I didn't expect the young girls of this era to be so bold and daring when it comes to romance. Lin Wanrong couldn't help but sigh, this kid is a typical type who can't sit still, these little girls are in their youth, although not particularly beautiful, they are each an enticing apple, making him look but not eat, it's indeed a bit difficult for him.

  Fortunately, he often thought of Dong Qiaoqiao, who was working hard to decorate the wine house outside. Although the words were not yet clear, her true feelings for Lin Wanrong had long been evident. Thinking of that girl's clever and obedient appearance, Lin Wanrong took out his firm determination and suppressed the evil fire with great difficulty.

  Lin Wanrong has been here for days, although he is very relaxed and comfortable everywhere, but he also misses the three members of the Dong family very much. He had wanted to go out and visit them early, but now he is a house servant, serving others, and going out once requires asking the steward for leave. Moreover, the Xiao family has strict control over the servants' outings, and there are some disagreements between him and Steward Wang, so it's not easy for him to go out at all.

  Lin Wanrong pestered Fu Bo, and after much difficulty, he managed to get a half-day off through his superior's channels. He wanted to take a look at the renovated wine tower, so he headed straight for Xuanwu Lake.

  Arrived at the wine building, saw the sign of Mei Wei Xuan has been taken down, dozens of workers are repairing and decorating. The decoration plan was all set by Lin Wanrong in advance, he wanted to operate this wine building according to his own ideas.

  "Lin Ge." Dong Qiaoqiao's eyes reddened as soon as she saw him and rushed over to hug him.

  Lin Wanrong has been in Xiao Fu for dozens of days, and there has been no news from him during this period. Dong Qiaoqiao is naturally anxious.

  "Qiaoqiao, you've lost weight." Lin Wanrong said, looking at Dong Qiaoqiao.

  "Big brother, you seem to have lost some weight too." Dong Qiaoqiao's nose was sour as she looked at Lin Wanrong's face.

  Have I lost weight? Drinking chicken soup and bird's nest every day will also make me lose weight?

  "Qiao Qiao, how's the renovation of our wine house going?" Lin Wanrong saw that this young girl was so sentimental and her eyes were shining with tears, so she quickly changed the subject.

  "Things are going smoothly, everything is proceeding according to your previous arrangement." She pulled Lin Wanrong's hand and looked around the scene: "As you envisioned, the first floor will be a mass restaurant, the second floor will be a luxurious private room, and the third floor will be a VIP room. However, you haven't said what the fourth and fifth floors will be used for yet?"

  Lin Wanrong smiled mysteriously and said, "The fourth floor and fifth floor are called Wealthy Noble Talents."

  "Wealth and nobility are talents?" Dong Qiaoqiao frowned and said: "What does this mean?"

  "These fourth and fifth floors must have a mysterious feel, they must be decorated luxuriously, and become the highest-end banquet halls in Jinling City. We'll set up some fancy names, like Golden Banquet, Shark Fin Banquet, the higher the standard the better, and of course the price will also be higher, we must raise our reputation, make everyone feel that being able to dine on these fourth and fifth floors is the most glorious thing."

  Dong Qiaoqiao somewhat understood, this is the advertisement effect: "What kind of person can actually go up to the fourth and fifth floors?"

  "Wealth, nobility and talent, as the name suggests, not only wealth is required, but also nobility, that is to say, not only money is needed, but also power. Such people can go up to the fourth floor and fifth floor. As for who goes up to the fourth floor and who goes up to the fifth floor, it's natural that the higher the wealth and nobility, the higher the floor."

  "What does 'talent' mean then?" asked Dong Qiaoqiao, wrinkling her small nose.

  "Genius is simple, aren't there many talented scholars in Jiangnan? I'll hang two couplets on the wall, and whoever's talented scholars can match the lower couplet, we'll invite them to ascend for free. The higher the floor they ascend for free, doesn't that mean their learning is greater? This way, our reputation will be greatly enhanced, all literati will take pride in ascending to the fourth or fifth floor, but not everyone can go up, so we still have to take care of business on the lower floors. This is called taking care of both ends, neither neglected."

  "Big brother, then you must come up with a more difficult couplet, don't let just anyone get it." Dong Qiaoqiao covered her small mouth and giggled.

  "That's natural, I have a belly full of ink." Lin Wanrong said with a big mouth and no shame.

  "By the way, Qiaoqiao, what about those promotional coupons I asked you to handle last time?"

  "It's all done as you said. Each chapter coupon has our seal on it, so it can take effect. However, big brother, does this promotion really have such a great effect as you said?"

  "Qiao Qiao, don't underestimate this promotion. It's a very successful marketing strategy. Take the coupons I had you make for example. A bowl of Yang Chun noodles is three copper coins, and a braised egg is also three copper coins, so together they're six copper coins. But if you use our discount coupon, both items together only cost five copper coins. On the surface, it looks like we're earning less. Actually not, originally someone who just wanted to buy Yang Chun noodles would have to also buy a braised egg, and someone who just bought a braised egg would have to also buy Yang Chun noodles. In other words, originally they only wanted to spend three coins, but now they have to spend five coins. This way, our unit price seems lower, but sales volume has increased, so we'll earn more than before. Everyone thinks they're getting a good deal, but actually it's us who are benefiting."

  This is a typical case of promotion. Lin Wanrong explained it to Dong Qiaoqiao in detail, and later she became the shopkeeper here. These principles must be clarified.

  "Dong Qiaoqiao nodded, her eyes shining with tears as she unconsciously grasped Lin Wanrong's hand and said with deep emotion: 'I understand now, big brother, you really know a lot.'"

  "These are all the usual tricks of those businessmen in my hometown, I'll teach you slowly later, and you'll understand them slowly too." Lin Wanrong said with a smile.

  "Hmm. Big brother, have you been doing well at Xiao's place these past few days?" Qiaoqiao asked softly.

  "Not bad, we have food, drink and fun, almost forgot about Sichuan." Lin Wanrong joked.

  "Really?" Dong Qiaoqiao's face was somewhat dim, her white teeth biting her bright red lips lightly said: "Then have you seen Miss Xiao? Is she very beautiful?"

  Lin Wanrong was stunned for a moment, he had been staying at the Xiao family for dozens of days, but only saw Mrs. Xiao once, and it didn't even occur to him that there were two more young ladies in the Xiao family, what a failure, what a failure.

  "If I said I had never seen this Xiao Sao at all, would you believe me or not?" Lin Wanrong said with a bitter smile.

  "Believe," Dong Qiaoqiao looked at him deeply, a flush of pink on her cheeks, but a hint of loss flashed in her eyes: "No matter what big brother says, I will always believe. Big brother is the most capable person in the world, and I will always support you."

  Seeing Qiaoqiao's injured appearance, Lin Wanrong shook his head with a wry smile: "I'm telling the truth, I've been in the mansion for over ten days, but I haven't seen the eldest miss even once. Besides, what would I see her do? I'm just a lowly servant in the Xiao mansion, she's a high-and-mighty young lady, not to mention that we wouldn't be able to have a conversation even if we did meet. You're just a silly maid, always thinking nonsense."

  Qiao's expression suddenly brightened a lot, she looked at Lin Wanrong and said with deep feeling: "Big brother, actually... I miss you."
