Whenever Luo Yang thought about owning his own cosmetics brand in the future, he was so thrilled that his whole body itched with excitement.
On his way to school, he was pondering how to sell the miraculous stream water depicted in landscape paintings. He wondered if taking some beauty stream and adding it to ordinary water, then using it to wash his face or bathe, would be effective.
When he arrived at school, the flag-raising ceremony was held on Monday morning, followed by morning reading time.
After the flag-raising ceremony, Luo Yang sneaked back to the dormitory and poured a little half cup of beauty stream water from the "Shennong Scripture" into a full bucket of water, then used it to wash his face. After washing, he looked in the mirror and saw no change. He thought it might take time for his skin to become fair, so he returned to the classroom for morning reading.
After morning reading, there were two homeroom classes.
After the first homeroom class, Luo Yang returned to the dormitory, looked in the mirror again, and found his skin looked like a baby's, well-hydrated and rosy, making his eyes appear darker and shinier. His handsomeness had dramatically increased.
"That's great!"
Luo Yang was so excited that he danced around for a while. Looking at the bucket mixed with beauty stream water, he felt it was a pity to pour it away and decided to use it to take a bath.
After bathing, he went back to the classroom, a few minutes late.
When he entered the classroom, the class teacher, Suyun, stared at him curiously. Luo Yang knew it was his impressive skin and aura that had attracted her attention.
Back at his seat, just after sitting down, he saw Hong Jiaxin turn her head to look at him. Luo Yang smiled slightly, her pretty face instantly blushing as she quickly sat up straight.
After the second homeroom class, Hong Jiaxin pretended to talk to Zeng Xiaomei but was actually stealing glances at Luo Yang. She thought he looked even more handsome, and his fresh charm deeply captivated her.
"Class leader, why are you looking at me?" Luo Yang said with a smile.
"Who's looking at you? Didn't you see I was talking to Xiaomei?" Hong Jiaxin pouted her red lips, her face turning even redder.
When he went to the bathroom, Luo Yang specifically checked the skin on various parts of his body and was amazed by the incredible beauty effects of the beauty stream water.
Back in the classroom and continuing with the lessons, he thought about how to sell the beauty stream water and who to partner with for promotion. Having a great product also required proper advertising to make more consumers aware of it.
After thinking it over, he felt it was best to collaborate with Zhu Li. She had more contacts in upper-middle-class society and could quickly attract the attention of beauty enthusiasts with her help in advertising. Importantly, Zhu Li was also his god-sister.
After the third class, Luo Yang called Zhu Li. Once connected, he said, "Sister Kick, I want to treat you to lunch at noon."
Zhu Li asked, "Is it your birthday?"
Luo Yang replied with a laugh, "No. I want to do business with you."
There was a pause on the other end, as if Zhu Li didn't quite understand Luo Yang's intent. Then she said, "Okay. Do you want me to drive and pick you up?"
Luo Yang replied, "I'll ride to Xiaoshulin Market and wait for you there."
Zhu Li chuckled softly and said, "No. I'll drive to your school gate and wait for you."
Indeed, a few minutes before the midday school break, Zhu Li messaged that she had already arrived outside the front gate of Dongfeng Middle School.
Ding Ding Ding…
The class bell rang, and Luo Yang quickly walked downstairs and headed to the main gate.
JJust as he got to the gate, he encountered Yu Yong, who, along with many students, was staring at the silver Lamborghini parked not far away.
In Hongyun Town, Audi and BMW were common, but luxury sports cars like Lamborghinis and Ferraris were rare. Even without looking at the license plate, people generally knew who the owner was.
Seeing Luo Yang approaching, Yu Yong waved and said, "Luo Yang, come and check out this beautiful car."
Luo Yang replied with a smile, "I'm going to ride in it."
The boys around laughed, taking it as a joke. However, they were shocked when they saw Luo Yang actually walk toward the Lamborghini.
Yu Yong quickly caught up to him, grabbed Luo Yang's arm, and said, "Luo Yang, let me tell you. That car belongs to Sister Kick. Don't play with fire. If you anger her, you're in for trouble."
Luo Yang laughed and said, "Don't stop me, I'm in a hurry."
But Yu Yong didn't let go.
"Sister Kick is coming to pick me up. I need to talk to her about something," Luo Yang said with a smile.
"Luo Yang, there's a time for bluffing. I'm kindly telling you whose car that is. You know it's Sister Kick's car, and you still dare to mess with her? Are you asking to die?" Yu Yong sneered.
"Brother Yong. If she wants to kill me, that's my problem. Stay out of it," Luo Yang said earnestly.
"Suit yourself! I've already warned you," Yu Yong said, curling his lips.
The other boys thought Luo Yang was joking, seemingly walking towards the Lamborghini, but likely planning to just walk past it and play a little prank for fun. They showed a disdainful smile.
Luo Yang walked over to the passenger side of the Lamborghini, pulled the door open, and sat inside.
Seeing this, Yu Yong and the others' eyes widened, mouths agape, their jaws almost hitting the floor. Had they not seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed that the Lamborghini parked there was there to pick up Luo Yang.
Zhu Li, wearing sunglasses, a deep V-neck short-sleeved top matched with a miniskirt, her ample bosom and long legs especially eye-catching.
For Luo Yang, who possessed the X-Ray Ability, he saw even more, and suddenly felt his body temperature rise, quickly averting his gaze.
"Want to drive?"
Zhu Li asked while starting the car.
The interior of the car was luxurious and elegant, with the dashboard and buttons all exuding opulence and modernity.
"I don't know how to drive," Luo Yang said, gently touching the things inside the car.
"After lunch, I'll teach you," Zhu Li said.
The Hongyun Brigade also had some nice cars; every time he saw an Audi or BMW, he secretly vowed to earn money to buy one and indulge himself.
Now that Zhu Li said she would teach him how to drive, he felt like dancing for joy.
In a blink of an eye, they arrived in front of a hotel in Xiaoshulin Market called "Guest Happy Hotel," which was the best around, seemingly a four-star one.
As they went upstairs, passing by Room 202, Luo Yang heard a woman's hoarse voice from inside, which sounded familiar, and he slowed his pace to listen.
He only heard the woman say, "I don't care! You guys better pay me back my money."
Hearing this, Luo Yang remembered where he had heard this voice—it was at Liangliang Clothing Store, and the speaker was Xia Yun!
"Sister Kick, there's someone I know in this room. I'm going to chat for a bit. I'll join you shortly," Luo Yang said.
"Okay," Zhu Li nodded.
Then, Luo Yang turned the doorknob, opened the door, and peeked inside to confirm it was Xia Yun, given that others could have a similar voice.
Aside from Xia Yun, there were two other young men and a young woman in the room.
When Xia Yun saw Luo Yang, she quickly waved him over, "Luo Yang, I'm glad you're here! Come, help me settle this."
Thus, Luo Yang entered the room, closed the door behind him, and sat next to Xia Yun, who had red eyes, obviously having cried.
"Sister Yun, what happened?" Luo Yang asked.
"They teamed up to cheat me, tricked me into playing poker. I won at first, but then I kept losing. Last night, I lost almost 50,000 yuan. I've never lost so much money," Xia Yun confided.
Having heard this, Luo Yang roughly understood why these people were sitting together.
