He had arranged everything from the beginning and had Helian Wei Wei's carriage follow closely behind. This would make the change of carriages much more convenient.
Eunuch sun raised the door curtain for Helian Wei Wei, with a face full of smiles, "This is all thanks to Miss. Us slaves are all worried for His Highness, but we are not able to help him share his worries. We can only depend on Miss to help us."
Helian Wei Wei raised her eyebrows and laughed, "I am also not able to help him share his worries, I am just stroking a tiger along it's fur 1 only."
Eunuch Sun was stunned for a moment, comparing His Highness to a tiger wasn't very good, right?
Helian Wei Wei saw that he had not much of a reaction and she turned to enter her carriage.
"What is it?" Baili Jia Jue furrowed his brows when he saw that it had not even passed a quarter of an hour and Shadow had returned.
Shadow contemplated for a moment before he decided to divulge word for word on what Helian Wei Wei had said.
Baili Jia Jue scoffed, "She is rather clever." To think that all that pacifying just now was just a farce, he had even thought that she was truly sincere.
This little thing, she doesn't seem to be afraid that he, this tiger, would actually swallow her whole?
As he thought back on how she had dressed his wound so conscientiously...yet that was all actually just following Eunuch Sun's advise…
Stroking him along his fur?
Between the both of them, who was the real prey?
It looks like someone was still unaware that her claws should be hidden away!
"Continue staring at her." A glint in his eyes flashed by.
Shadow was somewhat trapped in his own thoughts. It had crossed his mind that if he had conveyed the words of Helian Wei Wei, His Highness would not spend so much effort and time on her. It looks like to him, she was the only one who receives such special attention. Her position was indeed very special.
Shadow was also thankful that for Helian Wei Wei's existence. Because of her, his master was not concerned about all other affairs except for hers.
As Shadow looked at the carriage not far away, he let out a long sigh. Thankfully His Highness did not follow, otherwise, his presence would only be used to her advantage.
However, no one longer cared about all these because everyone was anticipating the next major event - the Martial Qi Competition! It was about to begin!
No matter if it was the students of the White Academy or the people of the four clans, everyone's attention was on this competition. People were pouring in all their greatest efforts by training and cultivating the entire day and night, as the entire capital started to heat up in fervour. The streets started to be filled with many inconspicuous people clad in robes, as experts walked the streets with their favoured armaments, many were from far away that had made this trip specially. It could be seen how much influence this competition had as it drew crowds from afar.
And it was precisely this large sphere of influence that it had that Helian Wei Wei was banking on. It was time to rake in the money.
Since the Martial Qi Competition was about to begin, getting a good armament was essential for all these cultivators.
As the boss of Profound Heaven, naturally she would not let go of such a golden opportunity to do business.
It was time to pull in the fishing net….. This was a literal translation but it means playing by ear, acting according to the situation.
Chapter 211 - Profound Brilliance Under Heaven
Originally, it was very difficult for Helian Wei Wei to leave White Academy. Firstly, it was because she had no right. Secondly, after she was driven out by her family, those nobles of the other families had all looked down and despised her. In addition to all that, her master was not around lately so if she wanted to apply for some time off, she had to write down every single little detail for it.
However, now, it was no longer the same. The permit she had in her hand right now was won from the competition that her compound had won and no one would question her on where she was going or what was she going to do.
That was why this time round after she returned to White Academy, Helian Wei Wei did not go to the classroom and made everybody think that she was affected greatly.
After all, for one that only knew armaments but did not know anything on martial qi would be be really embarrassed if she went to class at such a time.
Some people even suspected that she could not understand what the teachers were teaching, that was why she had voluntarily given up on attending the classes, lest they could not help her during practice.
After hearing this news, Helian Jiao Er sneered, "She does know herself at least." She then instructed the servant girl: "There is no longer any need to find out about that s.l.u.t in the future. Mother was right, it was me who saw the world too narrow and I even got into a fight with that ugly woman. It is simply below me and pulling down my taste. Leave her be, let her put together all those scrap metals and dream. No matter how well she does it, she can't sell a single piece and can't participate in the Martial Qi Competition. Go and see when would Mother be back and help me check on the situation over at Profound Heaven."
"Yes!" The servant girl saw that her Miss was in a good mood and she also relaxed her attitude as she asked, "Does Miss intend to get an armament from Profound Heaven?"
Helian Jiao Er replied with a 'mmm' as she tilted her head up in arrogance: "Father has already helped me pulled some connections, now all we need to do is to wait for Mother to come back."
The servant girl took the opportunity to say, "Miss is really amazing! Slaves heard that armaments from Profound Heaven are really hard to get, out of all the other ladies in the capital, only a few are able to get their hands on it."
"The contacts that Father has are naturally not weak." She glanced at the servant girl and continued, "Not to mention, those that only depend on their family to try to make a name for themselves, how could the likes of them compare to me?"
The servant girl was beaming as she replied with enthusiasm: "What Miss means it that once the owner of Profound Heaven hears of your name and reputation, and know that he had offended you during the Armament Competition, he would want to give you an armament to make up for it."
"Such talk should only be spoken in front of me, don't say anything unnecessary in front of others." Although she had said it sternly as if she was reprimanding, Helian Jiao Er's face was filled with pride and complacency.
The servant girl immediately replied:" Please rest assured Miss, I know that those people outside are all jealous of you. I won't say such things to them, if we were to meet anyone that's like Eldest Miss, that would stir up another storm."
"As long as you understand." Helian Jiao Er leaned back and laid on the sandalwood chair. It was as if she had already had her hands on the armament from Profound Heaven.
The servant girl smiled and bowed down to serve her a cup of tea.
Her heart was relieved, thinking that her lady was finally back to normal. During this time, because of Eldest Miss, her lady had been very temperamental and the ones who suffered in the end were them, the servants.
However, why did Eldest Miss like to always offend her lady? Now that after a major thing has happened, everything reverted back to what it was and most probably knowing that her own martial qi was bad, that was why she had found somewhere to hole herself in.
As she was thinking, the servant girl also paid attention to Helian Jiao Er and when she saw that she seemed to have drifted off to sleep, she gently put the fan down and dozed off shortly.
However, they did not know that at this very moment….
Helian Wei Wei was seated on the second level of Profound Heaven, dressed in a man's attire, with one hand holding a paper umbrella and the attendant that was assisting her was distressed.
"Dear customer, our manager is not in today, we do not know what time he would be back. Would you like to come back another day?" The attenda
nt that was doing odd jobs was still very courteous and polite, his tone calm and gentle. This was the first rule that she had stipulated when hiring. The first thing that she emphasized on was customer service. No matter what skills they had, the first thing she looked out for was their attitude. That was why business of Profound Heaven was so prosperous, it wasn't without any reason.
Helian Wei Wei turned around, looked at the attendant and hooked her lips up slightly as she said, "I'll wait for awhile longer."
The attendant was slightly taken aback, it was obvious he had been stunned by the person in front. He had never seen anyone so gorgeous before.
Helian Wei Wei recovered her smile at this time. She was wearing a robe that had flowing gold clouds and her hair was lazily tugged behind her ears, black and seductive. Although she wasn't dressed very neatly, however her posture was elegant and she exuded a charm that was like the enchanting moon.
Under the glow of the golden sun, her entire being seemed to be aglow and for a moment there, the attendant even thought that he had seen a deity from heaven and he felt confused and lost as he stood there in stupor. His thoughts even trailed off as he started to think which family did this lady come from. Who gave birth to such a stunning person that could bring down nations?
That's right, Helian Wei Wei was currently wearing man's attire.
However, the clever attendant saw through her gender and the more puzzling thing was that he knew quite a number of influential people in the capital. Yet he had never seen anyone more outstanding than this person in front of him.
The odd thing was that he couldn't place her in his mind and no one has mentioned such a person in the capital as well.
The attendant was bewildered as he saw the carriages of the four managers stop at the front of the store.
Unless...their Second Boss was coming?
But that wasn't right either, their Second Boss just by the day before and even left a message that because his Father was strict on his control, forcing him to get married and seeing that he was always out, he even suspected that he had stirred up some flowers from outside so he had him stay home and he would only be out two days later.
So what happened that had four of the managers to come?
The attendant kept thinking and no longer cared that there was a guest in front of him as he straightened his collar and rushed down in a hurry.
However, before he could even speak, the manager asked him, "Is there anyone that came to look for me today?"
"Yes." He answered immediately, as he followed their gazes as they searched left and right. "Where is that person?" The strange thing was that the usually calm and collected manager was very fl.u.s.tered at this moment.
The attendant pointed up and said, "That customer is still waiting on the second floor."
"Second floor?" He opened his mouth in shock, "How could you arrange for that person to go to the second level?"
Chapter 212 - Limited Edition
The attendant was thinking in his heart that it was not his own arrangement! Once that person came in, with great familiarity she had walked into the Tranquil Room on her own, she seemed even more familiar with this store's layout, as compared to him who was working here.
"Second floor then second floor it is." The manager swept his robes and quickly walked up the stairs, as he walked he said, "Bring over the best armaments, also bring in the accounts for the past two days."
The attendant cried out loud, "Look at it now?"
"Yes, now." As he said it, his other hand had already pushed the door open and when he saw the familiar back, he smiled, "Big Boss, you finally came."
Big Boss?
He attendant raised his head sharply, a glint of unconcealed shock flashed by.
This person was actually the illusive Big Boss of Profound Heaven!
The attendant felt it hard to believe as his gaze swept by Helian Wei Wei once more. Later, he would need more time to digest this big news and calm himself down.
His Big Boss…. wasn't a man…and wasn't a heroic martial cultivator.
It was actually a young lady that her age had not even reached !
Where was the said waist that was as thick as a bear?
Where was the said peerless expert?
Where was the said ugly countenance that was why he never showed his face?
Their Big Boss was one that could just win over countless people with based just on her face….
"Uncle Zhang." Helian Wei Wei smiled and reached out to shake hands with the other managers and looked in the direction of the attendant.
The attendant was in a daze, his heart was thinking that even her voice was so pleasant to hear.
Manager Zhang smacked his back and said, "Why are you still dallying here for? Hurry and bring those things I've told you to bring." After he speaking, he turned towards Helian Wei Wei and smiled. "This is the new apprentice that I have just received, he has just started so he is not familiar with many things."
Helian Wei Wei smiled and laughed out as she said, "He's not bad, he can be a mascot for the store."
The attendant thought that he was dreaming, he...had he just been praised by his idol? This can't go on, after he brought the accounts over, he had to go down and run a few rounds!
When the manager saw that his attendant went down smiling to himself in a daze, he could only helplessly shake his head and said to Helian Wei Wei: "The moment this old slave received Boss' letter, I had immediately rushed back. It's just that I do not know what does Boss mean by pulling in the net?"
"Old Zhang, enough already, not all our brothers have arrived yet, do you intend to try and cheat our Boss to give you a private class?" Manager Wei, a burly man walked up.
Helian Wei Wei saw that the few others had also arrived and closed the umbrella in her hand and said, "You should all know that the Martial Qi competition is about to begin. Compared with the other armament hops in the industry, our business is indeed not bad. However, we are still performing a little less than what I had hoped for, that is why starting from today, we are going to change our business philosophy. From this moment on, the only thing we are going to focus on is to stir the market!"
"Stir the market?" Manager Wei did not fully understand and asked, "Our Profound Heaven's influence in the market is very big, everyone is wrecking their brains to try to get their hands on an armament from us. In the entire capital, who doesn't know our big name? If one hasn't heard of our great name, then they are labelled as country bumpkins."
Helian Wei Wei put down the umbrella in her hands even though her action was light, but because it was a superior armament, it immediately changed the airflow all around.
"That's not enough." She said.
"That's not enough?" Manager Wei opened his eyes in bewilderment and immediately turned his head to look at Manager Zhang.
Even the unusually calm Manager Zhang didn't understand what she meant and they could only wait for her to explain further.
Helian Wei Wei tapped her slender fingers on the table and when she raised her head up,the sun had started to set and through the large windows that reached from the floor to the ceiling, the entire scene was as if it was a backdrop that was specially built and staged for her. "Things that are more difficult to attain, have more value. From today onwards, stop all productions of armaments. Tell them that from now on, we will only sell five armaments and implement a membership. We will use auctions to auction away our armaments and we will only invite one hundred gold members to participate in each auction. If one wants to take a look, that can be done but one must reserve a seat in advance."
"This...isn't this a little too daring?" Manager Wei was at a loss for words when he heard her explanation. No one has ever done business in this manner before and since the beginning when they had started, they have been told by their Big Boss that customers were always first, but now this seems to be the complete opposite. To make those dignitaries fawn over them instead, was it even possible?
; Not to mention, those people were not only rich, some were even nobles who held power in the imperial court, would they accept such a system?
Just the thought of it is exhilarating!
Helian Wei Wei glanced at him and smiled deviously, "Over at our place, there's a term called 'customization'. There's also another term called 'limited edition'. Manager Wei, remember that this 'customization' and 'limited edition' reflects one thing. It represents that there is only one of its kind and it would show one's status and prestige. It tells the world that they are able to own something that no one else is able to get their hands on, that is why there wouldn't be any problems, let's take this opportunity and fish up a huge haul!
At that moment, Manager Wei felt that this lady was not like a businessman in front of him. She had this fighting spirit and unique temperament that ordinary ladies didn't have. She was a blaze that blizzed through the battlefield, awe inspiring and magnificent.
She was like a Queen standing behind, devising her plan and instructing the generals and soldiers.
This time round, it looks like the entire business scene in the capital would fall into turmoil….
Once the new limited edition structure of Profound Heavens was rolled out, it was met fervently by many and as Helian Wei Wei had sold the idea of 'one of its kind' that symbolizes status and prestige, it had attracted a lot of attention and adding on to the fact that the Martial Qi Competition was nearing, it had stirred the curious hearts of everyone. Even for those who had no need of any armaments also wanted to have a look at these limited edition armaments, seeing them would leave them no regrets this life.
Even the Retired Emperor had moved and had sent people to reserve a seat for him, so that he could see for himself what these 'legendary armaments' were.
"Big Boss, is this fine?" Manager Zhang was holding a pure silver card and handed it over to Helian Wei Wei.
She held it closer and flipped it around with her fingers and her lips curved upwards, "Not bad, when you hand it out, remember to tell them that only money would be accepted, in our eyes, names and status aren't worth anything."
