Therefore, Manager Fang looked around and walked to Shu Yu's side, whispering, "Princess Lu, our shop's goods are almost sold out. We can empty it today. Tomorrow morning, I will take two employees to clean up the shop inside and out, and then we can hand it over to you."
Shu Yu nodded. "No rush. We agreed to come and inspect it tomorrow afternoon. I just happened to be passing by Futai Street today, so I came to take a look."
Shopkeeper Fang let out a breath, his smile deepening. "Princess Lu, feel free to wander around. If you see anything you like, just let me know."
"good."
Shopkeeper Fang is busy again; there are so many customers in the shop today.
Yingxi watched him entertaining guests, thought for a moment and said, "Miss, this Manager Fang seems a little different from the one we met last time."
"What's different?"
"It seems... I feel very comfortable and relaxed right now?"
She wasn't sure if her feelings were right.
However, Shu Yu felt the same way. She thought that Manager Fang was indeed not suitable to be a manager. He probably preferred the kind of person who let others make decisions and let him carry them out.
A few days ago, when he was the manager, he was all stiff and gloomy. Now that he knows he doesn't have to be in charge anymore, he's full of energy.
Shu Yu smiled and led Ying Xi around the shop.
Just as Manager Fang said, the shop's inventory is indeed running low, so it seems business has been quite good these past two days.
She and Yingxi wandered around for a while and saw several groups of customers pay for a lot of rouge and face powder and leave.
Moreover, thanks to the big promotions, many ordinary people can afford to buy. Even without the daughters and ladies of wealthy families, there is no shortage of customers.
There were too many people downstairs, so Shu Yu simply went upstairs.
Although there weren't many people on the second floor, each private room had customers.
Several young women were waiting in the flower hall outside, selecting rouge boxes from the counter as they waited.
Shu Yu had seen enough and was about to leave.
However, just as she turned to go downstairs, she suddenly heard her own name.
"I heard that the Princess of Wen'an bought this shop."
Shu Yu paused and looked at the two girls who were speaking.
The two girls sat with their backs to him in a corner of the flower hall. Although it wasn't a private room, beaded curtains had been drawn to separate a few seats.
The two girls chatted while drinking tea, seemingly unconcerned that others might overhear them.
Indeed, in the eyes of these noble ladies in the capital, even if Shu Yu was a county princess, she was still a county princess from a small place, and they didn't think there was anything about her that was worth avoiding.
"It's interesting, actually. This young mistress of Zhou's shop was sold to the Princess of Wen'an County. The Princess of Wen'an County was also the fiancée of the eldest son of the Gong family. This relationship..." The girl chuckled softly, "is quite complicated."
"No way, Cen Yi's shop was sold to Meng Yunzheng's fiancée? Wu Ling, are you kidding me?" Another girl was probably hearing this for the first time, and she was very surprised.
"Why would I tease you? This news has spread far and wide. You know, the second daughter-in-law of the Wang family has always been at odds with Cen Yi and has been keeping an eye on her. According to her, it happened just a few days ago. Apparently, that Princess Wen'an wanted to open a shop in the capital and saw this rouge shop on Futai Street. Then she approached the owner, and what a coincidence! The owner is Cen Yi."
"Wen'an County mainly operates shops in the capital? What kind of shop is she opening here?"
