Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

A silk and satin shopkeeper saw Chu Qingzhi walking by and hurriedly greeted her, “Miss Chu.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled and nodded, “Shopkeeper Xia.”

Shopkeeper Xia was delighted that Chu Qingzhi remembered him among the hundred or so shopkeepers in Guangxi Garden, “My business for the past two days is equivalent to half a year, thanks to Miss Chu’s help.”

Chu Qingzhi humbly replied, “It’s because Shopkeeper Xia’s products are good,

I just played a role in advertising.”

Shopkeeper Xia expressed his gratitude, “Still, I have to thank Arliss Chu for organizing the food festival.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled and said, “I hope Shopkeeper Xia’s business will become more and more prosperous.”

After chatting for a while, Chu Qingzhi continued to patrol.

“Hello, Miss Chu.”

“Hello, Miss Chu.”

“Hello, Miss Chu.”

When Chu Qingzhi passed by the small stalls, everyone greeted her, as if she was the sugar mommy. They were friendly and grateful.

Fan Yuru and Rong Shiyu felt that they were already very popular, but Chu Qingzhi’s popularity showed them what real popularity was. Almost everyone would greet her. The places she passed by were always the center. It was amazing.

“Miss Chu, please wait.” Zhou Yunlin caught up.

Chu Qingzhi turned around and saw a low-key and extremely rich middle-aged man. The accessories on his head, the clothes he was wearing, the prayer beads in his hand, and the boots on his feet were all the best things in the Baling Dynasty.

“First Master Zhou.”

Zhou Yunlin was Zhou Xiangfu’s eldest son. He smiled and said, “I didn’t tell you I’m the eldest. How did you guess?”

Chu Qingzhi smiled and said, “You told me yourself.”

Zhou Yunlin was puzzled. “When?”

There was a tea stall nearby. Chu Qingzhi brought Zhou Yunlin to the small tea stall and sat down. “When out doing business, the only person that can be with Old Master Zhou is the eldest son.”

Zhou Yunlin poured the tea and smiled. “It seems like 1 was indeed the one who told you.”

Chu Qingzhi looked at the teacup Zhou Yunlin placed in front of her. “First Master Zhou, if you have anything to say, just say it.”

Zhou Yunlin drank the tea and said, “1 heard that Miss Chu needs a lot of glutinous rice, flour, and grains. Coincidentally, our Zhou family can provide it. What do you think, Miss Chu?”

Chu Qingzhi glanced at Zhou Yunlin, knowing that her family’s grain needs were a mere trifle for the Zhou family. She just didn’t know why he wanted to collaborate with her.

“Sorry, I already have a supplier,” she said.

Zhou Yunlin, curious, asked, “May 1 know who?”

Chu Qingzhi openly shared, “The Ning family from the capital.”

Ning Yuting’s family business was also very big, but it was much smaller than Zhou family’s. It was about one-tenth of Zhou family’s business.

Zhou Yunlin, aware of the business landscape in the capital, knew exactly which family it was, “May 1 ask why Miss Chu chose the Ning family?”

Chu Qingzhi explained, “Ning Yuting from the Ning family is my second sister’s fiance.”

So that was the case. Zhou Yunlin couldn’t help but want to ask if Chu Qingzhi still had any unmarried siblings. Becoming in-laws with the Chu family would make their relationship more stable. “Sorry to disturb you, Miss Chu.”

“It’s ok, First Master Zhou.” Chu Qingzhi stood up and bade farewell, leaving the tea stall with the two girls.

A young man in green stood in front of a small stall. He looked furious and said indignantly, “The golden bracelet you sold me is fake. 1 want a triple refund.”

Many people immediately gathered around to watch the commotion.

When the shop assistant saw this, he immediately said loudly, “Don’t slander us. What we sell at our stall is real. It can’t be fake.”

The young man in green took out a piece of paper and wiped it with the golden bracelet, leaving a golden mark on the paper. “Is this real? Will real gold lose its color just like that?”

The shop assistant looked at the young man in green. “What proof do you have that this was bought from our stall?”

The young man in green took out a piece of paper from his pocket and said reasonably, “I have the receipt written by your shopkeeper.”

The shop assistant looked at the receipt. “The receipt is correct, but how can you prove that the golden bracelet was bought from our stall?”

When the young man in green heard this, he immediately became anxious. “Are you accusing me of deliberately forging a fake golden bracelet to deceive you?”

The shop assistant said, “Maybe.”

The young man in green didn’t know what to do. “This golden bracelet was bought from your stall. How can you not admit it?”

The shop assistant said, “As long as you can prove it’s bought from us, I guarantee that I’ll give you a triple refund. Our shop has been in this line of business for a long time. We definitely won’t ruin our reputation for a golden bracelet.”

The young man in green was anxious. “The golden bracelet can’t speak. How can I prove it?”

“Miss Chu is here…”

The crowd immediately made way.

Chu Qingzhi looked around. “Why are you guys gathered here?”

The young man in green rushed in front of Chu Qingzhi and raised the golden bracelet. “Miss Chu, they sold fake goods. I came to return it, but they said that it doesn’t belong to their shop.”

Chu Qingzhi held the golden bracelet in her hand and looked at it. “This golden bracelet is indeed fake.” She looked at the shop assistant. “Do you have any special symbols or marks on the things in your shop?”

The shop assistant immediately nodded. “Yes.” He took the golden bracelet and looked at it. “All the gold jewelry made by our shop will be engraved with a peony flower, but this golden bracelet doesn’t.”

He picked up a gold ring from the stall and pointed at the inside of the gold ring for Chu Qingzhi to see. “This is it.”

The young man in green flipped the golden bracelet around and really didn’t see a carving. His expression turned very ugly. “But this golden bracelet was indeed bought from your stall.”

After he said that, he ran to look at the gold ornaments one by one. The shop assistant did not lie to him. Every one of them had carvings.

“How could this be? How could this be?”

Chu Qingzhi gently inquired, “After you purchased the gold bracelet, did it ever leave your sight, or did anything unusual happen?”

The young man in green fell into deep thought. After a while, he remembered. “On the way back, I met someone. We bumped into each other and the things in our hands fell to the ground at the same time…”

The shop assistant interrupted, “The gold bracelet you bought must have been swapped at that time.”

The young man in green did not refute her. He looked at the fake bracelet in his hand and fell into endless regret. After a while, he said, “Miss Chu, is there a way to find it?”

Chu Qingzhi said, “Do you remember what that person looked like?”

“I only took a brief glance at that person…” The young man in green tried his best to recall. “He had a mole near the corner of his mouth and was quite burly. I almost got knocked over by him.”

Chu Qingzhi said, “I’ll try my best to help you find it. Where is your house? If I find it, I’ll send it to you.”

The young man in green immediately told Chu Qingzhi the address. “Thank you, Miss Chu.”

The three of them continued walking.

Fan Yuru asked, “Qingzhi, can you find this person with just these two characteristics?”

Chu Qingzhi shook her head slowly. “I’m not sure. Let’s try.”

Fan Yuru sympathetically said, “He bought a real item, but it got unintentionally swapped with someone on the way. If I were the other person, 1 would be wild with joy to have this lucky find..”
