The Prince's Beloved Little Wife
Chapter 52 Preparations Before Opening the Store (Part 2)
About half an hour later, a group of people slowly approached from a distance, led by Lin Yu. Behind him followed a group of spirited and distinguished individuals. These were all seasoned veterans with extensive sales experience, each eloquent and persuasive.
At the same time, another group of graceful women followed. Upon approaching, they all bowed to Ouyang Han and Chen Mengyao. After the greetings, Lin Yu spoke first, methodically introducing each member of his group. He not only detailed each person's name but also recounted their past work experience.
After Lin Yu finished his introductions, it was the women's turn to appear. The woman at the head of the group was poised and elegant. She first gave a slight curtsy, then, with a smile, began her self-introduction. Her voice, melodious as a nightingale's song, softly parted her lips: "My name is Chu Youran. I am fortunate to have the favor of the Prince, allowing me to manage businesses across various regions. From a young age, I studied the ways of commerce with my elders, and since the age of thirteen, I have been involved in various trades. In Jiangnan, I revived a nearly bankrupt cloth shop with a piece of silk; and in the northern frontier, I opened up a new chapter in the horse market with ingenious marketing strategies." She then raised her eyes, her gaze bright and confident. "I have some knowledge of and have participated in the management of the many businesses under the Longyuan Pavilion, whether it be jewelry, jade, or fine tea and wine. Now, I am here to use my knowledge to help you manage your business."
Chu Youran bowed again, her accessories jingling softly with each movement, as if accompanying her words. Those around her, hearing her self-introduction, couldn't help but admire her, their eyes filled with anticipation, wondering what new atmosphere this extraordinary woman would bring. After introducing herself, Chu Youran announced the names of her companions one by one. Then, she detailed the expertise of each woman. It turned out that this group all came from the Dragon Abyss Pavilion, specializing in handling various complex business matters on the go.
Hearing that Ouyang Han was willing to give such a talented person to her, Chen Mengyao felt even more grateful. Next, Chen Mengyao handed the brochure to Lin Yu and asked them to look at the merchandise displayed in the living room, instructing them to familiarize themselves with the items by referring to the pictures in the brochure. Then she left with the group of women.
Lin Yu and the others opened the boxes one by one, their eyes widening in astonishment. The scene before them was like opening a door to a completely new world. The everyday items were exquisitely crafted beyond imagination, their unique designs revealing ingenious practicality. He had never seen such a beautiful comb before; its teeth seemed to be polished from some kind of warm, lustrous gemstone. When he saw the modern mirror, Lin Yu's heart skipped a beat. He slowly reached out and picked it up; the moment his fingertips touched the mirror's surface, a chill ran down his arm and straight to his heart.
His reflection in the mirror was crystal clear; every strand of hair, every line of skin, was perfectly rendered, unlike the blurry, indistinct bronze mirrors he had seen before. He was filled with awe. How could this small mirror reflect a person so realistically? In his world, such a thing was practically a divine artifact. He couldn't resist turning the mirror over to examine the back, his fingers tracing the smooth edges, wondering what kind of craftsmanship it possessed. An indescribable excitement surged within him, mixed with a touch of awe for the unknown. He knew he had stepped into a wondrous realm; these objects before him were like a key, about to unlock a journey he had never imagined, and this mirror was the most dazzling starting point of this journey.
Then he looked at the sports equipment. Lin Yu's first attention was on the soccer ball, its round shape quite adorable. He gently kicked it, and the ball rolled rapidly, its speed far exceeding his expectations, leaving him speechless with surprise. Next, he picked up the basketball and slapped it hard with both hands. The loud "thump" startled him; the rebound caught him off guard. The tennis ball fascinated him even more. Its small size and the incredible speed it seemed to move when swung with the racket made it difficult to hit. Each time he missed, his curiosity grew even stronger about how to control it.
As the ping-pong ball bounced on the table, he felt as if it were a dancing sprite; the small ball, bouncing back and forth, possessed a unique rhythm. He was immersed in the novelty of these ball sports, his initial tension gradually easing, a smile unconsciously spreading across his face, his eyes filled with the joy of exploring new things. He knew that in this new world, countless other interesting things awaited his discovery.
Then, Lin Yu's gaze fell on a box in the corner. Filled with curiosity, he slowly opened the box, inside which various toiletries and bath products were neatly arranged. When he saw the toothpaste, he suspiciously unscrewed the cap, and a fresh scent wafted out. He squeezed a little onto his fingertip, and the sticky texture surprised him. The toothbrush's delicate bristles shimmered slightly under the light; he hadn't realized that these two items together were for cleaning teeth.
Looking at the soap beside him, a faint fragrance lingered in his nostrils, and its smooth texture was unlike anything he had ever seen. Then there was the shampoo; the clear liquid emitted a captivating aroma. Curious, he shook the bottle, listening to the sound of the liquid sloshing inside. The shower gel bottle was printed with exquisite patterns. He squeezed some into his palm, and foam instantly appeared—a magical transformation that made his eyes widen. These seemingly ordinary household items exuded novelty and mystery. He felt as if he were in a vast treasure trove, each item a gem waiting to be discovered, and waves of wonder washed over him.
The stationery amazed him, especially a pen that caught his eye. Its slender body, pure and textured in color, felt perfectly weighted to him as he picked it up. When he tried to uncap it, his movements were a little clumsy, as if afraid of damaging this delicate object. The moment the nib emerged, he curiously leaned closer to examine it; the metallic luster shimmered with the light of intelligence.
Then he picked up a piece of paper, as white as snow, smooth and even. He touched the paper, and the delicate texture astonished him. He took the pen and made his first stroke; the ink quickly seeped into the paper fibers, leaving a clear mark. In that instant, he felt an unprecedented sense of control, as if he could create his own little world with this pen and this paper. Each stroke was a dialogue with the rules of this new world. His eyes gradually burned with passion, his heart filled with a desire to explore more possibilities of writing. Between the pen and paper, he seemed to have found a completely new way to express himself.
Lin Yu felt his heart race; he could hardly believe such amazing items existed in the world. These small stationery items were more than just writing tools; they were like meticulously crafted works of art. He couldn't help but examine them, his mind racing with thoughts of the sensation they would cause if they were promoted.
As for the toys, each one was brightly colored and ingeniously designed, transforming into various wondrous shapes with just a few manipulations. The outdoor gear was even more astonishing; a blanket could automatically heat up when unfolded, and there was a small tent that appeared lightweight yet was exceptionally sturdy. Lin Yu felt his mind was overwhelmed; these things seemed to come from a fairyland. His heart was filled with awe and curiosity, and he couldn't help but reach out to touch these novel objects. The sensations transmitted through his fingertips confirmed that all of this far exceeded anything he had ever known before.
Meanwhile, Chen Mengyao led the group of women into the room alone. Pointing to the underwear and sanitary napkins in several other boxes, she said to them, "These are the things I need you to sell. They are all women's personal items. You can take them back and try them out first. Later, I'll test you on how to introduce them to customers." After saying that, she opened each box and demonstrated how to use them. In case they forgot, she even gave Lin a document to refer to and learn from.
Chu Youran's eyes widened, her cheeks instantly flushing red. She never imagined she would be facing such intimate feminine hygiene products. The exquisite lingerie, with its unique styles and thin, soft fabric, was a world apart from the rough clothing she had previously seen. And the sanitary napkins, in particular, filled her with both curiosity and embarrassment.
Her fingers trembled slightly, hesitant to touch it. Her heart pounded like a deer's, filled with curiosity about these new things, yet also embarrassed by the prospect of intruding on others' privacy. She glanced furtively at the expressions of the other women around her, noticing that they all wore varying degrees of shyness. Chu Youran took a deep breath, deciding that since she had accepted this task, she had to overcome her psychological barrier. So, she mustered her courage, picked up a piece of underwear, and gently stroked its delicate texture. She marveled at the existence of such unique items in the world, while secretly worrying about how to introduce these special personal items to others.
After the women were familiar with the personal items, they were told to take them home and try them out themselves, and come back in a few days. Then the group went to the main hall. Seeing Lin Yu examining the items, they were delighted. They went over to him and said, "Take these things home and use them. Come back to the palace in a few days, and I'll test you to see if you know how to use these items and how to sell them."
Lin Yu and the others nodded and carried their things away together. The group of women also left with their belongings, almost all of them with flushed faces. Lin Yu and the others found it very strange, but were too embarrassed to ask them.
After seeing them off, Chen Mengyao finally felt a sense of relief, hoping they wouldn't disappoint her. After dealing with these matters, Chen Mengyao returned to her room and lay down on her bed. She had been incredibly busy lately, constantly visiting this person or that, or checking on the shop's progress, and hadn't had a proper rest. Now, she decided to rest for a while. Tomorrow would be busy again. She wondered if drinking the Azure Sea Elixir beforehand would have any effect; she should try it tomorrow. Thinking about this, she fell asleep.
