Even Jin Yuyu, who had seen much of the world, was thoroughly shocked at this moment. The gold on the God of Wealth was not the most precious item, as the hat on its head, under the sunlight, was also faintly glittering, upon closer inspection it was actually made of black jade. Even the eyes, beard, and teeth that showed during a smile of the God of Wealth were all inlaid with jade.
Such a grand gesture was probably only within the means of Young Master of Fuman Building, right?
Jin Yuyu’s look towards Lin Yuan became even more complex. She had previously guessed that Lin Yuan was acquainted with Shopkeeper Liu, but had never expected the real close relationship to be with the Young Master! Others might not know, but she knew that the Young Master of Fuman Building was even more mysterious and elusive than the old Boss.
This Lin Yuan, seemingly unremarkable in appearance, actually hid such a significant background. Was she really just a simple little village girl?
Jin Yuyu’s conjecture was also the guess of everyone present. Even Jin Lingling, who always stayed hidden and looked down on making an appearance, was greatly shocked as well. She had originally planned to bring people to embarrass Lin Yuan today, but she did not expect Jin Yuyu, that wretch, to be there too, and not only her, but Shopkeeper Liu from Fuman Building as well, and of course, the most astonishing was the gift from the Young Master.
Jin Lingling sneered and looked disdainfully at the little wretch who, even in nice clothes, could not hide her rural air.
Gifts, no person, Lin Yuan said she wasn’t sad, that would be a lie. It felt as if the heart she had been holding suddenly got heavily thrown back into her stomach, that solid, ringing, forceful sound made her so uncomfortable that she clenched her clothes tightly.
This guy, she could not care less about some God of Wealth made of gold!
Still, having a gift was better than receiving no word at all, wasn’t it? It meant that even though he was far away in Jiangnan, his heart was always with her.
Upon realizing this, Lin Yuan smiled and waved her hand, signaling Liuzi and Lin Yi to carry the God of Wealth into the front hall and temporarily place it on the counter. After the hustle of the next few days, she was determined to have Lin Changqing make her an exceedingly lavish cabinet specifically for this God of Wealth.
The auspicious time had come, Lin Yuan nodded towards Liuzi, who shouted, "The auspicious moment has arrived, please, Boss, open the business!"
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, and in the tearfully joyful gaze of Lady Liu, Lin Yuan, pushing Lin Jiaxin, came to the front center of the entrance of Rice Flower Fragrance. Father and son each reached out, grabbed the corners of the red silk hung on the signboard, exchanged smiles, and with effort, pulled down the silk.
The signboard with its red background and golden letters shone brightly; the three big characters of Rice Flower Fragrance glittered, and though not made of pure gold, they were no less impressive than the God of Wealth just revealed.
The signboard was unveiled, and Lin Ershuan and Little Iron Head each held up a string of red small firecrackers and lit them.
Amid the crackling sounds of the firecrackers, Lin Yuan happily shouted towards the crowd outside, "Rice Flower Fragrance is open for good luck! All our neighbors and friends, everything is 20% off today, and there are free pastries at the entrance for everyone to enjoy. Welcome and give us your support!"
No sooner had the words left her lips than people swarmed in from the entrance. Liuzi and Lin Yi hurried to maintain order to prevent any issues.
Lin Yuan stood at the entrance and watched her first store finally open successfully, her heart blooming with joy. Who called her Little Disaster Star? She was clearly a Lucky Star! Thinking back to the struggles she had gone through in Lin family hollow, and looking at the bustling scene before her, Lin Yuan believed that as long as she worked hard, better days were just around the corner.
