Sitting across from John, Luni hurriedly replied, "My lord, this is a bit pricey! It costs a whole lot of gold coins! However, it is quite a bargain considering that the Chamber of Commerce was once backed by powerful nobles. Now that they have fallen, the prices have dropped a bit. Otherwise, they would definitely be higher! But rest assured, that place is really huge, covering at least a thousand square meters! Plus, it has two floors, so the space is very spacious."
Hearing this, John nodded slightly, lifted his wine glass, took a sip, and said slowly, "Oh, I see. That sounds pretty good. Whenever I have some free time, I can go take a look." After saying that, he continued to leisurely savor the fine wine in his glass.
At this moment, Luni quickly asked, "My lord, may I ask which day you will be free? I'm not particularly anxious; it's just that I've heard many people are negotiating with the Chamber of Commerce about that shop. I'm worried that if we don't act quickly..."
Before Luni could finish his sentence, John waved his hand to interrupt him and smiled, "Don't worry; let's finish this meal first. After we eat, I'll go over and take a look."
And so the days passed by. In the blink of an eye, a week had rushed by.
Finally, it was the grand opening day of John's worry-free grocery store. This day was bustling and unprecedentedly lively! Outside, drums and gongs were ringing out, firecrackers were popping off in celebration, bright red banners fluttered in the wind, and the streets were packed with people—truly a sea of faces!
Luni had put in considerable effort for this opening ceremony and had utilized all his connections accumulated in Wutan City. Almost every large Chamber of Commerce sent representatives to congratulate him; the scene was grand and astonishing.
Moreover, John's previous bravery during the war had already spread throughout the city. Even the somewhat diminished White Family sent someone with exquisite gifts to show their support and blessings for John's new store opening.
Redman, as John's older brother, hurried over from Binhai Town upon hearing about his brother's new store opening. When he stepped through the door, he was stunned by the lively atmosphere before him. The entrance was filled with flower baskets and colorful ribbons fluttering in the air; inside was packed with people amidst waves of laughter and joy.
Redman walked over to John and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "John! Look at this grand spectacle outside! Why didn't you tell me sooner? If I had known earlier, I could have helped you organize everything!"
John offered an apologetic smile and explained, "I'm really sorry, big brother. I only bought this place a week ago; most of the items inside were already prepared. It just needed a little tidying up to open up. Time was tight, so I didn't manage to inform you."
Redman laughed heartily: "Haha! So that's how it is! But no worries—since it's opened today, we must celebrate properly! We can't leave until we're drunk tonight; I need to make sure to pour you a few drinks!" He shook his wine glass vigorously as he spoke.
