Chapter 168 - I need payment for this injustice Part 6

Platinum plaza complex is a newly built bundle of villas in the northern part of Hangzhou city.

After the unsettling series of events, Shi Meng chose one of the villas in this property to be their new home and he and his mother promptly moved here this week.

Their villa was one of the top-grade villas which covered a lot of territories.

They had a big private garden, a flower garden, and even a personal golf course within their main gate.

This new one was even several times bigger than their old traditional family villa.

Only after a lot of inspection and makeover, Mama Meng satisfactorily nodded and agreed to move here.

But she was still upset that her set of friends were all living in the prestigious heart of the city and not in the northern part like them.

She couldn't help but feel like a second hand freshly rich newcomer, who just spent buckets of money to impress other people.

Though her concerns were eased the next instant.

As her precious son was flipping over the newspaper and reading something while munching on his morning breakfast, Mama Meng noticed a piece of front-page news about their new innovation in the computer software department, making their processing chips a front runner in the industry.

Mama Meng nodded satisfactorily.

Meng industries had a solid foothold in several areas and her status could not be usurped that easily by some two-trick pony!

She proudly placed some more fruits on Shi Meng's plate and browsed her phone with a wide grin propped up on her face.

After a few seconds, the grin slowly turned into a condescending sneer.

"Look at this kiddo. That sŀut is actually starting a proper cosmetic shop this time around."

She then obnoxiously slapped her thɨġh and laughed.

"I still remember the last time when Grandpa Su drove her away from a makeshift shop in the middle of the night. How ridiculous?! It takes a special kind of stupidity to not understand their limits and keep trying again and again. Hmph."

Shi Meng immediately dropped the newspaper in his hand, and almost choked on the food.

"Mom. Mom. Please. For god's sake, don't go near her. She is a stranger to us. Let's not be involved in anything related to her at all. Please?"

Mama Meng was instantly surprised at her son's abrupt change in attitude.

"Did something happen kiddo? Even the other day, you seemed to intentionally avoid her?"

Shi Meng nodded in silence. "Nothing like that."

He didn't want to bring his mother into this mess.

"Kiddo listen to me. I know you are brilliant and everything, but sometimes your mother knows the best. Instead of letting a mad dog loose on the streets, it is better to put it down once and for all."

He rubbed his eyebrows and patted his mom.

He then looked deep into her eyes, to make sure she heard him, "Please mom. Just do this one thing for me. I am running a company. I don't want to get involved in these cheap fights."

Mama Meng looked at her with a weird expression on her face.

He had cornered her, and she had no choice but to obediently agree. But there was a faint twinkle in her eyes.

Di Di Di…

Shi Meng's phone rang, and he gave a quick peck on his mother's forehead.

"I am leaving for office. Please stay out of trouble." He affectionately reminded her again.

Though he had a heavy feeling in his heart, as he left for work. Will his mom really stay out of trouble?

He couldn't help but think that if she had treated Su Lin better in the first place, none of this would have ever happened…

Shi Meng left home with a lot of complex emotions in his eyes. He did not regret anything though. The woman was extremely dangerous after all.

.....

The weekend arrived sooner than expected and Runyan was bustling about here and there making sure everything was prepared perfectly.

Even after the end of the infamous hand made products era, where Su Lin and Runyan literally prepared herbal mixtures laboriously and painstakingly with their hands, Su Lin still insisted on setting the prices at a higher tier.

If the prices suddenly drop after their hiatus, the public might suspect them and think that their product quality had considerably decreased.

And moreover, their main target was still the wealthy 1% population. These people especially considered the more expensive items to be better-quality products.

They might even consider downgrading to buy something cheap.

At first, Su Lin was surprised at this stupid notion, but after living on this planet for more than a year, she had a pretty good grasp of how everything worked.

The shop in general had a very simple and elegant theme, totally in line with their posh high-end products.

The entire store was sectioned into five different regions, with the Nourishing hair oil section placed in a corner of the shop.

Technically it was their best-selling product and should have been placed at front and center, but there was a certain stigma that was ȧssociated with baldness.

So Su Lin was pretty sure that people would hesitate to patronage the shop in broad daylight if the spotlight was on this particular product.

Instead, after thoroughly analyzing their sales charts and market demands, they decided to shine the spotlight on their Moisturizer, a product widely and frequently used.

A good moisturizer can instantly lift up a person's aura and demeanor, irrespective of the kind of day they are having.

The feeling of supple glistening skin with softness bouncing off of it was truly ethereal.
