The madam eagerly pulled me and said: “So we’ve decided? Why don’t you come back to Yixiao Tower with me now, and let Sister Qin help you get properly dressed, choose an auspicious time, and have you debut on stage?”
“Not so fast!” I quickly smiled and shook my head: “I haven’t finished speaking!” I only said I would help her attract business; I never said I would personally take the stage!
Sending myself into the fire pit to save others – this unprofitable business is not something Fei Xin Ran would do!
Besides, the money saved over the years in Sifei Fortress is enough to open ten Yixiao Towers. Would I really degrade myself like this?
Of course, deliberately provoking someone is a different matter…
Thinking this, I couldn’t help but change my tone: “I can go back with Sister Qin right now and debut on stage to attract customers, but I have a few conditions!”
“Tell me, tell me!” The madam nodded eagerly.
“First, you must cooperate with all my arrangements, ensuring I can become famous throughout Jiangnan in the shortest time and become the top courtesan in the Jiangnan region!”
The madam immediately slapped her chest and guaranteed: “With your looks, not to say Jiangnan, even in the entire Huanye Kingdom, there might not be any girl who can compare!”
“Second, although I’m going to Yixiao Tower, I remain free. Coming and going will be entirely up to me!”
“This…” The madam couldn’t help but look hesitant: “What if you leave after just three or five days? Wouldn’t I have worked in vain!”
I immediately assured her: “Don’t worry, since I promised you, I will definitely help you earn enough silver before leaving! But…”
“But what?” The madam asked eagerly.
I replied leisurely: “This is my third condition – you cannot force me to meet clients I don’t want to see. If a client requests me, whether I meet them or not will be entirely up to me!”
“This?” The madam looked even more troubled: “You know, we who do business believe in harmony brings wealth. All guests are important, and we can’t offend anyone.
If you refuse to meet someone at will, you might ruin Yixiao Tower’s reputation!”
