After being expelled from the mansion, I changed the dynasty by writing novels.

He didn't believe Ye Yuwu when she introduced herself as the owner of the bookstore, and even made her leave in anger.

After all, why would a woman who looks so young be willing to show her face in public, and besides, her bookstore owner, Manager Ma, had never heard of her before.

Even if it were true, Manager Ma would only consider her an unknown person. Their teahouse collaborated with the largest bookstore in Bianjing, so why would they look down on a little girl?

Who would have thought her story was so good that it brought Cha Yunhe back to life? But the teahouses of the world have no shortage of money. How could they possibly not handle a small bookstore?!

As a businessman, Manager Ma naturally had a shrewd mind. He quickly came up with a solution and that day led the waiter from last time to Zhiyu Bookstore to apologize to Ye Yuwu.

"I am truly sorry, Manager Ye. I was blind to your talent and failed to recognize this gem. How about you buy out the storybooks from our teahouse? You can name your price!"

"Buyout? Who said I was going to buy out the company?"

"If you don't want to buy it outright, you can sell it exclusively to us, and we'll split the profits 50/50."

“No, I think it should be 30/70, I’ll take 70.” Ye Yuwu said, sitting in her bookstore and taking a sip of tea.

Manager Ma hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and made up his mind, "Alright!"

“No good.” Ye Yuwu smiled and interrupted Manager Ma. If you looked closely, you could see that there was no smile in her eyes. “Our bookstore is small and cannot compare with Tianxia Tea House. We have no way to cooperate with your store. Please ask Manager Ma to find someone else.”

Ye Yuwu returned to him exactly what Manager Ma had said.

Manager Ma and the waiter walked out of the bookstore with an embarrassed expression.

"Pah! You little brat! Trying to show off your limited skills in front of me!"

"Shopkeeper, I heard that this book was written by a writer named Wuming. I think we can start from here." The waiter's eyes darted around, and he suddenly thought of this information.

"You mean..." Manager Ma clapped his hands, "That's right, we can poach Wuming from our teahouse at a high price and have him write a book." Just like before when they spent money to poach all the storytellers, no one could resist the temptation.

If they gain a monopoly, then whatever they say will be law!

Manager Ma smiled and immediately instructed the waiter to do it.

Little did they know that this Mr. Wuming was also a little brat they despised.

Ye Yuwu never expected that they would actually target her.

Meanwhile, Cha Yun and Manager Gao somehow heard that the manager of Tianxia Tea House had come to see her in person.

He rushed to the bookstore, his face covered in sweat, afraid that the "God of Wealth" would run away.

"Manager Ye, Manager Ma has promised you so many benefits that I can match them all. Even if it's not possible now, it will definitely be possible in the future. How about this, the teahouse's profits are split 70/30, no, I'll take 20% and you take 80%, is that acceptable?"

Ye Yuwu was both amused and exasperated, knowing that he had misunderstood, so she explained, "Don't worry, Manager Gao, I don't plan to cooperate with Tianxia Teahouse. I am not a person without integrity. I made a vow with you before and I will not go back on my word. As for the profits, they will still be the same as before. From now on, the stories that our bookstore publishes will only be told to your teahouse."

He breathed a sigh of relief when Ye Yuwu said that.

"Manager Gao, do you know any opera troupes in Bianjing?" Ye Yuwu asked, resting her chin on her hand.

"That's true. There are many opera troupes in Bianjing. Most people spend their days either listening to storytelling or watching operas."

"Do you have any that you're familiar with, or that you often listen to?"

"There's a pear orchard in Xinfengmen that specializes in Southern opera. I've been there a few times, and it's quite good. I know the troupe leader there pretty well. Manager Ye, are you asking about this because you want to go see a performance?"

He only learned later that this Manager Ye was once a young lady raised in seclusion.

These young ladies from secluded households also loved listening to music, but they usually kept their own opera troupes in their homes, or they would invite outside opera troupes to come and perform.

However, there is a rich variety of operas outside, with one after another emerging. The variety of operas leads to a diverse audience, which has given rise to various types of operas, such as Zaxi and Nanxi. He just prefers Nanxi.

"Southern Opera? I've never heard of it before. In that case, Manager Gao, could you take me to see it and broaden my horizons?" Ye Yuwu was wearing a light blue top embroidered with silver butterflies and flowers. As the weather was getting warmer, the gauze was thin and rustled in the wind as she walked. She extended her hand in a gesture of invitation.

Shopkeeper Gao thought she really wanted to go to see a traditional opera, so he happily led the way for her, introducing her to the wonderful plays of Southern Opera along the way. Ye Yuwu could only smile and occasionally respond, "Really?" or "It seems pretty good."

Only then did Manager Gao realize that Manager Ye hadn't come simply to listen to the opera.

She didn't hide anything, but told Manager Gao about her plans.

"Now that the storytelling of 'Starfall Rain' has been going on for a while and many people are familiar with it, it still lacks a bit of flair. I want more people to see it, and I don't just want it to spread through listening to stories. In the future, I will write more stories for my bookstore. I can't just make money by selling books, and I'm not just doing it for the money. I want more people to know about these books. And 'Starfall Rain' is like a touchstone."

Currently, if they were to collaborate with the opera troupe, it wouldn't affect Cha Yunhe's business, because Cha Yunhe's storytelling was already halfway through, while if the opera troupe were to perform, it would only be the beginning. Manager Gao understood this as well.

"Manager Ye, I understand your concerns, and I'm grateful for your trust in informing me of this matter in advance. I will do my best to make this happen," Manager Gao assured him.

After walking for a while, we finally arrived at the Pear Garden in Xinfengmen.

The opera performance has already begun.

Many people were sitting downstairs at the theater.

After Ye Yuwu and Manager Gao sat down, they learned that the opera performed today was "The Story of the Thorn Hairpin," which tells the love story of scholar Wang Shipeng and Qian Yulian.

This was her first time listening to opera. Unlike modern opera, this opera was sung in an ancient style, and there were many people in the audience. She couldn't help but listen to it.

After the performance, Ye Yuwu took the opportunity, under the pretext of wanting to give the opera troupe some money, and with the introduction of Manager Gao, she entered the backstage area of ​​the opera troupe.

Some of the women backstage were still washing up, seemingly about to take off their clothes. When they saw Ye Yuwu come in, they stopped what they were doing and were about to get up when Ye Yuwu told them to sit down and not to be reserved, and to just do what they needed to do.

Even so, some people secretly observed her while removing her makeup.

At this moment, the troupe leader came up. Manager Gao was familiar with the troupe leader, and they exchanged a few pleasantries. After Ye Yuwu finished giving the money as a reward, Ye Yuwu pretended that she wanted to have something to say to the troupe leader.

So the troupe leader led them to another room.

Seeing that the door was closed, Ye Yuwu got straight to the point and told him about their collaboration.
