Unlimited estates for rural beauty-Chapter 144 Outing (2)

"Why are you standing here? Madam Wang, is there something you need?" Zhao Peng saw his wife and the old woman standing in the hallway and asked Madam Wang as he came out.

Madam Wang lifted her eyes to glance at the lady of the house, was about to speak but was interrupted by someone behind her.

"Boss Zhao, our young lady invites you to step out for a chat." After the maid and her mistress had waited outside for a moment without seeing Zhao Peng, Feng Xuxu sent Baihe to pass on the message, inviting Zhao Peng to meet at the Temple of the Wealth God just outside the town.

Zhao Peng, seeing that it was a maid from Miss Feng’s side, was puzzled, yet he rose to his feet and followed Baihe out of the residence to meet.

"Master..." When Mrs. Liao saw that her husband was leaving the house late at night with a young lady, the grievance in her heart instantly turned into tears.

"Mrs. Liao, what is this? I’m going to see an old acquaintance. You go back to your room, I’ll be back shortly." He then turned around and left the residence through the back gate with Baihe.

"Lady Baihe, do you know why Miss Feng is looking for me?" he asked, feeling uneasy, hoping it wasn’t too late to back out.

Seeing Zhao Peng’s pale complexion, Baihe kindly reassured him, "Miss won’t go back on her decisions, you can rest easy."

The two of them hurried to the Temple of the Wealth God and found Feng Xuxu sitting there with her eyes closed, meditating. Approaching, Zhao Peng said, "Miss Feng, having asked me to come here tonight, what is it about..."

Feng Xuxu opened her eyes, glanced at Baihe, who then left to guard the door for her mistress.

"What do you plan to do next?" Feng Xuxu stood up, came over to face Zhao Peng, and stared at him intensively.

"We plan to go back to our hometown and start anew." After going back, Zhao Peng had thought it over repeatedly. Even if his brother hadn’t added poison, his restaurant would have closed down anyway.

"Do you hate me?" she asked.

Zhao Peng paused for a moment then shook his head with a smile, "Miss Feng, how can I? Silver is but an external possession, if it’s gone, it can be earned again. But I only have one brother."

Hearing this, Feng Xuxu pressed her lips together and smiled, "Take a look at this!" She pulled out a piece of paper from her sleeve and handed it to Zhao Peng, who after reading it, praised with admiration, "I had no idea Miss Feng was so talented. I am impressed."

"Talent aside, I just want to hear your opinion," Feng Xuxu shook her head, still eager to hear Zhao Peng’s thoughts.

After pondering for a moment, Zhao Peng said, "I think this plan is very good. The only inconvenience is that transporting vegetables in the winter could be troublesome, which would increase costs."

Feng Xuxu gave him a thumbs up appreciatively, "It turns out Boss Zhao also has hidden depths."

"You’re too modest, Miss Feng," Zhao Peng said, embarrassed, waving his hand dismissively.

"Take a look at this," Feng Xuxu then handed him several more papers.

"Hahaha, I never would have guessed. Miss Feng, you also have hidden depths," he realized after reading that Miss Feng had an exceptionally meticulous mind.

"What do you think? Are you interested?" she asked.

"Yes, very interested. It’s just that I..." Zhao Peng stuttered, his face turning red.

"This is your share of the profits. You don’t need to contribute any silver. Each year, I will give you thirty percent of the net profits." Zhao Peng took the partnership contract and read it carefully. Without putting in any silver, he would receive thirty percent of the profits. He would only need to manage the normal operations of the restaurant, as Miss Feng had other arrangements for the kitchen. It seemed like a very good deal, no matter how he thought about it.

"Alright, Miss Feng, I will sign this contract," Zhao Peng agreed readily.

"But make sure you understand, this is a ten-year contract. If you breach it, you will owe me quite a bit of silver."

"Rest assured, Miss Feng. I’m definitely on board with you. Not just for ten years, but all the way until old age, no problem."
