Chapter 345 Grand Opening Banquet (4)_1
"Mr. Meng?" Lin Yuan was surprised by Mo Sanniang’s response when she brought up this topic, having thought Lin Wei was asking about Meng Liangdong’s performance today. After thinking for a bit, Mo Sanniang said, "Well, he seems quite learned, but when it comes to doing business, he’s really not cut out for it. He almost got himself tangled up just calculating an account today. However, he is very eager to learn; whenever there’s something he doesn’t know, he asks straight away, no matter whether you’re educated or not. And, his mind is quite sharp. I just taught him how to keep the books once, and he got the hang of it right away—he didn’t need me to explain a second time."
Hearing Mo Sanniang’s words, Lin Yuan’s face nearly turned dark. She wasn’t asking whether he was good or not, but what Mo Sanniang’s impression of Meng Liangdong was like, what kind of person he was; and if she were to start a new relationship, whether she would be willing to choose someone like Meng Liangdong.
But obviously, Mo Sanniang had misunderstood her intention.
However, it was perhaps for the better that she had mistaken her meaning, considering that Mo Sanniang had truly interacted with Meng Liangdong for just one day today. Although their shops faced each other, it seemed they had never spoken to each other before.
There’s no need to even speak of Meng Liangdong’s blockhead; all day long, besides reading books, he was reading books, paying no attention to his own business, let alone women.
Thinking that matters of the heart couldn’t be rushed, Lin Yuan stopped inquiring further. After saying goodbye to Mo Sanniang, she quickly left and got into the carriage to go to Fuman Building.
Lin Ershuan and his wife hadn’t planned on coming, but they couldn’t resist Lady Liu’s enthusiasm, who insisted they not go back. She also sent Liuzi to the next street over to bring their aunt’s grandchildren and Old Iron Head with his son to Fuman Building.
Lin Yi, driving the carriage, arrived at the entrance of Fuman Building with a few others. Shopkeeper Liu was already waiting at the door to welcome them, while Liuzi, worried that his aunt and the others would feel out of place, had already taken them upstairs to the elegant room to sit.
