The Princess Agents Want a Divorce

Chapter 72 Trial Operation

West Street! The once peaceful street was shattered by the sound of gongs and drums!

Qingchi vigorously banged on the gong! Ever since he learned that the young master was opening a shop, he had been overjoyed. The young master had truly grown up! Even without the old master's support, she could open such a large shop on her own, let alone a girl! He was incredibly proud! The young master had even entrusted him with such an important position as the head steward! He had to work even harder to show his loyalty to the young master!

Don't miss out! Today is the first day of our Yipin Qianjin Pavilion's soft opening!

The crowd, drawn by Qingchi's shouts, quickly formed a circle! Many were curious about what Yipin Qianjin Pavilion did. Some impatient people even started shouting, "Manager, what kind of shop is Yipin Qianjin Pavilion?"

"Everyone, please be quiet and listen to me!" After calming the restless crowd, Qingchi began to speak in a gentle and detailed manner.

Our Yipin Qianjin Pavilion is a place with everything! Food, drinks, entertainment! A place for both men and women! Anyone can buy a ticket to enter the central hall! We have storytelling, dancing, opera, and auctions every morning and noon! Everyone who buys a ticket receives a free snack and tea!

The building on the right is the Beauty Pavilion, which is only open to women! The building on the left is the Wealth Gathering Pavilion, which is open to men!

Even after Qingchi finished speaking, many people still didn't understand! They were chattering and whispering amongst themselves! This was all within Gu Lingxi's expectations! It's normal not to understand something completely new!

Quiet everyone! These shops on the first floor also belong to Yipin Qianjin Pavilion! You are free to buy from them!

As Qingchi finished speaking, several shop assistants tore down the red cloth from the signboards of the shops on the first floor one by one, and opened the doors one by one.

Everyone stared curiously! A food stall! A dessert shop! A cosmetics shop! A tea and wine shop! A tidbit shop about interesting things from around the world! A general store!

Our Yipin Qianjin Pavilion is having a three-day trial operation! Today, everyone, regardless of what they buy or how much they spend, can participate in a lucky draw using their registered number!

First Prize: 100 taels of gold (5 winners)! Second Prize: Free admission to Meiyan Pavilion and Jufu Pavilion (valued at 500 taels of gold each) – all-inclusive service including food, drinks, and entertainment (limited to 10 winners per day)! Third Prize: One sow (10 winners)! Fourth Prize: One skewer of roasted meat (unlimited winners)! Fifth Prize: One can of sweet drink (unlimited winners)!

The crowd erupted in excitement! My God! 100 taels of gold? Is it for real?

Of course it's true! Would a store as big as ours lie to you?

Gu Lingxi clapped her hands! Several burly men lined up, each holding a tray! They lifted the red cloth, revealing golden ingots inside! This drew another gasp from the crowd!

Another commotion erupted behind the crowd! A chorus of shouts scrambled to the sides!

Leng Feng led a group of people, herding a herd of pigs, and they arrived at the makeshift prize-giving platform set up in front of the store!

Old Qin stood beside Jun Moli, his lips trembling in disapproval! "Is this even going to work? Who opens a business like this? Losing so much money before even making a profit!"

Jun Moli sneered... No matter who suffers a loss, this girl will never suffer a loss!

This shop owner is really giving away pigs! Hurry up and buy something to get a number and receipt! Otherwise, they'll all be snatched up! Someone in the crowd shouted this, and everyone rushed into the various shops to buy things!

Despite the thorough pre-opening training for the staff, they were still overwhelmed by the sudden influx of customers.

The food stalls were packed with people! The entrance was completely blocked! The irresistible aroma of grilled meat sprinkled with cumin made everyone's mouths water! Give me one skewer, give me two!

Gu Lingxi's lips curled into a smile! Hua Xizhi stared in disbelief! "Ling'er, you're amazing! You're truly cut out for business!" "Of course! This is just the beginning! The real money is yet to come!"

Jun Moli watched Hua Xizhi and Gu Lingxi chatting and laughing in the private room on the second floor, and felt a surge of anger! Couldn't this naughty girl stay home like a normal young lady, playing the zither and showing off her flowers? Why did she have to come out and show her face in public? And even putting her arm around another man! She has no sense of responsibility as the future Princess Consort of Li! She really needs to be disciplined!

Downstairs, the first group of people who had bought their prizes went to the raffle table! Most people won fourth or fifth prizes! Someone even won a pig! The person who won the pig was overjoyed! They proudly showed off their pig to everyone Zhou Wen knew!

Dog-wa's dad, you're really lucky! This big fat pig is worth a lot of money!

Haha! Yeah! I only spent less than 500 baht on a few skewers of grilled vegetables, and I never expected to win a pig! Things are going to be a bit better for my family now!

Some people won a "one-stop" experience service. Although they didn't know what it was, the prizes that were ranked above pigs must be pretty good. They were happily led in by the attendants to experience it!

"First prize! Oh my god! I won the first prize!" A middle-aged woman shouted excitedly on the stage, looking completely incredulous. The onlookers watched the lucky woman with envy.

Gu Lingxi had the gold packed up and handed it to the overjoyed old woman in person! She even kindly reminded her to quickly deposit it at the bank! The old woman then snapped out of her daze! After thanking her, she took the gold and ran off!

In no time, the news spread like wildfire! People went on a buying spree! Once the cheap items were sold out, they rushed to buy the expensive ones! The cosmetics shops and tea and wine shops, which hadn't been crowded before, were now packed! Everyone wanted to spend the least amount of money to try their luck with that hundred taels of gold! Or maybe a pig!

Gu Lingxi capitalized on people's greed and combined it with the psychology of winning big lottery prizes in her previous life to organize this event!

Hua Ying finished her training at the store! Today, she dressed as a man and followed Gu Lingxi around!

Seeing another hundred taels of gold taken away, Hua Ying looked pained! "Miss, you're not going to lose money with so much gold!"

Gu Lingxi smiled, her eyes crinkling! "Are you stupid?! Have you ever heard of the term 'shill'? Five of these are our people! I'm in business, not charity!"

Jun Moli, who was in the next room, smirked. She knew this wicked girl was full of tricks! How could she be so kind!

These rooms upstairs in the lobby were partitioned off for their offices! For privacy, Gu Lingxi specifically instructed that several layers of partitions be added! She just hadn't expected Jun Moli to have several ear piercings made in hidden places, practically undetectable unless you looked closely! There was even a secret door connecting two rooms!

The renovations were all done by his people, so naturally they all followed his instructions! Whether that wicked girl would find out or not was beyond his consideration! So what if she did find out? Hmph!

It's almost noon now, and the gates opened at Chenshi (7-9 AM), yet the area below is still teeming with people! Several carriages are also heading this way in the distance!

"Miss, it seems our invited guests have arrived!" Hua Ying excitedly reported to Gu Lingxi as soon as she saw the carriage parked downstairs.

Understood! Call me Young Master! If you call me that wrong again, you won't be allowed to eat barbecue!

"Oh! I understand, Young Master Ling!" Hua Ying playfully stuck out her tongue! The barbecue was so delicious! She didn't want to be punished!
