Chapter 531: The queen dowager’s secret business.
Jing Fang went on for one more hour, even answering a few questions from the audience before a video played on the screen. It showed all of her accomplishments, the rewards she had received and some of the people she helped along her way. A twenty minute break was allowed, hotel staff distributed drinks and some snacks before Rize returned and invited the queen dowager as the next speaker.
Press that was allowed to cover the conference zoomed in their cameras closer, wanting to get the faces of the attendees and the speakers closely.
"Um, since everyone here knows me I am sure that I do not have to introduce myself." the queen dowager smiled at the young women fondly despite not knowing them individually. "Let me start by saying how happy I am to see all of you. It’s good to see many hopeful faces around, your attendance of this conference means our empire will have a brighter future and It’s in excellent hands."
The women cheered for themselves, happy to receive the compliment as it was given.
"I know that many of you are wondering what the queen dowager is doing here. Some of you are thinking, ’ah, she is royalty, what could she possibly know about business? Her biggest challenge is probably picking which expensive jewelry to put in her hair."
A few women chuckled because indeed, they assumed the queen dowager had no struggles. She was royalty, wealth and a struggle free life went hand in hand with royalty.
"I am going to surprise you all today by telling you that I too am a business woman." she paused and took in the surprise in the room. "I own Ya hanfu."
Those with quick hands hurried to search for Ya hanfu and those who knew about that business were surprised. If the queen dowager owned this business then why didn’t she use her royal connections to promote it?
The mighty little peep star: [The queen dowager owns Ya Hanfu!! A fifty year old business which sells hand stitched hanfu’s. Who knew that the queen dowager was a secret excellent business woman?]
