Staying at home to work was a better option, and the job that suited her was to open an online store.
She had also decided what to sell, her painting skills.
Drawing portraits for others, one hundred yuan per portrait wasn’t expensive, someone should be willing to pay.
To set up an online store, An Ruo had fussed over her shop for several days, learning business strategies from all over, and while the process was tough, she was happy.
Everyone harbors a dream of opening a store, and she had realized that dream. Even if the shop was virtual and not very large, it was enough for her to feel a sense of achievement.
In the first few days, nobody placed orders. Many just asked a few questions and left, not intending to make a transaction.
An Ruo thought about it every day until she finally figured out what the problem was.
If she just opened the store and did business this way, people definitely wouldn’t trust her, or rather, they didn’t trust her skills. She should draw a few portrait paintings and display them in her store so that people could see her skills.
So she painted several portraits of celebrities and put them up in her store.
In less than two days, finally someone placed an order.
An Ruo was very happy. Even though it was only one hundred yuan, she seriously helped others draw and package the portraits before taking them downstairs to mail.
Probably her painting skills were good, and she herself was also pleasant. Her first customer referred several clients to her, and one after another, new customers came.
Just like that, in the first month, An Ruo made two thousand yuan, which was almost the same as what she had earned from working hard at her previous job.
She had finally found her career goal, which was to run an online store and let more people know about her painting skills. This way, she could earn money and satisfy her interests and hobbies, killing two birds with one stone.
While An Ruo was wholeheartedly devoted to her online store business in G city, Tang Yuchen had gone to the public security bureau to apply for her death certificate in J city.
Everyone thought she had fallen into the sea and could not be found, dead.
Tang Yuchen couldn’t bear the news of her death, one day suddenly fainted, and came down with a serious illness, staying home to recuperate for a month.
After recovering, he decided to travel abroad for a while, as a form of healing.
Only when he confirmed that he had really gone overseas, and the buzz had died down, did Yun Feiyang decide to visit An Ruo in G city.
He had called her beforehand, so An Ruo had made preparations early to welcome him.
Seeing her, Yun Feiyang was very happy.
Not only because he hadn’t seen her for a long time, but also because An Ruo had gained some weight and looked healthy.
Learning she had been running an online store and seeing her doing well, with her life’s focus shifted onto the business, he was even more happy for her.
At least this way she wouldn’t think about those sad things anymore, at least she had found a goal in life, a meaning to carry on.
An Ruo brewed a cup of tea for him, sat beside him, and asked with a puzzled look, "Feiyang, is it okay for you to come see me? Has Tang Yuchen given you any trouble, any problems?"
Yun Feiyang laughed and said, "He would like to trouble me, but he has no evidence to prove that you were taken away by me. And besides, he will not come looking for you anymore."
"Why?" An Ruo asked in surprise.
Yun Feiyang then told her everything. It turned out that after she left with him that day, he had someone sink Tang Yuchen’s car into the sea to create the illusion of her death.
Tang Yuchen had never been able to recover her body, nor find her, and ultimately had to accept that she was dead.
He even went to the public security bureau to apply for her death certificate.
