Becoming The Business Magnate’s Spoiled Wife Chapter 54 – Renovation Disturbance

Over the weekend, the owner of the Chinese medicine store called and invited Qu Xiao to inspect the renovation of the shop.

Shang Yan, who had originally planned to go with Qu Xiao, received a call from Li. A branch of Shang Group had a problem and he was needed to return to the group headquarters to oversee and deploy the mission plans of the various departments through a video conference. He could only apologize to Qu Xiao. Qu Xiao expressed her understanding and went to the Chinese medicine store alone. From afar, she saw the renovation workers busy outside the second-floor shop. She smiled in relief and crossed her arms as she strolled around the area, she wanted to get to know her neighbors. Twenty to thirty meters away from the Chinese medicine store, another renovation team was remaking a plaque.

Qu Xiao tilted her head and recalled the vague memories of her previous two visits. She could not recall what kind of shop this place was originally.

Her fair face wore an amiable smile as she approached the renovation workers. “Uncle, this shop was…”

Bang! Extremely heavy tiles fell from the top of Qu Xiao’s head. They barely grazed her shoulder and fell to the ground, breaking into countless pieces.

Qu Xiao’s face was pale. She hurriedly ran to the side and hid in a safe spot to look at the roof.

A blurry figure flashed by the window. A worker whose face was covered in dust leaned on the railing and looked down. He waved his hand apologetically and said, “I’m sorry! Are you alright? The tiles were too heavy and I accidentally lost my grip. I’m really sorry!” Qu Xiao tried her best to calm down. She shook her head gently and did not fight with him. She only reminded him to be careful.

On the second-floor platform of the shop, Qu Qi clapped her hands with a dark and vicious look in her eyes. She muttered quietly, “Consider her lucky!”

Qu Zhen stepped on the wooden boards and bricks and walked to Qu Qi’s side. She frowned slightly and stopped her, “Don’t be like this. What if someone dies?”

“Sister! Can you tolerate Qu Xiao being by CEO Shang’s side? That should have been…”

Qu Qi retorted sharply, but when she met Qu Zhen’s gaze, she subconsciously shut her mouth and did not dare to speak again.

Qu Zhen quietly watched Qu Xiao’s back as she left. Her eyes narrowed slightly and her thumb pressed on her palm. No emotions could be seen.

Other than the incident where she almost got hurt, the shop’s progress was smooth.

A few days later, Qu Xiao’s Chinese medicine store was officially ready to open. Her eyes were filled with joy as she ran to Shang Yan’s side and deliberately asked mysteriously, “Are you free today? Can you accompany me to a place?” Shang Yan placed the financial newspaper on the coffee table and held Qu Xiao’s hand. “Is it something very important?”

Qu Xiao hesitated for a moment. “It’s not very important…”

Shang Yan checked his schedule and answered apologetically, “I have an appointment with a friend that was made in advance. I have to go and help…”

Qu Xiao could not hide her regret as she lowered her eyes, but she quickly forced a smile. She shrugged her shoulders lightly and said, “It’s okay.”

“Then you go and do your work! I have to go out for a while too…”

The shop’s driver sent Qu Xiao to the shop’s entrance. She rubbed her hands together nervously.

When she saw the signboard covered with a red cloth and the boss who had been waiting for a long time, Qu Xiao began to feel uneasy.

She had calculated how long the renovation would take, and handled the matter according to the established procedure. However, everything still felt surreal.

Did she finally have her own business and shop?

Qu Xiao’s chest was filled with joy and she wanted to share her joy with Shang Yan, but she resisted the urge to contact him, afraid that it would affect his work.

The boss and Qu Xiao discussed the business plan for the Chinese medical center, but a voice came from the door.

“Where’s your boss? Get her now!”

A strange man brought a few strong men into the shop. They looked around fiercely and their eyes fell on Qu Xiao.

The boss originally wanted to block Qu Xiao’s path, but Qu Xiao gently pushed him away and walked up to the strange man, “I’m the boss. What do you want? We can discuss it properly…” She took out a few bottles of drinks and handed them to the other party.

When doing business, one had to be tactful.

The other party did not seem to have expected Qu Xiao to have such an attitude. The strange man also coughed a few times in embarrassment. He pointed at the shop’s furnishings and said in a fierce tone, “The color of your shop is unlucky. It clashes with my shop across the street!”

“My tenant said that you will affect their business.”

“You look like a reasonable person. I’ll give you a few days to change the decorations in the shop!” The strange man looked down at Qu Xiao. His words made the owner of the Chinese medicine store somewhat dissatisfied.

She muttered, “This is ridiculous!”

“Why should we renovate just because of you? Do you know how much trouble it will cause?”
