Gu Chaoyan looked just as skinny, but she was not as pale-looking and dull as she had been on the boat a couple of days earlier. Her eyes were very large, and despite her coldness as she was talking, her eyes were sparkling. If you took a closer look at her, you would find that she was a very good-looking girl with exquisite facial features.
However, most people would fail to see how beautiful she looked, because she had such an outstanding, poised and arrogant air that when you met her for the first time, you would only see the conspicuous red birthmark on her left eye corner.
Those things would automatically make people forget how beautiful she actually was.
She was so beautiful that he thought that she was like most of the other ladies in the capital, spoiled and troublesome. For example, how she behaved on the boat made him feel that a woman was a burden to them all.
However, as they started to travel on the land, she was not as spoiled any more. She was quiet and sometimes she rode on her own. She was good at riding horses and she was able to catch up with them.
Then they came to the Feather Mulberry Land.
He had thought that this lady was just less spoiled than most of the other ladies, but it was not until this moment, when he witnessed how she behaved calmly and thought of such an evil plan within such a short period of time rather than hide how much she wanted to take revenge on their enemies, that he obtained a different opinion of her.
She was truthful and smart.
He thought of her differently now.
Zhou Huaiyu was right. Although most of the imperial children were all playboy types, the real excellent and outstanding ones were rarely seen.
Wuhen was going through these ideas inwardly rather than showing or speaking about it, but of course, Gu Chaoyan did not know that someone was forming a different opinion about her as she was talking. She had been immersed in how to put what she had thought into actions.
She told Yinfeng about how to get the store ready, but they needed to get down to the detailed plan.
That was what one had to do, when he or she wanted to achieve results.
Gu Chaoyan went through her own plan across her mind. Now she had a complete idea of what she ought to do. She explained in detail. “When Yinfeng gets busy with his work, we can make a plan about how to run the restaurant.”
“…”
“I should not be present. Also the Imperial Master has met Sword One and Fu Bao, so neither of them should be present either. I am wondering whom we should entrust this mission to? That person has to run a business for us, so he or she should have some knowledge of how to run a business.” Gu Chaoyan asked.
She needed a manager who could run the business in the early stage whilst being intimidating enough to hold the whole scene.
Zhou Huaiyu showed some movement.
He said confidently. “Of course it should be me.”
He had never run a real business before, other than some casinos, but he knew something about running a business. Anyway it should not be that difficult to run a restaurant that sold ordinary dishes. Besides, Gu Chaoyan was behind him anyway, wasn’t she? He was just someone who followed the orders.
He was sure that he would be capable of doing this, since everyone else was just guards who only knew how to do martial arts.
However…
“Why must you be away at the moment?”
