"I don't think this will work."
"what?"
Charlotte was a little stunned.
"Then, what does Lady Ningguang mean?"
Ningguang looked at her and sighed helplessly.
"Charlotte, do you know why I brought you to visit Mr. Charlotte today?"
"Could you...introduce me to Mr. Xia?"
"and then?"
"?"
"You've been wandering around Liyue City all day, haven't you heard any rumors about Mr. Xia and me?"
"Huh? Well, yes, I heard them say... cough cough, no, I know it's all fake!"
Whether it's true or not isn't important; what's important is that I think this kind of rumor is perfect for the newspaper.
"what?"
"You need to write it so that everyone who reads it thinks these rumors are false. You're a professional journalist, you should know how to write it, right?"
"Oh I see!"
"Ah, very good."
Ningguang watched Charlotte's departing figure, then lowered her head and continued with her official duties.
Gaining both wealth and beauty...
Given Mr. Xia's personality, he still has to take the initiative himself.
Besides, as one of the Liyue Seven Stars, it's perfectly reasonable for me to create some scandals for myself, right?

the next morning.
"Good morning, boss!"
"morning."
"We brought back newspapers!"
"The newspaper."
"Yes, yes! It's free! Qianyan Jun is standing at the intersection, holding a big stack of newspapers, handing them out to everyone he sees!"
"Is it."
"They said that you can get a free newspaper for the next week!"
"Miss Ningguang is quite generous. What did the newspaper say today?"
"Boss, let me read it to you!"
Zhu Zi stood to the side, holding a newspaper and reading it aloud.
She was Inazuma, and her Liyue language wasn't very standard, but her voice was very clear and her tone was full of youthful energy. Xia Zhi found it quite interesting to listen to her pronounce each word.
The news published on the main page of the newspaper, such as the restructuring of the Seven Stars General Secretariat and the addition of a secretariat, or the lifting of Inazuma's isolation order and Liyue's commencement of normal diplomatic activities with Inazuma next year, might only be known to ordinary people when they see the newspaper. However, for everyone in the shop, this news is not new. After all, Miss Ningguang and Miss Ganyu often come to the shop to play, and they have already learned about it from them in their daily chats.
"Zhu Zi, just read the title."
"Oh!... 'Tianquan Becomes a Frequent Visitor! Juice Shop Turns into Scandal Center, Could Love Be Blossoming?'"
"Ok?"
Xia Zhi was stunned for a moment.
"Wait, read this carefully."
"it is good!"
After listening to Zhu Zi read it, Xia Zhi shook his head with a smile.
Oh, it was just clickbait.
The whole thing didn't offer much relevant information; it felt more like an advertisement for a small summer shop.
Charlotte really knows the secrets of online traffic.
However, it's quite something that Miss Ningguang would risk her pure and aloof image just to promote the newspaper and boost its popularity...
"Okay, put the groceries in the kitchen, I'm going to make breakfast."
"Ok!"
Zhu Zi put the newspaper on the table.
After a while, Xia Ci got up and went downstairs.
She saw the newspaper on the table, walked over, picked it up, and looked at it.
"Oh? A rumor about Ningguang and her cousin? Did they deliberately create it... Interesting."
Xia Ci looked at the newspaper, a meaningful look flashing in her eyes.
Because of the newspaper, there were many more customers in the store today than yesterday, and a long queue formed at the door.
Everyone wanted to see just how divine the juice that Ningguang was so enamored with tasted.
That evening, Ningguang came to the store as usual.
Xia Zhi massaged her as usual.
Neither of them mentioned the rumors about them in the newspapers.
They seemed not to care at all.
The night passed.
In the morning, Zhu Zi and Diona went out to buy groceries and brought back new newspapers.
This time, the entertainment section is filled with sensational gossip headlines:
"Tian Quan spotted at a juice shop late at night; photos of the scene unexpectedly leaked!"
There was actually a photo above, showing Ningguang holding a glass and sipping her juice with a blissful expression.
The lighting was slightly dim, and the angle was just right, capturing the half-pursed lips beautifully.
Upon closer inspection, the entire article was an advertisement promoting how lipsticks and lip balms care for and moisturize women's lips.
Oh, it's a lipstick ad.
Charlotte is really something.
In the days that followed, the entertainment section of the newspapers relentlessly hyped up the rumors between Ningguang and the owner of the Summer Shop. Although the headlines were always suggestive, the content was quite serious.
A week later, the newspapers stopped being given away for free, and they also stopped reporting on Ningguang's scandal, turning their attention to interesting stories from Xiao City.
However, many customers still come to the small shop every day to check it out in the summer.
Xia Zhi didn't care about this.
His relationship with Ms. Ningguang was not affected by this, and remained as innocent as before.
The homework that I assigned to Ying'er and Qiqi has already been completed.
Xia Zhi took it and checked it.
The prescription that Qiqi came up with has mild medicinal properties and a good moisturizing effect on the skin.
The perfume balm that Ying'er made was snow-white and smooth, and the fragrance was also quite nice.
Xia Zhi nodded and praised, "You did a good job."
The two girls were pleased to receive the approval.
"However, there is a small problem: the price of raw materials is a bit high..."
After all, this thing was originally intended for poor people who had to work in the dead of winter.
Even if the effect is very good, if the price is too high, they will most likely be unwilling to buy it.
"Let's call this the premium version. I'll improve it a bit and make a standard version."
"Ok!"
When Ningguang came over that evening, Xia Zhi took this out to show her.
"This is hand cream made by Ying'er and Qiqi. Miss Ningguang, would you be interested in collaborating with us?"
"This is good stuff, of course I'm interested."
"Is it the same as before?"
"Ah."
"The recipe is here, and I have written out the production steps in detail. Please note that this is the general version, which uses several poisons. Please be careful during the production process."
