“We already know each other, no need to look.” Looking at his glaring smile, Tian Yu turned her head and pretended not to see it.
"You don't like it!"
"No, you should go back quickly! It's dangerous on the road in the dark."
"It's precisely because it's dangerous that I'm sending you back!"
"I don't need you to deliver it."
As Tian Yu was speaking, she saw Ji Feng rushing over from not far away. Ji Feng walked up to Tian Yu and said, "Madam! I'm late."
"It's not late, let's go." Tian Yu said with a smile. During this period, because of opening the shop, Ji Feng had to run back and forth between the two places. But for safety, Tian Yu still hired two thugs for the clinic. The government's patrolmen also took extra care of the clinic. After a period of safety, Tian Yu finally felt a little more at ease.
Although the mountain town was located in a strategic location, it was still a frontier area, and wealthy people were few and far between. The biggest business opportunities lay with the merchants passing through. In order to improve her business, Tian Yu used these passing merchants to sell her goods in various places. At first, the results weren't very good, but over time, she started to have repeat customers. After all, Tian Yu was very confident in her products, coupled with her creative marketing methods.
Rouge Shop successively launched many fragrances, as well as slimming teas and health teas. Because of its novel and unique packaging, Tian Yu even designed a unique trademark on the product packaging – a simple line drawing of a woman's face, which she designed herself. After much effort, many passing vendors began to cooperate with Rouge Shop, and its business boomed. To address the product's effectiveness, Tian Yu established a dedicated after-sales service team to track down women who had used the products and promptly improve them. Through everyone's efforts, Rouge Shop's business began to stabilize and grow.
On the third day after opening, competitors came to cause trouble, but with Jifeng's help, they all managed to get through it safely. Tian Yu was somewhat amused and exasperated. She had initially thought she would have to rack her brains about how to handle the situation, but now that no one dared to mess with her, was it? Was this the advantage of feudal society? Having connections meant you could do whatever you wanted; even a mere guard by the prince's side wielded so much power! Nevertheless, Tian Yu, along with Qiu Ju, arranged a meeting at the Yue Lai Restaurant with the owners of the two largest brothels in the city. Tian Yu hoped they could cooperate. After a detailed discussion, both the Shang and Xue owners agreed, but Tian Yu could tell they agreed so readily because of the person behind her. They were right; this time, Tian Yu had brought Prince Wu into the business, so the Rouge Shop now had a 30% stake owned by the prince. Who would dare to mess with that now?
With the cooperation, business went more smoothly. Tian Yu was not a stingy person and took good care of other rouge shops, some of which became her agents.
Many of the shop's employees were orphans whom Tian Yu had taken in before. From the moment the shop opened, Tian Yu had been keeping an eye on them, hoping to train them. One of them, a girl named Xiu Niang, was very clever and quick-witted. Tian Yu had her follow her around from the beginning, and after several months of deliberate training, she had become quite adept at handling the shop's affairs. Madam Li also transferred a manager from her shop to help out. Finally, in the autumn, the shop was on track, and Tian Yu was able to take a break and return to her hometown for a while. The rice there should be ripe soon.
