PNB Chapter 187: Long Time No See
Chapter 187: Long Time No See
Fang Xiao glanced at the guy's movements.
"That's right, I do plan to open a new store on Beihang Road in Jiangnan Province."
"Great! I'll help you manage our new store well!"
"No need, you can stay here and manage the old shop."
"Why!"
"No reason."
"My wife, we can't do this. I am, after all, the son of a merchant, and I am skilled in business management."
Li Renyi hurriedly brought up his family background in exchange for the opportunity to go to Jiangnan Province.
Unfortunately, he did not get his wish this time.
Fang Xiaoxiao was too lazy to reply to him.
The reason is simple: the shop is short-staffed, and if Zhou Wenjian stays, they won't be able to find clues about the Crown Prince.
Pei Yan's identity is also somewhat strange. Not only does he have highly skilled subordinates, but he also built a secret cave to hide those people, all of which makes her feel very confused.
It seems like everyone in the family is hiding a secret, and these secrets are probably quite big.
Think again and again.
She maintained her original plan.
“You said it yourself, you are the son of a merchant. Our shop in Changle County is very important and needs an extremely capable person to oversee it.”
"Look at everyone here, who can compare to you?"
After this explanation, Li Renyi was left with no grounds for rebuttal.
Think about this.
He tried to speak several times, but held back each time.
Since we can't go to the provincial-level stores in Jiangnan, it doesn't mean we can't go there to purchase goods.
"Everyone has worked hard. After we finish this, I'll ask the kitchen to prepare some more delicious food for everyone."
……
December 12th arrived, the day the new product was launched.
Fang Xiaoming had a huge banner displayed at the store entrance, which read: "Lingxige's First-Ever Double Twelve Mega Sale Nationwide, New Products Launched."
Double Twelve—this was a promotional discount event she borrowed from an e-commerce platform in her previous life.
Since we're organizing an event, we definitely need to promote it throughout the city.
Three days ago, Old Zhang was tasked with leading the effort to organize things all over the streets and alleys.
Now, the entrance to Lingxi Pavilion is surrounded by people.
She stood on the makeshift stage, holding a simple megaphone.
"Dear fellow villagers, handsome men and beautiful women, good afternoon! Welcome to Lingxi Pavilion's annual Double Twelve promotion and new product launch!"
"Clap clap clap!"
A group of onlookers below burst into applause.
Although no one knows what the Double Twelve promotion is, everyone understands that it's a promotional event.
Because they all saw that there were many things with the word "award" written on them on the stage.
The items varied in size; the smaller ones were the black mud masks that were currently selling well in the city, while the larger ones were packed in a red wooden box.
Fang Xiaoxiao quickly gave a brief introduction to the event and the new products.
After all the explanations were finished, Zhou Wenjian went on stage to explain the rules of the event.
The event has now begun.
People rushed in as if the products were free, everyone buying them eagerly, afraid that if they were a step too slow, they would be snatched up by others.
As its popularity continues to rise, the Double Twelve event has spread throughout the entire Dayu Dynasty.
When the time came to January 1st.
Fang Xiaoxiao, dressed in a snow-white fur robe, stood at the shop entrance, which was already enveloped in silver frost.
Behind her were Li Renyi and others.
But Pei Yan was nowhere to be seen.
Since his trip to Jiangnan Province, Pei Yan has vanished as if he had disappeared from the face of the earth, and has never returned to Lingxi Pavilion.
"It's been so long since I've seen snow!"
"Didn't it snow last year?"
Li Renyi replied with great confusion.
He remembered that last year's snow fell much earlier than usual.
At that time, he even built a snowman that was over a meter tall inside the Jing'an Marquis's residence.
Fang Xiaoxiao sighed but did not give a direct answer.
Originally from Sichuan and Chongqing, she rarely saw snow, especially the snow in front of her that was about ten centimeters deep.
When you step into the snow, your snow boots are buried.
Every step leaves a deep dent.
Due to the heavy snow, many people have stayed indoors to keep warm, and very few people have gone out for a stroll.
The once bustling street now appears so lonely and quiet.
Many shops along the street have already closed and put up their displays.
Many shopkeepers returned to their hometowns.
Only their Lingxi Pavilion remained open.
After the last Double Twelve event, many merchants began to seek cooperation, and many stores even changed their storefront signs to the Lingxige name. It can be said that in Changle County now, if you want to open a store and do business, you must stock some Lingxige products.
Another option is to join Lingxige as a franchisee and obtain authorization for the Lingxige brand name, which will ensure your store's business is very successful.
Just in time.
A handsome man walked toward them.
Behind him followed a woman dressed in a black robe.
The woman wore a black veil, concealing her face and revealing only a pair of alluring, peach-blossom-like eyes.
"Little Man, the Heroine!"
Fang Xiaoxiao recognized the woman at a glance.
Isn't this the same skilled female knight-errant who saved her back then, dressed in black?
At that time, she had made a promise with the female knight that she must come to the store on December 12th.
She was going to give the heroine a whole set of women's skincare products, as well as newly developed brown sugar ginger tea.
But in the end, after waiting for more than half a month, the heroine still did not come.
Unexpectedly, the female knight appeared behind Pei Yan.
She walked towards the two of them with some difficulty, her feet sinking into the pristine white snow.
Pei Yan maintained his aloof demeanor, still wearing the same blue robe, but now with an additional light blue fur coat.
He looked at Fang Xiaoxiao, whom he hadn't seen in a long time. He wanted to go and greet her, but he stayed where he was, waiting for her arrival with an air of superiority.
Fang Xiaoxiao walked quickly to them, bypassing Pei Yan whom she hadn't seen in a long time, and headed towards the heroine Xiaoman.
"Little Man, I thought I'd never see you again!"
When Xiaoman saw the person who came, she was first surprised, and then felt a little guilty.
"I'm sorry, my wife, I've broken my promise."
"It's alright, it's already great that you came."
Fang Xiaoxiao enthusiastically reached out and took the heroine's hand, completely ignoring the person beside her.
Pei Yan's lips twitched involuntarily upon seeing this.
He had escaped death, so how could the person in front of him be like this?
Even a perfunctory greeting would be fine.
But why is it like this?
Pei Yan felt a surge of frustration, but didn't know how to vent it. He could only stare coldly at the two women in front of him.
Fang Xiaoxiao didn't care about the person next to her who hadn't been home for over half a month.
Her eyes were now completely fixed on the female knight Xiaoman in front of her.
As the saying goes, beautiful women love heroes, regardless of gender.
"Xiaoman, come with me to the shop to warm up. I have lots of nice things to give you."
"This is not good!"
Xiaoman glanced at her master with a embarrassed expression.
Pei Yan already had a cold expression on his face, and even wanted to reprimand Fang Xiaoxiao.
Seeing that her master did not stop her, Xiaoman assumed that she should agree, so she disregarded her master's true thoughts and walked straight with Fang Xiaoxiao toward the shop.
