Ming Dynasty: I risked my life to teach the prince, the emperor begged me not to die

Chapter 156 Chen Ce is a popular person

Madam Wu walked back awkwardly, pretending that the scene just now had not happened, and said calmly, "Let's go."

Turning around, Mrs. Wu stuck out her tongue, feeling so embarrassed.

Zhu Houzhao couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter.

Chen Ce also smiled and asked Mrs. Wu, "Do you read the newspaper every day?"

Madam Wu nodded: "Sometimes I get up earlier and go there earlier. It's only a penny, but I can know a lot about Shuntian Prefecture."

"For example, recently the newspapers even published the addresses of some servants. Aunt Zhang's family needed an embroiderer, and Mr. Wu's family needed a laundry lady, etc."

"I can earn some pocket money every day with this information."

At this point, Madam Wu couldn't help but sigh: "The owner of Shuntian Newspaper is really smart!"

Zhu Houzhao was also a little shocked. He seldom paid attention to the development of the newspaper industry. He really didn't expect that his younger brother would actually publish these things in the newspaper.

This really solves the survival problems of many ordinary people. It not only meets the needs of employers, but also fulfills the income needs of ordinary people, killing two birds with one stone. By the way, the newspaper industry will also ask employers to charge a certain agency fee, which is much more conscientious than black-hearted people.

"Little brother, how did you come up with the idea of ​​publishing employment information in the newspaper?"

Chen Ce said casually: "Occasionally I get some inspiration and publish it. Newspapers also need to keep innovating."

Madam Wu was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Chen Ce and Zhu Houzhao in astonishment and asked in a low voice, "What are you talking about?"

Zhu Houzhao chuckled and said, "Sister-in-law, don't you know? The boss behind this newspaper is standing right in front of you, and you just praised him for his intelligence."

"what?"

Madam Wu swallowed her saliva, looked at Chen Ce in disbelief, and said, "You, you opened the Shuntian Newspaper?"

Chen Ce corrected him: "I opened it with him."

Madam Wu: “…”

Then I just tried my best to squeeze through, isn't this even more embarrassing? She glanced at Chen Ce with resentment: "Why didn't you say so earlier!"

After buying vegetables at Chengqingfang Street, Chen Ce and his group returned to Huaihua Hutong.

At lunch, Zhu Houzhao ate with relish, and Liu Jin also drooled. After eating, he happily went to wash the dishes alone.

Yang Yuzhen came hurriedly from outside and said to Chen Ce: "Foster father..."

Uh, why are there outsiders here?

Zhu Houzhao opened his mouth slightly and asked Chen Ce, "Why do you still recognize a son?"

Yang Yuzhen covered his face.

Why didn’t you tell me earlier that there was an outsider?

Chen Ce asked Yang Yuzhen helplessly: "What do you want from me?"

Yang Yuzhen said with an "oh" sound, "In the past two days, some of the owners of Dujuan Tower have sent invitations to you and want to host a banquet for you."

"When do you think you have time to attend the banquet? I can reply to them."

Chen Ce and Zhu Houzhao asked curiously, "These restaurants have nothing to do with us, why do they want me to attend the banquet?"

Yang Yuzhen: “…”

"Dujuanlou is not a restaurant, it's a brothel."

Chen Ce said: "That has nothing to do with it."

Yang Yuzhen said calmly, "Boss, you don't know these things. Our newspaper updates the ranking of the ten beauties of Shuntian every day. The decision is in our hands. If we introduce some girls to any brothel, their business will continue to flow in, and they will naturally regard you as a popular commodity."

Yang Yuzhen turned into a wise king and explained.

Chen Ce said, "Oh, I'm not interested. Just reject it." Yang Yuzhen said hurriedly, "Boss, I don't think we need to reject it. We can discuss cooperation. There are only words in the newspaper now. Why don't we insert some portraits of girls? That will be more attractive, right?"

Of course, he had another purpose, but he didn't tell Chen Ce.

Chen Ce narrowed his eyes slightly: "Good idea."

Yang Yuzhen laughed and said pretentiously: "To be honest, sir, I have a first-rate brain for business!"

"I just hate that bastard from the Fu family. He gave all the business contracts to someone else before he left. The person he gave them to was even more of a bastard! He returned all the business contracts to the merchant of Shuntian Bookstore at the original price, so why didn't he return them to me!"

"I, Yang, gave the five bookstores to the other party for free. Logically, he should also give them to me for free."

cough cough.

Chen Ce coughed dryly.

You have a nice idea. It's true that the business contract is in my hands. You can take it back if you want. Come and redeem it when you have earned enough money!

Since you called me a bastard, I'll double the price of your business contract!
"Hehe, then I will attend the banquet on behalf of the host?" Yang Yuzhen rubbed his hands excitedly.

Chen Ce was not interested in these things, but Yang Yuzhen's suggestion was really good. Adding the portraits of those girls would help the sales of the newspaper, so he nodded and said, "Well, go ahead and represent me with full authority."

"You are not allowed to do it for free. You have to pay." Chen Ce warned, "If you dare to exchange benefits with others, I will fire you immediately."

Yang Yuzhen's fantasy was shattered, and he said with a pout, "I'm not that kind of person, please believe me."

Boss, Boss, do you think I want to go to this banquet? I am not going to a banquet, I am going to get beaten!

You have to avenge me when the time comes. I hope the other party will be gentle.

……

Azalea Building.

Located at the end of Chengqingfang Street, Shuntian Prefecture's nightlife den faces Chengqingfang Street in front and Tongji Canal in the back. Every night, all the lights are on, and there is a lot of feasting and revelry.

Before nightfall, the owners of nine famous brothels in Shuntian gathered in Dujuan Tower.

Yin Ping'er was among them. Although she was not the owner of a brothel, as a prostitute, Yin Ping'er had a great influence in the brothel industry.

After unanimous agreement, everyone decided to let one of their own courtesans reach the top every day for the sake of fairness.

This suggestion was quickly agreed upon by everyone. In other words, they could monopolize the top ten girls in the newspaper and take turns to be at the top to attract customers.

Everything is ready, just waiting for the owner of Shuntian Newspaper to come for a banquet the day after tomorrow evening.

Everyone was looking forward to meeting the mysterious boss behind Shuntian Newspapers. No one had ever seen him in person, so they prepared gifts and planned to give them to him during the banquet.

Yin Ping'er was creative. She had tried to give the other party money before, but the other party obviously didn't care about the money. This time Yin Ping'er planned to be creative and seduce him with sex.

Last time she gave herself to Fu Yuan, she thought she would be able to rise to the top and become a phoenix, but who knew that Fu Yuan was just using her. If she could find an honest man to take over, it would not be a bad idea.

Anyway, she is no longer a virgin, so she doesn't care so much.

"Hey."

Yin Ping'er sighed. Originally, the most ideal husband was Chen Ce, but unfortunately, Fu Yuan showed up halfway. She thought Fu Yuan had more potential than Chen Ce, but that guy turned away as soon as he pulled up his trousers.

If she could get close to the owner of Shuntian Newspaper this time, she could marry into a good family. However, businessmen have always been fickle-minded. After much thought, Yin Ping'er always felt that Chen Ce had the most potential.

But he always seemed to look down on himself.

Let’s talk about it later. Let’s take care of the present. You can’t have your cake and eat it too. If you are interested in fame and fortune, you have to give up something.

"What if the other party doesn't appreciate the courtesy?" A brothel owner suddenly asked.

Everyone sneered and said, "If the other party doesn't appreciate our kindness, then let the pawnbroker teach them a lesson!"
