Xiao Yu could never have imagined that a brand she had never heard of could actually be effective at clearing acne.
And so miraculously at that.
She couldn’t even bring herself to believe what she was seeing, staring intently at Fang Hui’s face.
But the scene before her remained unchanged.
“Are you sure what you’re using is that ‘Beauty Chant’?” Xiao Yu asked uncertainly.
“Yes,” Fang Hui nodded, her face full of relief. “Thank goodness I picked it back out of the trash can, or I would have regretted it for the rest of my life!”
Xiao Yu narrowed her eyes, “Do they have any products for removing dark spots?”
While she didn’t have acne, her face was covered with many dark spots.
“I think they do, you can go check it out.”
“Where is it located?” Xiao Yu inquired.
Fang Hui replied, “It’s over on South Street, you can find it easily, their place is very noticeable.”
“Alright.” Xiao Yu nodded.
Once the freckles on her face were gone, she’d dump her current boyfriend and find a local man from Qing City.
——
When Zhao Cui Nong got home, she mentioned her idea of buying a commercial property to Lin Bingqiang.
Lin Bingqiang hesitated for a moment, “While buying a shop as an investment is pretty good, South Street is still a bit remote.”
South Street is on the outskirts of town.
It’s better now, but it used to be purely rural.
Zhao Cui Nong gave him a look, “What do you know, Xiao Wu said that area will definitely be developed! And the subway is going to reach there soon, too.”
As she spoke, Zhao Cui Nong added, “Plus, with the shop doing so well right now, even if South Street doesn’t develop, we won’t be at a loss.”
Lin Bingqiang took a puff of his cigarette, “Then fine, let’s buy it.”
He was about to be promoted soon, and both his sister’s and his wife’s businesses were doing very well, so investing in a shop wasn’t too much of a burden.
In a moment, Lin Bingqiang seemed to think of something else, and continued, “Since Xiao Wu says South Street has investment potential, should we mention it to Second Sister?”
It’s best not to let outsiders benefit from something that could be kept in the family.
If the value of the shops there were to rise, Lin Guimei could also make a fortune.
“Your second sister?” Zhao Cui Nong gave him a glance, her tone meaningful, “Her? Hmph…”
“What are you scoffing at?”
Zhao Cui Nong continued, “Haven’t you noticed your second sister has changed long ago? Even if you tell her this, she won’t be grateful, and she might even ridicule you!”
“Second sister has always been like that, but she’s not a bad person at heart.”
“You go tell her yourself tomorrow.” Zhao Cui Nong didn’t want to wade into these waters.
The following morning.
Lin Bingqiang made a special trip to see Lin Guimei and explained his intentions.
Upon hearing, Lin Guimei frowned slightly, “Buying a shop on South Street?”
“Yes,” Lin Bingqiang nodded, “Xiao Wu says it has commercial value and will soon be developed. It could potentially surge in value.”
A mocking smile spread across Lin Guimei’s face, “How old is she?”
“Age isn’t the issue,” Lin Bingqiang persisted. “Second sister, Xiao Wu is really doing great in the skincare business. I think the kid has good insights, won’t you really consider investing?”
Doing great in the business?
Lin Wu?
Her brother is foolish.
Being scammed without even realizing it.
“If South Street, that sorry place, could be developed, I’d write the name ‘Lin Guimei’ backwards!” Having said that, Lin Guimei looked at Lin Bingqiang, “I advise you to stop dreaming of getting rich quick. It’s better to keep your feet on the ground.”
With that, Lin Guimei added, “Qiangzi, you are the head of the family. You must be cautious in all matters! How can you let Zhao Cui Nong do as she pleases? You should be able to figure out with your toes what’s true and what’s not. Don’t just believe whatever they say, otherwise you won’t even be able to keep the roof over your head.”
She wasn’t exaggerating at all.
If things kept going like this, the money Lin Bingqiang had saved up from years of work would eventually be squandered by them!
Lin Bingqiang furrowed his brow slightly, “Second sister, you’re overreacting! Xiao Wu’s skincare shop is doing quite well. If you don’t want to buy the shop, that’s fine. I’ll be going back now, I still have to work later!”
With that, Lin Bingqiang immediately turned and left.
He had thought his second sister was just being her usual self, but it turns out his wife had hit the nail on the head.
Watching her brother’s retreating figure, Lin Guimei frowned slightly.
As an older sister, she had given all the warnings she had to give!
If Lin Bingqiang was impervious to her advice, what could she do?
Just wait and see.
Sooner or later, they’ll regret it.
Taking advantage of the lunch break, Lin Wu and Zhao Cuinong went to the sales office to sign the contract.
Lin Guixiang stayed behind to look after the shop.
The saleslady smiled and said, “Here is your contract, please sign it once you’ve confirmed that everything is correct.”
After signing, the next step was payment.
Thanks to the Ghost Path, Lin Wu wasn’t short on cash, so the 800,000 yuan for the house could be paid off easily.
However, to avoid arousing Zhao Cuinong’s suspicion she only made the down payment.
After the payment, the two left the sales office.
As soon as they left, another saleslady curiously asked, “Xiao Feng, did those two just buy two properties outright?”
Feng Jiaoqian nodded, “Yes, they did.”
“With property prices on South Street plummeting so severely, why would anyone be so thoughtless as to buy a shop here?”
The two-story shops on South Street were initially selling for 1.3 million yuan each, then the price dropped to 1.2 million, and now they’re down to 800,000 yuan and still no buyers.
This clearly demonstrates that this isn’t a good location at all.
Even their own staff wouldn’t consider it.
Now they’re bought for 800,000 yuan.
In the future, they won’t even sell for 400,000 yuan.
Feng Jiaoqian squinted her eyes, “That girl’s household registration address is in the countryside; she probably hasn’t seen much of the world!”
Would anyone worldly commit such a foolish action?
Feng Qiaoqiao’s niece, Feng Jiaoqian worked in the sales office.
She was there to bring her niece lunch.
When she walked in, she saw the backs of Zhao Cuinong and Lin Wu.
Feng Qiaoqiao quickened her pace and entered the sales hall, “Jiaoqian, were people named Lin Wu and Zhao Cuinong just here to buy shops?”
“Unbelievable, Auntie! How did you know?” Feng Jiaoqian exclaimed in surprise.
Feng Qiaoqiao narrowed her eyes, “They live in the same courtyard as I do. By the way, did they buy it? Did they pay in full or take out a loan?”
Feng Jiaoqian said, “With their situation, they would struggle even to make a down payment, let alone pay in full. They must be dreaming!”
“So, they took out a loan to buy the shops?” Feng Qiaoqiao continued.
“Hmm,” Feng Jiaoqian nodded, “I was the one who signed the contract.”
Upon learning that Lin Wu and Zhao Cuinong had taken out a loan to buy shops there, Feng Qiaoqiao’s eyes filled with a scornful look, “Lan Lan, if they regret it tomorrow and want to cancel the purchase of the shops, you absolutely must not let them cancel it!”
What kind of development could there possibly be on South Street?
Although Zhao Cuinong, being an outsider, might not fully understand the situation, Lin Guimei was different.
Having lived in Qing City for over a decade, Lin Guimei would definitely have Lin Guixiang refund the money once she knew about this.
Feng Jiaoqian spoke in an exasperated tone, “We’ve signed a contract, which has legal effect. How can we just cancel it? Do they think they’re still in the countryside where they can just cancel anytime, throw a tantrum, and make a scene to get their way?”
——
Lin Guixiang placed the loudspeaker at the entrance of the store, where Lin Wu’s recording played on loop.
“Ancestral secret formula, removes spots and acne. If it doesn’t work, you can directly bash the boss’s head in.”
Grandma Lu, supporting herself with a walking stick, had just arrived at South Street when she heard this recording.
An ancestral secret formula?
Removes spots and acne?
Tsk!
This store owner is too arrogant.
If it’s not effective, you can bash the boss’s head in?
She actually wanted to see if this skincare product for spot and acne removal was as effective as claimed.
Her skin hadn’t been in good condition recently, breaking out with several red bumps.
Just as she was about to reach the front door, Grandma Lu suddenly felt intense dizziness at the top of her head, and she collapsed on the ground. Although her eyes were still open, she couldn’t move at all.
Seeing this, Lin Guixiang immediately hurried out of the shop to help Grandma Lu.
She had just reached Grandma Lu when He Meili, who came out of the neighboring shop, stopped her, “Sister Guixiang, you can’t help her. What if it’s a scam?”
Nowadays, there are so many swindlers.
With circumstances so ambiguous, how can one be sure?
Besides, just looking at the old lady’s silvery hair, one can tell she must be very old; what if she were to die? Who would be responsible?
