you."
As she spoke, she deftly carried several empty bowls to the table they seated at, placed the bowls, and then turned back to the kitchen to fetch a large iron kettle, pouring several bowls of noodle soup.
While pouring, she glanced at the two who came in wanting to mooch, and then lowered her voice to ask, "Did you bring those two on the other side?"
Xiao Zhao raised his bowl, about to drink the noodle soup, and replied, "Yeah, hitchhikers."
Sister Liang said with a smile, "That girl is truly interesting. She wanted to charge her meal to you guys, but luckily the man with her has some backbone."
He Jinxuan heard this but remained unperturbed; even if they caused trouble before him, he wouldn’t care as they weren’t his concern.
He told everyone, "We left a bit late today, so let’s eat quickly. We’ll try to cover more ground in the afternoon and reach our usual stay by night."
Everyone understood He Jinxuan’s point, as they were carrying goods, safety was paramount.

Meanwhile, Xinyan became busy; the shop renovation was nearly complete.
The carpenter Ling Tianze hired was rushing to finish the goods Xinyan ordered in the past few days.
Besides her own stock in the space, Lin Kaixin would have to be relied upon for additional supplies.
She planned to visit the research institute this weekend.
Firstly, she missed Ye Silai and Ye Siyan; secondly, she wanted to meet Lin Kaixin to discuss things, so Lin Kaixin could coordinate with the garment factory to reserve the goods, avoiding the need to queue for them later.
When Xinyan arrived at the shop, she overheard discussions about mobilization efforts with the residents behind her property; as long as they signed, they could receive compensation, and the project staff hoped to expedite their relocation.
Xinyan even made inquiries; it turned out it was the area behind her house being demolished, and the courtyard would be converted to a shop.
She thought about how she could enjoy a carefree life just by renting out shops, and felt quite happy about it.
She took a tour around, thinking she should quickly rent out the renovated shops, then turned into the first courtyard, found a spot, took out paper and pen from the space, and wrote several rental notices.
After coming out, she handed them to Ling Tianze, who was overseeing the work there: "Post these on the wall."
Ling Tianze glanced at the contents, nodded in agreement, and asked, "Which shop should we keep?"
Xinyan pointed to the one she’d already chosen, "The one in the middle and the last one in the third courtyard."
Ling Tianze seemed a bit puzzled, "You want to open two clothing stores?"
