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

Jiang Botao held the small square mirror in his hands, his eyes filled with delight as he examined it from all angles, reluctant to put it down. Having spent years traveling the country in business, he had never been able to resist these novel and unique little objects.

Seeing his expression, Nie Qianqian smiled and said, "Since Master Jiang likes it so much, this little mirror is a gift for you."

Jiang Botao's eyes lit up, and he sincerely thanked him, then quickly asked, "Can this mirror be sold?"

Nie Qianqian explained, "I made this by chance, after many experiments. Right now, the quantity is very small, and after deducting what the shop needs, there are very few left. Moreover, the manufacturing process is not yet perfect. Perhaps we will have the opportunity to mass-produce and sell it after it is perfected."

Nie Qianqian knew the craft of making mirrors. Given time, it wouldn't be difficult to successfully make mirrors here, and then she could legitimately sell them on a large scale.

Mirrors are special items, unlike cosmetics. A simple claim of natural materials, Chinese medicine ingredients, or an exclusive formula can dispel people's curiosity and doubts. There are many ways to make money, and she didn't want to cause trouble for herself.

After a moment's thought, Jiang Botao said, "I've heard that such things exist in the West. We can tell the outside world that they are imported from the West. Don't rush to mass-produce them. Things are valued for their scarcity. Since we can't produce them in large quantities right now, they will be scarce and more attractive. If we want to sell them, we can set the price higher."

Nie Qianqian wholeheartedly agreed: "That's right. In the early stages, we should focus on scarcity. This mirror alone can attract a lot of customers to the shop. People have never seen a mirror like this before, and they will definitely come to the shop out of curiosity. With more people looking at it, they might end up buying it."

Jiang Botao rubbed his hands together excitedly, his heart burning like a flame, as he paced back and forth in front of Nie Qianqian.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the business had broad prospects, and his excitement became increasingly difficult to suppress.

"A rare product designed to attract customers, a product for internal and external use, and a unique service experience—this is simply brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!"

He had been navigating the business world for many years, and it had been a long time since he had encountered a business that made him so excited and full of anticipation.

He firmly believed that once the shop opened, it would cause a sensation throughout Fulin County, no, it might even cause a sensation throughout the entire province.

"Have you thought of a name for the shop?" Jiang Botao asked expectantly.

"Think about it."

Nie Qianqian remained calm and slowly uttered three words, "Yueji Pavilion".

Jiang Botao was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously said, "Women dress up for those who appreciate them?"

"No, I only dress up to please myself."

Nie Qianqian spoke with a firm tone, her eyes shining with a unique light.

Jiang Botao paused for a moment, then suddenly realized and clapped his hands in praise: "Great name!"

It's as simple as just pleasing yourself.

"Now that the mirror problem can be solved, leave the rest to me. I will do my best to ensure that Yuejige opens smoothly in the New Year."

Nie Qianqian: "I have no doubt about Mr. Jiang's abilities."

Jiang Botao smiled broadly and said, "When that time comes, Qianqian, you'll have two stores opening at the same time, double happiness! Congratulations!"

Nie Qianqian: "The two stores opened around the same time and target similar customer groups, so we might consider collaborating to expand the market together."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Botao immediately became interested, secretly admiring Nie Qianqian's endless stream of ingenious ideas. He quickly asked, "How can we coordinate this?"

"I need to consider this matter carefully. I will discuss it with Master Jiang after I go back and think it over thoroughly," Nie Qianqian said methodically.

Jiang Botao nodded in understanding. Both of them were decisive and efficient, and after further clarifying the division of labor, Jiang Botao rushed off to customize the furniture.

Ah Ling listened to the two talking from the side, feeling completely confused and only vaguely understanding.

However, although she had only a superficial understanding of business, she paid special attention to the skincare and cosmetic products that Nie Qianqian mentioned.

When she was still living in the manor, she was mainly responsible for serving the lady in her grooming and dressing. In order to please the lady, she put a lot of effort into this aspect and she also enjoyed it very much.

"Sister Qianqian, where are we going next?" Ah Ling asked, blinking her eyes.

Nie Qianqian pondered for a moment and said, "They're all busy with Qiyue Tower's affairs, so Yueji Pavilion will have to rely on the two of us. Let's go to the big rouge shops in the county and see what items are available on the market, and buy some to try."

Upon hearing this, Ah Ling's eyes lit up instantly, and she said excitedly, "Sister Qianqian, I know about this! I used to buy rouge and face powder for Madam. There's a very famous shop in Fulin County called Yanhua Fang, which has a complete range of goods and styles. The ladies and young women of Fulin County often patronize it."

Upon hearing this, Nie Qianqian asked, "You know how to do makeup?"

Ah Ling proudly puffed out her chest and nodded vigorously: "Ah Ling can! When Madam was alive, Ah Ling often did Madam's hair and makeup."

Nie Qianqian couldn't help but laugh, thinking that it was like a pillow being delivered to someone who was just about to fall asleep. She was worried about not being able to find suitable people to help Yueji Pavilion, and now, there was a ready-made candidate standing right in front of her.

“That’s great, Ah Ling. During this time, you’ll work with me to review and organize the products that Yueji Pavilion will sell. Make sure you are familiar with the characteristics, features, and usage of each product. In addition, you also need to learn how to use these cosmetics to do makeup on people. You have a foundation in this area, so with a little guidance from me, you will be able to understand it and can continue to improve on it.”

Ah Ling nodded obediently. She always listened to Nie Qianqian's arrangements, and she would do whatever Nie Qianqian asked her to do wholeheartedly.

After careful consideration, Nie Qianqian realized that Ah Ling might not be able to handle everything on her own. Tan'er was also suitable to participate in the affairs of Yueji Pavilion, but other matters had already been arranged for Tan'er at Qiyue Tower.

Nie Qianqian said to A Ling, "A Ling, send someone to invite your aunt over. Let's go to Yanhua Fang together."

Huang Zhenzhu has been mainly helping to take care of the children lately and has not yet participated in the store's operation, which is why Nie Qianqian has been somewhat neglecting her.

Nie Qianqian then remembered that Huang Zhenzhu had styled Liu Yan's hair during the housewarming banquet, and her skills were exceptional, so she could come and help out at Yueji Pavilion.

Huang Zhenzhu was doing laundry at home when she received the notification. Her two children had gone to a restaurant with Liu Yan and Liu Xiong. She had a spare moment, so she washed the children's clothes at home. When she heard the message from Nie Qianqian, she was somewhat incredulous and couldn't help but confirm it again and again, "Are you sure you want me to go?"
