"Ahem… Su Lin… How about focusing on the medicinal aspects also along with the cosmetic stuff?"
The old man hesitantly suggested after looking around the neatly organized shop interiors.
"Your shop is located in the prime hospital district area and I happen to know some old geezers like me who prefer traditional treatments."
"And you know at our age we fall sick a lot. Aha Ha Ha. You can milk a lot of money from us, dear." Grandpa Su chuckled.
With a kind smile dancing on her lips, Su Lin silently listened to the old man without any interruption and nodded her head.
However, she didn't plan on agreeing with him.
" I understand your worries grandpa but I really don't have the habit of giving up that easily." She shrugged her shoulders with a playful smile. "Especially on something I am passionate about."
Su Lin actually just told him the truth but the old man still looked concerned.
"..." Grandpa Su's mouth twitched. This young woman had a strong determination, though he didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing.
Leaning on the glass counter, Su Lin was smiling gently. Her plain face was nowhere near breathtakingly beautiful.
But it did have the simple effect of showering warmth and comfort to the eyes of the beholder.
Looking at his hesitating expression Su Lin further added, "How about this Grandpa… Give me six months… if nothing works out then we'll do it your way."
Su Lin decided to comfort the old man a little. Considering the amount of help he had offered her thus far, the least she could do was pacify him a bit.
Not wanting to bring down her enthusiasm grandpa Su ended up caving in and nodded in agreement.
"I will not forget this kindness grandpa." Su Lin stressed, and she really meant it.
"Hai Hai… Don't mention it, dear. Your Grandpa Shi will haunt me from his grave if I didn't even do this much…" The old man sighed.
"Why don't I give you some space now?" The old man started heading back.
Before leaving, he turned around and mumbled.
"By the way, I won't be that helpful with beauty products but why don't I bring my daughter-in-law tomorrow or the day after."
"Ha Ha... My daughter-in-law and her friends are pretty flushed. Make sure to swindle some money from them. Ha ha… See you later dear."
Grandpa Su waved his hand and got into the car.
Watching Grandpa Su leave, Su Lin rested her head on the counter and with a wide grin.
Everything was going her way and she was happy about it!
Su Lin sat back down and tried to think of her next few steps when her stomach grumbled.
It was almost evening and in the midst of arranging everything, they still hadn't eaten lunch.
So Su Lin dragged Runyan who was working on something inside the storeroom/ manager room and went out to get dinner.
Their shop was actually located in an extremely posh area.
When they mention the phrase 'hospital district', they should also add the words 'for the stinking rich and wealthy'.
Common people couldn't even afford a consultation visit to the first cross hospital.
There was also the famed Harvard Hughes Medical research institute located there.
This place specializes in cutting-edge scientific research and innovation. Some of the top brilliant scientific minds worked here.
Other than these two institutions which occupied most of that area, there were a few restaurants drizzled here and there and certain other high-end shopping boutiques.
But since Su Lin and Runyan were overnight millionaires with money they didn't work hard to earn, the duo had no qualms about treating themselves to a nice meal.
Well, Runyan did feel a little bad but Su Lin showed no signs of restraint. She was more than happy to spend that fiendish rogue's money.
As the excitedly chattering duo walked in, Shi Meng and his chief director Yin Yue walked out at the same time.
From the looks of it, the two attractive humans had just finished a business meeting or something of that sort and were heading out of the restaurant.
Shi Meng himself was extremely handsome and attractive with a chiseled profile and broad shoulders, and with Yin Yue's voluptuous sensual figure standing next to him, the couple looked absolutely stunning.
And of course, the couple glanced at the two women who clearly didn't belong here and had just entered the restaurant.
Shi Meng's lips pulled upwards into a condescending smirk as he gazed at his ex-wife with visible contempt.
In his eyes, she will always be a slimy conniving little reptile trying to swindle money out of high-class people like him.
"Hello, my dear. I heard that you were working pretty hard these days. Trying to start a company, I see?" He smugly scoffed.
