Lin Qingtong looked in the direction Luo Susu was pointing and saw a familiar figure standing at the entrance of the lively and festive Celebrity Home Furnishings store across the street.
Lin Jiaorui was still wearing her banquet dress, smiling and waving to Lin Qingtong, but her manner was clearly provocative.
The two were separated by only a street, their gazes clashing in mid-air, sharp and terrifying like thunderbolts.
Just as Lin Jiaorui was greeting Lin Qingtong, a figure slowly walked to her side, looking kind and approachable, like an elder showing concern for Lin Jiaorui.
But in reality, Master Shen was inviting Lin Jiaorui to his apartment that night to spend the evening together.
Even though Lin Jiaorui is still pregnant, Master Shen is still only thinking about his own affairs.
Originally, it shouldn't have been Lin Jiaorui's turn no matter what, but Lin Jiaorui was willing to go all out and was good-looking, and most importantly, young.
Therefore, Master Shen, who was not picky about food, naturally accepted all comers, and Lin Jiaorui's identity made it easier for him to deal with Shen Tinghe.
Now, Master Shen naturally doted on Lin Jiaorui to the extreme.
Lin Qingtong watched the interaction between Lin Jiaorui and Master Shen, a cold smile appearing on her lips.
Lin Jiaorui is really willing to go all out.
Luo Susu stood up for Lin Qingtong, saying, "Sister Qingtong, don't worry, I'll go across the street and turn off their power, killing their money tree!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Qingtong turned her head to look at the indignant Luo Susu and chuckled lightly in a teasing tone.
"I wonder who was watching so intently just now."
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Luo Susu's face. "You know, Chinese people are born to love watching a spectacle. She spent a lot of money to hire a group of ethnic singers, and their songs are incredibly good."
"Sister Qingtong, I know I was wrong. Please don't be angry. I won't look at it anymore."
She quickly apologized to Lin Qingtong, which only made Lin Qingtong chuckle.
"Alright, I was just kidding. You guys should behave yourselves and not do anything. Just do your own jobs well."
"You absolutely mustn't water someone's money tree, and you definitely mustn't cut off their electricity!"
Luo Susu quickly responded with a smile, her thoughts of causing trouble vanishing.
After Lin Qingtong returned to her office, the fat man approached Luo Susu and asked, "Susu, are you really not going to do anything to help Sister Qingtong?"
"I've got everything ready!" The fat man smiled mysteriously, staring intently at Luo Susu, already prepared for her to definitely agree.
Unexpectedly, Luo Susu slapped the fat man on the back of the head, giving him a serious lecture.
"I'm warning you, you're not allowed to lay a hand on her without my permission. We can't help Qingtong too much, but we can't cause her any trouble either, understand?"
Now, the fat man could only cover his head and obediently go back to work.
In the following days, the Celebrity Home Furnishings store across the street became incredibly lively. Elderly people lined up to receive eggs, and they were given gifts as soon as they entered. They also offered a 20-yuan discount for every 100 yuan spent, and they were also doing extensive online marketing.
Almost everyone around here knows that a celebrity home furnishing store has opened here and is currently running a promotion.
Su Kai Home Furnishings' business wasn't very good to begin with, and now it's almost deserted, with not a single person coming in all day.
Geng Xiangmei sat in the shop swatting flies. She was usually very calm, but she couldn't help but get anxious and went to ask Lin Qingtong for advice.
"Sister Qingtong, what are your plans to do next? This can't go on. We haven't had a single customer all day."
Lin Qingtong was sitting at her desk, looking through the documents sent by Yousheng Villa. These were photos of some furniture she had ordered.
Her slender, delicate fingers rested on the table, a smile playing at the corners of her lips.
"Don't worry, the other side will only be lively for a few days at most, and they won't be able to hold on any longer. I've already calculated their costs, and they can only hold on for three more days at most."
"I have some things I want you to do over the next three days."
After hearing Lin Qingtong's arrangements, Geng Xiangmei couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and look at him for a long time before finally uttering a single sentence.
"That's too much—"
Lin Qingtong stared at her, smiling as she asked, "Do you think such business practices are illegal?"
Geng Xiangmei slapped her thigh, her eyes narrowing into slits with laughter.
"I mean, this is so satisfying. You have no idea how arrogant they were when they opened their business at our door a few days ago. I wanted to rush up and tear their faces to shreds."
Lin Qingtong's smile deepened; she had indeed not misjudged him.
"Go ahead and do whatever you want, I'll take responsibility for the consequences."
Upon hearing Lin Qingtong's words, Geng Xiangmei turned around and left the office happily. As soon as she stepped out, she started calling all her relatives.
"Come on, I'll take you to get some freebies."
Afterwards, Geng Xiangmei took all his relatives to the Star Home Furnishings store across the street to buy things, and the discount coupons they received saved them a lot of money.
Then Lin Qingtong bought it at a discounted price and resold it, making a pure profit of over 100,000 yuan.
...
After Lin Qingtong finished communicating with Yousheng Villa, she stood up and looked at the Celebrity Home Furnishings across the street.
The place was bustling with activity, and the faces of the people coming and going were all beaming with joy.
Lin Jiaorui probably didn't come today.
Just as Lin Qingtong was thinking this, a familiar voice rang out from the doorway.
"Hello, sister, I've come to see you."
Hearing that sickeningly sweet voice, Lin Qingtong knew it was Lin Jiaorui, and at the same time, she couldn't help but laugh to herself.
People can't stand being nagged. I had only said a couple of words to her when she appeared in front of me.
Lin Qingtong then turned to look at Lin Jiaorui, only to see that his complexion was becoming increasingly rosy, and he walked into the office with great spirit.
She was also carrying a red plastic bag filled with plump, white steamed buns, all huddled together.
She placed the bread on the desk and pushed it towards Lin Qingtong, her eyes full of provocation.
“I remember my sister used to love eating this, so I bought some for you so you can relive the past.”
Lin Qingtong's gaze swept over the steamed buns, a mocking smile playing on her lips.
Back then, Lin Jiaorui and Shen Xue, taking advantage of Lin Yan's favoritism, secretly cut her allowance, causing Lin Qingtong to go hungry at school and only be able to buy these big steamed buns to dip in milk.
During that time, Lin Qingtong was growing and her appetite increased visibly, but she had no living expenses and was too embarrassed to tell Su Wanjun because Su Wanjun was always crying.
Therefore, Lin Qingtong had to take on part-time jobs to earn a meager amount of money.
I don't know how Lin Jiaorui found out that she worked at a restaurant, so she specially brought Su Wanjun and Lin Yan to the restaurant where she worked.
Lin Yan was so angry that he slapped her a few times, while Su Wanjun protected Lin Qingtong, but only cried and complained about why she needed so much money. Was she obsessed with money?
