The bustling marketplace was now hers. Her mentor, Mr. Chen, had simply handed over the reins, a nod of the head and a muttered blessing. The stalls, the vendors, the profits… it was all hers to control.

She started to cut deals with suppliers, driving down prices. She also started to make a list of who she could start charging more.
