"Deal." Lin Xuan Qi agreed to the price and the shop owner nodded his head.
"Here is the title deed but I will get the necessary changes done with the magistrate first." The shop owner took out a piece of paper, held it up and said.
"Thanks. Give a mont." Lin Xuan Qi said and went out of the retail shop.
When he returned, he had a wooden chest with him.
He put the wooden chest onto the ground and said, "Here is the paynt for the shop."
The shop owner cupped his hands at Lin Xuan Qi and thanked him.
Imdiately, Lin Xuanqi heard a familiar sound erupt in his mind, and words appeared within it.
[Congratulations to host for procuring a new property.]
[Host is unbeatable within the compound.]
[A bonus of 50 Five-Elent Stones has been delivered.]
[Keep up the good work!]
After checking the taels of gold, the shop owner glanced over at the young won standing by the side.
Lin Xuan Qi nodded his head and said, "Don’t worry, I will keep my promise."
He turned around at the young won and he started to brief them on what was to be expected from them.
They were also briefed on things like what he planned to sell, the targeted custors, and the experience so far from the retail shop in Hong Feng City.
The young won listened carefully and tried to take in as much information as they could.
Finally, when he was done, he said to the young won, "I will have the employnt contract with you ready by tomorrow, and after you have signed it, I will start with the training program for all of you.
"But first, I need soone to be in charge of the retail store."
The young won and the shop owner pointed at one of the young won.
"Ru Hua has been taking care of the shop for many years."
Lin Xuan Qi didn’t know the young won well enough yet, so he took their recomndation for the ti being.
"Ru Hua, you shall be in charge of the retail store when it is operational.
"And as a remuneration for that, you will be paid a tael of silver more than the others."
Ru Hua’s eyes opened wide when she heard the extra amount she could get and she imdiately bowed at him, "Thank you so much, Master Lin.
"I will try my best to make sure that everything goes accordingly to your plan."
Lin Xuan Qi nodded his head at her and said, "Don’t worry. I will judge by your actions.
"If you do well and work hard for it, everyone will be rewarded handsoly."
He said and glanced at the other young won, letting them know what he would expect from them.
They nodded their heads at him and said, "We will make sure of it, Master Lin."
With everything settled, Lin Xuan Qi glanced at them and said, "Be back here tomorrow morning to sign the contract, if you want to stay in the retail shop.
"And if you don’t want to, feel free to find better opportunities for your own future."
The young won were surprised with the choice and they nodded their heads in silence.
Most of them didn’t mind staying on as the terms and paynt weren’t that much of a difference to them.
Better to be comfortable sowhere they were used to, rather than taking a risk and moving on to unknown places where it might not be any better.
After he was done, Lin Xuan Qi glanced over at Sima Long and Lu Ting and said, "Ti for us to have lunch?"
Sima Long and Lu Ting didn’t have any objection and they left the retail shop afterwards.
"This place is great with their stead fish." Lu Ting said when they stood outside an inn.
"Sounds great to ." Sima Long rubbed his tummy and was more than eager to try it out.
Lin Xuan Qi didn’t mind and nodded his head in agreent.
The inn was crowded and busy.
At first, the innkeeper didn’t bother with them.
He had his head down, busy checking the orders from the custors.
But when the innkeeper lifted his head and saw Lu Ting, he quickly stopped what he was doing and ca out from the counter.
"Young mistress Lu, what an honor for you to patronize my humble inn." He said and bowed deeply to Lu Ting.
The innkeeper proceeded to stretch out his hands, gesturing for them to enter and said, "Please follow to the esteed guest suite."
Sima Long was surprised to see Lu Ting being so respected for the first ti.
He kept quiet and figured that it should have been expected.
The Lu and Huo Clans were after all, powerful enough to be living in the inner city.
He was full of envy with Lu Ting and Huo Fei Li, and wished that his child would be able to garner such respect and influence.
Lin Xuan Qi wasn’t surprised with it and he didn’t mind the convenience that it brought for him.
For now, it was having a guest suite for a al, and it would be an endless flow of Spirit Herbs for his Five-Elent Qi Concentration Pills soon.
They followed the innkeeper to a private suite in a corner of the inn, that was far away from the crowd.
The innkeeper got them seated and hurriedly shouted for the waiters to do their jobs.
"Any preferences?" Lu Ting asked and Lin Xuan Qi shook his head.
"Then, I shall order what I usually have here." She glanced over at the waiter and the waiter imdiately knew what she wanted.
While they waited, Lin Xuan Qi glanced over at Sima Long and asked, "Where would you go later?"
Sima Long shrugged and said, "I have no idea. Maybe have so wine with Huo Fei Li and his friends."
He was happy with the tis that he had spent so far in Bian Jing.
Lin Xuan Qi nodded his head and said, "We might be leaving soon, maybe you would want to check out where we can buy souvenirs or gifts for bringing back ho."
"Oh yeah. I would have forgotten if you didn’t remind ." Sima Long shook his head and glanced over at Lu Ting.
Lu Ting wanted to say sothing but she stopped when she saw Lin Xuan Qi shaking his head at her.
