Chapter 508: King Jing’s Perplexity of 508

After careful consideration, Ye Jiu added, "However, due to the unexpectedly good business on our opening day, and the fact that it was our miscalculation that led to the shortage of ice, from now on, every customer who buys five pieces of ice will receive a small gift prepared by our store."

"This small gift is something we have just developed, and it is not available for sale elsewhere for the time being. If it proves to be effective, we hope you will come and support us when we open new stores in the future. As for the trouble this has caused you, we truly apologize, and we will certainly be better prepared tomorrow."

Watching Ye Jiu apologizing profusely to others, Prince Jing inexplicably felt a discomfort in his heart.

Is this girl sick?

With him, the mighty Prince Jing, protecting her, she could walk sideways through the capital city, so why bother talking so much to these troublesome people?

With that thought, Prince Jing stepped forward, "What now? Do you intend to cause trouble in this prince’s shop?"

"Prince... Prince Jing?" Someone quickly recognized Prince Jing.

"May Prince Jing live in peace and good health..." In an instant, everyone knelt on the ground.

"This shop is under my protection. Anyone who wants to cause trouble should weigh their own abilities first!" Prince Jing declared coldly.

"We dare not..." Most of them were servants from wealthy households, along with a few commoners, but all of them unanimously agreed.

Prince Jing truly lived up to his reputation as the bully of the capital city, and this was the first time Ye Jiu had witnessed it.

A single sentence from Prince Jing was worth more than all the effort Ye Jiu had spent talking here for half a day.

Once again she realized, power truly is a damn good thing.

Walking alongside Prince Jing, Ye Jiu led him towards the back courtyard. On the way, she asked Prince Jing, "What do you think? Watching the business in the shop, becoming my backer won’t let you suffer a loss, right?"

Her tone was full of boastfulness.

Prince Jing chuckled, "Right, right, right, this prince has indeed taken a big advantage!"

Yet there was an unconscious indulgence in Prince Jing’s tone.

"You’d better recognize it." A big smile blossomed on Ye Jiu’s face under her veil.

Indeed, if it weren’t for the kind of relationship they had, he wouldn’t have had the chance to be her backer. After all, there was still Sikong Mo.

"By the way, how much did it cost to open this shop? I’ll pay for half. It doesn’t seem right to just take my share of the profits without contributing," Prince Jing suddenly remembered.

"There’s no need for that. You can invest with your status, and you only hold a thirty percent share of the profits from the shop. The lion’s share is still mine," Ye Jiu said.

Prince Jing did not want to take advantage of a young girl. He had already made up his mind and planned to send a silver note over once he was back.

This girl came from a modest background and probably didn’t have much money. Opening a shop in the capital city, where real estate was worth its weight in gold, was a simple matter for the rich and powerful but it could drain the entire wealth of an ordinary commoner and yet might not be enough.

This girl must have spent quite a lot in preparing such a shop, right?

And, selling ice, how did she come up with that idea?

Furthermore, where did she get her ice from?

Could it be that it was provided by Sikong Mo?

Even if Sikong Mo’s residence had a good store of ice, based on the shop’s business volume, how many days could it last?

Once the ice was used up, what would sustain the shop then?

A series of questions flickered through Prince Jing’s mind.

Ultimately, he couldn’t help but ask, "Girl, judging by the consumption of ice, even if you have a large stockpile, it surely won’t last many days if it sells like this, will it?"
