Upstairs, in the Sect Master's room, Miao Yi looked down at the crowd and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Sect Master, should we use the empty space in the backyard to open a restaurant?"
That was a joke. Everyone knew this was only temporary. There couldn't be this many people all the time.
Spiritual Master Yu Xu sighed. "They're all here to see the 'treasure of the store'. Shouldn't we take out the jewelry?"
Miao Yi said, "Let's wait for two more days. It's too much of a loss to sell them now. We'll take them out when they're selling for a hundred thousand each. Oh right, we can only sell five a day. We can't sell any more. Let's keep the popularity up for a while longer and sell some other stuff as well. "
"Sir, where did you get these jewelry? Are there any more after we sell them? "Spiritual Master Yu Xu finally asked what he wanted to ask.
"I'll find someone to refine more." Miao Yi replied vaguely. His gaze suddenly froze as he stared outside. His tone changed abruptly, "Why is that black bear Commander here again? Is he really here to cause trouble? "
Yu Ling and Yu Xu quickly flashed to the window and saw that the commander of the western district, Xiahou Longcheng, was already dressed in golden armor. He had a dignified appearance as he led a group of golden-armored and silver-armored heavenly soldiers and generals over.
"Out of the way! Out of the way! " Xiahou Longcheng's loud voice that blasted people away could be heard clearly even if one was standing on the building without casting a spell.
The three looked at each other with a hint of worry in their eyes. They tacitly turned around and quickly went downstairs.
When they got downstairs, they realized the customers had all been chased out. There were only two customers left. One was the gold-armored Xiahou Longcheng, and the other was a black-robed woman. She was slowly looking around the store. They all recognized the black-robed woman. She was the Second Steward who went to Planet Formless to look for the Thousand-faced Fox.
Xiahou Longcheng was obediently following behind the deputy chief steward. He looked like a guard and seemed to be quite loyal to his duty.
"Greetings, Second Steward!" Sect Master Jade Spirit quickly came to greet her.
"If I remember correctly, you are Sect Master Jade Spirit, right?" The black-robed woman smiled.
"Yes," Sect Master Jade Spirit said respectfully.
"I didn't think we'd meet again so soon." The black-clothed woman laughed. "I heard that the treasure of your shop is very famous. Huangfu Jun? I've also seen Y's' Slender and Graceful '. It's truly exquisite. Yu Yi was fine too. It was rare to see such beautiful jewelry, so she specially came to take a look. You don't have to be nervous, I'm just here to take a look. Nothing else, just treat me like an ordinary person. "
Treat me like an ordinary person? The few of them glanced at the entrance guarded by the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals. No one was allowed to enter. How were they supposed to treat them like ordinary people?
The black-clothed woman seemed to understand what they were thinking and explained, "Commander Xiahou said that you have a lot of people here. If we don't open up a path, it'll be difficult to squeeze in, so we specially brought a team of people to escort you. When we arrived, it was really crowded. It seems like you've managed this shop well. It's not in vain that Madam gave you this shop. "
Miao Yi glanced at Xiahou Longcheng, who had a serious look on his face. He realized that this guy really knew how to flatter. No wonder this coward could climb to the position of Commander. He was just here to take a look. You brought people here and cleared out all the customers in my shop.
"Thank you for your kindness, Madam!" Sect Leader Jade Spirit said politely.
"Alright, enough with the pleasantries. Where's the treasure of your shop? Take it out and let me have a look. "The Deputy Chief Steward also seemed to be looking forward to it.
He must have come for the jewelry! Yuling and the others turned to look at Miao Yi.
Miao Yi had no choice but to bite the bullet and step forward, saying, "Reporting to Deputy Head Steward, they were all sold out on the first day of business. We didn't prepare a lot of stock, and we didn't expect them to sell so well either. As soon as the goods were displayed, even the men were fighting to buy them. Even the ladies from the neighboring Heavenly Incense Tavern didn't manage to buy any. So we're temporarily out of stock. I'm in contact. "
As long as he had the chance, he would try his best to proclaim how good his products were, that even men liked them, and so on. He was trying his best to whet the appetite of the Deputy Chief Steward.
"Sold out?" The Second Chief Steward frowned. "But why did I listen to Huangfu Jun? Y said. You said that you saw that it was selling too well, so you intentionally limited the sales and prepared to sell it at a higher price after the discount period was over? If you have it, then take it out. Don't worry, you can do business as usual. I won't let you suffer any losses. I won't go out and say anything either. If you like it, I'll buy it at the normal price. I won't let you sell it at a low price. "
'That's easy for you to say. You sold it for ten thousand. Do you think we'll take a hundred thousand from you? It's more like you don't want to work in Sky Street anymore! ' Miao Yi muttered to himself. He was a little suspicious of Huangfu Jun? That woman Y was taking the opportunity to take revenge. Otherwise, why would she do such a thing? She was purposely trying to teach the Morality General Goods Store a lesson!
Reverend Jade Spirit and the others looked at Miao Yi, thinking that he would take it out. However, Miao Yi wasn't afraid of anything. He smiled bitterly and cupped his fists, saying, "Deputy Chief Steward, why do I feel like Shopkeeper Huangfu is making a joke out of our store? She shouldn't have done it like that. Replying to Second Chief Steward, it's not fake. It's really gone. There was originally one more. " He pointed at Xiahou Longcheng, "But Commander Xiahou took a liking to it. Our store refused to buy it. Commander Xiahou is a man, so he didn't force it. He just threw money at it. If he didn't want to sell it for one million, then he sold it for two million. If he didn't want to sell it for two million, then he sold it for three million. It went all the way up to ten million before we had no choice but to sell it to Commander Xiahou. Now, it's really gone. We have to wait for the goods to come."
Xiahou Longcheng grinned. He was now famous in Heaven Street. As soon as he appeared, as long as they heard that he was Xiahou Longcheng, as long as it was a woman, they would all stare at him. It was the first time in his life that he was so famous.
The Deputy Chief Steward turned to look at him and smiled. It was obvious that he had heard about it too. He then turned back and asked Miao Yi, "When will the goods arrive?"
Miao Yi replied, "It takes some time to travel back and forth. It should be here in two days."
The Deputy Chief Steward pondered for a while and said, "You guys have seen the situation I'm in. It's not appropriate for me to keep coming here to disturb your business. How about this? When the goods arrive, don't sell them yet. Send them all to the City-Guarding Palace first and let me choose first. I won't let you guys lose out on the price. How about that? You won't make it difficult, right? "
'He wants to see the good ones and pick them first!' Miao Yi thought it was funny, but on the surface, he quickly waved his hand and said, "It's not difficult. It's not difficult at all. The Deputy Chief Steward is giving us face by supporting us. It's a good thing that we can't even ask for. Why would I make it difficult? Don't worry, Deputy Chief Steward. Once the goods arrive, I'll immediately send them to you to have a look at them first. Send them all over and don't keep a single one. If Deputy Chief Steward thinks they're suitable, we'll bring them back to sell. "
The Deputy Chief Steward nodded and said, "That's settled then. When the goods arrive, go find Commander Xiahou and ask him to bring you guys into the palace."
Before Miao Yi could reply, Xiahou Longcheng was already looking like he was ready to die. He cupped his fists and said, "Understood!"
Miao Yi looked at him speechlessly, then cupped his fists and said, "Understood!"
The Deputy Chief Steward turned around and left. Xiahou Longcheng immediately followed him.
Once they were out of the store, the Deputy Chief Steward tilted his head and said, "Alright, you don't have to follow me anymore. I'm going back to the palace." He then quickly flew away.
Xiahou Longcheng bowed and cupped his fists to send him off. After a while, he stood up straight and patted his chest proudly as he looked around. He had regained the majestic and domineering aura of the Western District Commander.
Miao Yi appeared beside him and looked at the direction the Deputy Chief Steward disappeared in. He then looked at Xiahou Longcheng and transmitted his voice, "Commander Xiahou, did you give the jewelry to Shopkeeper Huangfu?"
At the mention of this, the arrogant Xiahou Longcheng immediately became a little listless. He sighed and transmitted his voice back, "He didn't want to accept it! I spent so much money, but he didn't appreciate it. It's a big loss. "
'Damn it! You scared me when I saw how spirited you were. I thought you had succeeded. You made me worry about the money for the congratulatory gift. It's good that I didn't give it to him. ' Miao Yi heaved a sigh of relief and transmitted his voice back, "Commander Xiahou, I have a way to help you pay off your debt to the store quickly."
Xiahou Longcheng turned around and looked at him coldly. "Why? Are you afraid I can't pay you back, or that I don't want to pay you back? "
'You're right. That's exactly what I'm worried about!' Miao Yi despised him in his heart, but he smiled and said, "Commander, you're thinking too much. But I have a way that not only can you pay off your debt to the store, but you can also recoup your previous losses. Commander, you can also make a profit. Are you interested?"
The bystanders didn't know what the two of them were whispering about.
Who wouldn't be happy when there was money to be made? Xiahou Longcheng's eyes lit up. "What is it? Tell me."
Miao Yi said, "Since Shopkeeper Huangfu isn't willing to accept the jewelry, I suggest that you take the Starry Sky to the auction house to auction it. As long as you prepare well beforehand, the starting price will be ten million Red Crystals. There will definitely be people competing for it. Think about it, Commander! Shopkeeper Huangfu's beauty is coveted by many men, and she's the one who set her eyes on the jewelry. Now that the jewelry is so famous, there will definitely be many people willing to buy it. Commander, this is a guaranteed profit. Who knows, you might even be able to double your profit! "
His reason for helping the bandit commander was simple. If he didn't think of a way to help him earn back his money, who knew when he would get the remaining five million.
Xiahou Longcheng's eyes lit up at first, but then he thought, 'Since it's a guaranteed profit, why should I sell it? Give it to Huangfu Jun then? What would Y think of me? ' He scoffed and said, "Just because Huangfu won't accept it now doesn't mean she won't accept it in the future. I'll keep giving it to her until she accepts it. Huangfu Jun? Sooner or later, Y will be my wife. Stop giving me bad ideas. Remember what the Deputy Steward said. Look for me when the goods arrive. "With that said, he waved his hand and led a group of celestial soldiers away.
Miao Yi was left speechless. He cursed inwardly, 'My good intentions were wasted. If you don't want to sell it, when are you going to pay me back?'
Before he could regain his senses, Mother Xu from the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant next door appeared beside Miao Yi with a smile. "Business is good. Busy, right?"
Miao Yi turned his head and put on a smile. "It's alright."
Mother Xu smiled. "If you're not busy, come to my Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant. I've made some good tea. Go have a taste."
Miao Yi was a little surprised. He was usually the one shamelessly asking for tea. This was the first time someone took the initiative to invite him. There must be a reason for someone to be so attentive. He smiled and said, "Mother Xu, you can just say what you want."
