Chapter 85

Ring, ring, ring…

Lin Fei’s phone suddenly rang.

“Hello.”

“Hello, is this Mr. Lin? We are the delivery personnel from TaoTao Wholesale. The goods you ordered yesterday are about to be delivered to your store.”

“Okay, I’m already at the store. You can drive the truck directly to the storefront.”

A short while later, Lin Fei waited at the entrance for the TaoTao Wholesale delivery truck.

It took some effort, but Lin Fei and the workers managed to move the delivered flowers into the store.

Once all the goods were unloaded and haphazardly placed on the ground of the first floor, and the delivery workers left, Lin Fei immediately pulled down the roller shutter. Then he began to use his ability to transform the flowers in his flower shop.

About twenty minutes later, Lin Fei reopened his flower shop. The flowers that were originally scattered on the ground were now neatly arranged on the shelves. If one paid close attention, these flowers had all been transformed into spirit plants.

Lin Fei looked around the flower shop, nodded in satisfaction with the placement of the flowers, and then took out his phone to take a photo of the interior.

Click.

He sent the photo to the group chat with Wang Xiaoru and Zhou Yue.

Lin Fei: This is my newly opened flower shop. It’s officially open for business today. Feel free to come by if you have time.

Wang Xiaoru: Why did you suddenly decide to open a flower shop?

Zhou Yue: Is the thing you’ve been busy with recently this flower shop?

Lin Fei: I’ve had the idea of opening a flower shop before. I suddenly remembered it recently, so I decided to go ahead and open one.

Zhou Yue: I’ll come to your flower shop with Xiaoru after we finish work tonight.

Lin Fei: Sure, come over after work. I can cook at the shop, so you can have dinner here!

Wang Xiaoru: Then we’ll go to the market after work and bring some ingredients over!

Lin Fei: No need for that. I’ve already prepared everything. Just come over.

Wang Xiaoru: Okay, that works.

Zhou Yue: I want to eat Mapo Tofu.

Lin Fei: I’ve got it, it’s already prepared.

…

Lin Fei was sitting behind the cash register chatting with Zhou Yue and Wang Xiaoru when a female voice suddenly came from outside, “Hello! I’m from the neighboring milk tea shop. I saw that a new store opened next door, so I came to check it out. Here’s a coconut milk tea from my shop, try it.”

Lin Fei looked up and saw a pretty short-haired girl with a youthful appearance, about his age, who had probably just graduated.

Lin Fei walked out from behind the counter and smiled, “Thank you. I’m Lin Fei, the owner of this flower shop. We’ll be neighbors from now on, so please take care of me. Here, take this money tree as a thank you.” Lin Fei took the milk tea she offered and picked up a money tree from a nearby shelf to give her.

“Thank you, I’m Lin Wan. If you need any help with your new store, feel free to come to us,” Lin Wan said with a smile.

“Sure, thanks,” Lin Fei replied.

“I’ll head back now. We can chat another time,” Lin Wan said.

“Sure, see you later.” Lin Fei saw Lin Wan out of his flower shop, watching her take the potted plant back to her shop. He then returned to the counter and started playing on his phone, waiting for his first customer.

“Lin Wan, what do you think of the young flower shop owner?” a young girl in the milk tea shop asked.

“Liu Zihan, what do you mean by ‘what do you think’?” Lin Wan asked curiously.

“Lin Wan, Zihan means, is he a nice person? Did he look at you in a bad way?” Lu Lu took the money tree from her hand.

“He looks about our age, and I didn’t expect him to open such a big flower shop on his own. I guess he must be a rich second generation,” Qin Qingqing, who wore glasses, analyzed.

“He’s called Lin Fei. He seems quite gentle, and he didn’t look at me in the way you described,” Lin Wan told her friends.

“No way, you were the top beauty in our school!” Liu Zihan said.

“Yeah, that’s not logical,” Qin Qingqing added.

“Stop teasing me. Hurry up and make the milk tea. We have a new order, and the delivery guy will be here soon,” Lin Wan said irritably.

“Lin Wan, where should I put this plant?” Lu Lu asked.

“Take it upstairs for now,” Lin Wan replied.

…

In the Ping An Flower Shop, Lin Fei was placing price tags. He set the price for cacti and cactus balls at 998 yuan, and the other flowers at 1998 yuan.

After setting all the prices, Lin Fei smiled in satisfaction, “Now everything is done. Without clear prices, it always feels unprofessional.”

At that moment, a middle-aged man walked in. He passed by every day and saw that the store, which had been under renovation for several days, was now open. He came in to take a look, but was immediately shocked by the prices on the shelves. These potted plants were very common, but their prices were 100 times higher than the market price. The owner must be crazy.

Lin Fei was about to greet his first customer, but before he could say anything, the man immediately turned and left the flower shop, muttering, “At these prices, only a fool would buy.”

“Those who can’t recognize the value of jade, that’s what this person is,” Lin Fei muttered to himself. He then returned to his cash register, waiting for someone who could appreciate the value to come in.

As the sun set, it was already evening. The streetlights were on, and the office workers who had worked all day started to leave. The flow of people on the street increased.

Lin Fei was sitting in his flower shop, bored, scrolling through his phone. Since the official opening in the morning, apart from the money tree he gave to the neighboring milk tea shop, he hadn’t sold a single potted plant. Many people came in, but they all turned and left after seeing the prices.

“It looks like the first day of business will end with zero sales. It’s about time for Xiaoru and Zhou Yue to come,” Lin Fei thought, checking the time on his phone.

Just as Lin Fei was about to close up, a middle-aged woman walked into the store. She approached a potted orchid, first surprised by its price, and then even more shocked because she was a cultivator. In her perception, this orchid was actually emitting spiritual energy and gathering it around itself.

“Spirit plants, these flowers are actually all spirit plants, and the prices are so reasonable,” the middle-aged woman thought in shock.

“Boss, I want this orchid and this money tree. Can I pay by mobile payment?” the woman asked.

“Finally, I’ve found someone who can appreciate the value,” Lin Fei thought. He then said, “Sure, you can pay by card or mobile payment.”
