Chapter 449: Chapter 449: Far More Cunning than This Old Hand of the Itinerant World Chapter 449: Chapter 449: Far More Cunning than This Old Hand of the Itinerant World They only recognized Big Bull, and on the first night Qinger Building opened, it was he who drove the dwarf away.
They also knew of Nanny Sun’s high regard for him, so they didn’t even try to stop him and let them go in directly to see Nanny Sun.
In fact, the purpose of these thugs standing at the door was to prevent some people from coming here to cause trouble, and also to deal specifically with some who, after flirting with the girls, would try to run away without paying–the deadbeats.
This was the rule of the business, and every brothel, in order to prevent this kind of situation, would hire a dozen or so thugs for use in special circumstances.
The two strode boldly into the hall, perhaps because it was daytime, there weren’t many customers, just a few stray ones scattered about.
Walking through one noisy room after another, they came to a quiet courtyard.
Judging from the hoarse voice, heavy with sleepiness, Nanny Sun was still sleeping.
“It’s me,” Xuexue’s crisp voice sounded.
It sounded like something heavy hit the ground, followed by Nanny Sun’s flustered voice, hoarsely saying, “Aiyo, wow! The Master is here!”
Clearly, Nanny Sun recognized Xuexue’s voice. Immediately a clamor arose inside, like someone hurriedly getting out of bed and searching everywhere for clothes to put on.
Nanny Sun hastily put on her clothes and, with hair disheveled, opened the door. Usually, her heavy makeup concealed her true face, but today, caught unprepared and without makeup, her skin was very slack, and without makeup, she looked more than ten years older.
“Master, what brings you so early?”
“Early? It’s already past noon.”
“Hehe…! I went to bed just before dawn, so I got up a bit late today,” Nanny Sun said with a face full of eagerness to please.
The brothel had its own upside-down schedule, which Xuexue understood quite well. She nodded and said, “I’m just here today to have a look at Qinger Building, nothing serious, don’t be too anxious.”
Nanny Sun looked nervous and disheveled, and Xuexue found it hard to look at her directly.
“Master, you and this big brother, please wait in the next room. I’ll come over after I freshen up.”
Xuexue nodded, and together with Big Bull, entered the next room, a neatly arranged chamber that Nanny Sun usually used to entertain some wealthy young masters.
They had been sitting for no longer than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea when Nanny Sun, having cleaned up, rushed over in a hurry.
“Master, big brother, I’m sorry to have kept you waiting.” Nanny Sun appeared in heavy makeup, sweeping away her earlier disheveled appearance.
Xuexue picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and said, “We don’t have much business today, just passing by and thought we’d take a look.”
“Business has been good recently, Master, you can rest assured.”
“How come when I came in just now, I saw only a few people?”
“It’s always during the day; our business mainly happens at night,” Nanny Sun hurriedly explained.
Xuexue nodded in understanding.
Deep down, Nanny Sun admired the Master. Although she was just a little girl, she was much better at business than Nanny Sun, an old hand in the Itinerant World.
After the renovation of Qinger Building and the training of the girls, business indeed improved several times over.
The girls, ever since they learned how to apply makeup and saw such big changes in their appearances, became exceptionally beautiful and were very pleased with themselves; they served clients even more diligently.
“Nanny Sun, you are familiar with the town, do you know if there are any empty shops around here?”
“What’s this? Does the Master intend to open another shop?”
