Mu Zhou told Du Ran that the Xuantian Gang’s resort and immersive Jianghu experience center had found buyers, and the prices were acceptable.

"Alas, although I am reluctant, I have to move forward!" Du Ran sighed, "Just take the money." She lacks nothing now, except money.

"Yu Chengfeng said he has already found a shop on South Street in the Imperial City. How about we go over and take a look now?" Mu Zhou suggested.

Du Ran was a little excited, her new journey was about to begin!

After leaving the palace gate and walking for a distance, people gradually started to move around, and the scene became more and more lively as we walked forward.

The imperial city is divided into four main streets, east, west, south and north, but each main street is divided into many small paths like the branches of a big tree. Although they are small paths, they are still clean and tidy, and the streets are also very lively, not to mention the main streets. On weekdays, there are crowds of people and constant hawking sounds. The variety of goods is so prosperous that it is definitely not comparable to Yuecheng.

"The imperial city is the imperial city, it's so majestic! I've never really observed or experienced it before." Du Ran couldn't help but sigh when he thought of the scene when he entered the palace before.

"What kind of store do you want to open?" Mu Zhou asked.

Du Ran rubbed his hands together and laughed: "Brothel."

"I don't agree!" This time, Mu Zhou felt it necessary to disagree.

"I'm the boss, I have the final say."

"If we don't share the same ideals, we can't work together. I won't work as a clerk in your shop." Mu Zhou rubbed his aching temples, feeling dizzy.

"Of course, it's not appropriate for you to be in the store." Du Ran said without thinking.

"Do you want to reconsider it?" Mu Zhou suggested kindly.

Du Ran shook his head: "The emperor didn't allow this kind of store to be opened before, but now that Yu Chengfeng is the emperor, he wants to open stores everywhere. And I will be the leader, and then I can just sit and wait for the money to come! Hahaha!" Du Ran had already imagined the beautiful picture of himself sleeping with a cash box in his arms.

Du Ran immediately got down to work and prepared to start recruiting.

But everyone seemed to be avoiding it, as if the recruitment notice at the door of Du Ran's store was something dirty, and almost everyone passing by glanced at it with disgust and ridicule and then quickly left.

In this way, the job notice was posted for a day, but no one responded.

"Let's change our thinking!" Mu Zhou suggested again.

"Wait a little longer. There will be no one here during the day, but someone will come at night." Du Ran was quite confident in himself.

"Why?"

"After all, it's an emerging industry. Who doesn't want to be a gentleman on the surface? If he takes a closer look at our recruitment notice, it would be considered as having filthy thoughts and low tastes. It's understandable. It's so late and dark, who knows who? Who can't get along with money? Those who are really short of money will come out." Du Ran analyzed to Mu Zhou in a logical manner.

Mu Zhou nodded and looked towards the door. Sure enough, there was a figure wandering at the door.

"Who!" Mu Zhou's vigilance instantly increased.

Du Ran quickly grabbed Mu Zhou who was about to rush out and whispered: "Don't scare others, he must be here for an interview!"

Then he stood up and waved to the door: "Come in and talk."

A timid face poked its head in. It was a girl, quite pretty.

"Excuse me, are you still hiring here?"

Even the sound is soft and thin.

"Of course. Don't stand at the door. Come in and talk!" Du Ran quickly welcomed the person in.

The girl rubbed the corner of her clothes, looking uneasy.

"Don't be nervous. It's fate that we're here. You don't look very old, so you must have your reasons. I'm a businessman, and I don't ask about other people's past or future. You just need to let me know what you can do."

"I can play the pipa."

Du Ran's eyes lit up: "That's great!"

"I only know how to play the pipa."

"no problem."

"But... can I just play the pipa here?" The girl was obviously worried. After all, Du Ran ran a brothel, but she didn't want to sell her body.

"Of course you can. I have two options here. One is to sell your art but not your body. The other option, as you know, depends on your personal choice. You will earn less money if you only sell your art but not your body."

The girl nodded quickly: "Thank you very much for giving me a place to stay!"

"Don't say that. You also earn your money through hard work with your talent!" Du Ran quickly grabbed her.

"Then it's settled. When the shop opens, you will be responsible for playing the pipa and performing for entertainment. We will split the reward money 40% to 60% - 60% for me and 40% for you. You can have four days off every month, and food and accommodation are provided. How do you think?"

The girl nodded.

"In that case, then sign this contract. Let me make it clear first, it's for one year. If you don't want to work in the store after one year, you have to let me know in advance."

The girl nodded again.

Everything went smoothly and Du Ran recruited her first employee, but this was far from enough for her store.

Less than half an incense stick of time after the girl left, three girls walking together came, looking exhausted.

"Boss, do you think the three of us are okay?" The tallest girl stepped forward and asked directly.

Du Ran nodded: "Of course, but there are two choices, sell your art but not your body or..."

"How much money can we make? We came out here to make big money!"

Du Ran understood.

"And we have talents, we can sing and dance."

Du Ran could see that they were three experienced people, but she didn't want to ask about other people's affairs, so she didn't ask any further questions.

"Here, if you perform but don't sell your body, the split is 40% to 60%. If you perform but sell your body, the split is also 40% to 60%. It's just that you get 60% and I get 40%."

The tallest girl seemed unhappy with this: "We worked hard to earn our money, isn't four a bit too much?"

Du Ran smiled and said, "I can guarantee your personal safety here. I can provide food and accommodation. I will never force you to do anything you don't want to do. You can also have four days of vacation every month. These are also costs."

"Can it be increased a little more?" The tall girl still wanted to fight for it, but Du Ran shook his head decisively.

The three girls hesitated for a while, but finally agreed to Du Ran.

Then Du Ran took out the contract, and three more employees were added to her store.

It was already midnight, and Mu Zhou estimated that no one would come, so he was about to close the stall, but a man who was about the same height as Mu Zhou and also handsome walked in.

"Boss, are you still hiring?"

"You are recruiting women, get out of here!" Mu Zhou said with a stern face, chasing him away.

"Don't listen to him. Of course we are hiring you. You are here for an interview..." Du Ran asked tentatively. She originally also wanted to hire a man. After all, women also have the right to choose!

"I have learned some Kung Fu, so I can come to the store and be a thug."

"That's fine!" Du Ran thought that he actually forgot that he had a bodyguard.

"Since you said you have kung fu, then show me a few moves!" Mu Zhou acted as the examiner.

The man glanced at Mu Zhou and said, "I know you are His Highness Jueming. My goal is to surpass you. One day I will surpass you!"

Mu Zhou sneered: "It's good to have goals, but they must be realistic!"

"As the saying goes, the waves behind push the waves ahead, and you are already the wave ahead. It is only a matter of time before I surpass you!"

"Sooner or later? How late? Wait until I'm in my seventies or eighties?" Mu Zhou was totally disdainful.

"Humph! Just wait another two years!"

"You're better at bragging than I am!"

Du Ran was a little bored listening to the two people bickering, so he quickly came out to interrupt: "Okay, I hired you, take a look at the contract, and sign it if you agree."

Unexpectedly, the man signed his name without even looking at it.
