Chapter 290 The First Guest
There are fifteen cities in Yongzhou, most of which are on the coast.
The city that Qin Yuan often visited was called Xiangcheng. The magistrate of the city was named Liang, a man with some background.
He had a better background than Qin Zhen, but his background was not as strong as Qin Zhen's. So when Qin Zhen came here to seek benefits and make money, Liang Zhixian turned a blind eye.
As long as it's not too excessive, just pretend you don't know.
"Sir, Hailing Trading Company sent a gift."
"What kind of gift is it to give during a festival like this?"
What evil plan is that Qin guy planning again?
Liang Zhixian pursed his lips and reluctantly accepted the gift.
Everyone knows that behind Hailing Commercial Bank is Qin Zhen's family. In the officialdom, he also needs to build good relationships with his colleagues. If he returns the gift directly, it will easily offend people, so he should wait and see.
The food he sent me last time tasted good, and my family has been buying it recently.
It’s just a little food, it won’t burn your hands if you take it.
Liang Zhixian opened the gift box and was a little confused when he saw several bottles and jars. How much food could such small bottles and jars hold?
When did Qin Zhen become so stingy?
He opened the letter and read it first without checking the jar.
Hmm…
This time, it was not food, but things for women, such as hair oil, anti-freckle cream, etc.
"You are a county magistrate, but you are doing such petty things."
Liang Zhixian despised Qin Zhen's money-grubbing, but he still accepted the gift happily.
"Take it back and give it to the young lady."
He gave instructions and the things were quickly delivered to the backyard.
Miss Liang had just finished washing her face and looked a little depressed.
She had been applying the ointment that she just washed off for more than a month, but the effect was not obvious at all. Moreover, her face still felt a bit stinging and painful after using it, which made her very uncomfortable.
Many people said it was effective, but every time she bought it and used it at home, the results were not good.
A doctor once told her that it was a physical problem and that as long as she stayed out of the sun, the spots wouldn't increase in number and the color wouldn't get darker.
But she always has to go out, and no matter how well she protects herself, there will be times when she is not careful, and the spots will increase little by little.
So annoying.
"Miss, just now the master asked Agui to deliver this gift box, saying it is for you."
"For me, for use?"
Miss Liang curiously opened the box and took a look at the instruction manual. Suddenly her breath was caught in her throat.
All the treasures in this box are what she wants!
Although I don’t know what the actual effect is, but since my dad sent it to me, it must not be cheap stuff. I’ll know after trying it!
Miss Liang was so excited that she couldn't help but try the hair oil first.
My hair, which was a bit frizzy due to the weather, became soft and smooth after using the hair oil, and has a light fragrance.
Ms. Liang fell in love with it after using it once.
The effect of the hair oil gave her more confidence in the anti-freckle cream, and she immediately applied it on her face.
The effect will not be seen in a short period of time, and you have to wait for a few days.
Qin Yuan was not in a hurry at all. He used all his connections and thought of a lot of ways to send out various skin care products.
All together, I think only six or seven sets were given away.
The boxes and bottles all had the Hailing Commercial Bank logo on them. Now all he had to do was wait for customers to come.
"Shopkeeper, the top floor of the store has been decorated. The fashionable rabbit-hair carpets have been laid, the pearl curtains have been hung, and the shelves have been organized. We are just waiting for you to deliver the goods."
Qin Yuan nodded and went to the backyard of the business.
In the backyard, there were two maids he brought with him, teaching the four girls how to pour tea, burn incense, and perform massage techniques.
Jiang Wan mentioned this massage technique accidentally. She said that proper massage technique can help the skin better absorb the skin care products used.
So he shamelessly followed Jiang Wan to learn, and then came back to teach his own people, so that they could learn well and then train the next people.
The guests received on the top floor of the company are all ladies from various families, so the servants must not be careless.
Qin Yuan watched in the backyard for a while and was very satisfied to see the four girls learning very seriously.
He expected that it would take at least five or six days for a customer to come. But unexpectedly, someone came looking for the name of Hailing Commercial Bank the next day.
The girl who came was brightly dressed, but she was dressed like a maid.
As soon as I entered the door, I asked if scrubs were sold here.
Qin Zhen happened to be downstairs, and upon hearing the words, he immediately went forward to greet him.
"What's this girl's name?"
"Just call me Xiaochun, boss. I'm here to buy some scrub. Do you have any? My young lady said there's a Hailing Company stamp on the jar, so she asked me to buy it here."
Xiaochun poked his head out to take a look. There were a lot of smells on the first floor of the store. It didn't look like a place that sold expensive things. Did he come to the wrong place?
"Miss Xiaochun, you came at a good time. I just received a batch of goods here, so of course I have some scrubs. Come upstairs with me."
Qin Yuan was actually quite confused. After all, the scrub jar was quite large, and the cream inside would definitely not be used up in a day. How come someone came so soon?
"Miss Xiaochun, how many bottles of scrub do you want to buy?"
He deliberately didn't tell her the exact price, and Xiaochun didn't really care.
As for money, they have plenty of it at home.
"My mistress told me to buy a hundred cans."
There are so many young ladies in the family that the third and fourth young ladies almost got into a fight yesterday over a jar of scrub.
You have to buy more.
Qin Yuan was so shocked that he stuttered when he opened his mouth.
"Xiao, Xiaochun, how much do you want to buy?"
"One hundred cans. A company as big as yours wouldn't be out of stock, right?"
Xiaochun said this and directly took out a silver note of one hundred taels.
"Enough?"
Seeing the money being taken out so easily, Qin Yuan's heart of profiteering was ready to act. He restrained his hand from wanting to take the money and answered firmly, "Not enough!"
