My Lady Always Lacks Ambition

Third Grandmother Tu’s determination to acquire the Jade Snow Skin caused Qin Liuxi’s eyebrows to raise slightly as she leisurely observed Manager Ye.

Manager Ye inwardly cursed, but his face bore a smile as he said, "Third Grandmother Tu, unfortunately, the Jade Snow Skin has already been reserved by someone else."

Third Grandmother Tu’s delicate eyebrows furrowed, asking, "Who?"

Manager Ye glanced toward Qin Liuxi, and Third Grandmother Tu also turned to look her over from top to bottom, saying, "Is it you?" Her chin lifted slightly as she added, "Since the item hasn’t left the store, the highest bidder should get it, right? Whatever price she’s offering, I’ll give double."

Manager Ye chuckled and said, "Third Grandmother Tu, you’re also a longstanding customer of Changsheng Hall and should understand its rules—first come, first served. Regarding who ends up with the goods and what they do with it, Changsheng Hall does not intervene."

Of course, rules are made to be broken depending on who it concerns.

Such as the Boss, or the person standing before us. What is broken, is broken.

Don’t ask why the rules seem like child’s play, it’s just the Boss’s capricious nature.

Third Grandmother Tu knew this as well; Changsheng Hall was not your ordinary apothecary. If you come to buy, they honor first come first serve, not who offers more.

If you try to use your status to throw a fit, well, unfortunately, that simply won’t work. If it offends Changsheng Hall, you might even be blacklisted; thereafter, any requests for medicine will be outright denied.

There were those with power who brandished their status at Changsheng Hall, trying to use their influence, but somehow Changsheng Hall managed to present a stack of evidence of crimes committed by that powerful family directly to the emperor, resulting in their family being confiscated and beheaded.
