HRPM – Chapter 137 Favorability Ranking (2)

Xiao Yu’s uniquely styled signature was immediately met with enthusiastic praise from the crowd.

Those girls who were infatuated with the Fourth Prince rushed to keep buying clothes, competing for a spot in the top ten so they could obtain his autograph.

Hongye, You Shou, and the other servants watched all of this unfold.

Their favor toward the Fourth Prince shot up dramatically, while their opinion of the Third Prince dropped just as fast.

So in their eyes, the ranking of the three princes became: Xiao Yu > Xiao Yan > Xiao Che.

The Third Prince had no idea that his impression within Jin Luoluo’s household had fallen to a historic low, and the Fourth Prince had no idea he had already become the prime candidate the Jin family was eager to matchmake.

“Wrap up all these clothes for me—I’ll take them all.”

A group of sword-bearing guards cleared the way as a procession of maids, surrounding their mistress like stars around the moon, pushed to the very front.

The woman at the center carried herself with noble arrogance—jade fan-shaped ornaments in her hair, a gold collar around her neck, and a proud, domineering expression on her pretty face.

At a glance, she was clearly a high-born young lady not to be trifled with.

“Sorry, Miss, these have already been purchased by that lady.”

Lüya pointed toward another richly dressed young lady in the distance who was selecting clothes.

“I’ll pay double. You’re not going to refuse me, are you?” the haughty girl said boldly.

Double the price? Lüya’s eyes immediately sparkled—what a windfall! Of course she wanted to sell.

Just as Lüya was about to agree, Hongye quickly pulled her aside and whispered in her ear.

“You silly girl, don’t act rashly. Miss said that in business, reputation matters most. If you lose credibility, no matter how much money you make now, it’ll be hard to survive later. Besides, look at these two women—neither is easy to deal with. I just heard from someone that the other lady is the Prime Minister Yang’s daughter. And judging from this one’s attire, her background must be significant too. We can’t afford to offend either of them. Let them fight it out like dogs over a bone—whoever wins, we’ll sell to her.”

Lüya was stunned. “Hongye, since when did you become so cunning? You’re practically possessed by Miss.”

With a gentle smile, Hongye said to the arrogant young lady, “Apologies, but we follow principles in business—first come, first served. Why don’t you discuss it with Miss Yang? If she’s willing to give it up, then we’ll sell it to you.”
