You were taken hostage, why pursue the Enemy's Empress?

Chapter 25 – If you don't mind, I can even call you mom

Ah!

I've boarded a pirate ship...

In the embassy courtyard, Hua Chao rested her chin on her hand and let out a sigh.

She was a little uncertain in her heart. Although she didn't think Ying Wuji was a reckless and stubborn person, she had never heard of him having any experience in business before, and his motherland, Kingdom Qian, was especially bad at it.

Seven thousand taels were most of her savings. If she lost it, it would be difficult for her to turn her life around in the future.

After all...

Hua Chao took out a mirror from her pocket. Although she was still beautiful, she was nothing like the charming and delicate appearance of a girl in her twenties.

She was already twenty-seven. At this age, other women had already given birth to several children.

Even if she continued to sing, she couldn't earn seven thousand taels again.

What's going on?

She must have gone crazy to entrust her life and money to a man she had just met less than a day ago.

Hua Chao secretly lamented.

Just then, a voice came from behind her, "Sister Hua Chao, sorry to keep you waiting for so long!"

Hua Chao turned around and saw Ying Wuji grinning at her, looking even more youthful than the wild and unrestrained literary image he had shown last night.

This...

He got the money, and even his address changed. But surprisingly, Hua Chao didn't feel any rejection towards this change of address.

She rubbed her slightly swollen head and said, "Young Master is back!"

Ying Wuji quickly waved his hand, "Don't call me Young Master. It's too formal between us. If Sister Hua Chao doesn't mind, you can call me younger brother, or even call me by my name."@@@@

Seven thousand taels, calling him sister wouldn't be a loss.

Sister is still better. Sisters are caring.

A rich sister is even better. Not only will she be caring, but she will also take care of your stomach.

If Hua Chao didn't mind, he could even call her mom.

Anyway, he had no sense of shame.

Hua Chao was dazed for a moment, then smiled, "Wuji!"

Ying Wuji smiled, "Sister Hua Chao! Do you want to go see our industry?"

Our industry...

Hua Chao was a little dazed for a moment. So I also have an industry now.

What is my industry again? We haven't even signed the contract yet, and I don't even know what I'm supposed to do.

Of course, she wasn't afraid of Ying Wuji taking her money. After all, even if the relationship between her and her father was not good, she still had the background of the prime minister behind her.

What she was afraid of... was Ying Wuji losing money.

The shopkeeper replied: "Folk students usually use it to copy books, after all, the finished books in bookstores are too expensive. They also get hired to copy books for those wealthy families."

"Okay!"

Ying Wuji was relieved, as this information was consistent with what he knew.

The shopkeeper asked eagerly, "Young Master! Can you tell me what the solution is?"

Ying Wuji smiled: "You don't have to worry, I can only tell you that a bookstore will come forward within three days and buy all our backlog of goods at normal prices."

"Really!"The shopkeeper found it hard to believe. Nowadays, paper in the Flame Kingdom was of good quality and cheap, and there were bookstores willing to buy paper from his store at normal prices?

The young master's connections were really strong!

He took a deep breath and asked, "Young Master! What else can I do?"

Ying Wuji smiled and said, "Nothing much. Just inform the other shopkeepers and select the bookbinders responsible for each store. Their wages will be tripled, with two-thirds going to them and one-third to the stores. However, they need to sign a confidentiality agreement with me. If they leak any information, the consequences will be severe."

The shopkeeper nodded quickly and said, "Young Master, rest assured! We people from Qian are very trustworthy."

This was true. Qian had strict laws, and even the businessmen who went out of the country were very disciplined.

Ying Wuji nodded and asked, "What kind of books do the bookstores usually sell?"

"I know a little about it!"

The shopkeeper replied, "The most popular books are the classics of the Hundred Schools of Thought. As the holy land of the Hundred Schools, there are many foreign scholars who come here to study, and the schools also want to recruit talents, so many classics are made public. In addition, there are some anecdotes and stories collected and compiled by novelists, although many of them are fabricated, many people still like to read them. The most famous one is the Prime Minister's attendant, Lanling Sheng. He recently compiled a book called 'Strange Tales of Mountains and Seas,' which caused a frenzy of copying inside and outside the bookstore. It will probably slow down in two months."

"Oh! I see..."

This novelist was not a web novel author from his previous life but a novelist among the Hundred Schools of Thought. Although they were not in the top nine, they were quite popular among the people.

Ying Wuji smiled and gave a few more instructions, asking the shopkeeper to wait quietly for a few days before leaving.

After leaving the store, Hua Chao couldn't help but ask, "Wuji! Will any bookstore really buy such a large quantity of goods at normal prices?"

She had been observing from the side just now. Although this paper business was also her industry, she didn't say anything and just silently thought about how to break the deadlock. However, no matter how she thought, she couldn't come up with a solution.

Ying Wuji said confidently, "Of course! Does Sister Hua Chao not believe me?"

"Which bookstore is it?"

"Of course, it's your bookstore, Sister Hua Chao!"

"..."

Hua Chao was confused. When did she have a bookstore again?

~~~~~~~~~

It's really important for new readers to catch up on new books. I hope all the readers won't hesitate to catch up.

Also, please give me some monthly tickets and recommendations.

I have a lot of drafts, and I can definitely keep updating steadily.

I just hope that the results can be better so that I can have more motivation to write and update more to repay everyone.

Love you all!
