Chapter 405: Unchanged Expression
In order to keep the secret, Su Wenyue separated each process and made it very secretive. Few people knew the trick. However, Su Wenyue would not hide it from Han Yu no matter who she was hiding. Therefore, Han Yu knew the matter very well. When he heard that a noble lady regarded the things made by her wife as supplies for the royal family of a foreign vassal, he raised his eyebrows. Especially when he saw that his wife was calm and had no guilty conscience, he looked at Su Wenyue with a more meaningful look.
Su Wenyue was a little proud at first, and felt embarrassed to be looked at by Han Yu. However, her things were good. Although not all of them, most of them were much better than the real Western things. However, many people were like what "Li Guifei" said, "worshiping foreign things and fawning on foreigners". They thought that things brought from thousands of miles away from the sea would be better. Therefore, in her previous life, Chen Li had bought goods from foreign merchants, but she was not as talented as Su Wenyue to make them directly. If Chen Li knew about it, I wonder if she would sigh at the advanced wisdom of the ancients. The so-called parallel imports have already appeared now.
Others didn't know many of these things. Seeing Su Wenyue and Han Yu flirting with each other, they all laughed and joked about the good relationship between the couple, but Su Wenyue just smiled and said nothing.
While talking, several more people came, one of whom was Miss Yin Lihua of the Yin family. The appearance of Yin Lihua made people curious about the boss behind Tianya Pavilion. They would not think that Miss Yin showed up at this time just to buy things. After all, this was the opening day of Tianya Pavilion. With Miss Yin's usual temperament, such a day would not usually appear. Even if things were half price today, the Yin family had a rich family background, so how could they care about this little profit? Miss Yin's appearance here today must be to sell the face of the mother boss of Tianya Pavilion.
In fact, everyone guessed it. The Yin family and Han Yu belonged to Liu Xiu's camp. They had close contacts on weekdays. They were one of the few people who knew that the boss behind Tianya Pavilion was Su Wenyue. Yin Lihua came here to give face to Han Yu and Su Wenyue.
The Yin family has been very humble in front of Han Yu and his wife recently. In fact, if Han Yu had not voluntarily given in and was willing to follow Liu Xiu, Yin Shi would have been more optimistic about Han Yu. Han Yu was better than Liu Xiu in every aspect except that he did not have the identity of a royal descendant like Liu Xiu. The royal descendant was just a tiger skin and a big banner. Liu Xiu was already in decline and was just the son of a county magistrate. In troubled times, heroes were in power. In fact, this point was not that important.
Yin Shi actually did not understand why Han Yu gave up this great opportunity. Perhaps Han Yu really did not have such ambitions and aspirations. Yin Shi could only think of this reason. But no matter what, it was always right to make friends with Han Yu.
"Miss Yin is here too." Su Wenyue took the initiative to greet Yin Lihua. Thinking back to when they first met, they had a very unpleasant quarrel. Although they were not close friends now, their friendship was not bad.
"Yes, I heard that the things in Tianya Pavilion are good. I have time today to come and see it. Madam Han is here too. It's just right for us to go shopping together and buy more good things to take back." Yin Lihua knew that Su Wenyue didn't want people to know that she was the owner of Tianya Pavilion, so she said it tacitly.
Yin Lihua was just being polite to Su Wenyue to support her, just going through the motions, but she really found a lot of good things in Tianya Pavilion. In addition to being surprised, she had more estimates of the Han family in her heart. The power of the Han family seemed to be beyond their expectations. She had to talk to her brother about Tianya Pavilion later.
Yin Lihua is not an ordinary boudoir lady. She is smart and talented. She has been cultivated by her family since she was a child. Her vision and perspective are not comparable to ordinary people. She can see many problems from a Tianya Pavilion. Let alone other things, just looking at the Western objects of the foreign vassal who visited one-sidedly, it is not something that can be obtained by ordinary people. It is not as simple as a new style. Things of the foreign vassal royal family require many connections to get them, and it takes a lot of effort to transport them back. Many of these problems are worth pondering.
Obviously, Yin Lihua was also misled by the "Western goods" made by Su Wenyue. Even if Miss Yin was knowledgeable, she could not distinguish such "Western goods" that were more exquisite and better than the real thing. More importantly, she did not expect Su Wenyue to do this. Moreover, with the backing of the Su family, it seemed that it was not so difficult for Su Wenyue to make things used by the Western foreign vassal royal family.
So the cost also depends on the right time, place and people. Su Wenyue seemed to be able to do things that seemed simple, but it was not so easy. If it were someone else, I am afraid that they would not be able to do any of it.
Su Wenyue saw Yin Lihua studying those "Western objects" carefully with an expression of admiration on her face. She felt embarrassed. She even deceived the future queen. Who else could have such a skill? She subconsciously turned her head to look at Han Yu not far away. The teasing in his eyes was too obvious. Su Wenyue remained calm. She got used to deceiving people. Anyway, she did not do anything harmful to the world. Even if these things were not real Western goods, they were only good in function and not bad. It didn't matter whose products they were.
Compared with the lively scene at Tianya Pavilion, Lixiu Department Store seemed quite cold. Due to Chen Li's amazing publicity methods, it was not so cold that no one came. However, those who came were people with no status. Even though the new shop opened very preferentially today, there were still more people looking at it than buying things.
Chen Li had overestimated the purchasing power of these lower-middle class people. In today's world, not many people can spare money to buy these things. Even ordinary perfumes, rouge and powder have become luxury items nowadays.
"Boss, these people are too shabby. They have been shopping for a long time, looking at so many things, and only bought a few of them after careful selection, and they chose the cheapest ones. It's a pity that you personally went to the store and spent so much time on eloquence." The shopkeeper Li Ming saw that the business was not good after the store opened, but he didn't seem to be worried at all. He just showed a little sadness on his face to suit the occasion. It was just for Chen Li to see. Seeing that the difficult customers finally left, he stepped forward and said, wanting to show off in front of Chen Li.
Chen Li did not show any impatience to the difficult customers, but when she heard Li Ming's words, her face sank: "What are you talking about? Have you forgotten what I said? Customers are God! Every customer who comes to our store must be treated well, and no matter how high or low their status is, they must not have the intention of neglecting them. It's a pity that you are the shopkeeper in the store, but you didn't even remember the most basic one! Considering that you are a first-time offender, I will forgive you this time. If I hear such words again next time, I will not be a shopkeeper anymore!"
