Young man, please stay

Chapter 89 "Beautiful Beauty"

"Miss, Miss~"

"What are you doing in a hurry?"

In the saint's room, Nan Lingyue, who had gotten up early, was busy with something beside the bed. When he saw Xuanran suddenly barging in, he immediately hid the things in his hands under the pillow and glared at her with some annoyance:

"Do you want a man?"

"Oh, Miss, I came back to inquire about military information."

Xuanran sat over and hugged Nan Lingyue's arm, his eyes shining brightly with a gossipy look:

"Miss, you don't know, Ting Yuxuan has been very anxious these days!"

"Huh? Please elaborate."

"Just in the past few days, Ting Yuxuan first removed the piano players from the lobby and arranged for storytellers that they had always looked down upon. Then he found someone from who knows where and compiled a "Flower Girl" The content of the story is basically copied from "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix", except that the Tingyu Tower and Ningxiang Pavilion were exchanged, and as a result, people from all walks of life ridiculed it~!"

Nan Lingyue also laughed after hearing this:
  "This is what Wen Xue and Qin Lang said back then, 'Dongshi imitates'. Hum, they can copy the story written by Qin Lang, so they deserve it!"

"However, Ting Yuxuan reacted quickly. When he saw the negative effects, he immediately stopped doing these things. He just put up a sign at the door that read "No one who taints my innocence is allowed to enter", and then he shot himself with a stone for the second time. His feet were laughed at, like setting up a memorial arch or something like that.”

……

This is probably the first time that Ting Yuxuan has encountered this crisis. There is no reasonable countermeasures at all. With the popularity of "Feng Qiu Huang", they have now been established as models, except for some high-ranking regulars. , many ordinary people no longer bother to set foot in this hypocritical "devil's cave" that only caters to the powerful and drives away the Pinellia girl.

After two counterproductive "resistances", Ting Yuxuan was smart enough to stop responding to the matter in time. His voice faded and he gritted his teeth and continued to operate as before.

In Qin Lang's opinion, this situation is actually the wisest, as it can effectively avoid making things worse.

……

Then that afternoon, Qin Lang piled a thick stack of papers in front of Nan Lingyue and Wen Xue.

"Master Qin, what is this?"

"This is the second step."

"second…"

Wen Xue was overjoyed:
  "Is this the second story like "Feng Qiu Huang"?"

"No, it's not."

Qin Lang thought for a while:
  “It’s an anthology, but we can think of it as a… um… content platform.”

"Content...platform?"

Wen Xue looked at Nan Lingyue doubtfully. Although Nan Lingyue also didn't understand the meaning, she no longer felt strange about any new concepts proposed by Qin Lang because of the precedents of "paid content" and "crowdfunding unlocking". Yes, hold your chin and be obedient.jpg, blinking your long soft eyelashes and silently waiting for Qin Lang's explanation.

"We have discussed before that people nowadays like to be arty, but Ningxiang Pavilion cannot follow Yuxuan's approach. There must be connotation behind elegance, so this booklet uses an elegant shell to provide a A platform to show the connotation of Ningxiang Pavilion.”

Qin Lang said this, Wen Xue also picked up the manuscript and took a look:
  "Zhu... Yan...?"

"Correct."

Qin Lang smacked his lips:
  "The girls in our Ningxiang Pavilion, especially the women who sell their bodies, are mostly poor people. If we tailor a story for all the women in the Ningxiang Pavilion, Qin doesn't have the ability, but if every Ningxiang Pavilion has a tailor-made story, Every incense shop has a representative story, a representative girl, and you can still do it if you work hard."

Every Ningxiang Pavilion…

Wen Xue understood, and Nan Lingyue also became excited.

Also, eggs cannot be put in one basket. Just if the Ningxiang Pavilion in Jingzhou Prefecture gets better, it will not be in line with the ultimate vision of the Ningxiang Pavilion and Tianhe Sect.

"In the twelve states of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there are twenty-four stories about women in brothels in this book "The Beauty of Beauty". On average, the Ningxiang Pavilion in each state capital can get two of them."

"Twenty-four articles?"

Nan Lingyue was more surprised. In just a few days, Qin Lang actually wrote twenty-four stories?

Are they really both civil and military? Or is it a comprehensive one?
  "Qin is a rough man."

Qin Lang still remained humble about this:
  "The inspiration for the story is actually based on some... uh... mountain and field essays that I have read before. I cannot guarantee that the quality of each article is the same as "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix", but as long as it is not too bad, I believe that readers will I’ll be quite happy with it.”

"Master Qin is really confident!"

"It's not that I'm blindly confident, it's just because the author of "Zhu Yan" is [Chang Le Gong], and the story of "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix" is just an article included in this "Zhu Yan"."     …

Now the public image of Mr. Chang Le is that of a cynical, mysterious and god-like figure who knows a lot about Qin Lou and Chu Palace.

"The Phoenix Seeks the Phoenix" reveals the life experience of Miss Banxia, ​​which is enough to illustrate this point.

Qin Lang believed that with such a foundation, "The Beauty", a book that revealed more about the life experiences of brothel women, would surely become popular among the people in the world as Chang Le Gong became famous.

……

"The reason why I have only written twenty-four chapters of "Zhu Yan" for the time being is because this is exactly two years and twenty-four months."

Qin Lang said something again that confused the girls, and then explained with a smile:

"Lingyue, I suggest not to release all the twenty-four stories in "Zhu Yan" at once, but to release one story a month. They can be purchased at all major Ningxiang shops on the first day of each month..."

"...The first volume will use the story of "The Phoenix Seeks the Phoenix" and will be released for free on the first day of next month. In addition to the story, the content will be accompanied by a few simple illustrations from an artist..."

"...In addition, for the sake of elegance, every issue of "Zhu Yan" has a pairing at the end. Those who can match it and satisfy the Ningxiang Pavilion will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver from the Ningxiang Pavilion..."

"...Of course, who's answer can satisfy Ningxiang Pavilion? It's up to Ningxiang Pavilion to decide whether this person really exists. As long as the name of the selected person is published in next month's "Zhu Yan", more As long as more people are eager to try it, the purpose is just to increase the continued popularity of "Zhu Yan"..."

……

Listening to Qin Lang's words, Nan Lingyue and Wen Xue felt a little dizzy at first, but gradually they were indescribable surprise, and their eyes were filled with admiration and admiration for Qin Lang.

They have always attached great importance to promoting Ningxiang Pavilion and are keen on trying various things.

But all they ever thought of was the simplest of shouting, or paying distinguished guests to help spread the word by word of mouth. As for the series of things Qin Lang mentioned, they might never be able to think of them in their lifetime.

……

"If...if we really follow Mr. Qin's arrangement, then the future of Ningxiang Pavilion..."

Wen Xue clenched her pink fist tightly, her face flushed with excitement like a girl.

"Master Wen, please calm down."

Qin Lang took a sip of tea. He didn't notice that the tea cup was from Nan Lingyue, nor did he notice a faint lip mark on the side of the white porcelain tea cup. He only felt that when he drank it, there was an inexplicable sweetness, except for the one beside him. The saintly lady saw everything and quietly licked her lips.

"Actually, I think the real future of Ningxiang Pavilion should not be limited to becoming the best brothel in the world, right?"

"..."

Qin Lang's next words made Nan Lingyue and Wen Xue's hearts jump suddenly.

Especially Nan Lingyue, as the successor of Tianhe Sect, she had thought about this issue a while ago and whether Tianhe Sect would always rely on industries like Ningxiang Pavilion. However, the imminent business problems left her without the energy to do more. think.

Unexpectedly, Qin Lang took the initiative to raise this question now.

"Two years from now, when all twenty-four stories have been told, what do you two think about "The Beauty"?"

"Uh…"

Wen Xue tried:
  "Then get a brand new one..."

"no!"

Nan Lingyue shook his head directly:
  "Qin Lang said, "Zhu Yan" is a content platform. Two years from now, this platform may be well-known to everyone. It is just like the signboard of a century-old store that has been built with great effort. It must not be replaced at will. .”

"Correct."

Qin Lang gave Nan Lingyue a thumbs up:
  "So two years later, the third step in the revitalization of Ningxiang Pavilion is to start the transformation of "Zhu Yan". After the end of the twenty-four stories, if the story of the brothel girl is written again, it will be boring first, and secondly it will be true. Sexuality will decline, and you can start writing some legends, anecdotes, common people's stories, biographies, introductions to celebrities, etc., to maintain the release of "Zhu Yan"... But at the same time, for the sake of transition, and to continue to stabilize Ningxiang Pavilion In terms of status in the brothel world, we still have to use "The Beauty" to strengthen the voice of Ningxiang Pavilion!"

"The right to speak?"

"Yes! In every issue of "Zhu Yan", we will still retain some things related to brothels, but the content is to rate all the brothels in the world, including inns and restaurants!"

"score…"

"Rating! From one star to two stars and then to three stars! Over time, when people all over the world realize that [any brothel that can get a beautiful evaluation is a good brothel, and a brothel that can get three stars is the best brothel], The Ningxiang Pavilion behind "Jiu Yan" has the right to speak in the entire brothel industry. In the brothel world, the Ningxiang Pavilion will support whoever it wants to support and defeat whoever it wants... And imagine again, if Apply this strategy elsewhere..."

Maybe Wen Xue still needs time to digest some of these things, but the more the wise saint Nan Ling heard this, she felt faint goosebumps.
