The shopkeeper recalled what Lu Yinghuai had said earlier—that this other shop was for Yunling and her ladies to stay in. Therefore, Yunling's question was most likely about solving the ladies' food problem. Thus, he replied:
"We have specially hired a young cook to take care of the food in the neighborhood. If the owner doesn't mind, you can invite those young ladies to dine here."
The shopkeeper's words undoubtedly solved a major problem for Yunling. Yunling nodded in satisfaction and replied:
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Master."
"It is a great honor to be able to serve my employer."
Seeing that Yunling had nothing else to say, the shopkeeper took his leave to avoid disturbing her.
Xie Sinan thought this person knew how to handle things. After the shop owner left, he didn't put on airs, casually leaned to the side, raised his chin, looked at Yun Ling, and said:
"Yunling, that's a bit unfair of you. You promised to take me with you, but it turned out to be just empty talk."
"I haven't even said anything yet, why are you complaining?"
"Isn't it obvious to you? This shop has a front shop and a back yard. People need to live in the back yard, so the front is naturally used as a shop. If you want to run a shop, you'll naturally sell your 'Night-Shining Green' products. But the location isn't ideal, so it's probably used as a warehouse."
Seeing that Yun Ling's gaze was somewhat evasive, Xie Sinan knew he had been right. He immediately straightened his back, adopted an aggressive demeanor, and continued:
"Send those underwear, sanitary napkins and the like here in advance, and then as soon as the customer places an order online, we can ship them immediately. For me, delivering orders is just transferring them from your store to this shop, it doesn't mean I'm included. You've got a clever little scheme up your sleeve."
Yunling touched her nose.
“I’ve brought you along everywhere. If this fashion show goes smoothly, ‘Zhaoyeqing’ should be able to make a name for itself in the surrounding counties. At that time, we will need to establish a network in various places to facilitate ordering, and that will naturally depend on you.”
Xie Sinan's lips slowly curled upwards. When he first transmigrated here, he naturally wanted to use his modern skills to make a name for himself, get rich, and become a legend.
But ideals are one thing, reality is another. He didn't have any extraordinary abilities or a remarkable family background. If he didn't have a few coins on him, he would probably have had a hard time getting by.
Everyone has a dream of becoming a hero.
He has it too.
He believed that even without a cheat code, he could still make a name for himself.
He shamelessly went to the shops on the street to explain the benefits of his network one by one, but this was much more difficult than he had imagined. He was treated as a madman, a fool, a liar, and was even swept out of the house with a broom.
It was then that he realized he wasn't a hero; he was just an ordinary person, no matter how ordinary he was, whether in modern times or here.
Fortunately, his story amused a wealthy man, who rewarded him with twenty strings of copper coins as a storyteller. With this money, he opened his first online gambling den at the Marriage Corner.
At first, people were drawn by the novelty and flocked to invest, allowing him to accumulate his first pot of gold in a short period. His ambition began to swell, and he dreamed of becoming a hero of his time. He wanted to expand his network across the country and become the "Father Ma" of ancient times.
But reality is harsh. When he expanded his network to the neighboring city of Yuncheng, he felt exhausted. The unfamiliar environment, unfamiliar forces, and complicated interpersonal relationships made him, an outsider, feel extremely uncomfortable, so he temporarily stopped his expansion.
Fortunately, reality was kind to him—it slapped him in the face and then gave him a sweet treat. He met Yunling, a woman who was extremely compatible with him. If the two of them worked together, they would surely be able to make a name for themselves in this dynasty.
Xie Sinan was overjoyed, and even more delighted by Yun Ling's words, "Of course I can't live without you." She couldn't live without him; she couldn't live without him!
"Yunling, is there really no possibility for us?"
"Don't be so flirtatious, just do what you're supposed to do."
Xie Sinan scratched his butt, his tone slightly complaining.
"Hey, now that I'm working for you, you have to treat me to a meal."
"Have a meal……"
Yunling felt that eating wasn't the problem; the problem was that she had another issue to resolve before eating, and she couldn't eat if she didn't solve it.
A quarter of an hour later,
Yunling then took Xie Sinan to the cloth shop. The shop owner, upon seeing Yunling, was so frightened that he tried to close the door, but Yunling stopped him with her foot.
"Master, what's the rush?"
"I wasn't in a hurry, it's just that you're a little late, young lady, and the shop is about to close."
"Close the gate? Close the gate where? Are you rushing to inform that old man with white hair who came to stop my carriage, and then you want to frame me for hitting him, ruin my reputation, and make my show unable to continue? Is that it?"
Xie Sinan raised an eyebrow. He said, "Why did we go to this cloth shop instead of going to eat? Turns out you're here to demand an explanation. This girl is quite vengeful."
The landlady was quite taken aback by Yunling's bluntness. She hadn't expected Yunling to think of her so quickly, and she certainly hadn't expected Yunling to come to her door so directly and without any mercy to argue with her.
"What are you saying, young lady? I don't understand a word you're saying."
"You don't understand, or did you not expect me to come directly to your door to talk to you? You didn't even think of a vague excuse, so you don't understand?"
The landlord swallowed hard, trying to suppress his nervousness and anxiety. He hid his trembling hands behind the door and answered:
“I really don’t understand what you mean, young lady. I’ve been busy in the cloth shop all day. How would I know anything about an old man with white hair, an injustice, or ruining your reputation? You’ve confused me.”
Yunling laughed out loud. This person was practically blatantly admitting "I'm nervous" and "I'm lying" on his face, yet he was still stubbornly trying to justify himself. Moreover, Yunling's special abilities were very active here, so this person must be the mastermind behind it all, without a doubt.
"Whether the owner was busy at the cloth shop that day, or whether he went out in the middle, can be found out by asking the neighboring shops. There's no need to resort to such childish tricks to deceive people. Besides, whether you sent an old man with white hair to cheat me can also be found out by asking."
"The reason I didn't report it to the authorities is because I thought of our past friendship and didn't want to make a big fuss about it. To be honest, I really don't understand. You copied my designs and stole my customers, and I haven't even said anything yet, so why are you getting angry first?"
