Now reading: Chapter 454 - 452: Pouring Oil on a Raging Fire from Gasp! She's a Time Traveler Using Modern Tech to Improve Ancient Life, a Romance novel by Bamboo Lin.

After the Tang Dynasty matters were settled, Lin Wanwan returned to her modern villa with the ready-made clothes sent by the shop assistants from Xiao Xi Town.

It was just dawn here, and Lin Wanwan headed directly to Tis Square with the new batch of ready-made clothes, taking two slender-necked plum blossom patterned vases from the Tang Dynasty along with her.

Upon arrival, the square wasn’t even open for business yet because she ca too early, and the parking garage was empty and smooth.

After parking the car, Lin Wanwan took out a small cart, placed the two boxes on it, and headed toward the elevator.

It’s not that she couldn’t carry them, she just didn’t want to easily showcase her strength in front of others.

When she arrived at the store, Lin Wanwan found that her cousin, Su Yanwei, was already there.

"Yanwei, you ca so early?"

Su Yanwei was busy cleaning and organizing the shelves for the final ti, and he turned around when he heard her voice and was surprised to see Lin Wanwan, saying, "Wanwan sis, you... your ancient costu really suits you today."

Lin Wanwan hadn’t changed out of her ancient attire when she left the house. Her outfit was a light yellow narrow-sleeved short shirt adorned with exquisite Su Embroidery at the chest, paired with a green floor-length skirt edged with scattered plum blossoms, draped with a red cloth on her shoulders, and a red belt hanging at her waist.

It was precisely the imagery from ng Haoran’s poem that "when sitting, the belt entwines slender grass; when walking, the skirt sweeps fallen plums" brought into reality.

Lin Wanwan smiled sweetly, saying, "Today, we are opening Yongtang, and everyone is dressed in Hanfu. You should change into yours too. By the way, changing outfit short videos are trending on Douyin lately, and we can make one too. Co on, let film one for you now."

Su Yanwei smiled wryly and said, "Do I have to be in the video too? I’d rather not."

Lin Wanwan replied, "Why? You don’t like being in videos? But I’ve arranged for many dia outlets to co today, and you’ll need to handle socializing with them, so you need to get used to it sooner or later."

"Alright, let’s film it then."

Su Yanwei had no choice but to cooperate. After finishing the casual wear segnt, Lin Wanwan took a set of crimson gauze robes and a pair of Six Harmonies Boots from the box and handed them to Su Yanwei, saying, "This is Tang Xuanzong’s favorite style. You can wear this suit today."

"Okay." When Su Yanwei ca out after changing in the fitting room, Lin Wanwan fild another video of his transformation.

Then she hung up the Hanfu she brought along one by one, and finally took out the pair of Great Tang Yue Kiln Green Porcelain.

Su Yanwei hurried over to help and asked curiously, "Wanwan sis, did you just buy these retro vases?"

Lin Wanwan said with a smile, "These are authentic Great Tang Green Porcelain pieces, placed here to enhance the grandeur."

Su Yanwei clicked his tongue and said, "Antiques?"

"Tang Dynasty green porcelain isn’t as valuable as you think. If this pair were to go on auction, they’d be worth only about a few hundred thousand."

"A few hundred thousand, only?" Su Yanwei felt that his concept of money differed from Lin Wanwan’s.

The siblings chatted while finishing the final arrangents.

As ti went on, the salespeople started arriving one by one.

Yongtang’s work uniform was Hanfu, and today all the young ladies and gentlen looked as if they ca from ancient tis, becoming a unique sight at Tis Square, quickly attracting the attention of nearby shop owners.

The manager of the distant Smiling Rain Shop saw the excitent over here and said unhappily, "Nowadays, all kinds of inferior brands can enter Tis Square."

The shop’s salespeople knew the manager was unhappy today, so they acted more cautiously to avoid being scolded.

Yongtang’s opening ceremony officially began, and the invitations Lin Wanwan had spread at Mrs. Lu’s tea gathering received a positive response. Quite a few people had co all the way from Hai City to support her today.

Lin Wanwan, dressed in ancient costu, was now adept at hosting these modern white-collar beauties.

Having handled the complex regulations of Great Tang’s noblewon, dealing with new modern elites whose ancestors were farrs wasn’t challenging at all.

If it were Western-style etiquette, Lin Wanwan might have struggled, but in her area, where the Tang Dynasty’s ancient etiquette was practiced, even a modern etiquette teacher might not be more knowledgeable than her.

After all, etiquette teachers learn Tang etiquette from archaeology and books, whereas Lin Wanwan had been personally demonstrated by noble families in the Great Tang.

Lin Wanwan’s exquisite ancient attire also drew admiration from the crowd, solidifying her role as Yongtang’s best brand ambassador.

Many white-collar beauties who saw Lin Wanwan’s vibrant and magnificent ancient Hanfu couldn’t resist her charm and opened their wallets.

The high-end ready-made clothes Lin Wanwan brought today were sold out.

Yongtang’s grand opening was even more successful than Red Face Smile’s back in the day, and Lin Wanwan’s business acun was becoming more refined.

Besides the white-collar beauties who ca with invitations, there was an elderly lady dressed simply but spending lavishly, pushing Yongtang’s single-day revenue well over ten million, and she was attended by Su Yanwei.

By then, it was already afternoon, and Lin Wanwan and the white-collar beauties from Hai City had left, and the store resud normal sales.

When the old lady entered, it was Su Yanwei’s turn to assist her. She perused the store’s embroidery and ready-made clothes and finally stopped before the Su Embroidery Screen that Lin Wanwan had purchased at a high price from the Great Tang Treasure House displayed in the showcase.

According to Treasure House, this embroidery piece erged from the hands of a noble lady whose family had fallen on hard tis. The composition was much more artistic than that of a regular embroideress, evidently deeply influenced by art.

"How much is this embroidery piece?" The old lady, after admiring it for a while, asked.

Su Yanwei showed a difficult expression and said, "This embroidery is the store’s crowning treasure, used for display without pricing. Madam, perhaps you could look at sothing else."

"No, I’ve set my heart on this one; price is not an issue." The old lady was determined.

Su Yanwei pondered for a mont and said, "Then let escort you to the VIP room for so tea and a rest while I make a call for approval."

"Alright."

Once the old lady was settled in the VIP room, Su Yanwei quickly phoned Lin Wanwan to inform her of the situation.

"Wanwan sis, the screen you brought in two days ago was chosen by an old lady today, and she wants to buy it. Are you willing to sell it? She said price is not a problem."

Lin Wanwan was surprised that soone would make a move on the embroidery she had intended to temporarily use as the store’s treasure for display on the very first day.

She had spent a significant amount of silk and pepper to acquire this embroidery from the Great Tang, a considerable investnt indeed, worth selling for millions without being an outrageous price.

Lin Wanwan didn’t hesitate too long and instructed Su Yanwei, "If the person really insists on buying this embroidery, tell her it’s priced at 9.2 million, no discounts."

Upon hearing the price, Su Yanwei felt a bit overwheld. After hanging up, he conveyed the price to the old lady, who surprisingly didn’t even blink and said she’d pay by card.

All the salesgirls in the shop were shocked by such a large transaction, with a commission alone being about a hundred thousand!

When Su Yanwei brought the card reader to the old lady, his heart was pounding.

In the luxury business, you can never judge by appearance. Look at this elderly lady dressed without any visible brands, casually agreeing to swiping her card for a nearly million-dollar embroidery piece without blinking. Truly, appearances can be deceiving, and the sea cannot be judged by its volu.

However, when Su Yanwei spoke about signing her up for a mbership, she refused, neither leaving an address nor accepting their delivery service.

Just as Su Yanwei wondered how the old lady would take the piece, he noticed there were two bodyguards waiting outside all along. After one phone call, the two ca in and carried the embroidery out.
