Chapter 293 Preparing for a New Business
Before he finished speaking, he placed his lips directly on her forehead, then slid them to the tip of her nose, until they landed on her red lips, where he began a rapid, deep kiss. His kiss was passionate and lingering, making Lan Zhi's whole body tingle and her head spin.
After a passionate kiss, he scooped her up in his arms and carried her straight to the bed, where they began their lovemaking...
The next morning, after feeding her child, Lan Zhi went out with Wei Jianning.
They decided to first find a suitable location on the main street to open a clinic, since the most important thing for doing business well is the storefront.
After walking around the streets, the four of them arrived at the entrance of a pharmacy. Yuan Tianxiong pointed to the notice posted on the door and said excitedly:
"Young master, this pharmacy is up for sale. Let's just buy it!"
Wei Jianning glanced at it and shook his head.
"This pharmacy is being sold, but business must be bad. We can't sell it."
Why not?
Lan Zhi looked at him suspiciously.
"Their business isn't doing well, but that doesn't mean ours won't. Besides, this place is perfect! It saves us a lot of trouble. Let's go in and take a look."
As she spoke, she strode inside first. Wei Jianning wanted to call her back, but seeing her resolute attitude, he simply followed her in.
The waiter was sleeping, slumped over the table. Lan Zhi approached and tapped the counter a few times with her fingers. The waiter lazily got up, rubbing his eyes as he asked:
"Buying medicine?"
“I don’t want to buy medicine, I want to buy your shop. Name your price.”
Seeing the waiter's expression, Lan Zhi didn't want to say anything more to him, so she simply got straight to the point.
The waiter swallowed hard, looked at her with disbelief, and eagerly pressed for an answer:
"Are you sure you want to buy the shop?"
"Yes, name your price."
"If you rent it, it's one hundred taels a year; if you buy it, it's one thousand taels."
"purchase."
She spoke so frankly that the waiter found it hard to believe.
"Girl, you're not kidding me, are you?"
“I don’t have time to tease you. I want this shop. Go get the deed, and we’ll exchange the money for the deed.”
Although the waiter was still somewhat skeptical, he went to the inner room to get the house deed. Wei Jianning asked, puzzled:
"My lady, is this settled?"
Lan Zhi nodded without hesitation.
"Hmm, this shop is right on the street, and it only costs one thousand taels, which is a fair price. Why not make a decision?"
"But...but business is so bad..."
"His business is doing poorly, but that doesn't mean ours is too. After we get the property deed, we'll tidy it up properly and open for business in three days."
Hearing this, Yuan Tianxiong and Aqi were very excited. As long as the clinic had business, they wouldn't have to worry about their future livelihood.
A moment later, the waiter came out with the house deed. Still not quite believing what he had just heard, he asked again.
"Are you sure you want to buy this shop, young lady?"
Lan Zhi took out a thousand taels of silver from her bosom and waved it in front of him.
"Do I look like I'm joking? Sign this contract, give me the deed, and I'll give you the banknotes. We'll be even."
Upon hearing this, the waiter nodded hurriedly.
"Okay, I'll sign it now."
As he spoke, he eagerly signed and pressed his fingerprint on the contract, then respectfully handed the deed to Lan Zhi. Lan Zhi placed a thousand taels of silver in his hand and said to him:
"You have to move everything out of here by dark tomorrow and make room for me."
The waiter carefully tucked the silver note into his pocket, nodding hurriedly.
"Okay, I'll move in right away. The young lady can come and take possession of the house tomorrow at noon."
Lan Zhi carefully put away the house deed and handed it to A Qi. Then, after looking around the room, she turned and left.
Wei Jianning caught up with her and smiled with some surprise:
"When did my wife become so decisive and efficient? Even I, a grown man, feel ashamed of myself."
As Lan Zhi looked around on the street, she said:
"Being indecisive is neither your personality nor mine."
"So where are we going now?"
"Find a pharmacy that can supply us with medicinal herbs, and buy some new tables, chairs, and a counter—they're all too worn out and need replacing. Oh, and the signboard needs to be replaced too..."
Wei Jianning looked at her with great surprise.
"You're opening in three days, and you have so much stuff to prepare, is there enough time?"
After a moment's thought, she said as if she had just remembered something:
“Then let’s split up. You and Yuan Tianxiong will be in charge of ordering the plaque and tables and chairs. I can’t go to the herbal medicine shop to look at the herbs. As for the counter, I’ll decide on that since you don’t know what it looks like.”
Wei Jianning nodded as he asked:
"Okay, what should we name the shop?"
Lan Zhi stopped, rested her chin on one hand, thought for a moment, and then said with delight in her eyes:
"Let's call it Zhining Medical Clinic. We hope that all the patients who come here can stop their illness here and go home peacefully."
After pondering for a moment, Wei Jianning nodded in approval:
"Lan Zhi, Wei Jianning, and Zhi Ning, it combines our names. It's a good name, so I'll make the plaque based on this name."
Lan Zhi waved her hand impatiently.
"Go quickly and get them to finish it within three days. We must open for business in three days."
"clear."
After replying to her, Wei Jianning led Yuan Tianxiong and quickly walked in another direction.
Lan Zhi and A Qi headed straight for the herbal medicine shop in the city.
Although Xingcheng is not large, the main street is very prosperous, with many vendors doing small businesses and many pedestrians coming and going.
As Lan Zhi and A Qi walked, they inquired and finally found out where the medicinal herbs were wholesaled in the city. However, it was far from the main street and quite remote, and it would take about half an hour to walk there.
In order not to waste time, the two of them went straight to the pharmacy.
Just as they were walking through an alley, two men in black suddenly appeared out of nowhere and blocked their way.
These two people came with a fierce attitude and didn't seem like good people, which made Lan Zhi's heart jump into her throat.
Seeing this, Ah Qi quickly stepped in front of Lan Zhi.
"Miss, you go first, leave this to me."
Judging from their appearance, the two men opposite her flew down from the rooftop, and they seemed to be quite skilled. Even if Ah Qi didn't know much kung fu, she, as a woman, was no match for these two men. How could she possibly leave?
She looked at the two men whose faces were veiled in black and questioned them sharply.
"Who are you people? Do you dare to kill someone in broad daylight?"
One of the men in black took out a portrait, examined her against it, and then gave her a disdainful smile.
"The Crown Princess, of all people, has come to this place without even riding a horse. Tsk tsk tsk, what a pity."
Upon hearing this, Lan Zhi knew that the other party had come prepared.
She immediately snorted coldly:
"Who sent you here? I, Lan Zhi, have thought about it over and over, but I still can't figure out who would want to kill me and would chase me all this way to kill me."
"Hahaha!"
The other party threw their head back and laughed.
"You'll have to ask the King of Hell about that."
