Chapter 120: Confidant
Chapter 120: Confidant
"I..." Lin Ruqin felt wronged when she heard this.
I never expected him to say that about me, but now I don't know how to refute him.
Upon hearing this, Lin Lezheng finally grew impatient and gave her a cold look.
"You shameful thing, get out of here!"
Hearing her father's words, Lin Ruqin was unwilling, but at this moment she could only step back.
Lin Rusi never cared about these things; as long as her father didn't reject the dress, that was enough for her.
After saying this, Lin Lezheng was unwilling to stay and left.
Fortunately, the matter was resolved satisfactorily, and Lin Rusi felt much relieved. She took the dress and returned to her courtyard.
The two little girls then gathered around.
"Miss, this outfit is really beautiful, but I don't know if it will fit. Why don't you try it on?" Wanxia said, feeling a little expectant herself.
My young lady is already beautiful; she'll look absolutely stunning in this outfit.
"Okay, if it's not suitable, it's not too late to change it now."
After saying this, she went back to her room and put on the clothes.
Surprisingly, it fits perfectly, as if it were tailor-made for me.
Wow! Miss is so beautiful!
Lin Rusi originally had a pretty face, but after putting on this dress, she also gained a touch of inexplicable charm, making her look even more beautiful.
The two young maids were stunned when they saw their young lady like this.
"Is it really that big of a deal? It's just a change of clothes, there's no need to make such a fuss."
"Of course you look beautiful, Miss. This dress is only suitable for you."
"That's right. As long as the prince values Miss, she'll be able to live a good life even after she gets married." The two maids felt quite envious when they thought about this.
But at the same time, I am also very happy for my young lady.
As expected, Lin Rusi could only shake her head helplessly after hearing this.
"I'm in a good mood today, why don't you two come with me to buy some things?" The two maids were very excited when they heard this. They put the dress in the closet and then went out together.
"Miss, there's a cosmetics shop up ahead. Why don't we go check out their products?" They sell these things in their own shop, so this would be a good opportunity to compare them with others.
The group then arrived at the shop and discovered that the interior decoration was quite grand.
Moreover, everything was arranged neatly, making it easy for people to find what they wanted at a glance.
"It really is unique."
"Miss, it looks like this is your first time here. Is there anything you'd like to buy? I can recommend something for you."
Upon hearing this, Lin Rusi realized that there was only the female owner in the shop.
The woman in front of me was gentle and charming; I never expected that she could run such a large store all by herself.
"Boss, do you own this shop?"
"Yes, young lady."
Upon hearing this, Lin Rusi perked up and realized that coming out today was definitely the right decision.
I originally wanted to start a business, but I had no clue how. Now that I've seen the female boss in front of me, maybe I can ask her for some advice.
"Boss, our young lady is getting married soon. Do you have any suitable cosmetics or face powders you can recommend to her?"
After Wanxia finished speaking, the boss smiled.
"I see. Then I congratulate this young lady in advance. Since you are getting married, you will need some brightly colored rouge and face powder. However, your skin is already very fair, so you don't need to buy any more face powder."
Lin Rusi was quite surprised to hear this.
If you go to someone else's store, they'll probably try to sell you everything they have.
But the Boss Su in front of me is different from everyone else.
"Boss, why don't you recommend more things to me? That way you can earn more too."
At this moment, Lin Rusi deliberately asked a question, and the boss just smiled when he heard it.
“We are both women, so we can naturally understand what the other party needs. Only by selling them what they need can we ensure that they will remember me when they need something again, and only then can our business last.”
The boss said that he had a lot of insights into doing business.
Hearing this, Lin Rusi was also quite surprised.
“I didn’t expect you to be so experienced in these matters. I rarely see a woman who can run a business outside. I’ve been thinking about opening a shop lately, so I wonder if we could talk about it.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Rusi didn't hesitate and directly asked about her thoughts.
I thought the proprietress would be reluctant after hearing this, but to my surprise, she readily agreed.
"Of course, it's not easy for us women to do business outside. If you don't mind, let's go to the back courtyard and have a good chat."
The two then went to the back courtyard.
“The girl is right about one thing. From the moment I decided to take this business, my family disagreed with it, but I still decided to do it. As long as you persevere, it’s not a big deal.”
Through their conversation, I learned that the boss's name was Su Xiangqing.
Although she wasn't from a wealthy family, her family was quite well-off.
The reason he wanted to start his own business was simply to prove his abilities.
I was quite surprised when I learned about this.
"Boss Su is indeed different from others. I had previously expressed my desire to start a business to my family, but they were all very resistant to it. They felt that it would be a disgrace to the family for a woman to go out and show her face in public."
Upon hearing this, Su Xiangqing dismissed the matter with disdain.
"That's just their prejudice. If you want to do it, there's no need to take these things to heart. If you don't understand anything, you can come and ask me."
Su Xiangqing appears gentle and kind, but she actually has her own opinions on this matter.
"Hmm... thank you. I was a little regretful at first, but now that I see how well you can run this shop all by yourself, I feel a little hopeful."
"It's inherently unfair. Why can men do whatever they want while women have to be so restricted? I did this to prove myself."
