Shen Qingqian stepped forward, smiled and said to the bookstore owner: "Shopkeeper, we don't care how long we can rent it, but we won't rent it recently. If you can afford to wait for your store, we will definitely come back by the end of the year at the latest."
When the boss heard this, his expression changed, "If you don't want to rent, why are you asking?"
He thought he could finally recover some of his losses.
Shen Qingqian raised her eyebrows and said, "It's okay to ask. You have a shop outside for rent, so it's okay for us to ask, right?"
Originally, she wanted to tell him kindly that maybe there was no need to sublet the shop. After all, Mr. Qi would open a school soon. When Shengze mobilized, there would be more children studying, and the bookshop's business would naturally be able to be maintained.
Besides, there is no Enke in the imperial court, and the current situation in northern Hubei is no different from that of an independent country. Maybe it will be opened by itself at some point to select talents.
But since the boss was so unfriendly, Shen Qingqian felt there was no need to tell him.
"Shenchen, let's go."
Shen Qingqian was too lazy to say anything more and led Shen Chen away.
The bookstore owner didn't think it was anything, and even said something bad in his heart. What he didn't know was that without Shen Qingqian's reminder, he regretted it until his intestines were blue soon after.
After Shen Qingqian had a general understanding of the situation in Rong County and still had some time, she asked Shen Chen to take her to Hubei City. She stopped by to see the decoration of the pastry shop.
Who knows, it will last three days.
…
Beijing, Li family
When he heard the news that his confidant had returned, the teacup Li Junyi was holding slipped from his hands and fell to the ground, shattering to pieces.
"What did you say? Li Junxin's family moved away?"
Li Junyi couldn't believe his ears. How could Li Junxin's family move away? The capital is the place where they have always wanted to take root!
Chang Sui was also confused, "I don't know what happened. I asked the neighbors near Master Qi's house, and they all said they didn't know. They only said that they were moving things out more than a month ago, and they were moved out ten days ago." I didn’t hear any movement in the mansion.”
Li Junxin is Li Hezhou's father. He is the same generation as the father of Shen Qingman's ex-husband Li Hezhi. He ranks seventh in the entire Li family. The servants of the head of the Li family call him the seventh master.
"How come they didn't tell me at all when they moved out?" Li Junyi was stunned for a while, and immediately said after coming back to his senses, "If you go ask around again, it's probably because their family went out to spend the summer, and the neighbors made a mistake."
After Chang Sui was ordered to retreat, Li Junyi sat on the rosewood chair as if his body was exhausted.
"Impossible, how is it possible to move away? Even if you move away, you shouldn't say hello to the main branch?" Li Junyi murmured to himself.
His eyes fell on the various furnishings in the study, including rosewood tables and chairs, calligraphy and paintings by famous artists from the past, and many furnishings that could be called antiques...
These were all purchased with the money Li Junxin earned.
Thinking of the calculation flashing in Sheng Zhan's eyes that morning, Li Junyi couldn't help but break out a layer of cold sweat on his back.
Under the current situation, the most profitable branch of the Li family no longer simply exists to pave the way for his career!
If Sheng Zhan knew that Li Junxin's family was missing, he would definitely be implicated. It can range from loss of official position to demotion, or life-threatening consequences!
Thinking of this, Li Junyi couldn't sit still anymore, stood up quickly, and shouted outside: "Here, prepare a car, I'm going to Changlong Street!"
Half of the shops on Changlong Street were owned by Li Junxin, and he didn't believe that Li Junxin could afford such a large family fortune!
