The Herb King

After introducing the last product to them, Aethelwolf scanned the faces of the ladies. They were world-class beauties. If they were present in his past life, they would have been treated as beauty queens.

"Do you guys have any questions?" Aethelwolf asked with a smile.

No one raised any questions. Everything was explained in detail and the two madams also demonstrated how to use the products.

"Since no one has any questions, let's move on to the next agenda…" Aethelwolf gave them more details about their salaries, uniforms, and other things related to their job.

The meeting continued for a few more hours.

After the meeting, Yulia stepped out of the Golden Lake Manor together with the other ladies. She was very excited and she could barely hide the joy in her face. She came from an ordinary family so she didn't expect a high-paying job. Who would have thought that a huge opportunity was actually waiting for her here?

When Yulia returned to her home, she eagerly told her parents about her new job. At first, her parents were doubtful, but when she showed them the contracts she signed with Aethelwolf, they finally believed her words.

Aethelwolf spent the next days training the newly hired employees. All of them were talented young ladies so they quickly learned the ropes.

"You guys are ready now." Aethelwolf smiled at them. He was satisfied with their progress. There was even one young lady who stood out among the rest. She was also the youngest, but she has displayed the best performance in the past few days.

Everyone was excited to hear this.

"This time, I will announce the top performance during your training and as the top performer, she will be promoted to junior manager." Aethelwolf scanned their faces, and his gaze momentarily stopped at Yulia who was seated on the last row. The girl was still shy, but her self-esteem had grown because of their training.

Aethelwolf didn't conceal his gaze so everyone noticed that he was looking at Yulia.

"Yulia! You stood out among your peers and you displayed outstanding talent in your work. I now announce that you will be promoted to Junior Manager." Aethelwolf smiled while looking at her.

Yulia was in disbelief when she heard her name being called. "Me? Junior Manager?"

Clap! Clap! Clap!

The ladies clapped their hands and congratulated her. They had seen this young girl's excellent performance and they also felt that she was the most qualified to become the first Junior Manager among them.

"Congratulations, Yulia!"

"Congrats!"

Yulia's face blossomed into a smile when she heard everyone's congratulatory words. She immediately stood up and thanked everyone. "Thank you, everyone!"

Aethelwolf smiled and gestured for her to sit down. "Our beauty shop has already been renovated and our business will begin tomorrow. Make sure that you won't be late for work."

"Yes, Lord Aethelwolf!"

The next day, Aethelwolf's beauty shop celebrated its grand opening. He was new to the city so he didn't invite a lot of people. He only sent an invitation to the Suliman Family. The mayor was busy, but he still sent Tyrone and his children to join the event. Dozens of guards from the Suliman Family kept a lookout. The recent assassination attempt on the heirs of the Suliman Family made them more cautious.

Although Aethelwolf wanted to remain lowkey, the presence of the Suliman Family's heirs made many people curious about his shop. This resulted in a sudden influx of people. There were even some members of the noble families who came to observe the situation.

"Thank you for coming here, everyone!" Aethelwolf ended his speech. Next was the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

This ceremony was new to everyone and the unique ceremony made the people more curious about the shop.

Finally, the shop welcomed the customers.

Aethelwolf stared at the large crowd who were lining up to enter his shop. He already knew that most of them were only here to watch and see so didn't have high expectations on their first day of opening.

"Congratulations, Sir Aethelwolf!" Tyrone and the members of the Suliman Family congratulated him for the opening of his shop. Aethelwolf thanked them and he also personally escorted them inside the shop.

Yulia and the other sales ladies welcomed the customers with their professional smiles.

"Welcome to Ethereal Beauty! Our shop has five unique products that can…" As the Junior Manager of the shop, Yulia was responsible for making the introduction about their products.

When the crowd heard that their products were related to beauty enhancement, more than 90% of the men lost their interest and left. Meanwhile, the women chose to stay and observe the products.

"This is our soap…" Yulia showed them a jade box and opened it, revealing a red ovoid-shaped item that emitted a fragrant scent that reminded everyone of the freshly bloomed flowers. The scent was a mixture of more than five different fragrances blended together which created a uniquely beautiful scent.

"Wow! This is more fragrant than my flower bath!"

"What a beautiful scent!"

The ladies revealed a look of excitement when they smelled the fragrance of the soap. The ones they were using were like garbage compared to this product!

The men who chose to remain were also stunned by the fragrance of the soap. They were already imagining the faces of their wives as soon as they started using this product.

"Our soap is created using top tier ingredients and they would last for a month even if you use it daily…"

Everyone wasn't surprised when they saw the high price tag. The product was miles ahead compared to other similar products. Although it was a bit pricey, many people still showed interest in buying it.

"I want to buy one!"

"Can I have ten boxes of this product?"

Yulia didn't expect this to happen. She thought that everyone would be deterred by the high price of the soap. After all, one box was worth 5000 Orbes! That was already worth half a month of her father's salary.
