HRPM – Chapter 304 Appearing Too Early Is Too Degrading

Lan Cangxuan was only half convinced. He had a nagging feeling that the girl mixed truth with falsehood in her words—he just couldn’t tell which parts were real and which were fabricated.

“Is that really the case? Jin Luoluo, the most important thing for a merchant is credibility. If you’ve deceived me, the consequence will be the termination of all your future business dealings with Jialan Kingdom. Do you understand?”

Jin Luoluo felt guilty, but her expression remained resolute.

“I wouldn’t joke about my own reputation. Don’t worry—no one understands the importance of credibility better than I, Jin Luoluo.”

If the truth ever comes out, she thought to herself, I’ll just insist that after developing the firecrackers, I happened to use the leftover materials to create explosives. It’s simply making reasonable use of waste materials!

“Good. If you pull any tricks, you’re dead,” Lan Cangxuan threatened fiercely.

Jin Luoluo secretly patted her chest in relief. Even if I do pull something, I’ll never let him find out. Otherwise, I’m really dead for sure.

“Thank you all for honoring us with your presence today to celebrate the grand opening of our Yun family’s eighteen shops. We hope that everyone will continue to support the Yun family’s businesses in the future.”

An elderly man who appeared to be a steward stepped into the center of the hall and smiled as he cupped his hands in greeting toward the guests. His ruddy complexion and spirited eyes reflected confidence and pride.

The crowd burst into enthusiastic applause, hurriedly responding that they wouldn’t dare withhold their support.

“What’s going on? Don’t tell me the person in charge of the Yun family is this old man who’s practically one foot in the coffin already. He’s certainly not ordinary, but he still lacks the commanding presence of the master. On such an important occasion, where has the real boss gone? I came today hoping to witness the grandeur of the Yun family that has flourished for a hundred years.”

Jin Luoluo pointed out the issue without the slightest restraint.

“What’s the rush? The heavyweight figures always make their appearance last,” Lan Cangxuan replied indifferently.

“That’s true. Appearing too early lowers one’s value. You let the little fry go first to highlight your greatness, keep everyone in suspense, and then make a dazzling entrance that instantly shocks the entire audience. This person in charge really has a few tricks up his sleeve—he knows exactly how to show off in the most effective way.”

The only question was whether he was handsome enough.

Jin Luoluo thought rather uncharitably, If he looks like Zhu Bajie, he’d better not make a fool of himself. Otherwise, all these people who have been looking forward to this moment for so long will be so startled that their hearts won’t be able to take it.

The people around them couldn’t help but chuckle at Jin Luoluo’s novel perspective. The way she spoke was incredibly amusing—simple yet humorous, and within that humor, her remarks often struck right at the heart of the matter.
