Wasting Money to Become an Immortal-Chapter 49: Can I manage the store?

I was surprised to hear that my lackey was from a merchant family, but I was even more surprised to see that he was so skilled that he was able to make an accurate estimate of the value of this restaurant with just a single glance.

It seemed that I had picked up quite the talent.

If I remember correctly, this lackey’s name was Wang Fu.

I never really cared about my lackey’s names even though they had told me them before.

For me, I just addressed the lackeys as a whole since they usually operated as a whole.

But that didn’t mean that I didn’t know the name of my lackeys like this Wang Fu.

After looking at him for a bit, I said with a nod, "Alright, I trust your judgement." Then I tossed a hundred low grade spirit stones at him.

Wang Fu’s eyes lit up when he saw this and he quickly thanked me, but I had already turned back to look at the manager.

Looking at the manager who still looked worried, I said, "I won’t take advantage of you, so I’ll pay you ten times for this restaurant."

The manager’s chin dropped when he heard this as he looked at me in disbelief.

The lackeys, Lin Li Zi, and Liu Ao Xue all looked at me with bitter smiles on their faces, but not a single one of them tried to stop me. After all, they knew that there was no way that they would be able to stop me.

The only thing that anyone did was Lin Li Zi moving back to protect the Storage Ring that was on her finger.

I hadn’t been able to spend everything that she earned from selling the pills, so I had given the rest of the spirit stones to her as an allowance. She wouldn’t be receiving another allowance for the rest of the month because of this.

The reason why she was afraid was because she was afraid that I would use the spirit stones that I gave her to pay for this restaurant. She was scared that I would still be punishing her.

But I wouldn’t do that since I had already punished her.

After I said this, I waved my hand and tossed a pile of spirit stones on the ground before saying, "There’s two thousand spirit stones here, it’s a bit more than ten times the price, but I’ll give you all of this. The rest can be considered a tip for your hard work."

The manager looked at the spirit stones that were on the ground in a daze.

He had worked in this business long enough to see through fakes, so he could easily tell that all of these spirit stones were real.

That was why he was even more stunned since he never thought that someone could throw out spirit stones this easily.

Seeing him like this, I revealed a faint smile.

After waiting for him to recover a bit, I said, "I also want to keep hiring you to work in this restaurant since I can’t be here to manage it. I’ll make sure you pay you a proper wage, ten times what you would normally receive for this position."

The manager’s eyes lit up the moment that he heard this before quickly nodding in agreement. Then as if he realized something was wrong with the way that he accepted, he stopped nodding and came forward to bow to me, "Young master, it would be my honour to sell the store to you."

I just gave a nod before saying, "Go and take care of the paperwork for me, have it done by the time we’re done eating."

Wang Fu suddenly stood up and walked over to the manager before saying, "Shall we?"

The manager gave a very strong nod before leading Wang Fu to the back.

Since I knew about Wang Fu’s background, I was confident in allowing him to handle this matter.

I was sure that he wouldn’t make a mistake.

So I left this matter to him and went back to my meal.

But there was someone else that wanted to discuss something with me.

"Big brother, can I manage this store?"

Lin Li Zi surprised me by suddenly asking me this.

With a surprised look, I asked, "Why do you want to manage this store all of a sudden?"

Lin Li Zi revealed a serious look as she said, "I want to learn how to do many different things for the future. Managing this store is just one of those things."

Seeing her like this, I couldn’t help feeling a bit proud of my mature little sister.

But...feeling proud of her and actually letting her do it were two completely different matters.

Letting my cute little sister stay in this city alone was much too dangerous.

Not to mention, this was the period where we had just joined the sect and started to cultivate. During this time, she should be focusing on her cultivation so she could become as strong as possible.

Only when she had the strength to protect herself would she be able to do the things that she wanted.

This was all about her future, it wasn’t just my feelings as her older brother that made me want to keep her by my side.

So I shook my head and said, "It’s far too dangerous and you should be focusing on your cultivation right now. There’s no time for you to manage this store."

To my surprise, Lin Li Zi didn’t back down as she said, "Big brother, this is a very important matter for my future, so I can’t back down. I have to insist on staying here to manage this store."

I looked at her with a strange look when I heard this. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

After all, I never thought that she would be so insistent on this...

Before I could say anything else, the system suddenly said something.

"Host, please consider this as a solution for your problems."
