《Unbridled Medical Expert Consort: Demon Prince, Be Good》Chapter 23 B: There Are Many Problems With This Courtesan House of Yours

Watching Nalan Ye for a bit, Nangong Yu forced a laugh and shook his head. "Worthy Little Brother Luo, don't take offense. Ziqing's personality is just like this, he doesn't mean any harm. Although I don't believe that there's any problem with Heavenly Dream Tower at all, there's nothing wrong with hearing what you have to say. Maybe I can receive a bit of enlightenment from within?"
One sentence and it's possible to more or less know the other person's nature. Luo Qing Luan smiled.
Although this Mr. Yu is full of smiles, it's clear that he did not take her words seriously. Of course, if she was in his position it'd be normal for her to react the same. No one would believe someone they had just met for no reason. If she did not present some definitive evidence, the other person would really take her for an ignorant and incompetent spoiled rich kid.
Just consider it as taking into account the two thousand taels he gave her!
Luo Qing Luan stood up and walked next to a window then lightly struck the top of it. Only after she looked all around at the scene below did she reply. "Is Heavenly Dream Tower's layout and decoration all personally planned and arranged by you?"
The view below was plainly visible. A spacious and grand area just like an arena built by later generations was surrounded on all sides by a decoratively carved railing. It was raised slightly at the height of about one foot. It looked like it was probably used by the young ladies in the evenings for some dancing or some singing.
Spread in an area around the railings were tables. These were clearly for guests to sit and drink, as well as watch shows. The interior decoration was pretty good, the layout was also good. Even the tables and chairs were made of the finest pear wood. It was evident that the owner put his mind to it.

"What? Worthy Little Brother Luo, how is it not quite right?" Nangong Yu chuckled while asking, but was clearly proud of himself.
This Heavenly Dream Tower was indeed personally designed by him. Moreover, he invited the best artisans and contractors to build it precisely so that it could start off successfully with a good reputation right away. If he didn't want to do something, then he wouldn't touch it, but if he did something, then it had to be the best job!
Scanning the area, Luo Qing Luan unexpectedly sighed. "It's a pity, it's a pity, wasted so much money, yet surprisingly turned it into this. It's rather too common, too ordinary, without any bit of a new idea."
"Mr. Yu, I won't talk about anything else, solely this stage of yours already has too many problems. You really should improve it a little."
Hearing her speaking in such an exaggerated manner, Nangong Yu was somewhat displeased. It cost him one month of painstaking effort to finally come up with this design. Moreover, after it was built, it was quite welcomed by the guests. He sometimes even praised himself frequently, believing that he had some amount of natural talent for business.
He didn't expect that today, a youth younger than him actually said that it was worthless. If it weren't for the fact that his temperament was good, he probably would not have been able to endure since earlier.
"I really don't feel that there's a problem anywhere. If you believe that something is not right, will you point it out directly." Nangong Yu's tone of voice became slightly colder.
"She's spouting nonsense, yet you take it seriously?" Nalan Ye opened his mouth again while aiming a glance at him. A cold smile formed at the corners of his lips, with obvious disdain.

"No harm done. If Brother Luo is pointing it out, I might as well listen." Displaying a magnanimous appearance, Nangong Yu watched Luo Qing Luan.
She was able to discern the other's thoughts, but Luo Qing Luan didn't mind at all. "I would like to ask Mr. Yu. What makes places like these courtesan houses special. What do the guests like most about them?"
"Of course it's the beautiful ladies!"
Once Nangong Yu heard the question, he immediately replied. "My Heavenly Dream Tower's ladies came from various regions of Western Chu, including South Vietnam, and also Dongwan. Ladies with slender waists and long legs, pure and beautiful, those able to sing, able to play instruments, proficient in all areas including verse, song, poetry. Otherwise, how can we be considered the first ranked?"
He just finished speaking when Luo Qing Luan's gaze affirmed. "You're wrong!"
"What, I'm wrong? How am I wrong?" Nangong Yu absolutely didn't believe it.
"What the guests like the most......"
Luo Qing Luan looked directly at him and suddenly smiled, "is a new experience!"
New experience? Once he heard these words, Nangong Yu knit his brows, but he mumbled these words and chewed on their meaning. Suddenly, his eyebrows jumped as he slapped the table and said, "That's right, it's the new experience, new!"
"Mr. Yu has thought it through now?"
Luo Qing Luan seemed like an old hand. Her young and pretty appearance contrasted completely with the calm in her eyes, and also the confident way she expressed herself, "What a man likes the most is a novel experience! Isn't there a saying that a wife is not as good as a mistress, a mistress is not as good as a courtesan, a courtesan is not as good as stealing somebody else's? Why? Isn't it because of the new experience!"
"No matter how good the old is, after looking for a long time, it's also tiring. Admittedly, you're an outstanding beauty, but once a long time passes, you're still not as good looking as the widow next door. Why do those men leave and not love the tender wife at home and insist on visiting this courtesan house? Are the ladies at the courtesan houses really that good, better than the gentle, affectionate, considerate woman serving them at home?"
Once she finished speaking, the way Nangong Yu looked at Luo Qing Luan changed completely, and was even somewhat impatient. He immediately walked to Luo Qing Luan's side and excitedly exclaimed, "Good, good, your words suddenly cleared the murkiness in my mind. Although everybody knows these circumstances, you're truly the person who pointed it out so succinctly."
With a huge pile of ideas still in her mind, Luo Qing Luan saw Nangong Yu approve what she said and felt that she might as well give him a few pointers. "Therefore, since Mr. Yu want to truly become the number one courtesan house and have those behind you never able to chase you, not only do you have to safeguard the quality of your ladies, you have to bring in the new and push out the old even more. Only in this way can you ensue Heavenly Dream Tower's position."
"Does Worthy Little Brother Luo have a plan?" Nangong Yu heard and his heart itched, asking impatiently.
