In fact, the wives of the Repulse Bay Villa were also watching. As rich wives, they were not just enjoying their lives. They had their own social circle.
Lu Wanggui only dealt strictly with business. Men could not reach him, but their wives could try another approach. However, the Lu family did not have a mistress before, so they could not showcase their abilities.
Later, Lu Wanggui got married. They were not sure how long this marriage would last. At the same time, they did not know what kind of person Xiang Xiaoyuan was, so they did not dare to act rashly.
Now, there was nothing left to speculate. Not only did Xiang Xiaoyuan subdued Lu Wanggui, she even subdued Lu Wanggui’s son. Her ability was enough for her to gain a foothold in the Lu family.
Since they lived in the same area and bumped into each other often, it was better to have a good relationship than to be strangers. Thinking of this, the group of ladies became active again,
Mrs. Sun: [ We all live in the same place. Mrs. Lu opened the shop to make it convenient for everyone. Should we go and support her? ]
Mrs. Qian: [ I think we should go. When should we go? ]
Mrs. Li: [ Right now. It’s not good if it’s too late. ]
Mrs. Wang: [ Okay, let’s freshen up and see you later. ]
At around 11:30 am, a few ladies came over in a group. Xiang Xiaoyuan had known them before and was not unfamiliar with them. She warmly greeted them.
The ladies looked around the convenience store. They had originally planned to use the opportunity to buy things to get closer to Xiang Xiaoyuan. However, the convenience store was not big, and the items on the shelves were snacks and other daily necessities. Even if the shelves were emptied, it would not cost much.
Some ladies wanted to add Xiang Xiaoyuan on Wechat and get her into the wives’ group for future communication. However, they were all rich ladies and were used to being high and mighty, so they did not want to act inferior, especially to Xiang Xiaoyuan, who was much younger than them… This made them even more embarrassed.
In the end, each of them spent a few hundred yuan. When it was time to settle the bill, Mrs. Sun held Xiang Xiaoyuan with a big smile on her face. “Mrs. Lu, your convenience store is really good. I always felt that there was something lacking in our neighborhood, but now that I look at it, it’s just too dull. Your store has really made it lively.”
Xiang Xiaoyuan smiled modestly. “It’s not as good as you say, Mrs. Sun. I was just bored. Because of this, Old Lu even said that I’m not serious when I do things and that I must do everything to the best of my ability, causing me to be under a lot of pressure.”
Lu Bei, who was not far away, was stunned for a while when he heard the term ‘Old Lu’. When he realized that ‘Old Lu’ was referring to his father, his face was slightly distorted.
He had never heard anyone call his father that way, and he had never thought that his father would accept being called “Old Lu”.
Mrs. Sun’s smile deepened. “CEO Lu has high expectations, which is why his business is booming. Oh right, Mrs. Lu, I didn’t have much contact with you before, so I didn’t have the chance to get to know you. We all live in the same neighborhood. In the future, when you have time, come out more often. Let’s have a chat and drink tea. What do you think?”
Xiang Xiaoyuan certainly wouldn’t refuse.
She had heard a saying before. Men fought in the business world, and women also had their own battlefield. The wives of the same circle would share resources and connections. Now that she had become Mrs. Lu after transmigrating, she would not abandon the connections that came with this identity. She wanted to make money, a lot of money. If these wives shared a little bit about the stock market, it was already enough for her to make a lot of money.
Moreover, they were also her potential customers. It was necessary to have a good relationship with the customers. This convenience store was just the beginning. She would do more things in the future. The prerequisite for all of this was that she needed to have connections.
Xiang Xiaoyuan smiled and replied, “Of course, I’m very free every day. I don’t know what I should do. Don’t forget to call me if you have any gatherings next time.”
As she spoke, she saw a pool of water on the ground. It was probably spilled on the ground when a customer was drinking water. The convenience store was crowded with people, and most of the people who came in and out were old people. It would be bad if they slipped and fell.
She chatted with the ladies while glancing around. Xu Xiyao was busy with the cashier while Wei Zihang was nowhere to be seen. He should have gone to the warehouse to restock. Only Lu Bei was tidying up the shelves beside him.
She called out to him naturally, “Lu Bei, go to the storage room and get a mop. Clean up the water on the floor here.”
Xiang Xiaoyuan was the type of person who would hit a snake with a stick. If you took a step back, she could take three steps forward. Lu Bei wanted to apologize on behalf of An Yu, so Xiang Xiaoyuan had qualms ordering him around.
