The female boss nodded slightly, and the wariness in her eyes relaxed considerably.
Lu Qing sighed and said, "It's almost here. I'll treat you to a meal somewhere."
The female boss pursed her lips, thought for a moment, picked up her bag, and said, "Let's go."
The two went to a high-end Western restaurant and sat in a quiet corner, enjoying steak and red wine while listening to soothing piano music.
Lu Qing chatted with her slowly and deliberately about luxury goods, perfumes, and designer scarves.
The two hit it off as they chatted, and Lu Qing tentatively asked, "Did you own this shop?"
Mu Jiaojiao put down her knife and fork and said, "My boyfriend and I opened it together."
Lu Qing asked with some envy, "Your boyfriend is very rich."
Mu Jiaojiao nodded slightly: "He has many businesses, and he opened this electronics store to give me something to do."
Lu Qing continued to show her envy, after all, she had been an actress for several months and her acting skills were top-notch.
The timely expression of envy she showed pleased Mu Jiaojiao greatly.
The two chatted for a long time. Mu Tingting, a little drunk, said with a look of disdain, "What do they know? I'm so beautiful. If I were to marry just any ordinary person, would I spend my whole life in a cramped mud house, washing clothes and cooking for a man, living around the stove?"
"I also want a life of luxury. I clearly have the ability to achieve it, so why should I give it up?"
Lu Qing felt that she and Mu Jiaojiao were kindred spirits, because their thoughts were almost identical.
She sighed and explained her situation.
She didn't mention Shen Xuwen's matter, but only vaguely mentioned it once.
Mu Jiaojiao's eyes lit up immediately, feeling that she had found a kindred spirit.
The two mistresses looked at each other with a sense of shared misery, as if they had finally found kindred spirits.
As they chatted, Lu Qing mentioned her shop, saying that she also wanted to open a shop there.
She's now desperate because her boyfriend's wife vandalized her clothing store in the capital of the neighboring province.
Mu Jiaojiao wouldn't do anything without a reason, but she genuinely wanted to help Lu Qing.
So she smiled and said, "Why don't you find a shop on this street to sell things? I can help you with the business registration, but there's one condition: I want to be a shareholder."
Lu Qing had expected this; there's no such thing as a free lunch.
If Mu Jiaojiao is willing to help, her matter is half settled.
She thought for a moment and said, "When I was shopping just now, I happened to see an empty shop four stores away from your electronics store. I'll go ask about it later."
Mu Jiaojiao nodded and said, "Yes, women should have their own careers."
"Everyone gets old and loses their looks eventually. If your boyfriend is unreliable, at least you still have money, so you won't end up in a really bad situation."
Lu Qing deeply agreed, and even wondered why she hadn't met Mu Jiaojiao sooner.
If she had known Mu Jiaojiao when she was with Shen Xuwen, she would have realized it long ago.
Knowing that making money is the key, rather than waiting for Shen Xuwen to give her money to spend.
With that thought in mind, she and Mu Jiaojiao immediately headed towards the empty shop after finishing their meal.
There was a contact number on the shop, so Mu Jiaojiao went back to the electronics store to make a call for Lu Qing.
After the other party answered the phone, they immediately asked about the situation. Lu Qing discussed it with the shop owner for a while and finally rented the shop for two thousand yuan a month.
After renting the shop, Lu Qing breathed a sigh of relief and went with Han Jiaojiao to complete the business registration procedures.
Han Jiaojiao seemed to be very familiar with the people at the Industry and Commerce Bureau, and quickly completed all the necessary business registration procedures.
Lu Qing couldn't help but laugh and said, "Sister Mu, thank you so much. Let's go sign a formal contract. From now on, we'll split the shop 30/70, I'll get 70% and you get 30%, okay?"
Mu Jiaojiao waved her hand: "28 points."
“I’ll help you with the renovation, and I’ll take 20% of the profit. His shop is poorly decorated.”
Lu Qing nodded; she wasn't actually satisfied with the store's decor either.
However, she was unfamiliar with the provincial capital and didn't know who to ask for renovations, so she never mentioned it.
When Mu Jiaojiao brought it up, she was naturally happy, and the two of them went to the lawyer to sign a business contract.
The contract was made in triplicate, one copy for the lawyer and one copy for each of them. Since it was getting late, they treated Mu Jiaojiao to a meal and then took the train back.
By the time Lu Qing got home, it was almost 8 p.m.
Shen Xuwen was sitting on the sofa, flipping through the newspaper, when he saw Lu Qing enter and asked in surprise, "Where did you go?"
Lu Qing sat next to him, choked with sobs, and threw herself into his arms, saying softly, "The clothing store you opened for me was vandalized. I reported it to the police, but they didn't find anything and just gave me the runaround."
"I figured someone must not want me to open a shop here, so I went to the provincial capital of the next province today."
“I also met a really beautiful woman. We’ve already agreed that I’ll open a shop near her place. All the business registration and other paperwork are done.”
"From now on, we'll split the store's profits 20/80."
Shen Xuwen was somewhat surprised. He ruffled Lu Qing's hair and said softly, "Qingqing is really capable. She has accomplished so much so quickly."
“I heard about your shop being vandalized. I thought you were crying at home, so I came home as soon as I got off work to comfort you. I didn’t expect you to cheer up so quickly.”
Lu Qing wrinkled her nose and said, "I'm not a child anymore. I'll be 21 after this year. Of course, I can't rely on others for everything. I'll buy you a suit when I earn money in the future."
Shen Xuwen loved her strong and independent image, and he was immediately captivated by her. He hugged her and gently stroked her hair.
The two embraced for a long time before Lu Qing asked sweetly, "Have you eaten?"
Shen Xuwen shook his head: "I've been waiting for you, I haven't even had time to eat, and I still don't know where you went, I can't get in touch with you."
Lu Qing thought for a moment and said, "I'll go cook you a bowl of noodles, wait for me."
Shen Xuwen and Lu Qing went into the kitchen together. Lu Qing cooked noodles for him, while he groped Lu Qing from behind.
Lu Qing couldn't help but nudge him lightly with her elbow.
Shen Xuwen looked at her with doting smile, not angry at all, but instead increased the pressure on his hands.
They thought they were very discreet and that no one else knew about them.
Even though Lu Qing suspected that Yu Xintong had smashed her shop, she didn't think Yu Xintong would come here.
However, she didn't know that Yu Xintong not only knew, but also called Shen Xuwen's parents over.
The three of them were standing downstairs, looking up at the kitchen where Shen Xuwen and Lu Qing were flirting.
Mother Shen was furious; she clutched her chest, her face turning purple.
Shen's father had a gloomy expression and turned to look at Yu Xintong, who had a calm face.
He said helplessly, "Xiaotong, Xuwen is just confused. Please don't hold it against him. We will teach him a lesson."
“He’s so old, yet he still doesn’t know how to behave properly. We haven’t taught him well.”
Mother Shen chimed in, "Yes, Xiaotong, even for your son's sake, don't hold a grudge against him. This time, we will definitely make them cut ties completely."
