The villain and the powerful official secretly read the diary and broke my plot every day

Just as the noble lady was secretly complaining, she heard Du Yurao's voice behind her: "Is the Yanlou Theater you mentioned upstairs?"

"Yes, we have a premiere this afternoon," the Yanlou clerk replied with a smile. "Our theater performs stories not currently available in the capital, including 'The Red Fox Girl' by Mr. Liao Zhai. All subsequent performances will be completed here a month later before being bound into volumes and distributed in the capital. In addition to Mr. Liao Zhai, we also have writers of various other types of vernacular novels. We change the repertoire every ten days, and it's absolutely worth the money."

"That membership, five thousand taels a year, I've subscribed."

Du Yurao spent money lavishly and her voice was very heroic.

Ruan Chengsi, who was standing by, was stunned. She subconsciously pulled Du Yurao's sleeve and whispered in her ear, "You haven't experienced anything yet. Do you want to reconsider it?"

If Ruan Chengsi didn't know that she and Gu Yanhuan were not familiar with each other at all, he would have suspected that this girl was a special hire hired by Gu Yanhuan.

"Believe me, these five thousand taels will definitely not be a loss."

Du Yurao said confidently that she spent the money for her idol, Mr. Liao Zhai!

At worst, at worst... she could get scolded by her dad when she gets home. Mom would always help her anyway.

For a big family like theirs, five thousand taels is really not worth mentioning.

"Well, then I want that too... for the criticized membership."

Ruan Chengsi is still very loyal, not to mention that although the Annan Marquisate has little power now, it still has a lot of money.

Even for his friend Du Yurao, Ruan Chengsi willingly took the five thousand taels.

Seeing how generous these two noble ladies were, the clerk's smile brightened even more. "You two are truly generous. I'll help you register as VIPs right away. Oh, I forgot to mention that today is the first day of our store's opening, and all VIP members will receive a 20% discount. There's also a limited-edition VIP gift. This means you only need to spend four thousand taels of silver each to obtain a one-year VIP membership at Yan Lou, worth five thousand taels, and an additional beauty gift pack worth three thousand taels!"

A VIP membership that costs four thousand taels of silver a year can also get an additional beauty gift package worth three thousand taels?

Doesn’t this mean that only one thousand taels of silver were spent?

Ordinary members have to pay one thousand and two taels of silver a year!

Moreover, this one thousand taels of silver is the annual membership fee, which on average is equivalent to just over two taels of silver a day.

What can you do with more than two taels of silver?

Those delicious drinks and food on the first floor of Yanlou would be worth more than just two taels of silver if they were taken outside, right?

Hearing what the Yanlou clerk said, Ruan Chengsi quickly did a small calculation in his mind, then immediately pulled Du Yurao's sleeve with a smile on his face, and said happily: "Yurao, this membership is not a loss, I even feel that I have made a profit. This Miss Gu is really a kind person!"

Du Yurao: ...

You are a really down-to-earth person.

"This gentleman is right." After hearing Ruan Chengsi's words, the female clerk at Yanlou said, "This is our grand opening promotion. It's only this time. The limited gifts are limited. Once they are given away, they will be gone. Buy early and enjoy it sooner!"

"Then... then I want to buy one too."

The noble lady who asked the price at the beginning couldn't help but speak at this time.

In fact, she has not yet started to experience the various projects in Yanlou, but these are not important, and money is not important either.

The important thing is that as a noble lady in the capital, she cannot fall behind others.

The clerk said that the so-called limited gifts for criticized members are limited in number. What if someone else buys them in advance and all the gift quotas are gone? Wouldn’t it be very embarrassing for me?

"I'll buy it too!"

"Count me in for another one!"

"It's only a few thousand taels of silver, which will last for a year. It's quite cheap here."

There were only six or seven people in their group originally. After listening to the clerk's introduction and with Du Yurao and Ruan Chengsi taking the lead, almost everyone directly bought a VIP annual membership. There were even people who happened to be passing by and had no idea what was going on, but they subconsciously joined in.

Following the trend.

This is also the daily practice of noble ladies in Beijing.

…………

Of course, only a small group of people are engaged in blind consumption, while the rest of the people are more likely to experience the various unique services in Yanlou.

Especially Werewolf——

Please close your eyes when it is dark, and open your eyes if you are a werewolf.

A group of noble ladies held their breath and sat in the Werewolf room, watching the shop assistants play Werewolf. Although they were just spectators, they were more anxious than the people on the field.

Unfortunately, this room was silent and the audience was not allowed to make any sound. They were all very anxious at this moment.

That priestess was so stupid, she poisoned the wrong person!

That detective was even more outrageous, he actually treated the werewolf as a good guy!

…………

They were obviously just spectators, but they were more nervous than the players at the long table.

These noble ladies in Beijing were all well-educated, and some were even very talented, so this game that tested IQ, eloquence, and acting skills quickly whetted their appetite.

A game ends with the werewolf winning.

After the game was over, the audience was finally able to speak up. The ladies immediately started chattering about it, and some even called the host of Werewolf right away, saying that they also wanted to play this game.

The Werewolf host immediately smiled charmingly upon hearing the customer's request. "Dear guest, our game project hasn't officially opened yet. However, if you'd like to experience it in advance, that's fine. All you need to do is become our VIP member..."

At the same time, the shop assistants in every room were busy selling products with a smile on their faces.

In the lobby on the first floor of Yan Building, Jiang Jiang stood in the corner with a smile on her face, watching the shop assistants busying around collecting money and handing out specially made VIP ID cards.

Each of these plaques represents four thousand taels of silver.

Ten yuan equals forty thousand taels...

It's all pure silver, it's all money!

As for the so-called opening limited beauty gift package worth three thousand taels, it is indeed a very exquisite gift package. It contains Yunyue’s special perfume, essential oil fragrance, whitening mask, and some jade cream she prepared.

These things don't cost much, but they are uniquely made and there is no other such thing in Beijing.

If these ladies take the items home and find them useful, and want to buy them back, they will have to order them from Yanlou at a higher price...

These unique high-end products are actually Yanlou’s real way to make money.

As for the membership fee, it’s nothing at all.

"Sister Jiang Jiang, this membership-based business is really interesting."

Li Pingan followed Jiang Jiang quietly and whispered that when Yun Yue first proposed the membership system, many people did not understand.

There are so many delicious foods, drinks and fun things in Yanlou, and they are all provided to members for free?

Wouldn’t they be at a disadvantage then?

Later, Yunyue explained the benefits of the membership system to everyone, and Li Pingan gradually understood -

Membership represents identity.

Being a distinguished member is a symbol of superiority.

Although food and drinks are free in this Yanlou, there are also some special beauty products, and even some clothing industries, daily necessities, etc. will be launched in the future.

These items will be sold in limited quantities, and only members are eligible to purchase them. Yunyue also said that Yanlou will launch a series of high-end blind box products in the future...

Li Pingan didn't know what a blind box was, but when he was accompanying Jiang Jiang to paint, he once saw the "Yanlou Development Plan" that Jiang Jiang had casually put aside. It was the document that she and Yunyue had studied together, and it mentioned some subsequent marketing plans.

There were some parts that Li Pingan couldn't understand, but he still thought they were amazing...
