Traveling through ancient times, the empress insisted on having a child with me

Ling Chuan thought it would be a good idea to bring Zhao Youtang with him, so as to clear up the misunderstanding and prevent him from thinking that he and Tao Ran were having an affair. "Let's go now."

Zhao Youtang was stunned for a moment, with an embarrassed look on his face: "I now believe that Brother Ling has never set foot in a place of fireworks. How can a girl from such a place be so excited at this time?"

"Ah this..."

Ling Chuan was suddenly so embarrassed that he wanted to find a way to hide. He was a little prince of the nightlife, but he was actually ridiculed for having never been to a brothel.

"Ahem, well, I think the screen you use to display the glazed windows is not quite up to standard."

Zhao Youtang responded, "Please give me some advice, Brother Ling."

"Look, this glazed window is almost transparent. It needs some kind of cover, otherwise when a girl changes clothes in the room, everyone will see everything."

"Yes, yes, yes, what Brother Ling means is..."

"We can add a wooden stick to the top and bottom of the inside of the window sash, and then tear a piece of cloth to use as a curtain."

Zhao Youtang suddenly realized: "Brother Ling, this is a good idea. I will arrange for the craftsmen to make it right away."

Having successfully changed the subject, Ling Chuan heaved a sigh of relief: "Brother Zhao, I'll go to the shop over at Pearl Bridge and then come back to find you to go to the Jiaofangsi together."

Hearing about the Pearl Bridge, Zhao Youtang shuddered all over and said hurriedly, "Brother Ling, take care."

The specialty store on the Pearl Bridge side is naturally the shop owned by the Queen Mother. When Lingchuan arrived, the Queen Mother was naturally not there. The person in charge here is a fair-faced young man named Liu, who is two years younger than Lingchuan.

"Manager Liu, when will the decorations in the shop be finished?"

Although Liu Jin is young, he is a man of great intelligence as he is entrusted with such an important task by the Queen Mother. When he saw Ling Chuan, he bowed and said, "Master Ling is here. I have many difficult matters in this shop that I would like to ask you."

It must be said that Liu Jin was a man who knew how to deal with things. The difficult things he mentioned were actually small problems, which Ling Chuan solved easily. However, his compliments still made Ling Chuan very happy.

In Lingchuan's opinion, Mrs. Li is indeed a person who is not short of money. The decoration of her shop is much more luxurious than that of Zhao Youtang's shop, and is more in line with the high-end positioning of colored glaze products.

If Zhao Youtang's work had not been completed, Ling Chuan would have wanted Zhao Youtang to strip it down and reinstall it.

Just as Ling Chuan was saying goodbye and leaving, he ran into Madam Li's carriage at the door.

"Mr. Ling is a diligent man. He comes to check on the shop every day."

Ling Chuan stepped forward and saluted: "Hello, Madam Li. Madam Li's shop is really exquisitely decorated, but can Madam Li speed up the progress here? The jewelry gallery has been completed."

"Why rush? Slow work produces fine results. These colored glazes are precious things, so the decoration must be worthy of the word precious."

"Madam Li, that's a good idea. Speaking of which, I just went to the Jewelry Gallery and Brother Zhao made a suggestion. He plans to invite Miss Tao Ran from the Music Bureau to sing songs when the shop opens to boost the store's popularity. I wonder if Madam Li is interested. If so, I'll take you on board so we can discuss the price with Miss Tao Ran."

The Queen Mother snorted, "What does the second kid from the Zhao family know? There are plenty of people coming to support my shop when it opens, but that prostitute has only tarnished the reputation of my shop."

Ling Chuan was speechless. This Madam Li was really...

"Mrs. Li is right. Now that you've said that, I have a new idea."

The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows: "Tell me about it."

Ling Chuan drank a sip of tea, sorted out his thoughts, and then said, "Mrs. Li said that colored glaze is a precious thing, so let's create a precious brand."

The Queen Mother remained calm and just looked at Ling Chuan.

However, Ling Chuan knew that the noble Madam Li was interested in him because she did not interrupt him. "The jewelry gallery sells ordinary colored glass products, but we sell high-end ones here. For example, we do not sell the cheap nine-inch or one-foot colored glass windows, but only the largest one-and-a-half-foot ones. We also paint on them, and even write specific words or patterns on them according to the customer's requirements."

The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows: "Interesting."

Is this just a little interesting? Ling Chuan thought, then I can only use my ultimate move: "Madam Li, do you think this will work? Our shop specializes in high-end customization."

"What kind of high-end customization?" The Queen Mother sat up straighter.

"It means telling the customer that if they want to change the colored glaze decoration, we will provide them with a complete set... we are called the colored glaze high-end customized solution provider."

The Queen Mother frowned: "Please be clear, what supplier?"

The only time Ling Chuan dealt with a decoration company was when he was renovating his own house. However, even after the house was decorated, he still didn't quite understand the ins and outs of it. All he thought about now was the decoration company's design and all-inclusive plan.

"We provide customers with a complete renovation plan from design to construction. We can provide customers with several high-end, classy and stylish samples for them to choose from, and create a noble and refined feeling, just like... like a royal temperament and aristocratic style. In this way, no matter how expensive the price is, customers will be willing to pay for it."

Who is the Queen Mother? She has been living a life of luxury since she was born. How could she understand the details of house decoration? When she heard about such a simple and easy way, and Ling Chuan even dared to use the name of the royal family, she immediately felt interesting: "Okay, your idea is good, let's do it."

After receiving Mrs. Li's approval, Ling Chuan grinned and said, "But if we do this, the investment in this shop will be much larger. First of all, we have to decorate a few rooms in different styles so that customers can have a reference. We also have to hire a few more skilled and experienced craftsmen..."

The Queen Mother didn't care at all and stood up directly: "Just discuss this matter with Manager Liu. I still have some sutras to recite, so I'll take my leave now."

Ling Chuan smacked his lips. Rich people were indeed different. As long as they could grasp the pain points, they didn’t care how much money they spent. The customers of this shop had to be people like Mrs. Li.

His idea was still quite advanced for the time being. Fortunately, Liu Jin had a quick mind and he understood it after a little explanation. Of course, the details still needed to be carefully considered. Ling Chuan agreed to bring a detailed plan tomorrow and then said goodbye.

Zhao Youtang couldn't wait to get back to the jewelry gallery in the donkey cart. This showy guy even changed into an all-white outfit with hidden patterns, and with the folding fan in his hand, he looked like a real elegant gentleman.

But compared to Lingchuan, there is still a gap. Lingchuan is the one with sharp eyebrows, bright eyes and a handsome look. The most important thing is his confident temperament, as if everything in the world is under his control.

Of course, this was just Ling Chuan pretending. Not to mention the distant past, when he was assassinated yesterday, his face was pale and he looked extremely ugly.

When he arrived at the Jiaofangsi, Lingchuan realized that the Jiaofangsi was so close to San Tiao Lane. It was just across the street and around a corner.

He also didn't expect that the territory of the Jiaofangsi was so large. It was almost as big as a residential area, with at least a dozen or twenty buildings.

Zhao Youtang gave the madam at the door a tael of silver, then led Ling Chuan into the main gate of the Jiaofangsi, and then arrived at the gate of a small courtyard as if they were familiar with the route.

Although the door of the courtyard was closed, a faint sound of piano could be heard from inside. When Zhao Youtang heard the sound, he felt as if he was under a spell and was fixed in front of the door.

Ling Chuan rolled his eyes and went forward to knock on the door himself.
