Although the county magistrate expressed his desire to meet Nan Feng, his official duties ultimately prevented him from doing so. Nonetheless, to show his appreciation for Nan Feng's good deed, he personally inscribed the words "Benefactor to the People" on a plaque and had it sent to Nan Feng's residence as a token of his gratitude.
Once this plaque was displayed, business at Nan Feng's shop flourished even more. The townsfolk praised Nan Feng as a benevolent businesswoman, who not only provided quality products but was also kindhearted. Consequently, young ladies in the town became even more fond of shopping at her store.
The news eventually reached the ears of the county magistrate's wife.
