Chapter 340
Shengjing is the Imperial City of Chu, and there are hundreds, if not thousands, of restaurants in the city. Since Lingyi wants to do something, she must be the best in Shengjing.
The location of the restaurant was chosen by Lingyi herself. It is located in an excellent location in Shengjing. The rent alone costs 50,000 taels a year, but Lingyi is confident that she can double the money back.
From construction to decoration, everything inside was arranged by Lingyi herself. As for the opening time of the restaurant, Lingyi chose the Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of May, which is also Shen Qing's birthday.
Linjiang Tower, which was full of guests, was Lingyi's birthday gift to Shen Qing.
Linjiang Restaurant is not like other restaurants. It was prosperous in the first few days after it opened, but gradually fell into mediocrity after a while. Instead, it was prosperous, and as Lingyi expected, it gradually reached the top of Shengjing Restaurant, and finally Sit tight on the high platform.
Linjiang Building suddenly became the largest property under Shen Qing's name, and Lingyi also put most of her efforts into it. As for the remaining shops, they have been in business for many years and have already formed their own distribution channels. The system is under the supervision of Chongling, so Ayayi doesn't need to worry about it at all.
On June 22nd, Lingyi got the news that Shen Qing and Mu Ziqian had successfully reconciled. To celebrate, Lingyi discounted all the dishes that day by 50%, which could be regarded as another disguise for Linjiang Tower. A wave of publicity.
Linjiang Tower's business gradually stabilized, and Lingyi's mind began to look in other directions. However, on June 24th, something happened.
Mo Wuchen, whom Lingyi once rescued outside Nuanyu City, unexpectedly found Shengjing.
Moreover, to Lingyi's surprise, Mo Wuchen is actually the cousin of Shen Qing's current fiancé, Lu Yan.
Such a coincidence really surprised Ayayi.
Lingyi could tell that Mo Wuchen was happy to see her, but it didn't make any waves in her heart. Mo Wuchen could only be regarded as a slightly familiar younger brother to her.
…
Lingyi never thought that she would have another encounter with Mo Wuchen until he came to Linjiang Tower again in the evening.
Because she knew Mo Wuchen's identity, Lingyi did not refuse to see him.
In the private room, Ling Yi was dressed in Tsing Yi and sitting on a chair by the window. Her every move and smile made Mo Wuchen's heart flutter.
"Sit down." Lingyi said, and Mo Wuchen immediately sat down not far from Lingyi.
"Tell me, what do you want from me?" Ayayi got straight to the point. First, it was because of her personality, and second, she didn't want to get involved in unnecessary trouble.
She could obviously tell that Mo Wuchen was interested in her, so Lingyi wanted to take this opportunity to make it clear to Mo Wuchen.
Mo Wuchen was a little nervous, "Nothing, I just want to see my sister."
Hearing this, Lingyi suddenly smiled, stood up from the chair, and walked towards Mo Wuchen.
Seeing this, Mo Wuchen swallowed subconsciously.
Lingyi sat down on the chair next to Mo Wuchen, looked into Mo Wuchen's eyes and asked seriously, "Do you like me?"
Although he was surprised by Lingyi's directness, Mo Wuchen did not refute, but responded in a low voice: "Yes, I like it."
"But I don't like you, so there's no need for you to waste your time on me." Lingyi responded directly, obviously not prepared to give Mo Wuchen a chance.
Mo Wuchen was slightly hurt, but he still said bravely: "I will let my sister feel my thoughts. Can you... give me a chance?"
Seeing the deep persistence in Mo Wuchen's eyes, Lingyi's refusal was already on her lips and she didn't say it out loud. Regardless, with Mo Wuchen's temperament, repeated refusals would only make him face difficulties more and more.
"Yes, but you can't delay my business. Also, if you haven't made me change my mind after half a year, you will leave me voluntarily."
Seeing Ling Yi relent, Mo Wuchen immediately promised: "Don't worry, sister, I will definitely not affect you."
Seeing the unconcealable joy in Mo Wuchen's eyes, Lingyi felt that Mo Wuchen had a child's heart after all, and his joy and sorrow were so obvious.
After that day, Mo Wuchen visited Laijiang Tower every day, even if it was windy or rainy, he was never absent.
But it is impossible for such a trivial matter to impress Ayayi.
So Mo Wuchen planned to start with Lingyi's preferences.
One day, when the restaurant was free, Mo Wuchen went up to the third floor and gently knocked on the private door.
Lingyi was in the box. When she heard Mo Wuchen's voice, she let him in.
"Sister Ayayi, everything is fine now, let's play chess?"
"Not interested." Mo Wuchen's response was an unexpected rejection.
Mo Wuchen was not discouraged at all, "For those who have bets, whoever wins a round will be given a thousand taels of silver. How about that?"
Ayayi became interested and lazily said "Okay".
In a full afternoon, the two played thirteen games, and Ayayi got thirteen thousand taels.
The first thing Ayayi did after getting the money was to ask someone to go out, "It's getting late, you should go back."
Mo Wuchen had some unfinished thoughts, but he didn't say much because he was afraid of making Lingyi unhappy.
Looking at Mo Wuchen's leaving figure, Lingyi shook her head slightly. She had been alone for many years, and Lingyi had indeed thought about finding someone with a similar mind to be by her side. However, what she wanted was a man who could give her a shoulder. Rather than a child with an unrequited heart.
The next day, Mo Wuchen brought another 10,000 taels of silver. This time, he changed the way of playing the game. Compared with throwing pots, whoever hits the most will get a thousand taels of silver. In just an hour, Mo Wuchen had a new way of playing. All the money became Lingyi's.
After throwing the pot, Mo Wuchen asked Lingyi cautiously, "Sister Lingyi, will you be happy like this..."
"I'm happy, but only because of the money, not because of you."
Mo Wuchen was a little disappointed, but he quickly calmed himself down. Even if Lingyi liked money, it was still his money.
After Mo Wuchen left, Chongyang walked in from the outside, slightly worried, "Sister Lingyi, does Young Master Mo's behavior bother you?"
Ayayi shook her head, her eyes full of indifference, "No."
Hearing this, Chongyang just sighed softly. Mo Wuchen had a special status and a stubborn temper. He was afraid that Lingyi would refuse directly, and he was also afraid that Mo Wuchen would be trapped in it for a long time.
After coming out of the box, Zhonghui saw that he was worried, so he asked a few questions and learned that he was worried about Lingyi. Chonghui gave him a reassuring look and said, "That young master Mo is the former sister of Lingyi." The person who was rescued from the cottage was probably impressed by Sister Lingyi’s domineering attitude. He probably lost interest after being ignored by Sister Lingyi a few times, so there’s no need to worry too much.”
Hearing what Chonghui said, Chongyang felt relieved.
However, the reality was somewhat beyond their expectations, because Mo Wuchen's persistence exceeded their expectations.
Even after being kept in the cold by Ayayi for three months, she was still able to come here with a smile every day.
Zhong Hui smacked his tongue slightly, "Don't tell me, this young master Mo is quite stubborn."
Chongming touched his chin, "Is it possible that he really fell in the eyes of Sister Lingyi in the end?"
Chongyang is not optimistic, "I think it's unlikely."
Lingyi's business is very big, and almost everyone in the Shengjing business district knows about it. There have been many suitors in the past few years, but none of them can catch Lingyi's eye.
Not only did Lingyi look down on her, they also looked down on her. In their eyes, Lingyi was the best girl in the world, and the man who could be worthy of her must be the best man in the world.
Chonghui changed his mind slightly, "Young Master Mo is the only one who can persist for three months."
Chongming nodded in agreement, "Indeed, but if I had a younger brother-in-law, I would probably be autistic."
Chongyang echoed, "I will too."
While the three of them were chatting in low voices, Mo Wuchen looked over and greeted with a smile: "Hello, three brothers."
The three of them smiled stiffly and nodded in response.
As soon as Mo Wuchen walked up the stairs, a gentle male voice came from the door: "Hello, I want to ask, is Miss Lingyi here?"
