Chapter 172: Friend or Enemy?
"Let's check again. How many shops does this owner have? What do they do? How is their business?"
"Also, check if this host has any outstanding qualities, and what particularly interesting things have happened to her."
"Also, has she ever experienced a drastic change in personality? When did it start?"
"In short, no matter how big or small, everything must be checked. The more detailed the better."
After hearing this, Jingyu quickly took the order and left.
Lin Pianran called the shopkeeper over and asked with a gentle smile on her face, "I've carefully examined the items in your shop. The designs on them are unique and novel, with a unique charm. I'm really curious. I wonder which master created these ingenious designs?"
When the shopkeeper heard this, the smile on his face became even brighter, and his sincerity could not help but overflowed from his words.
He explained with a beaming expression, "These patterns are all the product of my eldest daughter's creative ideas. She designed them herself. Not only are they beautiful and pleasing to the eye, they are also unique, ingenious, and very different from others."
"Also, it is said that these patterns have auspicious meanings."
"Every time we launch these new products, the market is packed with people, attracting countless young ladies and noble men from prominent families to buy them, making them all the rage."
"But my lady said that we can't have too many products, otherwise they will become ubiquitous. We must limit the quantity."
“Therefore, each of our products is limited to a quantity of 100 pieces, and once they are sold out, no more will be made.”
"Miss, please take a good look at our products. If you see a style that catches your eye, you must act quickly. If you are slow, you will miss it. When you come back next time, you will see new styles."
Seeing the endless stream of customers coming in and out of the store, Lin Pianran felt that the shopkeeper was telling the truth and was not lying.
Lin Pianran's face showed understanding, and she asked knowingly, "Your business should be very good, right? The profit every month must be piling up like a mountain, right?"
The shopkeeper was smiling widely, his eyes curved into crescents. He pointed at the endless stream of customers who were giving him rave reviews, his tone filled with joy that was hard to conceal.
"Our monthly income has increased more than tenfold compared to the past, and it's showing a positive momentum of continuous growth!"
"It's just like what our shopkeeper said, counting money until my hands cramped!"
"Is business really that good?" Lin Pianran continued to ask tentatively.
"Indeed! Many guests even make direct reservations. As soon as the products appear on the shelves, they are quickly snatched up like fallen leaves in the autumn wind."
"By the way, our store also has membership recharge cards and discount cards. Membership cards are divided into four levels: gold card, silver card, bronze card and iron card."
"For customers with discount cards who spend more than one hundred taels of silver per transaction, they can enjoy a 5% discount on the price."
"Many ladies and daughters from wealthy families have signed up for membership recharge cards at our shop! It's not uncommon for some wealthy customers to top up thousands of taels of silver at a time!"
In order to capture her as a potential big customer, the shopkeeper gave her a very detailed introduction.
After all, just now Lin Pianran picked out goods worth more than three hundred taels of silver in the store at one time, and it was obvious that she was a wealthy person.
The shopkeeper naturally wanted to keep her as a customer with unlimited potential, to maintain a long-term business relationship, and to make the relationship last forever!
I want to have the opportunity to earn more money from her.
Lin Pianran nodded frequently as she listened. She was 100% sure that the owner behind this shop must be a soul that traveled through time from another world.
Lin Pianran's face once again rippled with a gentle smile, and she asked softly, "May I ask what your boss's name is? She is so talented, it's really admirable! I wonder if there will be a chance to meet her in the future, I will definitely ask her for advice..."
I didn't expect that the shopkeeper was such an honest man, and he would tell me everything he knew.
"My daughter's name is Gu Xiangsi. She is the legitimate daughter of the second branch of the Grand Tutor's Mansion. When the Second Master was on a mission in Jiangnan, my daughter went there to live with him after she turned ten. Only recently, when the Second Master's term of office expired, did she return to the capital..."
It turned out to be the Grand Tutor’s Mansion, what a surprise!
It seems that the Grand Tutor's Mansion is indeed a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery. The young ladies who come out of it are all extremely extraordinary and worthy of attention.
The shopkeeper continued, "My young lady is not only stunningly beautiful, but also extremely talented, possessing talents in all aspects."
"Recently, he has even suppressed many noble ladies in the capital, making them unable to raise their heads. He is the most popular person at the moment."
"Especially the poems written by my young lady. Each one is amazing and unmatched. They have become famous lines through the ages. Once they appeared in the world, they spread widely."
"And the songs she sang also had a unique charm, with classic lyrics and beautiful melodies that touched the soul and were unforgettable."
After hearing this, Lin Pianran became even more certain that Gu Xiangsi was a true time traveler.
When Lin Pianran heard that Gu Xiangsi came from the Grand Tutor's Mansion, she became alert.
However, she carefully recalled her previous life and found that she had never heard of Gu Xiangsi.
It seems that I have lived a new life, and the world has changed a lot.
However, if you think about it, since you can be reborn, it is not surprising that there is an unexpected time traveler.
After figuring this out, Lin Pianran felt relieved.
After the shopkeeper explained the situation in detail, he brought Lin Pianran to a calligraphy painting and introduced it with great excitement, "This is a famous quote from our young lady. Our young master wrote it down and hung it here for people to admire."
Lin Pianran looked up and saw the famous line: "Since ancient times, everyone has to die. Leave behind a loyal heart to shine in history."
Haha, this is total plagiarism!
Who can resist hearing such a famous quote right at the beginning?
It seems that another talented woman will be born in the capital soon.
Perhaps, she will soon surpass her cousin Gu Qingcheng and overshadow her.
Seeing Lin Pianran staring intently, the shopkeeper smiled and asked, "My young lady's reputation is indeed well-deserved! Just this one line of poetry can directly make her a god, leaving countless students in the world far behind!..."
Lin Pianran's curiosity grew, and she pressed on, "Then your boss should have quite a few shops in the capital, right? If the goods are good, I could patronize them all and support your business!"
