As soon as night fell, the massage shop closed early. In the past two days, one or two regular custors would still co for a massage, but today, after the commotion caused by the people from the Bureau of Industry and Comrce, not a single custor ca. It was more comfortable for the few people who were just sitting there waiting to go ho to shower and sleep!
Huang Liyong was still lying in the hospital, and Lin Chuan took so ti to visit him. The guy still hadn't woken up, so he asked the doctor, who was also puzzled, saying that given Huang Liyong's condition, he should have woken up long ago.
Listening to the doctor, Lin Chuan turned back to the ward, grabbed Huang Liyong's right arm, checked his pulse at the wrist, and sent a trace of Inner Qi into his body, finding the energy channels smooth, which made him feel very strange.
Logically speaking, Huang Liyong should be fine, but why isn't he waking up from the coma?
A strange feeling suddenly surged in Lin Chuan's heart; he always felt that there was sothing unusual about Huang Liyong's situation.
After leaving the hospital, Lin Chuan called Tang Yung, saying that he would have to stay in East Sea County for a few more days before going back,
When he returned to the massage shop, it was already nine o'clock in the evening, yet Du Jinglan hadn't gone ho.
"Why haven't you gone ho yet?" Seeing Du Jinglan, Lin Chuan couldn't help but ask curiously.
Du Jinglan pursed her lips and said nothing.
Lin Chuan saw the gloom on Du Jinglan's face, thinking she might have sothing she couldn't tell him, so he didn't press further and said, "It's getting late, let take you ho."
After hearing this, Du Jinglan beca more somber and said very little along the way. It wasn't until the road section where she should part ways with Lin Chuan that she foolishly followed him further!
"Are you okay?" Lin Chuan noticed Du Jinglan looking a bit lost and paused to ask with concern!
"Ah…." Du Jinglan was startled, then hurriedly shook her head, forcing a smile and said, "No… I'm fine!"
"No, what were you thinking just now?" Lin Chuan said softly, "You must have sothing on your mind, otherwise you wouldn't have forgotten the way ho!"
After Lin Chuan pointed it out, Du Jinglan realized she had walked too far. Then she smiled embarrassingly and intended to turn around and head ho!
"Jinglan, are you really okay?" Lin Chuan looked at Du Jinglan's bewildered expression, feeling a bit uneasy, and asked loudly again!
"Don't worry, I'm fine!" Du Jinglan turned her head back, finally showing a smile, then turned to walk in the direction of her ho!
...
Yu Xiaohui's ho
"Xiao Hui, who exactly is that man? What does he do for a living? How long have you known each other? What about his character?" Just after dinner, Yu Xiaohui's mother bombarded Yu Xiaohui, who was sitting on the couch, with a series of headache-inducing questions!
"Mom, aren't you annoying! I've said it countless tis, I don't know any guy, the person my dad ntioned is just one of my patients, and we only happened to et by coincidence!" Yu Xiaohui said impatiently, rolling her eyes at Yu Minen, blaming him for talking nonsense out of boredom.
Sitting beside Yu Minen, who was reading the newspaper, did not expect his old partner to be so sensitive. He only secretly told her that their daughter might have a boyfriend outside, sothing that was supposed to be joyous, but she ended up questioning it in public, making everyone unhappy.
"Alright, when will this end? I just made a casual remark, look how anxious you're getting!" Yu Minen put down the newspaper, blaming his old partner.
"How can I not be anxious? All the kids of my colleagues at work have partners already, only our Xiao Hui is stuck in this situation, neither up nor down. Now that there's finally so sign, of course, I want to investigate thoroughly. Considering our family background and Xiao Hui's looks, the other party definitely can't be too bad, otherwise, I wouldn't agree!" Yu Xiaohui's mother said seriously, glaring at Yu Minen!
"I think that guy is quite nice; just not sure about his family background." Yu Minen recalled Lin Chuan's appearance, affirming. But from Lin Chuan's attire, he guessed that Lin Chuan's family was ordinary, perhaps even less so than theirs, but he didn't say these things aloud. After all, it was his daughter's relationship, they could only offer her so advice, nothing more.
"Xiao Hui, if you have ti, invite that guy to our ho soti, so we can et him. We don't have strict requirents; as long as he's ambitious and truly good to you, we won't interfere with your relationship!" Yu Xiaohui's mother said with a smile, leaning towards Yu Xiaohui!
"Enough, aren't you guys annoying, I've told you countless tis, I really don't know that guy!" Yu Xiaohui shouted loudly, simply leaving, angrily rushing to her bedroom, and slamming the door shut!
"Old man, anyway, you saw that guy today, tell , how does he look? Does he match our Xiao Hui?" Seeing their daughter leave, Yu's mother placed her last hope on her husband!
Yu Minen gave a bitter smile, thinking if he had known this, he wouldn't have ntioned it. But he eventually nodded affirmatively, smiling and said, "I think that guy is quite a good match for our Xiao Hui!"
After speaking, Yu Minen picked up his newspaper and headed towards the bedroom; if he stayed any longer, his old partner would drive him crazy!
"Quite a good match." Muttered Yu's mother, looking up to see her husband leaving, and then loudly asked, "What's that supposed to an, how does he look, how tall is he, what's his build, you can't just brush off like this!"

Fang Zhongshan was pacing back and forth in his shop's hall, occasionally glancing at the massage shop across the street. Every ti he saw the sign with the 80% discount, he couldn't help but get furious!
"Damn it, who does business like this, using discounts to attract custors, it's just shaless!" Fang Zhongshan said angrily, worried that the hard-won custors he had managed to attract would be lost once again due to the opposite side's discount.
What made him speechless was the audacity of offering such a steep discount, practically making it free, which would inevitably draw custors away for the cheaper option!
Even though yesterday's disturbance didn't affect the massage shop much, it still had an impact. But even so, Fang Zhongshan was still upset that he couldn't get Tiantian Massage's business license nullified. He went ho cursing his cousin non-stop!
Early this morning, Fang Zhongshan saw the discount sign across the street, which only fueled his anger further.
"I say, aren't you tired of pacing, you might not be, but I'm getting dizzy!" Fang Zhongshan's wife, sitting on the sofa, cracking lon seeds, complained. "Bla your cousin; what kind of relative is he? We wined and dined and even gave gifts, but in the end, they were less helpful than a bunch of thugs from the street!"
"You have the nerve to speak, weren't you the first to admit Peng Jianye was our cousin? If you hadn't let it slip, it wouldn't have turned out this way, you really can't accomplish anything, can only cause trouble!" Fang Zhongshan said through gritted teeth!
Seeing that their massage shop had no one entering for half a day, he felt a bit reassured, figuring not everyone loves bargains.
"With your deanor, and you want to monopolize the massage industry here, I think you're just dreaming!" The woman spit out a lon seed shell, curling her lips!
Fang Zhongshan ignored his wife and instead moved a chair, holding a cup of tea, sat at the massage shop's entrance, watching the continuous flow of people, feeling slightly relieved.
Compared to the coldness of the opposite massage shop, there were quite a few custors on his side, most of them middle-aged big spenders. The reason these big spenders favored this massage shop was simply,
Because most of the masseuses here were young and pretty girls, and once familiar, they could receive so 'extra services'.
After about two hours, a dium-built middle-aged man finally entered Tiantian Massage, which made Fang Zhongshan, who silently watched from the opposite, angry again. In his opinion, one custor ant a second, and then gradually more, which would render his previous efforts in vain!
Gritting his teeth, Fang Zhongshan quickly moved to his wife's side, pulling out the phone from her handbag beside her, and dialed three numbers!
"Hello, is this the police station? I'd like to report…." Fang Zhongshan said with a wicked smile!
...
Finally, a custor arrived at the massage shop, and within half an hour, two or three n walked through the door as well!
Even though it was losing money to create buzz, having custors in the usually deserted shop genuinely made Lin Chuan happy, bustling around to ensure everything was in order!
After being idle for a few days, Lin Chuan and Du Jinglan finally returned to work normally today, making them busy. During massages, they were more attentive and considerate to custors!
In less than an hour, three custors were already sitting in the hall waiting, which was a rare sight!
"It seems my strategy was the right move!" Lin Chuan kept chatting with several custors, silently musing, knowing that even though more custors ant losing more money, it was, after all, a good sign!
