Uninvited Guest

The streets sold everything except for books.

Books were a luxury item among luxury goods. They were high and mighty. No one would open a bookstore in this place.

Chu Qingzhi explained to Wu Yaqing the benefits of opening a bookstore near the back street of Yunfei School. Once Wu Yaqing's bookstore was up and running, it could also sell paper from their own workshop at a lower price, which would surely be good for business.

After some thought, Wu Yaqing found Chu Qingzhi's reasoning sound. "I'll secure a location for the shop tomorrow," she decided.

Chu Qingzhi then proposed, "Yaqing, how about we innovate a bit?"

Wu Yaqing was puzzled, "What do you mean?"

Chu Qingzhi shared the Starbucks business model with Wu Yaqing, suggesting they adapt it by replacing coffee and other foods with items from their era, creating a sort of ancient Starbucks vibe.
