Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers

Chapter 247 - Huo Ci

The reason Su Wan gave Yu Meng such offers was simple, she wanted to kick off her business from the very beginning. Though her products were unique and rare, there was no shortage of copycats and without any copyright law in this era, it was impossible for her to safeguard the key ingredients of her products. She was confident that no one would be able to create a replica of her products but she wasn\'t a? besotted fool.

The market was filled with scheming and shrewd businessmen even if they couldn\'t create a perfect balance and copy her trademark scents, sooner or later they will figure out how to create the products sold in her shop. Of course, by then she would come up with new products like scrubs, moisturiser, hair products and many more - she wasn\'t confident about dabbling in cosmetics completely but she could still carefully tread on the edge of DIY cosmetics, as long as she was careful, Su Wan was certain that she would be able to protect the \' uniqueness \' of her shop.

Therefore, before the copycats were able to figure out the ingredients of her products and got a good hang of creating a perfect replica, she wanted to spread the fame of her shop widely around the town and next, and if possible in the capital as well - because that\'s where all her golden egg laying goose and hen resided. If she successfully sold a batch to the lady in front of her, then naturally lady would come to buy more sooner or later once she finish using these products.

And then hehe - with her good nature and attractive offers even if other shopkeepers copied her products, this young lady would surely purchase the products she desired from her shop instead of going to somewhere else.

So, maybe in the eyes of others, she was acting like a fool by sucking up to a rich lady but actually, she was fishing an even bigger bait by laying down these wonderful offers. She just needed to get this young lady addicted to the products in her shop and then - wait. Why was she thinking like a drug dealer who was trying to trick a young innocent lad into buying drugs from him?

No, no. She was such an upright and good person, what drug dealer? She was just creating a win-win situation for the two of them. That\'s right, that\'s what she was trying to do, yup.

" You mean to say I can take a product for free if I buy two products? Your offers are sure generous but what\'s in it for you ?" Yu Meng was a little bewildered at this offer, even the shopkeepers in the capital didn\'t act as generously as the lady in front of her. For a while Yu Meng was a little suspicious, she couldn\'t help but doubt the authenticity and safety of Su Wan \'s \' rare \' products.

Su Wan knew that the young lady was a smart person, even though it didn\'t suit her bubbly and sunny features - the young lady had a touch of shrewdness in her eyes which made her seem a little weird and unlikable. But unlike the masters of the capital, who favoured those dumb women who only knew to cry and scheme pitifully like a white lotus, Su Wan was, after all, looking for a partner to help her in spreading her business, not a dumb bimbo whose brains were smaller than her breasts to warm her bed. So she,? smiled in a good nature manner and immediately spoke up in an attempt to clear the air " Young lady is wise, our shop is authentic and everyone who works here is honest and upright. We only want to give the very best to our customers, not a thing less, of course, if the young lady is still suspicious you can try the products and wait inside our shop for half an hour and see for yourself how these products work on your skin "

Yu Meng\'s eyes flashed with a shrewd calculating look, she wasn\'t an innocent and naive young lady she clearly understood the underlying meaning of Su Wan\'s words " alright, we will wait and check the reaction of these things by ourselves - Hong Xui go and chose some products for yourself as well. Your lady is in good mood today, I will purchase a few products for you as well "

" Yes, milady " Hong Xui was Yu Meng\'s personal maidservant and wasn\'t any less smart than her miss. She hurriedly chose two soaps and two cream perfumes that she liked the most and helped her mistress inside Zhimei.

Su Wan saw the pair go inside then turn to face the crowd with a smile before cupping her mouth as she started shouting " Buy two products from our shop and get one free of your choice, the offer is valid till twelve in the noon. Hurry up, we only have limited stock !"

" Come and buy a scented perfume to entice your beloved, whether its men or women - no one can resist the charm of our cream perfumes " seeing Su Wan promote their shop, Lin Chen also started to advertise their products in full gusto, together with his interesting way of advertising and Su Wan\'s attractive offer, their shop was soon flooded with a crowd of curious onlookers.

"My good sir, are you looking for a scent to please your good lady ?" Once their shop was successfully started swarming with customers, Lin Chen left the stall to the two young maidservants that Lin Yan hired for their shop and took on his \' real job \' as the salesman on Zhimei.

" Yes, can you suggest something to calm nerves ?" The young man who was only in his twenties looked haggard and frustrated, yet he still spoke in a gentle and refined manner. This young man was none other than the son of county magistrate Huo, his name was Huo Ci and just like his father who was an honest man in his youth, he too was an upright and just young man. Though county magistrate Huo started to dabble in corrupt and shady dealings after becoming an official. He protected his family well, thus Huo Ci grew up with an upright personality.

However, the more upright he was the more troublesome some pests became - a few days ago, Huo Ci\'s beloved wife was attacked by a group of assassins when the latter was riding the carriage with his grandmother, the two women were travelling to the Celestial Will Temple to burn incense yet they met with such a terrible accident. Of course with their family\'s background, the Huo family sent a couple of bodyguards beforehand to protect the two ladies and because of this the two of them somehow managed to come out of such a dangerous situation intact without hurting a single strand of their hair but - the two women were severely terrified.

Especially his grandmother who was in her late sixties, even after being treated by several physicians, Grandma Huo was still trembling like a leaf in a storm and no matter how the members of the Huo family tried to soothe her , the old lady wouldn\'t listen - the accident happened three days ago and the old lady was yet to close her eyes and take a small nap to calm her nerves .

His wife was the same , but with him by her side , she was in better condition compared to his grandmother who was shivering like a dog left in cold .
