Time Travel: Brothel Maid

Chapter 41 Membership Card

Xiao Guoer picked up the silk thread again, and according to the memory in her mind, she threaded the silk thread through the weaving and weaving process. Her brows were no longer furrowed, and she looked pious and serious, as if she was doing something very important.

After a while, Xiao Guoer held the fruits in her hand, smiled, with the corners of her eyes turned up, looking innocent and naive.

Yingniang looked at the silk thread in her hand and asked in surprise, "What kind of pattern is this? I've never seen it before, but it's really pretty."

Xiao Guoer proudly held the Chinese knot in her hand and said, "Isn't it beautiful? This style is called a Chinese knot."

"It's beautiful. How did you come up with this idea? You always come up with new and interesting things. Xiao Guoer is an amazing woman."

Xiao Guoer touched her nose, this was not her idea.

It was getting late and Yingniang looked tired. Xiao Guoer remembered her original purpose.

He stammered, "Sister, Zhou Fangye...you two..."

Seeing Xiao Guo'er's hesitant expression, Yingniang sighed, "I don't know what will happen to the two of us in the future, but I have put my whole heart on him. It's not like I can let go of him. Let's take it one step at a time. If one day he gets married, maybe I can give up."

The atmosphere in the room took a sharp turn for the worse, no longer as warm as before, and both of them felt a little depressed.

Xiao Guoer advised, "Sister, since you need time to think clearly, you must understand that you must not do anything that will make you regret. You must leave yourself a way out. If you follow Zhou Fangye's idea, if you have a child, you will be at the mercy of others and have no choice. It will be extremely difficult to enter the Zhou Mansion. Even if you don't want to, you will have to be a concubine!"

Yingniang's face turned pale. "I know that unless he takes me into the Zhou Mansion, I will not be willing to be humiliated."

Xiao Guoer felt very sad when she saw her like this, so she hugged her and comforted her, "Don't think too much, sister. No matter what time it is, you still have me. I will support you. At worst, we sisters can depend on each other for the rest of our lives."

Yingniang smiled bitterly, but finally said nothing more.

The next morning, Xiao Guoer saw that Yingniang looked normal and not as miserable and helpless as she was last night, so she felt relieved.

After dinner, we went to Jinxiang Tower as usual.

As soon as she stepped into the lobby, she saw a lot of people gathered around her small table.

What happened? This didn't happen the past two days. Could there be something wrong with her lottery ticket?

Xiao Guo'er's heart skipped a beat, and she stepped forward and asked cautiously, "What can I do for you?"

When everyone saw her coming, they squeezed forward again.

"We want to buy lottery tickets. Are they two cents each?"

"Ah?" Xiao Guoer opened her mouth slightly, stunned for a moment, then after realizing what was happening, she nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, yes, wait a moment, I'll get you some paper."

Xiao Guoer was extremely happy, which must have been due to the influence of yesterday's lottery draw.

Those who originally did not believe and were still waiting and watching, all had their doubts dispelled after the actual facts were confirmed yesterday. With only two cents, it is possible to exchange it for one hundred taels. Who would not be tempted? Who would not want to try it?

Even if I don't win, I won't lose anything, just two cents, which means I have to eat two less steamed buns.

Xiao Guo'er was very quick and skillful and placed all the things hidden under the table on the table one by one.

Put the set of seals in front and distribute the specially made notes to the guests at the table one by one.

"Choose any five numbers from one to twenty. Once you've chosen, stamp them with the corresponding numbers, then register with me for a record, and then you can wait for the draw the day after tomorrow."

Everyone did as they were told.

Xiao Guoer was so busy that she didn't even have time to drink water or go to the toilet. It was not until the afternoon when the sun was at its best that there were fewer customers.

The diners at Jinxianglou had all gone home after eating and drinking their fill, and the lobby became deserted.

Tang Jingchen walked in leisurely, looking at her flushed face, looking tired but full of energy, and couldn't help shaking his head with a smile.

"You don't have to be so busy. You can't make all the money. You should take a break. It's not good for your health if you exhaust yourself."

Xiao Guoer looked up and smiled, "It's about making money, how can it be tiring? I'm happy even if I'm tired."

This girl is really obsessed with money.

"You can't do this. Your business will grow bigger and bigger in the future, and you will have more and more customers. You can't handle it all by yourself with just two hands. You'd better hire a helper as soon as possible."

Xiao Guoer nodded heavily, "You and I are thinking the same thing again. I am also thinking of hiring someone. I will take some time to go to the dental clinic and pick out a hard-working young man."

"Doing business is not like other jobs. You just need to work hard. It's not appropriate to go to the brokerage to pick someone. You also need to find someone who is reliable and smart. If you trust me, leave this matter to me. I will definitely find you a suitable person."

Xiao Guo'er's eyes lit up, "Of course I can trust him. I'll leave this matter to Brother Tang. As long as the person is reliable and can be used, a higher salary is fine."

Tang Jingchen asked the waiter to serve a simple meal, then turned to Xiao Guoer and said, "You've been busy all morning, aren't you hungry? Let's eat first and then talk about other things."

Xiao Guoer did not refuse, "I might as well apply for a recharge membership card here. It's embarrassing to eat for free here all day long."

Tang Jingchen was puzzled by the new term she came up with, "What is a recharge membership card?"

Xiao Guoer gave him some knowledge, "It is a method used by businesses to attract customers and promote their consumption."

"Well," Xiao Guo organized his words and started again, "Jinxianglou can set up multiple membership cards with different deposit amounts. You can think of them as vouchers, such as vouchers for one, two or five taels of silver."

"Guests can voluntarily choose to purchase a membership card of any amount. With this membership card, they can order food and eat at any branch of your Jinxianglou. The money spent on each meal will be deducted from the balance on the membership card until all the money on the membership card is used up."

"Of course, if you want customers to actively purchase membership cards, there must be some preferential activities, such as spending nine coins to buy a one-liang membership card, or spending one liang to buy a membership card and getting an extra two coins. Or, customers holding membership cards can get discounts or get some special dishes and drinks for free when they check out."

As Xiao Guoer talked, Tang Jingchen's slightly wrinkled brows gradually relaxed from the initial confusion, and in the end the ends of his brows flew up, his eyes showed surprise, and emitted a dazzling sparkle.

A surge of ambition and pride suddenly rose in Tang Jingchen's chest. If this method could be put into practice, the profits that Jinxiang Tower would make would be unimaginable.

There was even more admiration in Xiaoguo'er's eyes.

How could she come up with such a brilliant idea? She is truly a genius among business people.

He knew that she was different from others. She wrote storybooks, drew erotic pictures, and sold lottery tickets. None of these things a normal girl could do, but she not only did them all, but also did them very well.

Now this idea of ​​recharging membership cards is unexpectedly surprising.

Xiao Guoer saw Tang Jingchen staring at her intently, her voice becoming lower and lower, and her face turned slightly red.

"What's wrong? What's wrong with what I said?"

Tang Jingchen shook his head slowly, his expression gradually becoming excited.

"You're right, that's great! I just never heard of this method before, and I was stunned for a moment. How did you come up with this idea? I've never seen someone like you, who has a lot of ideas in his heart but is low-key and not ostentatious."

Xiao Guoer blushed even more. This was not her idea. She plagiarized the promotion method of modern merchants. How could she accept such praise?

"You're too kind, haha." Xiao Guoer laughed dryly and lowered her head to pick up some food to eat.

Tang Jingchen asked again, "Since you have such a good idea, why don't you open a restaurant yourself? With your talent, you will definitely be able to run it well, maybe even surpass Jinxianglou."
