Chapter 256: 256
1st of December .
No . 157, Jin Ling West Road .
Along the crackling of firecrackers, Forever Jewels which moved to a new location reopened after halting business operations for more than a month, welcoming all old and new customers .
The store’s new address was not far from the No . 188 old store, merely a hundred meters away . Its location was, similarly, not bad at all . After furnishing, the shops interior become more atmospheric and luxurious .
In spite of that, business still plundered by quite a significant amount . It would require a long period of time to cultivate the “business aura”, that business would start booming .
On this day, Chen Jin passed by the street . He stopped by the shop to find out about the situation .
“Business is less than half of our original . We’ve lost many old customers . The shop is very quiet from day to night . ” Chiu Wanting said while frowning . She was in a depressed mood . She who rarely loses her temper had started castigating her lazy employees .
“Take things slowly aunt Chiu, there’s no point rushing . Time would make everything work . ” Chen Jin said while crossing his hands . He was rather puzzled . Why would there be such a big difference in business just a hundred meters apart?
But in matters such as opening a store, there were many metaphysical elements regarding the locations fengshui and what not . Only ‘old eyes’ in the field can visualize its obscure correlations .
He felt a jolt . If he were to let Nuwa do some calculations on which location was better before picking one for the shop, maybe the jewelry shop’s business would not differ too much . But since it was already done, it was no use thinking about it again .
“Hahaha!”
A hearty laugh came from the door .
Guo Yan and an employee returned to the shop and reported about a situation with extreme excitement, “Scared away another one today . Landlord Lee’s face looked extremely awful . He can’t rent his shop anymore . ”
“??”
Chen Jin was at sea . He asked Guo Yan about what was going on .
Guo Yan said while her face was glowing in rosiness, “Mr . Chen, your friend is so mean . Landlord Lee was punked so hard and had already reduced rental price for three times, but there’s still nobody that wants to rent his shop . ”
“Why? It is his freedom to rent his shop to whoever he wants to, we can’t possibly interfere with that right . ”
Chen Jin too wished for that Landlord Lee to get pranked, but how? He felt that there was no good way to do so .
“How is it not possible?”
Guo Yan grinned and said . “Mr . Wang bought the whole building at the opposite of No . 188, and then let his men spread the words saying that: whoever dares to rent No . 188, the shop at its opposite will do and sell the exact same thing as No . 188, and it will certainly be sold at a cheaper price . Go ahead and try . ”
“Nobody in this street dares to offend Mr . Wang and even more, you, Mr . Chen . After those oblivious tenants became aware of the situation, no matter how low is No . 188’s rental, they won’t dare to rent it . They were all scared away . ”
“Haha, this is called shooting oneself in the foot . ”
Owh~
Chen Jin nodded his head .
Clever, very clever indeed . It was nearly impossible for that Landlord Lee to rent out his shop after getting screwed by Mr . Wang . Over time, Landlord Lee would crumble sooner or later, and could only soften himself and beg for mercy .
There was no need to feel sorry for this kind of people . There must be a limit, even for greed . People with unrestrained avarice must be piled out with a bucket of cold water . Only that the person with the ability to pour this bucket of cold water must have more capital in their possessions .
In most cases, greedy people would normally accomplish their goal, leaving the weak in lamentation .
To prove this, it could be seen from the store on this street whose door had been rolled down by a third .
…
Leaving the Jewelry shop .
Junting Grand Court, Villa No . 8 .
Chen Jin who had not come for a long time, came . Therefore, he did some prior communications .
On the white steps in front of the villa, there was a woman who was looking around earnestly . She was smiling with happiness . She was holding her waist with one hand and gently touching her slightly bulged belly with the other .
Upon seeing a car entering the villa .
She hastened her steps forward to welcome him . “You’re here darling” she said .
“Be careful, the ground here is uneven . ” Chen Jin quickly took her arms and helped her into the villa .
“It’s only three months . It’s not that delicate yet . ” The woman looked at the man with her eyes filled with affection . She then looked down at her tummy . Her heart was overflowing with joy, “I have his child now . ”
Chen Jin nodded with satisfaction . In point of fact, when he turned 27 and realized that he was no longer young anymore, he had already decided, “I can’t be f*cking around meaninglessly anymore”
On contrary, he must look at his previous ‘playboyish’ acts as something serious and meaningful, because it was intertwined with the continuation of the human species . It was even interwoven with the future of another planet and another galaxy .
In other words: he wanted a couple children .
Furthermore, the woman was willing to bear for him his monkeys .
Thus, he had his first fruit rather swiftly, and it was already 15 weeks old .
Besides, Chen Jin already had quite a number of instances with Su Yun and he did not care about protection whatsoever . Regarding the fact, he felt strange that nothing had seemed to transpire on Su Yun until now .
Luckily, he had quite a capable one over here .
Subsequently, Chen Jin kept the woman company in the villa for three days, providing her his utmost care .
When he was about to leave, there was an additional female bodyguard with short hair and wearing tights standing before him . She had an ordinary look and a dull personality but was emitting a menacing aura .
Chen Jin said to the woman beside him, “This is the female bodyguard I hired for you . Her name is Jennie . From now on, she will be protecting you 24/7 . Besides, she can also cook, do the laundry, move stuff and many other things, it will be equivalent to having me by your side . ”
Jennie was a human replica robot . Chen Jin felt assured with Jennie keeping the woman company .
“Jennie?”
The woman scanned through Jennie . She wanted to say that she does not need protection, but considering that it was the man’s kind regards, she nodded and said, “Okay . In this way, we won’t have to hire a nanny anymore . ”
Aside from that .
Chen Jin drew a black gold colored card out of his pocket, handed it to the woman and said, “There’s some pocket money inside . The password is your birthday . Go eat and buy whatever you want, don’t ever think of saving money . More money will be banked in every once in a while . ”
“Pocket money?”
The woman looked at the card in her hands . It seemed that this was the first time the man gave her money . She became curious in an instant . How much money was inside?
She couldn’t help herself and asked, “Dear, is this money for childcare? How much is inside?”
“You’ll know eventually when you use it . There will be this much for you every year . ”
Chen Jin gave her a tenterhook and left Junting Grand Court .
…
After leaving .
Yuan Lin went playing for a few days with the black gold card with her but had yet used it . It was until one time when she went shopping with her mother . They bought quite a lot of stuff and her mum was out of cash . Only then she took out the black gold card from her purse and paid for the 10-thousand-dollar down jacket .
“Ding Dong~”
She received a message on her phone .
The SMS shown the remaining cash balance in the black gold card . Yuan Lin counted the number of digits to the left of the decimal point . She almost fainted . It was 9 digits . There was 10 before she used it!
Moreover, there would be this much every year .
She was moved from deep down .
At this moment, she truly felt the abundance of love that the man had towards her .
