Cheng Yue was so excited to see that many powerful and influential ladies and young women from Donglin City had come that she blushed and walked down the steps toward Xiao Yunying.

"Yun Ying, Yun Wan, Miss Chen, you've all come. It's cold today, come inside and warm up."

Xiao Yunying was pleased to see so many people on the first day of business: "There are so many people inside, we won't go in. We've already given the gift to your staff, so don't say we came empty-handed."

Chen Yuanyao said with a smile, "Sister Cheng Yue, please don't call me Miss Chen so formally. Just call me Yuanyao. It will seem more intimate. That way, when I come to Jinxiuge to make clothes in the future, I can tell the shop assistants that I know your boss and try to get on your good side so they can give me a discount."

Cheng Yue also liked this lively girl very much, but because of her status, she couldn't show too much intimacy, lest the other girl feel that she was trying to curry favor.

Now that she's saying this, it means she's also inclined to be close to me, so there's nothing to worry about.

Cheng Yue leaned closer to her and whispered, "Don't be so polite with me. I'm often in the shop. If you want any clothes, you don't need to ask the shop assistant. Just come to me and I'll let you skip the line."

“I took Cheng Yue’s words very seriously.”

“Let Yunying be our witness, Bao Zhen.”

Snowflakes began to fall from the sky. Xiao Yunying glanced at the crowded people in the shop and said to Cheng Yue, "There are so many people here, we won't go in. We can't be of much help anyway. You should go in and entertain the ladies and young women. We'll be leaving now."

Cheng Yue glanced back at the store; there were indeed quite a few people inside.

As the New Year approaches, ordinary families with the means want to buy some new clothes, not to mention wealthy and powerful families who don't lack money.

"Then I won't keep you any longer. I'll talk to you again when I have time later."

A gust of wind blew by, and Xiao Yunying nodded, shrinking her neck: "Then we'll be going now."

The three of them walked side by side along the roadside. They had already planned that after delivering the congratulatory gift, they would go to Shijinfang for a short rest.

Not far from the shop, I saw Luo Sheng and Chen Yuancheng standing at the entrance, one on the left and one on the right like door gods.

Xiao Yunying walked over and said to Chen Yuancheng, "It's snowing and the wind is picking up. Why are you standing at the door like this? What if you catch a cold? You know you're not feeling well, yet you still don't take care of yourself. Don't come complaining to me if you get sick and need to take medicine."

Chen Yuancheng wasn't angry after being scolded. He said gently, "I just saw that Young Master Luo was waiting for you at the door, and I thought it might be impolite for me to go in, so I waited here with you."

Luo Sheng was already in a bad mood because Xiao Yunying's first words upon arriving were about caring for Chen Yuancheng. Hearing him subtly trying to sow discord between himself and Xiao Yunying made him even angrier. He glared at him in shock and anger.
