Wu Wei'an earnestly advised: "Yunniang, you should understand the principle of accumulating little by little to make a lot better than I do."
Ji Yunxi almost vomited blood.
She has seen all kinds of situations and encountered all kinds of strange things in the business world, and her mood rarely fluctuates so much.
Ji Yunxi closed the book and took a deep breath. She forced a smile and imitated his tone, advising him earnestly, "Anlang, the money spent on transporting this clothing from Shangjing City to Xuanji Gate is probably more than what we earned."
Wu Wei'an raised his eyebrows: "Isn't Fifth Brother going back to Xuanjimen? Just let Fifth Brother take these fifty or sixty pieces of clothes."
Ji Yunxi: “…”
She had nothing to say, so she opened the book again and said perfunctorily, "That's right."
But after reading a few lines, she realized that Wu Weian was still staring at her.
Ji Yunxi frowned slightly, looked up and looked at him.
Wu Weian blinked slightly and also looked at her.
Ji Yunxi: "What's the matter?"
Wu Wei'an shook his head: "It's okay."
He paused and asked, "Don't you have anything to say to me?"
Ji Yunxi: “???”
She frowned and looked him up and down carefully.
From the beginning, Ji Yunxi felt that something was wrong with him.
It started when he began to confess his connections with various martial arts sects.
Seeing the expectation in his eyes, Ji Yunxi had a very absurd guess in her mind: "Do you want me to praise you?"
To be honest, when Ji Yunxi asked this question, she felt that it was impossible.
Why did he want her to praise him? Why did he start to slowly pity himself?
Ji Yunxi encountered this situation in modern times.
The other party was a young and promising male entrepreneur. Halfway through the cooperation, he started doing things that were beneficial to her but not very beneficial to himself.
Sure enough, not long after, the other party confessed to her and said that he liked her.
Ji Yunxi still remembers how she felt at that time, which was very helpless.
She naturally rejected the other party, but the two were still working together at the time, so they agreed to continue the cooperation, just like before.
But after that, the president stopped doing his job and kept trying to invite her out for dinner and a movie under the pretext of meetings.
Moreover, their IQ began to decline, which almost caused their project to suffer huge losses.
From then on, Ji Yunxi kept her distance from all creatures with love in their brains.
There was vigilance and alertness deep in her eyes.
Wu Weian looked at her for a long time.
Neither of them spoke.
After a while, he suddenly chuckled, his eyes deep: "I just want to say that I tried my best."
Ji Yunxi: "So?"
Wu Weian retracted his gaze and said leisurely, "So, can it be 4:6? You 4 and I 6."
Ji Yunxi refused without a second thought: "No way."
Wu Wei'an: "Oh."

In the days that followed, the business of Xiyun Cloth Shop and Beiyun Cloth Shop became increasingly better.
First of all, everyone discovered that the clothes from these two cloth shops were really not inferior to those from Xingle Cloth Shop, and they were much cheaper recently, half the price of Xingle. Anyone who didn't buy them would be a fool.
Secondly, Beiyun Cloth Shop had become a favorite hangout for scholars, as there was a good chance of running into the Hanlin Academy. The Hanlin Academy masters were all top performers in the imperial examinations. Meeting one, receiving some advice, or even receiving support, was a truly remarkable feat.
The stocks in these two stores were sold out. Fortunately, Ji Yunxi had made preparations before opening the stores and quickly replenished them with new stocks.
However, Nanyun Cloth Village and Dongyun Cloth Village are sparsely populated.
The clothes at Dongyun Cloth Shop are very expensive and they are not sold ready-made. They are all made to order for specific people. The starting price of a set is at least fifty taels. Ordinary people would never buy them.
Several young ladies who are on good terms with the Ji family have ordered a few pieces.
But when it comes to business, you can’t just rely on acquaintances to take care of it.
Nanyun Cloth Shop buys clothes for servants, with a minimum order of fifty pieces at a time. It does not target the general public, but people with wealthy families.
"Shu Yue, don't worry. Beiyun and Xiyun may look crowded, but they are all losing money. Dongyun and Nanyun are even less visited, so there is no need to worry at all." A young lady advised with a smile at a small gathering of close friends.
"That's right. I've been to Dongyun. I don't know how Ji Yunxi dares to sell at such a high price. The clothes aren't as good as yours, yet they're more expensive." Another young lady said in a gentle voice, "Just relax and wait for Ji Yunxi to close the shop herself."
The woman who had lowered her head at the table raised her head, revealing a beautiful face.
In Shangjing City, everyone knows that Ji Yunxi is a beauty, but that's because no one has seen Xing Shuyue very often.
She wore a hood whenever she went out, and very few people saw her face.
People who don’t know her would say that the orphan girl of the Xing family must be ugly, which is why she wears a hood all day long.
The woman smiled slightly.
Five or six streets away from the Wu family, Ji Yunxi, as these three people were talking about, was taking a bath and changing clothes.
When she finished putting on her makeup and was ready to go out, Wu Weian, who had just returned from the Hanlin Academy, just arrived home.
Wu Weian raised his eyebrows: "Are you going out?"
Ji Yunxi nodded: "Yes."
Wu Wei'an looked at the sky which was about to get dark and said, "But it's almost time for dinner now."
Ji Yunxi waved her sleeves and sniffed her new scent, feeling quite satisfied. “Oh, I won’t be home for dinner tonight.”
Wu Wei'an looked at her dressed up and knew she was going to meet someone, and it definitely wasn't her brothers. "Are you going back to the Ji family for dinner?"
Ji Yunxi shook her head: "No."
Wu Weian rested one hand on the edge of the table: "Did you make an appointment?"
Ji Yunxi thought for a moment and said, "Not really."
Wu Wei'an flipped through the pages of the book on the table nonchalantly: "So you're dining out alone?"
Ji Yunxi didn't deny it: "Almost."
