Ya Fei stared at Hun Han. At this moment, she was still just a young girl, a beautiful maiden just entering society. Seeing Hun Han so fierce, forcing her like this, her eyes became misty.

"Don't look at me with that expression. I told you, the business world is like a battlefield, there's no room for mercy. If you can't even take this step, you should leave as soon as possible. You can't make a living in business!" Hun Han looked at the charming Ya Fei, his tone still icy.

Ya Fei sat there, her nose stinging, and sniffled hard a few times.

Silence. A deathly silence filled the room.

Hun Han sat down on a chair, saying nothing more, just gazing at Ya Fei. He believed that the Ya Fei who would later sit in the auction hall, playing with the young masters, would be able to take this crucial step.

As expected, Ya Fei took a moment to compose herself, finally standing up from the chair. She looked very awkward, as if stepping on an ant, and walked a few slow steps.

Initially, Ya Fei's movements were very stiff. After walking a few steps, Ya Fei suddenly realized that with two slits in her skirt, walking became much smoother. The exposed skin did not detract from her elegance; instead, it added a unique, graceful beauty.

"Hmm, not bad."

Hun Han nodded in praise. "You're a natural beauty. Since you're beautiful, you should show off your external beauty. This dress can be altered too; let's switch to a tighter one that fully showcases your curves."

"Make the dress tighter!"

Ya Fei fell into thought, picturing an image in her mind, and exclaimed in surprise, "Then... then won't... won't even those things be visible at a glance?"

Hun Han asked, confused, "What things?"

Ya Fei's face turned red. "Those things!"

Hun Han: "What things?"

Ya Fei: "Just those things!"

Hun Han: "Are you talking about those things that women have and men don't?"

Ya Fei lowered her eyes and nodded slightly. At this moment, her long eyelashes fluttered like a budding rose, exuding a charming and alluring grace.

Hun Han chuckled, "Tch. What's the big deal? Are you saying that if you hide them tightly, we men won't know?"

Ya Fei: "..."

Faced with Hun Han's words, Ya Fei was speechless. What Hun Han said was, after all, the truth.

Hun Han continued, "Besides, it's not like you're not wearing any clothes. Who's going to say anything? Ya Fei, you need to remember that only a merchant who can sell themselves can be called an excellent merchant."

Sell themselves!

Ya Fei understood. It turned out that Hun Han's seemingly disrespectful words earlier were actually teaching her how to sell herself.

Ya Fei's feelings towards Hun Han immediately became much warmer.

"Master, does the style of clothing have a name? If not, please bestow one upon it, Master!" Ya Fei understood instantly. As a woman, she had an intuition that such clothing would sell very well once it hit the market.

"Let's call it a qipao. Come, Ya Fei, shake hands with Master!" Hun Han instructed.

"Ah?" Ya Fei looked at Hun Han in surprise.

"What 'ah', shake hands with Master!" Hun Han instructed again.

Ya Fei was, in a way, a character from the original storyline. From Gu Xun'er, Hun Han had obtained a growth-type Fighting Skill through a sign-in. Now, if he signed in with Ya Fei, what would he get?

Hun Han was incredibly excited about this.

"Is... is this also a lesson?" Ya Fei asked curiously.

"No. It's just a request from Master." Hun Han extended his hand, shaking his head slightly.

Ya Fei hesitated. As an orphan, Ya Fei had always maintained her purity and had never shaken hands with a man before!

Thinking that the man before her was just a six-year-old boy, Ya Fei felt at ease. She extended her delicate hand and shook his.

"Ding dong!"

"Congratulations, you have signed in on Ya Fei and obtained the item: Encyclopedia of Business."

Encyclopedia of Business: Contains one hundred rare business books from ancient and modern times, both Chinese and foreign, including Ji Ran Pian, Tao Zhu Gong's Business Acumen, Lu Shi Ben Cao Jing, Hu Xueyan, Psychology, Sales and Marketing, Who Moved My Cheese, and more.

"My heavens, signing in on Ya Fei actually got me these treasures!" Hun Han marveled inwardly.

For a merchant, the Encyclopedia of Business was a priceless treasure. However, Hun Han had no interest in business.

Hun Han released Ya Fei's hand and asked, "What did you perceive from Master just now?"

Ya Fei looked at Hun Han in surprise, a confused expression on her face.

Hun Han raised an eyebrow slightly and said, "What, you didn't sense anything?"

Ya Fei was taken aback. "Master, wasn't that just a simple handshake?"

Hun Han shook his head and said, "Even though it was just a simple handshake, you should have grasped some subtle information from the other person."

Ya Fei looked at Hun Han in surprise and retorted, "Then what about you, Master? What did you perceive from me?"

Hun Han replied, "I perceived several pieces of information from you. You like to bathe in rose water, as there's a faint scent of roses on you. You usually cook for yourself, as there's a smell of cooking oil on your hair. Furthermore, your period is coming, isn't it! Drink more hot water during this time, and absolutely do not take cold showers."

Her period?

As a woman, besides the monthly "that time of the month," what other "good things" could there be?

Hearing this, Ya Fei blushed intensely and asked in surprise, "You knew all this just from a handshake?"

Hun Han nodded. "Of course. These minor details can reveal a person's lifestyle habits. If utilized properly, they can even be turned into business opportunities."

Ya Fei nodded and said, "Thank you, Master, for your guidance. Ya Fei has taken note."

Hun Han waved his hand, gifting all the encyclopedias he obtained from the sign-in to Ya Fei. "You are still young. Read these books whenever you have time. They will be helpful to you."

Ya Fei picked up a few books and flipped through them. She said happily, "Thank you, Master!"

After a pause, she realized these books were enough for her to read for several years. Ya Fei pondered for a moment and asked, "Master, are you planning to leave here?"

"Mm."

Hun Han nodded and chuckled slyly, "Alright, Ya Fei, it's getting late. Guess what your Master is thinking right now?"

Ya Fei mused, then gave a wry smile. "Master, you don't mean you want Ya Fei to stay with you tonight, do you?"

Hun Han nodded. "Correct. You're finally smart for once."

Ya Fei also smiled, mockingly saying, "Master, I can't tell. You're small, but your thoughts are quite wicked."

Hun Han pouted and corrected her, "I'm not small, where am I small? Also, don't get the wrong idea. I'm only a six-year-old child right now, an age where I need motherly love. I just want you to help me warm the bed and hold me while I sleep."

"Get lost!"

Ya Fei rolled her eyes at Hun Han and refused without a second thought.

Hun Han smiled, not feeling awkward at all. He then said, "Alright, it's late. Since you're unwilling to sleep with your Master, go back by yourself! And settle the room fee on your way out! I'll come see you again if I have time!"

"Yes, Master."

Ya Fei bowed respectfully to Hun Han. After a pause, she thought of what happened during the day and said, "Master, can you give me back the money from earlier? You are my Master now, you can't cheat your disciple out of money, can you?"

Hun Han shook his head and refused, "No. This is also a lesson for you. You need to learn from this. When you're out in the world, if your intelligence isn't enough, you have to pay tuition!"
