Inside Tingfeng Tower, Nangong Yu'er looked at He Yunxiao and his two companions with a disillusioned gaze.
It started with Zhang Lingrou and Chuchu, then it was Jiang Wuyou and Fan Ziruo, and now it's two more...
Nangong Yu'er finally understood why He Yunxiao had always been indifferent to her. It turned out that in his eyes, she really was just an "ordinary woman".
“Miss Nangong, this is Daoist Qingyuzi, and this is Du Yinyun, whom you have been wanting to meet.”
"Greetings, Lord Nangong," said the woman, who was dressed in luxurious clothes, had fair skin, and a cool demeanor.
Nangong Yu'er smiled and skillfully began to flatter her: "I have long heard that a remarkable woman has emerged in Yinjing, causing upheaval in the Yinjing business world. Yu'er has long admired Miss Du's name."
Du Yinyun gave a slight smile and said indifferently, "You flatter me, Master."
Nangong Yu'er wasn't surprised by Du Yinyun's attitude. She had already studied Du Yinyun's personality through Tingfenglou's intelligence network, recognizing this potential rival. Rumors circulated that the female manager of Daqi Bank was beautiful, possessed an ethereal气质 (qi zhi - a kind of refined elegance), and had a cold, aloof personality; seeing her now, she could confirm it was true.
However...
Nangong Yu'er stole a glance at Qing Yuzi.
I'd never heard of this "Qing Yuzi" before. But judging from her clothes, figure, and He Yunxiao's consistent sense of aesthetics, she must be a beautiful woman no less stunning than myself.
I just don't know where she comes from or what her background is.
Having precedents such as "Divine General", "Empress of Yan Kingdom" and "Banking Boss", Nangong Yu'er dared not underestimate any of the girls around He Yunxiao.
Take the simplest example, "Zhang Lingrou".
To be on the safe side, Nangong Yu'er not only investigated "Zhang Lingshan" but also "Zhang Lingrou." Unexpectedly, the real "Zhang Lingrou" had never been to Yan Kingdom. Even more terrifying, no matter how hard Nangong Yu'er tried, she couldn't find even the slightest trace of the "Zhang Lingrou" who was by He Yunxiao's side.
For Nangong Yu'er's long-established intelligence network, even news about the Eldest Princess and the Yan Emperor could be gleaned, but they were completely helpless against "Zhang Lingrou." In a sense, not being able to find any information was more terrifying than being able to find any information at all.
"Zhang Lingrou" is like a black hole in Nangong Yu'er's intelligence network; no information about her can be found.
That's terrifying.
“Miss Nangong,” He Yunxiao said, unsure of what this composed young woman was thinking, so he went straight to the point, “I have long heard that you are well-informed, and I would like to ask you for a favor.”
"Please speak, sir."
He Yunxiao recounted how he and Du Yinyun had encountered setbacks at every turn yesterday, and said, "Please help us find out why those merchants are so afraid of us."
Nangong Yu'er dared not be careless and said, "Since we have already cooperated, then this matter is Yu'er's business. Young master, rest assured, Yu'er will find a way."
"We are outnumbered and outmatched in Yan, so we entrust everything to you, young lady."
Nangong Yu'er smiled and said, "If you are interested in looking for fur, why don't you come and take a look at my Tingfeng Tower fur shop?"
"Tingfeng Tower sells this?" He Yunxiao remembered that Tingfeng Tower in Qi State did not offer this service at all.
Nangong Yu'er smiled and said, "Great minds think alike. It's not just you who's interested in the fur business, my father has also been thinking about trying to buy and sell Yan's specialties from Qi. However, he hasn't dared to make any big moves yet because the situation between Qi and Yan is still uncertain. But don't worry, the funds that Yu'er gave to the Orchid Investment Development Bank are Yu'er's personal property and have nothing to do with my father. You don't need to worry and can go ahead and do it."
Personal assets of 200,000 taels?
Wow, is this what a rich woman looks like?
He Yunxiao's gaze towards Nangong Yu'er changed. He had originally thought that this money was from the funds of Tingfeng Tower in Jingtian City, used by Nangong Yu'er to invest in herself, just like Nangong Jin, the owner of Tingfeng Tower in Yanyang City. He never expected it to be her private stash!
“Miss Nangong, I have had a poor appetite since I was a child, and I can only eat soft food.”
Nangong Yu'er blinked, clearly not understanding the "gold digger" trope, and simply assumed He Yunxiao was hinting at something to her. After all, suddenly telling you about one's lifestyle habits was incredibly misleading.
Her skin beneath the veil was fair with a rosy glow. Nangong Yu'er hesitated for a moment, then said in a voice barely above a whisper, "Yu'er has remembered."
He Yunxiao: ? Write down what?
Although it is said to be "an attempt to enter the fur industry in Qi State", in fact, given the size and channels of Tingfenglou, the newly opened fur store in Tingfenglou is already quite good.
Compared to established fur shops, it is at least on par with them in terms of fur quality and processing techniques.
With the owner personally accompanying them, the fur shop naturally showed He Yunxiao and his companions the utmost hospitality.
He Yunxiao was also sensible and knew how to navigate social situations. Since he had already come all this way, he couldn't very well go back empty-handed, could he?
So he paid out of his own pocket to buy a dress for each of the three girls who came here.
Although it's now the transition from spring to summer and the weather is getting warmer, even Nangong Yu'er didn't refuse the beautiful fur coat.
In front of Nangong Yu'er, He Yunxiao naturally couldn't do something like "accompanying her to try on clothes," but he wasn't idle either. While Nangong and Yinyun were changing clothes and he and Feibao were picking out clothes, he secretly and quietly reached his hand into Feibao's arms.
Under He Yunxiao's intense and intimate training, which he called "physical training for recovery," Fei Bao is now used to his actions.
It's not that there was no reaction at all, but the action of shaking his hand away like before didn't happen.
As Master Bai was choosing clothes, she felt a familiar yet strange sensation on her body and frowned slightly. She cursed him under her breath as a lecher, but ignored it. Until she realized that this wasn't her home, but…
