I opened a shopping mall in Xihuan

It's a pity that Hei Zi can't speak, and he can't defend himself.

Hearing what Les said, Youxia was quite used to seeing the little black panther lying in the den, so she had no objection.

This day was busy looking for a place to shoot posters, and both of them were a little tired. After You Xia finished his work, the two of them lay down on the bed early.

Turn off the lights, and the field of vision is plunged into darkness.

Without the little snoring of the dragon cub, the room tonight seemed extraordinarily quiet.

You Xia was lying flat on the bed, turning over from time to time to look at his side, making sure that Les was still the human form of Les, so that he would relax from the bottom of his heart.

After tossing and turning like this several times, Les noticed something was wrong with him, and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

You Xia hesitated for a moment, then said, "You won't suddenly change back tonight, will you?"

Rice was silent for a few seconds, and said calmly: "Do you want me to change back?"

"Of course I don't want to." You Xia turned around, and his eyes fell on the outline of the other side's face outlined by the white moonlight, "Of course it's not because the dragon is bad. Although your young dragon form is a bit noisy, most of you She was very obedient and obedient, but if I could choose, I would definitely choose you!"

Rice asked, "Why?"

"What's the reason? Think about the things you did when you were a dragon. Normal people know how to choose!" Youxia teased lightly.

Les said nothing.

After a while of silence, Youxia added softly: "I don't know why, but I feel that after you transform back, I feel much more at ease in everything I do."

As soon as these words came out, You Xia felt that the atmosphere became weird, he immediately turned back and lay down, closed his eyes and pretended to be sleepy, and said: "Okay, let's not chat, let's go to sleep."

Les turned sideways, his eyes lingered from the elf's sleepy eyes with shadowed eyelashes to the thin lips glowing faintly, and gently slid his Adam's apple.

Under the moonlight, a whitish luster flows everywhere on the golden bed, flowing from high points to sunken shadows.

Les lowered his eyes, his eyes fell on Youxia's long silver hair that spread naturally, and stared for a long time.

Immediately, he blinked, and lifted a lock of his black hair and superimposed it on top.

I don't know if it's because the reputation of the cosmetics store has spread, or because today is a unique business festival in Los Angeles. Since the opening of the new store in the morning, the business has been booming. Just a few big gift boxes.

Among them, the make-up artist's appointment list is also full, especially those with high skills like Jasmine and Love. The appointment list has even been scheduled until [-] pm. The appointment list was also lined up until noon, which was enough to show how much the merchants in Ross City attached importance to today's festival.

Mrs. Lucia has now formed the habit of coming to look at new products every morning, but today, apart from buying new products, there is also an important purpose to remind Youxia not to forget the costume dinner in the evening.

"I inquired about a big wine merchant. He is planning to sell a winery near the town of Pustead. The town of Pustead is not far from Los Angeles. If you want, I will introduce him to you at the dinner party. I know you." Madam Lucia said as soon as she met Youxia.

It has to be said that this is a clever social skill, she didn't directly ask You Xia to attend the banquet, but asked him to go at night, otherwise it would be too disappointing to her heart.

You Xia didn't intend to refuse at first, but when he heard about the manor he wanted, he naturally agreed, and asked by the way: "What do I need to prepare for the dinner?"

"Maybe, you can go to the clothing rental store at No. 18 Schlevoger Street, rent a set of clothes that you don't usually wear, and then make some matching clothes to participate in our drag party. Madam Lucia said expectantly.

"Any clothes are fine?"

"Yes, don't worry about being too weird or exaggerated, because you must not be exaggerated as a regular customer of our club. You must know that at last year's business festival party, a gentleman used magic to dress himself up as a monster in a whimsical way, almost Cause a riot."

When she said this, You Xia had a solid foundation and promised: "I will participate."

"The dinner starts at seven o'clock, don't miss it." Lucia asked again, and then she glanced at Les Hodge, who was standing quietly by the side, and said, "Mr. Hodge can come together, I welcome you Your arrival."

Les didn't say go or say no, he just nodded slightly.

Youxia found that whether it was Viscount Floyd yesterday or Mrs. Lucia today, although they all looked unfamiliar when they saw Rice, they all knew such a person, which is quite amazing. The silent good brother is so famous.

But then I thought about it, since Mrs. Lucia and Miss Hodge have such a good relationship, it's not surprising to know Rice.

After Mrs. Lucia left, Youxia was going to take Les back to the grocery store for class, and had a meal with August and Leomen by the way.

I just greeted Golo and asked him to watch more of the store's business. When he was about to go out, a mature female voice suddenly came.

"Les!"

The sound came from the right side. Youxia's first reaction when he heard the sound was to glance at Les. Seeing him turn around and look at the grooming products area on the right, he followed suit. Then he saw a man in tight-fitting clothes. A tall woman in a leather jacket, with long legs and thin waist, and a hot figure came over.

"Hey, it's really you!" The woman raised her eyebrows and walked in front of them with an arrogant and bright smile.

Youxia felt her eyes turn around her body, and soon fell on the face of Les next to him, and said with a bit of gloating: "I saw your portrait hanging in this store, and it's a bit uncomfortable. Can you believe it, how come you have fallen to the point where you have to rely on selling your beauty to support yourself?"

You Xia was a little surprised, he really didn't expect that being an advertising model here would be the same as selling beauty?

He turned his head to look at Rice, who had a cold expression on his face, as if he was indifferent to the woman's teasing.

You Xia took the initiative to ask him, "Who is this?"

"I'm his old friend." The woman answered first, her lips grinning, and her voice was loud.

Before Youxia could react, Les couldn't maintain his calm expression, and his tone of voice was rarely hurried: "Don't talk nonsense."

"Okay, okay, I wanted to be his girlfriend, but unfortunately, I didn't." The woman said calmly, "But I will continue to work hard in the future."

You Xia didn't want to stay longer for some reason, and asked again: "Is she your friend?"

Rice did not deny it, and introduced: "Her name is Mei Ya, she is a mercenary, and they participated in a battle together before."

"Hey, it seems that I was wrong!" Mei Ya's eyes turned around the two of them for a while, and she said in an ambiguous tone: "Les, not only are you doing well, but you also fell in love with a rich wooden man." Elf, I've heard of it, Xia Zhisen's big boss, how about it, don't you want to introduce some business to your friends?"

Rice didn't respond.

You Xia asked: "Do you still know me?"

"Of course, your Xia Zhisen's name has spread to many places with the running businessmen in Ross City. I came from Tar Town before, and I saw your Xia Zhisen printed on it in such a remote town hotel. Shampoo, toothpaste and toothbrush marked, don’t underestimate your influence.” Mei Ya curled her lips and said, suddenly she changed the subject: “However, you should also be careful, being too famous is not a good thing .”

Rice asked, "What do you mean?"

Mei Ya leaned against the counter, taking a moment to say: "I just finished shipping a batch of goods and came back from Ilan Country. I heard from the little boss there that the high society there suddenly became popular to wash their hair with a kind of rose water. , can wash out a lot of foam, and there are towels and toothbrushes for washing, which are very similar to what you Xia Zhisen sells, but they are not your Xia Zhisen products, and they are very expensive, and rarely go to the people , saying that it is exclusively for use by nobles.”

"Where did it come from?"

Mei Ya waved her hand: "I just heard it from someone while chatting, and I don't know exactly what happened."

You Xia suddenly understood, this is obviously a pirated product!

Being a fake and selling for more than the real thing is really balding.

In fact, before selling the goods to other caravans, You Xia expected this kind of ending.

It's normal for businessmen to imitate good things, but I didn't expect pirated copies to come so quickly. After all, the things he sells are not so easy to be copied and mass-produced in this world.

He had thought about it, even if there are really masters who can copy all his products, the raw materials and labor costs of the products will never be low. If there is a price war for quality, Xia Zhisen will definitely have a chance of winning .

But there will always be people who want to make a fortune and run away, just like the pirate who came out now, who only sells the goods to nobles. Enough money, you can run away.

But now, Youxia doesn't know those pirate dealers, and the distance between them is extremely long. The only way he can fight back is to find a few reliable agents, be it humans or dwarves, through these agents Sell ​​more and better products of Xiazhisen to other cities and countries as soon as possible.

At that time, Xia Zhisen's goods will be open to the whole continent. He wants to see whether his store unlocks the goods faster, or the pirates copy faster.

Among other things, can they copy the [-] shades of monochrome eyeshadow alone?

Thinking of the bald look of the pirates in order to study the sources of hundreds of different color numbers, You Xia felt a little dark.

He quickly came back to his senses and thanked Mei Ya: "Thank you for reminding me, I think I know what to do."

"It's just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning." Mei Ya smiled charmingly, then turned her head and raised her chin at Les: "Shouldn't we go to the pub for a drink when we meet old friends?"

Just as Les was about to refuse, Youxia quickly said, "Go, of course, but he doesn't have time today. If you don't have anything to do recently, why don't we make an appointment tomorrow night? I happen to have some business I want to talk to you about."

"Oh? Business..." Mei Ya seemed to understand something, she tossed her hair and said, "Then it's settled, your Excellency will continue to work, and I will continue to visit your shop. There seem to be many good things here. "

After parting from Mei Ya, the two walked out of the cosmetics store and chatted while walking along the shadowy human-shaped street.

As soon as Rice went out, he asked, "What business are you talking about with her?"

You Xia didn't answer directly, but asked, "Is your friend reliable?"

"not bad."

"Is she a mercenary?"

"Well, he is a small captain of the Mercenary Alliance, quite capable."

You Xia asked: "What kind of business does she usually accept?"

"Ordinary ones are escorting goods, and sometimes accepting tasks issued by nobles, and the bigger ones are fighting weapons and going to the battlefield." Rice explained.

"You met her on the battlefield?"

"Yeah." Rice nodded, "She saved me once."

"Ah, that's no wonder, I wonder that you are not the kind of person who easily makes friends with others." You Xia said, feeling a little sour in his tone.
