Chapter 265: Profit
But Gu Nian couldn’t feel at ease at all.
If she couldn’t return to the modern world, her current life was also quite good for her, and now that Gu Bei was a young master of Prince Zhenbei’s Mansion, he certainly wouldn’t give up his current identity.
If he returned, he would surely not let her stay with the Lin Family.
There are many disputes in the high society’s inner quarters. In this little world, she can still rely on her space and wisdom beyond her peers to live freely, but once there, facing the future life, who knows what will happen.
At the very least, for now, she doesn’t want to change the status quo.
On the last day of the twelfth lunar month, Zheng Shaochen arrived by carriage, and as soon as he dismounted, he burst in with a group of people, full of excitement.
"Gu Nian, you brat, come out quickly..."
Hundred Flavors Inn had already closed its doors two days earlier to prepare for the New Year, so everyone in the family was at home.
Lin Sanshui came out of the house with Dahu, "Hey, Mr. Zheng is here, please come in and have a seat..."
"No need, I’m here to find Gu Nian, where is she?" Zheng Shaochen still had the same flamboyant and domineering nature as before.
Gu Nian, who had wrapped herself into a bundle early on, came out of the house, holding a small hand warmer, "What are you calling me for? Ready for a fight?"
Zheng Shaochen’s proud face instantly transformed into a broad smile, "Of course not, I’m here to bring you good news, let’s go in first and I’ll tell you!"
Saying that, Zheng Shaochen headed straight into Gu Nian’s room.
Gu Nian didn’t stop him; after all, she received an open upbringing and was young, so the Lin couple didn’t stop them either, just looked at each other in curiosity, unsure what Zheng Shaochen was up to at this moment.
After entering the room, Gu Nian saw Zheng Shaochen already seated, so she casually picked up the warm kettle from the table, poured him a cup, and sat down before asking, "Now can you tell me? What’s the rush?"
Zheng Shaochen leisurely drank the tea, and only after building enough suspense did he pat the wooden box beside him and said, "Guess what’s this?"
Gu Nian raised an eyebrow, "Alright, stop being mysterious, I’m not in the mood to play guessing games with you."
Zheng Shaochen put away his smile and looked at her with dissatisfaction, "You little girl are really boring, I don’t know why my cousin is so unique towards you!"
At the mention of Nan Jin Yu, Gu Nian suddenly fell silent, her expression became gloomy.
Zheng Shaochen was too immersed in his own excitement to notice Gu Nian’s unusual behavior.
He opened the wooden box beside him on his own, and with a swift motion, took out a stack of account books, placing them in front of Gu Nian with a smile, "Take a look at these!"
Gu Nian accepted the account books with a slight hint of curiosity and then heard Zheng Shaochen ask, "By the way, can you understand these?"
Although Gu Nian learned to read with Nan Jin Yu for a while, she hadn’t undergone systematic study, and after all, account books are complex things, not everyone can understand them!
Gu Nian glared at him without speaking and began to leaf through the pages casually.
Soon after, she became suddenly serious.
Zheng Shaochen had brought the account books of two other franchise stores of Hundred Flavors Inn for the past month, several thick books, which Gu Nian didn’t have time to go through thoroughly, so she directly flipped to the last pages to look at the amounts.
What she saw startled her.
The total profit amount from these account books reached over two hundred thousand silver taels!
The Hundred Flavors Inn in Qingshan Town had been open for just a month or two, and the profit hadn’t even reached twenty thousand taels.
Gu Nian looked up, shocked, at Zheng Shaochen, waiting for his explanation.
