Yunling also felt a pang of pity, but when she thought of Manager Zhou's usual obsequious, smiling, and calculating manner, she couldn't help but chuckle at his comical actions.

"Look at me, I'm in such a miserable state, and you can still laugh. I've helped you so much, but you don't have a kind heart and are just busy doing nothing."

Manager Zhou wanted to say that he would never provide Yunling with a venue again, but he thought that this matter was in his own interest, so he should not say anything rash. Therefore, he quickly stopped himself from saying the words that were about to come out.

Yunling had no idea that Manager Zhou had this side to him. It's said that sick people crave care and love the most.

Just as everyone mentions maternal love and writes about it, they will never forget how their mothers carried them to the hospital when they were sick and had a fever, and how they would carry that tilted umbrella when it rained.

"I will always remember your kindness, shopkeeper. When I return from Bianjing, I will definitely give you a gift."

"You're going to Bianjing???"

Shopkeeper Zhou excitedly sat up, but the sudden pull on his waist made him cry out in pain, and he slowly lay back down, continuing:

"Going to Bianjing at this critical juncture, are you not planning to do business? What was the point of all your previous efforts?"

Yunling responded with a smile:

"Shopkeeper, you speak too soon. My purpose in going to Bianjing this time is to pursue this business. Thank you for your concern, but I don't know how much this order is worth."

Manager Zhou felt a little relieved, but he was still uneasy. This place was much farther from Bianjing than going to Qingcheng or the two lower towns. He estimated that he wouldn't be able to return until next year.

Logically speaking, it's not a big deal, but if you don't take advantage of the current momentum in business, and orders placed this year won't be shipped until next year, it does dampen the enthusiasm a bit. However, this young girl has many considerations when she does things, and she probably already has a plan in mind, so he doesn't need to worry about her.

"There are quite a lot of orders. On the day of the fashion show alone, there were signs of five hundred to eight hundred orders. In the past two days, quite a few young ladies have come to inquire, probably more than a thousand."

Manager Zhou rubbed his aching lower back and tried to persuade him with kind words.

"However, the young lady did not disclose the unit price of this new product in advance, nor did she specify a delivery date. So, once she finishes making it, it's unknown how many coins she will actually make."

Shopkeeper Zhou is right about a problem. If we take advantage of the current hype, even a slightly higher price might attract most people. But once the rush to buy fades, people will inevitably stop thinking about spending a penny.

However, this fashion show has proven that there is a market for bras and panties. Even if half of the finished products are not purchased by customers, they can be made up for elsewhere. It just depends on whether you dare to take a gamble.

Seeing that Yunling remained silent, Manager Zhou feared he had spoken too harshly. After all, although Yunling was clever and resourceful, she hadn't experienced much and was prone to setbacks. So, he tried to encourage her from a different angle:

"However, young lady, this new item is something I've never heard of or seen before. The young ladies in wealthy families compete to wear the latest styles, and they all have the best embroiderers in the city make new clothes in advance. Many of them wait three to five years. You won't have to worry about selling this new item, young lady."

"Moreover, young ladies come to inquire about the new products every day. I estimate that the number of orders will be more than just one thousand. Also, if those people like wearing them, they will naturally repurchase. At that time, we can make a fortune. Young ladies, you should prepare more."

Yunling nodded, saying nothing more, only uttering one sentence.

"I hope everything goes as Manager Zhou has said."

"No problem, no problem."

Having obtained a rough estimate, Yunling was about to head to the next place when, just as she was about to say goodbye to Manager Zhou, a person she knew very well squeezed up behind her.

Pei Lin had initially found it inconvenient to go to the clinic at Shengfu Restaurant, as it was so crowded that it was impossible to squeeze in, and he was full of complaints. However, seeing Yun Ling there, those complaints naturally disappeared without a trace.

"You little bug, what are you doing here?"

"Where else would I be if not here, a businessman like myself? But what are you doing here, you tiny little thing?"

Pei Lin lifted his medical kit, glanced at Manager Zhou with his chin, and said helplessly:

"What else do you think I could be doing here?"

"Okay, I have something to do, so I'll be going now."

Pei Lin grabbed him, "Why are you leaving? Are you shy?"

Yunling's lips twitched. This person was perfectly fine, so why did he suddenly have a problem with his brain? As the saying goes, a doctor cannot heal himself, and it seems there's some truth to that. Otherwise, this person wouldn't have said such a thing.

"I have urgent business to attend to, and I don't want to waste my time with you."

Pei Lin still wouldn't let go. After their last separation, it had been quite a struggle for him to see her again, and he had to at least have a little chat with her, otherwise, the meeting would have been for nothing.

"Give me a hand."

"I...I'll lend you a hand? What are you?"

"Putting aside what I am, Manager Zhou got into this state because of you. You should take some responsibility, right? I just asked you to lend a hand, and you're not happy about it?"

This short woman was determined to be morally corrupt, as that bastard had eaten a weight and was determined to put her on a moral high ground. Although she was not a very moral person, Manager Zhou had indeed complained about her lack of kindness, so she had no choice but to stay.

When Pei Lin saw that Yun Ling had stopped arguing with him, he knew that she had been persuaded to stay by his clever words. Naturally, he was happy and ordered her to grind the herbs, while he removed the gauze from Manager Zhou's body, took his pulse, and wrote out a prescription.

Shopkeeper Zhou saw Pei Lin's silly grin. She looked nothing like this when she last came. She was truly a graceful lady, the object of every gentleman's affection. He just wondered if Yun Ling could see through her thoughts.

That's difficult. Young Master Lu is handsome and refined. He's a shrewd businessman, a true dragon among men. He and Yunling have endless topics to discuss in business.

However, this person is skilled in medicine and has considerable expertise in diagnosis and medication. It's not surprising that Yunling, who is already busy with business, might want to find someone knowledgeable in medicine to discuss medical topics.

Not to mention that Yunling has special abilities, the strength in her hands was unintentionally developed from hammering cow back tendons or pressing sheep wool. So, she was able to quickly pound out such a small amount of herbs.
