A peasant girl travels through time with a hospital, rising to become an empress.

"Master Jiang is indeed well-connected and has extraordinary skills. He found such a suitable shop so quickly," Nie Qianqian exclaimed.

After saying that, she took out several drawings from her bosom and handed them to Jiang Botao with both hands, "These are the decoration drawings I mentioned before."

Jiang Botao glanced at the drawing and was surprised to find that it depicted the very shop he had just found. He couldn't help but exclaim, "Qianqian, I just settled on this shop, and you've already prepared the interior design drawings. You're truly efficient."

He took the blueprints with both hands, examined them carefully, and as he looked at them, doubts arose in his mind.

On the blueprint, the central position on the first floor of the shop was not used to display goods, but rather a round platform with several bronze mirrors on it.

The goods were not placed in a prominent central position, but rather arranged around the perimeter of the shop wall. Opposite the round counter, there were also no goods; instead, there was a tea table, presumably for serving drinks.

The building consists of individual private rooms, some with dressing tables and tea tables, and others with beds and tea tables, each with its own unique features.

Jiang Botao looked puzzled and asked, "What are these for?"

Nie Qianqian took the blueprints and patiently explained to Jiang Botao: "This round platform in the middle is actually a large dressing table. There will be a mirror and a face towel on the table. When customers enter the store, professional staff will assist them in trying out the products. After trying them, they can see the effect immediately. With actual results, it will be easier for them to buy. This can also boost sales and spread word-of-mouth, so this dressing table is indispensable."

"On the left side of the round platform, skincare and beauty products are mainly displayed, which are simply called skincare products; on the right side, there are makeup products such as rouge and face powder, which are called cosmetics."

Jiang Botao was completely confused. In his memory, his wife's table was full of bottles and jars, all of which looked similar and smelled nice. He didn't realize that there was a distinction between skincare products and cosmetics.

"What's the difference between the two? Aren't they both applied to the face?"

Nie Qianqian: What an oblivious and clueless straight man.

Fortunately, Mr. Jiang lived in ancient times. If he were in modern times, it would probably take half an hour just to explain to him that sunscreen is the last step in skincare and makeup is the first step in makeup.

Nie Qianqian: "This is different; the effects are different."

"And what about this place?" Jiang Botao asked, pointing to a tea table on the side. "Is this a place for guests to drink tea and rest?"

Nie Qianqian shook her head. "That's not the case. Since we're selling products that help women become more beautiful, we need to emphasize both inner and outer beauty."

"It's not just about using rouge and powder to enhance your appearance; it's also about nourishing your body from the inside out to improve your skin and overall appearance. This is where I sell the beauty powders I developed. These powders have different effects; just mix them with water and they taste good. Customers can try them here."

Jiang Botao suddenly realized and exclaimed, "So that's how it is! You've really thought it through."

He then pointed to the blueprints on the second floor and asked, "And what about this place? What are these private rooms for?"

Nie Qianqian pointed to one of the rooms and said, "A woman's poor complexion is often caused by coldness in her body and stagnation of qi and blood. Deficiency of qi and blood will naturally show on the face. I have a complete set of massage techniques that can help clients unblock their bodies and dispel dampness and cold. Only when dampness and cold are removed from the body can one truly become beautiful from the inside out."

Jiang Botao exclaimed, "I never imagined that there were so many intricacies involved in a woman's pursuit of beauty, requiring both internal conditioning and external care."

Nie Qianqian: "There are no ugly women in this world, only lazy women. As long as you are willing to put in the effort, you can be completely transformed."

Jiang Botao then pointed to another private room, which contained a separate dressing table, and asked, "What's this place for? Is it for guests to get ready?"

Nie Qianqian nodded, "That's right. High-quality makeup products are only the first step. What color of blush is suitable, where to apply the blush, what kind of lipstick to match, and what eyebrow shape is more suitable—these are all very important. Many women don't know the advantages of their own face shape or what kind of makeup suits them best. But here, for just a little money, a professional makeup artist can tailor a makeup look for them."

Jiang Botao thought for a moment and asked, "Are all the products used in this store?"

Nie Qianqian smiled slightly and said, "Yes."

Jiang Botao pondered for a moment, his eyes turning cold. "In this way, customers may originally only want to buy rouge, but after the makeup artist in the store creates their makeup, they may like the makeup and buy lipstick, eyebrow pencil, and other items as well."

Nie Qianqian nodded in approval: "Master Jiang is indeed well-versed in the ways of business; that's exactly the point."

In her eyes, Jiang Botao was far more business-savvy than Zhao Xuanmu, and was indeed a rare and excellent business partner.

Nie Qianqian only needs to explain the business logic of this business in the early stage, straighten out the initial operation, and provide products continuously and stably. She doesn't need to worry about the subsequent matters at all; Jiang Botao will definitely handle them properly.

Jiang Botao held the blueprints and looked at them carefully again. Many details on the blueprints had been carefully considered by Nie Qianqian, such as widening the storefront to enhance lighting and designing a special area for displaying products to attract customers.

For anything he was unsure about, Jiang Botao asked Nie Qianqian to verify it.

After Jiang Botao had asked all the questions, he pondered for a moment and said, "In my opinion, the renovation of this shop will take about a month to complete."

Nie Qianqian did the math, "A month is too long. The New Year is in half a month, which is the most important time of the year. It is when people buy New Year's goods. Such a good opportunity cannot be missed."

The New Year is of great significance to everyone. During the New Year period, people have a strong desire to spend money. Money that they would not normally spend can be spent without hesitation because of the saying "It's the New Year".

Jiang Botao naturally understood this principle. He frowned and said, "The tables, chairs, and beds in the shop are easy to handle. I have several shops on Shizi Street that can customize furniture, and it can be completed in about ten days. However, the kind of mirror you need requires careful searching and meticulous polishing."

Nie Qianqian: "Master Jiang, there's no need to worry about the mirror. I've developed a completely new type of mirror, not a bronze mirror. Bronze mirrors have a yellowish tint, distorting the colors of faces and making it difficult to see the effects of makeup. The mirror I've developed can be called a silver mirror, and it reflects people much more clearly."

As she spoke, Nie Qianqian took out a small mirror. Jiang Botao took the mirror, looked at his face, and was so startled that his hand trembled, and he almost threw the mirror away. Fortunately, Nie Qianqian was quick-witted and caught the mirror.

Jiang Botao snatched the mirror back and examined it carefully. He exclaimed in surprise, "How can this mirror reflect people so clearly? So this is what my complexion looks like? It looks a bit yellowish."

Nie Qianqian smiled and took out another porcelain bottle: "Master Jiang really needs some nourishment. This is a skin-brightening and beautifying powder I developed. Would you like to try it?"

Jiang Botao looked at the porcelain vase, then at Nie Qianqian.

Who exactly is this person who truly understands the ways of business...?

They really sell things anywhere, big or small.
