"Have you heard? The result of the competition between Miss Gloria and Cyril from Family Moreton is going to be out today. It's said that the winner of this competition will be a seat on the board of the Aden Chamber of Commerce, as well as the right to control an industry."
"Doesn't that mean whoever wins this match will win the Successor Tournament?"
"That's not entirely true. President Geoffrey has always been a patriarchal man. However, if Miss Gloria can win this competition, then she'll officially be on the same starting line as Cyril. She'll truly be qualified to compete with him for the right to inherit Family Moreton."
"Then who do you think will win this competition?"
"I don't dare to say who will win, but I've seen Cree's Blacksmith Shop in full swing recently. Carts of ironware are being transported out of the shop. In contrast, Suede has been closed for the past two days. Even though it's very busy, two or three days is nothing compared to a month for Cree's Blacksmith Shop."
On the second floor of a teahouse in the Aden Square, merchants were chatting casually as they drank their morning tea.
Family Moreton was one of the most prestigious families in Chaos City, and its successor had always been the focus of attention.
Everyone had thought that Cyril, who had been criticized for his abilities, would undoubtedly inherit Family Moreton. Who would've thought that Gloria would suddenly appear out of nowhere, and make the competition between the two families even more exciting?
Of course, if Gloria lost today, this big show would become a farce, and the curtains would have to come to an end.
It was already shocking enough that the Buffett Family had produced such a talented young woman. If Family Moreton was also inherited by a woman of the third generation, then many jaws would drop to the ground.
Cyril stepped out of his horse-drawn carriage at the entrance of Cree's Blacksmith Shop, and quickly strode into the shop. He looked at Cree with a fawning smile, and asked, "How's the situation now?"
Creed hurriedly said, "Young Master, as of last night, Suede's revenue for the month totaled around 1,000,000 copper coins. Even though most of the fabric wasn't included in the production costs, they've hired a lot of tailors from Chaos City, and they've also purchased some tools, so they've spent at least 600,000 copper coins, so the net profit is around 300,000 copper coins."
"So many?" Cyril was shocked. Suede didn't have any revenue for more than twenty days. In just two days, it had sold a million yuan.
But Kerry had a confident look on his face as he said, "Young Master, there's no need to worry. We also have a turnover of a million copper coins this month and a net profit of five hundred thousand copper coins. Moreover, I've pulled in a few big orders in the past two days, adding up to a total of a million and a deposit of five hundred thousand copper coins. On top of that, the competition ended at 10 o 'clock this morning. Most importantly, Suede posted a notice on the entrance last night, stating that all of their stock has been sold out. "
Cyril was ecstatic to hear this, and he patted Creed on the shoulder with a smile as he said, "I knew I was right about you, Creed."
The competition concluded at 10 o 'clock, and Geoffrey would send two teams to the two shops to verify the revenue and profits.
Regardless of whether it was revenue or net profit, Cree's Blacksmith Shop clearly held an absolute advantage.
No matter how quickly Suede sold out, there was nothing they could do if they didn't have enough stock. He was definitely going to win this competition!
"I underestimated you, Gloria. It's a pity that you're still going to lose to me." Cyril wore a smug smile on his face. He was already thinking about how he was going to humiliate Gloria.
Creed's face was also full of flattery as he leaned forward and whispered, "Young Master, you're definitely going to win this competition, but the girl you mentioned before …"
Cyril's brows furrowed for a moment, but they quickly disappeared. He smiled and said, "Of course I remember. I'll send her to your house tonight."
"Thank you, Young Master." Creed was ecstatic, and his mind was already filled with fantasies of that young and beautiful body.
A trace of disgust flashed through Cyril's eyes. He waved his hand and said, "Tell them to tidy up the shop and prepare for the arrival of the audit team. Also, tell them that they'll have a three-day holiday starting tomorrow, and everyone will get a big red packet."
"Okay!" Creed's eyes lit up as he ordered the workers to get to work. He then told them that Cyril was going to give everyone a big red packet. A commotion immediately broke out in the blacksmith shop as everyone thanked Cyril.
"You'll only get a few hundred copper coins, but I'll get the entire Family Moreton." Cyril looked at the cheering blacksmiths and thought to himself with some pride.
… …
A horse-drawn carriage stopped in front of the Suede early in the morning. Gloria, who was wearing a light grey dress, stepped out of the carriage and stopped in front of the shop. A smile appeared on her face as she looked at the stop sale notice hanging on the door. She then walked through the door that was opened from the inside.
As soon as Gloria walked through the door, Mars quickly walked up to her and whispered, "Young Mistress, the 30 dresses have all been prepared. We've also informed all the customers yesterday that we'll be able to collect all the money this morning."
There were over 30 young people in blue and white uniforms in the shop, and each of them had an exquisite wooden box with carved flowers placed beside them.
Gloria looked at those intricately carved wooden boxes, which were still exuding a faint fragrance, and those spirited young people, and nodded with a pleased expression as she said, "Very good. Let's set off now, then. All of the goods have to be transferred to the Blue Suede account before 10 am."
"Alright." Mars nodded. He turned to the young people, and said, "Remember, you have to smile at each and every customer. Make sure that the dresses are delivered to the customers in perfect condition. If anything goes wrong, you'll have to bear the liability of 100,000 copper coins. That's the only way you'll be worthy of your salary."
"Yes!"
All of the young people's expressions changed as they replied in unison. They picked up the wooden boxes with both hands and walked out of the shop. They mounted their white unicorns and disappeared into the streets of the Aden Square.
Gloria looked at Mars, who had dark circles under his eyes, and smiled as she said, "Uncle Mars, thank you for your hard work. Let's have breakfast together."
Mars looked at the smile on Gloria's face, and he was slightly dazed. He felt as if he were seeing the little girl who loved to sit on the swing in the garden and read books. Back then, she loved to smile. He came back to his senses and smiled as well. "Of course I can't refuse an invitation from Young Mistress."
The horse-drawn carriage left the Suede and headed toward Amy's.
…
At 10 o 'clock, two teams of eight people entered the Blue Suede and Cree Blacksmith Shops at the same time. All of the workers were asked to leave the shops, including Gloria and Cyril.
…
Moreton Manor. Geoffrey stood by the window with a cup of tea in his hand. He seemed to be waiting for something.

Today, I'd like to recommend a novel called "I Really Am Immortal" by my good friend Xia Hua. The title of the book is very flirtatious, and the story is also very flirtatious. I've been reading it recently, and it's very flirtatious and flirtatious. Emmm … Anyway, it's worth reading ~ ~ Introduction: This book tells the story of how an immortal should live a positive and correct life under the guidance of socialist core values in modern society.
