"Master, what are you talking about? Xiaohuan is just happy to see you." Xiaohuan put on a smile and winked at Jiang Hai, her eyes clearly showing her affection.
Jiang Hai twitched his lips, "Stop messing around, Master. I'm already married. It's frivolous of you to hit someone with the ball. I'm here to do serious business."
"What's the big deal about getting married? We can get married a few more times. Master, whatever song you want to hear, Xiaohuan will play it for you." Xiaohuan, who had opened up her Ren and Du meridians, handled the situation with ease.
"I don't want to listen, you're just talking nonsense. I'm going to find the madam." Jiang Hai refused directly.
At this time, the madam came downstairs, fanning herself to entertain the guests.
"Oh, the young master is here. Congratulations on your wedding."
The madam's name was Chunyan. When Jiang Hai opened this building, he didn't want to bother with it so he just changed her name backwards.
Although Chunyan is a brothel owner, she is actually not old. She is about 30 years old and has a good appearance. She is only a few points inferior to Jiang Hai's stepmother, and can be considered a beauty.
"Sister Yan, let's go upstairs and talk business."
Jiang Hai liked to call her Sister Lao Yan, which was a combination of the names of the brothel owner Chun Yan. Chun Yan always liked to tease Jiang Hai, so he called her this in retaliation, either Sister Lao Yan or Old Pervert.
So the group followed him upstairs, Chunyan did not forget to tease Jiang Hai while walking,
"Master, you haven't been to Yanchunlou for so long. I miss you so much. Can you give me one?"
"You old pervert, I'm not the same as before. Be careful or I'll really kill you." Jiang Hai straightened his back.
"Ouch," Chunyan was about to continue teasing Jiang Hai when Xiaohuan rushed forward.
"Master, please let Mom go. You can deal with me." Xiaohuan pushed Chunyan away, looking expectant.
Jiang Hai was speechless. This girl was really good at finding opportunities. Jiang Hai looked at Xiao Huan, who was not much older than Jiang Xin. After thinking for a while, he decided that he had to talk to this girl about life and ideals, otherwise her love-brain would not be cured.
"Xiaohuan, come with me." Jiang Hai walked to the front and waved at her.
"Oh, okay." Xiaohuan was delighted and followed, thinking to herself, maybe the young master has figured it out, that would be great.
Jiang Hai asked Chunyan to take her people to the living room on the second floor to wait, and he took Xiaohuan to his suite.
When they entered the room, Xiao Huan wanted to pounce on him again, but Jiang Hai put his hand on her forehead.
"Stop, be normal and sit down." Jiang Hai pointed at the table and chairs.
"Master, do we have to do it here?" Xiaohuan asked shyly.
"..." Jiang Hai was really impressed by this guy, "Sit down and listen to me."
"Okay, Master."
"Xiaohuan, if I remember correctly, you should be only 15, right?" Jiang Hai asked.
"Yes, what's wrong, young master? It's okay. You can get married at 15."
"..." Jiang Hai wanted to hit the wall, but he calmed down and started to teach.
"Xiao Huan, what is your dream?"
"Marry the young master."
"Then what?"
"Marry the young master."
“…”
Jiang Hai was at a loss. It seemed that the trick of persuading her gently wouldn't work. This girl was too stubborn. After thinking for a while, Jiang Hai continued,
"Forget it, let me put it this way, you are only a few years older than my Jiang Xin. Seeing you is like seeing a younger sister. I really can't bring myself to do this to you, do you understand?
So you should think about other things, such as focusing on your career and becoming the best pianist in our Xincheng.
Think about it, by then Master Xiaohuan's appearance fee will be pure cash, which we can never spend all. We can never spend all of it, okay?
Do you think you feel a little excited?"
With an appearance of being greedy for money, Jiang Hai tentatively guided Xiaohuan in this direction.
Xiao Huan raised her head and blinked, thinking about the scene Jiang Hai had just described, and shook her head.
"I'm not excited. I'm more excited to see the young master than to see golden gold."
“…”
Jiang Hai felt a sense of powerlessness rising in his heart. This girl was even more difficult to deal with than Cai'er. It was such a headache.
"It seems like you want to force me to use my ultimate move." Jiang Hai stood up and walked into the compartment at the back.
Xiao Huan's eyes lit up, is this going to be pushed down? She was so excited that she followed him in. She asked expectantly,
"What's the master's ultimate move?"
Jiang Hai pointed at the bed with a serious face and said,
"See that bed? My wife and I made love the second time we met. We've known each other for several years, and I haven't touched you. So when it comes to love, you still have to choose the right person. You and I are not suitable, so give up."
A thunderstorm struck Xiao Huan's heart. Was this a murderous act? Xiao Huan was stunned, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Wow... Young Master is a bastard. Wow..." Xiaohuan covered her face with her hands and burst into tears. She ran out of the room, ready to faint from crying for the ninth and ninety-nineth time.
Jiang Hai felt sad as he watched her leaving. This girl was even more stubborn than Cai'er. She kept thinking about him and it would only delay him.
"Oh, Xiaohuan, young master, I can only work like a slave in the next life to repay your love." Jiang Hai sighed.
Going down to the second floor, a group of young ladies were waiting in the living room. Jiang Hai then told Chunyan about the upgrade of Yanchunlou.
After a lot of explanation, Chunyan understood most of it and could probably understand what Jiang Hai meant. But there was a hurdle in her heart that she couldn't get over. She asked weakly,
"Master, you said this place won't accept guests anymore, and yet you're still organizing free tours? Doesn't that mean we won't have any income at all?"
“This is just the first step. You don’t understand, free is the most expensive.
The performance is just to increase our visibility. For us young ladies, our identities are no longer the same as before. We need to be built into folk art masters, dance masters, and stars, do you understand?
Then, we'll go back and say hello to Huang Haitang, keep up with the advertising and promotion, and once we've cultivated a fan base, we can just use the sickle to harvest the leeks."
Jiang Hai spoke with confidence and ease.
Chunyan was still very unconfident, and there was a hint of hesitation in her eyes.
"Old Sister Yan, do you really not trust this young master?
Hey, let me analyze this for you. How much money can this little shabby building make in a year? Two hundred thousand taels, right?
Once we young ladies become masters, stars, and superstars, it won’t be too much to earn at least 10,000 taels a year for an advertising endorsement, and it will be easy for big stores to charge tens of thousands taels.
Just imagine collecting money from ten or eight families. It's not as easy as dancing and playing music for people here every day, and the income is higher.
There is also an income from appearance fees. When the wealthy and famous people hold banquets or events, they shouldn’t take away another portion of it.
And what you don't understand is that from now on, we will be much more popular than the courtesans in other brothels, because you can't see our performances on ordinary days, you can only see them if you pay to invite us.
Rich people can't help but compare themselves. So-and-so invited a group of girls today. The scarcer they are, the more valuable they are. I guarantee you can bid five or ten times more than other brothels, no problem.
Jiang Hai gave Chunyan a shot of cardiotonic. Chunyan felt that this was a good idea and it was feasible, so she nodded in understanding.
