This Clear Sky Restaurant was owned by the empress dowager's little sister, and was passed down to the grandchildren, as well as being an alliance with the royal family's princess Ming Zhu. It could be considered as having a huge backing, but it was a place to eat and drink.
However, Clear Sky Restaurant was located near a small street. Normally, very few people would pass by, but the place was packed every day.
After all, how could business people not like to socialize? Even if they came here to drink tea, as long as they met a noble person to negotiate a good deal, their future would be limitless.
With Young Master Yun's status, it was understandable that Gu Danyan was here today with a guard.
The waiter in the room was also dressed in luxurious clothing. He looked at the jade on Gu Danyan's waist and immediately smiled: "Young master, this way please, are you here today to listen or to eat and play?"
"Just find a seat, where are all these rules?" Gu Daiyan raised his eyebrows. He looked rather domineering.
The waiter here didn't eat hard stuff, and the harder he was, the deeper his background was, not to mention that this piece of jade was priceless. Thinking of where the Eldest Young Master came from, he quickly brought him to a slightly deeper place.
He had originally wanted to let Duan Chengrui sit down, but Duan Chengrui lightly touched her back and looked at a certain place, "Meng Xu's elder brother is also here, be careful."
He looked over and saw a young man in a gray robe sitting not far away, drinking wine with two girls. He looked very charming, but his eyes were unusually quiet. Those two girls seemed to be smart people, and they had smiles on their faces as they chatted about business matters.
Gu Danyan quickly ordered some dishes and gave some silver to the waiter: "I'm Sky Flame, I want to discuss some business with the hospital."
The waiter's eyes lit up, "Young master, you have come today in the right way. The young master next door is talking about the hospital's business. However, the two ladies don't think that the hospital will make any money. That young master is still talking about it."
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Meng Xu's elder brother.
Gu Liuyan couldn't remember Brother Meng Xu's name, but the waiter beside her quickly said, "This Young Master is Master Meng's brother. His name is Meng Shu, and he's a clever man. If Young Master Yun is willing …"
Gu Danyan stuffed some more silver and the waiter walked over to Meng Shu's side with a smile. He placed a pot of wine on the table and said, "Young Master Meng, this is Young Master Yun from that table. He wants to talk about business."
The two girls looked at each other and left, as if they didn't care about the infirmary.
Meng Shu, on the other hand, carefully sized up Gu Pingyan. He was surprised that the man had a round face and his body was extremely thin. However, his bearing was extraordinary and he did not put on any airs. He walked over and sat down.
The two of them glanced at each other, and Duan Chengrui felt a little guilty, while Gu Danyan began to talk business in a proper manner. However, after a while, the two started to get friendly, and Gu Dainan fished out a note worth five hundred silver taels and placed it on the table. "Since Young Master Meng is doing this for the sake of the clinic, I am willing to give you money.
"Young Master Yun is modest. The infirmary that you have opened is only the infirmary set up by my uncle. If you really want to settle in the Heavenly Flame, we can work together. I don't have the right to take this money." Meng Shu narrowed his eyes.
Gu Danyan also smiled and said: "Of course it's your turn to take it. I have to trouble young master to find out some things for me. If you ask me properly, it will be beneficial to my lord Meng's career."
Meng Shu paused for a moment before he asked curiously, "Young Master Yun is not from here …"
"But my surname is Yun." Gu Danyan's eyes lit up. Under Meng Shu's gaze, Gu Daiyan had already written a single word on the table — Jing.
Seeing this, Meng Shu was slightly surprised. "You are …"
Duan Chengrui was shocked as well. He didn't know why Gu Tinyan trusted Meng Shu so much, but the two of them had never met.
"It's good that you know this. Please tell your brother that I'm doing very well. I hope that the infirmary will accept my money so that I can help expand the store." As he said this, Gu Danyan handed over two thousand taels of silver to Meng Shu.
At this moment, quite a few people had already looked over. This business negotiation was going well, why did he casually take out so many silver taels? It was truly inconceivable.
Meng Shu nodded as he accepted it. He then asked softly, "What do you want me to ask about?"
Gu Danyan took a pen and ink, wrote down everything he needed to investigate, and stuffed it into Meng Shu's hands.
Meng Shu looked at her for a bit and understood the seriousness of the situation. He pretended to thank her and quickly left.
Duan Chengrui was also pulled down by Gu Mingyan and sat down. "Meng Xu isn't on my side, aren't you afraid of him …"
"Meng Xu is a loyal subject and a virtuous subject. That is enough." Gu Danyan looked at him helplessly and frowned: "You don't have to say that this official is ours. As long as the person on the board is neutral, he can be used. Only then can you truly see the situation clearly."
Duan Chengrui disagreed. "But if anyone knows your identity."
"I can't bear to let go of a child. Your Highness, you don't have to worry so much about me." Gu Danyan narrowed his eyes.
Duan Chengrui truly cared too much about her.
Being stared at in such a manner caused Duan Chengrui to feel that he had made a mistake in his panic. He had clearly only missed Gu Danyan from time to time when she was still in the King's Manor, but now that Gu Danyan was in his hands, he could not help but want to be concerned and get close to her.
He coughed a few times, feeling embarrassed.
Just when Duan Chenrui wanted to continue speaking, Gu Danyan suddenly stood up. The tea by the table sprinkled onto his clothes, and the gaze he used to look at Duan Chengrui turned cold: "You shouldn't have taken care of that time, why didn't you go to a clothing store and bring the clothes over?"
Duan Chengrui quickly and respectfully stood up, lowering his head.
Because they all saw a figure at the door — — Duan Chengxuan.
Although the imperial family wasn't allowed to enter this place, Duan Chengxuan and the Princess Ming Zhu seemed to have a pretty good relationship with each other, and they did indeed come here from time to time to reminisce. However, he didn't expect to meet at this critical juncture and saw that he had already walked in.
When the waiter at the side heard the commotion, he hurried over and said, "Young master, let me help you clean up. Why don't you go up and change your clothes …"
"There's no need for that. I've just arrived today and my luggage hasn't arrived yet. Kid, why aren't you quickly buying a set from the clothing store and sending it to my inn." Gu Danyan's face was filled with impatience as he quickly walked out.
Duan Chengrui intentionally avoided Duan Chengxuan's side and stood at the other side of Gu Liu Yan, continuously apologizing with a low voice, with an appearance that was completely subservient.
Gu Danyan was still impatient.
Duan Chengxuan, who was at the entrance, had already taken off his official uniform and was wearing a dark blue long gown. This was the first time he had seen Clear Sky Tower so noisy.
