"The market is open today, new comics are out!"
"Comics? What are comics?"
"You wouldn't know, would you? Miss Hu's storybooks always sell out!"

Chapter 484 Thirty Percent Profit
Mu Qing said with a dark face: "Be honest!"
In order to avoid being beaten, the boy had to stop talking, but he looked at Hu Xiner eagerly.
Those beautiful almond-shaped eyes blinked, and even though they were heartless, they were still charming, not to mention that they were full of expectation and coquettishness at this moment.
Zhao Si is a smart man. Not only is he good-looking, he is also very aware of his advantage and knows how to use it to take advantage of women.
His eyes were full of elegance and were the most standard phoenix eyes Hu Xiner had ever seen. However, she didn't know why such a beautiful boy was given such an ugly name as Zhao Si.
Hu Xiner looked at it for a while before slowly coming back to her senses.
She felt amused when she saw her husband getting jealous. Even if she was a beast, how could she attack such a young man?
She coughed lightly and said, "Be honest."
Zhao Si nodded obediently, then asked cunningly, "If I behave myself, will Fairy Sister teach me the art of business?"
"What? Don't you think selling comics is a low-class business?" Hu Xiner asked with a deliberately stern face.
Zhao Si quickly shook his head. "No, no, no, it's me who's the despicable one. It's my greed that ruined such a good business. The comics in the shop are all rare treasures. It's all my fault for being obsessed with making some fake and shoddy products!"
As he spoke, regret appeared in his eyes.
Although he was hostile to Hu Xiner at the beginning, he was able to distinguish the good from the bad in her words.
The business tips Hu Xiner just mentioned were based on her own experience. He was enlightened by them and really wished he could start over again.
If he were given another chance, he would definitely not produce shoddy works. Instead, he would directly negotiate a good price with the comic shop and then sell the comics to Qingzhou at a high price.
That way, you can have the support of the eldest princess and make money at the same time. Why not do it?
However, he felt deep down that this business was not worth doing and he only wanted to make a quick buck rather than do a long-term business.
Therefore, they chose to use the lowest cost and make the worst product, thinking that they could make huge profits, but what they got was just the end of being on the verge of bankruptcy.
Thinking of the debt he still had behind him, the boy's eyes turned red: "Fairy sister, please teach me, I really am almost at the point of having no way out."
"Don't pretend to cry, otherwise others will think I'm bullying you." Hu Xin'er was a little soft-hearted, but when she saw Mu Qing's faint eyes, she quickly changed her tone very seriously.
Mu Qing nodded when he heard this: "As a man, what's there to cry about?"
Zhao Si lowered his eyes, and a look of thought flashed across his eyes. He felt that Hu Xin'er would take extra care of him simply because he was good-looking.
This sister who is well versed in business is most likely a low-key wealthy woman, and the handsome young man who is holding her now is either her husband or her kept gigolo!
It is natural for rich women to love handsome young men.
Therefore, Zhao Si felt that he could give it a try with his good looks.
There's nothing shameful about being a gigolo, especially since this rich lady is so cute and adorable.
He then raised his eyes to look at Hu Xin'er: "I understand. I will listen to you, sister."
The little boy looked so well-behaved and cute, completely different from the angry boy just now.
The wealthy woman in his eyes was indeed moved by his well-behaved appearance and smiled with ulterior motives: "Want to learn the Business Sutra?"
"Yeah!" Zhao Si nodded repeatedly.
"Then let me ask you, how much cash do you have on hand now?" The smile on Hu Xiner's lips couldn't help but widen.
Zhao Si didn't know what he was about to face, so he said in confusion: "I have no money, and I'm in debt..."
He looked at Hu Xiner with grievance.
Hu Xin'er's face changed: "What? Not a penny? How is this possible?"
Seeing her indifferent expression, Zhao Si quickly changed his tone, "There are still about a hundred taels left, for emergency use. If you want, just take it, and consider it your apprenticeship fee!"
Wow! He's quite generous.
Hu Xiner began to look upon this flexible and capable young man with a new respect.
She thought for a moment and said, "Do you have any extra money? This little bit is not enough to buy my idea."
Zhao Si shook his head: "No more."
Hu Xin'er turned and walked out: "Husband, strip him and see how much silver he has on him. Oh, and don't let go of his socks!"
Less than a quarter of an hour later, Zhao Si could only sit on the ground with his clothes in disarray.
Hu Xin'er looked at the scattered silver notes in her hand and couldn't help but feel relieved: "You are quite capable. When you were about to go bankrupt, you still had more than a thousand taels of silver notes in your hand."
Zhao Si said with a sad face, "All my money is here. If I don't have it, I won't even have enough to eat! Fairy sister, please be kind and don't make things difficult for me."
"Don't talk like I'm robbing you of your banknotes!" Hu Xin'er counted the banknotes with a smile on her face, and at the same time emphasized, "I'll say it again, all of your profits are earned through piracy. I should charge you, otherwise..."
She smiled threateningly: "Hehe, otherwise you will have to meet me in the prison under the nose of the eldest princess!"
She didn't take all the silver, but only took one thousand taels.
Zhao Si kept begging. He knew that he had met a tough opponent today. A woman like Hu Xiner who was devoted to business was the most difficult to deal with. He was afraid!
However, one thousand taels was too much and he couldn't afford it!
He pleaded pitifully, "Sister, please understand. This is all my fault, but I really don't have much money left now. If I lose what I have, I won't have the capital to make a comeback!"
Hu Xin'er originally wanted to ask: What does it have to do with me if you never make a comeback?
However, seeing the young man's pleading look with red eyes, she felt a little soft-hearted and said, "Actually, it's very simple to make a comeback. You just need to produce some books of normal quality and then use promotional methods to bundle and sell these low-quality books."
"But book production is not something that can be done overnight, and I don't have any special skills. What if I starve to death during this period?" Zhao Si was a little panicked when he saw that she was not joking with him, but really wanted to take his money.
He looked at the silver in Hu Xin'er's hand, his heart bleeding. "Sister, can you please not take my cash for now? How about this? I'll do as you say, and when I make money, I'll give you 30% of the monthly profit. How about that?"
Hu Xiner thought for a moment and decided that if she took the 30% profit, it would be equivalent to investing in Mu Xin Comics Shop.
