CH 36.6

Wu Wei’an looked a little tired: “Otherwise, let’s buy the first one.”

Ji Yunxi looked at him: “But I like it here.”

Wu Wei’an sighed lightly.

Who doesn’t like it? He likes it too.

Of course, the more expensive the better. He understands this truth.

Ji Yunxi stretched out her hand and gently touched the rose petals with her fingertips. After thinking for a moment, she said: “I will pay the two thousand taels, and you will pay the ten thousand taels.”

Wu Wei’an did not hesitate at all, and said with a righteous face: “Alright.”

Time passed day by day, and soon it was April.

On this day, Ji Mingxi’s letter to Ji Mingyuan also arrived.

Ji Mingyuan was in retreat, and when his senior brother from the same division was delivering food to him, he also stuffed the letter through the small hole.

On the third day of April, the temperature is neither hot nor cold, and the wind that blows brought a comfortable air with it.

The eight gambling houses in Ji Yunxi’s hands opened up one after another. Among them, Dechang Gambling House was the first one to open. Today is the fifth day of business, it is extremely popular and people are coming and going.

This is all thanks to the new manager Fang Yuan. He first came up with a gimmick about a new gambling method, found beggars in the city to go around the capital and inform the people, saying that everyone could gamble without chips for once in the three days before the new opening of Dechang Gambling House, and everything of the sort. It can be described as full of tricks.

Fang Yuan has been very busy recently, but when he heard Ji Yunxi was coming, he quickly put down his work and went out to meet Ji Yunxi in person.

He took Ji Yunxi to walk around Dechang Gambling House. As they walked, he told Ji Yunxi: “Third Miss, I already let all those disobedient people in the gambling house go, including Master Ye. Third Miss, you just don’t know, that Master Ye, although he was like ‘if you have the ability, just let me go then’, but when I really let him go, he refused to go instead! He just cries and shouts at the door of the gambling house. Such a big man, but didn’t feel ashamed at all with his own actions! I feel annoyed just by looking at it, so I let the thugs throw him out far away.”

Ji Yunxi nodded gently. Seeing the lively crowd, she was quite satisfied: “You did a good job.”

Fang Yuan smiled and said: “It’s all because Third Miss has taught me well. You told me to do it as much as I confidently feel and if there’s something, you will bear all the responsibility. Since then, this little one was not afraid of anything anymore.”

Ji Yunxi glanced at Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan changed out of his shabby black clothes and put on new clothes, with a pair of new shoes on his feet too. Although it has been hard work for him to run a gambling house these days, in the end, he won’t be eating and sleeping in the open anymore. When one eats well and sleeps well, they will also have a rosy face.

Ji Yunxi quietly glanced at his chest, then took back her eyes and pondered for a while before saying: “You know that I still have seven other gambling houses in my hand. The business of those seven is quite deserted, and I plan to wait until the end of the month to check it out. If Dechang makes a good profit this month, I intend to let you manage the other seven gambling houses. What do you think?”

Fang Yuan was stunned and didn’t speak for a long time.

Originally, when the Third Miss let the maidservant find him and said to him that he could be the manager for Dechang Gambling House. At that time, he already felt that this was a pie that fell from the sky!

Fang Yuan didn’t even dare to think about this before. What he thinks most every day is, where will the next meal be and where will he sleep tonight.

After all, although he is a successful candidate, he can’t go back to his hometown and he doesn’t know anyone with some position in the government office either, so he can’t get a letter of recommendation and it’s difficult for him to enter the government as an aide.

As a result, the Third Miss only asked him a few words and then let him be the manager of the gambling house! Now, in less than half a month, he is about to change from a manager of one gambling house to a manager of eight gambling houses!

Female Lead just smiled without saying a word.
