The officer walked over without greeting or introducing herself, and asked directly: "Did the Business Association send all of you?"
Several of them responded, "Indeed."
The officer then looked at each one in turn. The one at the front started to introduce, "Ma'am, this is our new lip rouge from Beauty Image, made from deep mountain…"
Before she could finish, the officer cut her off with a glance, "Did I say you could speak?"
The shopkeeper quickly fell silent.
Nan Feng thought to herself, fortunately she hadn't had the chance to speak yet.
The officer merely picked up the rouge in front of them, glanced at this one and sniffed that one. It seemed she was choosing based on her personal preference.
After sniffing this one and that, she finally stopped in front of Nan Feng, pointing at the lip rouge from Beauty Plantation on her table, "How much is this one?"
"Two hundred coins each," Nan Feng responded.
