Another weekend.
Xu Musen's second batch of funds could be withdrawn again.
Because there was no recharge system in place, the inco was mostly from traffic and registration fees of new users.
But he still pocketed around seventy to eighty thousand.
Xu Musen spent over twenty thousand on a cara, cringing as he did so.
There were other miscellaneous items that, when added up, cost him another ten thousand or more. He also planned to upgrade the family computer; otherwise, video editing would be too inefficient.
The money seed like a lot, but it sure dwindled quickly once spent.
However, the ti to reap the rewards had finally arrived.
Xu Musen took He Qiang along, pretending to be photographers as they headed to his mother's flower shop to continue filming.
As expected, he noticed an increased flow of custors in the shop over the weekend.
Yao Mingyue was there helping out again. Lately, she hadn't been sticking close to Xu Musen, but she got along with his parents as if she were their own daughter.
Everyday, Xu's mother would seek her out for a chat as soon as she got ho, and Yao Mingyue's visits to their house were becoming ever more frequent.
Xu Musen always felt that this was definitely another smart move by Yao Mingyue.
If she couldn't win over Xu Musen for now, she'd start by winning over his parents— proximity was an advantage.
Xu Musen had just reached the entrance of the flower shop with his cara when the proprietress of a won's clothing store next door ca over with a smile.
"Musen, are you planning to do another advertisent for your family's shop?"
"It's not really an advertisent, just ssing around for fun."
Xu Musen felt a surge of joy but managed not to show too much emotion on his face.
The proprietress silently muttered to herself a few words of disbelief. Just ssing around for fun?
Your flower shop is almost a social dia sensation now, and all the businesses on this street are green with envy because of your custor traffic.
"Musen, your aunt has watched you grow up. As neighbors, we should help each other out, right? How about today you also take so shots for your aunt's shop to promote it a little?"
The proprietress directly expressed her own thoughts.
Xu Musen looked at the eager 'big leek' who had co to him, and his heart blood with joy, but he maintained a troubled expression on his face.
"This... Auntie, in fact, the promotions are handled by a company run by a friend of mine."
Xu Musen pointed towards He Qiang, who was standing aside.
He Qiang, completely puzzled, looked at Xu Musen winking and grimacing at him.
He coughed abruptly, put his hands behind his back, and remained silent, playing it cool.
"So... how much did you pay for this service?"
"We are friends, and I was just trying it out, so they did not charge ."
Xu Musen said this without any hint of embarrassnt.
"This..."
The proprietress was a bit disappointed.
Having her shop next door, she knew exactly how booming the flower shop's business had been these past days—probably making as much in a day as she would in a normal week.
Watching her look of disappointnt, Xu Musen smiled and continued, "However, my friend's company has just recently started, and they should have so offers going on. How about I speak to them for you?"
"Okay, that would be great, thank you, Xiaosen." The proprietress's eyes lit up imdiately.
"We're neighbors, after all. It's only right." Xu Musen said cheerfully.
He pulled He Qiang aside and pretended to discuss in depth.
"Damn! You didn't say anything about acting when you called over," He Qiang muttered quietly.
"What's wrong with being the boss? You don't even need to speak a word; with that face of yours, you look just like a ruthless boss."
"Xu Musen! If you make another comnt about my skin color, I'm going to lose it!"
"I'll buy you another fishing rod later."
"Anything for you, Brother Sen!"
"..."
The two of them bantering back and forth looked to the proprietress like Xu Musen was earnestly haggling on her behalf.
Couldn't help feeling touched.
"So, how much do you plan to charge?" He Qiang asked, rubbing his hands nervously as this was his first ti negotiating a business deal.
Xu Musen stroked his chin and, finally, broke into a smile, "This ti, I'm going for a free promotion."
Xu Musen had thought it over. This kind of model was new to the market, and if he set the price too high, no one would be willing to co. If he set it too low, it would be hard to raise the price later.
Rather, it was better to offer free promotion for a few days and let them see the benefits before setting a price.
At that mont, he would have the upper hand.
"You're not charging any money, are you running a charity?" He Qiang didn't understand at all.
"You have to cast a long line to catch a big fish. I don't need to teach you that," Xu Musen said with a smile, patting him on the shoulder, "Just you watch."
Xu Musen returned to find the proprietress, a smile brimming on his face.
"Xiaosen, what did you say? If they want money, we can negotiate that too..." The proprietress had in fact prepared to pay.
But Xu Musen just smiled and said, "I've just spoken to him, we are neighbors after all, and he's decided not to charge. He'll help you with free promotion for a few days to see the results."
"Really?"
"Really, if you don't believe it, we can start shooting for you right now."
"Great, great, Xiaosen, with your way with words, you'll definitely beco a big boss one day..."
The proprietress bead, delighted at the thought of saving so money.
In the flower shop, Xu's mother, watching her son busy with his cara, chuckled to herself, "This kid, when he smiles like that, he's surely up to no good."
Yao Mingyue was also looking at Xu Musen's figure, and for so reason, she felt like his personality had changed a lot recently.
Especially the confidence he exuded and the easy charm of a mature man, sotis made Yao Mingyue feel a bit dazzled.
She always felt that this guy was sohow more charming, but also harder to grasp...
Yao Mingyue bit her lip, her mind inevitably flashing back to the girl in the wheelchair.
It was the first ti she felt such a strong sense of crisis.
Even though Xu Musen said he wasn't ready to date now, watching them together every day made Yao Mingyue's heart ache.
Her gaze shifted towards Xu's mother, her eyes flickering. As the saying goes, love is between two people, but marriage is between two families.
If I can't win you over directly, I'll start with your family and then, bit by bit, slowly consu you!
You need to cast a long line to catch a big fish... Before you bite, I'll let you have a couple of greedy nibbles, and once you're hooked, I'll consu you completely!
The corners of Yao Mingyue's lips curled up into an unhealthy arc.
At that mont, both Xu's mother and Xu Musen felt a chill down their spines—could they really be feeling cold in the middle of sumr?
Xu Musen was taking photos for the won's clothing store, but it felt like sothing was missing. "Auntie, do you have any... younger girls around? If they could wear the store's clothes, the effect would be better," he said tactfully, glancing at the proprietress's middle-aged, full-figured fra.
"Where would a small shop like ours find models?" the proprietress sighed with a wry smile.
"I can help."
Just then, Yao Mingyue ca over with a smile.
As soon as she appeared, many turned their eyes to her, instantly captivated.
Putting aside her morbid personality, Yao Mingyue had a perfect physique.
With a height of 172 cm, her slender curves were like sculptures of art, and her phoenix eyes radiated nobility, giving her an exceptionally distinguished air.
Indeed, even among professional models, she would undoubtedly be the most eye-catching.
"Great, great, what a beautiful girl..." The proprietress bead as though she had struck gold.
Xu's mother also ca over with a laugh, "Yes, Ming Yue wanted to buy clothes, right? You might as well try them on."
Xu's mother was thinking of helping her son finish his work quickly.
But at that mont, Xu Musen's eyelid twitched. Why did it feel like he was getting tangled up with this morbid girl again?
anwhile, on the comrcial street, An Nuannuan, pushing her wheelchair, was gazing brightly at the various snack shops on either side...
