This son-in-law is wicked in a good way!

"Then I'll take the second set."

The empress settled for second best.

Zhang Ping'an continued to shake his head: "I'm sorry, Brother Chu, these have all been chosen."

The Empress frowned, somewhat displeased: "Who made the choice?"

"Lord Dian," Zhang Ping'an answered truthfully, hoping that Brother Chu would back down.

Although he is the heir apparent of a prince, he still has to think twice before facing the Duke.

Chu Tian suddenly gave a strange smile: "Alright, then just pick any set for me, I'll ask the Palace Master to change it later."

"This might be a bit difficult. Although Brother Chu is of noble status, the Palace Master might not be willing to listen to you," Zhang Ping'an reminded him, hoping that his Brother Chu wouldn't overestimate himself and end up in an awkward situation.

"Don't worry, I'm confident." The Empress sneered inwardly. Guo Sanbao dared to disobey her? He's gone too far!

Zhang Ping'an picked out a set for the Empress: "This is the room number plate. Be sure to keep it safe. It's your pass to enter the community."

The Empress looked at Zhang Ping'an, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping herself.

"Is there anything else, Brother Chu?" Zhang Ping'an noticed and took the initiative to speak.

"Young Master Zhang, with so many houses, it might be difficult to buy them. If you need my help, please don't hesitate to ask."

The Empress felt that although Zhang Ping'an's promotional leaflets were indeed much better written than the ministers' memorials, there probably wouldn't be many people buying a house that cost 20,000 taels of silver.

"Haha, so that's what Brother Chu was worried about." Zhang Ping'an laughed.

"Brother Chu, rest assured, within seven days at most, not a single house here will be left."

"Brother Chu, just hold onto that house you have. If you want to sell it for a profit later, you'd better ask me first."

"Are you that confident?" The Empress looked at Zhang Ping'an with suspicion.

Zhang Ping'an straightened his chest, clasped his hands in a gesture of farewell, and said, "Brother Chu, please take care. I won't see you off."

"Alright, I'll be waiting for your good news." The Empress turned and left.

After they had walked a little further away, Mo Yu caught up with them, frowning, and said, "Young Master, you bought that set on purpose to help Zhang Ping'an, didn't you?"

The Empress shook her head: "No, I have truly fallen in love with this house."

"If you get tired of staying in the palace, it's nice to come here to relax."

"Remember to send Zhang Ping'an 20,000 taels of silver when you get back."

"Yes."

Mo Yu pouted, not believing the Empress's words at all.

After the Empress left, Zhang Ping'an was no longer in a hurry to leave.

He never expected that his publicity efforts in this world would be so effective!

"It seems I'll be staying here for the next few days."

I believe that soon someone will come to see the house on their own initiative, just like Chu Tian did.

"No, we need to train some sales consultants. I'll be overwhelmed if I do it all myself!"

"Ning Chen, come here!"

Zhang Ping'an shouted.

"My lord, what are your orders?" Ning Chen immediately jogged over and stood in front of Zhang Ping'an, bowing respectfully.

"Go find ten women who are quick-witted, eloquent, and reasonably good-looking."

Ning Chen's expression changed: "My lord, you...you wouldn't be thinking of..."

Boom!

Zhang Ping'an flicked him on the forehead.

"What are you thinking? I'm teaching them sales techniques and having them show guests around the house. I can't stay here forever, can I?"

"Oh, oh, I misunderstood you, sir. I deserve to die!" Ning Chen breathed a long sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Zhang Ping'an would turn bad.

Soon, Ning Chen found ten young women.

According to Ning Chen, these women were all from respectable families and had received professional training in reading, writing, and etiquette.

If our entire fortune hadn't been washed away by the flood, we wouldn't be in this state today.

"This is our great benefactor, Lord Zhang!" Ning Chen introduced to the ten women.

"This humble servant greets Your Excellency!"

The ten women bowed to Zhang Ping'an in a standard female manner.

Their movements were synchronized and uniform; although they hadn't been trained, it was as if they had rehearsed.

"very good!"

"Next, I will train you for an hour. After that, you will be responsible for leading customers who come to buy the house to visit the house and explaining it to them."

"For every house you sell, you will receive a commission of one tael of silver."

It's not that Zhang Ping'an is stingy; after all, they used to only earn ten coins a day working.

Giving them too much might not be a good thing.

"Thank you, sir!"

Even so, the ten women were overjoyed.

In the past, they might have looked down on a tael or two of silver, but now they are no different from those disaster victims.

As expected of someone who has received an education, he is quick-witted and articulate.

Zhang Ping'an only taught them for half an hour, and they had already grasped the essentials.

At that moment, a horse-drawn carriage stopped at the entrance of the residential area.

The gatekeeper quickly stepped forward to help park the carriage and led a slightly overweight middle-aged businessman into the community gate.

Zhang Ping'an pointed at the woman named Zhang Yan: "This person is probably here to buy the house. I'll leave it to you."

"Yes, sir!"

Zhang Yan immediately smiled and greeted him warmly but not vulgarly.

"Sir, are you here to buy the house?"

The wealthy businessman nodded, looking around with curiosity; everything here was new and exciting to him.

"This house... is very interesting."

"Master, shall I explain it to you?" Zhang Yan offered.

Then, without waiting for the wealthy businessman's reply, she immediately began to introduce the community's amenities, seizing the initiative.

Although it wasn't as smooth as Zhang Ping'an's introduction, it's only a matter of time. I believe that after receiving a few guests, I'll quickly become familiar with it.

Zhang Ping'an nodded, indicating that he could now be a hands-off manager.

Ultimately, the wealthy businessman successfully bought one.

Zhang Ping'an kept his word and immediately gave Zhang Yan a commission of one tael of silver.

The others who saw it couldn't hide their envy.

Zhang Ping'an summoned Ning Chen and instructed him to continue posting flyers everywhere, especially in front of high-end restaurants and brothels.

Those who can afford to spend money in those places are basically either rich or powerful; these are Zhang Ping'an's target customers.

After making the arrangements, Zhang Ping'an returned to the yamen.

"Ping An, you're back!" Old Wang greeted him with a big smile and walked over.

"How's the sale of the house going?" Old Wang asked with concern.

"We just started promoting it today, and we should see initial results tomorrow," Zhang Ping'an said.

"How about we celebrate a little in advance at the Music Bureau later?"

"Okay, call Lao Zhou."

Going to the Jiaofangsi (a government-run entertainment venue) is a good opportunity to inquire about the effectiveness of the publicity campaign and see how people react.

After their shift ended, Zhang Ping'an, Wang Qisheng, and Zhou Weidong changed into civilian clothes and headed to the Jiaofangsi (a government-run entertainment venue).

Just as they reached the door, a child of about twelve or thirteen years old suddenly blocked their way.

"Gentlemen, move to Wenhua Garden and begin a life of unparalleled privilege, enjoying a life like that of immortals... Would you like to take a look?"

Wang Qisheng and Zhou Weidong immediately looked at him with strange smiles.

Zhang Ping'an looked embarrassed; he was the one who wrote the slogan.

Zhang Ping'an casually took the flyer, thinking he couldn't let the kid call him "Grandpa" for nothing.

"Haha, Ping An, does living in Wenhua Garden really make you superior?" Old Wang joked.

Zhang Ping'an wasn't embarrassed at all; he had already come up with the slogan for the next promotion.

Wenhua Garden, giving you a five-star home.

When people use GG language, you start to believe it even if you don't want to, just like a brainwashing song.
