Black Fairy, the master is a female ghost

The old woman stopped drawing her eyebrows and tilted her head to look at Lu Xunhuan: "Cross-industry cooperation, who can cooperate with us, who can bring us customers?"

Lu Xun Huan stood up and said, "I've studied anime before, especially drawing beautiful women's eyebrows. I'm the best at it. How about I help you draw it?"

The old woman was a little confused: "What anime?"

Lu Xun Huan sat down next to her: "Anyway, I can draw eyebrows. I promise to draw the best eyebrows for you. Give them to me."

The old woman handed him the eyebrow pencil with doubt in her heart: "Tell us how to cooperate across industries."

While helping her draw her eyebrows, Lu Xun Huan said, "Lend me a girl first. I'll have her teach the boys and girls at the Yangshan Restaurant how to do aerobic dance."

The old woman was delighted when she heard this: "What? Dancing in a restaurant?"

Lu Xun Huan nodded: "Yes, not only do you have to dance, you have to dance in the street to attract people's attention."

He continued, "Also, from now on, every night when the lights come on, your brothel will send several girls to the Yangshan Restaurant to dance for the customers. After the dance, you can collect tips or something. Maybe some customers will follow the girls to Yuan Shen Yuan Qian Lou."

The old woman blinked her eyes. "Is this what you call cross-industry cooperation, mutual benefit?"

Lu Xun Huan said, "I'm telling you, under my plan, the business of Yangshan Restaurant will soon double. By then, many wealthy people will flock to our restaurant because of our reputation. That will be a great opportunity for you to win over customers."

A smile appeared on the old woman's face: "Lu Suifeng, where do you get these wonderful ideas?"

Lu Xunhuan asked, "Just tell me if it makes sense?"

The old woman replied, "That makes sense."

Lu Xun Huan added, "Of course that makes sense, but before you start cross-industry collaboration, you have to be well prepared. First of all, the girls' clothes need to be of higher quality. They're going to dance in a big restaurant, and it wouldn't be nice to have your restaurant's name embroidered on their chests in front of so many customers, looking too shabby."

The old woman asked, "How much will it cost?"

Lu Xunhuan said, "Sister, there is no output without input. Do you agree with this statement?"

The old woman replied, "Yes."

Lu Xun Huan added, "The girls in brothels have a unique profession. 30% of their success depends on their beauty, and 70% on their appearance. And there are many things to pay attention to when it comes to clothing. As long as they dress appropriately and skillfully, they will instantly make countless customers fall in love with them."

The old woman said, "I understand these principles, but how much silver will it cost?"

Lu Xunhuan smiled and said, "Sister, you're worried that you won't be able to come up with so much money all at once, right?"

The old maid said, "Yes, with the best fabrics, the finest silks and satins, and making several sets for each girl, it would be a lot of money. As you know, our business is not very good."

Lu Xun Huan finished drawing her left eyebrow and handed her the mirror: "Take a look, is it okay?"

The old woman took a look and praised: "It's so beautiful. You are amazing. You can draw eyebrows better than the girls in our shop."

Lu Xun Huan then drew her right eyebrow. "When making clothes for girls, we have to make the best. It doesn't matter if we don't have enough money. Sister, there's a concept called installment payment. Have you heard of it?"

The old woman blinked: "What, installment payment?"

Lu Xun Huan said, "You don't have to pay the full amount for the clothing all at once. You can sign a contract with Wang Fu Ji Tailor Shop and pay the total price in installments over twelve months. As long as you can pay it off within twelve months, we won't charge interest."

The old woman thought for a moment and said, "So, for the first time, I only need to pay one-twelfth?"

Lu Xun Huan nodded: "You just need to pay me a deposit of one hundred taels for the first time, and the remaining payment will be calculated based on twelve months."

The old woman said happily, "That's great, Mr. Lu, can you make the decision?"

Lu Xunhuan said, "Don't worry, I can definitely make the decision."

The old woman was indescribably happy: "I'm so sorry, I asked you to advance the money first."

Lu Xun Huan smiled and said, "However, we must plan ahead and anticipate any difficulties. When your business is booming, others will inevitably become jealous. You must be on guard against others secretly making things difficult for you."

The smile on the old woman's face disappeared: "Yes, this is a problem."

Lu Xunhuan said, "Give me a list of important officials in the county and I'll help you with the public relations."

When the old woman heard this, she was delighted again: "You still have this ability?"

Lu Xun Huan handed her the mirror and said, "I've only used one percent of my abilities. Sister, there's no need to hesitate. Let's work together."

The old woman was so excited by what he said: "Mr. Lu, if you can succeed, you can come here for free in the future."

Lu Xun Huan laughed and said, "I can't afford that. If you really want to thank me, we can become siblings. In the future, whenever I miss you, I can just give you some pocket money."

The old woman praised: "Your eyebrow-drawing skills are really high, brother. No problem, I will do as you say."

Lu Xun Huan stood up and said, "Since that's alright, before the busiest time comes, gather the girls. I'll personally measure everyone's figures."

The old woman said "OK" and hurriedly walked out with him: "Girls, it's time to make clothes. Everyone come together and take measurements."

After a while, the brothel became bustling with activity.

The girls ran out happily and lined up.

Lu Xun Huan took out a tape measure from his bag and said to the first girl, "Stand forward. I want to measure your height, leg length, shoulder width, arm length, hip circumference, waist circumference, and chest circumference..."

One girl laughed and said, "Do we need to measure the butt and breasts?"

Lu Xunhuan looked at her and saw that her breasts were quite nice.

He said, "It will be taller later. Otherwise, if the quantity is too small, the clothes will be too small and it will be too tight when you wear them."

"Hahaha……"

There was a burst of laughter in the brothel.

Two hours later, when Lu Xunhuan left Yuanshenyuanqian Building, it was already dusk.

He held the deposit in his hand, and in his bag was detailed information about the body measurements, clothing styles, colors, materials, etc. of every girl in the brothel.

Moreover, the old woman has already designated the girl who dances best to go to the tailor shop to find Lu Xunhuan early tomorrow morning, and have him take her to Yangshan Restaurant to teach her how to dance.

After Lu Xunhuan returned to the store and paid another one hundred taels as a deposit, the boss was so happy that his mouth was about to cramp with laughter.

"Erwa, don't eat at the restaurant tonight. Let's go to my house and have a few drinks."

Lu Xun Huan asked, "How many costumes does Yangshan Restaurant need to make in total, and what are the sizes for each person? Have they been sent over?"

The boss nodded and said, "It has been delivered. I have asked everyone to prepare the fabric and we will start work tomorrow morning."

Lu Xun Huan opened the bag and took out the sizes and materials of the costumes for the girls in Yuan Shen Yuan Qian Lou, and handed them to the boss. "Yuan Shen Yuan Qian Lou, each girl will have five sets of costumes, a total of 200 sets. Since they use more silk and satin, the price will be higher. Each set will be 30 taels of silver."

When the boss heard this, he was so surprised that he could even stuff an egg into his mouth.

"Erwa, you charge such a high price, do people agree? Six thousand taels all at once?"

Lu Xun Huan smiled and said, "I will pay one hundred taels first, and the remaining five thousand nine hundred taels will be paid in twelve installments."

The smile on the boss's face disappeared: "Ah, still buying on credit?"

Lu Xun Huan said, "This isn't called buying on credit, it's called paying in installments. Don't worry, boss. As long as Yuan Shen Yuan Qian's business is good, you won't lose a penny."

He added, "I won't go to dinner. The old lady at Yuan Shen Yuan Qian Building recognized me as her younger brother and asked me to go and check out their business tonight and give her some advice. I'll go over there for dinner."

The boss said "Oh" and said: "Then...will you come back to sleep?"

Lu Xun Huan said: "Of course I'm back. Do I really want to sleep in a brothel? My Er Wa is from the village, simple and honest."

The boss couldn't help laughing and said, "Okay, okay, it's better to be simple. Go ahead, go ahead."

Lu Xun Huan whispered, "Boss, the reason we make money is to live a more fulfilling life. Come on, follow me to Yuan Shen Yuan Qian Lou. I'll arrange a date with the best girl for you."

The boss pretended to put on a serious face: "Erwa, you were just being honest and simple, how come you've become a bad person in the blink of an eye?"

Lu Xun Huan walked towards the door: "It's up to you whether you want to go or not, I'm leaving first."

The boss hurried over: "Erwa, Erwa, can you really help me make an appointment with the best one?"

Lu Xun Huan replied, "Of course, you're my boss after all."

The boss turned around and looked around: "Okay, I'll go with you, but you must never tell my wife, and Xiaolian, you must never tell her."

Lu Xunhuan asked, "Who is Xiaolian?"

The boss hurried after him and said, "She's my youngest daughter, your future wife."

Lu Xun Huan chuckled and said, "Don't worry, it will be kept strictly confidential."

He asked his boss, "Boss, is it good to have an employee like me? I can help you make money and take you out for fun."

The boss gave a thumbs up and said, "Great, you're the best guy I've ever met in my life. Oh, Erwa, I can't wait for you to be my son-in-law."

Lu Xunhuan said, "Boss, my name is Lu Suifeng. From now on, don't call me Erwa in front of outsiders."

The boss nodded: "Okay, don't worry."
