CHAPTER 1046: CHAPTER 1044: FONDNESS FOR TALENT

There’s still some time until April 16th, so there’s no rush. Wufu and Fengniang discussed some plans for the shop, then left.

"I see Sister Fengniang is quite appropriately dressed and made up, so it’s not necessary for only that Princess Changping to use this method. If customers come, you can let them try some of the cosmetics too," Wufu said with a smile.

"Try?"

Wufu nodded and looked at Jadeite: "Didn’t set aside some samples?"

Jadeite shook her head. These cosmetics were not cheap in terms of cost, and she hadn’t thought of this.

"If you’re too reluctant to use the bait, you won’t catch the wolf. Unless people try the benefits of these cosmetics, how can you promote them? No worries, Sister Fengniang, go ahead and give away some samples. If customers come, and you’re interested, personally redo their makeup and give them a new look—all for free," Wufu said with a smile. "Our cosmetics are high quality, and our service is excellent; why worry about customers not coming?"

Fengniang thought for a moment, then smiled brightly, "The girl really has thought it through."

Wufu then said to Jadeite, "In the future, when new cosmetics come out, set aside some samples that can be given to clients for trial."

"Yes, Miss," Jadeite memorized it secretly.

"This way, I’ll leave the shop matters to you," Wufu said. "I won’t visit the shop often, if anything comes up, just look for Jadeite. From now on, she’ll manage this area."

Fengniang nodded with a smile and accompanied them out, until the carriage went far away. She carefully thought over Wufu’s words, then turned back into the shop to call a few young girls to reorganize it.

Meanwhile in the carriage, Wufu listened to Jadeite talking about Fengniang’s background.

Nothing unusual, Fengniang simply encountered a jerk. This jerk was her ex-husband who, upon achieving success and becoming a minor official, connected with his superior’s daughter. Then, he despised Fengniang for not producing offspring, but fearing criticism for abandoning an old spouse, he planned to demote her to concubine to make space for marrying the superior’s daughter. Yet, Fengniang was quite stubborn, she actively requested divorce and left with the letter, relying on her embroidery work to survive.

When Purple Jade met her, it was when Fengniang was quarreling with the Embroidery Workshop boss who wanted to swindle her money. Her sharp tongue caught Purple Jade’s interest. After researching Fengniang’s background, she decided to hire her as a manager.

Reclined in the carriage, Wufu clicked her tongue and said, "What a melodramatic story. That jerk, did he really succeed?"

"According to Sister Feng, that scum is just that. No use tying my future to that trash, I have hands and feet, I won’t die without him, so it goes," Jadeite said with a concealed laugh.

Wufu snorted: "Too easy for him. If it were me, I’d first ruin him and turn him into a little eunuch, see how he’d marry a new wife then!"

Though her voice was neither quiet nor loud, Chi Liu driving outside felt a tightening and chill run down his spine, thinking, "Miss is formidable and ruthless indeed!"

"Sister Feng said the other is like a mad dog, she doesn’t want to become a mad dog biting fur. The retribution isn’t due yet," Jadeite said, covering her mouth with laughter.

"She does let it go easily!" Wufu sighed. In this era, especially being a woman, to view such things with indifference signifies fierceness and free spirit. Some people wallow in self-destruction over such matters.

"Keep an eye on it, if she really proves useful, entrusting more authority is acceptable," Wufu said.

Jadeite pretended to sigh, "Miss’s talent appreciation heart arises again. Looks like I’ll need to have some abilities, otherwise, Miss will surely dislike me."

"Of course, I don’t want useless people by my side!" Wufu said proudly, drawing a white-eyed glance from Jadeite.
