The female boss of destiny, even villains have to work for me

Chapter 48 Spending a Huge Amount of Money to Renovate the Study

Early the next morning, Liu Xihua hurriedly left the palace.

There are already people queuing up on the street to buy buns.

Liu Xihua was also among them. The hot buns whetted the appetite of the hungry man.

"Old people, I know your concerns. If this store is gone, you will lose your stable source of income. If something happens to your daughter's family, you will have no place to raise money. It's reassuring to have this store." Liu Xihua ate buns while chatting with the two old people.

Unlike the previous times, this time, Liu Xihua's words were responded to: "If you come to make trouble again, I won't sell you these buns in the future!"

Liu Xihua smiled awkwardly and continued to look for an opportunity to speak: "How about this? Let us sell the store and we will pay you fifty taels in one lump sum. Then we will give you dividends every month based on the profits from running the store. It is equivalent to you buying shares in the store instead of selling it completely. How do you think?"

"You two are getting older. If you are not feeling well, the bun shop will not be able to operate normally, and the income will definitely be affected. If we take over this shop, you two will not have to work hard, nor will you be trapped in this shop. You can also go to take care of your daughter's children. Most importantly, you can still make money every month. It's the best of both worlds!"

The two old men looked at each other and their expressions began to relax.

Indeed, they are already overwhelmed.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have hired someone to help me look after the store.

Liu Xihua knew that his words had worked, so he gave them another shot of reassurance: "Don't worry, our Xusheng Restaurant has always been known for its integrity, and our shopkeeper is also a friend of the princess. We will never break our promise. In order to reassure the two elders, we will also sign a contract for you. With the contract, you can come and get the money every month or every year."

Sure enough, the two old men were moved.

"Doctor Liu, is what you said true?"

"Of course, a gentleman's word is as good as his bond. I swear on the reputation of our shopkeeper. If I tell a lie, I will be struck by lightning!" Liu Xihua held up three fingers and swore, "And the monthly dividend will definitely not be lower than the current income of the steamed bun shop. You can rest assured about this. After all, the business of our Xusheng Restaurant will only grow bigger and more prosperous."

"Since Doctor Liu said so, the two of us are indeed a little overwhelmed. This result is very good!" The old man agreed happily.

"Okay, you two elders are straightforward people. Today's buns are especially delicious. I will talk to the shopkeeper later and come to see you with the contract." Liu Xihua stuffed a big mouthful of bun, feeling happy.

This time, Liu Xihua's happiness was not as arrogant and obvious as last time. He just told Du Ran that he needed an advance of fifty taels of silver first. Perhaps the two elders would agree.

"Doctor Liu, I trust you!" Du Ran gave him the money.

"Princess, don't worry!" Liu Xihua said solemnly.

Not long after, Liu Xihua came back with a radiant face and brought back a yellowed store deed.

"Doctor Liu, did you succeed?" Du Ran was very excited.

"Princess, don't be anxious. Let me tell you slowly first!" Liu Xihua tried to keep herself calm, and then recounted the contract between herself and the two elders in detail.

Although it seemed a bit like acting first and asking for permission later, this proposal was within Du Ran's acceptable range. After all, she wanted to buy the other person's store, not intentionally make the two elderly people homeless.

"Doctor Liu, your idea is great!" Du Ran gave Liu Xihua a thumbs up: "Otherwise I would say you have a good brain!"

Yu Chengfeng glanced at Liu Xihua, and the two looked at each other. Yu Chengfeng just nodded slightly and didn't say anything.

"Doctor Liu, these twenty taels are what you deserve!" Du Ran also took out a bag of silver from under the counter and placed it in front of Liu Xihua.

Liu Xihua was flattered and stepped back repeatedly: "Princess, I caused you to lose more than a hundred taels. It is my duty to negotiate this shop. I really dare not accept these twenty taels!"

But Liu Xihua has already glanced at the money bag at least ten times. No one can resist the charm of money!

"Doctor Liu, just accept it! It wasn't your fault that we were cheated of our money. With this shop, we can make back the lost money in minutes!" Du Ran was very confident about this.

Liu Xihua took the purse with a smile and gave herself a way out: "Then I will obey your command. Thank you, Princess!"

"Liu Xihua, do you really want it?" Xu Bingxia looked at Liu Xihua with contempt in her eyes.

Liu Xihua put the money bag in his pocket and pretended to be entangled, "I have no choice. The princess insisted on giving it to me. If I don't accept it, wouldn't it be a loss of face for her?"

"You are so good, you are so shameless!" Xu Bingxia was speechless to him.

Now that the shop has been really bought, I can finally start renovating the winery.

Du Ran could finally relax and see how he could sell some things in the palace to make up for the losses he had suffered.

"Hey, what a shabby state this study has become. This was the prince's favorite study. How could it become like this? We are not worthy of the late prince!" Du Ran said with great sorrow, pointing at the study with the door removed.

Confused, Liu Xihua responded in confusion: "Your Highness Princess is right!"

Ever since the princess did not blame him and gave him twenty taels of silver, Liu Xihua felt that whatever Du Ran said was right!

Yu Chengfeng was even happier: "Ran Ran, I knew that you still have feelings for Meng Yuan!"

Du Ran was speechless. She had never even met Meng Yuan, so how could she have any feelings for him? Even if she had feelings for Meng Yuan, why would Yu Chengfeng be so happy?

But Du Ran still nodded: "Of course, after all, I am the princess, how can I not have feelings for the prince? If I didn't have feelings, how could I enter the palace and become the princess?"

"Ran Ran..." Yu Chengfeng wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Du Ran: "So, I plan to spend a lot of money to renovate the study to express my remembrance of Prince Meng Yuan!"

Fang Rong, who was standing aside, seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"Ever since I came to the palace, I have attached great importance to public opinion! Therefore, for such a big matter, of course I have to get everyone's consent. So, everyone, is there anyone who disagrees with renovating the study?" Du Ran said as he looked around, paying special attention to Fang Rong.

"In that case, it is passed unanimously!" Du Ran solemnly announced: "Tomorrow, I will find the most capable decorator in the entire Yuecheng, and use the best materials to build a luxurious study!"

Fang Rong was so angry that her eyes almost popped out. Du Ran had already destroyed the study and now he was going to spend a huge amount of money to renovate it. He must have other intentions, but she had already elevated the renovation of the study to the level of commemorating Meng Yuan. If she didn't agree with him, she would be accused of disrespect again.

But this operation would definitely cost a lot of money. The palace was already short of money, and now... wouldn't it have to be emptied?! Thinking of this, Fang Rong was so angry that she trembled all over.
