Chapter 930: Time to open an Aquarium

Yu Qun smiled with a look of heartbreak on his face. He wanted to say that there was a mistake but the truth was that there was no mistake at all!

The reason he came so late was because he stayed up late all night with his workers in the publishing house trying to find any sort of mistake in the calculation of the profits but no matter how many times he calculated it, the truth was that there was no mistake at all.

It was both depressing and exciting for Yu Qun. It was depressing for him because he did not get more than three thousand taels despite doing most of the work and it was slightly exciting for him as he knew that as long as he maintained a cooperating relationship with Su Wan, sooner or later he and his publishing house would get better and better.

He rubbed his hands at the thought of drowning in money!

" There is no mistake, Master Yan. We have calculated this money very carefully, every tael is according to the profit that was made by the ma.n.u.script that Madam Su handed," after he finished speaking Yu Qun stopped paying attention to Lin Yan who looked a bit confused even after listening to Yu Qun"s response.

Yu Qun turned his attention to Su Wan and asked, " Madam Su, can… can we change the contract?

Su Wan flipped the pages of the book in her hands and then replied calmly, " Once a contract is signed how can it be changed so willfully?"

Her response was something that Yu Qun had expected from the start, his eyes dimmed as he lowered his head. He knew this was going to happen but if he had known that those ladies in the backyard of the officials would love the story written by Su Wan so much then he would have never agreed to sign that unjust contract!

" But——" Before Yu Qun could delve further into the abyss of his self-pity, Su Wan spoke up causing him to raise his head and look at her in surprise. A sudden flicker of hope ignited in his heart as he thought that Su Wan was going to give him another chance.

" But I can give you another chance," Su Wan raised her head from the pages of the account book that she had finished reading as she looked at the man in front of her whose eyes were shimmering with delight. " However in exchange, you need to do something in return for me."

At this point even if Su Wan asked him to hand over half of the authority of his publishing house, Yu Qun would have agreed with her. He did not even hear what Su Wan wanted to tell him and agreed with a nod, " You can tell me anything, County Magistrate Su. I am willing to listen to any request of yours."

" Is that so, then it"s excellent," Su Wan beamed at him when she heard his words. "Then I think that promoting my aquarium for free won"t be too much of a loss for you?"

" AH?" Yu Qun was stunned when he heard Su Wan"s request. He looked at Su Wan with confusion in his eyes and then asked with slight hesitation, " A…Aqua… Aquarium? What in the world is that?"

He never heard such a word before. For the first time in his life even though Yu Qun knew a lot of things as the head of a publishing house felt like he was an idiot.

Su Wan"s smile widened as she tilted her head to the side and then stated, " What if… I say that it"s a place where they can see the mermaids?"

When Yu Qun heard Su Wan"s response he was stunned. A place where they could see the mermaids? Weren"t they a thing of imagination? Something that Su Wan came up with?

" Ho..How is that possible?" Yu Qun stammered not understanding what Su Wan was trying to tell him.

" Just like how plays and characters come to life in a theatre, the mermaids will come to life in the aquarium. You just need to publish the advertis.e.m.e.nt that whoever wants to see the mermaids coming alive can come to the Ya Yan aquarium and nothing else."

Su Wan knew when to strike the iron. Right now, the stories that she had written had created a sort of "novelty" in the eyes of the people of this era. If she was to open the aquarium at this time then surely the aquarium"s business would get better and better. And the better the business of the aquarium the more her earnings from the snack street would be.

And since the snack street was about to be opened, it was time for her aquarium to be opened as well.

In the capital.

After a month of travel, Chi Jia finally arrived at the capital. If he had come alone then he would have arrived at the imperial city in ten days but he had to bring a bunch of things for Eunuch Xi and the Emperor and the rest of the imperial family.

Fortunately, he had cards in his hands and he could play with his colleagues which was why he did not get bored, if not then Chi Jia was certain that he would have been bored to death.

He went to the imperial city and then looked for his father.

When his father saw Chi Jia arrive, he raised his brows and questioned, " Jia, what are you doing here? Did you not leave the capital to guard the third Prince?"

His son was really good and he also took his responsibility really sincerely thus Father Chi was quite surprised when he saw his son coming back to the Capital without Fei Qinfan.

" Little He is with him, his Highness will be fine," Chi Jia replied as he took out the set of cards that he had brought for his father and handed it to him, " This is something that I brought from the Big Ocean City, this is really fun to play with you will love it."
