Chapter 485: Blackmail Success
In the long run, as long as Mu Xin's comics make money, she will be able to obtain a steady stream of her 30% dividends.
It’s just that…it sounds strange that the comic book author invested in a pirated store.
Moreover, she and Mu Qing were now going to a small mountain village to recuperate, so it would be better for them to just take the money and live happily ever after.
She shook her head decisively: "No."
Zhao Si had tears in his eyes, about to fall.
Mu Qing suddenly said in a deep voice, "We are the eldest princess's people. We are not here to help you make money! My wife is willing to teach you a skill. It is your blessing and she is kind. You need to understand your identity."
In his eyes, Zhao Si's tearful and pleading behavior was just taking advantage of the situation and taking advantage of Hu Xin'er's soft heart to seek benefits for himself.
So he specifically reminded him.
These words contained a strong warning. Although they seemed merciless, they were the truth.
They had never met each other before. If Zhao Si had not had evil intentions and made pirated comics and happened to run into these two people, how could he have ended up in this situation?
He suffered the loss entirely out of his own fault.
If Hu Xin'er was really the eldest princess's man, and came to Qingzhou to investigate pirated merchants, she would find that the young man not only produced pirated comics privately, but also ruined the reputation of Mu Xin Comics Shop. It would be a good thing if his ashes were not scattered.
Not to mention, each of the ideas Hu Xiner came up with for the young man is worth a fortune.
The young man was so aggrieved after being scolded by him that he dared not say anything and just looked at Hu Xiner quietly.
Hu Xiner also hardened her heart after her husband's reminder.
It was a close call. I was almost morally kidnapped by Zhao Si.
Although Zhao Si's situation was miserable, it was all caused by himself.
She is not his parents. She just gave him some advice because he was young and good-looking. There is really no need for her to be responsible for his livelihood.
So, she happily stuffed all the banknotes into her purse: "This one thousand taels of silver will be considered as the licensing fee you bought from the Princess! From now on, we will not pursue your previous mistakes, but from now on, you must behave yourself and be careful in what you do. And you can't fool people under the name of Mu Xin Comics Shop anymore!"
Zhao Si was dumbfounded: "Sister, are you really not going to care about me?"
Looking at the two men walking away, he held the remaining dozens of taels of silver, feeling like crying but unable to shed tears.
Was it an illusion? Why did he feel like he was being robbed?
Suddenly, there was a bang at the door.
A plaque with the words "Mu Xin Comics Shop" written on it fell from the sky and broke into pieces on the ground.
But after walking out of the shop, Mu Qing didn't even turn his head back. A gust of strong wind shot out from his fingertips, knocking the plaque down directly.
Seeing that no one was around, Hu Xin'er happily took her husband's hand and thought, "Husband, what do you think we should buy with this 1,000 taels of silver?"
Mu Qing rubbed her head and said, "I'll listen to you, madam. But why did you give advice to Zhao Si?"
Hu Xin'er smiled and tilted her head to look at him: "Jealous again?"
Mu Qing shook his head decisively: "No!"
"That's jealousy." Hu Xiner muttered softly, pretending not to notice Mu Qing's body stiffened for a moment because his thoughts were exposed.
Mu Qing explained, "I just feel that the young man looks like an ungrateful person. Even if we give him some advice, he might not be grateful to us. What if he makes a lot of money with this idea and then steals Mu Xin's comic book business? What will we do then?"
Although the words sounded sour, they made a lot of sense.
Hu Xin'er thought for a moment and said, "You're right. The Princess has no plans to expand for the time being, and the people in Qingzhou are quite far from the capital, so they're not well-informed. If Zhao Si's comic book shop develops, it could very well become the dominant force in Qingzhou."
By then, his pirated comic shop will become a local tyrant, which will hinder the expansion of the eldest princess and lead to rampant piracy and counterfeiting.
But...
The corners of her lips curled up slightly: "There's nothing to worry about. After all, I just moved my mouth. Whether he can do it and to what extent he can do it is his own business."
When it comes to business, success doesn't come just from having ideas and creativity.
Zhao Si wanted to make the fake look real, and the first problem was the start-up capital.
She was unconsciously thinking about the operation of the comic book shop, and Mu Qing suddenly stopped.
The sun is shining brightly today, dispelling the chill of late autumn and making people feel warm.
Mu Qing's slender hand brushed across her hair, and he felt that no matter how bright the sunshine was, it was not as bright and warm as the smile of the woman in front of him.
Looking at her confident look, he couldn't help but feel his heart beating fast, and he quickly kissed Hu Xiner on the side of the face.
Hu Xin'er was surprised: "What's wrong?"
Mu Qing chuckled softly as he held her hand, intertwining his fingers with hers. The haze in his heart also dissipated. "Just now, there was a fallen leaf on your head."
"Oh." Hu Xin'er had not yet recovered from the sudden kiss.
She followed him blankly for two steps, then suddenly said in embarrassment, "What are you doing in public?"
Mu Qing asked nonchalantly, "What did I do?"
Hu Xin'er choked up and looked around guiltily. Although the alley was remote, there were many houses on both sides, all of which were inhabited by ordinary people.
Sometimes you can hear the sounds of chopping wood, carrying water, and beating and scolding children.
And Mu Qing was stealing the fragrance openly in such a situation where he could be discovered at any time!
It's not impossible, but this is too sudden, isn't it? She didn't even have time to react before it was over.
She seized on the loophole in Mu Qing's words and said, "You just said there were leaves above my head, but there are no trees on either side. How could there be fallen leaves?"
She glared at Mu Qing like an angry kitten.
Mu Qing just thought she was cute and laughed out loud: "Maybe I saw it wrong."
Hu Xin'er was almost completely lost in his smile, so she quickly looked away, muttering silently, "How could I be wrong? You're a martial artist, so your eyesight is excellent... I think you just want to bully me!"
She stepped on Mu Qing's foot and walked forward quickly. Although she kept complaining, she held Mu Qing's hand tightly and never let go for a moment.
The couple came to the street laughing and joking all the way, strolling around casually. They didn't enjoy the stroll to their heart's content yesterday, and today they discovered that the scenery of Qingzhou was somewhat different from that of the capital.
There are so many nobles in the capital that one brick can hit several seventh-rank officials. It can be said that there are as many small officials as dogs and children of noble families everywhere.
Although Qingzhou is also relatively prosperous, it is far less luxurious than the capital and has a more simple and rustic style.
As she was walking, Hu Xiner saw a familiar figure.
