There is a bug in the space? That's called buff!

Chapter 16 A time traveler? Turns out to be a mixed-blood!

"President Lin, this is the amount of herbs I need. I want the best quality. Please deliver this amount to me in ten days. I also need the Chamber of Commerce to provide me with a long-term and stable supply of these herbs!"

Lin Zilong took it, took a look and said, "These herbs are fine! Don't worry, Miss Tang!"

Lin Zilong sat for a while and then said he was busy with work, so he took Lin Xingyu away. Tang Yiran saw that it was still early, so he decided to go and investigate the cosmetics market here.

She strolled around the nearby South City Commercial District. The business atmosphere in Nanshan County was quite good. She found a shop selling cosmetics. The plaque on the shop read: Yiren Pavilion.

As soon as Tang Yiran walked into the shop, the clerk's eyes widened at the sight of such a beautiful woman. He looked at the material of the clothes and knew that the woman was either rich or noble, so he hurried forward and said enthusiastically: "Miss, what are you looking at? We have everything here, including rouge, powder, bronze, and spices."

Tang Yiran took a quick look and said, "They are just ordinary items. Are there no fine items?"

The waiter said, "Miss, you have good eyesight. This is indeed the rouge and powder for the general public. The fine products are all upstairs. If you are willing to pay, we even have the goods specially supplied to the palace. If you want to see them, I will take you upstairs now!"

Tang Yiran followed the waiter's words and said, "Lead the way!"

The waiter then took Tang Yiran into the inner door. When the door was opened, there was a staircase. Going up the staircase and turning left, there was an antique bronze door. The waiter pulled the mechanism on the bronze door, and a device similar to a megaphone came out.

"Master! We have a distinguished guest!"

There seemed to be a small hole like a cat's eye on the door. After the person inside confirmed it, the bronze door creaked open.

The world behind the bronze door surprised Tang Yiran! The bronze door seemed like a door of time, and Tang Yiran seemed to have returned to the 24th century! The furniture here was all modern Western style, with bright large-area floor tiles, white European coffee tables, and gorgeous candelabra everywhere!

A swivel chair turned around and a handsome face said in a deep voice: "Sit!"

This man was wearing a mask with a taotie pattern. His face had obvious Western features and he was obviously a mixed race of Chinese and Western. His facial lines were clear, with high eyebrows and deep eyes. His pupils were amber, and his thin lips were slightly parted. He was as perfect as a sculpture, and his muscles were faintly visible under his clothes. It could be said to be God's masterpiece!

After Tang Yiran sat down, he said, "I heard that the boss has exquisite products that others can't buy? Can I be lucky enough to see them?"

"Of course! As long as the lady is willing to pay, all the fine products here will be displayed to her!" said the man opposite.

"What do you mean?" Tang Yiran didn't understand.

"As long as you pay enough deposit, all the fine products can be displayed to you! However, if you don't buy anything, the deposit will not be refunded! Do you want to consider it?" The man opposite looked at Tang Yiran with a playful look.

Tang Yiran thought it was not good. This decoration, this secretive behavior, could it be... a time traveler like her? Wouldn't the high-end cosmetics business that he was planning to start be ruined?

Tang Yiran was a little annoyed by his recklessness. He had just signed a contract with the Chamber of Commerce for eight hundred taels a year, and now... could he earn it back after his career was cut off?

She decided to test the other party, so she asked, "Are you from the 21st century?"

The man opposite was visibly stunned. "What do you mean by 21st century?"

Tang Yiran asked again: "Could it be the 24th century?"

The man opposite was obviously confused, and he was a little angry: "Excuse me! Miss, what do you mean? I don't understand."

Tang Yiran asked unwillingly: "Do you know about time travel?"

The other party seemed to be unable to suppress his anger: "What do you mean? Are you kidding me? If you don't want to see the exquisite works, you can leave now, no one will stop you!"

The man opposite waved his hand and ordered him to leave.

Tang Yiran finally felt relieved. She thought: You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a lamb, so she asked generously, "How much is the deposit?" She was not short of money now. The ten gold bars given by her grandmother were enough to last her for a long time!

The man held up three fingers.

"Thirty taels? No problem!"

Tang Yiran stretched out his hand to take out the silver, but the man shook his head jokingly.

"Three hundred taels? No problem!"

Tang Yiran said again, and the man shook his head jokingly.

"Three thousand taels?! You're robbing me!" Tang Yiran was speechless at the behavior of this unscrupulous businessman, so she only dared to say the second half of the sentence in her heart. She felt like her anger was about to burst out of her nose!

The man smiled and nodded. Although he looked very handsome when he smiled, it was also true that his expression was very annoying. If Tang Yiran had no fighting power, she really wanted to beat him up!

Tang Yiran gritted his teeth and took out three thousand taels of silver from his pocket and slapped it on the table, saying, "Who said I don't want to see it? I'll see it!"

The man's expression changed immediately when he saw the silver. "Great! You are straightforward, girl!"

The man turned away and took out several boxes from a cabinet behind him. The boxes were all carved from top-quality sandalwood. In the middle of the box were three seal characters "Yiren Pavilion". The whole body of this box embodied the word "expensive"!

Tang Yiran was already looking forward to what was inside. She hoped that the contents would surprise her, but at the same time she didn't want to. This conflicting emotion made her want to open the box even more, just like Pandora's box.

As the boss's hands slowly opened it, the mystery of the contents inside was finally revealed.

"Tsk!" This was Tang Yiran's first reaction! There was nothing special in the box, at least not what she thought. The box was nothing more than Persian imported Luozidai and other things that should have existed in ancient times.

After taking a look, Tang Yiran couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.

"What are you laughing at, girl? Are you satisfied with these exquisite products?" the boss asked confidently. This is the technology that his father brought from his hometown. This technology is the core of Yiren Pavilion's profit. So far, no nobleman has been able to escape the temptation of these exquisite products. Without exception, they all paid for them.

"Oh! No... nothing, I just thought of something funny and couldn't help myself!" Tang Yiran thought to himself: This is really like carving ten levels of patterns on cow dung and then selling it as gold!

Satisfied? Of course she was not satisfied, but since she had already paid for it, there was no reason not to use it.

So Tang Yiran said with a smile: "I'm quite satisfied."

Tang Yiran picked up a piece of Luozidai and asked, "How much is this?"

"Five thousand taels!" the boss replied.

"Five thousand taels? Why doesn't he just rob a bank?" Tang Yiran complained.

"Oh! I don't like this color." Tang Yiran said lightly. She put the thing down gently, fearing that if she scratched off a little bit of the paint, the other party would blackmail her.

She pointed at the lipstick-shaped lip balm in front of her and asked, "What about this one?"

She thought that lipstick was usually the cheapest luxury item, so the ones he sold here couldn't be too expensive, right?

"This one costs seven thousand taels of silver." The boss introduced lightly.

Tang Yiran came to her senses at this moment, and she finally understood what the three thousand taels of silver meant: if she didn't buy anything, then the three thousand taels of silver would be wasted; if she bought something, she would have to pay more than just the three thousand taels of silver.

Thinking of this, Tang Yiran said to the boss: "I am satisfied with everything you have here, but I can't decide for the time being. How about I think about it again?"

"Okay! I'll give you three days to think about it!" The boss waved his hand and handed over a piece of paper, saying, "This is my business card. You can promote it to your sisters!"

Tang Yiran felt that the business card seemed to be mocking it. She took the business card and glanced at it: Zhou Shiren!

"Sure enough! Zhou Paopi plus Huang Shiren! What a clever name!"

Even if she thought so, it was still difficult to relieve Tang Yiran's worries. She walked out of Yiren Pavilion and thought: I lost 3,800 taels of gold before my career even started. Is it because I am only suitable for medicine but not for business? She felt a little frustrated! This was a feeling she had never had before when she was studying medicine!
