Guide to Failing as a Full-Level Green Tea-Chapter 27 - Hunger Marketing

In just one month, the court was in turmoil, with events developing in a certain direction.

Gu Zhi had found a suitable bookshop for Shen Roujia and even introduced her to a business expert.

However, that person happened to be Shen Hexuan’s student, and inner chamber women had no chance of meeting him.

Shen Roujia was worried about not having the chance to visit Shen Hexuan, so she wrote a letter to her family and sent it back.

Just as she finished packing and was about to leave the palace, she ran into an acquaintance on the way.

Rong Shuyao had already taken off her hair crown and styled her hair into a hanging ear bun. She respectfully bowed to Shen Roujia, “This servant greets Your Highness.”

Shen Roujia frowned slightly, “Rise.”

Rong Shuyao looked much thinner and somewhat pitiful, “This servant is in a hurry to deliver books and ink to His Highness, so I won’t delay Your Highness.”

Rong Shuyao had spent some time in the Taoist temple and had become much more composed.

Although Shen Roujia was a bit puzzled, she nodded and made way.

Xiao Fu also looked at Rong Shuyao’s departing figure.

Shen Roujia couldn’t help but ask, “I remember she was punished for three months, wasn’t she?”

Xiao Fu clicked his tongue, “That lady had a serious illness in the Taoist temple a few days ago and almost died. His Highness softened and secretly brought her back.”

Shen Roujia nodded repeatedly in praise, “He was deceived to that extent and can still forgive her. He truly has deep feelings.”

Xiao Fu paused slightly, “Your Highness, should we go to His Highness to talk about leaving the palace?”

Shen Roujia pursed her lips, smiling playfully, “I’ll leave the palace directly with my token. His Highness has many worries, so we better not disturb him.”

...

The carriage entered the Shen family’s gate discreetly. Shen Siqi rushed toward Shen Roujia like an arrow, “Jiao Jiao, let me see if you’ve lost weight.”

Shen Roujia held her hand and responded, “Second Sister, is Brother at home?”

Shen Siqi smiled and waved to the maids behind her, “You all may leave.”

Once everyone had dispersed, Shen Siqi cautiously whispered to Shen Roujia, “Jiao Jiao, the person you’re looking for is already in the study.”

Shen Roujia’s expression became serious instantly, “Alright, I’ll go over now.”

Just outside the study, she heard reprimanding voices inside.

“Your father entrusted you to me to teach you well, not to listen to your nonsense. Do this task properly for me this time. I won’t pursue the matter of you pulling the teacher’s beard last time.”

Shen Roujia couldn’t help but chuckle. A young voice from inside shouted, “Who? Who’s laughing at me?”

Shen Hexuan helplessly knocked on his head, “Why so much nonsense?”

He opened the door, looked around, and then pulled Shen Roujia inside.

“Jiao Jiao, this is the person you were looking for, Qiao Qi.”

Shen Roujia looked up at the free-spirited young man in front of her. His appearance didn’t quite match his arrogant voice.

His gentle eyebrows and kind appearance seemed to take after his mother.

“Young Master Qiao.”

The girl, as beautiful as a fairy, smiled at him with curved eyes. Qiao Qi scratched his head shyly and blushed involuntarily.

“This, who is this...”

Shen Hexuan couldn’t help but look at Shen Roujia, seeing his useless look.

“Jiao Jiao, why did you want to find him? If needed, I have better recommendations.”

Shen Roujia shook her head slightly and smiled at Qiao Qi, “I am Shen Roujia. Qiao Qi, right? Nice to meet you.”

Qiao Qi was dumbfounded, “Oh, oh... I am.”

Qiao Qi smiled foolishly and suddenly realized, “Wait, you, you’re the Crown Princess?!”

Shen Hexuan sighed and pulled Qiao Qi by the collar to the side, “I called you here to discuss something. And if you dare to spread this, you know, you have plenty of black accounts.”

Qiao Qi shrank his neck in fear, “Sir Shen, you’re unbelievable.”

Shen Hexuan wanted to knock his head again. Shen Roujia quickly intervened, “Brother, let’s talk business first!”

Qiao Qi swiftly dodged behind Shen Roujia, “Hmm, my cousin-in-law is the best, beautiful and kind.”

Shen Roujia paused, frowning slightly.

“I asked Brother to invite you because I have a matter to cooperate with you.”

Qiao Qi quickly said, “Really, have my idleness spread to the palace? What do you want me to sell?”

Shen Hexuan gritted his teeth in frustration, “You seem quite proud of yourself.”

Before Qiao Qi could finish his words, Shen Roujia took out a book from her sleeve.

“Doing this will earn you more than colluding with foreign merchants to supply spices to the girls in the building.”

Qiao Qi’s smile froze instantly, “What? How did you know...”

Shen Roujia smiled like a fox, as if she had planned everything.

“Young Master Qiao, you have a talent for business. You just need an opportunity to realize your value.”

Shen Roujia paused and looked up to meet Qiao Qi’s gaze.

“I give you this opportunity. It’s up to you to seize it.”

Qiao Qi hesitated for a moment, then reached for the book on the table. Upon seeing it clearly, his eyes lit up.

“This is the second half?”

Shen Roujia lazily sat on the stool, “Mm-hmm.”

Qiao Qi was a bit shocked, “The first edition too, are you that anonymous scholar?”

Shen Roujia yawned, “If not me, then my brother?”

Qiao Qi foolishly said without thinking, “This book is witty and humorous, with hidden satire on social norms. It’s a long talk book never seen before in the market. Sir Shen is so rigid, how could he write it...”

Shen Hexuan’s face darkened, staring at the back of his head.

Qiao Qi seemed suddenly interested.

“So, what plans does Cousin-in-law have? Just give orders.”

Shen Roujia unconsciously smiled, “Hunger marketing.”

Qiao Qi, having never heard this term, blinked, “What does that mean?”

Shen Roujia paused, then shook her head, “How to explain, I ordered thirty thousand copies from the bookshop, and they are still being printed. Your task is to create a buzz and make it seem like demand exceeds supply.”

She handed an order to Qiao Qi, smiling, “Hmm... the rest is up to you.”

Qiao Qi seemed to have a sudden realization, striking his fist, shouting, “Brilliant.”

His head was immediately knocked.

Shen Hexuan gritted his teeth, “Keep your voice down.”

Shen Roujia couldn’t help but laugh, “Ahem, let’s consider it settled for now. You can discuss the rest with my brother.”

Shen Roujia left the study without delay, intending to leave through the back door.

But as Shen Siqi pestered her, she had no choice but to take her along secretly.

In the end, only Xiao Fu was left in the room to watch.
