    Hehe’s Store: 499

    Phoenix: Okay, I’m placing an order right away.

    Hehe’s Store: That’s very quick of you.

    Phoenix: It’s a shop run by Sister Hehe, so I must be quick about it.

    Crying Whale: How much is an Apple 6?

    Hehe’s Store: 3,888

    Crying Whale: Can I get a discount?

    Hehe’s Store: No. Sёar?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    Crying Whale: Okay, I’ll buy one first.

    If the quality is as described, I’ll purchase one each for my wife, my mistress, my sister-in-law, and my mistress’s sister.

    Hehe’s Store: Well, it seems like I’m dealing with a veteran.

    I’m impressed.

    Hehe’s NC Fan: Hehe, are you there?

    ~~~~

    Handling orders while also communicating with customers, the shop was bustling with activity.

    Suddenly, the computer froze.

    With dozens of live chat windows open, it was no surprise.

    Li Zhongnan just unplugged the computer, no longer feeling like dealing with it.

    He lit a cigarette and took a drag.

    In just a few hours, he had sold at least three to four hundred phones.

    It was incredibly scary.

    He finished his cigarette.

    Chen Xiaoting came out, looking dumbfounded.

    She stared at Li Zhongnan and said in a daze, “Boss, am I famous?

    Boss, am I dreaming?

    Boss, pinch me to make sure!”

    Li Zhongnan chuckled helplessly and firmly pinched her arm.

    He then asked, “Did that hurt?”

    “It hurt!” Chen Xiaoting shouted before jumping up and down with excitement.

    “Boss, I’m famous!

    I’m famous!

    Hahahaha!”

    She proceeded to hop around, then grabbed onto him and they both jumped together.

    Li Zhongnan could only comply with a sense of resignation.

    The girl had become an overnight sensation.

    Her current state of mind was probably similar to that of a pauper who’d suddenly won a five million dollar lottery.

    If he didn’t let her blow off some steam, she might go crazy.

    After a while, Chen Xiaoting calmed down a bit.

    “Why did I become so popular all of a sudden?” she asked.

    Li Zhongnan smiled and teased, “You’re so beautiful, and you’re cute and humorous to boot.

    It would have been more surprising if you hadn’t become popular!”

    Despite his own surprise at her sudden rise in fame and his uncertainty about the cause, he’d used two “Star Energy Talismans” on her, giving her a twenty-fold increase in star energy.

    Considering her own inherent charm and talent, it wasn’t particularly shocking that she had become famous.

    Of course, he was exhilarated by all of this.

    After all, he had been rewarded with ten “Star Energy Talismans” by the system, and he had only used two of them.

    He still had eight left!

    Perhaps he could foster more stars or even start a film and television company.

    After all, if his business or brands prospered in the future, he might need to find some high-profile endorsements.

    “Really?”

    Chen Xiaoting seemed skeptical.

    Li Zhongnan asked her after a brief pause, “Xiao Ting, what are your plans for the future?”

    Her sudden fame wasn’t part of his plan.

    But it was certainly something that needed to be addressed.

    Considering the current situation, Chen Xiaoting had a bright future ahead of her.

    If she was lucky, she might win over some big shot directors and become a film and television superstar within just a few years.

    Even if she didn’t achieve much in the future, today’s exposure alone would be enough for her to become a famous internet celebrity or streamer.

    No matter how you look at it, she’d be earning more than the $5,000 monthly salary he was offering her.

    Moreover, considering what happened just this afternoon alone, she received over ten million soft sister currency in tips from her livestream.

    This money would be enough to ensure she never had to worry about her food and drinks for the rest of her life.

    Now, for her to pay back his $80,000 loan would be nothing more than a small gesture.

    So, if she wanted to leave, he wouldn’t be able to stop her.

    More importantly, he didn’t want to stop her.

    As the cliché goes, you can imprison a person, but you cannot imprison her heart.

    What’s the use of keeping someone who doesn’t want to stay?

    Besides, even if Chen Xiaoting left, he could still find and train replacements.

    Perplexed, Chen Xiaoting said, “Boss, I don’t know.

    My head is all mush right now.”

    “Alright, I’ll give you a day to think it over.” Li Zhongnan gave her a comforting smile before walking out.

    If Chen Xiaoting decided to leave in the end, he’d consider it a favor on his part—giving her opportunity for their acquaintanceship.

    If she chose to stay, he’d undoubtedly offer her more.

    Whether she chose to stay or leave, he now had another sales channel.

    He estimated that he would be able to sell all thirty thousand phones in a few months.

    The most urgent task now was to resolve the issue of gold coins.

    Therefore, he could no longer procrastinate on the One-eyed Wolf case.

    He had to settle it as soon as possible!

    Meanwhile, in a villa, inside a particular bedroom, Gao Dalong held an old woman in a bed with a pipe clamped between his teeth.

    However, his attention was fixated on the mobile phone on the bedside table.

    He couldn’t help but feel nervous.

    If their operation failed tonight, it meant that he would have to bow out of Northrealm’s waste materials market and retire peacefully.

    Or even worse, he could be risking his life.

    The old woman in his arms, just as nervous, asked apprehensively, “Dalong, do you think something might go wrong?

    Maybe you should go into hiding first?

    People say that Second Brother Li is an exceptional fighter…”

    “I’ve weathered much bigger storms than this; why would I be scared of a little brat?” Gao Dalong retorted, throwing off the old woman in his arms and taking an angry puff from his pipe.

    “Buoyed up by false pride, lost in self-defeat.

    Naive woman, it’d be better to beat you to death!”

    Tears streamed down the old woman’s face.

    Seeing this, Gao Dalong softened.

    “Auntie Hai Lang, I owe you so much.

    Back then, I slept with you in Gaojiakou.

    Afraid of getting caught, I abandoned you, leaving you to face scorn and humiliation alone.

    Later, to survive, you had no choice but to marry an old man.

    When I came back after serving in the military, I didn’t give you many good days before I was imprisoned again, leaving you to struggle alone for twenty years.

    Now, even though things are better, I’m still making you live in fear every day.”

    “But I cannot give up.

    I must press on.

    I’ve had enough of living without money and influence.

    So I hope you can understand.”

    “Dalong, it’s my fault.

    I was the one who couldn’t stand the loneliness.

    I was the one who seduced you.

    Then after you left, I seduced your elder brother.

    Because of me, you ended up in jail for twenty years.

    But during that time, I still couldn’t control myself and got involved with several other men.

    I am a faded flower and a damaged willow, naturally provocative, having experienced countless men in my life.

    Now in my sixties, my skin is all dried and wrinkled, yet you have never abandoned me…”

    Gao Dalang listened with a heavy heart and sighed, “No matter what, you were my first woman.”

    Just as he finished speaking, his phone rang.

    Gao Dalang quickly answered it, and after listening for a bit, he started to cheer loudly.

    Auntie Hai Lang asked, “Dalong, what happened?”

    “Everything went smoothly.”

    Gao Dalang let out a hearty laugh, “This time, Second Brother Li is done for!”
