Chapter 370: Dolly Cooperating with Wangshengtang

“Ahhhhhh, this hall master has launched such a favorable package, why are there so few scholars from Xumi who come to order the package launched by this hall master.”

"Does this hall master's funeral skills look bad to the Xumi people? That shouldn't be the case. When this hall master was dealing with so many dead bodies yesterday, no one said that this hall master's skills were bad."

In the Xumi branch of the Hall of Rebirth, since he was commissioned by Nashida to hold a large funeral in Xumi City yesterday, Hu Tao, who thought he had demonstrated his business ability to the people of Xumi, lay on the table early this morning waiting for customers to come.

Due to the special location of the Xumi branch of the Wangsheng Hall, there is a large flow of people. Many Xumi people will pass by the gate of the Xumi branch of the Wangsheng Hall. However, none of these people will walk into the Xumi branch of the Wangsheng Hall, which makes Hu Tao's beautiful plum blossom eyes somewhat puzzled.

Three days had passed since the scattered soldiers incident. During these three days, in order to thank Hu Tao for her help, and because the weather in Xumi City was already hot, which was not suitable for the dead Xumi people, Nashida invited Hu Tao to hold a large-scale funeral for the dead Xumi people to bid farewell to them.

In this funeral, the previously unknown Wangsheng Hall became known to many Xumi people due to Nashida's introduction before the funeral began. And Hu Tao, the young but capable head of the Wangsheng Hall, also became famous.

When Hu Tao first heard people's discussions, she was quite excited. She thought that with the help of Nashida, and the flyers about the packages of the Wangsheng Hall that had been distributed in the past few days, the Xumi branch of the Wangsheng Hall should be able to attract a large number of customers. Even if Nashida's customers did not need the services of the Wangsheng Hall for the time being, there should be people who would order some packages.

As a result, the whole day was almost over and not a single customer came to the store, which made Hu Tao a little disappointed. She thought she could make a lot of money, but in the end, not only did she make a lot of money, she didn't sell a single set meal the whole day.

"Why is Master Hu so distressed?"

"Dolly? Why are you here?"

Walnut, who was worried about the lack of customers, saw Dolly appear at the door of the Hall of the Rebirth at some point. Her eyes lit up and she hurriedly invited Dolly into the house. Because based on what Nilu told her about Dolly, Walnut had a better understanding of how rich Dolly was. Naturally, Walnut was very welcome to have such a wealthy person come to her door.

After all, Big Sister Beidou will come to Xumi to deliver goods in a few days, and Hu Tao and others also plan to take this ship back to Liyue. However, Hu Tao doesn't want to come to Xumi and find that the Xumi branch of the Wangsheng Hall that she built with her own hands has not sold a single order in her hands as the head of the Wangsheng Hall. So after seeing Dolly, Hu Tao was quite enthusiastic.

"Oh, Master Hu, you don't have to be so enthusiastic. The main reason I came here this time is to discuss cooperation with you."

Pulled by Hu Tao into the Xumi branch of the Hall of Rebirth, Dolly said that there was no need to be so enthusiastic, but her body honestly sat on the chair and drank the Liyue tea sold by Zhongli in the Xumi market.

"Cooperation? How to cooperate?"

When Hu Tao heard that Dolly was not here to buy a package but to discuss cooperation, a hint of confusion flashed in her eyes. She didn't remember ever saying anything about cooperating with other people. Why did Dolly suddenly say that she wanted to cooperate with her?

"Master Hu, you can't stay in Xumi for a long time, right?"

"Yes, that's right."

Hearing Dolly's words, Hu Tao nodded honestly. If Big Sister Beidou hadn't told her that she would pick them up after going to Fontaine when she came to Xumi to deliver the goods two days ago, Hu Tao would have planned to take another ship directly back to Liyue Harbor.

"Master Hu, since you don't stay in Xumi for a long time, do you need someone to help look after the Xumi branch of your Wangsheng Hall~" Dolly had been secretly observing Hu Tao's Wangsheng Hall Xumi branch business, and had long been interested in the development prospects of the funeral industry, an industry that not many people in Xumi were involved in. Dolly also had the idea of ​​cooperating with Hu Tao. After all, Wangsheng Hall was an old industry that had been passed down for thousands of years, and its reputation was naturally much greater than opening a funeral shop by herself.

"Dolly, do you mean that you will manage the Xumi branch of the Wangsheng Hall after our master leaves Xumi?"

Hu Tao has been a genius since childhood. After Dolly's hint, Hu Tao immediately guessed Dolly's intention. However, during her time in Xumi, Hu Tao had heard a lot about Dolly's reputation as a profiteer. For a moment, Hu Tao was a little hesitant about whether she should let Dolly take over the Xumi branch of the Wangsheng Hall.

After all, Wangsheng Hall is the property and trademark of their Hu family. If Duoli cheats people everywhere under the name of Wangsheng Hall, the one who will suffer the greatest loss in the end will definitely be her, the head of Wangsheng Hall.

However, if she did not cooperate with Dolly, Hu Tao would not be able to think of anyone to entrust the Xumi branch of Wangsheng Hall to for a while, because in her impression, the friends she met in Xumi seemed to have their own jobs and it was impossible for them to tie her up to watch the store all day.

"Zhongli, stop drinking tea. What do you think?"

After thinking about it and not knowing how to choose, Hu Tao looked at Zhongli who was drinking tea on the side. After all, this kind of question should be asked to professionals. While looking at Zhongli, Hu Tao inadvertently saw Ruo Jin who was sitting next to Zhongli with a thoughtful look on his face.

Looking at Ruojin's frowning brows, Hu Tao couldn't help but puff up her cheeks. Ever since Ruojin and Nashida joined forces to defeat the scattered soldiers, Hu Tao felt that her Ah Jin seemed to have something on his mind. No one knew what he was thinking about these days, and he frowned whenever he had time. When she asked Ruojin, Ruojin didn't say anything, which made Hu Tao's dissatisfaction with the Fatui deepened.

After all, if the Fatui hadn't been behind this, Hu Tao felt that Ruo Jin wouldn't have suddenly become so worried, so Hu Tao made a note of the Fatui in her heart.

"Master Hu, from a common sense perspective, as long as both parties sign a contract, nothing unexpected should happen. If Master Hu is worried, I can personally draw up a contract."

After Zhongli put down his teacup and glanced at Dolly, he calmly gave his advice. As a god who had lived for thousands of years, no matter how unscrupulous Dolly was, Zhongli was confident that he could restrain her in the contract.

"Is that so? Okay, Dolly, let's talk about how we can work together."

After hearing Zhongli's words, Hu Tao understood what was going on and directly pulled Dolly to start discussing the various terms of cooperation. Ruo Jin, on the side, had a sullen face and no expression could be seen on his face.

Will there come a day when I will be separated from Hu Tao and Xiang Ling?
Closing his eyes, he recalled what the doctor said three days ago when Nashida asked him why he wanted to study immortality. Ruo Jin felt touched in his heart, because the doctor's words that the life of ordinary people is limited after all made Ruo Jin realize that no matter whether it was Hu Tao or Xiang Ling, they were both just ordinary people. After a hundred years, they would eventually return to dust and would not be able to accompany him forever.

"Master Ruota, even you can't make mortals immortal?"

"Hey, Jin, I know you've been thinking about this these days. I can think of a solution, but a hundred years may not be enough for you. Telling you will only cause you more trouble."
