When the Sheng Yuan ticket had entered the Moon Continent, it could be said to be extremely grand. Until Xie Jingxi saw it with her own eyes, she had a clear understanding of the reason behind the rise and fall of the ticket numbers these few years.
Needless to say, the ordinary citizens of the aristocratic families had all tasted the sweetness in the past two years, especially the rich and wealthy Guangdong, who had an even greater demand for tickets. Adding to that the fame of Sheng Yuan, many people had already gathered outside the city to watch before the market even opened.
The reason why Gu Yun didn't come was because he wanted to give her, the manager, a chance to show off. When Gu Yun came, everyone looked down on her and they would only think that she was a woman who relied on his own man. Xie Jingxi laughed at his overthinking, she never wanted to be the big boss anyway, the ticket line was not like others, the big boss was not that easy to pass off as.
The Manager Lu was familiar with him, but only he had not met him before, it was not too far from his imagination. He was a skinny middle-aged man, a typical businessman with a face, looking at others with eyes that released a sense of scrutiny, after the introduction of the Manager Lu, he said to Xie Jingxi: ”I have heard of you before, I have seen you recently, nice to meet you.”
Xie Jingxi laughed politely, ”Manager Qi doesn't need to be so courteous, even if you don't want to, we are already old acquaintances, right?
Seeing that she had only brought a little girl with her, Keeper Qi regarded her as a lady of the same class as well as a haughty and aloof official wife. He didn't expect her to speak so casually and not have the slightest intention to put on airs, but after hearing what Manager Lu had said earlier, he had said that she had a good eye and thought that she was very powerful subconsciously. Of course, many of the noble women thought that she was arrogant on the surface, but in his eyes, she was ignorant.
It was easy to tell with a glance that she was not only calm in her speech, but was also well-tempered in her speech. Frankly speaking, she had to go through a lot, and had to experience and be wise to erase the pretense between the two of them that they were not familiar with each other with just a few sentences.
On the contrary, it was the Manager Qi who had looked down on him first, and appeared to be petty. After all, from the inside to the outside, all of Sheng Yuan recognized this kind of shopkeeper, and most of the items laid inside were his painstaking efforts. If it was anyone else, they would not be willing to see a person who only took money and didn't do anything to suppress them, and they might even come over to criticize him.
The Manager Lu said: ”Look at what you're saying, no matter how busy you are, it's not enough for you to delay things any further. You can come over to take a look, that's what we wish for, this is Miss Zhiyu, we did not expect her to be so old already.”
When Gu Xiaoyu heard her name, she raised her head to look at him, ”That's right, Ah Yu is already a big girl, have you seen me before?”
He actually started to chat with Manager Lu. Manager Lu, as a slightly stiff and honest man, was tickled by her small appearance, ”I've never seen Miss Zhiyu before, but I've heard of her, so it can be considered as having heard of her for a long time.”
Gu Xiaoyu blinked his eyes, ”Then you must be my mother's friend, can I ask what you guys are doing? Why are there so many people waiting outside the door?
The two shopkeepers were amused by him and Manager Qi said: ”We are not having a snack bar, we only have tickets. Simply put, they are storing silver here, and we will help them keep it, and then we will earn interest from us.”
This description from the Manager Qi was a typical method to lure ordinary citizens, the ticket number was obviously not that simple, but for the majority of the people, it was the most basic and intuitive benefit, causing Gu Xiaoyu to understand, her eyes lighting up, ”This place is truly a good place, then can Ah Yu leave the snacks here, will she be able to earn a piece of candy?”
Manager Qi did not expect the little kid to earn money so quickly, and use it to his heart's content, ”Little snacks are no good, we only want silver.”
”I have silver too!” Gu Xiaoyu fished around her waist and took out a piece of crushed silver from her small pouch before handing it over to Manager Qi. ”Then, I'll leave the silver here.
”Not only can you earn snacks, you can also buy anything with money.”
The Manager Qi laughed out loud as he handed over the silver, ”I never thought that our first transaction in Guangzhou would be so successful. Miss Zhiyu, your silver is with us, if you don't have any silver, you can come here to buy it from now on. Do you remember that?”
Xie Jingxi laughed and said, ”Don't get used to her, I can't eat properly for you later.”
