The people who come here to read books all have some connections, so they naturally know who Wang Hailin is and look down on him, but they can't afford to offend him. As for the discount Qiu Wen offered, they don't care about the money, but the words sound nice, so they don't take it seriously.
Bobo and the others were also among the onlookers. They watched what happened and found it quite interesting.
The crowd dispersed soon after, and Bobo and the others left as well.
Bobo could tell that Qiu Wen had deliberately made that person speak wildly. Although he didn't know what her purpose was, it certainly wasn't that simple. However, these things didn't concern him much. He asked Xu Nian to investigate the prefect. As for whether it could indirectly help Wensi Bookstore, he didn't care.
Bobo instructed Xu Nian to keep an eye out, and then he himself stopped paying too much attention to it, since it was a minor matter to him.
Bobo didn't care, and Fuqing was rather indifferent, but Zhang Tingyu was quite concerned about it.
He didn't know why, but perhaps he felt that the owner of such a bookstore was an interesting person, so he asked someone to keep an eye on him and help him out if necessary.
In Cangzhou, a prefect is an unattainable position, but it's nothing to Zhang Tingyu. Although he currently only works for Bobo and appears to be without official rank, it's important to understand that he is a second-generation official. His father is the tutor of the First Prince and has considerable influence in front of the Emperor.

"Have you found out where the prefect's wife is?"
“Miss, I heard from a purchasing woman in the prefect’s office that the prefect’s wife will be going to Wu’s Department Store tomorrow to buy some jewelry for her daughter.”
Qiu Wen had someone inquire about the matter and learned that the prefect's wife only had one daughter, whom she doted on. She had heard that the daughter was engaged and was probably preparing a dowry.
"Let's go tomorrow too."
Qiu Wen's approach was simple: since that man was the prefect's favorite concubine's younger brother, the prefect's family affairs should naturally be resolved by them; it wouldn't be good to "accidentally" hurt her, an outsider.
On this day, Qiu Wen, unusually dressed in women's clothing, went to Wu's Department Store. Qiu Wen had also cultivated some connections during this period, and was able to get a private room at Wu's Department Store.
Then Qiu Wen had a chance encounter with the prefect's wife here.
"This humble woman greets Madam."
The prefect's wife, Madam Lin, looked at the woman before her with some confusion: "Who are you?"
"I am the eldest daughter of the Qiu family. I just heard someone call you by your name, Madam. I have something to say to you."
