Chapter 889: Chapter 892 Slacking Off?
She wanted to say she was very happy that Tan Zhenghong had come back early, but she absolutely wouldn’t admit it.
Cough cough, actually, she also had the kind of character that was secretly passionate.
Even though she felt ecstatic inside, her mouth stubbornly said no.
Hmm...saying it that way seems a bit dirty.
Tan Zhenghong didn’t squeeze onto the beauty couch but instead moved a small stool to sit next to Qiao Duo’er, he was covered in dust from the journey, filthy.
After having dinner and a bath, then he’d hug his wife.
Tan Zhenghong naturally took over fanning Duo’er with the fan, from last year to this, he had done it many times, it had even become a habit.
Before Tan Zhenghong could speak, Qiao Duo’er was already asking another question, "Are you getting lazy?"
Counting it up, this guy had only been gone for eight days!
Could eight days be enough to get a shop in Cheng County up and running from scratch?
Isn’t this fooling ghosts?
"The shop is seventy percent new; a little refurbishment will do. I also brought a few old hands from White Stone Town, nothing will go wrong with them there,"
Tan Zhenghong said proudly.
He had made preparations before going to Cheng County, and he had handed things over to the Zou’s as well.
Upon arriving in Cheng County, he immediately went to inspect the shop. Both the size of the shop and its location were good, so he decided on the spot.
On the third day, the Zou’s couldn’t wait for him to go there and sent over the people they had arranged in advance to Cheng County, including a shopkeeper and a foreman.
On the fourth day, he discussed with them the areas that needed renovation and remodeling.
If he hadn’t been delayed a few days finding craftsmen for the renovations, he would have returned even sooner.
"You really are confident," Qiao Duo’er couldn’t help curling her lip.
Buying the shop, hiring staff, plus the investment in goods and personnel, this would take at least several hundreds of silver taels, and she didn’t expect Tan Zhenghong to be so indifferent about it.
"The servitude contracts of the shopkeeper and the foreman are here with me, plus I’ve given them some shares, they’ll definitely work conscientiously,"
Tan Zhenghong had planned everything well in advance, including the details which he had discussed with the Zou’s.
It might not be flawless, but it certainly wouldn’t be a significant problem.
Tan Zhenghong had always been a cautious man; Qiao Duo felt too lazy to worry about it, and Tan Zhenghong directed the conversation back to the question at hand.
"Tell me the truth, do you find me annoying?"
Tan Zhenghong asked seriously, as if this were the case, he would have to make some changes in the future.
Qiao Duo’er said insincerely, "Yeah, I do find you annoying. I think you’re like an eighty-year-old grandpa."
He always had to personally inquire about everything related to her, and he was repeatedly mentioning the precautions to her.
Isn’t that annoying?
Tan Zhenghong said dissatisfiedly, "You’re so heartless. I do all this because I care for you; it’s a sign of love. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t even give it a glance."
"Your ability to gross someone out is getting better and better." 𝖓𝔬𝖛𝔭𝔲𝖇.𝔠𝔬𝖒
Qiao Duo’er shivered from the goosebumps on her body.
Suddenly remembering something, Tan Zhenghong said mischievously, "Since you despise me so much, I won’t give you the stuff. Cheng County is a great place with many famous snacks, like lotus leaf chicken, twisted dough strips, eight-treasure soup, and rice dumplings, and so on."
Each one is simple yet classic.
He had gotten up early today to raid Cheng County’s snacks, and he brought back everything that could be brought.
For this, he had specially prepared a nine-tiered food box with ice inside, changing it twice along the way to ensure the food wouldn’t spoil.
Qiao Duo’er’s eyes rolled around before she offered up her soft, fragrant lips.
Tan Zhenghong didn’t hesitate to give them a peck, satisfyingly went to the kitchen to prepare something for Duo’er to eat.
Before long, a huge pile of snacks was laid out in front of Qiao Duo’er.
