In fact, there was also some selfish motive behind Li Guancha's apology to Qiao Linxi.

Firstly, he really felt that if he was working in the government office at the time, regardless of whether he could save Qiao Linxi, at least he could plead for her.

Another one, he did it for himself. After he came back from his business trip, he heard about Qiao Linxi's story. Although he didn't know how this little girl could offend the daughter of Governor Qin of Baiyun City, the person who made the county magistrate timid was a big shot.

In order to save her, the big shot threatened Miss Qin with the lives of hundreds of people in Governor Qin's family. This is how the little girl escaped from danger.

It seems that the big shot really cares about this little girl. If he can get to know the big shot through this little girl, maybe his career will be able to move to a higher level.

"Officer Li, don't blame yourself. This was not something that could have been predicted. I didn't know that Miss Qin would suddenly go crazy."

Qiao Linxi didn't want to delay and just wanted to find a suitable shop quickly: "Brother Li, do you think it's convenient here? Can you take me to look for one?"

"I'll just go and tell them." Officer Li went to the inner room, found his leader and explained the situation.

When they heard that Qiao Linxi was coming, the chief officer and the county magistrate who had been absent-minded in the past few days immediately became alert and followed Officer Li out.

After seeing Qiao Linxi, the county magistrate came forward and said, "Miss Qiao..."

Looking at these flattering people, Qiao Linxi felt sick. Most of these people thought that he had a close relationship with Gu Changfeng.

"Miss Qiao, are you looking for a shop to do business? Don't worry, as long as it's a shop you like, I will help you get it done right away."

Qiao Linxi didn't want to take advantage of Gu Changfeng's favor, as it would make her feel uncomfortable. She really didn't want to have anything to do with Gu Changfeng anymore.

Can……

Qiao Linxi felt a little conflicted. Letting the county magistrate flatter her meant that she was taking advantage of Gu Changfeng.

But if she doesn't use this relationship, she might get into trouble with the government.

Damn it, if a person doesn't work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. If you have connections and don't use them, you are a fool.

Qiao Linxi figured it out, and stopped worrying about it. He looked at the county magistrate with a smile and said, "Thank you very much."

"Of course I should." The county magistrate felt that his head was saved because of this girl. Otherwise, given the gentleman's temper, the lives of his family would have been buried with Miss Qin.

"Xiao Li, you must accompany Miss Qiao to look at the shop. You must not make any mistakes, otherwise I will not forgive you."

Qiao Linxi didn't like the twists and turns in officialdom, so he left first.

Zhang Huawei, who was standing next to him, was surprised again when he saw Qiao Linxi enjoying such popularity in the government office. Who on earth was this little girl that could make the lord of a city bow down to her?

"Miss Qiao, what kind of business are you looking for? I can take you to find a suitable one."

"I plan to sell food. As the saying goes, food is the most important thing for people. Besides, the profit from selling food is higher. The repurchase rate is also higher. A person can come to my store to eat three times a day and spend money three times. If I sell other things, I am afraid that the return rate will not be so high."

Officer Li almost nodded: "Indeed, if the taste is good and it has a good reputation, it can make more money than doing anything else, but it is more difficult."

"That's fine. I was born in the countryside. I'm not afraid of hardship or fatigue. Plus, we have a lot of people, so it shouldn't be difficult."

When he thought of Qiao Linxi's group of children, Li Guanchai felt overwhelmed. He admired this little girl so much. A little girl who had not even reached the age of marriage could actually take care of 18 children. Some adult women would think that their contribution was greater than the sky if they took care of two or three children.

"This is the main street. People coming and going from the south and the north pass by here. The flow of people is also large. If you open a restaurant here, maybe business will be good. It's just that this location is too good, and it's hard to find an empty store."

Officer Li introduced as he walked.

Qiao Linxi didn't want to open a snack bar on the main street. The carriages going back and forth would create a lot of dust, which would affect the dining experience. She just wanted to find a quiet place that was not particularly remote.

"As the saying goes, good wine needs no bush. I don't want to open a store on the main street. The rent is expensive and it's too dusty. A place to eat is a place to rest temporarily. It's too noisy with people coming and going."

Officer Li glanced at Qiao Linxi and said, "What kind of shop does Miss Qiao want? There is no place in Lanqing City that I don't know."

Qiao Linxi thought for a moment and said, "I want a location that's not too remote, and has a spacious entrance for easy parking. It would be best if there were other shops nearby, so that when shoppers get tired they will want to go to the store to sit down and have a cup of tea, eat something and take a break."

"Then there's only East Second Street. Come with me, Miss Qiao."

Zhang Huawei followed Qiao Linxi and the others pulling the carriage. He thought this little girl was amazing that she could actually go out and do business.

In the Kingdom of Dai Viet, women are not allowed to leave the house, and there are very few women like her who do business. Given the rigid thinking of this era, I'm afraid it will be difficult for her to follow this path.

After many twists and turns, we soon arrived at East Second Street, which was a little more remote than Main Street, but close to the East City Gate. The street was also wide and had many shops, but it was sparsely populated and not as lively as Main Street.

"There are many shops on this street, such as rouge shops, grain shops, cloth shops, etc. The rent is also cheap. The only drawback is that it is a bit remote and the flow of people is not particularly large."

"It doesn't matter. This is exactly what I want. Brother Li, do you know which store is for rent?"

It is said that it is easier to get things done with someone. This is true. After finding Officer Li, it is much easier to get things done. As soon as Qiao Linxi finished asking questions, Officer Li took her directly to an empty shop. On the door of the shop was a sign saying "Shop for Rent or Sale".

They saw a yamen runner bringing a little girl into the shop, and people in other shops leaned their heads out to look.

"That shop does the little girl want to rent?"

"Maybe."

"Hey, why is that shop so weird? Many merchants came here and there, but none of them could keep it open."

"Who knows? Everyone on our street knows that. I've only been here for over two years, and the shop has had seven or eight different owners."

Qiao Linxi didn't hear the discussion, but looked carefully at the furnishings in the house. This shop is quite large, but it looks like it has not been open for long.

"Brother Li, do you know the owner of this shop? I want to ask how much the rent is. To be honest, I don't have much money right now. If I can meet the owner, I would like him to give me a convenience and pay in installments."
