Rong Qingqing was busy until evening because all the dresses in the shop had been sold out, and the order for custom-made clothes would be booked until the end of next month. She had no choice but to close the shop early.
Turning around, she was surprised to see Shangguan Yanran still helping out at the shop, and she was deeply moved.
"Yanran, why are you still here? I thought you had already left." She walked over with a smile.
"I didn't expect business to be so good today. You seem quite busy." Shangguan Yanran smiled and sat down on a chair next to her.
"I didn't expect it either, but thank you so much for today, you've helped me a lot." Rong Qingqing poured her a glass of water.
"I didn't really help much." Shangguan Yanran shrugged, took the teacup, then winked and smiled. "But if you really want to thank me, just treat me to a meal next time. I heard that Wangchunlou has a lot of new dishes, all of which I've never heard of or eaten before." She immediately perked up when it came to food.
Rong Qingqing chuckled. She glanced at the sky outside and decisively said, "It's getting late anyway, so let's make the most of this time. I'll invite you to Wangchunlou for dinner now." With that, she instructed Xiao Tao to go to Wangchunlou and tell Manager Xu to ask for a private room and also to reserve two tables for dine-in.
Today, Manager Liu, the embroiderer, and the shop assistants were all extremely busy, being bossed around by the ladies and young misses. They were indeed working very hard. Even the servants temporarily called in by the Marquis's mansion contributed a lot. Anyway, she earned quite a bit of money today, so she planned to treat everyone.
Upon hearing that they were going to dine at Wangchunlou, the servants of the Marquis's residence and the shop assistants were overjoyed and very excited.
Although Wangchunlou is not the most upscale restaurant in the capital, it is still of a mid-to-high standard, and ordinary people simply cannot afford it.
Today, however, they have the opportunity to have a meal there. How could they not be excited?
Suddenly I felt that it didn't matter if I was a little more tired.
The young lady (the old lady) is such a kind person, so considerate of them!
As the group came out of the shop, they bumped into Chen Ji, the shopkeeper across the street, who was peeking out from the door, seemingly trying to find out something.
She probably didn't expect everyone to suddenly appear, and when she saw them, she was extremely embarrassed.
She didn't know Rong Qingqing at first, let alone that she was the owner of the shop, but recently, seeing her frequently appear at Jinxiu Clothing Shop, she began to suspect something.
Unexpectedly, Jinxiu Clothing Store, which was on the verge of bankruptcy, suddenly came back to life. She had observed the store all day and had never seen such a booming business as Jinxiu Clothing Store.
Most importantly, all the customers who go in are either rich or noble. It is said that a dress inside sells for fifty taels of silver, which is ridiculously expensive. But the business is so good that all the dresses inside are sold out.
Originally, Chen's Clothing Shop's business was doing very well, but today, after being impacted by Jinxiu Clothing Shop, all the customers rushed over to watch the spectacle. Those who could afford it rushed to buy, while those who couldn't bear to spend money stood and watched the excitement for a long time, but never entered Chen's Clothing Shop again.
Their Chen Ji Clothing Shop's business has plummeted to its lowest point today.
She was seething with hatred, but there was nothing she could do.
She glanced at Rong Qingqing discreetly, then returned to Chen's Clothing Shop as if nothing had happened.
Rong Qingqing saw her, raised an eyebrow, but didn't take her seriously. She led a group of people to Wangchun Tower.
To Rong Qingqing's surprise, upon arriving at Wangchun Tower, she unexpectedly encountered Xie Jingrun, whom she hadn't seen for several days, at the entrance.
