Watching the woman approaching, Liang Jing could clearly feel the stares coming from all around. Some players had even stopped in their tracks, and not far away, the players queued up at the entrance all turned their heads to look.
If these people were focused on the woman in front of her, she could understand.
After all, the woman was tall with an excellent appearance and bearing, and she carried an indescribable sense of warmth about her. It would have been hard not to notice her on the street.
But these people were all directing their gazes at *her*. Just a moment ago, not a single person had paid her any attention, and now, simply because this beautiful woman had called out to her, she had become the center of everyone's attention…
The beauty who had addressed Liang Jing was none other than Youyu Weixiao, who had just finished her work.
Per Shi Feng's instructions, she had found a good helper for the shop, but she was supposed to guide her through things first.
"Hello, I'm Youyu Weixiao. From now on, I'll be the one showing you around the Candlelight Trading Company. If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask me," Youyu Weixiao introduced herself.
As Youyu Weixiao made her introduction, the surrounding players erupted in commotion.
"Damn, who the hell is that person, to be greeted by Youyu Weixiao of the Candlelight Trading Company?"
"Could she be some kind of master-tier crafter?"
"That can't be right. She's only Level 1 and doesn't have any crafting badge. She's definitely a newcomer. But to have Youyu Weixiao come greet her in person—could she be some heiress from a major financial group visiting the Candlelight Trading Company?"
…
Before long, the life-profession players who had come to sign up and join the Candlelight Trading Company were whispering among themselves.
The looks they gave Liang Jing were filled with envy and jealousy.
Youyu Weixiao was the manager of the Candlelight Trading Company, and a Master Blacksmith at that—an absolute upper echelon member of the Zero Wing Guild. Rumor had it that even several superpowers had offered astronomical sums to poach her, but she had turned them all down.
Youyu Weixiao was essentially the idol that all life-profession players looked up to.
Not only was she incredibly beautiful, but her forging skills were at the pinnacle of the Divine Realm. She could turn down invitations from major financial groups just like that. Living life the way Youyu Weixiao did was their dream.
Precisely because of this, it wasn't just the Star Moon Kingdom—innumerable life-profession players from several neighboring countries were all scrambling to get into the Candlelight Trading Company.
"Heiress from a major financial group?"
Listening to the whispered discussion of the life-profession players, Liang Jing looked at Youyu Weixiao standing before her and felt a quiet shock inside. She hadn't expected this woman to hold such a high position.
It made her blush involuntarily.
She was merely an assistant to the chairman of the Beidou Group. Compared to the untouchable heiress of a major financial group, she was nothing more than a firefly next to the full moon.
After a brief exchange of introductions, Youyu Weixiao led Liang Jing into the Candlelight Trading Company.
As the only three-star trading company in the entire Star Moon Kingdom, stepping through the front door felt like entering a modern-day department store—except it was far more magical in nature.
Looking around, the entire lobby was packed with players come to purchase goods, leaving Liang Jing stunned. She had never imagined that a trading company inside the Divine Realm could be so lively and prosperous.
Youyu Weixiao simply smiled and led Liang Jing directly up to the third floor.
From the third floor onward, the area was closed to the general public and restricted solely to members of the Candlelight Trading Company.
