The man put away his umbrella and placed it to one side, then walked to a table and made a gesture to Shen Qinglan, inviting her to sit first.
Shen Qinglan also put away her umbrella and sat down opposite the man.
The man said, "My surname is Ji, and I'm the owner of this restaurant. May I ask what your surname is, miss?"
"Shen."
"So, it's Miss Shen." The man nodded and said, "Why did you think of taking over this place?"
Shen Qinglan slightly curled her lips and said, "Naturally for business. Mr. Ji, why don't you name a price?"
The man was taken aback but then smiled and said, "I didn't expect such straightforwardness from you, miss."
After speaking, the man put away his smile, looked around cheerfully, and sighed slightly, "When this restaurant first opened, business was great because my wife is skilled, her brewed wine is tasty, and the food she makes is good too. It's not more expensive than other restaurants, so everyone likes to come here to eat."
