Tang Yiran had originally thought that he could go to Yiren House to discuss the delivery business after the operation, but he found that it was almost lunch time, so he decided to wait until after lunch to discuss it.

"There's no rush, right?" Tang Yiran comforted himself.

While waiting for the meal, Tang Yiran decided to work with Yang Qing to print some recent promotional advertisements using movable type.

Tang Yiran waved to Yang Qing in the distance and said, "Yang Qing, come here."

When Yang Qing saw the boss calling him, he immediately ran over happily and said, "Boss, what's the matter? Tell me what to do!"

Tang Yiran said, "I need your help with something."

Yang Qing immediately became excited, "Boss, just give me your orders, it's fine, it's not a bother, you are too polite."

"Follow me." Tang Yiran called.

Yang Qing followed Tang Yiran to the backyard and opened the door of one of the rooms.

Pushing open the door, Yang Qing opened his mouth wide. Various tools and materials were placed in the room, including movable type blocks made by Tan Aotian, as well as ink, rosin, wax, paper ash, iron plates, iron frames, paper, etc.

"Boss, are you planning to live in the mud?" Yang Qing asked puzzledly.

Tang Yiran wanted to hold her forehead with her hand, but she still said patiently: "You will know in a moment, I told you to come and help me do it."

Tang Yiran and Yang Qing first spread rosin, wax and paper ash on the iron plate.

"Boss, what is this?"

"Adhesive." Tang Yiran said casually while working.

"Oh." Yang Qing nodded, but actually looked confused.

"Lay out these word blocks for me according to this advertisement." Tang Yiran ordered.

After Yang Qing had selected the word blocks and typeset the content of the advertisement, Tang Yiran put the iron frame on it, fitting it perfectly.

"Come, put it on the fire with me and heat it for a while."

Yang Qing quickly took action and together with Tang Yiran lifted the iron plate onto the fire. When the adhesive was almost baked, Tang Yiran instructed Yang Qing to remove the iron plate.

After the adhesive cooled down a little, the two of them used a flat plate to flatten the board surface.

"Boss, what should we do now?" Yang Qing asked.

"Wait." Tang Yiran said lightly.

After the adhesive had completely cooled, Tang Yiran brushed ink on the calligraphy plate, took a piece of paper and aligned it on the calligraphy plate, pressed it with a wooden board, and peeled it off. The handwriting was clear and neat, so he smiled with satisfaction.

"Wow! Boss! Is this magic? This is much faster than copying from a book!" Yang Qing widened his eyes in amazement and looked at Tang Yiran with admiration.

Tang Yiran looked at the tools with satisfaction and said, "This is called movable type printing."

Yang Qing nodded: "Movable type printing? Boss, you are amazing!"

Tang Yiran just smiled and said nothing. Yang Qing brought another stack of paper to print, and soon the promotional advertisements were piled up.

"Boss, this movable type printing is not only fast, but every page can be printed clearly and neatly. It's really an amazing invention!" Yang Qing said while printing.

At Yiren Pavilion, Zhou Shiren looked at the carriages coming and going outside with "Feimaotu Delivery" flags fluttering in the wind. He was quite curious and decided to go downstairs to take a look.

As a result, he found that the carriage stopped at the shops around him and moved things in and out, but never entered his own shop.

"Go and ask what this delivery man is doing and why he doesn't come into our Yiren House." Zhou Shiren became angrier and angrier as he looked at him, so he ordered the servant to go and ask.

The servant went forward and chatted for a long time before coming back.

"Boss, this Feimaotui delivery service is responsible for delivering things back and forth, including food, letters, furniture, etc. They also said that they will be able to deliver throughout Shenyu Country in the future, and they claim that it has fast speed, good service, and door-to-door service?"

"Oh? This boss has a very arrogant tone." Zhou Shiren continued to stare at the flag outside the door and said sarcastically.

Zhou Shiren just stared at the carriages until he was hungry, but still didn't see any signs.

"Forget it, let's find a place to eat!"

Zhou Shiren waved his sleeves and prepared to go out. Suddenly, a horse-drawn carriage came from a distance and stopped at the door of Yiren Pavilion.

"Whoa~" As the carriage stopped, dust flew up, making Zhou Shiren's green clothes gray. However, Zhou Shiren was rarely angry, and even felt a little secretly happy that the speedy delivery carriage finally stopped at his door.

A man jumped down from the carriage, locked it carefully before walking into Yiren Pavilion.

"Excuse me, who is the person in charge here?"

"I am." Zhou Shiren replied.

"Hello, I'm a delivery man from Fei Mao Tui Delivery. A Miss Qu Linglong asked me to come and pick up something she had ordered earlier. Here is the order, please take a look." The delivery man said after handing over the order.

After looking at it, Zhou Shiren called the waiter over.

"Go to the second floor and get the cosmetics that Miss Qu Linglong ordered according to the account book!"

While waiting, Zhou Shiren asked angrily, "Why do you courier guys go in and out of those shops, but never come to my Yiren Pavilion?"

The deliveryman said, "What are you talking about? We at Feimaotui Delivery have signed cooperation contracts with those shops, helping them deliver goods, so there are so many people coming in and out. I guess you didn't sign a cooperation contract with us."

When Zhou Shiren heard this, he realized that was right. No one came to him to discuss cooperation.

Zhou Shiren was so angry that he asked unhappily, "Who is your boss?"

Seeing that the boss looked unconvinced, the delivery man raised his thumb and said proudly, "Our boss? Our boss is also the boss of Xiehe Hall, the second young lady of the Tang family, Tang Yilan!"

Zhou Shiren smiled and said, as if he had suddenly realized something: "So it was her? That's not surprising."

After the guy came down with Qu Linglong's cosmetics, the delivery man opened the box to check the quality and completeness of the goods, then carefully checked the list. Only after confirming that everything was correct did he put a soft cloth in the box for cushioning and then put the list on it.

"Boss, I'll be leaving first. Don't worry, our Sprinter Delivery will definitely deliver the items safely and securely. You can rest assured."

After saying that, the delivery man picked up the box, got on the carriage and was about to leave.

"Wait a moment!"

The delivery man turned around and saw Zhou Shiren making the Erkang hand gesture to him.

"Boss, what's the problem?"

The delivery man asked confusedly.

"I have something to deliver now."

"Then please bring the items here and fill out the form." The delivery man handed over the form.

"No need to fill out the form, the things are here." Zhou Shiren said.

"You have to fill out the form no matter what you deliver, boss," the delivery man explained patiently.

Zhou Shiren asked somewhat depressedly: "What if it's a gift to someone else?"

"Send someone? Who?"

"Give it to me!" Zhou Shiren said lightly.

"Ah?!" The delivery man opened his mouth wide.

"No way?" Zhou Shiren's face turned black.

"It should be possible... I have never received a delivery order."

“But…” the delivery man spoke hesitantly.

"But what?" Zhou Shiren looked a little impatient.

"But you still need to put up a receipt." The delivery man handed over the receipt again.

Zhou Shiren took the order, quickly filled in the information and handed it to the delivery man, who checked the information and read it out loud.

"Cargo type: people, weight: 150 kilograms, delivery address: Xiehe Hall."

"Huh? Concordia Hall? Are you going to Concordia Hall?" The delivery man put away the order and looked at Zhou Shiren in confusion and asked.

"No?" Zhou Shiren frowned and said in a deep voice.

"Sure. Two taels of silver."

Zhou Shiren handed over the silver and knocked on the carriage to signal the delivery man to unlock it. After the delivery man took the silver and unlocked it, Zhou Shiren immediately stepped onto the carriage road and said, "Hurry up!"

The delivery man smiled and sat on the carriage road: "Just you have to wait a moment, I have some goods to deliver first."

"I'll add money!"

"Wait until you get VIP."

"That……"

"drive!"

With a wave of the whip, the carriage set off before Zhou Shiren could finish his words. Zhou Shiren had no choice but to sit angrily with a pile of goods. For a big boss, this was a great shame and humiliation.

Only after delivering a few items did the deliveryman take Zhou Shiren back to Xiehe Hall.

"Boss, we're at Concord Hall."

The delivery man spoke up.

Zhou Shiren jumped off the carriage with a dark face, without even looking at the delivery man, and walked into the Concord Hall with a cold snort.
