The night was getting darker and darker, and everyone was leaving the lobby one after another with a sigh of relief.

the next day!

Bai Zhantang was packing up his bedding and preparing to open the door when he saw Chen Muchan walking out of the room, saying hello to him and leaving the inn with a smile.

After a while, he saw Zhang Chen walking from upstairs to the lobby. Bai Zhantang came to Zhang Chen and whispered:

"Chen Muchan left the inn early and didn't know where he went."

After hearing this, Zhang Chen looked at the inn door thoughtfully and thought of yesterday's conversation. Based on these messages, it seemed that he planned to stay here for a long time.

Thinking of this and Chen Muchan's whereabouts this morning, Zhang Chen smiled and said to Bai Zhantang:

"It seems we have an extra neighbor."

Bai Zhantang said in surprise:

"Um, you mean him?"

After speaking, he pointed to the door. Zhang Chen nodded affirmatively, indicating that he would know the result later.

When Zhang Chen and Bai Zhantang were joking and joking, everyone also appeared in the lobby one after another. Seeing the two of them joking, Tong Xiangyu said:

"Well, what a brain, what are you doing here if you don't prepare breakfast so early in the morning?"

Zhang Chen and Bai Zhantang hurriedly ran to the kitchen to help Dazui with his work, and watched Tong Xiangyu, the two of them, holding their foreheads helplessly.

When breakfast was served and she saw that Chen Muchan was not there, Tong Xiangyu turned to ask Chen Anan who was eating wildly beside her and said:

"An'an, where is your father? Why don't you come down for dinner?"

Chen Anan shook his head without raising his head to express that he didn't know, and then continued to work hard.

Mrs. Chen sat on the other side of the long table and said softly:

"Don't worry about him. He left the room early in the morning. What else do you have to do?"

After Tong Xiangyu heard the words, he immediately greeted them to eat with a smile.

After everyone had breakfast, there were no guests at this time. Everyone gathered together and chatted as usual. Tong Xiangyu also chatted in the lobby because of Chen Anan.

At this time, Chen Muchan greeted everyone with a smile on his face. Looking at his cheerful expression, Zhang Chen knew that the matter should be done, otherwise he would definitely not have this expression.

Sure enough, after Chen Muchan greeted everyone, he stood in front of the door and clasped his fists again and said:

"Everyone! Let me tell you some good news."

"We'll be neighbors soon!"

Chen Muchan's words made the scene quiet for a while. Zhang Chen gave Bai Zhantang a look to indicate that he had guessed correctly. Bai Zhantang looked at Chen Muchan in surprise and did not expect that he really planned to stay.

Tong Xiangyu looked at Chen Muchan with a puzzled face and said:

"Mr. Chen, what are you doing?"

Chen Muchan went on to explain:

"I went to the county government this morning to buy the restaurant opposite and plan to open a medical clinic. We will be neighbors from now on. I hope that shopkeeper Tong will take care of me."

When Chen Anan understood that the medical clinic was going to reopen, she immediately became happy. She quickly walked to Zhu Yipin and took his arm and said:

"Brother Zhu, have you heard that our medical clinic is about to reopen?"

Seeing everyone staring at the two of them, Zhu Yipin immediately pulled Chen Anan's hand away and smiled awkwardly.

When Tong Xiangyu heard that Chen Muchan planned to settle here, he was still a doctor and his expression relaxed.

She thought that a neighbor who was a doctor might give her a discount if she had a headache or fever.

Chen Muchan saw that Tong Xiangyu's eyes were a little distracted and immediately shouted:

"Shopkeeper Tong?"

Tong Xiangyu was awakened by Chen Muchan's voice and quickly said:

"Congratulations to Mr. Chen! I didn't expect you to be a doctor. We must take care of each other."

Hearing that Tong Xiangyu was being polite to Chen Muchan, everyone in the lobby was speechless. They didn't know what the shopkeeper was thinking.

Zhang Chen saw that he and Tong Xiangyu were chatting happily, so he did not interrupt them. After asking everyone to go about their business, he said something to Bai Zhantang and walked out to the county government office.

He wants to go to the county government to verify Chen Muchan's affairs. At this time, he can still ask the county government to handle the handover and purchase of the restaurant. There must be Xichang's handiwork in this.

Otherwise, with the style of the county government, Zhang Chen was surprised that Chen Muchan could see talented people when he went to the county government. Even though Lou Zhixian was diligent and caring for the people, he did not open the government office so early.

When Zhang Chen came to the county government office, he discovered that the government office was really open today. Zhang Chen had no choice but to walk to the county government office with doubts and asked the government officials to make an announcement. After that, Zhang Chen sat in the inner hall and waited for the county magistrate Lou to arrive.

After a while, Lou Zhixian walked into the inner hall with some worry. When he saw Zhang Chen, his face smiled again. Lou Zhixian asked:

"Why is Xiaochen free to come to my place today? You don't usually come here often."

After seeing the ceremony, Zhang Chen raised his hands and said:

"I have nothing to do but go to the Sanbao Palace to inquire about some trivial matters, but I didn't expect that the county government will open so early today? Magistrate Lou is very hardworking, I admire you."

Zhang Chen's words of praise made Lou Zhixian wave his hands repeatedly. His face turned red and he said a little embarrassedly:

"But we shouldn't boast like this, and we have no choice but to do it today."

"It's strange to say that since the last operation in our Seven Heroes Town, big shots have been coming here one after another."

"Let's just say that today, just after I had washed up and had not eaten breakfast, a middle-aged man came outside the county office with a handwritten letter from Xichangchang and asked me to cooperate with his actions in Qixia Town."

"I haven't understood the cooperation yet. He said goodbye and left after buying a restaurant. Oh, by the way, it's the Yihong Restaurant in Tongzhouhui."

Lou Zhixian finished speaking like he was pouring beans through a bamboo tube. This made Zhang Chen look at Lou Zhixian in surprise. He had never seen Lou Zhixian speak so well.

Lou Zhixian's words had already made Zhang Chen understand what he wanted to know, so he quickly refilled Lou Zhixian's cup of tea before slowly speaking:

"Master Magistrate, I saw that I was a little worried before entering the inner office. If it's because of the West Factory, don't worry, they won't affect you."

Upon hearing this, Lou Zhixian glanced at Zhang Chen thoughtfully, then waved his hand and said:

"It's not because of this that I'm worried, but because Cuiwei Mountain not far outside the county collapsed for some reason. It not only blocked the road out, but also collapsed the underground waterway."

"I was just thinking about how to solve this matter. I didn't pay attention to what happened in the West Factory. After all, everyone is working for the imperial court."

Seeing that Magistrate Lou was not worried about Chen Muchan, Zhang Chen stopped asking and chatted with Magistrate Lou for a while before getting up and leaving.

When Zhang Chen returned to the inn, he saw that the door of the inn was closed, which made him confused. He just went out and the inn was closed today.

After opening the door, I found that everyone was sitting quietly on one side of the long table, and on the other side, Xing Captou and Xiaoliu were recording something.

Seeing that Mr. Xing was actually here, Zhang Chen asked doubtfully:

"Uncle Xing, why are you here? No wonder I didn't see you at the county office just now."

Thanks for the support!
