Yang Mengchen naturally wouldn’t cancel the note, “Didn’t Uncle Luo say that I am his daughter? This ten percent share can be considered as my filial tribute to Uncle Luo.”
“I appreciate your filial piety, but I cannot accept this share,” Doctor Luo insisted, shaking his head repeatedly.
Seeing Doctor Luo’s unwavering refusal, Yang Mengchen craftily said, “Uncle Luo wants to advance his medical skills and develop more new medicines, which requires significant financial support. Uncle Luo surely can’t always be reaching out to Young Master Luo for help. With this ten percent share, whatever medicinal ingredients you wish to purchase, and no matter the amount, you will be in charge. This way, you’ll have no worries. Isn’t that right, Uncle Luo?”
At first, she proposed taking a twenty percent share, having already planned on giving Uncle Luo ten percent. Later, considering that she would have to be personally involved in most of the tavern’s initial operations, she increased her stake to thirty percent.
Upon hearing Yang Mengchen’s words, a slight change came over Doctor Luo’s eyes.
The Luo family is a large clan, and even though he is the eldest son of the primary branch, he cannot withdraw money from the family accounts at will.
His savings had long been spent on medicine, and in recent years, it was only with his wife’s dowry that he was able to continue his medical research.
The young girl’s offer indeed spared him the worry about money, but he ultimately felt undeserving of it.
Yang Chengyou suddenly spoke up, “Uncle Luo treats my ninth sister as his own daughter. It’s only right that she shows her filial respect to Uncle Luo. I believe that the elders at home, upon learning of my ninth sister’s decision, will also fully support her.”
“The fourth brother is right. Uncle Luo shouldn’t decline any further, or else our ninth sister will be heartbroken,” Yang Chengning persuaded as well.
As if to prove Yang Chengning’s point, Yang Mengchen truly looked downcast, causing Doctor Luo to feel a sudden pain in his heart. He had no choice but to accept the young girl’s filial gesture, and Yang Mengchen’s face immediately brightened with joy.
If Ms. Yang can show such affection and filial piety to her father, then even if he truly accepted Ms. Yang as his adopted daughter, Luo Jingrui would have no objections.
Shopkeeper Luo felt happy and gratified for his master.
While the young masters were also filial, they were not as attentive as a girl since they were often away from their father’s side. Now with Ms. Yang’s presence, the master would no longer feel lonely.
Meanwhile, Nangong Lingfei observed Yang Chengning and Yang Chengyou with a probing gaze, a gleam of obscure intent flashing in his ink-like eyes.
His attention had always been on the young girl, somewhat overlooking her two brothers.
On closer inspection, the elder brother was brave and upstanding, the younger wise beyond his years, and the other brother he had met earlier was also very composed and reserved. Although he had not met the other Yang family members, just these four alone were far from being common. The Yang family was truly not to be underestimated.
When he had time, he would have to mention the Yang siblings to Xuan Mo; perhaps there would be unexpected gains.
After securing the contract, Yang Mengchen picked up a pen and wrote down three recipes for Nangong Lingfei, then started drawing the design for the tavern.
Nangong Lingfei raised an eyebrow, “Isn’t Ms. Yang going to visit the Drunken Immortal Tavern in person before drawing the blueprints?”
“No need. The day I went to the Drunken Immortal Tavern with Uncle Luo, I already had a general impression in my mind,” Yang Mengchen replied without lifting her head, her hands continuing to work.
About a stick of incense later, Yang Mengchen handed the design drawing to Nangong Lingfei.
Nangong Lingfei took it over and focused on it, while Luo Jingrui, curious, leaned over to look as well. Gradually, their eyes shone brighter and brighter, like stars.
Yongchang Town was a large town, naturally attracting plenty of wealthy individuals, and Drunken Immortal Tavern catered specifically to the affluent, hence its decor was inevitably lavish and splendid.

The tavern designed by Yang Mengchen featured a tranquil first floor, an elegant second floor, and included a rear garden.
The third floor, exclusive to Nangong Lingfei, she left unchanged.
The opulence of the rear garden was incomparable to the other two floors, with tables, chairs, and decorative items all required to be valuables. It even had a pond for fishing, where one could compose poetry, paint, play chess, and so forth. For those in pursuit of cultural refinement as well as wealth, this offered an opportunity to flaunt status and indulge in a supreme experience.
Additionally, she roughly outlined some requirements, such as employee training and work systems, procurement systems, dining protocols for customers, and also suggested introducing various tiers of anonymous membership cards that could be used personally or given as gifts. Diners using these cards at the tavern could enjoy a certain discount, and if customers left any remarkable poems or paintings, the tavern would provide a reward.
“This is just my preliminary concept concerning the tavern’s operation. I will refine it further back home and then hand it over to Young Master Nangong,” Yang Mengchen said. The tavern she designed combined a modern flair with ancient charm, offering a fresh and unique style that was markedly different from the current taverns, giving an impression of novelty and distinctiveness.
“Cough, cough, cough…”
Nangong Lingfei and Luo Jingrui were marveling that she not only understood tavern design but also had a grasp of business strategies. Some demands she made were unheard of and unseen by them. If the tavern were renovated according to her specifications, coupled with the continuous introduction of new menus, business would surely boom. To their surprise, she said this was just a preliminary concept, and they were barely saved from choking on their saliva.
Looking disdainfully at the two young men, Doctor Luo was certain that the young lady’s design exceeded their imaginations. That’s why they were in such a state. Turning his eyes towards the young lady, his gaze was filled with pride and satisfaction.
At that moment, Nangong Lingfei had no intention of paying attention to Doctor Luo: “May I ask where Ms. Yang learned her business acumen?” His eyes were sharp and inquiring.
“No comment,” Yang Mengchen replied indifferently.
Seeing Nangong Lingfei’s face darken, Luo Jingrui hurriedly interjected, “Alright, Lingfei, you and Ms. Yang are now partners. Ms. Yang has put her heart and soul into ensuring the tavern’s success. You should feel happy about that. As for where Ms. Yang learned her business acumen, that’s not important, right?”
“I was just curious and meant nothing by it. Please, Ms. Yang, do not take offense.” The reminder from his good friend brought Nangong Lingfei back to his senses in an instant. The tavern’s business still needed Ms. Yang’s strategic planning. Offending her could lead to loss rather than gain. Moreover, he had Uncle Shi by his side, watching eagerly: “Ms. Yang, should I introduce the new menu first, or should I start renovating the tavern?”
After a moment of contemplation, Yang Mengchen lucidly stated, “First introduce these three new dishes and see how the customers react. At the same time, inform them that the tavern is going to be remodeled and more new dishes will be introduced later. Whet their appetites. Once the tavern reopens, I believe everyone will come to satisfy their curiosity.”
“Excellent idea!” Nangong Lingfei exclaimed with approval.
First, offering everyone a taste of the sweet life, then arousing their curiosity. When they saw the innovative new tavern, naturally they wouldn’t be able to hold back their eagerness to experience it for themselves. After the experience, they would certainly be left wanting more, finding themselves revisiting again and again. Ms. Yang was truly remarkable; she grasped the human heart to the core!
Luo Jingrui wore a smile, yet his eyes contained a hint of affection difficult to notice.
Doctor Luo and the Yang siblings wore expressions of shared pride.
And the Zhao family father and son, who had been quietly sitting aside the whole time, although surprised at their ninth sister’s knack for business, wisely chose to remain silent.
