"Close the shop?" Wu Tian shook his head. "How can we close it? This is your dream!"
"How about this, I'll go with you. I want to see today what that guy actually wants!"
Wu Tian's words were full of spirit, but they still made Bai Xue feel very worried.
Her right hand unconsciously clutched her chest and she said, "Wu Tian, are you really going? I think we should just forget it!"
"I really don't want to drag you into this. If anything happens to you, I'll regret it for the rest of my life!"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "Sister Bai Xue, you should know that I'm quite capable of fighting. Since that's the case, what else do you have to worry about?"
"Just let me go and have a good meeting with him. I don't believe he can really flip the shop today!"
Seeing that Wu Tian had said so much, Bai Xue knew that no matter how much she said, it would be useless.
She nodded and said, "Alright, then let's go."
Wu Tian drove Bai Xue to the county. In the car, Bai Xue pointed to the shop next door and said, "Wu Tian, look, this is that newly opened nail salon."
Wu Tian glanced at it and couldn't help but sneer, "They're quite good at copying. Do they want to attract customers with the same decor?"
"It's a pity they're just a Dong Shi and a Xi Shi."
The reason Wu Tian said this was because the nail salon next door, named Tian Mei, had the exact same decorative style as Bai Xue's Luo Xue Nail Salon.
Bai Xue said, "Now their business is picking up. It seems that while I was away these few days, our customers have all gone to her place."
Wu Tian smiled and said, "What's there to worry about? They are merely substitutes."
"When the real owner returns, things will be as they should be!"
Wu Tian and Bai Xue got out of the car, and Bai Xue went to open the shop.
Seeing this, the customers who were planning to go to Tian Mei Nail Salon had their eyes light up and quickly crowded over.
"Oh, Sister Bai Xue, you're finally back!"
A customer said in surprise, "I thought you were closing down. You scared me to death!"
Bai Xue smiled and said, "I just had something at home and went back for a few days. Why would I close down?"
The customer smiled and said, "It's good that you didn't close. Your nail art here is really beautiful."
"If you closed down, I really wouldn't know where to go!"
After speaking, she enthusiastically shouted into Tian Mei Nail Salon, "Sisters, good news, Luo Xue Nail Salon is open! Don't wait here anymore, come over!"
Hearing this, the customers from Tian Mei Nail Salon immediately ran over.
And when they saw Bai Xue, they were all overjoyed, as if they had seen some treasure.
Wu Tian couldn't help but smile.
It seemed that Sister Bai Xue's business was indeed doing well, with so many loyal customers.
It was indeed the right decision to help her open this shop back then.
"I told you," Wu Tian said with a smile, "when the real owner is back, all demons and ghosts have to step aside."
"Dong Shi will always be Dong Shi. No matter how much they imitate, they can never become Xi Shi!"
Bai Xue was very happy. She hadn't expected her customers to care about her so much, which almost brought her to tears.
She quickly greeted them, "Thank you everyone, thank you everyone. Please come in and wait for a moment. I'll have the girls come back to work!"
Customers entered the shop one after another. Even those who hadn't finished their nail art came out of Tian Mei Nail Salon and ran over here.
In an instant, the previously empty Luo Xue Nail Salon was completely packed.
Bai Xue busied herself with making tea for everyone, while Wu Tian also didn't idle, helping Bai Xue serve tea and water to everyone. The atmosphere in the shop was very lively.
However, such a scene was not what some people wanted to see.
Just then, a woman suddenly walked over. Her sharp voice, like the cry of a crow, broke the harmonious scene.
"Oh, isn't this Boss Bai? What's going on? It's so lively as soon as you're back. It's truly enviable!"
Bai Xue looked up, and her previously happy expression froze.
She said blankly, "Boss Zhong, h-hello!"
Wu Tian also looked at the woman. She was a woman around thirty years old, quite good-looking, but her makeup was very heavy, making her look like a vixen.
She was Zhong Tianmei, the owner of Tian Mei Nail Salon.
Zhong Tianmei gave Bai Xue a sideways glance, then swayed her hips and walked in.
She said to Bai Xue, "Boss Bai, you're back and you didn't even say hello to me. That doesn't seem quite right, does it?"
Bai Xue was very nervous and didn't know what to say for a moment.
At this moment, Wu Tian's low voice sounded first.
"We're opening our own shop. What does that have to do with you? Why should we inform you?"
Wu Tian's words showed no mercy, which caused the atmosphere to become extremely cold.
Zhong Tianmei's pupils contracted slightly, then she frowned and said, "Who are you? I've never seen you before."
Wu Tian looked directly at her and said, "Who I am is not important. What's important are the things you've done."
"I don't want to say any more to you. I just hope you remember that you can't just bully people as you please."
"Sister Bai Xue is not without support. You'd better restrain your arrogance, or I will make you suffer."
Wu Tian's words stunned Zhong Tianmei.
Then, anger spread across her face.
She sized up Wu Tian and then sneered, "I wondered who it was, so it's someone you found to help!"
"Kid, I'll advise you too. This is not something you can manage. You'd better leave here."
"If you get involved in this matter, you will be the one who suffers."
Wu Tian said coldly, "Is that so? If you insist on doing so, then you can try."
"Today, I really want to see what kind of ability you have to make our shop unable to continue operating."
Wu Tian's appearance made Zhong Tianmei's chest ache with anger.
In the past, she always had the upper hand over Bai Xue, and she was always unrestrained in front of Bai Xue.
But she didn't expect to be retorted today, which she couldn't accept.
She said with a gloomy face, "It seems you really don't know what's good for you."
"I'm asking you, who exactly are you? What does this have to do with you? Why do you have to meddle in other people's business?"
Wu Tian said, "I'm a person who doesn't like to talk nonsense, so don't ask so many questions. Call your man over. Let's see what he's made of."
"I'm a vengeful person. You've bullied Sister Bai Xue for so long, so now it's my turn to bully you!"
