Busy until evening, Wang Chen and Su Ziling saw off the last customer.
They closed the door and exchanged a smile.
According to the custom of Thousand Star Immortal City, on the first day of a new store's opening, business is conducted only during daylight, and in the evening they tally up the sales accounts.
Su Ziling eagerly took out the account book, which listed every transaction of the day.
And the final sum made the young girl beam with joy, "Master, we earned five hundred and seventy-four thousand Spirit Stones today!"
Wang Chen couldn't help but laugh and cry, "How can this be considered profit?"
The five hundred and seventy-four thousand Spirit Stones were merely the turnover; if the costs including rent were considered, they were still far from breaking even—in fact, selling all the stocked goods would not truly cover the costs.
