Chapter 89: Proposing a Big Deal
Jinrong believed his judgment to be correct, and he asked Qi Younian, "Is it because your family lacks capital that you have turned a perfectly good business into what it is now?"
Qi Younian paused and didn’t know how to answer Jinrong’s question. It was an obvious fact, wasn’t it? The food concocted by his granddaughter was definitely fit for the table. Haven’t you seen how many dishes Great Crane House, that large restaurant, orders from our little shop every day?
It was precisely because of the lack of capital that they had turned the little shop’s business into such an embarrassment.
Jinrong, seeing Qi Younian’s hesitant appearance, knew his estimate was not far off, and turned to the cold-faced Jiang Yifan, saying, "Sixth Master, I really can’t bear to watch a perfectly good business be ruined by your family. So, I’m willing to lend your family some silver. Take over the two stores next door, spruce them up a bit, and make a good go of it. What do you think?"
Qi Younian’s eyes widened in shock, staring blankly at Jinrong. What was this situation? His Highness Prince Yu was taking the initiative to lend silver to his family; was it because of Ye Zi’s original status?
He slowly shifted his gaze towards Jiang Yifan, the former husband of Ye Zi. Nanny Jin said that Lord Jiang’s family background was not bad, considered to be a prestigious clan in the area. And at that moment, Lord Jiang was giving him and his granddaughter the cold shoulder with an icy face and silence, making it clear that he had no regard for Qi Younian’s family.
This this this... How was he supposed to respond?
Jinrong glanced at Jiang Yifan and said to Qi Younian, "Old man, don’t overthink it. Actually, it’s nothing much—just a small amount of money. Using a little money to help a business with potential, and watch it grow... I am still more than happy to see that happen."
