Chapter 256: In Abundance

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

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.
