Two days before He Ziqian's audio equipment store opened, he started showing off at home, saying that he wanted to thank his grandparents for their support and that he would definitely go to his store to sit and have some tea on the opening day.

He's parents ignored him: "Your aunt said she'd take us boating on the lake, so she won't have time to see your business opening. Go by yourself."

He Ziqian was unhappy: "Is Auntie doing this on purpose? She knows I'm opening my first store, and she's trying to steal my grandparents' place?"

Mrs. He said irritably, "You're the one who did it on purpose. Your aunt told us a long time ago, but who knew you would choose this day to open the business."

Knowing he had misunderstood Yun Jin, He Ziqian wasn't guilty at all: "Why don't you two reschedule for another day?"

“Your aunt has already made all the arrangements, and we can’t change them.” Mr. and Mrs. He were unwilling to change anything.

Once he was sure that Grandpa and Grandma He wouldn't be attending the opening, he shamelessly declared, "Grandpa and Grandma aren't going, so you'd better prepare red envelopes. It's your grandson's first store opening, a big event. How can we not prepare red envelopes?"

All that talk about feelings just came down to a red envelope.

This angered Mrs. He so much that she didn't want this grandson anymore.

On the opening day, Yun Jin asked Brother He and Sister-in-law He to bring a red envelope. Yun Jin then drove them out for a trip to see the sea.

Originally, the trip was supposed to be a boat trip on the lake, but Yun Jin saw photos of her friends from the neighborhood and learned that they had gone to the beach, so she wanted to go too.

Yun Jin discussed it with He's parents and decided to go to the beach near Beijing. They even prepared small buckets for beachcombing.

Mr. He said he hadn't been to the beach in many years, and this time he could go and enjoy the sea breeze.

Yun Jin took He's parents, Xiao Niangao, and Xiao Doubao out together.

He Zizhen is about to take the college entrance examination, and she is studying at home.

The college entrance exam was still in July at that time.

Yun Jin agreed to take He Zizhen out for fun after she finished her college entrance exams.

Upon arriving at the beach, they decided to stay overnight before heading back. They booked a guesthouse, and after showing their letter of introduction, they checked in smoothly.

After putting their things down, they tidied up and went to the beach.

He's parents wore the vacation-style floral shirts that Yun Jin had prepared and took many photos of them. Xiao Niangao even went swimming at the beach. Yun Jin stayed by Xiao Niangao's side the whole time, making sure she didn't go to any dangerous places.

He wouldn't let the little rice cake out of his sight either.

Seeing a little boy playing in the sea with no one watching him, a wave crashed over him, and the deadly rip current almost swept him away, but Yun Jin quickly pulled him back.

The little boy was terrified and cried loudly.

His parents noticed and rushed over, thinking Yun Jin was a bad guy: "What are you doing? This is my son. Are you trying to steal my child?"

"Steal your sister! I kindly saved your son and you didn't even say thank you, but you suspect me of stealing a child. Everyone's watching, I'm not that kind of person." Yun Jin wasn't someone who was easily slandered.

People nearby nodded: "That's right, they meant well."

"If it weren't for this woman, your child would have been taken away long ago."

"This area is marked as a danger zone, why aren't you keeping an eye on your child!"

"Apologize right now! They just saved your son's life!"

Thanks to the presence of witnesses and their voices confirming that Yun Jin had done a good deed, the mother of the child who had misunderstood quickly apologized and offered to treat her to a meal.

Yun Jin waved her hand: "We're all mothers, so be careful. Don't regret it when something happens."

After saying that, Yun Jin led Xiao Niangao away.

Little Rice Cake promised, "Mom, I definitely won't run around at the beach."

"That's good. Don't be fooled by how fun the beach is; it's dangerous. Like that little boy just now, if Mom hadn't held him, he would have been swept away without even realizing it." Yun Jin ignored Xiao Niangao's movements, sat on the sand, held her, and taught her how to distinguish between rip currents and other ocean currents.

Little Rice Cake seemed to understand, but secretly warned herself that she couldn't go to the beach alone—it was dangerous!

After playing on the beach for a while, Xiao Niangao collected a lot of seashells and pretty starfish. They then went to a nearby restaurant for dinner, where they enjoyed mackerel dumplings and other delicious seafood.

Xiao Niangao was also given to He's parents, and Yun Jin peeled shrimp.

Mother He was deeply moved: "Our Nian Gao has grown up and will take good care of his grandparents. Mom, you are so good and sensible!"

Little Rice Cake smiled broadly as she was praised.

After a satisfying meal, Yun Jin and her companions returned to the guesthouse for a midday rest. They planned to go out for a walk in the afternoon and watch the sunrise the next morning, which would essentially conclude their one- or two-day trip.

Yun Jin also took the time to make a phone call to the newly opened audio equipment store.

The store manager told Yun Jin, "Don't worry, boss lady, our store is doing even better. We sell cassette tapes for 9.9 yuan each, and we also have cheap and good speakers. We've even taken away the customers from the store next door."

"The owner almost caused trouble in our store in a fit of anger, but his parents persuaded him to leave. Now there are only a few people there, looking around a lot but buying very few."

"Well done, keep it up! If sales are good, you'll get a commission!" Yun Jin hung up the phone with satisfaction.

He Ziqian never expected that after a month of hard work and high expectations for his business opening, he would encounter people who were deliberately targeting him.

A stereo store opened not far from my shop, and the products there were similar to those in my shop, but the prices were ten yuan cheaper.

That's right, it's ten yuan.

For just 9.9 yuan, you can buy a cassette tape with more songs than the original, including popular tracks from several different artists.

A loudspeaker was placed at the entrance, and everyone heard "9.9 yuan for any song." After listening to the songs, they found that they were all popular songs from Hong Kong. Compared to the other store, they all felt that the store next door was more cost-effective and went to the store called Star Trend Audio Store.

Aside from acquaintances who come to support me, I hardly have any customers at my shop.

Even if someone planned to come to the store, they were quickly drawn away by the loudspeaker next door, which made He Ziqian so angry that his face turned green.
