Chapter 345: Chapter 345 Grand Opening Banquet (4)_1

"Mr. Meng?" Lin Yuan was surprised by Mo Sanniang’s response when she brought up this topic, having thought Lin Wei was asking about Meng Liangdong’s performance today. After thinking for a bit, Mo Sanniang said, "Well, he seems quite learned, but when it comes to doing business, he’s really not cut out for it. He almost got himself tangled up just calculating an account today. However, he is very eager to learn; whenever there’s something he doesn’t know, he asks straight away, no matter whether you’re educated or not. And, his mind is quite sharp. I just taught him how to keep the books once, and he got the hang of it right away—he didn’t need me to explain a second time."

Hearing Mo Sanniang’s words, Lin Yuan’s face nearly turned dark. She wasn’t asking whether he was good or not, but what Mo Sanniang’s impression of Meng Liangdong was like, what kind of person he was; and if she were to start a new relationship, whether she would be willing to choose someone like Meng Liangdong.

But obviously, Mo Sanniang had misunderstood her intention.

However, it was perhaps for the better that she had mistaken her meaning, considering that Mo Sanniang had truly interacted with Meng Liangdong for just one day today. Although their shops faced each other, it seemed they had never spoken to each other before.

There’s no need to even speak of Meng Liangdong’s blockhead; all day long, besides reading books, he was reading books, paying no attention to his own business, let alone women.

Thinking that matters of the heart couldn’t be rushed, Lin Yuan stopped inquiring further. After saying goodbye to Mo Sanniang, she quickly left and got into the carriage to go to Fuman Building.

Lin Ershuan and his wife hadn’t planned on coming, but they couldn’t resist Lady Liu’s enthusiasm, who insisted they not go back. She also sent Liuzi to the next street over to bring their aunt’s grandchildren and Old Iron Head with his son to Fuman Building.

Lin Yi, driving the carriage, arrived at the entrance of Fuman Building with a few others. Shopkeeper Liu was already waiting at the door to welcome them, while Liuzi, worried that his aunt and the others would feel out of place, had already taken them upstairs to the elegant room to sit.

Lin Jiaxin had difficulty with his legs, but fortunately, it was just a matter of having a meal, which didn’t require much moving around. Lin Yi, who had been practicing martial arts all year round, now shouldered the responsibility of carrying Lin Jiaxin.

Lady Liu’s pregnancy made it difficult for her to walk, so Sister Guizhi and Lin Wei supported her from either side, terrified that there would be any accidents.

Shopkeeper Liu seemed to have something to say, and Lin Yuan intentionally waited until her parents and the others had gone up before bringing up the rear.

"Boss Lady..."

As soon as Shopkeeper Liu began to speak, Lin Yuan quickly raised her hand to stop him, spreading her hands in resignation, "Shopkeeper Liu, why are you and Liuzi stirring up trouble together? Just call me by my name."

Shopkeeper Liu was startled and then laughed awkwardly. Having heard Liuzi say it so many times, he hadn’t even realized he’d started calling her Boss Lady himself. Although they all hoped Lin Yuan would become their boss lady, since she didn’t like it, they’d wait.

"Yes, Miss Lin," Shopkeeper Liu smiled with pursed lips, "I just heard from Liuzi that you had moved the God of Wealth Xia Zheng gave to the Young Master to your place. Are you afraid it might attract thieves to your shop? Do you want me to send someone over to help you keep an eye on it?"

So it was about that.

Lin Yuan thanked Shopkeeper Liu with a smile, but as for getting someone to watch the shop, there was no need. There wasn’t much of value in her shop. The pastries were made and sold the same day, with hardly any leftovers. She kept the day’s earnings on her, and the most valuable item was the God of Wealth figure, but now that she had moved it, it probably wouldn’t catch a thief’s interest.

Yet, Lin Yuan’s concern wasn’t for tonight, but for the future. The God of Wealth was a gift from Xia Zheng and ought to be displayed in the shop. But if she kept it there, she wouldn’t be at ease. Would she really need to hire some martial artists to watch over the shop in the future?

"We can forgo it for today since there are no valuable items in the shop. But who knows about the future? I can’t possibly move this thing back and forth all the time."
