Chen Ping'an visited the wine shop ten days after the incident, and even though it was close to New Year, there was no festive atmosphere at the Sword Qi Great Wall. This was in stark contrast to the Majestic World.
Thanks to the second shopkeeper, Shopkeeper Die Zhang was becoming increasingly renowned at the Sword Qi Great Wall. She also learned much about doing business from Chen Ping'an and became increasingly adept at dealing with customers. Put simply, Die Zhang was more confident and able to act more shamelessly now.

He didn't help serve customers; instead, he sat behind the counter and worked the abacus as he went over the accounts book. Finding a moment of spare time between serving wine and snacks, Die Zhang walked over and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Business hasn't been impacted."
