To ease his grandfather's mind, Xu Chunliang specially went to Ting Mei Breast Enhancement. In the few days since he returned, he noticed that their business was booming, with a steady stream of customers. With so many people, there were naturally a lot of cars, and they often occupied the open space in front of Huichun Hall.
Pei Lin rarely appeared, as she had more profitable pharmaceutical business to attend to. The operations at Ting Mei Breast Enhancement were mainly overseen by her cousin, Pei Yu.
During the opening, if it weren't for Xu Chunliang's timely intervention, the guest Lisa they invited might have lost her life. Ting Mei Breast Enhancement owed Xu Chunliang a significant favor for this. Later, Pei Yu specially gave him a 10,000 yuan voucher as a token of gratitude, but Xu Chunliang refused it. He had no use for such things and didn't believe in the effectiveness of Ting Mei Breast Enhancement. However, this incident also revealed Pei Yu's stinginess.
Xu Chunliang believed that Pei Yu should at least show him some respect, so he went directly to her.
Pei Yu was relatively polite to him, inviting him into her office and offering him a cup of tea. Although Ting Mei Breast Enhancement had been officially open for some time, this was Xu Chunliang's first visit. After all, the clients here were all women, and the services were private, making it inconvenient for men to come.
It was clear that a lot of effort had been put into the interior decoration. There were over a dozen employees, and their pink nurse uniforms were much more fitted than those in hospitals. These employees were carefully selected, with good figures and appearances, and they wore heavy makeup, making them look curvaceous. Otherwise, it would be hard to gain the trust of clients.
Xu Chunliang felt as if he had entered a brothel. No wonder his grandfather thought Ting Mei Breast Enhancement wasn't a legitimate business. However, their service targets were all women, and there was nothing illegal about it.
Xu Chunliang explained the reason for his visit.
Pei Yu explained that they had emphasized to almost every client to park their cars in front of Ting Mei Breast Enhancement, and they had even marked parking lines. However, the clients didn't take the reminders seriously and parked wherever there was space. She could only try her best to remind them.
Xu Chunliang sensed that Pei Yu was trying to shirk responsibility. Simply reminding them wouldn't solve the problem. He suggested that Pei Yu arrange for someone to guide the clients to park properly, as many cars were blocking the entrance to Huichun Hall, affecting their business.
Pei Yu didn't agree with this. The parking area was still some distance from Huichun Hall's entrance, and the poor business at Huichun Hall was not related to parking. Moreover, the area in front of Huichun Hall was public, and not all the cars parked there were their clients.
Xu Chunliang was annoyed. He had little contact with Pei Yu, and logically, they were in the wrong. He had come to discuss the issue, and she should have apologized first. However, Pei Yu showed no remorse and even mentioned that the area was public.
Xu Chunliang felt that this woman was ungrateful. If it weren't for his intervention, the grand opening of Ting Mei Breast Enhancement would have turned into a disaster. He thought that if he came to discuss the issue, she should have readily agreed to solve it. Instead, she kept making excuses, blaming the clients and showing no fault on her part.
Xu Chunliang didn't want to waste time arguing with her. The next day, he found that their clients were still parking in front of Huichun Hall, which made him angry. He was about to contact Pei Lin to resolve the issue, but before he could, the police came to his door.
The reason was that a client of Ting Mei Breast Enhancement had parked a new Porsche Cayenne in front of Huichun Hall, and it had been scratched. The police, based on the information they gathered, suspected Huichun Hall.
When the police came to investigate, Xu Chunliang was not at home, so they questioned Xu Changshan.
The police interrogated for a long time but had no evidence, so the matter was left unresolved. The Cayenne owner, however, was not satisfied and stood in front of Huichun Hall, hurling insults. Xu Changshan, who had always been kind and honest, was so angry that he almost fainted.
In a fit of anger, the old man asked the traffic police why they allowed illegal parking in front of his door. Such matters were usually ignored unless reported, but once reported, the police could not turn a blind eye.
That day, not only the cars parked in front of Huichun Hall but also those in front of Ting Mei Breast Enhancement were ticketed.
Pei Yu had previously contacted the traffic police. Upon learning that Xu Changshan had reported the issue, she was furious. Recalling Xu Chunliang's previous visit to discuss the parking problem, she retaliated by reporting Huichun Hall to the city management for illegal street vending.
The city management came and removed all the tables and chairs that the old man had placed outside. Xu Changshan was so angry that he didn't eat dinner that night.
After learning about the situation, Xu Chunliang was thoroughly enraged. He first contacted Lu Qi to get the tables and chairs back. His temper had improved a lot; in the past, he would have burned down Ting Mei Breast Enhancement.
Xu Chunliang and Lu Qi returned the tables and chairs to their original positions. Lu Qi, knowing that Xu Chunliang had a short temper, was afraid that he might do something irrational and reminded him that it was better to resolve the issue amicably. He had already contacted the city management, and such incidents would not happen again.
Xu Chunliang reassured him that he wouldn't stoop to a woman's level.
He wanted to invite Lu Qi to dinner, but Lu Qi said he had a night shift and reminded Xu Chunliang not to forget the drinking party Yu Mo had arranged for Saturday.
Xu Chunliang found it strange that Lu Qi, who usually avoided such gatherings, was so enthusiastic this time.
When Xu Chunliang was setting up the sunshade, Zheng Peian came over. He had just called the old man and noticed that his mood was off, so he came to check on him.
Xu Chunliang asked him to go inside and keep the old man company, as he was sulking.
The investigation into the scratched car revealed that it did not happen in front of Huichun Hall. It was found that the car was scratched in the client's own neighborhood, and the culprit had been identified.
Pei Yu felt regretful when she heard this. She was impulsive and had assumed that it was someone from Huichun Hall. Now that the truth was out, she realized her mistake.
It was understandable that the old man, feeling wronged, reported the illegal parking. However, her retaliation by reporting Huichun Hall to the city management seemed excessive, especially since Xu Chunliang had helped them in the past.
Despite her regret, Pei Yu would not go to apologize, fearing that Pei Lin would blame her. She didn't dare to tell Pei Lin about it.
When Pei Yu was leaving work, she saw that Xu Chunliang had already retrieved the tables and chairs and was setting up the sunshade. She hesitated about whether to greet him, but Xu Chunliang happened to look over at her.
Feeling guilty, Pei Yu gave an awkward smile, "I'm off work..."
Xu Chunliang nodded, smiling brightly, seemingly not suspecting her, "Closing up?"
"Um..." Pei Yu felt that her response was inappropriate. What did he mean by "closing up"? Her business was doing well, so why would she close? She couldn't tell if Xu Chunliang was being sincere or not, so she waved and left.
Zheng Peian managed to calm Xu Changshan down, showing him that the tables and chairs had been returned to their original positions.
Seeing the items back, Xu Changshan's anger subsided. Hearing that the culprit had been found, he was still somewhat angry, as he had never done anything wrong in his life and was wrongly accused of scratching the car.
Zheng Peian comforted him, "Isn't your name cleared now, sir?"
At that moment, several employees of Ting Mei Breast Enhancement were locking up and leaving. They were dressed provocatively, and Zheng Peian couldn't help but look.
One of the employees noticed and gave him a big eye roll, "What are you looking at? Haven't you seen women before?"
Zheng Peian blushed.
Xu Changshan sighed, "What a disgrace, what a disgrace."
Zheng Peian slapped his exposed arm, killing a black and white fly that had bitten him.
Autumn mosquitoes were venomous, so Xu Changshan asked Xu Chunliang to get the Huichun Hall's special cooling ointment from inside.
When Xu Chunliang went to get the ointment, he accidentally discovered the breast enhancement cream that had been casually placed on a wooden rack. The cap was covered with flies, likely attracted by the scent. The cream contained honey, a gift from Pei Lin. Xu Chunliang had no use for it and was worried about side effects, so he hadn't given it away. However, seeing the flies on the cream, he had an idea.
Ting Mei Breast Enhancement encountered some trouble. Clients who visited the store today generally complained about the excessive number of flies and mosquitoes. During the breast enhancement treatments, which required the chest to be exposed, flies kept flying around, and some even landed on the clients' chests, causing discomfort.
The staff explained that the breast enhancement cream contained honey, which attracted flies.
Many clients had allergic reactions that day, with red, swollen, itchy, and painful chests. Some even had full-body allergic reactions.
If it were just one client, it might have been a coincidence, but almost all the clients who visited that day had similar reactions. Some employees also had allergic reactions, but their hands were itchy.
These clients were wealthy and influential, and they immediately protested, questioning the hygiene standards at Ting Mei Breast Enhancement and suspecting that the breast enhancement cream was problematic.
Pei Yu apologized repeatedly and was forced to temporarily close the business, offering discounts to the clients. During the lunch break, she thoroughly cleaned the premises and hired professionals to disinfect every corner.
Pei Yu believed that the hygiene measures were thorough, and she was confident when she reopened the next day. However, she was met with a group of clients demanding their rights.
