Chapter 309 A good start

Ye Jiayao was thinking about Xiaojing, so she went to find Xiaojing after class the next day.

Who knew that after searching for a long time, I actually found it in Changchun Tower.

Upon asking around, I heard that Xiao Jing was drinking and having fun with the famous prostitute Su Yuanyuan here!
Damn, is everything Princess Yi De said true?

Ye Jiayao stared at the sign of Changchunlou illuminated by the red lanterns, listening to the pleasant music of stringed instruments and chirping of orioles and swallows, feeling depressed.

It is not uncommon for noble children to visit brothels. In ancient times, brothels were a legal profession, but families with strict family education still banned it. Ye Jiayao also could not accept Xiaojing's behavior.

Ye Jiayao's carriage stopped outside Changchun Tower, which aroused the attention of Guigong. He thought that it was the wife of one of his patrons who wanted to cause trouble, so he stared at Ye Jiayao with a covetous eye.

Ye Jiayao smiled bitterly. Damn, if she had known, she would have dressed up as a man today. It would be bad to break in like this. If it got out, people would think that Chunyu was in there and she came to catch him cheating. What was more frustrating was that she brought Qiao Xi with her today. It would have been easier if she had brought Song Qi with her. Just now, she had stuffed silver in her pocket to find out that Xiaojing was in there. She stuffed silver again and wanted the old man to pass a message to Xiaojing, but the old man said he would not do anything.

There was no choice, Ye Jiayao had to retreat first. As soon as she returned home, she changed into men's clothes and prepared to go again.

Xia Chunyu was surprised when he saw this, because Yaoyao hadn't worn men's clothes for a long time.

"What are you going to do?"

Ye Jiayao was filled with anger: "Let's go find someone to settle the score."

Xia Chunyu was frightened and immediately said in a threatening tone: "Who offended you? Tell me and I will punish him. If anyone dares to offend my wife, I will punish him severely."

Seeing Chunyu rolling up his sleeves and rubbing his hands, Ye Jiayao was disappointed: "Forget it, don't get involved. I was also entrusted by someone."

"No, that won't work. What if you get hurt? Come on, I'll go with you. I want to see which blind guy is tired of living." There was no way Xia Chunyu would let her go alone.

Seeing that she couldn't stop it, Ye Jiayao wanted to keep it a secret to save Xiao Jing's face, so she had to say, "Then you follow from a distance and don't get involved."

Xia Chunyu was confused. What had happened?

When she arrived at Changchun Tower again, Ye Jiayao asked the carriage to stop far away and walked over by herself.

Xia Chunyu lifted the car curtain and saw that Yaoyao was trying to break into a brothel. That was unacceptable. He quickly jumped out of the car and chased after her.

Ye Jiayao frowned unhappily: "Didn't I tell you to stay in the car?"

Xia Chunyu raised his eyebrows: "Do you think I can stay calm in the car when you come to a place like this?"

Ye Jiayao curled her lips and said, "Okay, I'm here to look for Xiao Jing. This guy has been acting crazy lately, hanging out with a girl called Su Yuanyuan every day. Princess Yi De is so worried about him, but he won't listen even when she tells him to."

Xia Chunyu's face changed, and he dragged Ye Jiayao out with a complicated expression.

"Hey, what are you doing? I have to go talk to him."

Xia Chunyu said nothing and stuffed her back into the car.

"Don't go. Xiaojing is doing something." Xia Chunyu said.

Ye Jiayao was stunned, wondering what he meant by "getting things done"? The pleasure of sex was sometimes also called getting things done.

Seeing her bewildered face, Xia Chunyu wanted to explain to her, but some things were hard to say, so he could only ask, "Do you think Xiao Jing is the kind of person who likes to flirt with women?"

Ye Jiayao shook her head. Although Xiao Jing was a bit arrogant like a nobleman, he had a kind character. In addition, Helian Xuan had always been very strict with him, so he did not have such bad habits.

"That's it. Don't worry about it. Sometimes men go to places like this not necessarily to do bad things." Xia Chunyu said it very subtly, but his attitude was firm.

Fortunately, he came with me today, otherwise Xiaojing’s plan would have been ruined.

Ye Jiayao vaguely guessed: "You mean, Xiao Jing is here to do serious business?"

Xia Chunyu looked at her with a smile, as if asking, what do you think?

Ye Jiayao rolled her eyes. What the hell! You didn't tell me earlier, which made her angry. Uh... But it seems that she didn't mention it. Chunyu wouldn't tell her everything about the outside world.

Forget it, now that she knows Xiaojing has not fallen, she feels relieved. Once Xiaojing's matter is settled, Princess Yide's doubts will naturally be eliminated.

After more than a month of hard work, the Ye’s Dessert House that Ye Jiayao had carefully planned finally opened for business.

Youshi, Princess Yide, the wife of Marquis Yongning, as well as Zhushi, A'ruan and others came to show their support. On the opening day, there was a constant stream of people and cars in front of the store, and the shop was bustling with people and beautiful women.

Several new hot drinks launched by Ye Jiayao, including Yinlu walnut juice, coconut milk juice, taro milk tea, etc., have been very popular.

In addition, the decoration here is very exquisite and elegant, and the utensils used, whether white porcelain or enamel porcelain, are all top-notch. In short, it is three good things: good environment, good things, and good service.

Ye Jiayao took the opportunity to launch a membership system with a high threshold. It was not that members could not get in, but the total number was also controlled, not exceeding one hundred people.

Ye Jiayao understood the mentality of these rich and powerful people very well. If anyone could come here, they would be disdainful. The more control and high the threshold, the more these people would think that being a member is a symbol of status. Once the wife of Marquis Yongning took the lead, a large number of people responded immediately, expressing their desire to become members, not just for the food, but to integrate into this circle. People in the circle do not want to be excluded, and people outside the circle want to take the opportunity to enter this circle.

After a busy day and seeing off the guests, Ye Jiayao asked the accountant to bring the account book and looked at it with a smile on her face.

Haha, almost all those who were invited today have become members. The first day is a friendly price, with a 50% discount, and the annual fee is 500 taels. A total of 48 people have become members, and more than 20,000 silver coins have been received. It is estimated that when the news spreads tomorrow, more people will want to join.

The membership fee will be 20% off tomorrow, and there will be no discount the day after tomorrow. Ye Jiayao is confident that she can fill up the 100 places tomorrow.

Ye's Dessert House became an instant success and became a popular place for noble ladies in Jinling City. Just imagine, this is the first place in history that is only open to women. This is a place that only people with a certain status can enter. Don't they have to squeeze in one by one? On weekdays, if you want to meet these top noble ladies, you have to go through all kinds of connections. With such a place, you can go in and see a lot of people you rarely see on weekdays. Just thinking about it makes your blood boil! Even those masters are very enthusiastic to support their wives and daughters to join.

This is the best place for ladies’ diplomacy!
Xia Chunyu didn't expect Ye Jiayao's trick to be so effective. In just four or five days, the hottest topic in Jinling City was Ye's Dessert House, and the membership fee alone recovered most of the decoration costs.

Is there any business that is more prosperous than this? Is there any business that can pay back the investment faster than this? Even Tianshangju will be outdone.

Xia Chunyu was full of admiration.

This woman is so amazing, she is born to be a businesswoman.

Mrs. You never thought that there would be a day when the person who came to her to ask for help just wanted to join the membership of Ye’s Dessert House. It made her head almost explode.

There was also Zhou, who had received a large amount of favors and asked Ye Jiayao to be flexible.

Ye Jiayao rejected them all.

Youshi was still a little unhappy, thinking that this was not a big deal, and why not make money? This kind of money should be made with peace of mind.

Ye Jiayao had to explain to her patiently.

Why do so many people want to join? It's because it's difficult. No matter what it is, it's precious when it's rare, but it's not rare when it's too much. Moreover, when there are too many people, the quality of service is difficult to guarantee. She wants to create high-quality products, so she has to look far ahead, not just for the immediate benefits.

Yu thought it made sense. If she were a member, she wouldn't care if anyone could come in.

One has to admire that when it comes to business acumen, no one can catch up with Ye Jinxuan.

The success of Ye’s Dessert House has made some people happy while others worried.

That day, Lin came to see Liuli again.

"Liuli, do you know Ye's Dessert House?"

Liuli seldom goes out, not because she doesn't want to, but because she has nowhere to go, so she is not well-informed. However, she is very sensitive to the surname Ye.

"I don't know." Liuli said lightly.

"You don't know." Lin looked at Liuli as if she were a monster, then sighed and said sarcastically, "No wonder you don't know. That Ye guy doesn't like you, so he naturally wouldn't tell you."

After hearing Lin's tone, Liuli confirmed her guess that Ye's Dessert Shop was opened by Ye Jinxuan.

"Isn't it just a dessert shop? Desserts are available everywhere. What's the big deal?" Liuli sneered.

Lin sneered and said, "He is so amazing now!"

Liuli frowned, but her expression remained calm: "Oh? What's the problem?"

Lin sneered, "The Ye family is really good at keeping people in suspense. They set up a membership system with certain requirements. Officials below the fourth rank are not allowed to join. There is a limit on the number of seats, with a maximum of 100 seats. First come, first served. Sorry, latecomers, even if you are the wife of a first-rank official, are not eligible. The membership fee is also ridiculously high, 1,000 taels of silver for three years, and you have to go through the membership procedures again after three years. It's obviously a scam, but so many people are flocking to it and rushing to give money."

Liuli felt very uncomfortable. Ye Jinxuan had so many tricks up her sleeve.

Lin carefully observed Liuli's reaction and added, "Now, she is a very popular figure in Jinling City. Everyone wants to make friends with her. She is so proud of herself that she really thinks she is a big shot."

Liuli felt even more upset. She had always regarded Ye Jinxuan as her competitor, but she was never better than her. Now she became even more dejected, while Ye Jinxuan became more and more proud. How could she not be upset?

"If it weren't for Princess Yide, the wife of Marquis Jing'an, and the wife of Marquis Yongning to support her, would anyone be interested in joining? I just don't understand, isn't she just someone who can cook? To put it bluntly, she's just a cook, what's so great about that? In terms of status and appearance, how can she compare to you?" Lin did her best to instigate.

Liuli was almost suffocating and said coldly, "That's because she knows how to pretend. She says one thing to one person and another thing to another. I have never seen a woman more scheming than her.
