When Ruan Yingyin entered the apartment on Saturday, the landlord had already tidied up the room.

 

This morning after she sent the parcel of the skincare lotion, she made a special trip over and wiped the corners of the room once more.

 

Ruan Yingyin told the workers of the moving company to put the luggage in the living room, and then she started unpacking herself.

 

There were two people on each floor of the building, each living across the corridor and just in front of her room. In the corridor across her room, a young couple lived. Today is Sunday, so they didn’t go to work. Seeing Ruan Yingyin, a high school girl in the room, they were very surprised.

 

“Why are you here by yourself? Where’s your mom and dad?” The young wife asked curiously as she stood outside Ruan Yingyin’s door, biting into an apple.

 

Ruan Yingyin was wearing an apron with cartoon hamsters printed on it. Her hair was tied up in a ponytail with the same hamster hairband. Her sleeves rolled up, as she was busy packing one thing after another.

 

She looked up at the sound of the woman’s voice and replied, “My mother died in a car accident.” She paused before finishing, “I don’t have a father.”

 

The young wife froze for a moment and said apologetically, “I’m so sorry. Do you need my help? I can call my husband out to help you.”

 

Ruan Yingyin quickly shook her head: “No, thank you. I don’t have much stuff, I can do it myself.”

 

The young wife looked at Ruan Yingyin with sympathy, finished the apple in a few bites, and called her husband who was playing games. Both of them insisted on helping Ruan Yingyin.

 

Ruan Yingyin felt a little helpless.

 

She was very grateful for the kindness of these people, but she is a clean freak and has OCD. Even if they help her clean up, she will have to clean them all over again in the end.

 

But Ruan Yingyin really couldn’t refuse their good intentions either. So she could only helplessly nod.

 

After the things were almost unpacked, the young couple went back. Before leaving, they said to Ruan Yingyin, “If you need anything, call us ok? Although I’m not good at studying, my husband can help you. He was a top student!”

 

The shy little husband smiled a little embarrassedly.

 

Ruan Yingyin eyes lit up at the offer, “Really?”

 

She was most worried about her academic performance recently. Now it’s in the middle of September, the first monthly exam will be held at the end of September.

 

If she failed the exam, what would she do?

 

“Of course!” The young wife answered directly in spite of her young husband.

 

“Thank you.” Ruan Yingyin took out two chocolates from her pocket and handed one to each of them, “You can have these chocolates, they’re very sweet.”

 

And she had been carrying them for a long time, so it would be good to eat them before they expired.

 

But Ruan Yingyin didn’t say it to the couple.

 

The little wife gleefully took it: “Ah, I like eating chocolate the most. Thanks to Xiao Yin Yin, I can have some today. Sleep early, don’t be afraid to live alone. We are right in front of you, feel free to find us if you have any problem!”

 

Ruan Yingyin nodded and saw the young couple entering the apartment in front of hers and closed the door.

 

She cleaned up the places that didn’t look clean again, and then looked around her new home.

 

It was neat, clean and spacious.

 

And the most important thing is that –

 

The landlord had left all the furniture, including a king-sized bed.

 

The reason why Ruan Yingyin decided to take this apartment is because of the bed, which took up almost the entire master bedroom.

 

Five adults can freely lie down on it. She can roll and roll and roll around again and again on it but still wouldn’t fall. Most importantly, it can help her produce a lot of skincare lotion at one time!

 

Ruan Yingyin filled the remaining 60 glass bottles with mineral water, sealed them, neatly placed them on the king-sized bed while leaving an empty space in the middle for herself.

 

She lay down comfortably on the bed and let out a sigh of relief.

 

After lying down, she took out the new phone she bought for business purposes and opened it.

 

This world of book’s micro business is a lot more developed and is very similar to Taobao.

 

But the number of people selling there was very low. Like Ruan Yingyin, she only sold three skin care products and already got on top three.

 

This was actually very bad news for her. Ruan Yingyin felt that she still needed to spread the news of her skincare product as soon as possible. She needed to do the formalities and set her business on the formal platform.

 

But the problem was to do this, she had to appear in front of everyone. Which may have caught Jiang Xingyuan’s attention.

 

If Jiang Xingyuan finds out and asks her about it, she wouldn’t be able to explain the source of her skincare lotion. And if she didn’t, she would probably be tortured by Jiang Xingyuan to confess the truth.

 

So Ruan Yingyin thought it would be better to find someone as her business partner.

 

Just like the current Jiang Xingyuan. Isn’t he also someone who opened a business but has kept people to manage while he is hiding behind the curtain?

 

But where can she find a partner? Who will be best for it?

 

Ruan Yingyin couldn’t think of a suitable person for the time being, so she pushed away the thoughts and decided to ponder over it later.

 

She looked around at the 60 bottles of skincare lotion, and updated a post.

 

#Silver Hamster Brand’s Skin Whitening and Softening Lotion.

 

You guys have been waiting a long time, the Silver Hamster Brand’s Skin Softener has produced 60 bottles of lotion this time! After all, I just started the business so the number of products was a little less the previous time. The price of this batch’s lotion is 888 yuan. But it will increase in the future, depending on the sale and popularity. Hurry up and order it before they are sold! My lotion’s beautifying effect is top notch!

 

After she posted, a message from Yang Tong came the next second as if he had been waiting for it.

 

Yang Tong sent a private message to Ruan Yingyin: “Is this skincare lotion very effective?”

 

Yang Tong is currently Ruan Yingyin’s biggest customer, so she immediately replied, “Yes, dear customer. I also use my Silver Hamster Brand’s skin care lotion and let me tell you, the whitening and softening of the skin is really incredible! And there are no side effects either. You will know once you use it.”

 

Yang Tong: “I bought a batch of lotion, when will I receive it?”

 

Ruan Yingyin: “27 bottles were sent out yesterday. I’ve already received a confirmation message. The 5 bottles you bought for pre-sale were sent out this morning, and you should receive the rest tomorrow morning.”

 

Yang Tong: “Okay, I was actually thinking of changing the address.”

 

That day he was too eager and used the address of school. But when he took out the skincare lotion he bought to use, his mother found it and snatched it away.

 

And his mother told him to send the rest of the lotions at home.

 

Ruan Yingyin: “Oh, but sorry ah. Next time, please change the address before the parcel is sent.”

 

Yang Tong: “Okay.”

 

Ruan Yingyin exited the chat interface and looked at the screen. No one has bought her 60 bottles of lotions yet.

 

She knew the reason why the previous 30 bottles were bought quickly. It was because everyone was curious and bought them in a hurry.

 

But today, it is the weekend and everyone went back to their homes. So there aren’t many people buying.

 

After all, they still haven’t experienced the magic of her skincare lotion.

 

And Yang Tong, he was enough as her prospective customer. She could only hope to get more in the future.

Ruan Yingyin also counted the students of Qinzhong as her prospective buyers. But she was also thinking of looking at the wide sky outside*.

 

 

[T/N: An idiom similar to ‘Spreading your wings’. In this sentence, it means Ruan Yingyin wants to spread her business further. Not too sure if I’m right. Feel free to point it out.]

 

So she didn’t set the price too high. She knew that the Ruan Group’s skincare lotion was sold for 1288 yuan per bottle. If her Silver Hamster Brand’s lotion is more pricey than that, like how she used to sell it at 8888 yuan per bottle, it wouldn’t be competitive.

 

So she set the price at 888 yuan a bottle. It doesn’t cost much anyway, as long as she can produce more every day!

 

She had to produce a lot of her lotion. She absolutely couldn’t lose sleep and had to go to sleep early.

 

Ruan Yingyin put down her phone, laid down in the middle of the glass bottle, closed her eyes and fell asleep.

 

****

 

The young couple across the corridor from Ruan Yingyin also intended to turn off the lights and go to sleep, when someone called them.

 

The young wife raised her head and asked her husband a little anxiously, “Who called so late at night?”

 

The young husband was also confused: “I don’t know.”

 

He picked it up and turned on the speakerphone.

 

“Hello, is this Mr. Li who lives in 1201 Building, Unit 3, Block 1, Wanhua District?” Jiang Xingyuan leaned back in his swivel chair, his legs raised on the desktop. Holding the report Cheng Yang had just delivered, he said on the phone.

 

The young husband froze for a moment before replying, “I am. May I ask who you are?”

 

“My surname is Ruan.” The corner of Jiang Xingyuan’s mouth raised in a smile, “Did a high school student named Ruan Yingyin move in across your apartment this afternoon?”

 

The young husband and wife looked at each other, “Yes, may I ask who you are?”

 

“I’m Ruan Yingyin’s brother.” Jiang Xingyuan’s eyes flashed with sadism when he uttered the word ‘brother’, “She had a quarrel with her family and ran away from home. I found out that she moved into your neighborhood.”

 

The young husband and wife breathed a sigh of relief: “So that’s what it was. I saw her this afternoon and thought it was strange. How can a little girl come out to live by herself? It wasn’t safe at all. She lives across the corridor from us. Do you need me to call her to answer the phone for you?”

 

 

 

“No need.” Jiang Xingyuan refused, “She’s very stubborn, I’m afraid she’ll change her address again when she finds out I found it. Please keep it a secret and don’t alarm her.”

 

The young couple nodded, “Okay.”

 

“The reason I’m calling you guys is to talk about something.” Jiang Xingyuan put his leg down from the table, stood up and took a red wine glass before saying, “I want to buy your apartment at three times the market price.”

 

**

 

On Monday morning, the students were in very low spirits.

 

When Yang Tong got off from the car, his mother urged him, “Don’t forget to bring the lotion home.”

 

“Got it.” Yang Tong replied and went to the school mailroom to pick up the skincare lotion.

 

A total of two parcels were delivered. One with 27 bottles and the other with 5 bottles.

 

In addition to him, there were also a few girls in the sophomore class 6 who had the same parcels.

 

Among them, Li Tong and Cui Qingyan also had one each.

 

Ruan Yingyin arrived at school early, and when she saw Yang Tong entering the classroom, her eyes lit up. She looked around his face and praised from the bottom of her heart, “Classmate Yang, the acne marks on your face seem to have faded a bit. And you’ve become slightly fairer.”

 

Yang Tong put the skincare lotion on the table and turned to Ruan Yingyin and said happily, “Really? You feel the same way, right? I also feel the same way myself. My mom also said that!”

 

 

Lin Meng walked in with a comic book just at that time. Sniffing, he came up to Yang Tong and took a careful look on his face. Surprise shone in his eyes looking at Yang Tong, “Really, Yang Tong tell me the truth. Did you really not go to your mother’s salon this weekend?”

 

Yang Tong immediately flared up: “beauty salons are all useless ah!”

 

“Oh, I forgot. You stopped going there.” Lin Meng sat down before analysing on his own, “Is this lotion really so amazing? Try for a few more days, if it really works, I’ll buy some for my mom.”

 

Li Tong and Cui Qingyan came in from the back door. Hearing them talking, they stopped and their gazes reached Yang Tong’s face. Their faces showed surprise the moment they reached his face.

 

The state of Yang Tong’s skin was very bad. They were aware of it because they saw it with their own eyes.

 

But just in a weekend, Yang Tong’s skin condition really improved a lot.

 

They looked at the parcel in their hands, went back to their seat and opened the parcel before taking out the skincare lotion and holding it in their hands.

 

The bottle of the skincare lotion was very simple. It was nothing special than a glass bottle, not even a trademark was stamped on it. But the transparent liquid inside looked really beautiful under the sunlight. It was glowing, making whoever sees it feel very eager to try.

 

The two of them opened the lid, poured out a bit of lotion and rubbed it on their hands.

 

The feeling was smooth, tender, a very comfortable touch.

 

“Wow, this lotion is really good.”

 

“Yeah, do you guys want to try it? I saw Yang Tong’s skin really improved a little bit. It’s only been a few days, right?”

 

“Really? If you guys say so, I will also buy one and use it.”

 

“It does seem to have a very comfortable feeling.”

 

“Right, right!”

 

“Do you have any more here? Give me a bottle. I want to try it. And if it turns out good, I’ll buy one too.”

 

“I only bought a bottle the other day.”

 

“I also only bought one bottle. Because I thought it would have a harmful effect, I didn’t buy too much.”

 

“But Yang Tong has ah. I saw him buying a lot.”

 

As soon as Yang Tong heard this, he immediately held the parcel on the table in his arms.

 

The female students in the class also surrounded Yang Tong.

 

“My mother is still waiting for me to take it home! What are you guys doing!”

 

“Yang Dahei, don’t be stingy. Give me a bottle, just one bottle.”

 

“Get your own, I even saw another 60 bottles last night.”

 

“I’ll try yours first, I’ll go buy more when it turns out good. And I’ll also buy an extra bottle and return it to you.”

 

The students in the class knew Yang Tong was good to people and so messed with him.

 

They all laughed and made fun of him.

 

Just at that time, Jiang Xingyuan entered the classroom.
