"Ha, I thought he was someone important. Turns out he's just an ordinary old man, and his confidante is just an ordinary farm girl who doesn't even have a father. She's just a pitiful little orphan."
Young Master Xiao's tone was full of contempt. Then, he suddenly put his hands on his hips, burst into laughter, and instantly had a great idea. He casually kicked a weed by the roadside, rolled his eyes under his breath, and angrily retorted, "Tch, if you don't want to help, then don't! Who cares?"
"But since you're going to embarrass me, don't blame me, hehehe~"
"I can't do anything openly, but I'll have to trip you up a bit behind the scenes to vent my anger!"
Otherwise, he simply couldn't swallow that anger. Most importantly, he was so frightened by that old geezer, Huang Lao, that day that he knelt down! It was so damn humiliating; his lifelong reputation was ruined just like that.
That wretched old man!!
Seemingly conjuring up some brilliant revenge plan, Young Master Xiao's eyes gleamed, and he grinned wickedly, "Damn little brat, you dared to embarrass me, so don't blame me for cutting off your source of income!"
We'll see!!!
He closed his fan and became arrogant again, a smug smile on his face, as he swaggered with his servants to the prefectural government office in the provincial capital.
As soon as he entered, he saw the familiar middle-aged man and rushed over to him, his voice filled with sorrow, "Waaah, Uncle, I've been bullied! You have to help me!!"
…
Zhiyin had no idea what was happening here. Seeing that everything was proceeding in an orderly manner, she went about her own business.
Ziyou quickly found three very suitable shops, goldsmiths, and even bought some employees.
After learning about Zhiyin's idea, he also thoughtfully helped find someone to renovate the house. According to Zhiyin's instructions, he bought all kinds of kitchen utensils, including paper and earthenware jars for storing potato chips, spicy strips, chili powder, etc.
Zhiyin also began to write down the recipe for spicy strips based on his memories.
Making spicy strips is actually very simple. Just wet the beef gluten with water, put it in a steamer, brush it with oil, steam it for about three minutes, then take it out and let it cool before using.
The most important step is the sauce ratio. As long as the sauce is made well, it will be very flavorful when poured over the spicy strips and mixed evenly, making people feel dizzy with the aroma.
…
For almost the entire afternoon, and until the next morning, Zhiyin was writing down recipes and teaching new employees how to make spicy strips, potato chips, chili powder, and so on…
Time passed quickly, and the employees in each store were working enthusiastically on pre-opening training and other related pre-opening work.
The job postings that were posted earlier have attracted a number of applicants from various painters. Since Zhiyin does not have gender requirements for painters, both men and women are welcome, and the salary is very generous.
As a result, all sorts of painters came.
The only requirement for the auditions was that the person who could paint the actors with the most charm and whoever could sign a long-term contract to stay in the theater would be hired.
Finally, we chose a girl who, although only 12 years old, exuded a natural talent and was exceptionally gifted, with incredibly high drawing skills, creating works that were almost lifelike.
The young girl's painting skills were truly remarkable; she painted each girl as if she had stepped out of the painting, making them exceptionally beautiful. The connoisseur immediately decided that she was the one for the role.
"Ling'er, right? You're the one!! From now on, you'll be our theater's exclusive illustrator, in charge of painting posters."
Zhiyin patted the little girl on the shoulder with satisfaction.
Ling'er scratched her head shyly, but still looked at Zhiyin with bright, determined, and admiring eyes and nodded, "Don't worry, boss, I will definitely paint well."
The women from the theater, including Qiu's mother, stared wide-eyed at the painting in front of Ling'er, their faces filled with amazement.
"Wow, is that really me? I'm so beautiful, I look just like a fairy from heaven!!"
The actress playing the Seventh Princess Zi'er is Jingjing. At this moment, she looks at the woman in the painting, dressed in a purple, ethereal, and elaborate long dress with a purple headband on her forehead, and she can hardly recognize her.
The woman was adorable, with a bright smile that was also charming. Her best features were magnified, and she looked graceful and elegant, as if she was about to take off at any moment. She was a thousand times more beautiful than she actually was.
Jingjing herself couldn't believe it, and even felt a little ashamed of herself. She felt that the two of them were like the bright moon in the sky and the dust on the ground, unreachable.
"Haha, this is you, Jingjing. You are really super beautiful. It's just that the painting amplifies your best features."
Seeing this, Zhiyin was overjoyed. Looking at the circle of beautiful women surrounding him, he truly felt like he had arrived in paradise. This was a feast for the eyes!
At the same time, looking at the people on the poster, she couldn't help but feel a sense of disorientation. She was confident that anyone who saw this poster would be captivated and tempted to stop in their tracks, and would really want to see the Seven Fairies.
"Alright, that's settled then, Aunt Qiu. Ling'er will be living in our theater from now on. Take Ling'er to her room so she can get used to the environment and start drawing. The sooner she finishes her drawing, the sooner we can put it up for publicity."
"good!!"
The thought of this poster, so captivating that it would draw everyone's attention with just one glance, filled Qiu's mother with joy and excitement. She eagerly anticipated seeing it and immediately took action.
…
"Thank you very much, Miss Zhiyin. I have successfully secured the inheritance of the Xiao family. This is your remaining payment."
