"Out of the way, out of the way!"
Miao Yi and Spiritual Master Yuling quickly turned around to look. Their expressions darkened at the same time. It was Xiahou Longcheng with his men again.
Xiahou Longcheng ran to the store's entrance and realized there was no way to enter. The hall was blocked off by a wall, so he quickly retreated. Under everyone's watchful eyes, the bastard dashed to the balcony on the third floor and entered. He didn't care whose room it was.
There was no one inside. He left the room and ran to the corridor inside, where he saw Miao Yi and Spiritual Master Yuling waiting side by side.
Xiahou Longcheng strode over and shouted, "Niu Youde, why aren't you selling the jewelry?"
He was so arrogant and didn't even greet him. He could enter as he pleased. Miao Yi really wanted to kill him, but he had no choice but to smile and say, "Commander, the jewelry is temporarily out of stock."
"Don't give me that." Xiahou Longcheng sneered, "Is it because you're upset that I'm buying them every day, so you want to cut off my source of income?"
'Damn you! How dare you say it's your source of income? ' Miao Yi wanted to stab him to death, so he sighed, "Commander, you're overthinking it. Not everyone can make those jewelry. The reason we stopped supplying them is because Madam Biyue said that we have to stop all work and refine a full set of jewelry for her. If we continue to refine other jewelry, we won't be able to explain ourselves to Madam Biyue."
"…" Xiahou Longcheng's expression froze. This reason really made him speechless.
After sending the bastard off, Miao Yi pointed outside the window and snarled, "I'll make this bastard pay me back with interest sooner or later. I'll teach him a lesson when I get the chance. Bastard!"
He finally experienced the difference between a commoner and an official once again.
Spiritual Master Yuling didn't object, which was rare. Even he wanted to kill Xiahou Longcheng …
For the next few days, Mother Xu, Xue Linglong, and Huangfujun from the neighboring Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant — Y would stand by the window on the fifth floor and look at the Morality Goods Store.
Although it wasn't as crowded as it was at the beginning, there was no doubt that business was booming.
"… I've asked many customers who bought from the Morality Goods Store. Everyone said it's good!" The servant girl who went out to gather information reported the situation to the three of them.
"Everyone agreed …" Huangfu Jun? Y muttered. For a businessman, that was an excellent evaluation. It was not easy to get a customer to say it was good.
Her bright eyes looked down. She thought that she could force the grocery store to close down and turn it into a jewelry store. Who would have thought that the store would go against her wishes and stop selling jewelry? The gimmick of the jewelry was abandoned, and the Sundry Goods Store was launched in an open and aboveboard manner, returning to the essence of business. The only difference was that the sales method was innovative, and there wasn't even any publicity. In an extremely short period of time, it was sold with a bang and shook Sky Street. Perhaps it was not as profitable as the jewelry, but the popularity of the trade was even greater than when the jewelry was sold. It was really amazing.
"This is Niu Youde's idea?" Huangfu Jun. Y questioned softly.
Mother Xu smiled bitterly and said, "I've sent someone to take a look. Niu Youde was the one in charge during the reconstruction, including the communication with the craftsmen. He personally trained the Vitality Sect's disciples on what to do. There shouldn't be anyone else other than him."
Xue Linglong said, "Mother Xu. Can the Vitality Sundry Goods Store operate like this for a long time? "
Mother Xu chuckled and said, "They're doing business openly and honestly, with sufficient supply, good business, and a good reputation. Why can't they do it? I didn't expect a sundry goods store to operate like this. We'll definitely go there to buy things in the future. "
Xue Linglong turned to look at Huangfu Jun. Y said, "Sister, will you keep your promise and marry him?"
Mother Xu was stunned when she heard that. She slowly turned to look at Huangfu Jun. Y。
Huangfu Jun? Y's pretty face instantly turned red, and she forcefully found an excuse, "I'm saying without the help of outsiders. They obviously received help from outsiders. Otherwise, how could they get so much supply?"
Mother Xu and Xue Linglong looked at each other and pursed their lips to hold back their laughter. They did not continue to embarrass her, as they knew that words like that did not count.
However, what they said really came true. A maidservant came to report, "Mother, Master Niu from the Vitality Sundry Goods Store next door is here to see you."
"Oh!" Mother Xu was stunned, and looked at the two girls. Discovered Huangfu Jun? Y was obviously a little guilty, and immediately smiled, "I'll go see what's going on."
She went down to the main hall and saw Miao Yi. Miao Yi cupped his fists in greeting, while Mother Xu smiled and asked, "Master's business is booming. There are so many customers that our door is blocked."
"Mother Xu must be joking. It's not like you don't know that we're just trying to earn a living. We accidentally offended a noble and were forced into a corner. We don't even know how long this dinner will last. I hope that noble will show us some mercy!" Miao Yi sighed.
Mother Xu did not want to talk about that person, so she changed the topic, "What business does Master have here? Are you in the mood to come here for tea again? "
Miao Yi said, "I just came from the Hall of Heroes. Shopkeeper Huangfu isn't here, so he must be here. That's why I'm here to see you."
Mother Xu smiled, "Then you've come to the wrong place. Shopkeeper Huangfu isn't here." She knew Huangfu Jun? Y was feeling a little awkward at the moment, so he definitely did not want to see her.
Unexpectedly, Miao Yi shook his head and smiled, "Mother Xu, that's not very nice of you. I just happened to see you, her, and Xue Linglong watching from the window upstairs. Don't worry, Mother Xu. I have no ill intentions. Please help me inform them. "
Mother Xu did not expect him to have already seen her. She immediately felt a little awkward. She covered her mouth with a handkerchief and coughed, but did not inform them. Instead, she sighed, "I really can't please either side. Fine, I'll just pretend I'm the bad guy again. Come with me."
The two then went upstairs to the fifth floor. Xue Linglong and Huangfu Jun? Y was still standing by the window.
They saw Miao Yi coming up. 'Huangfu Jun?' Y was a little surprised. Mother Xu went up to greet him, "Master Niu saw us outside just now. He's here to see you." She then called Xue Linglong over and left together. She did not want to get involved in this matter.
Only the two of them were left. 'Huangfu Jun?' Y's face was expressionless.
Miao Yi smiled and cupped his fists, "Greetings, Shopkeeper Huangfu."
"What is it?" Huangfu Jun Y scoffed.
Miao Yi glanced at the dragonfly hairpin on her head and smiled to ease the atmosphere, "This hairpin looks great on Shopkeeper's head."
It would have been better if he did not mention it. Now that he did, Huangfu Jun? Y immediately recalled the time when this bastard put a hairpin on her head in front of everyone. For some reason, she did not take it seriously at the time. Thinking about it later, she felt embarrassed and worried that it would spread like wildfire.
However, what was strange was that no one mentioned it after that. Thinking about it later, it was probably because everyone's attention was on the Morality Goods Store's most prized treasure that they subconsciously ignored it.
Others could ignore it, but she was still brooding over it. She felt as though her innocence had been violated, but she could not say anything about it. Furthermore, she made a bet behind his back that she would marry him. She was a little embarrassed when she heard it and immediately shouted, "Spit it out if you have something to say. What is it?"
'Bitch! Don't give me a chance to let you be arrogant for now! ' Miao Yi cupped his fists and said, "Shopkeeper Huangfu, it's our first time here and we are ignorant. If we have offended you in any way, I hope Shopkeeper can be magnanimous and let us go this time."
He had no choice but to bow his head. If the other party wanted to do something behind his back, the Morality Goods Store would not be able to stop him.
'Huangfu Jun?' Y said calmly, "Did you get the wrong person? I'm not trying to cause trouble for you."
Miao Yi said, "Shopkeeper Huangfu, let's not beat around the bush. What do you want in exchange for letting us go?"
There was no point in beating around the bush. Everyone knew what was going on. 'Huangfu Jun?' Y said, "Nothing much. We'll talk when I feel that you're sincere in your apology."
"Sincere?" Miao Yi thought about it, then cupped his fists and said, "As long as Shopkeeper Huangfu can let the Morality Goods Store go, I will leave Heaven Street. How about that?"
'Leave?' 'Huangfu Jun?' Y was taken aback. He stared at him for a while and realized that his emotions were a little complicated. He realized that his mentality was messed up by the man in front of him.
"Whether you leave or not is your business. It has nothing to do with me! You just need to remember one thing. If you dare to ruin my reputation again, I won't let you off lightly! " Huangfu Jun's words were tantamount to putting it down gently.
Miao Yi was overjoyed and thanked him profusely, "Thank you for your magnanimity, Shopkeeper Huangfu. I won't stoop to your level!"
As for Huangfu Jun? Miao Yi did not know if Y meant what he said, but at least he agreed on the surface. The matter was settled for the time being.
After returning to the Morality Goods Store, Miao Yi did not interfere with the store's affairs anymore. Qidian had already chosen the location for the Morality Goods Sect. As for how far they could go, he did not have the energy to care about it. He could not handle everything alone. After all, he had his own matters to attend to.
In the end, the Morality Goods Store decided not to keep the courtyard at the back. They wanted to build a building and a shop that surrounded the area. There were too many customers, and they could not handle everything in a single day. Moreover, there were too many people who were willing to offer their goods. It would be troublesome to bring them all upstairs for a discussion, so they planned to build a special space for discussion.
Spiritual Master Yu Xu had already sent two batches of disciples from the Morality Goods Sect. He still had to go back to the Morality Goods Sect to recruit more people. He planned to arrange a few hundred people here to maintain sufficient manpower.
Miao Yi also decided to follow him back to the Morality Goods Sect.
In this regard, Sect Master Yu Ling, who was temporarily in charge, repeatedly urged him to stay. If Miao Yi left, he would feel a little uneasy. With Miao Yi here, he would feel more at ease.
However, Miao Yi had already made up his mind. He had his reasons. "Sect Master, I still have to contact the jewelry. After all, I've already promised Madam Bi Yue."
Seeing that he was still working hard for the Morality Goods Store, it was not appropriate for them to keep him.
Before he left, Miao Yi settled the accounts. The jewelry that was sold was from him, so naturally, it had to be included in the cost of purchasing goods. It could not be completely counted as income for the store. Otherwise, what would Miao Yi use to purchase more goods? They could not let Miao Yi only spend money and never buy anything.
