“Yes, this Gu’s seems to be selling canned food. Canned food like those in Jinxiu Restaurant.” Steward Zhou nodded, feeling extremely unhappy.

Zhou Dafu and Gu Yundong saw Liu Wei and the manager of Jinxiu Restaurant. The manager was holding a gift box and congratulated Gu Yundong as soon as he entered.

“It’s an auspicious day to open for business. Miss Gu’s place is indeed lively.”

Xue Rong came up to take the gift box and invited Liu Wei and the shopkeeper inside.

Liu Wei waved his hand. “You don’t have to entertain me. I’m just here to help.”

Xue Rong ignored him and only served them sugar water.

After a while, another carriage stopped outside and someone alighted from it.

As soon as he entered, he greeted them with a smile, “Boss Gu, your business is booming.”

Gu Yundong was stunned. Before she could react, she saw the manager of Jinxiu Restaurant stand up and welcome him. “So it’s Old Master Zhuo.”

Old Master Zhuo? Gu Yundong suddenly thought of Zhuo Guang.

“Welcome, Old Master Zhuo. Please come in. Please forgive me for my lack of hospitality.”

Old Master Zhuo laughed and said, “Boss Gu, you’re too polite. I’ve long heard from our Zhuo Guang that Boss Gu is smart and capable. You opened such a huge shop in the prefectural city and your business is the rare canned food and white sugar. Last time, that kid brought back a lot of good things from Boss Gu, and we were extremely greedy.”

Gu Yundong did not expect Old Master Zhuo to be so straightforward. She immediately smiled. “Old Master Zhuo, you praise me so much that I’m embarrassed. You flatter me. These are just small things. Please don’t laugh at me.”

“You’re being modest, aren’t you? I’ve been looking forward to the opening of your shop for a long time, so I came over early in the morning. Later, you have to leave some canned food for me to bring back.”

“Of course.”

Gu Yundong asked Xue Rong to bring him to sit in the backyard. She also kicked Liu Wei to the backyard to chat with him.

Old Master Zhuo asked the people behind him to bring the gifts over.

Gu Yundong had just ordered someone to serve tea when two more carriages stopped outside.

Gu Yundong still did not know him, but… one of them looked very familiar. She could tell at a glance that he was the brother of the student surnamed Cai who had pretended to be Mountain Elder Qi in the Fate Hut the other day. They were too similar.

As expected, that person introduced himself. He was Cai Yong’s elder brother.

The father of another student came with him. They looked like scholars, polite and elegant.

Gu Yundong went forward and exchanged a few pleasantries before they were led to the backyard by Shao Qingyuan.

Not long after, a few more people came in with gift boxes.

In the carriage opposite Gu’s shop, Zhou Dafu frowned slightly.

Steward Zhou also had a bad feeling in his heart. “Master, those people who are coming don’t seem to be ordinary commoners.”

He knew the shopkeeper of Jinxiu Restaurant, but he was not very familiar with Old Master Zhuo and the others.

But from the looks of it, he was probably not from an ordinary poor family.

Zhou Dafu frowned slightly. “Wait for another 15 minutes and get those to do it.”

For some reason, he felt uneasy. His heart was racing, as if something big was about to happen.

Steward Zhou swallowed his saliva and was about to nod when he suddenly saw a familiar figure.

His eyes widened. “Master, that seems to be… the steward of the Nie Residence.”

Nie Residence?

Zhou Dafu suddenly looked in the direction he was pointing at and saw a carriage parked at the entrance of Gu’s.
