Lin Yuan and Lin Wei looked amusedly at his flustered retreating figure and burst into giggles. Mo Sanniang appeared to be lost in thought, her gaze unusually tender.

Lin Yuan knew this was promising, but she refrained from saying anything more, offering a few soothing words before she left with Lin Wei. She still had to meet the shopkeepers at Fuman Building!

Delayed by several matters, Lin Yuan had been worried she’d be late, but the timing turned out to be just right when she arrived at Fuman Building.

She breathed a sigh of relief, afraid that being late the first time they met would make the shopkeepers think she was trying to show them who’s boss.

Shopkeeper Liu personally greeted her at the entrance.

Ever since he learned Lin Yuan had become a shareholder of Fuman Building, his attitude towards her had grown even more respectful.

Not only because she was the new owner of Fuman Building but also because she was sure to be the future lady boss.

On this point, Shopkeeper Liu had to admire Liuzi to death.

That sly rascal seemed to only have sweet words, but he was also extremely shrewd.

If it weren’t for him leaking the news in advance, Liu would never have guessed that Lin Yuan had caught the eye of the Young Master and was held so tightly that she wouldn’t even consider going back to the capital city.

As the two reached the elegant room on the second floor, all the shopkeepers from the various outlets were already seated quietly around the table, waiting.

Upon seeing Lin Yuan enter, they all stood up in unison.

Although they had been introduced to the new owner by Shopkeeper Liu before, they were still somewhat shocked to see her in person.

She truly was a young girl!

Lin Yuan smiled and looked around at each of them. She believed that if it weren’t for Xia Zheng sitting across from them like a formidable Buddha, these shopkeepers might have already started to gossip.

"Sorry, shopkeepers, I’m late," Lin Yuan apologized with a smile and calmly walked over to Xia Zheng’s side.

Xia Zheng naturally extended his hand to take hers, then with a slight tug, he had her sitting in the chair next to him, looking at her with indulgence, "It’s not that you’re late, they are just too early.

I wasn’t even fully awake yet, and they came to disturb my beautiful dreams. Look, look, have my dark circles gotten worse? "

The other shopkeepers exchanged looks. Showing off their affection in front of so many people, was that really okay?

Lin Yuan was also stunned by Xia Zheng’s blatant disregard for others, and she pinched his hand before withdrawing hers.

With her soft and boneless little hand gone, Xia Zheng hummed discontentedly.

Recognizing the Young Master’s all too familiar behavior as intimidating, the shopkeepers grew restless again.

Their gaze towards Lin Yuan became even more complicated as they finally understood the hints Shopkeeper Liu had given them earlier.

Only the ordinary-looking girl before them seemed able to make the Young Master show such colors.

A shrewd-looking middle-aged man laughed heartily, breaking the stilted atmosphere at the table, and was the first to salute Lin Yuan with a clasped fist: "No wonder Shopkeeper Liu kept praising the Boss. So, it turns out it’s a young girl. This makes us old timers feel rather ashamed."

Xia Zheng raised an eyebrow and squinted his eyes smugly. His woman was no ordinary girl, and in time he would show these old folks that they can’t be so full of themselves.

Lin Yuan shook her head with a smile and uttered two modest words of dissent. The shopkeepers felt a great fondness for her humble and courteous manner.

Shopkeeper Liu rose to his feet and introduced each person’s identity to Lin Yuan: "Boss, the one who just spoke is Shopkeeper Wu from Yecheng, Xiangman Building.

This is Shopkeeper Zheng from Tingan Town, Drunken Full Building, this is Shopkeeper Chen from Nanzhao City, Chunman Building, Shopkeeper Wang from Tea Tree Town, Chaman Building, and this one, is Shopkeeper Guo from Shangshui County, Jiangman Building. "
