Lu Yao was packing his things in the lounge. He would be going into the palace tomorrow and would need a lot of machines.
In order to prevent any mistakes, she also plans to engrave an anti-loss magic circle on each item later.
Jin Lu and Qi Wuxing hurriedly pushed the door open, "Boss, we're back."
Lu Yao was still busy packing his things. "Thank you for your hard work."
Qiwu handed the signed order receipt to Lu Yao.
Jin Lu took out a brown cloth bag from his chest, opened it carefully, and handed it to Lu Yao: "Boss, the master craftsman at the kiln factory gave us this and asked us to bring it to you."
Lu Yao stopped what he was doing and looked up. "Is this... glass?"
In Jin Lu's hand was a lipstick tube that looked like it was made of glass. Its transparency was not as high as the glass door of a movie theater, but the outline of the glass could be seen, and it was specially burned into the shape of a lipstick tube.
Jin Lu smiled and nodded: "The old master came to the cinema to watch "Moon Landing Plan" two days ago. He said that he was inspired and went back to the kiln factory for two days and two nights, changing several materials before firing this lipstick tube. He wanted to come to see you in person and ask if this is very similar to the transparent wall of the cinema? But the old man couldn't stand it for two days and wanted to go back to rest, so he asked us to bring this to you first."
Lu Yao picked up the broken glass lipstick tube and called the system: "Authentication."
[One positive feedback item influenced by the cinema has been confirmed. A total of three positive feedback items have been certified. Two new films were released during the mission. The mission progress is five-sixths. Please keep working hard, store owner! ]
Lu Yao relaxed and waited for the premiere of "The Judge Advocate of Daliang" tomorrow, and his mission would be accomplished.
She took the glass lipstick tube and looked at it carefully, then said to Jin Lu and Qi Wu, "It is indeed glass, the same material as the transparent walls of the cinema. It's just that the glass used in the cinema is quite special. For the time being, the hardness and transparency may not be the same. But it is still very remarkable. It is really remarkable that such a result was obtained in a short period of time through self-exploration."
The mirror may be online earlier than expected.
Qiwu came over and said, "Boss, can the lipstick tube be changed to this style? I think this shiny one looks really good."
Scarcity makes things valuable, and this applies everywhere.
Lu Yao and Fu Chi both prefer today's white porcelain lipstick tubes. The people of the Dawu Dynasty would probably prefer glass packaging.
Lu Yao felt that it was indeed possible to produce a batch of glass lipstick tubes to promote the lipstick again and popularize the use of glass at the same time.
She nodded and said, "When the master from the kiln factory comes over, I'll talk to him."
Lu Yao put away the glass lipstick tube that Jin Lu brought back and continued to pack.
After a while, Hongyu reported: "The Jiang family member who handed in the visiting card a few days ago has arrived."
Lu Yao kept moving his hands, "Please ask them to go to the tea room on the second floor. I'll be there soon."
Recently, Lu Yao has been receiving many shop owners and various guests. He felt that it was a bit inappropriate to always receive them in the lounge, so he built a new tea room upstairs specifically for receiving guests who wanted to discuss business cooperation.
Lu Yao pushed open the door of the tea room. Die Qi and the butler were standing at the door. Old Master Jiang, Jiang Yudie and Jiang Cheng were sitting around the table, sipping tea and eating snacks.
When Old Master Jiang saw Lu Yao, he immediately stood up and said, "Manager Lu."
Lu Yao walked over quickly and raised his hand to stop him: "Old sir, please take a seat. You don't have to be so polite."
Jiang Yudie and Jiang Cheng looked sideways. It was the first time they saw the old man being so polite to others, and Lu Yao's attitude was also a little different from the last time he met them.
Lu Yao had already asked someone to investigate Jiang's background.
The store has most of the spies and informants, so there is no need to hire anyone else, and intelligence can be obtained quickly and steadily.
The Jiang family is like an old tree with deep roots and lush leaves. Its roots are in the south of the Yangtze River, but its branches and leaves extend far away. They can be found throughout the Dawu Dynasty.
The old man who came today was the previous head of the Jiang family. The Jiang family had its peak thirty years under his leadership.
Although the Jiang family is still known as the richest family today, it is far less wealthy than when this person was the head of the family.
However, it may also be an excuse to change the head of the family to restrain his actions. After all, the tallest tree in the forest will be destroyed by the wind.
When Lu Yao received the visiting card
It was a bit unexpected. I thought that after the last meeting, Jiang’s people would at most change their attitude towards contact. I didn’t expect to attract such a person.
Old Master Jiang looked at Lu Yao, a faint smile on his wrinkled face, and his eyes, which had seen the vicissitudes of life, revealed a curiosity and approval that was inconsistent with his age: "I thought I had experienced a lot in my life and met countless people. I was no longer surprised by the things and people in the world. I didn't expect that at this age, I could still meet a person like Manager Lu. It's true that young people are to be feared."
This... is it a compliment
Lu Yao was stunned and didn't react.
Jiang Yudie, Jiang Cheng and the butler standing by the door almost lost the ability to control their expressions. Even the current master had never been praised so highly by the old man.
Only Die Qi looked as if it was a matter of course that the young shopkeeper was of course the best.
Lu Yao lowered his head slightly, raised his hand and pulled his hair, "I'm afraid you didn't come here just to praise the young man?"
Old Master Jiang laughed loudly. "Not at all. Maybe because I'm old, I don't like those roundabout tricks. Xiaolu, I watched the movie "Moon Landing" in your cinema a few days ago."
Lu Yao sat up straight, resting one hand on the table, leaning forward in a listening posture.
The wrinkles on Old Master Jiang's face converged in the middle, like gullies dug out by the wind on a pile of yellow sand, but his eyes were bright and shining: "That play was great, really great. At any time, only a small group of people can walk in the front. The advantage of being old is that you know a little more than young people. I can vaguely smell a hint of wind. It's a pity that I'm old and can no longer be the torch that walks in the front. I thought about it and it seems that being an ugly stepping stone is not bad."
When he spoke the last few sentences, there was unmistakable regret and unwillingness on Old Master Jiang's face, but his tone was gentle but firm.
Lu Yao clenched his fingers and smiled: "Without those stones of various shapes piled up to form the stairs, how can there be the torch of those who are walking in front? Take the "Moon Landing Project" for example. The astronauts' successful landing on the moon was not just the credit of one or two scientific research teams. Without the taxes paid by millions of subjects over the years, how could they support their perseverance? So there have never been ugly stepping stones, but only solid foundations built up by countless fine sand and dust."
With a crisp "bang", Jiang Yudie accidentally broke the water cup, looking a little helpless: "Sorry, I didn't hold it firmly for a moment."
Old Master Jiang seemed to have heard nothing, staring straight at Lu Yao, and suddenly raised his hands to cover his eyes, laughing loudly: "Young people are to be feared, young people are really to be feared."
Die Qi cleaned up the crumbs on the ground and replaced a cup of tea for Jiang Yudie.
Jiang Yudie looked at Lu Yao with complicated eyes, and slowly clenched her hands under the table into fists.
At this moment, she suddenly thought of that person.
Once upon a time, that person also said something similar to the old man.
But at that time, she did not give such a beautiful answer like Shopkeeper Lu.
Jiang Cheng was almost dumbfounded. This woman was so bold.
Old Master Jiang is a wonderful person. After arriving in Liangjing, he hangs out in the cinema every day, where he has seen movies, modern toilets, dryers, claw machines, exotic food, lipsticks... all kinds of new things, but he still has his original intention and wants to cooperate with the cinema to open a paper mill.
Jiang will build a new paper mill in Liangjing, specializing in toilet paper.
Lu Yao invested in the company with her technology, and the profits were split 50-50 thereafter. She also had access to all of Jiang's connections and financial resources.
Lu Yao felt a sense of madness, the infinite persistence and enthusiasm of human beings in exploring the unknown.
Isn't it just about looking far and wide to learn new things and then searching for new things
Lu Yao readily signed the contract with Jiang.
Just by making paper, Old Master Jiang seemed to have found the joy of his life. As soon as the contract was signed, he immediately stood up and said that he would go out of the city to start building a new paper mill.
Without Lu Yao's message, we didn't dare to start the construction.
Old Master Jiang, Jiang Cheng and the chief steward left first, but Jiang Yudie did not get up.
When Lu Yao was the only one left in the room, Jiang Yudie spoke up: "Lu Yao, let me ask you. If... if a woman wants to take power in the world,
What do you think
Lu Yao folded his hands, his expression calm: "Why not?"
Jiang Yudie's eyes trembled slightly, and she let out a long breath. Her voice was very low, but her words were very heavy: "That's it? So reckless?"
Lu Yao spread his hands: "Then what do you want to hear? Is this not allowed? Is this treasonous?"
Jiang Yudie was stumped by the question.
Lu Yao stood up and said, "There is nothing new under the sun. If you encounter something that you really can't figure out, you might as well find some books to read. Maybe you can find the answers you want. Sorry, I still have some things to deal with."
Jiang Yudie blushed slightly, feeling that she was being mocked for not reading enough.
Lu Yao saw that her face was not right, and sat down again: "For the matter you mentioned, there is actually a big difference between 'thinking' and 'doing'. If you just ask for my opinion, I think she has chosen a very difficult path. But whether it is 'thinking' or having 'done', she is very good."
When answering Jiang Yudie, Lu Yao had already guessed who she was talking about.
Jiang Yudie did not ask any more questions and remained silent.
Lu Yao asked Die Qi to watch and there was no need to urge her.
When she wants to leave, she will leave.
-
Lu Yao checked the equipment he would need to enter the palace, burned all of them with magic circles to prevent loss, and then returned to the shopping street.
She first went to a snack bar and met with professionals from the park's technical department to learn about the principles and uses of advanced illusions.
The director of the technical department explained in great detail, and Lu Yao followed his ideas and tried to use illusion.
After three times, he mastered the use of high-level illusions.
Director of the Technical Department: "... I heard from the Chief of Guards that you are not dead."
Lu Yao nodded: "I don't understand either, but it doesn't seem that difficult. But I have learned illusions before, and I also know some simple magic, so I can apply what I have learned to other situations?"
The director of the technical department still felt that it shouldn't be so easy. After all, he was a living being. It was strange that he could use illusions. It didn't make sense that he could even learn high-level illusions.
Lu Yao didn't know how to explain it, so he touched the Demon God's finger bone and said, "Before, the Demon God gave me a piece of bone. I heard that it became half of his body. Could this be the reason?"
The director of the technical department was surprised, "So that's how it is."
This does seem to make sense.
After understanding the principles of advanced illusion, Lu Yao's thinking became clearer. He discussed with the technical director and quickly determined the prototype plan.
Meng Qin from the snack bar is also an expert at pinching machines. Lu Yao handed over the daily handover matters with the technical department to him, and then went to the Maorongrong shop to contact the 1041 team.
Lu Yao had just finished communicating with the 1041 team about the latest developments in the "Z series technology" when Jiuhua came up to him.
Jiuhua pushed a stack of manuscripts in front of Lu Yao and said, "The first phase of the outline is finished. Take a look and tell me if there are any changes that need to be made."
I have to say that Teacher Jiu’s professionalism is also incredible.
In just a few days, I had finished writing one-third of the entire outline.
When Lu Yao was working on the script, Jiuhua was beside him, and the two of them discussed and revised it.
I worked overtime for nearly two hours until the store closed in the afternoon, and revised it twice before I was finally satisfied.
After coming out of the furry shop, Lu Yao handed a copy of the original manuscript to the film department of the park.
Once the script is handed to the right director, Lu Yao will come over and have a detailed discussion with the director.
After dealing with the two major issues of the script and holographic technology, Lu Yao breathed a sigh of relief. He planned to take a stroll along the shopping street to get some fresh air, and then go back to the nail salon to rest.
Passing by the post-production office, Lu Yao found that some people had not left yet, so he knocked on the door and asked, "Liu Tang, why haven't you left work yet?"
Liu Tang stood up immediately and said, "Boss, I'm waiting for you."
Lu Yao was puzzled: "Wait for me? What's the matter?"
Don't you want to resign
Liu Tang pinched the hem of his shirt with both hands, made up his mind, and said loudly: "Boss, I have seen you before, in the game."
Lu Yao looked Liu Tang up and down, not impressed at all: "What game? I don't play games very often, did you recognize the wrong person?"
Liu Tang: "Paradise. I also
I didn’t expect to meet you again.”
Lu Yao scratched his head, feeling a little unlucky lately.
Qi Chen was first discovered by Fu Chi, which then recruited the park players into the shopping street.
The system watched the show: [What should I do? ]
Lu Yao didn't say anything, and Liu Tang continued to talk to himself: "It's you. I just want to thank you. If it wasn't for you that day, I'm afraid I would not be here anymore, let alone come to work here."
"Thank you, Lu Yao." Liu Tang said calmly, but his heartbeat was totally out of control, "boom boom boom" like a drum beating.
Lu Yao frowned and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I don't remember you. You must have recognized the wrong person. It's getting late and it's hard to get a taxi here. Let's go back early."
She really had no impression.
Liu Tang was certain that Lu Yao was the female player he met when he entered the park for the third time.
He understood Lu Yao's attitude. She might not have noticed him at that time, but she just wanted to say it out loud. He finally felt relieved after saying it out.
Liu Tang finished speaking his mind, put on his bag and prepared to leave, "Boss, I'm going back now."
Lu Yao looked at Liu Tang's departing back and shook his head.
Players are just players. With that kind of experience, their acceptance should be stronger than that of ordinary people. Their working ability is also good. They are also bound by a confidentiality agreement, so there should be no problem.
This matter can be discussed with the park. The NPCs actually like to hear about the players' interesting stories.
-
The next day, at the cinema.
"The Inspector General of Daliang" premiered as scheduled. It is an ancient suspense, mystery and case-solving theme that is down-to-earth and interesting. Many people lined up to buy tickets to watch it.
However, after the premiere, most of the guests came out with angry faces, or frowned and shook their heads repeatedly.
"Who is the murderer? Why don't they broadcast the case all at once? How am I going to get through the next five days?"
"Yes, yes. The case was about to be solved, but suddenly it was gone. We have to wait until the next show to see the real culprit. It's so frustrating."
Lu Yao stood in the aisle, listening to the customers' complaints and smiling like a profiteer.
Fu Chi passed by and couldn't help shaking his head: "Vulgar taste."
"Daliang Chief Justice" has a total of thirty-six episodes, covering more than ten cases of varying sizes.
Lu Yao asked the post-production team to break up and re-edit the film, striving to make each scene end at the critical point where the case was about to be closed. The next scene would solve the case of the previous scene, catch the murderer, and then continue to lay the groundwork for the next case, and so on.
Lu Yao said nonchalantly: "What's the big deal? These five days are for the audience to analyze clues, discuss details, and infer the murderer like playing a guessing game. The next game is to come up with an answer. Don't you think it's very interesting?"
Fu Chi thought about it for a moment and had to admit that it was indeed quite interesting.
Some of the shop owner's ideas may seem silly at first glance, but they always make sense if you think about them carefully.
At this time, another customer passed by complaining.
"I've never been so tormented before. I can't figure out who the murderer is. I can't sleep tonight!"
"Actually, I have an idea. The murderer might be..."
"You're not right. That man was drinking in the tavern at the time. The proprietress and the waiter can testify. I think the murderer must be..."

[Successfully released three new films and observed three positive feedbacks influenced by the films. Mission accomplished! Reward: 300,000 popularity points and +2 3D screening rooms! ]
[Lu Yao's Super Space-Time Cinema is extremely popular and well-loved by the people. It has been upgraded to a five-star cinema. Reward popularity points of 500,000 points and special props Space-Time Key +1. Please keep working hard, store owner! ]
Lu Yao patrolled the screening area and just as he returned to the lounge, he received a system prompt.
The increase in 3D cinemas and the upgrading of store star ratings are all happy things, but what is the Key to Time and Space
System: [To put it simply, it is a tool that can travel through time and space. ]
Lu Yao opened his portable warehouse and found the key to time and space already lying in the grid.
This prop has a very cartoon feel, with the shape of a key outlined by many silver lines. The lines are crooked and irregular, and there are some dots of different sizes on each line.
Can travel through time and space
Disposable props, it turns out there are such interesting rewards.
Lu Yao played with the Key of Time and Space for a long time, but didn't hear any follow-up prompts, so he couldn't help but ask: "No new tasks yet?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a reminder sounded: [The ultimate mission has been started. The emperor of the Dawu Dynasty seems to be deeply troubled by something. He has no appetite and can't sleep at night. Please use the main products sold in this store to help the emperor relieve his worries. The result of the mission will determine whether you can continue to the next world. Please try your best to complete the mission! ]
Lu Yao pondered this ultimate mission, "No time limit?"
System: [Yes.]
Lu Yao: "The mission is to solve the emperor's troubles with a movie?"
System: [Probably.]
Lu Yao: "What are the uses of the tools just distributed?"
System: [The store owner decides when to use the item, and the system will determine whether it is used properly.]
Lu Yao: "What are the rules for determining the results of the mission?"
System: [The emperor's satisfaction is an important reference indicator.]
Lu Yao couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "High, really high!"
The system pretended not to understand the shopkeeper's sarcastic words: [Aren't you going to enter the palace? I wish you good luck. ]
It was indeed getting late, so Lu Yao quickly calmed himself down and prepared to go out.
Harold and Ye Xiao were also ready, waiting at the door with the carriage.
This trip to the palace had an additional important mission - to find out the emperor's thoughts.
