Super Soldier in the City

Chapter 1865 - 1927: Opening a Shop Together

Therefore, the attitude mustn’t be lacking, otherwise it’s a dead-end, Bai Tianpeng understands this well.Li Yifei also doesn’t insist, stating his attitude in one sentence is enough; saying more might make Bai Tianpeng anxious.

Those people were dragged away, and soon the front of the shop was quiet again, as if nothing had happened. After comforting the shop owner couple, Li Yifei and his group were ready to leave, as for Bai Tianpeng, he had things to do and was preparing to leave once the situation was handled.

However, just as they were about to head out, the shop owner couple called out to them. The shopkeeper lady exchanged a glance with her husband, and it seemed they had something to say.

"Auntie, don’t worry, those people definitely won’t come back. We can guarantee it, and if they do, you can call me." Bai He thought they were not reassured, so he spoke up. Bai Tianpeng also chimed in timely, "Exactly, they absolutely won’t dare to come back."

"Yes, Auntie, you can trust Bai He’s dad on this. With him handling this matter, those people definitely won’t come back." Song Lianyao added, "You just go on comfortable running your shop, we’ll definitely keep coming back for food."

"It’s not about that..." The shopkeeper lady glanced at her husband, deciding to speak up, "I want to ask if any of you are interested in running a shop; I’m planning to sell the shop."

"Ah?" Everyone was surprised, looking at the shop owner couple. The shopkeeper’s husband then said, "After this incident, we have also decided on it. Plus, we’re getting older and lacking energy, being busy from morning till night. It’s joyful but also tiring, her health is also not very good, so we’ve simply decided to sell it this time!"

"But..." Song Lianyao looked outside and said, "Had you mentioned it earlier, we wouldn’t have made such a commotion, now those people have been taken away."

The shopkeeper lady smiled and said, "Silly girl, we wouldn’t sell the shop to them anyway. My husband and I have decided that if any of you three want to run the shop, we’d sell it to them."

"This... Auntie, we definitely don’t have that intention; helping you was just because the food here is really delicious, and also we couldn’t stand their actions, please don’t misunderstand!"

"Of course, we wouldn’t misunderstand. Speaking of, we’ve known each other for years, you’re all so great, selling the shop to you all puts us at ease."

Song Lianyao quickly looked to Li Yifei, Yin Feng’er also looked at Qin Muchu, regarding Bai He, she also looked at Li Yifei, Bai Tianpeng similarly looked at Li Yifei, after all, he is the core of this group.

The shopkeeper lady feared they might not understand, so she further explained, "This time the secret recipe comes with the shop. We have no children to inherit it, originally planning to take it to the grave, but after this incident, I realized these recipes were meant to make others happy, if we took them then there wouldn’t be these delicious dishes anymore, and you wouldn’t be able to enjoy them."

The shopkeeper’s husband followed, "Yes, I support my wife. If you want to buy, the recipes are included, free of charge, just at the price that group offered, fifteen thousand!"

The old man who had been drinking quite a bit with Li Yifei and Qin Muchu, had a flushed face and a bit of a slurred speech, but his mind was clear, he also figured out some things.

The three women completely didn’t expect this outcome, looking at the shopkeeper lady, she indeed seemed to want to sell the shop to them. However, one needs to care for a child at home, one just graduated, as for Yin Feng’er, she is idle but hadn’t considered becoming a restaurant owner.

Li Yifei spoke at this moment, he said, "Here’s the plan, I’ll buy the shop, but Auntie and Uncle don’t need to go home, we’ll find a bigger location, expand this shop. These delicious dishes will surely be a hit, so it needs to be a large store with upstairs and downstairs. As for you three, since you all love the food here, why don’t you invest in shares, Auntie will contribute technically, you three with money, future profits will be divided into four parts, one share each."

As Li Yifei spoke, the three women’s eyes lit up, and the most enthusiastic was Yin Feng’er, she could afford the investment, given the current situation, even if she asked Qin Muchu for a million, he probably wouldn’t hesitate, it’s through Yin Feng’er that he keeps connecting with Li Yifei and the others.

Similarly, upon hearing Li Yifei’s suggestion, Qin Muchu was equally enthusiastic, he quickly said, "I can look for a location, aim to settle it quickly, then proceed with renovations and open as soon as possible!"

"Haha, no need to look for a location, I have a few storefronts in the city center, originally intended for dining, it just needs a minor modification to start." Bai Tianpeng added.

"That’s good!" Li Yifei nodded, then turned to the shop owner couple and asked, "Auntie, Uncle, is this okay?"

The elderly couple had decided to sell the shop to these three girls, feeling somewhat disheartened after being disturbed by Liu Hao and others, but didn’t expect Li Yifei to propose this condition, hesitated and said, "No need to trouble yourselves, we’ll directly sell it to you, we’re assured."

Song Lianyao persuaded, "Auntie, follow Yifei’s advice, we’ll invest, you and Uncle as technical partners, as you can see, we actually want to eat these delicious dishes even more, don’t want to miss out in the future, so having a shop is good, relocating allows more people to enjoy."

Yin Feng’er and Bai He also nodded in agreement, "Right, just the thought of not having these delicious dishes in the future makes me unhappy, so having a shop is good, then we can hire some people, you two won’t have to work so hard."

Seeing all three women persuading, seemingly influential figures like Li Yifei and Bai He’s father also agreed, the elderly couple no longer insisted, made the decision, and Song Lianyao drafted a contract on the spot, two copies, and signed with the shop owner couple.

The shop owner couple naturally said no need to sign, trusting them, but Song Lianyao insisted, she wasn’t concerned about such small money, the other two women were the same, but still felt having a contract was better.

Once the contract was signed, they sat for a while longer, agreed to meet next week, and Li Yifei and his group gradually left.

In the car, it was still Song Lianyao driving, with Li Yifei in the passenger seat. Song Lianyao hesitated several times but held back. As they neared home, Li Yifei opened his eyes and turned to ask, "What’s up, wife?"

"Just feeling today’s matter, although resolved, didn’t feel too happy." Song Lianyao parked the car and said.

"Haha, we can’t help everyone, can only intervene when encountered, don’t let it affect your mood!" Li Yifei consoled, reaching over to pinch Song Lianyao’s cheek, and smiled, "Your husband works hard to grow stronger so you won’t be bullied, when bullied you can strike back fiercely, and after striking there’s no need to worry about consequences, also daring to meddle in such matters when encountered!"

Song Lianyao sniffed, pecked Li Yifei’s hand with her little mouth, smiled sweetly, then said, "My husband is the best, I’m not feeling too unhappy, just a bit uncomfortable, all better now, husband, let’s go upstairs."

"Alright, let’s get out."

Two days later, Li Yifei returned to Mile City alone, leaving Song Lianyao and the child in Ying City to stay with Father Song and Mother Song for a few more days, the elderly couple exceedingly fond of the child, missing whenever out of sight, so Li Yifei couldn’t let Song Lianyao go home. Besides, she still needed to handle the new shop matters, wishing to busy herself, Li Yifei would certainly support her, moreover, those dishes really tasted wonderful, worthy of promotion.

Song Lianyao asked Li Yifei to send word to the sisters at home, when she returns she’ll definitely cook a meal for everyone to taste.

On the phone, upon hearing about this, Su Mengxin and the others also encouraged Song Lianyao, telling her not to worry, go for it, thinking these women assumed Song Lianyao was preparing to venture into business.

On the last day in Ying City, Li Yifei went to see Elder Su again, arranging once back home when Su Mengxin’s grandfather had free time, he’d go to Changbai Mountain to join them, to treat his internal injury.

This internal injury would take months to heal with normal cultivation and recovery, but presently many things weren’t normal, Li Yifei felt he should recover quickly, at least if someone dared to target him, he could make the opponent pay.

However, those aware of his injury were few, aside from family, only Murong Yuanqing, Su Tianhai and a few others knew, driving, Li Yifei’s brow occasionally furrowed and relaxed, indeed a knot in his heart, also wanted to test things through this occasion.

It’s something Su Mengxin and the others haven’t figured out for a long time, having faced several perilous situations before where enemies seemingly knew his whereabouts in advance. Li Yifei suspected many people, including even the closest ones.

Although nothing was ultimately found, and many were cleared of suspicion, Li Yifei still believed there’s someone lurking in the shadows, in case they suddenly attack one day, causing large consequences, it’d drive him mad.

Thus, he really wanted to test this time if someone knew he was injured, devoid of inner strength, with skills barely similar to his past self, able to handle a gang of hooligans, but facing true experts, it’d be dangerous.

Yet, there were many joyful things to anticipate; thinking about soon meeting his beloved wives made him feel great.

The car arrived home, Li Yifei parked, got out and saw Na Yi, smiling and walking over to greet her. Na Yi didn’t expect Li Yifei to return today, equally happy, with wide eyes she approached, smiling sweetly at Li Yifei.

"Yifei, you’re back! Perfect timing, look what Xiaowu brought back!" Na Yi said, gesturing towards the distant flower bushes, calling, "Xiaowu, come over quickly."

Li Yifei looked over curiously, seeing Xiaowu perched on a gigantic flower, seemingly sucking nectar.
