Chapter 337 - 331, Looking Like it Won’t Work (Looking for Recommendations, Subscriptions............. )_1
In Lyss City, on the commercial street.
The tavern that had been closed by the guards has reopened today.
But this time, not only has the owner changed, even the name of the shop is somewhat strange.
Enjoyable Hotpot Restaurant.
Early in the morning, a rabbit woman with the appearance of an orc was singing and dancing on a wooden platform set up at the entrance of the shop, making it quite lively.
Not only did it attract the attention of the entire street, but even the shopkeepers from the surrounding shops had put down their work and stood outside to watch the performance.
However, while there were many people watching the performance, there were very few people entering the shop to eat.
“Sir, it’s still morning now, there will be more people coming into the store in the evening.” Winnie smiled as she stood behind the counter, speaking to Fang Hao.
Fearing that no one would enter the shop, Fang Hao was anxious.
“Hmm, don’t worry, the taste of hot pot has already been verified in Pruell, it’s just a matter of time.”
It can be ascertained that the people here can accept the taste of hot pot, it’s just that anything new takes time to be accepted.
Slowly, as everyone gradually realized how delicious hot pot is, there would naturally be no need to worry about customers.
Fang Hao was quite confident about this.
“Hmm, you’re right.” Winnie continued to smile.
Ever since she stopped running the tavern, Winnie’s complexion had improved a lot compared to before.
Today, she also wore some light makeup, coupled with her voluptuous and enchanting figure, she attracted the eyes of men like a ripe peach.
“Alright, I’ll leave this to you, I need to attend to other matters.” Fang Hao instructed.
As the hot pot restaurant opened, staying here wouldn’t help much, it would be better for him to attend to his own affairs.
“Understood, sir.”
Leaving the hot pot restaurant, Fang Hao went straight to the City Lord’s mansion.
Lyss City, City Lord’s mansion.
After stating his purpose to the guards.
A maid led Fang Hao into the City Lord’s mansion, through the long corridor to the door of Rebecca’s office.
Just as she was about to knock on the door, she heard the sound of a man and woman arguing inside the room.
It seemed that they were arguing inside.
Fang Hao glanced at the maid, who awkwardly smiled and motioned for him to wait a moment.
After a while.
The door opened, and a tall, skinny man dressed in a green nobleman’s robe walked out. His face was pale, and his eyes were deeply sunken and dark.
He looked as if he was about to embrace the God of the Undead.
“City Lord Sir.” The maid slightly curtsied.
“Hmph!” The man snorted coldly and left directly.
Fang Hao was slightly taken aback as he stood in place.
Was this the city lord?
Rebecca’s husband?
He didn’t seem very promising.
As the man left, the maid knocked on the door again, “Madam, Mr Fang Hao has arrived.”
“Let him in.”
The maid pushed open the door, and Fang Hao entered the room.
The room was still decorated as a study.
“What brings you here this time?” Rebecca sat behind her desk, rubbing her forehead gently.
It seemed that she had encountered some troublesome matter.
But that had nothing to do with Fang Hao.
“Madam Rebecca, the dress you’re going to wear to the conference has been completed, I came to deliver it.” Fang Hao began.
Rebecca looked up, “So soon? It doesn’t seem like much time has passed since the last fitting.”
“Craftsman, we have to speed up efficiency in order to eat.” Fang Hao replied with a smile.
Rebecca stood up and came over.
“Show me.”
Fang Hao took out the prepared dress and handed it to Rebecca.
As she stroked the smooth fabric and admired the exquisite craftsmanship, her stern face gradually relaxed.
Rebecca was a mature and charming woman.
With the identity of the City Lord’s wife, combined with her temperament and appearance.
Describing this woman as deeply elegant and luxurious was by no means an exaggeration.
The maid came in, helping Rebecca take off her clothes, exposing her full, fair body.
She slipped into the blue dress.
At that very moment, Rebecca was like a radiant blue diamond, shining brilliantly.
Rebecca and the maid stared stunned at the image in the mirror, surprised at the impact the dress had.
Fang Hao stood quietly to the side, openly admiring the body of the most beautiful woman in Lyss City and observing Rebecca’s expressions.
Seeing the smile creeping onto the corners of her mouth, Fang Hao was certain that she was satisfied.
This dress was a success.
After studying herself in the mirror for quite some time, Rebecca couldn’t find a single flaw.
Be it the style or the craftsmanship, everything was impeccable.
The skeleton craftsmen, having honed their skills over endless years, were incomparable to mere craftsmen of several decades.
“Not bad.” Rebecca had no intention of changing out of the dress and continued to stand by the mirror.
For her to deem something as ‘not bad’ was a rare compliment in itself.
“As long as the madam is satisfied.” Fang Hao showed a small smile.
“When will the rest of the accessories be completed?”
There was still a month till the Federal Conference, so they didn’t need to worry about the progress on Fang Hao’s side.
However, she wanted to see the effect of the full set on her as soon as possible.
“The accessories will take some time. I will deliver them to you as soon as they are ready.” Fang Hao didn’t know when Luke the goldsmith would be done with the accessories as he didn’t inform him.
Being just a salesman, he was unable to estimate such details.
“By the way, I brought along a new pair of stockings this time.” Fang Hao suddenly remembered the Nightfall silk stockings and took out them.
The black silk shimmered with tiny, twinkling stars.
The stockings alone were very attention-grabbing.
Rebecca reached out her slender legs to slip on the stockings, and continued to examine herself in the mirror.
“Why did you come during the day this time?” Rebecca casually asked.
“Oh! My shop had its grand opening today, so I just came by after it ended,” Fang Hao casually answered.
“A fabric shop?”
Rebecca looked at Fang Hao in surprise.
Did he always work at such a fast pace? It wasn’t long since he bought the shop.
How did the opening happen this quickly?
“No, a hot pot restaurant,” Fang Hao answered.
“Oh, it’s the restaurant you mentioned.” Rebecca realized.
“Yes, it’s very delicious. It’s a specialty from my hometown, you should try it when you have the time,” Fang Hao took the opportunity to promote it.
“That might be a good idea, to see if it’s really as tasty as you claim.”
It seemed as if, her satisfaction with the clothing had put Rebecca in a good mood.
Her tone in speaking with Fang Hao had also become a little lighter.
“By the way, Madam Rebecca, I heard that you often attend balls and social events. I have a few more sets of dresses here, I am unsure if you need any,” Fang Hao continued to promote his products.
There was no money to be gained by handing over the conference dress to Rebecca.
It could be understood that the exemption from one year’s tax for his shop within the Lyss City, was the payment for the dress.
Now, what Fang Hao was selling, he would be charging for.
“Oh really? Do you have new dress designs?” Rebecca showed interest once again.
Balls, dinner parties, operas, these were common evening activities among the nobles.
Through these activities, the nobles discussed business deals and built connections.
There would be one or two, or sometimes even more, every week.
So, having more dresses was always a good thing.
“Yes, I brought the design sketches for two sets today, would you like to take a look?”
“Sure, let me take a look.” Rebecca walked over.
She was also looking forward to Fang Hao’s designs.
“Alright.” Fang Hao pulled two design sketches from his bag.
One was a Cheongsam, the other was a Western-style long tail dress.
However, both designs had been adjusted by Fang Hao to accentuate a woman’s physique— belly retraction and buttock lifting, further highlighting a woman’s figure.
This…
Rebecca looked at the sketch in her hands in astonishment.
Although these two dresses weren’t as complex as the one she wore, the effect they presented was nonetheless extremely daring.
They sought to primarily emphasize the physique of a woman.
“These two dresses require a very good body figure to bring out their effect, they may not look as good on ordinary people.” Fang Hao supplemented from the side.
Upon hearing Fang Hao’s words, Rebecca felt a slight blush creeping onto her face.
He was complimenting her physique!
