Chapter 12 Opening the Shop in the Morning

How many?

Three thousand? It was hard for her to use such a condescending tone.

"Thank you, but no thanks. I'm not the kind of person who would endure hardship without any effort." Chen You said seriously.

"I quit my job because I was going to open a shop for renovation."

Wu Zhengyun's smile faded a little, "It's good, but business is not easy these days.

Some people have lost all their capital after working for two or three months and can’t even pay the rent. It’s better to find a stable job.”

"What you said makes sense." Shen You nodded.

Wu Zhengyun originally wanted to see Chen You's defense break, but she didn't expect her fist to hit cotton, and she felt helpless.

So he continued to ask, "Where is your store? Chen Hao and I will go over to show our support when we have time."

"Forget it. The store isn't ready yet."

Chen You smiled, turned around, pointed at the new products she had just seen, and ordered several of the colors she liked.

I also have a foundation I like, a primer and two sets of five-figure skincare products, which are the brand's highest-end products.

The shopping guide's smile and service attitude immediately filled up, she gave away a lot of samples, and asked for Chen You's phone number to help her register for membership points.

Wu Zhengyun, who was standing nearby, froze in shock. She was still sending a message to another roommate on her phone:

[Guess who I met? Chen You! I didn’t expect her to be so miserable now, without a job.]

When I looked at the dialog box again, it was suddenly a bit dazzling, and the thing in my hand didn't seem so appealing anymore.

"You bought so many things?" Wu Zhengyun asked unwillingly.

"Any problem? Give one set to my mom." Chen You scanned the code and paid.

"What do you sell in your store? Let's go after the decoration is completed."

"I just took over the antique shop, and I'm currently taking on some appraisal work. You guys don't have anything to appraise, so I said you don't need to support me. But thank you for your kindness. I'm leaving first."

Everyone is sarcastic.

"Wait, Chen You." Wu Zhengyun called her.

"In a while, our dormitory and some friends from the department in Jiangcheng are planning to have a party. We originally planned to contact you after confirming the time and place.

I just happened to meet you today so I'll tell you by the way, are you going?"

Shen You thought for a moment, "If I have time, I will go."

As she left the counter with the paper bag in her hand, Wu Zhengyun glared at her boyfriend unhappily.

"Still looking? How about I send you her WeChat so you can have a good look?"

Chen Hao retracted his gaze and coaxed her, "What are you talking about? Why would I look at other women? I'm just curious about your roommate. How come he's so rich? What does his family do?"

"Her father is just an ordinary person who works in a county. I don't even know if her family's debts have been repaid."

Wu Zhengyun rolled her eyes.

"You need connections and money to open an antique shop. I guess it's just like the stalls on the antique street. They're all fake. If they can cheat anyone, they'll do it. Otherwise, why wouldn't they dare let others see it? They might just be pretending to be rich."

"I don't think so."

As Chen Hao was speaking, the two of them walked to the parking lot.

Seeing the sports car that looked very expensive from its appearance, Chen Hao couldn't help but take a few more glances at it.

Then Chen You drove the car with the window open for a long time and finally got out.

His eyes turned into disgust in a second.

This thing is also called a car?

Chen Hao shook his head in amusement, got into his BMW worth more than 200,000 yuan, and continued,

"In the antique business, there is actually a lot of room for maneuver. With a roommate like yours, it shouldn't be hard to find someone to support him."

Wu Zhengyun made a "tsk" sound and continued the conversation on the phone.

Chen You naturally couldn't hear what they were talking about behind them, as all her attention was on the car next to her.

I don’t know how much it costs, but it looks unusual.

She is not very good at reversing and has to look several times before moving, for fear of scratching or hitting the other car.

How much does it cost to pay for this scratch?!

Her consumption concept is: it’s okay to spend on yourself, but not on men, and she would feel heartbroken if she gave money to others.

Chen You gripped the steering wheel with both hands and glanced at the rearview mirror stealthily.

The other person was just on her left, waiting for her to drive out of the garage, otherwise he would not be able to get out either.

The flashing turn signal seemed to be urging us.

Although you may be scolded for driving slowly, you will not lose money.

Chen You drove very carefully. The distance was fine at first, but the other party suddenly took a step forward and closed the distance.

Aren't you in such a hurry?

She took a deep breath and could only drive out, muttering to herself, retreat, retreat, retreat!

At this moment, an impatient sigh sounded from the driver's seat of the sports car behind.

The slender fingers, with protruding joints, tapped the square plate from time to time.

Looking at the panda man emoji stuck on the back windshield.

Is this a power outage?

The man pulled the handbrake with his cold white hands and was about to open the car door to take a look.

The light green tram, which exuded a sense of strength despite its disability, finally drove out of the garage.

"So it's not that there's no electricity." The charming lips moved slightly, and the indifferent voice was so pleasant to hear.

“It’s a dish.”

He restarted the car and turned the steering wheel casually.

When driving past, Chen You glanced over there to confirm that the distance between the two cars when they were crossing was correct, then sat up straight and drove towards the exit without looking around.

And at that moment, the people in the two cars withdrew their gazes outside almost at the same time.

——

During the day, the renovation work of the antique shop continued, and Chen You still spent his time receiving and opening express parcels and selecting modern handicrafts.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the truck delivering rice and flour arrived. After counting and checking, the balance was settled on the spot.

Chen You opened a door on the side of the yard to make a garage so that he could go straight back to the shop by stepping on the accelerator.

The garage isn't completely finished yet, but it's enough for temporarily storing goods.

After closing the door, I waited to complete the transaction before six o'clock tomorrow morning and deliver the goods to [Da Qi].

Choosing this time point just avoids the decoration team coming in at 8 o'clock.

It's also easy to find excuses.

They said the things were taken away at dawn, so it was normal that the neighbors didn't see the car, as there was no one in the alley at that time.

Arrange everything, set an alarm in the store system for the morning, and go to bed.

Nothing happened that night. The next day, Chen You wore comfortable cotton and silk home clothes and the [Da Qi] antique shop opened for business.

She cooked herself a bowl of wontons, added some seaweed and dried shrimps, and sat in the shop on the first floor, eating while waiting with the pot of instant noodles.

It's not yet fully light, and there's a hint of blue in the sky.

Under the illumination of the warm yellow Chinese-style table lamp that I bought for 35 yuan with free shipping, the antique shop also has a mysterious atmosphere.

Not long after, someone came into the store.

The people who came were Liu Zheng and Zhong Jing who finally entered the shop. Both of them had extremely excited expressions on their faces.

"This thing can glow!" It was the first time that Zhong Jing saw a lamp, and he stared at the light bulb inside.

"Night-shining pearl? But it doesn't look like it. Night-shining pearls don't emit light of this color."

"Ahem." Liu Zheng coughed lightly, reminding him to talk about business first.

Before leaving the city, His Highness instructed that things must be done properly and the victims must be kept at bay.

Someone was causing trouble in front of the porridge shop yesterday.

Regarding the illustrations, do you want to see the version with or without illustrations?
