Chapter 169 The Banquet Ends
"What should I do?" Song Weiwei was so anxious that she almost cried. She looked at Xu Miaomiao aggrievedly, "It's almost time for the dance session. What should I do?"
"Don't worry." Xu Miaomiao comforted Song Weiwei, but she was actually very anxious in her heart: "Weiwei, you can play the piano, so you can improve your dance to a musical instrument performance."
"Me?" Song Weiwei pointed at herself unconfidently: "No, no, I won't be able to do it if I'm just sloppy."
"Don't underestimate yourself." Xu Miaomiao criticized Song Weiwei. She had also heard Song Weiwei's piano playing, and it was no less impressive even if she performed it in public.
Holding Song Weiwei's shoulders, Xu Miaomiao said solemnly: "Weiwei, you play the piano so beautifully. Now there is only one way. I believe in you, and you also have to believe in yourself."
Song Weiwei's eyes were red, but when she saw Xu Miaomiao's serious look, she suddenly gained courage and nodded firmly: "Yes!"
After the appetizers were served, Xu Miaomiao asked around and found out that everyone was quite satisfied, so she served the hot dishes.
At this time, Song Weiwei was also encouraging herself. Although she was a little nervous, she managed to complete the performance pretty well.
When she stepped off the stage, Song Weiwei was still a little incredulous: "Did I really finish my performance? I played a song for those princes and noble ladies?"
"Yes." Gu Yuanniang responded by patting Song Weiwei on the head: "Weiwei is amazing."
Finally, the banquet was over. Occasionally, someone would ask where such delicious fruits came from, and everyone would perfunctorily respond with "from the department store."
"Thank you, Sister Xu, for preparing all this for me this time." Jiang Mengyun leaned forward slightly and bowed to Xu Miaomiao.
Looking at the woman with a fake smile, Xu Miaomiao didn't have time to be polite with her. She just responded with a few words and left in a hurry.

"Come, let's raise our glasses to celebrate the successful conclusion of this banquet!"
Gu Yuanniang picked up the cup and started talking.
We had a busy day today, so we had dinner in a restaurant. Song Wu Shao didn't come with us as he had other things to do.
At this moment, there were only Xu Miaomiao and a few others.
"I heard that everyone is talking about how the pastries in our department store are amazing." Song Weiwei said from the side: "Now that we have a reputation, we don't have to worry about no customers coming."
"Yes, this is just the beginning. I believe that our shop will prosper and do booming business in the future." Xu Miaomiao also picked up the cup and looked at everyone and spoke.
“I wish you a prosperous business!”
Everyone drank together and raised their glasses to celebrate.
Because he had to open the store tomorrow, he didn’t drink too much. He just ordered a few drinks and then went home.
When they got home, Song Wushao was already reading in the room. Xu Miaomiao tiptoed over but was still discovered by the man. He turned around to stop her, and Xu Miaomiao fell into Song Wushao's arms.
Smelling the alcohol on Xu Miaomiao's body, Song Wushao frowned in dissatisfaction: "Why are you still drinking?"
"I'm happy today!"
Xu Miaomiao responded subconsciously. Seeing that Song Wushao was still frowning, she gestured with her hand: "I only drank this little."
Song Wu Shao didn't care about her and kissed Xu Miaomiao on the lips, from the lips to the neck. Xu Miaomiao felt her nerves tense and then her clothes were taken off one by one.
The red gauze tent is warm, and it’s a spring night.
When Xu Miaomiao woke up again, the bed around her was already cold.
Looking at the red marks on his body, he could imagine how fierce the battle was last night.
Xu Miaomiao blushed as she was supported and walked to the makeup mirror. Song Wushao usually looked gentle and refined, but unexpectedly he could be so barbaric. Thinking of this, Xu Miaomiao shuddered all over, but it was normal for the ruthless boss in the book to be like this.
After finally cleaning up, when Xu Miaomiao came out, Song Weiwei and others were waiting at the door.
"It's rare to see you get up late." Gu Yuanniang looked at Xu Miaomiao and said jokingly.
Xu Miaomiao's cheeks turned red as if she remembered something.
Song Weiwei, who was standing by, came forward and asked, "Did you drink too much last night?"
"Yes!" Xu Miaomiao said as if she had seen a savior: "I just drank too much."
After saying that, he hurried towards the carriage.
Song Weiwei, who was standing by, touched her head in confusion and frowned: "That wine isn't intoxicating."
Gu Yuanniang, however, shook her head as if she saw through everything and got on the carriage.
Because of the banquet, one or two more people came to the department store, but it was still not enough compared to when they were in Bai County.
"Alas," Gu Yuanniang sighed heavily, looking at the few people there and feeling a little discouraged: "Why are there still only these few people?"
They would be losing money if they stayed open here for one more day. If they continued like this, they might even lose their capital.
Xu Miaomiao also lowered her head, thought for a while and said, "I heard that the capital is the same as our place, they select the best store every year, it seems to be in the next few days, why don't we also participate once, maybe there will be some turning point."
"I think it's okay." Song Weiwei said while eating oden.
"Yeah." Gu Yuanniang also nodded in agreement: "Let's give it a try."
The streets were crowded with people and the sound of gongs and drums was deafening.
By the time Xu Miaomiao came to draw the order, the crowd had already surrounded the place.
"This year's best store must be our restaurant!"
A pot-bellied man looked at everyone and spoke proudly.
"Manager Jiang, that's not necessarily true." Another man next to him continued, "Our inn is not bad either."
People were coming and going, chatting with each other, and they were all men.
The young lady Xu Miaomiao stood out among them.
"I've heard for a long time that a young lady opened a shop on this street. It seems that what she said is true."
The man who was just called Shopkeeper Jiang looked at Xu Miaomiao and spoke.
Seeing that she was mentioned, Xu Miaomiao bowed slowly and said, "Xu Miaomiao from the Department Store greets you all."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the man next to him say in a sarcastic tone: "Oh, the world has really changed. Even a woman can do business now."
"Yeah, I'm afraid she's using some seductive tactics to flirt with customers." Someone nearby echoed.
Xu Miaomiao stood in the crowd without saying a word. She drew a number and turned to leave.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Everyone, please forgive me when you can. You look down on women, but do you even look down on your own mothers? It can't be that they used some kind of seductive tricks to get you."
After saying that, Xu Miaomiao turned and left.
The faces of the people behind him turned pale as they watched Xu Miaomiao leaving. Some said a few kind words and some even spat at her.
But Xu Miaomiao didn't have the heart to look at these.
