Genshin Impact's Sweet and Hard Free People

Overwhelmed with emotion, he gently embraced the three women surrounding him, put his hands on their shoulders, and did nothing but close his eyes. He felt that it was wonderful to have them in Yiyu Pavilion.

"Pah, pah, pah, what are you doing? This hall master feels disgusted." In the end, only Hu Tao said with a look of disgust after Xin Hui let go, while Ke Qing and Gan Yu unconsciously shifted their gaze to the side.

However, none of them tried to break free just now... Even Hu Tao, when Xin Hui held her, huddled tightly together and didn't move at all...

……

Therefore, when Xin Hui returned to the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce with Gan Yu's gold card, even Xing Qiu was surprised.

In less than half a day, they've already raised ten million Mora?

"Is your Yiyu Pavilion really that profitable?" Xingqiu gently stroked his chin with his right hand, also somewhat curious.

Although Xingqiu had no concept of how much Mora he had, in his understanding, ten million Mora was not an easy amount to accumulate; an ordinary person could not earn that much money even in several lifetimes.

"Don't worry about where the money came from, besides, it's not my money. Don't worry, the money came from a legitimate source, I won't cheat you." Xin Hui didn't want to say that he was able to scrape together this money by using Gan Yu's Mora.

Seeing that he was unwilling to reveal anything, Xingqiu decided not to ask any further and sighed slightly, saying, "Well then, as long as it's not a malicious loan, that's fine."

Well, that's it, the afternoon's "stealing half a day of leisure" is gone too.

However, seeing Xin Hui's eager expression, as if he wanted the pavilion immediately, Xing Qiu also wanted to remind him: "However, it is indeed possible for you to buy a house, but don't you plan to look at houses first before you buy one?"

Chapter Fifty-Nine: Visiting the Pavilion

“Right, you can look at houses before buying one.” Xin Hui slapped his right fist onto his left hand, suddenly realizing what he meant.

Xingqiu was speechless at Xinhui's behavior and could only put down the book on his left. "You, I think you're really out of your mind. How can you make such a decision so easily? You must think it through before you decide."

Xin Hui clearly didn't understand the meaning behind his words of advice and casually retorted, "That's right, I've thought it through, and I've thought about it for quite a while."

It's been quite a while... Luckily, Xingqiu didn't know that Xinhui only started having this idea in the morning, otherwise he would have been so shocked that he wouldn't have been able to speak.

"Let's go take a look at that place together first. Buying a building worth tens of millions is no small matter. It just so happens that I've finished reading this novel. I'll accompany you in case you get ripped off by those unscrupulous businessmen."

Xin Hui thought so too. What if the value of that pavilion was far less than ten million Mora, and he really got ripped off?

However, another advantage of traveling with Xingqiu is that they have no shortage of topics to talk about on the road.

Because Xingqiu also enjoys reading collections of essays and novels, he has been explaining the benefits of both to Xinhui, but his focus is still on novels.

Because compared to anthologies, novels have a much stronger appeal to ordinary people.

“I’ve recently been reading some of Inazuma’s best-selling novels published by Yaedo, like ‘The New Six Foxes’ and ‘The Fallen Princess Mina’, and I’m going to study their styles,” Xingqiu said to Xinhui, speaking candidly about everything.

In addition, Xingqiu wrote a martial arts novel called "Chenqiu's Sword Collection" based on his own experiences, which he wanted to publish in Liyue Harbor. However, the Liyue Harbor publishing house rejected the manuscript on the grounds that "the setting is too outrageous and the plot is unexpectedly clichéd, and no one will like it."

Unconvinced, Xingqiu printed a few copies himself and secretly placed them in his favorite bookstore, "Wanwen Jishe." However, no one liked to read them, which was quite a blow to him.

And what's most ridiculous is that a passing Inatsuma merchant saw the book, bought a copy, and took it back to Inatsuma, where it became incredibly popular. Inatsuma writers tried to imitate it, but none could surpass *The Record of Picking Up the Sword in Autumn*. From then on, this book held a permanent place in the Inatsuma literary world.

"So you have to be brave enough to try new things. Writing a book is something that can't be explained in a simple way," Xingqiu said proudly, recounting his experience.

Xin Hui was quite envious of him. He gave up the business affairs that he, as the second young master of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, was required to participate in, and pursued his hobbies without any scruples. It was truly rare.

After wandering around for a while, they finally arrived at a three-story pavilion, guided by the servants.

Located in the heart of Liyue's bustling streets, it shares a somewhat ancient architectural style with the surrounding buildings, which makes it all the more pleasing to the eye.

The bright red lacquered wood is the main feature of the pavilion's surface. In addition, the neat, black, glossy decorative bricks and tiles are also very distinctive. The pavilion gives people the feeling of a magnificent palace with five ridges and flowing eaves, which is eye-catching.

The main gate was even more imposing, also consisting of two hinged wooden doors, but made of high-quality, aged wood that emitted a faint woody fragrance when smelled closely. Xin Hui thought that the empty space on the wooden door could later be used to place the three large characters "Yi Yu Ge" (衣语阁).

"Come on, let's go in and take a look." Xingqiu winked at him, then quietly slipped inside first.

Hey! Wait for me!

Young Master Xingqiu is as still as a virgin in public, but as swift as a rabbit in private. This saying is no joke.

Xin Hui believed that his relationship with Xing Qiu was quite good. Not only did Xing Qiu help him find shops at the beginning, but he would also see this young master Xing Qiu every time he delivered the clothes that Yi Yu Ge couldn't sell to Fei Yun Chamber of Commerce. Their relationship gradually became familiar.

Xin Hui's impression of Xing Qiu was that he liked to joke around with people he was more familiar with, and he would become quirky and mischievous.

However, when he encounters strangers, he becomes incredibly well-behaved and strictly adheres to the rules.

Sure enough, just a moment ago she was smiling as she accompanied him through the gates of the pavilion, but the next moment she reverted to her slightly serious demeanor.

When Xingqiu, who was walking ahead, realized that he was still being watched, he gave himself a "Don't worry, leave it to me" look.

The interior decoration of the pavilion is also quite nice. The walls are decorated with exquisite patterns that look like they were painted by someone, which makes people feel very comfortable.

The main hall of the pavilion is very spacious, and the second and third floors are located in the rear half of the pavilion excluding the main hall. This results in the main hall not only being large in space, but also appearing quite spacious.

There are two staircases, located on the left and right sides leading upstairs. Even the staircases are exquisite and high-class, showing that the owner of this building had put a lot of effort into achieving this level of sophistication.

At that moment, a middle-aged man in a black suit hurriedly came down from upstairs. His face was somewhat thin, but his dark eyes were full of energy.

The middle-aged man greeted Xingqiu and Xinhui as soon as he came down and introduced himself: "I am the owner of this building, Chenxing. May I ask what you need?"

Looking at the somewhat familiar servants around Xingqiu, he roughly guessed that they had come to buy his building.

"You must be the second young master of the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce. It's a pleasure to meet you." The middle-aged man clearly had a good impression of someone of Xingqiu's prominent status.

However, after shaking hands, Chen Xing tentatively inquired about Xing Qiu's purpose for coming.

"Your servants said you want to buy this building of mine?"

Xingqiu simply shook his head slightly and turned his gaze to Xinhui beside him, meaning, "It's not me who wants to buy it, it's him who wants to buy it."

After understanding his meaning, the owner of the pavilion couldn't help but look at Xin Hui with curiosity, and couldn't help but wonder to himself: "How can such a handsome young man have ten million Mora?"

Chen Xing had offered the servants a shocking price that morning, and he wasn't sure if they could accept it. Now that this young upstart had come, the middle-aged man's confidence was starting to waver.

According to Chen Xing, this building was originally a restaurant that catered to both ordinary customers and distinguished guests. However, since small restaurants like Wanmintang have gradually risen in popularity, the restaurant's business has declined day by day, which is why Chen Xing is eager to sell it.

Ten million Mora is just the current price of Chenxing. He said that in the past, it might not have sold for fifteen million Mora.

After Chen Xing finished introducing the restaurant's exquisite and luxurious features, he smiled and asked Xin Hui and Xing Qiu.

"So, have you two considered it?"

Chapter Sixty: Rich Woman Gan Yu

"Actually, Mr. Chenxing, after all this talk, the reason you're planning to sell this restaurant is because it was losing money every day, right? That's why you laid off the employees and took down the signboard." Xingqiu pointed out the problem in one sentence.

Chen Xing's idea of ​​selling this now worthless restaurant to Xin Hui for ten million Mora right under his nose was clearly wishful thinking.

"As far as I know, your restaurant should have made a considerable profit before, and you've almost recovered your costs. If you can sell the restaurant, you can say you've made a fortune. However, your price seems a bit lacking in sincerity." Xingqiu spoke directly and casually, stepping onto his long, slender, and fair legs that were exposed outside his shorts.

He wasn't just wandering around aimlessly; wherever he went, he pointed out the restaurant's minor flaws.

Some of the wooden planks on the walls were rotten, some of the exquisitely painted patterns had faded, and because it was a restaurant, there weren't any large windows... In short, the problems pointed out by Xingqiu were all quite reasonable.

"These shortcomings, in my opinion, are the reasons why your restaurant has been so difficult to sell for so long, right?" Xingqiu said with a slightly serious tone.

It has to be said that Young Master Xingqiu's bargaining skills are absolutely flawless; at least Xinhui has learned something new.

After hearing this, Chen Xing couldn't help but smile awkwardly on his thin face: "It is indeed as you said, but to be honest, the biggest reason why the restaurant can't be sold is still the problem with the decoration."

Regarding the issue of home renovation?

Xinhui thought, isn't such a large main hall and magnificent decoration good enough? At most, we could add two more large display windows; the renovation wouldn't be a big problem.

Actually, Xin Hui just acted impulsively and forgot that Yi Yu Ge is a clothing store. Therefore, the rooms upstairs in the restaurant where they need to live are decorated like private rooms, which would be a bit too much for people to live in.

Thinking about it, it really makes sense. Renovating this entire restaurant would definitely be a considerable expense.

"Eight million Mora, that's the highest price we can offer." Xingqiu gestured, and after some haggling, finally gave a reasonable price.

The middle-aged man named Chenxing couldn't win the argument and was clearly at a loss. After a wry smile, he sighed slightly and said, "Then let's go with Young Master Xingqiu's suggestion: eight million Mora."

Xingqiu smiled, a hint of pride in his expression, and said politely, "In that case, I'll thank you on behalf of this friend."

Xin Hui was inwardly grateful to Xing Qiu. Although it was only a few short words, Xing Qiu's imposing presence had successfully saved him two million Mora. He didn't need to go; Xing Qiu would definitely agree to the price.

After both parties reached an agreement, the next step was for them to draft the contract on-site.

Xinhui and Chenxing signed their names on two identical contracts one after the other, and then shook hands respectfully to maintain the sense of ceremony.

The contract has been made; those who break their word shall be punished by being devoured by the rocks!

"The money is guaranteed by my Feiyun Chamber of Commerce and will be sent to you later," Xingqiu said with a slight apology after they signed the contract.

This was certainly not a problem. After all, everyone in Liyue Harbor knew the name of the Flying Cloud Merchant Guild, and with their wealth, a few million Mora was just a drop in the ocean. So, when Xinhui and the others left, Chenxing was still watching them go.

As the group walked along the road, Xingqiu spoke to Xinhui about his views on pavilions.

"Eight million is enough to buy that restaurant, which can be considered a small profit, but we can't skimp on the rest. In my opinion, that pavilion also needs to be properly renovated to better suit the style required by Yiyu Pavilion."

Xinhui also agreed. The pavilion was spacious, but it felt like it lacked the atmosphere a clothing store should have.

Xingqiu's opinion also reminded him that the entire main hall should be decorated as a clothing exhibition hall of Yiyuge, and the rooms on the second and third floors should be slightly renovated for living purposes.

"I won't pry into the relationship between you and Lady Keqing. Anyway, I'll help you to the end. I'll hire some experienced decorators and make sure your new building is beautifully decorated." After hearing Xinhui's explanation, Xingqiu felt a bit overwhelmed.

It seems Xingqiu already knows about Keqing and the others' situation living in Yiyu Pavilion. Although Xinhui was shy about this, she didn't hesitate and said that she would go ahead to the Northern Bank first.

We need to get the money for Xingqiu first, so as not to make things difficult for this "guarantor" due to the long delay.

At the Northern Bank, he finally learned how the amount on each gold card was recorded. The staff kept special records of all the gold cards issued, and everything was traceable.

So, withdrawing money with Gan Yu's card is quite eye-catching, isn't it? Especially when you have 500 million Mora in your card.

When Xinhui learned about this credit limit, he was naturally shocked!

This is a wealth that many people could never obtain in several lifetimes!

Fortunately, the Northern Bank has a certain degree of confidentiality; otherwise, carrying 500 million Mora while being watched by everyone would be a very scary thing.

The staff members in charge were naturally shocked, but they still processed the paperwork for Xinhui, and the ten million Mora was disbursed normally.

Xin Hui planned to have them deliver the goods to Xing Qiu at Fei Yun Chamber of Commerce directly, otherwise he wouldn't be able to move them himself.

"Isn't that person from your bank named D'Artagnan here?" Xin Hui inquired about D'Artagnan with the staff. According to Zhong Li's account, the Fools were an indispensable part of his plan.

"I'm sorry, Lady D'Artagnan is not here today," the woman in black said apologetically.

This made Xin Hui feel a little disappointed, as he originally had some questions for D'Artagnan, but now those plans were ruined. However, the Northern Bank thoughtfully sent four staff members to help Xin Hui transport the Mora, which made things much easier for him.

When he saw Young Master Xingqiu again, the sun had already set, leaving only a few rays of sunlight.
