To put his grandfather at ease, Xu Chunliang specifically took a trip to Pretty Beauty Bust, and upon returning these past few days, he noticed their business was indeed booming, with a constant stream of clients, naturally leading to more cars, almost daily occupying the space in front of Huichun Hall.
Pei Lin rarely appears; she has more lucrative medical business, so it's mostly her cousin Pei Yu who is in charge of Pretty Beauty Bust.
When they opened, if it weren't for Xu Chunliang stepping in bravely, their guest Lisa might have lost her life on the spot. In this matter, Pretty Beauty Bust owed Xu Chunliang a huge favor. Later, Pei Yu specifically gave him a voucher of ten thousand yuan as a token of gratitude, but Xu Chunliang didn't accept it; he had no use for it, and he didn't trust Pretty Beauty Bust's results. However, this incident showed Pei Yu's pettiness.
Xu Chunliang thought Pei Yu would at least give him some respect, so he went straight over.
Pei Yu was fairly polite, inviting him into the office and pouring him a cup of tea. Although Pretty Beauty had been officially open for a while, it was Xu Chunliang's first time entering. After all, the clients here are all women, and it deals with private matters, so it wasn't very convenient for men to visit.
The decoration clearly had a lot of effort put into it, with over a dozen employees. The pink nurse outfits fitted better than those in hospitals, and all the staff were carefully selected, with good figures and looks, heavily made-up, tightly fitted, making them all attractively curvy; otherwise, it wouldn't be easy to gain the clients' trust.
Xu Chunliang had an illusion of entering a tavern, no wonder his grandfather thought Pretty Beauty wasn't doing legitimate business. However, their clientele was all women, and there was nothing illegal about it.
Xu Chunliang explained his reason for coming.
After listening, Pei Yu explained that they had almost told every client to try to park in front of Pretty Beauty, and they had also painted parking lines, but clients didn't heed the reminders, parking wherever there was space. She could only keep reminding them.
Xu Chunliang could sense Pei Yu was shirking responsibility; reminders alone couldn't solve the problem. He suggested Pei Yu could arrange for someone to guide clients on parking, to avoid chaotic parking, as many clients parked blocking Huichun Hall's entrance, which was already affecting their business.
Pei Yu inwardly disagreed; the parking area for clients was quite a distance from Huichun Hall's entrance, and Huichun Hall's poor business shouldn't be related to parking. Furthermore, the area in front of Huichun Hall was public, and it wasn't necessarily their clients parking there.
Xu Chunliang was getting annoyed. He hadn't interacted much with Pei Yu. Logically, they were at fault in this matter, so when he came to them, the least they should do was apologize, but Pei Yu didn't show any remorse and even mentioned it was a public area.
Xu Chunliang felt this woman didn't know gratitude; if it wasn't for him previously, Pretty Beauty Bust's grand opening would have turned into a disaster. He was trying to discuss this matter with them; wouldn't it be easier if they agreed to solve it promptly? Instead, she went on about it like it was all the clients' fault, with no shortcomings of her own.
Xu Chunliang was not in the mood to talk more; the day after discussing the matter, he found their clients were still parking there. Xu Chunliang got a bit angry and planned to contact Pei Lin to solve the problem, but before he could, the police came to him first.
The reason was that a client of Pretty Beauty Bust had parked their newly acquired Porsche Cayenne in front of Huichun Hall, and it got scratched. The police considered Huichun Hall suspicious based on what they gathered.
The police came to investigate when Xu Chunliang was not at home, so they had to ask Xu Changshan about the situation.
After questioning for a long time without any evidence, the matter was left unresolved. The Cayenne owner, however, wasn't letting it go, standing at Huichun Hall's entrance cursing indirectly. Xu Changshan, who had been charitable and upright all his life, couldn't stand being accused of such things, getting so furious that he nearly passed out.
In his rage, Elder Xu asked the traffic police why they were ignoring illegal parking at the entrance. This kind of issue is usually overlooked unless someone complains, but once reported, the traffic police couldn't ignore it.
That day, not only were the cars in front of Huichun Hall ticketed, but also those in front of Pretty Beauty Bust.
Pei Yu had previously spoken to the traffic police, and upon asking around, realized it was Xu Changshan who had reported them. Remembering Xu Chunliang had visited to discuss the parking issue earlier, she got angry and retaliated the same way by reporting Huichun Hall to the urban management for obstructing pathways with their operations.
The urban management came and took away all the tables and chairs placed at the entrance by Elder Xu, which made him so furious he didn't even eat that night.
Upon learning of the situation, Xu Chunliang was thoroughly angered. He first asked Lu Qi to help retrieve the tables and chairs. His temper had improved considerably; in the past, he would have surely set Pretty Beauty Bust on fire.
In the past, Xu Chunliang had no real family, but now he not only had a family, but his grandfather cherished him greatly. Xu Chunliang finally understood the meaning of family affection, and he cherished it deeply. He might be able to tolerate it if it were directed at him, but bullying his grandfather was absolutely unacceptable.
Lu Qi, along with Xu Chunliang, got the tables and chairs back, helping him set up the outdoor furniture back in the original place. Lu Qi knew Xu Chunliang had a bad temper, worried the kid might do something irrational in a fit of anger, reminded him that enemies should be reconciled, not made. A little compromise from everyone and it would be settled. He had already spoken to the urban management responsible for the area to prevent similar incidents from happening again.
Xu Chunliang assured him not to worry, that he wouldn't argue with a woman.
He intended to invite Lu Qi for a meal, but Lu Qi told him he was on night shift, reminding him not to forget the Saturday dinner gathering arranged by Yu Mo.
Xu Chunliang found it odd, as Lu Qi usually resisted such invite gatherings, yet this time seemed exceptionally enthusiastic.
As Xu Chunliang was setting up the sunshade, Zheng Peian arrived. He happened to call Elder Xu earlier today and sensed something was off with Elder Xu's mood, so he came over specifically to check on him.
Xu Chunliang asked him to go inside and keep his grandpa company; the old man was sulking.
The issue of the client's car being scratched had already been investigated, and it turned out not to have happened in front of Huichun Hall. The investigation revealed that the client's car was actually scratched in her own residential area, and the culprit has now been found.
Pei Yu regretted hearing about this incident. She was a bit impulsive and was convinced at the time that the people at Huichun Hall were responsible. Now that the truth was out, it proved her judgment wrong.
Elder Xu was wronged, and it was understandable for him to impulsively report them for illegal parking. However, her reporting Huichun Hall to the city management for obstructing business as an act of revenge seemed a bit excessive, especially since Xu Chunliang had helped them in the past.
Regret as she might, the deed was done, and Pei Yu wouldn't go to apologize. She worried that if Pei Lin found out about this, she would be blamed, so she dared not tell Pei Lin.
When Pei Yu left after work, she saw that Xu Chunliang had already gotten the tables and chairs back and was setting up the sunshade. She hesitated whether to go over and greet him, and just at that moment, Xu Chunliang looked over at her.
Feeling guilty, Pei Yu gave a slightly awkward smile, "Off work..."
Xu Chunliang nodded, smiling brightly, showing no suspicion towards her at all, "Closed up?"
"Uh..." After replying, Pei Yu felt something was off. What did he mean by closed up? How could I have closed when business is going well? She couldn't figure out if Xu Chunliang was being unintentional or deliberate, waved her hand at him, and drove off.
Zheng Peian managed to persuade Xu Changshan to come out and see that all his tables and chairs had been retrieved and restored to their original places.
Seeing the things returned, Xu Changshan's anger decreased a bit. Upon hearing that the car scratch culprit had been found, the old man was still a bit angry. He had lived a long life and never did anything shameful, yet he was suspected of scratching a car.
Zheng Peian smiled and comforted him, "Hasn't your innocence been restored now?"
Just then, several employees of Prosperous Beauty Breast Enhancement were closing up and leaving, each dressed in a flamboyant and revealing way, making Zheng Peian unable to resist sneaking a few more glances.
One of the employees noticed and rolled her eyes dramatically at him, "What are you looking at? Never seen a woman before?"
Zheng Peian blushed a deep red.
Xu Changshan sighed, "What a scandalous sight, truly scandalous."
Slap! Zheng Peian smacked his own bare arm hard, killing a black and white mosquito that had already sucked quite a bit of his blood.
Autumn mosquitoes are vicious, so Xu Changshan asked Xu Chunliang to go inside and get the Huichun Hall's special cooling balm.
When Xu Chunliang went to get the cooling balm, he unintentionally noticed the breast enhancement cream that had been casually placed on the wooden rack earlier. There were two flies on the lid, likely attracted by the smell. The breast enhancement cream contained honey and was a gift from Pei Lin. Xu Chunliang didn't use it himself and, worried about potential side effects, hadn't dared to give it away. But seeing the flies on the cream, he suddenly got an idea.
Prosperous Beauty Breast Enhancement encountered a problem. Customers complained that there were too many mosquitoes and flies in the store today, and when undergoing the breast enhancement procedure, they had to expose their chests, with flies constantly buzzing around during physical therapy. Even more irritating, flies were landing on their chests, making it unbearably itchy.
The staff explained that the breast enhancement cream was rich in honey, which attracted the flies.
Many customers developed allergic reactions on the same day, with their chests swelling, itching, and pain, and some even experiencing full-body allergic reactions.
If it was just one customer, it might not be a big deal, but it happened to almost all the customers that day, indicating it wasn't a coincidence. Some employees also got it, though their hands were itching.
These customers were either rich or noble, and they promptly protested, questioning the hygiene practices of Prosperous Beauty Breast Enhancement and suspecting issues with their cream.
Pei Yu repeatedly apologized, and finally, she had to close temporarily, promising discounts to customers. During the lunch break, they conducted a thorough cleaning both inside and out, hiring specialists for pest control, not leaving any corner untouched.
Pei Yu believed that the hygienic measures were thoroughly implemented this time. Filled with confidence for the next day's opening, she was instead met with a collective protest from customers.
