I survived as a female assassin

Xin Youran:!!!

She thought she had pretended very well, so how did Manager Guo recognize her?

There were so many people in the front hall and none of them were caught, so how could he be the only one who saw through it?

Be careful of scams!

Isn't it just a bamboo hat and veil? No one would doubt Wei Wanwan's disguise skills.

This was just enough to prove her identity. Xin Youran naturally took off her hat and veil, placed it on the table beside her, and then stood up. "My name is Xin Qiji, nice to meet Manager Guo."

When she looked at Shopkeeper Guo with a smile, she realized that he had been staring at her. Being stared at like that made her feel a little uneasy. Could this person be some otherworldly expert who could recognize disguises?

"I'm so sorry for being so abrupt."

"Could I take a look at the ointment in your hand?"

Xin Youran secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. It was finally time to talk about business!

She quickly presented the gardenia ointment she had made. "I'm sure Shopkeeper Guo is knowledgeable and would know where this ointment came from."

The way that Shopkeeper Guo tried the ointment was really unique. He directly took a little ointment on his thumb, then raised his hand and applied it on the right aorta of the neck. His technique was gentle, and after it was completely moistened, he put his thumb on his nose and smelled it.

The whole action looked professional and charming. After a moment, he slowly said, "Excuse me, sir, who made this ointment?"

"Please don't misunderstand me. I'm not very talented, but I make a lot of the perfumes in Ningxiang Pavilion. I'm quite interested in them. Could you recommend some?"

"Oh? So Shopkeeper Guo is also an expert. No wonder he claimed in the front hall just now that this perfume was a trial product from your Ningxiang Pavilion. After smelling it, is he planning to develop his own?"

He is really an old fox. He even wants to get to know the master who makes the ointment. "He" Xin Qiji is a pilgrim now. If he knows the master who makes this ointment, why would he come to their Ningxiang Pavilion?

To deal with these twists and turns, you have to attack with a straight shot!

Xin Youran did not see Manager Guo getting angry and embarrassed. Instead, she saw him laughing loudly, then turned around and returned the box of ointment to Xin Youran.

At this moment, when she saw the smile of Shopkeeper Guo, she suddenly thought of the words "a smile is enough to make one charming", but she didn't quite understand why he was laughing?

"Mr. Xin, this is really interesting. Xia Yu, change the tea. Serve good tea!"

Soon, the woman called "Xia Yu" came over with another set of tea sets. The tea sets looked several levels higher.

This shopkeeper Guo really knows how to judge people and what he wants to do to them. Does that prove that she is appreciated by others?

Xia Yu quickly poured new tea and quickly left.

"Brother Xin, how would you like to cooperate?"

It works!

She still had to go to the largest brothel here before sunset, and she didn't have time to waste with Manager Guo. Since he was the first to propose cooperation, we have to be more proactive.

"Ningxiang Pavilion is worthy of being the largest incense shop in the capital. Since you've already issued a pre-sale notice, why not try some hunger marketing?"

As soon as Xin Youran made this suggestion, Manager Guo showed a puzzled expression on his face. It was the first time he saw an expression other than confidence on his face.

“What is hunger marketing?”

How could he have forgotten this word? They had never heard of this word before, so Xin Youran explained it to them according to her own understanding.

"It's a strategy for selling perfume, using a short-term limited quantity or limited-time sale to stimulate customers to buy the perfume."

Seeing that Manager Guo still seemed to have only a vague understanding, she continued.

"It's okay if you don't understand. Three days from now, I'll send you the ointment at this time. There are only ten jars left. You can put up a notice. Those interested can line up to buy it at this time three days from now. It's first come, first served. There are only ten jars left, so each person can only buy one."

"The price is 50% higher than the most expensive ointment in your Ningxiang Pavilion."

"And all the money earned from these ten jars must belong to me. What do you think, Manager Guo?"

After hearing this, Shopkeeper Guo actually clapped his hands and exclaimed repeatedly, "Wonderful, truly wonderful!"

"Just do as Master Xin says. Master Xin must be from another place, right?"

"I'm booking a table at Zui Xiang Lou tonight. I hope Mr. Xin will do me the honor."

Xin Youran didn't expect that Manager Guo would agree so immediately. He was indeed a man who could do big things.

She had thought that if he hesitated, she would give him an hour to think about it, but now they had to go to the second stop.

Not to mention dinner, even if Zui Xiang Lou had delicacies from land and sea, she would not be able to enjoy them.

"No need, Manager Guo. I have something important to attend to. We'll meet again another day."

"Then Xin will take his leave first. See you in three days."

Xin Youran packed her luggage and said goodbye. She had finally made it out of Crescent Valley. If she missed the last bus, ah, the last carriage back, then she wouldn't be able to go back tonight. Every minute she stayed outside would be dangerous. Her life was at stake!

Seeing how hurried she was, Shopkeeper Guo quickly caught up with her and said, "Master Xin, I'll see you off."

"Do you need me to arrange a carriage?"

Xin Youran waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no, Manager Guo is too polite. You're busy, you're busy."

Shopkeeper Guo watched Xin Youran hurriedly leave, then waved his hand and called out to his men, "Go, find someone to follow the man in the veil and conical hat in front."

"Report any developments at any time."

Xin Youran was walking down the street when she smelled the aroma of meat buns again...

I started drooling like crazy. It shouldn’t take long to eat a meat bun, right?

Finally, she couldn't resist the temptation and came to the bun shop following the smell of meat. Sure enough, it was freshly-made braised pork buns!

"Boss, two meat buns, please!"

"Okay! Ten cents for one, twenty cents for two."

Well, it’s worthy of being the capital, even a meat bun is twice as expensive as the one in Xinghua Village!

Xin Youran took out the heavy purse that Wei Mayan gave her before she left. She opened it and saw, wow, there was indeed a lot of silver!

When they get to the largest brothel in the capital, she has to hold her head high.

Today you can meet the top star there!

After paying, Xin Youran took the two meat buns and couldn't wait to take a bite. Hmm, this is the taste. The braised meat inside is in chunks, fat and lean. It tastes fatty but not greasy, fresh and delicious!

She can show off two at once!

"Boss, I have a question for you. Which is the largest brothel in our capital? As a local, you must know the most."

When the bun shop owner heard he was a local, he immediately felt a surge of superiority. "Then you've definitely asked the right person. Walk down this street, then turn left at two intersections. When you're on Chengnan Avenue, you'll see a big sign—Luoxianyuan."

Luoxianyuan?

What a nice name! Every girl in the family would be a fairy.

How could fairies be born in brothels? It was only due to various misfortunes that they had to end up there...
