Chapter 351: Chapter 352 Dark and Windy Night_1

"Sadly, I won’t be returning to Capital City either. I’m waiting for someone here," Xue Ling said lazily.

"So, this is the reason you want to partner with me?" Nan Feng asked as she looked at Xue Ling.

"Exactly, my goods aren’t selling, but I must stay here for an extended period. So I thought I could sell your goods. After all, yours are ready-made. I can just regularly pick up the merchandise from your store," Xue Ling finally revealed her motives.

Nan Feng asked again, "When will the person you’re waiting for return? If he doesn’t, will you still keep your shop here?"

"I’ll die here if I have to!" Xue Ling’s last sentence was surprisingly firm.

Nan Feng thought that Xue Ling wasn’t too bad. After all, Nan Feng would make the sales plans, and her business partner would merely help sell. A partner too cunning would be a threat, and a partner too stupid useless. Xue Ling was smart but uncompetitive with no ulterior motives, and her store’s location wasn’t bad either.

Moreover, the most critical factor was that Xue Ling didn’t want much from the profits. Nan Feng had set the shares with the couple at fifty-fifty, but Xue Ling only wanted forty percent. She claimed it was enough for living expenses.

When Nan Feng left, Xue Ling gifted her a few items: a purple lip balm, a silver earring, and a low-cut stomach drape. Xue Ling’s rationale was that it was rare for someone to appreciate her things, and she wanted to make a friend.

...

After Nan Feng announced her partnered store, some of the shops that applied previously were incredulous at her decision. Some owners even came personally to ask why Nan Feng had made this choice; she offered explanations like unsuitable location or consumer base.

Additionally, Nan Feng posted a notice outside her shop announcing her business partner. If anyone found it inconvenient to buy products from Spikenard Square, they could go to Xue Ling’s Square or Xiangxue Square. This was to prevent counterfeit and inferior products from appearing.

Following this, Nan Feng had more time to make face masks and cleansers, and she earned even more money.

Once she had the silver in hand, Nan Feng began considering buying a mansion.

She could reside in the mansion or rent it out; based on her modern life experiences, investing in real estate never harmed anyone.

Moreover, she wanted better living conditions; she didn’t want to continue residing in the messy courtyard.

...

Provincial City.

Under the cover of a moonless, windy night, an all-black figure moved quickly across the rooftops, like a ghost in the night.

The shadow finally stopped on the roof of a large mansion.

He quietly lifted a tile from the roof and listened to the conversation happening below.

Under the flickering candlelight, two people were drawing blueprints.

One said, "Per the instructions, the main bedroom must have a secret passage leading to the inner room, and all rooms should be interconnected. Decorations must be carved into the pillars and walls, then coated with bronze paint. The large and small windows should all be intricately carved and decorated with court-styled blue link patterns, coupled with paintings of celestial beings amid floating clouds..."

"Isn’t this reserved for the palace? The ordinary... ministers can’t use it, right? This could lead to beheading," said the other.

"But if we don’t do it, I fear we will be beheaded right away. Let’s just draw it as instructed."

"Sigh — we can only do as we are told. Let’s begin."

After saying, "Let’s not talk anymore. Let’s get started," the figure on the roof gently replaced the tile and disappeared swiftly from the roof.

The figure finally crept to the window of a small post station.
