Farewell Flower Festival

After all, he was of her grandfather's generation, so Chaoyan couldn't call him by his name, so she called him Yu Bo, introduced him to jade and amber, took him to the backyard to see the house, and talked about the business she was going to do on the way.

Yu Bo praised her for her ability and said that women are as good as men. These words touched Chaoyan's heart and he insisted on paying her a salary of one or two taels of silver a month, as well as red envelopes during festivals and holidays and dividends at the end of the year.

After settling Yu Bo, Chao Yan was about to take down the job recruitment sign at the door. As soon as he went out, he saw a person standing in front of the sign, looking at what was written on it with great interest.

"Don't look, you're too late. People have already been recruited." Chao Yan walked over and said.

Han Lie asked, "Little Lianzi, what are the bad habits written on it?"

Chao Yan said: "If you are like me, you are just a playboy."

Han Lie smiled and said, "Xiao Lianzi still understands me."

At this time, Yu Bo walked out of the store and said, "Miss, let me take this." Then he walked over, picked up the sign, and walked back to the store with brisk steps.

"Is this the guy you hired?" Han Lie chuckled.

Chao Yan rolled her eyes at him and said, "Do you know what it means to be a real person without revealing your true identity? You may not be able to defeat him."

"Then let's have a competition?" Han Lie stretched his muscles, as if he was serious. Chao Yan immediately crossed her arms and made a cross sign, mentioning that he had promised to introduce clients to her. She asked how many clients he had found. Han Lie told her not to worry, he would definitely bring people to support her on the opening day.

At this time, Feicui came out again and called Chaoyan away. Han Lie called Chaoyan again and asked her if she was free tomorrow and introduced two big clients to her. Chaoyan made an OK gesture, and Han Lie imitated her and returned the same gesture.

……

The next day, when Mu Tianling was about to go out, Eunuch Wu came to tell him that Chao Yan's store would open next month, and casually mentioned that Han Lie would introduce customers to her and bring people to show his support. Hearing this, his expression changed subtly. Eunuch Wu asked him if he wanted to send a gift, but he didn't answer and left with Qian Feng and Fei Yu.

After the carriage left the palace, Mu Tianling temporarily asked the driver to change the route without telling the reason.

When the carriage turned into the street where Chao Yankai's shop was located, Mu Tianling asked the coachman to stop the carriage, pulled aside the curtain and took a far look at the shop in front, then lowered the curtain and asked the coachman to turn around.

Qian Feng asked, "Your Highness, don't you want to go over and take a look?" As usual, there was no answer, and Qian Feng sighed.

After arriving at the Jiuxing Division, Mu Tianling showed concern for Constable Yu's love life for the first time and asked him if he had a girl he liked.

Captain Yu was completely confused. This question came so suddenly that he even doubted whether he had heard it wrong.

Mu Tianling casually mentioned that a rouge shop would open on a certain street next month. Although he didn't say it explicitly, the subtext was that Captain Yu could go there and buy something for the girl he liked to show his support on the opening day.

Captain Yu knew that the store was opened by Chao Yan and immediately understood what was going on. However, he had no plans to get married at the moment, but he would go to support the store on the opening day.

Mu Tianling casually asked, "Has anyone got married here recently?"

Captain Yu understood and immediately went to look for potential clients to show their support.

……

Chaoyan had just finished counting the flowers that Boss Liang had sent when a servant came to find her. He was Han Lie's servant, and he came to take her to meet a big client.

Chaoyan followed the servant to a teahouse, and then to the door of a private room on the second floor. The servant knocked on the door and reported, and a maid came to open the door and led Chaoyan in, and the servant said goodbye first.

When Chaoyan saw the person sitting inside, she was a little surprised. She didn't expect that the big client Han Lie was going to introduce to her would be Miss Shang Er.

In addition to Shang Qingrong, there was another girl inside.

Before Chao Yan recognized the other person, the other person recognized her first.

"Are you the second brother's sweetheart?"

Chao Yan was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect the little girl to ask so directly. She immediately clarified, "I'm not. You misunderstood."

"I saw you last time at Hua Ninglu."

Asagao: “……?” When did it happen? . . . . .

"Second brother lied to me and said he didn't know you. Why did you hide from him at that time?"

Chaoyan: “……?” Is this true?

She tried to think back, and then she remembered that she had taken the rouge she made to Hua Ninglu to find a colleague to evaluate it. When she was leaving, she happened to meet Han Lie and a girl coming in. She thought the two of them had some relationship, but it turned out that they were brother and sister. She didn't know if it was the third, fourth or fifth lady...

"Why do you have so many questions? It's like interrogating a criminal?" Shang Qingrong joked with a smile.

Chao Yan immediately changed the subject and showed the two the four boxes of rouge samples she brought.

Han Min's attention was successfully attracted by the unique rouge boxes. She picked up a box and looked at it, then opened the lid. A faint fragrance floated out, which was very pleasant. She handed it to Shang Qingrong to see, and Chao Yan introduced the formula and efficacy of the box to the two of them.

After hearing Chao Yan say that it has whitening effect, Han Min became more interested and asked Chao Yan what effect the other three boxes have. After listening to Chao Yan's introduction, Han Min wanted to try the effect herself. Chao Yan picked up a little with a bamboo stick and applied it on the back of her hand, then gently spread it for her, and asked her to put her two hands together for comparison. Han Min could not see much difference.

Chao Yan praised her fair skin and recommended a moisturizing rouge to her. She also praised Shang Qingrong's good skin and recommended a refreshing and moisturizing rouge to her.

Han Min asked Chaoyan what kind of rouge and powder she used on a daily basis, and the three of them soon started chatting.

It turns out that skin care products are the golden key for girls to successfully open friendships.

After getting to know each other, Han Min asked Chao Yan why she wanted to open a store and do business. Chao Yan gave a simple answer: to make money. Han Min asked her how much money she wanted to make, a question Chao Yan had never thought about.

When Chaoyan was thinking about how much money she should make, Han Min asked her another important question.

"Do you like my second brother?"

Chao Yan was stunned for a moment, then asked back: "Do you have someone you like?"

Han Min smiled slyly, "I won't tell you."

Chao Yan copied her words and said, "Then I won't tell you either."

Han Min smiled slyly again, "Then you are admitting that you like Second Brother, so you are too embarrassed to say it."

Chao Yan: “…” This is just specious talk, okay…

After gossiping about Chao Yan, Han Min's gossip target changed to Shang Qingrong, "When will Sister Shang and Brother Wen get married?"

When Chao Yan heard the big news, her eyes lit up.

Shang Qingrong blushed shyly, pretending not to hear, and stood up to go back. Han Min hushed to Chao Yan to signal her to keep it a secret, Chao Yan nodded, and Han Min left with Shang Qingrong.
