Lu Yin looked at his own clothes and sweated a little. He only wore a few styles of clothes, and they were all outdated. But then again, why hadn't Zhao Ran prepared something decent for him?
He recalled her blank expression and sighed; it was time to find a female housekeeper for the Zishan Palace.
"Look, he's embarrassed," the girl giggled.
"He looks familiar, I think I've seen him somewhere before."
"He looks ordinary, but he's pleasing to the eye and has a different temperament. Sisters, who wants to go flirt with him?" a girl in revealing clothes asked eagerly.
"Little girl, don't be lustful, or your man will see."
"There are only pretentious hypocrites around, this kind of country bumpkin isn't common. Sister Ya, come and take a look!" the girl called out.
The woman who had been addressed as Sister Ya was looking at the catalog of the trading company, and she looked up helplessly. "Don't make fun of others." She subconsciously glanced at Lu Yin, but when she did, she froze up.
The girls noticed that something was wrong and quickly pushed her, "Sister Ya, what's wrong?"
Sister Ya froze for a moment, but then retracted the shock in her eyes, "It's nothing. Right, what were you talking about?"
"We said we wanted to flirt with that country bumpkin. Sister Ya, are you coming?" the girl in revealing clothes giggled.
Sister Ya's expression changed and she shouted, "Don't talk nonsense."
The girls were shocked; they had never seen Sister Ya so angry before. She was their boss and they were all from a very influential media company, so they usually had a good relationship with her. What was wrong with her?
However, the girls didn't dare to refute her anger and just lowered their heads, not knowing what was going on.
Lu Yin was still looking around curiously, wondering where Zi Xianxian was.
Forget it, I'll just go to the top floor. The person in charge is usually there.
Not far away, the girls felt wronged.
Sister Ya took a deep breath, "Stand here and don't move." She swallowed and walked towards Lu Yin.
The girls looked at each other in shock; did Sister Ya fall for a country bumpkin?
Was she in love?
Big news.
"H-Hello, I'm Xiao Ya from the Empire Morning Post. It's an honor to meet you." Sister Ya walked up to Lu Yin and bowed respectfully with a solemn expression.
Behind her, the girls were surprised and looked at each other. They were not stupid. Sister Ya's attitude just now combined with her current behavior, there was only one possibility. That country bumpkin was a big shot, and not just an ordinary big shot. Their Empire's Morning Post was very influential, and they could even meet the upper echelons of the empire. Sister Ya was even more influential, and it was said that she could meet the cabinet ministers. At this moment, sister Ya was so respectful, that person's identity might be very terrifying.
The women's expressions changed and they didn't dare to speak carelessly.
Lu Yin turned around and asked in surprise, "You know me?"
Before he came, he had made some minor adjustments to his face to prevent anyone from recognizing him.
Sister Ya respectfully said, "You are the Royal Regent."
Lu Yin was shocked. "How did you recognize me?"
Sister Ya took a deep breath and suppressed the nervousness in her heart. She replied, "All cultivators, especially those with higher status and greater influence, will disguise themselves when they go out. We have already simulated many of the higher-ups of the Empire and simulated their appearance after disguising themselves. Your Highness, your current appearance after disguising yourself is in our simulation results." Sister Ya took a deep breath and suppressed the nervousness in her heart.
Lu Yin nodded and muttered to himself, "It looks like I won't be able to make minor adjustments to my disguise in the future. I'll have to make major changes."
Sister Ya looked up at Lu Yin and respectfully asked, "Your Highness, are you shopping around?
Xiao Ya is willing to show you the way and show you around. "
"You know this place very well?" Lu Yin asked.
Sister Ya replied, "I come here every week, and I've walked around many times."
Lu Yin was amused. "Looks like you're a rich woman."
Sister Ya's face turned red, as Lu Yin's joke had made her feel less nervous. The person in front of her was someone who truly stood at the pinnacle, not just of the Great Yu Empire, but of the entire Great Eastern Alliance. A single word from him could influence countless people. Although Sister Ya had many connections and could even interview cabinet ministers, she had never dared to dream of meeting such a person. She had never imagined that the opportunity would be right in front of her.
"Take me around. I'm quite curious about the Amethyst Trading Company," Lu Yin said. Since he wanted to work with the company, he wanted to understand more about it.
"Yes, Your Highness."
"Don't call me that. Just call me Brother Lu."
Sister Ya blinked. "But you look younger than me."
Lu Yin smiled. "Then I'll call you Seventh Bro."
Sister Ya thought to herself, Isn't that the same? She realized that the Royal Regent was different from what she had imagined. He was not the type who would be so serious that he would scare children, and he could even joke around.
"Seventh Bro, can I ask you some questions?" Sister Ya asked carefully as she led the way.
Lu Yin casually replied, "Sure."
Sister Ya was delighted.
"Just don't publish it in the newspapers," Lu Yin added.
Sister Ya was speechless.
…
The girls stared blankly as Sister Ya respectfully led the way for the country bumpkin. They carefully followed him, and their eyes lit up. That person was definitely an important person, an extremely important person.
"Don't you think that person looks familiar?" one of the girls asked.
"I already said that he looked familiar, but I just can't remember," another girl said.
A girl in revealing clothes suddenly covered her mouth. "I-It's a disguise."
The girls' expressions changed drastically, and they circled around to the other side to look at Lu Yin's face. They exchanged glances, and they could guess who that person was. No wonder Sister Ya was so respectful.
…
After walking around for more than half an hour, Lu Yin hadn't even explored a tenth of the Amethyst Trading Company.
Through Sister Ya's words, Lu Yin gained a better understanding of the Amethyst Trading Company. This trading company had a very high status in the hearts of ordinary people, and it could be described with the words "good quality and cheap".
"Amethyst Trading Company's products aren't expensive, and they seem to be selling them in bulk. However, even the luxury items are sold at a cheaper price than outside. It's said that they don't have to pay taxes, but some say that it's because they have too many channels. Others say that many of the products are produced by them. In short, there are many theories," Sister Ya said.
"No one suspects that it's fake?" Lu Yin asked.
Sister Ya tucked her hair behind her ear and smiled. "Even if it's fake, with Amethyst Trading Company's influence, it's still worth more than the real deal. It's fine as long as it's from Amethyst Trading Company."
Lu Yin's lips curled up. That's right, so what if it's fake? As long as it's influential enough, it's still worth more than the real deal. His title as King Zishan was fake, but his current status far surpassed Undying Yushan's.
"Your colleagues are quite lively," Lu Yin said.
Sister Ya apologized, "I'm sorry to disturb you, Seventh Bro."
Lu Yin waved a hand. "It's fine, it's very interesting." He then looked up at the top floor. "Have you heard of Zi Xianxian?"
Sister Ya shook her head. "Nope."
Lu Yin grunted. "Alright, thank you for today. You can go back to your work." With that, he suddenly disappeared as if he had never been there.
Sister Ya stared blankly at the empty space in front of her and waved her hand. Seventh Bro, he's gone.
Not too far away, a few girls who had been following Lu Yin saw him leave, and they hurried over to talk amongst themselves.
Sister Ya sternly said, "Don't tell anyone about what happened today. If I find out who's spouting nonsense, it won't be as simple as just packing up and leaving. There won't be a place for that person in the entire Great Yu Empire."
The girls were frightened, and they hurriedly acknowledged her orders.
Sister Ya was very experienced and knowledgeable, and she vaguely knew that Amethyst Trading Company was not as simple as it seemed on the surface. The Royal Regent's appearance here meant something, and she had many guesses, but she did not dare to make wild guesses.
The Great Yu Empire and Amethyst Trading Company, or rather, the Great Eastern Alliance and Amethyst Trading Company. At the same time, she also deeply remembered the name Zi Xianxian.
Through his conversation with Sister Ya, Lu Yin had a basic understanding of Amethyst Trading Company, and he had also used his domain to find Zi Xianxian. Although he did not know this Zi Xianxian, and there were no words about her on the internet, she was very easy to find. There was only one girl in a purple dress at the top floor of the trading company, so who else could it be?
It was very strange, as all the people he had seen today were girls.
Zi Xianxian was very vexed. She was the third-in-line successor to Amethyst Trading Company, and her family had very high expectations of her. Actually, she did not want to participate in Amethyst Trading Company's matters, but her second brother was a martial arts maniac who only knew how to cultivate. Because of this, she had almost fallen out with her family, but even if they had not fallen out, her second brother had still lost the chance to inherit Amethyst Trading Company.
Her eldest brother was the first-in-line successor, and if nothing unexpected happened, he would be in charge of the trading company in the future. However, she did not know who had secretly tried to sow discord between her and her eldest brother, saying that she would compete with him for the trading company. This had caused her eldest brother to oppose her at every turn.
Because of this, Zi Xianxian had no choice but to escape to the eastern weaves. She had originally been safe and sound, but the eastern weaves had mysteriously formed an alliance and formed something called the Great Eastern Alliance.
The board of directors of the trading company had praised her foresight and said that the Great Eastern Alliance's market prospects were far greater than that of her eldest brother's central weaves. They also said that Lu Yin was someone who did not want to be left out, and that the Great Eastern Alliance had great prospects in the future.
In short, when the Great Eastern Alliance had been established, the board of directors had praised her to the heavens.
Because of this, her eldest brother had become crazed with jealousy, and he had even scolded her over a video call.
Zi Xianxian was also very helpless, as she had not known that something like this would happen. However, her eldest brother's scolding had angered her, and she had decided to stand up to him. Regardless of whether or not she would inherit the trading company in the future, she wanted her eldest brother to know that she was not someone to be trifled with. In order to prevent her eldest brother from causing trouble for her in the future, she had decided to cause him some trouble to deal with.
Because of this, she had decided to give Lu Yin five percent of Zenyu Star's Amethyst Trading Company's shares. She wanted to use this opportunity to attract Lu Yin's attention, as this person was very good at causing trouble.
However, Lu Yin had not come looking for her after such a long time, which was very strange.
However, he would definitely come looking for her in the near future, as Aegis would allow him to do so. That crazy organization of assassins would definitely give him a hard time.
