Chapter 423 The Show Begins

"Boss Fu, is it time to get up and do business?"

Early in the morning, Fu Qingzhou was awakened by a knock on the door. Qiu Chan, who was outside the house, sounded proud and excited.

Fu Qingzhou opened his eyes, yawned and got out of bed.

I didn't sleep well that night...

Logically speaking, this kind of situation should not happen to practitioners.

But... he and Qiu Chan took the Yi Yan Dan as soon as they got it last night.

The reason is very simple. To prevent any further complications, they had already sent a message to Hui Yuan last night using the method provided by Wen Qingru, explaining that the illusion array had been broken. In this way, Hui Yuan could come at any time, so they had to remain in disguise.

So, all night last night, he slept in Wen Qingru's room with his face and body pressed against hers.

Frankly speaking, after being a man for decades in my past and present lives, suddenly becoming a woman is a really fucking weird feeling.

Of course, Yi Yan Dan still has limitations.

Although he looks exactly like Wen Qingru now, in essence... he is still a man.

This is really too complicated to explain, so I won’t say much.

Fu Qingzhou opened the door and the first thing he saw was the short and dark-skinned Qiu Chan.

Outside the door, it was not yet fully light and the streets outside the courtyard were quiet.

"So early?"

Fu Qingzhou rubbed his eyes and asked, "Is it necessary?"

"Of course~ We have to get up early in the morning to count the goods." Qiu Chan had a malicious smile on her face and looked back and forth at Fu Qingzhou: "Tsk tsk tsk tsk, you pervert, I couldn't see clearly last night, but now that I take a closer look, you really have a curvy figure..."

"roll."

Fu Qingzhou glared at her and said, "You are a eunuch now, you can't look at a woman with such anger."

"Yes, yes, Xiaochanzi knows~"

Qiu Chan said with a smile: "From the testimony last night, the delivery person should be here soon, and we need to count the goods."

The two of them teased each other and started their busy day.

Running a rouge shop is not an easy task.

The women in the capital city should have the highest purchasing power in the whole of Dayan. They pay special attention to the natural and elegant appearance of their makeup. Therefore, the color, fragrance, and durability of rouge and spices cannot be bad.

This means that they are counting goods not only to ensure that the inventory is accurate, but also to see if there are any counterfeit or parallel-imported goods in the inventory. They also have to understand which products are popular and which need to be restocked based on previous sales.

Otherwise, if an old customer comes and finds that the shop is not as good as before and becomes suspicious, it will be somewhat troublesome.

"Hey, Fu... Madam Boss."

While counting the goods, Qiu Chan suddenly noticed something: "Why are you wearing men's clothes?"

Fu Qingzhou glared at her and said, "It's more convenient to wear men's clothes, isn't it?"

"no!"

Qiu Chan said seriously, "How can you, the proprietress of a rouge shop, wear men's clothes?"

"Reasonable."

The smoker also chimed in appropriately: "I worked so hard to cover up your aura, but in the end you were exposed because you didn't want to wear women's clothes. Isn't it a waste of my efforts?"

"you……"

Fu Qingzhou was about to say something when there was a sudden commotion outside the shop.

“Wen!” Someone outside was banging on the door, yelling, “Get out of here! How dare you seduce my man!”

"Don't hide in there and keep silent. I know you are home! If you have the ability to steal a man, why can't you open the door?"

"Open the door! If you have the guts to rob a man, open the door!"

The voice of the person hammering the door clearly sounded like that of a fierce woman.

Sweat broke out on Fu Qingzhou's forehead.

"Isn't it?"

He spread his hands at Qiu Chan and said, "On my first day as the boss lady, I encountered something like this?"

Qiu Chan couldn't answer him at all. She held her stomach and laughed so hard that she fell forward and backward. Tears welled up in the corners of her eyes and her waist was almost broken from laughing.

"Forget it." Fu Qingzhou's eyes gradually became firm: "If I can't even deal with a troublemaker, how can I deceive Huiyuan? Just treat this as a rehearsal!"

"Xiaochanzi!"

He shouted, "Count the goods carefully and wait for me to come back!"

"Okay!" Qiu Chan wiped the tears from laughing and rubbed her belly which hurt from laughing, and waved her hand and said, "I wish you a great victory~" Fu Qingzhou, wearing Wen Qingru's face and men's clothes, strode to the rouge shop in the front yard.

The person knocking on the door was still cursing, and the door panel was shaking continuously, with dust falling down.

"Don't hide in there and keep silent, I know you are at home!"

"If you have the guts to rob a man, then you have the guts to open the door! Open the door, open the door, open the door quickly!"

Fu Qingzhou rubbed his face, searching his mind for all the changes in Wen Qingru's expressions that he had seen. Then his own expression gradually changed, and a hint of charm appeared in the corners of his eyes.

Then he reached out and opened the door.

The moment the door opened, a hand that was supposed to hammer the door came down straight on his head.

This... Of course Fu Qingzhou can avoid it.

But, Wen Qingru, shouldn't be able to avoid it.

In an instant, his mind raced, and he finally let out an "Ah", allowing the fist to hit him in the face, and then fell to the ground.

Outside the door, there stood a middle-aged woman with fierce eyes and brows. She had her hands on her hips and a frown on her face, followed by two burly men.

"Alright, you little bitch!"

She sneered: "You're wearing men's clothes, so coquettish, right? Which man are you trying to seduce?"

"..."

Fu Qingzhou imitated Wen Qingru's appearance and sneered coldly with a hint of seduction: "Whose shrew are you? You can't manage your own man, but you come to trouble me?"

"Haha, you little bitch, you're quite tough."

The woman crossed her arms and sneered, "It doesn't matter if you don't admit it - come on, smash it for me!"

At her command, the two burly men behind her immediately strode into the rouge shop, each pulled out a short stick from their waist, and smashed the rouge on the shelf.

Fu Qingzhou laughed secretly in his heart, this is great, now that all the things have been smashed, this business won’t be done for a while, and he can just take a break.

But of course he couldn't show it on his face. Instead, he acted the role of a panicked and nervous proprietress very well, trying to step forward to stop them... Then he was thrown away by one of the big men and fell heavily to the ground again.

"Uncle! Uncle!"

He stretched his neck back and shouted at the top of his voice.

Soon, Qiu Chan rushed out in a fake manner and pounced on the two big men. After all, she was playing the role of a "fifth-level practitioner who protects Wen Qingru". Although it was not convenient for her to show her powerful means, she still knocked over the two big men after a fight.

Of course, during the process, Fu Qingzhou also came over and helped to punch a few times, and took advantage of the situation to fall left and right and smash a few more shelves.

After a struggle, the two burly men stumbled out, covering their bruises. Seeing this, the woman's face turned pale, and she left a few harsh words before turning around and running away.

"What's this mess?"

Fu Qingzhou looked at their fleeing backs, confused: "Wen Qingru didn't say which man she seduced?"

"Who knows?" Qiu Chan stood beside him and said, "How is it? Is it easy to act?"

"That's it."

Fu Qingzhou spread his hands: "Although it's a bit awkward, it's okay..."

As he said this, he turned his head to look at the rouge shop that was smashed to pieces, and then glanced at the neighbors who were peeking at the shop on both sides of the street, and laughed secretly: "That's good, that's good. Since the shop has been smashed like this, we won't have to open for a few days at least, right?"

Of course, this smile must not be revealed. He could only turn around and pack his things, leaving a desolate and miserable back outside.

"Is he still here?"

In his mind, Fu Qingzhou asked quietly.

The smoker smiled and said, "He's here... If you didn't have the vajra on you and the corresponding aura, I wouldn't have found him."

Yes, before Fu Qingzhou opened the door, the smoker had already reminded him that Huiyuan had arrived.

But Hui Yuan was observing from a very far distance and never moved.

Obviously, this middle-aged woman and this thug were arranged by Huiyuan.

Therefore, during the whole process, they did not hurt anyone, they just smashed and looted things... This was a test.

"Very careful."

Fu Qingzhou sneered: "How do you think he thought that someone could pretend to be Wen Qingru?"

"Please put yourself in his shoes." The Smoker said lazily, "If the powerful illusion array you set up was broken by someone, and you came here and found that the person you were supposed to protect was safe and sound, would you like to observe and try?"

"Makes sense."

Fu Qingzhou nodded: "It's okay, watch if you want, we will continue this play until he is willing to show up."
