My Wife is A Sword God

Chapter 98: The Behind-the-Scenes Boss of Moonlit Pavilion

The next day, after having breakfast, Qin Feng met with Ya’an and others. After a brief greeting, Ya’an inquired about Qiyuan City’s situation.

Qin Feng didn’t hide anything and briefly recounted the events. However, the narration took less than one-tenth of the time compared to last night.

After hearing it, Ya’an nodded slightly, “Not bad, you didn’t embarrass us scholars.”

Qin Feng glanced at him sideways, thinking, “Why do you talk so arrogantly? Is there a mine at home?”

Oh, you are the young master of Gathering Treasure Pavilion in Yulin City. That’s alright then.

“By the way, I want to discuss cooperation with you. Are you interested?” Qin Feng asked.

“Cooperation?” Ya’an pondered for a moment and said, “Do you want to open a medical clinic with me?”

Qin Feng shook his head, “Not a medical clinic, but a restaurant! Behind you is Gathering Treasure Pavilion, with a wide network of contacts. I have always had an idea, that is to expand the restaurant to the major heavenly cities and make a name for ourselves. Currently, I have a foothold in Qiyuan City, but there are many details I want to discuss with you. After all, you are well-connected. You can rest assured, in the future, when the restaurant expands, in terms of profit distribution…”

“Hold on,” Ya’an interrupted, “Doing business also requires intelligence. Although you saved my life, I can’t cooperate with you just because of that. Moreover, since you are accomplished in medicine, why not stick to it instead of getting involved in other things? With your distracted mindset, how can you reach the peak in any field?”

Heh, you say these things just because you don’t understand my strength.

Thinking like this, Qin Feng said again, “Words alone are not enough. How about this, Brother Ya’an, at noon, I’ll take you to a place. After you experience it firsthand, you might change your mind.”

Ya’an frowned slightly, wondering how to reason with this person who just couldn’t understand.

At this moment, Wang Xu hurriedly approached Ya’an and whispered a few words.

Upon hearing this, Ya’an immediately said, “I understand. Go back and tell him that I will definitely be on time.”

After speaking, she glanced at Qin Feng, “I won’t be having lunch at the Qin residence today. You can tell the kitchen not to prepare our portion. As for what you said earlier… heh.”

A single “heh” revealed her disdain. She had already given her answer, then turned and left.

Qin Feng opened his mouth, stunned on the spot. After a while, he reacted, “This is clearly my home. Why does she talk as if I’m a guest?”

“Never mind, she won’t leave the Qin residence for a short time. Let’s take this slowly.”

After a while, a waiter from Moonlit Pavilion rushed to the Qin residence. Upon learning that the young master had returned, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Guided by the servants of the mansion, the waiter soon saw Qin Feng.

“What’s the matter?” Qin Feng looked at the panting figure curiously.

“Reporting to the young master, the auction for the Drunken Immortal ended yesterday.”

Qin Feng, upon hearing this, pondered for a moment. Too many things had happened recently, and he was almost forgetting about this matter.

However, given Manager Peng’s abilities, even if he wasn’t present, the auction should have proceeded smoothly.

“Yeah, I understand. How much did it sell for?” Qin Feng asked.

The waiter excitedly replied, “It sold for a whopping two thousand taels of silver.”

“Two thousand taels?” This surprised Qin Feng. According to his original analysis, given the consumption capacity of Jinyang City, it was expected to fetch at most a thousand taels.

“Wow, who is the lucky buyer?” Qin Feng asked.

The waiter shook his head, “It’s a handsome young man in white. I’ve never seen him before.”

Handsome, young man in white? Qin Feng’s expression turned strange. “Did he have anyone with him?”

“Yes, two middle-aged guards. One in a tall, thin gray robe, the other sturdy,” the waiter replied.

Qin Feng raised an eyebrow. Those two were clearly Mo Lintian and Wang Xu. It seemed that the white-clad young man was most likely Ya’an.

“It was sold too cheap,” Qin Feng said regretfully. With Ya’an’s status, she could have made a fortune by reselling it!

“What?” The waiter was puzzled. Selling a jug of wine for two thousand taels and still saying it’s cheap, he couldn’t understand the young master’s thoughts.

“Well, did you come here just to tell me about the auction?” Qin Feng asked.

“Yes, after the young man in white bought the wine last night, he sent someone to find Manager Peng. They want to discuss cooperation. Peng didn’t refuse, but since you weren’t back, he couldn’t make a decision, so he had to delay it. This morning, the young man’s guards came to the inn again, and Peng had to agree for now. He sent me to check if you were back,” the waiter explained.

“Oh, really?” Qin Feng found it somewhat amusing. After all, that guy still wanted to cooperate with him.

“Young master, should we agree to the cooperation, or should I tell Peng to send them away?” the waiter asked.

“Go, we’ll definitely go.” Qin Feng agreed immediately. “When is the appointment?”

“At one o’clock in the afternoon.”

“I got it. You can go back first. I’ll be there on time.”

Qin Feng was a bit impatient. He really wanted to see Ya’an’s expression when she found out about the true identity of the boss behind the Moonlit Pavilion.

At noon, Ya’an and the others arrived as scheduled. Led by Manager Peng, they entered the restaurant.

As they climbed the stairs, Ya’an glanced around. All three floors were packed, and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves.

Business at the Moonlit  Pavilion was indeed extraordinary. It seemed that the person behind the scenes was capable. Ya’an couldn’t help but think about whether she could recruit him.

Manager Peng led the three to the third floor and opened the door to a luxurious private room. If Manager Peng hadn’t reserved this room in advance, the third floor would surely have been full as well.

Ya’an took her seat, but she noticed that Manager Peng was still standing. Curiosity got the better of her, and she couldn’t help but ask, “Manager Peng, didn’t we agree to discuss the collaboration first, and then, when your boss returns, he can be informed? Why aren’t you sitting?”

Manager Peng respectfully replied, “Our young master has already returned. Naturally, he will personally talk to you, sir, about this collaboration.”

Young master? A look of curiosity appeared on Ya’an’s face. She had assumed that someone capable of running the restaurant so successfully would be a middle-aged person familiar with business practices, but it seemed she was mistaken.

Wait a moment, restaurant, young master.

In Ya’an’s beautiful and bright eyes, the pupils slightly widened as an absurd guess emerged in her mind.

“No, it can’t be. I must be overthinking it.” Ya’an shook her head.

Just then, the door to the private room opened, and Qin Feng walked in with a smile, “Sorry, I’m a bit late. Ya’an, you won’t blame me, will you?”
