Rong Lan lowered her head and took another bite of the roast chicken. "What's wrong with my store sign? Isn't it very attractive to customers?"
"Hehe—" Wang Tong rolled her eyes. "My dear young lady, if your store sign were placed in the most prominent position in a large shopping mall, you'd easily get arrested. The reason for the arrest would be promoting feudal superstition."
Rong Lan: "..."
Was it that troublesome? The difference from the era she was familiar with was too great.
"However, I think the location of the store you've found is actually very good. It's also in a large shopping mall, just in a rather remote corner." The more Wang Tong talked, the more she felt that her work ability justified the salary Rong Lan paid her.
Rong Lan was silent for a while. She felt that the roast chicken she had queued for half an hour to buy didn't taste good anymore. "Are you serious? If it weren't for finding the place you sent me, I wouldn't have been half an hour late. Just think about it. Where would a normal person go to such a corner when shopping in a mall?"
Seeing the strong doubt in her eyes, Wang Tong didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "My dear young lady, just trust me this once, okay? Making money is important, but if a store sign has the words 'Half Immortal' written on it, along with small words like 'Fortune - telling and Reading Minds' in a too prominent position, the person in charge will definitely get arrested."
Rong Lan coughed lightly, suppressing the distrust in her eyes. "Alright, alright, I'll listen to you."
She wasn't the kind of fox who couldn't accept opinions humbly.
The key was that Wang Tong was the little helper she had finally found for herself after staying up all night. She had paid him a monthly salary of 50,000. If he was unreliable, it could only prove one thing: the skill of calculating the causal line she had learned from her aunt was rusty, so she misjudged people.
She took a fancy to Wang Tong because the causal line on Wang Tong was simple. He was an ambitious and aspiring person, but sometimes he was so proud and conceited that he had been unrecognized for a long time. For this kind of subordinate, as long as she was willing to give him 200% trust, he would surely not let her down.
"Okay, I called you here today just to confirm the location of the store. You don't need to worry about the subsequent decoration. I'll make this store ready to officially open for business within a month." As Wang Tong said, he gave Rong Lan the design drawings of the store sign and the interior decoration.
Rong Lan couldn't read design drawings. She took a simple glance, pretended to be very satisfied and nodded, then returned the design drawings to Wang Tong. "I'm at ease leaving the matter to you. Since there's nothing else, can I go home?"
Wang Tong nodded. "If you want to go back, go back. I thought you'd want to stay and watch how the decorators work."
Rong Lan waved her hand. "I'm not interested in that."
Decorating the store would raise dust, which would affect her enjoyment of the delicious roast chicken.
Wang Tong watched as the delicate and good - looking girl ate the roast chicken with an air of calm elegance that an ordinary person couldn't imitate. After hesitating for a moment, he finally asked, "You, are you opening this fortune - telling shop for an elder or for yourself?"
He had seen fortune - tellers who claimed to be masters, but they were all a bit older. Rong Lan looked like a pampered young lady from a prominent family, and it was hard to associate her with the profession of fortune - teller.
"Of course it's for myself." Rong Lan paused. "Do I look like someone who can't tell fortunes?"
"Not only does it look like you can't..." Wang Tong complained. "If a fateful person really finds this store and goes in to see you sitting there, they'll either think you're also a customer or turn around and leave, regarding you as a fraud."
Rong Lan: "..."
It seemed that she still needed to consider how to disguise her appearance. After all, when her aunt first set up a fortune - telling stall in the imperial city, she transformed into an otherworldly old man. She didn't know if those people thought her aunt looked like a bearded immortal or for some other reason, but the fortune - telling stall did very good business.
Rong Lan's gaze fell on Wang Tong. She carefully examined Wang Tong's causal line. "Do you need me to tell your fortune?"
Wang Tong was so scared that he took a half - step back and waved his hand to refuse. "No, thanks. I don't believe in this kind of thing."
Rong Lan shrugged. "Alright, I won't bother you. Let's stop chatting. I'm going home to do other things. I hope, as you said, that I can see a brand - new store within a month."
"Okay." Wang Tong promised firmly.
Rong Lan turned around and left. When she reached the side of the main road outside, she found a trash can, threw away the paper bag with only chicken bones left, clapped her hands, and took out her phone to call a taxi home.
However, before she could finish the operation, someone stood beside her.
There weren't many people on the side of the road. The person standing beside her deliberately got close to her, so Rong Lan had a very obvious feeling of being offended.
But during the daytime, she surely wouldn't encounter a pervert who molested pretty girls, right?
She gritted her teeth and turned her head to see who it was. She thought that if it was really a pervert, she would punch him and teach the pervert a lesson.
However, when she turned her head and saw that extremely delicate and handsome face, she was stunned for a moment. The original memory in her mind automatically matched this face with its owner's name.
— Chu Chuan.
The younger brother of Chu Hengyuan, the illegitimate son of the Chu family, and the current person in charge of the Chu Group.
Rong Lan squinted her eyes. She didn't take meeting Chu Chuan here as a coincidence. The capital city was too big, even bigger than the imperial city in her memory. It was so big that she didn't believe in any coincidental encounters that weren't pre - planned.
Noticing Rong Lan's gaze, Chu Chuan then turned his head to look at Rong Lan. There was a harmless smile on his lips, and his eyes were shining with the high - spirited light unique to young people. "Hello, Miss Rong Lan."
The address of "Miss Rong Lan" softened Rong Lan's cold expression on her face, but secretly raised her vigilance to the maximum.
Chu Chuan was too smart. If it were the original owner in this body at this moment, this "Miss Rong Lan" would leave a very good impression on the original owner. When everyone no longer regarded her as the daughter of the Bai family and she herself didn't want to be the daughter of the Bai family, the address of "Miss Rong Lan" might just suit the original owner's wishes.
However, Rong Lan still preferred the address of "Miss Bai". This address was so interesting. It could enrage those who were jealous of her status as the daughter of the Bai family but had to admit that she was still Miss Bai for the time being, for example, it could enrage Bai Rongran.
"Mr. Chu Chuan." Rong Lan said indifferently, "What a coincidence."
Hearing Rong Lan accurately call out his name, Chu Chuan's eyes lit up slightly. He nodded slightly towards Rong Lan. "I've met Miss Rong Lan a few times. It's really my honor that Miss Rong Lan still remembers me."
