Chapter 102: Arriving in the Capital (Please add to collection)

If it weren't for Yun Xi, he might have starved to death long ago; how could he have reached a day where he could realize his ambitions? Therefore, regarding the matters proposed by Yun Xi, he would definitely do his utmost to complete them, no matter how much sweat and effort it required.

Opening a branch of Yuemanlou in the capital was not just Yun Xi's hope, but the result of many years of hard work by the group. Over these years, Yuemanlou had leaped from an obscure little shop to a renowned chain store throughout Fengliguo. Although none of the individual shops were particularly large, the items sold within them were extremely rare. This was also the primary reason why Yuemanlou had been able to establish a firm foothold throughout Fengliguo over these years.

"Rumeng, it might be hard on you from here on out. As for me, I'll just be responsible for handling these preliminary matters, but your burden might be quite significant."

Rumeng was the diplomat for the entire team, responsible for the opening of many shops, daily maintenance, making connections with high-level personnel, and so on. It had to be said that Yun Xi's vision was very sharp; Rumeng's feisty personality was clearly very well-suited for these matters. Having handled many affairs over the years, it could be said that Rumeng's contributions were paramount to Yuemanlou being able to operate safely until now.

Rumeng also laughed, but her smile was somewhat bitter, and a faint trace of sorrow lingered in her eyes. This scene was seen by Yun Xi. Fusheng and Yunlu were men and would not notice such things, while Old Man Meng kept his eyes squinted, seemingly lost in thought about other matters. Thus, only Yun Xi caught this moment. She never knew that the usually easygoing Rumeng could have such a sorrowful expression, even though the expression was quickly masked.

"Of course, this is my specialty. Just you wait and see; when the capital's Yuemanlou opens, it will certainly be very lively."

Yun Xi saw Rumeng take a deep breath, her face wearing a look of determination as if she had made a certain decision, before instantly donning a dreamlike smile.

"Of course, if Rumeng is taking action, we are naturally at ease."

"Yeah, Sister Rumeng is the best!"

Yunlu and Fusheng each offered a word of praise. Only Old Man Meng glanced at Rumeng, his eyes squinting once more, without saying a word.

Although Yun Xi did not know why Rumeng had made such an expression, she knew that now was not the time to speak of it.

"Alright, since it has been decided, the few of us will set off for the capital soon. We'll let others take responsibility for the matters here."

Everyone nodded, and then they dispersed to attend to their respective tasks.

Yun Xi sat alone in the room, thinking about Rumeng's expression just now. She had originally wanted to call her back to ask about it, but thinking that if Rumeng was unwilling to speak, it wouldn't be right for her to pry.

Forget it, just wait. When Rumeng is ready to speak, she will naturally say it.

A few days later, the group arrived in the capital quietly. None of them were ostentatious people; although Yuemanlou's business had grown very large over the years, the group remained very low-profile in private. This was also the reason why the owners of Yuemanlou had never been exposed all these years.

Upon arriving at the arranged residence, people had already stepped forward to take the carriages away and arrange for food. Over the years, as everyone traveled from place to place, they never stayed in one location for too long. Thus, following the modern concept of investing in real estate when one has money, Yun Xi liked to buy a courtyard in every place, arranging for a few people to clean and serve. Regardless, since this place was their temporary residence, it was best to have it tidied up properly.
