Xu Wendong’s eyes carried a sense of certainty and confidence as he firmly spoke, "Helping people with fortune-telling and disaster relief! This is my specialty; I should be able to establish myself here."

Lin Yiren had always been a firm believer in Xu Wendong’s extraordinary methods. Without hesitation, she quickly took out her phone from her bag, her slender, fair fingers gliding lightly across the screen as she precisely dialed the number on the notice outside the gemstone shop.

As soon as the call connected, her voice was gentle and melodic yet courteous, meticulously inquiring about the rental details with clarity, each question hitting the key points, showcasing her intelligence and competence.

"Alright, we’ll wait for you here."

After exchanging a few crucial details efficiently, Lin Yiren lightly pursed her lips, gently hanging up the phone, and then turned to Xu Wendong, with a hint of joy and anticipation flickering in her eyes as she spoke in a light tone, "The landlord is nearby, they can arrive in about ten minutes, soon we’ll be able to meet them face-to-face."

Xu Wendong slightly nodded with a gentle hum, then calmly stood with his sister-in-law at the door of the gemstone shop, patiently waiting.

About fifteen minutes later, a man in his forties hurriedly arrived and appeared at the door of the gemstone shop.

His name is Zheng Yuanshan, the owner of this gemstone shop.

Zheng Yuanshan was slightly plump, his hair meticulously groomed, dressed in a well-tailored business attire, his eyes revealing both the shrewdness and competence inherent to businessmen.

Yet, beneath that shrewd exterior, there seemed to be a hint of exhaustion and helplessness, perhaps due to the persistent difficulties in operating the gemstone shop, leaving some marks on his brows and eyes.

Zheng Yuanshan hurriedly approached the entrance of the gemstone shop, seeing Xu Wendong and Lin Yiren, he quickly forced a professional smile and said, "Sorry to keep you waiting."

Lin Yiren responded with a gentle smile, "No worries, Boss Zheng, we just arrived not long ago."

Xu Wendong slightly raised his head, scrutinizing Zheng Yuanshan for a moment, then steadily said, "Boss Zheng, let’s get straight to discussing the transfer of the shop."

Zheng Yuanshan sighed lightly, his expression slightly gloomy as he said, "Don’t mind me saying, I’ve been running this shop for a few years now, initially business was barely passable, but the competition on Antique Street has grown increasingly fierce over the years, making jade business more and more difficult. That’s why I reluctantly considered transferring it."

With that, he slowly opened the shop door, raised his hand invitingly, signaling for the two to enter.

Lin Yiren stepped inside, looked around courteously asked, "Boss Zheng, how exactly is the rent calculated, and what would the transfer fee be?"

Zheng Yuanshan thought for a moment before saying, "As for rent, my shop isn’t very large, eight thousand a month."

"Regarding the transfer fee, with the jade inventory, some renovations, and equipment, I initially intended to ask for five hundred thousand, but seeing you are truly interested, I can slightly reduce it, how does four hundred and fifty thousand sound?"

Xu Wendong, upon hearing this price, deliberated internally, feeling it fairly met his expectations and was acceptable.

Subsequently, both parties signed the transfer contract in a cordial and efficient atmosphere, and Xu Wendong promptly made the payment.

Zheng Yuanshan solemnly handed the shop keys to Xu Wendong and sincerely said, "I wish you prosperous business! The shop didn’t flourish in my hands; hopefully, it will thrive with new vigor and vitality in yours."

Xu Wendong smiled, sincerely saying, "Thank you for your good wishes!"

After Zheng Yuanshan left, Xu Wendong and Lin Yiren entered the shop, beginning to meticulously discuss the renovation matters.

"Sis, in my opinion, we just need to change a signboard."

As Xu Wendong observed the shop’s layout, he expressed his views, "These display cases aren’t obstructive, we can continue to display some gemstones, as well as talismans and other items, complementing the shop’s overall style."

The reason Xu Wendong was interested in this gemstone shop was ultimately due to its decor style being highly aligned with his aesthetic taste, antique and charming, full of lasting appeal, and those glass cabinets originally used for displaying gemstones could continue to serve their purpose.

For him, apart from changing the signboard, there seemed no need to drastically alter other arrangements inside the shop.

Lin Yiren slightly nodded, softly acknowledging, "Then let’s follow what you said, we’ll first find someone to customize a signboard!"

Xu Wendong’s smile slightly rose, brimming with confidence, "There’s no need to find someone, I can do it myself."

After saying that, Xu Wendong paused briefly, then added, "Let’s go buy a car for commuting."

He knew that his current cultivation level had significantly declined, making aerial flight impossible as before, and without a car, getting around often felt somewhat inconvenient, so purchasing a car for commuting was now a necessity.

"Alright, let’s go buy a car then!" Lin Yiren agreed to Xu Wendong’s proposal, closed the door, and the two walked out toward the antique market.

Meanwhile, Lin Yiren curiously asked, "What kind of car are you planning to buy? Fuel-powered or new energy?"

"Fuel-powered," Xu Wendong knew that new energy vehicles were now mainstream, but he still preferred fuel-powered ones, as it alleviated any range anxiety.

Perhaps traditional fuel-powered vehicles are not as good as new energy ones in terms of experience, nor are the car systems as advanced, but for Xu Wendong, as long as the driving experience is comfortable, that’s enough.

Other aspects are not very important!

Shortly, they arrived at a large-scale car sales showroom.

The showroom was brightly lit, various automobiles neatly arranged, shining with alluring gloss, seemingly showcasing their unique charm.

The sales personnel sported uniform outfits, professional smiles on their faces, their eyes constantly assessing the customers, seemingly evaluating their purchasing power.

As Xu Wendong and Lin Yiren just entered the showroom, a slick young salesperson twisted his body, greeting them.

He scanned Xu Wendong and Lin Yiren thoroughly with eyes like sharp surgical knives, attempting to deduce their wealth status from their attire.

Although their clothes were not luxurious, they were clean and presentable, without evident luxury brands, his mouth immediately drooped, his eyes undisguisedly showing a hint of disdain.

He turned up his nose, snorted from his nasal cavity, said with Yin Yang Strange Qi, "Oh, are you here to look at cars? We only have good cars here, very expensive. Are you sure you’re in the right place?"
