The Flourishing Era of Female Merchants

An Mi thought that Bai Yi would no longer be able to harass her openly in the future. However, it was clear that she had once again underestimated this cunning fox.

Yes, who can stop Bai Yi from doing what he wants?

As soon as An Mi spoke, Bai Yi began to disobey her the very next day. He continued to go to Shengshi Lieyan every day. When An Mi wouldn't let him go upstairs, he would casually place a chair in the lobby, leisurely drink tea, and occasionally chat with customers. His attitude was very warm and friendly, and he made no attempt to hide it, telling everyone he met that he was waiting for Miss Yan.

Those who wanted to curry favor with the King of Bohai seized the opportunity and visited Shengshi Lieyan every day. Of course, while taking the chance to chat with the King of Bohai, they also made sure to buy a few pieces of Shengshi Lieyan embroidery to give to their wives and concubines.

Firstly, his wives and concubines would like it; secondly, by supporting Miss Yan's business in front of the King of Bohai, it would be a blatant act of flattery, so why not?

In just a few days, Shengshi Lieyan's sales soared. Business was already good on weekdays, but with the King of Bohai presiding over the hall, it became even better, making people envious. Even Cheng Ying jokingly said that the King of Bohai had become Shengshi Lieyan's living advertisement.

After a few days, even An Mi couldn't sit still any longer. In the end, she had no choice but to go downstairs and call Bai Yi into the room. It wasn't that she didn't want to make money, but if it meant letting those people misunderstand Bai Yi's relationship even more, she would rather earn a little less.

In the end, Bai Yi continued to enter her room every day as usual, and she couldn't get rid of him no matter what she did. She discovered that Bai Yi was not only cunning, but also incredibly shameless.

On this day, An Mi returned to the An residence and was summoned by An Yuefeng. In the hall, An Yuefeng looked somewhat displeased. An Mi secretly glanced at the expressions of the others. An Xinlian's lips curled up in schadenfreude, just like Jin Qiaoyu's. Yu Fangfei had gained her freedom in the past few months, but she was also extremely well-behaved. At this moment, she sat in a chair, expressionless, and looked quite haggard.

Feng Xianglan's gaze towards An Mi was always filled with jealousy and resentment. These days, everyone knew that Miss Yan was making waves in Rongjin City, but only she knew that Miss Yan was actually An Mi. How could she be happy?

Even if he wanted to use Miss Yan to strike at An Mi as he had done before, it would be impossible now. Thinking back to the past, it felt extremely ironic.

The hall was unusually quiet. An Yuefeng remained silent, and An Mi also kept her head down, not daring to break the silence. Finally, An Yuefeng couldn't hold back any longer and said in an unhappy tone, "Tell me, how long have you been at Shengshi Lieyan?"

Anmi lowered her brows and replied calmly, "Four or five months."

"Hmph, you know it's been four or five months? It's almost half a year. Have you gained Miss Yan's favor at Shengshi Lieyan? Look at this time, Miss Yan is giving so many women important positions. Not to mention Cheng Ying who has always been by Miss Yan's side, just look at that Miss Yan. She used to know nothing, but now she's a manager at Shengshi Lieyan. And what about you? What have you been doing for the past four or five months? Why haven't I seen you at Shengshi Lieyan?" An Yuefeng's tone became even more severe. He had gone to Shengshi Lieyan several times, partly to try his luck and see if he could see Miss Yan, and partly to see how An Mi was performing. However, he had never seen An Mi. He had been holding back this anger for a long time, and today he finally let it out.

An Mi frowned slightly, but said as usual, "Miss Yan arranged for me to stay in the inner courtyard."

He went to the Flourishing Flames, so of course he wouldn't see her; it would be a miracle if he did!

"I don't care. In short, you must find an opportunity to see Miss Yan in the next few days." An Yuefeng gave the order domineeringly. In recent days, all the merchants in Rongjin City have been trying to establish connections with Miss Yan and cooperate with her, but Miss Yan has refused to see anyone.

He went to the shop to talk to the manager, but the manager said that Miss Yan didn't seem interested in doing business with the An family.

He was stunned for a long time after hearing the news. What had he done to offend Miss Yan? How could Miss Yan have put them on the list of households she refused to associate with?

He couldn't figure it out, but he couldn't just let this opportunity slip by. Miss Yan now owned countless businesses; even a small business deal she threw at him would be enough to make a fortune.

An Mi frowned. "Father, it's not like I can find an opportunity just because I say so."

No sooner had she finished speaking than Feng Xianglan gave a cold snort. An Mi looked over and met her sarcastic eyes. She understood what was going on, but deliberately asked, "What is Miss Xianglan sneering about? Or does Miss Xianglan have something to say?"

An Mi showed no fear whatsoever; instead, her eyes held a hint of smugness, as if to say to Feng Xianglan: Do you want to reveal her true identity as Miss Yan? Do you dare to reveal her true identity as Miss Yan?

Sure enough, Feng Xianglan paused, her expression turning somewhat unpleasant. Feeling the probing gazes of everyone focused on her, Feng Xianglan gritted her teeth, forced herself to swallow her resentment, and forced a smile as she spoke, "No, I have nothing to say. Just now, my throat was a little uncomfortable."

"Is your throat bothering you?" Such an obvious lie, who could believe it? However, no one pursued the matter further, as everyone's attention quickly returned to An Mi. Feng Xianglan could only bite her lip inwardly, thinking, "An Mi, you're ruthless!"

“Mi’er, think of a way. As you know, since those scandals, the An family’s business has been declining day by day. With the popularity of Miss Yan’s embroidery shop, our An family’s embroidery shop business has plummeted. Even the cloth shop is struggling. Now we are hoping to cooperate with Miss Yan. Maybe we can turn our business around just by using Miss Yan’s name.” An Yuefeng’s tone softened.

An Mi lowered her gaze slightly, but a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes. "Then let your daughter give it a try."

"Great, that's wonderful! We can't just give it a try; we must get it done." An Yuefeng immediately beamed, as if he had seen a glimmer of hope.

An Mi ignored his excitement, saying, "Our daughter is a little tired and is going back to her room."

After saying that, An Mi turned and left the hall without waiting for An Yuefeng to speak, leaving everyone in the hall frowning.

"Hmph, An Mi is becoming more and more disrespectful to people. Look at her!" An Xinlian snorted coldly and seized the opportunity to grab An Mi's pigtail and hold on tightly.

“Yes, that was indeed quite rude,” Jin Qiaoyu echoed, now standing on the same side as An Xinlian.

An Yuefeng frowned, agreeing with their statements, but said nothing.

Feng Xianglan's expression was rather strange. When would An Mi reveal that she was Miss Yan? Her intuition told her that once this was made public, Rong Jincheng would probably be thrown into chaos again.
