"Your sister-in-law isn't blind, she looks at you strangely!"
Xia Xue's face was solemn, and she warned, "Xiao Fan, you have to control yourself. You're not married yet. Marrying a divorced woman with a child will make people laugh at you!"
"Besides, you have skills and can make money. You'll definitely find a good wife in the future..."
Xia Xue's heart felt a pang of sadness as she said this.
Lin Fan looked up at her beautiful face and said with determination, "Sister-in-law, I won't marry anyone else. I..."
Xia Xue knew what he was about to say, so she interrupted him, "Enough said, I'm going back to my room."
With that, Xia Xue was about to get up and go to her own room.
But at that moment, a pleasant melody suddenly rang out: "The big windmill turns 'creak creak', the scenery here is so beautiful, the sky is beautiful, the earth is beautiful, and also the happy little companions..."
Xia Xue frowned and listened carefully, then turned to look at the bed, "What is that sound, a phone?"
"Don't know... know, ah!"
Lin Fan froze for a moment and immediately panicked.
He had been scared by Su Yurou last night and was afraid that this crazy woman would actually come looking for him, so he had turned off the silent mode and set a ringtone.
"Where did you get a phone?"
Xia Xue said, already walking to the bedside.
Seeing this, Lin Fan immediately rushed over, pulled the phone out from under the pillow, and explained, "I bought it when I went to town. Sister-in-law, I, I'll answer the phone first."
By this time, the rain had lessened.
Lin Fan pushed open the door, closed it, stood under the eaves, and looked at the phone screen.
It was indeed Su Yurou.
Seeing that the call was connected, Su Yurou immediately exclaimed, "Why are you answering so late?"
Not hearing Lin Fan's response, Su Yurou spoke in a sweet, coquettish voice, "Darling~ I miss you!"
Lin Fan covered the receiver and said impatiently, "Cut the crap. If you have something to say, say it. Otherwise, I'm hanging up."
Su Yurou snorted lightly, "Lin Fan, are you going to deny it after you've had your way?"
Her voice turned cold, laced with a hint of resentment.
"I... I already..."
Lin Fan really wanted to curse: I haven't even taken my pants off, what are you talking about pulling up my pants and denying it?
But he was afraid his sister-in-law would hear, so he suppressed his anger and asked, "Grandma, do you have any actual business to discuss?"
"That's more like it." Su Yurou giggled, "Xiao Fan, my beauty salon has reopened."
"So what?" Lin Fan was a bit annoyed.
He wasn't interested in this matter at all.
"How can you be so heartless?"
"Hmph!" Su Yurou was very angry and snorted again.
Lin Fan sighed helplessly, "If you don't get to the point, I'm hanging up."
"You this person?" Su Yurou switched back to a normal tone, "Alright, alright, I'll tell you!"
"The beauty salon has reopened, but business is very bad. In the few days I was closed, another beauty salon on the same street held events and offered memberships, snatching away a lot of my customers..."
Hearing this, Lin Fan directly interrupted, "Then win them back. Why are you looking for me?"
Su Yurou gritted her teeth, "Are you deliberately trying to anger me?"
Lin Fan was afraid of angering her and softened his tone, "I'm a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. I don't know anything about beauty. I'm useless to you."
"How are you useless?" Su Yurou shouted, "I've already sent out the invitation cards, and you're my golden signboard!"
"What?" Lin Fan panicked and quickly asked, "What do you mean the invitation cards have been sent out?"
Su Yurou giggled for a while and replied, "Dr. Lin, from a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners for three generations, skilled in health preservation and therapy, will be holding consultations at Simiao Beauty Salon. How about that?"
"Isn't this a good gimmick?"
Lin Fan was stunned and forgot how to speak for a moment.
Su Yurou's voice was excited as she continued, "I saw that Yiren Fang is also doing this. They hired an eighty-year-old traditional Chinese medicine doctor, and business is booming."
"The old doctor charges by the minute, ten yuan per minute. We..."
Lin Fan came back to his senses at this point, snorted, and interrupted, "Boss Su, can you calm down a bit?"
"What's wrong?" Su Yurou also came back to her senses, but she was waking up from beautiful dreams, not stunned like Lin Fan.
Lin Fan took a deep breath and said impatiently, "As for the physician skilled in health preservation and therapy, you can find whoever you want. I don't have that ability and can't take this job."
After saying that, Lin Fan was about to hang up.
But at that moment, just as Lin Fan took the phone away from his ear, Su Yurou suddenly yelled, "Lin Fan!"
"Lin Fan, are you going to make me come to Luofeng Village and find you at your clinic?"
"Coincidentally, I also want to meet your sister-in-law..."
Hearing this, Lin Fan's sharp eyebrows knitted together.
He picked up the phone again and asked, "Did you investigate me?"
Su Yurou scoffed disdainfully, "It's a poor, remote place with a sparse population. Do I need to investigate? A casual inquiry will tell me everything."
She sounded confident, then changed her tone to a soft one, "Xiao Fan, how much can you earn working hard as a doctor in the village?"
"I've set the price for you at one yuan per second, and it's all yours."
"You'll also have travel and food expenses, which I'll cover."
Lin Fan took a deep breath. One yuan per second!
That's sixty yuan per minute!
Three thousand six hundred per hour!
If calculated by eight hours a day, that's nearly thirty thousand a day!
As Lin Fan thought this, he heard Su Yurou say again, "I don't need you to consult all the time. As long as we can suppress the opponent's momentum, you can decide whether to come or not in the future."
Su Yurou's tone was casual, as if she was certain Lin Fan couldn't resist the lure of money.
"This is completely different from treating Wang Ying; it carries absolutely no risk."
"Xiao Fan, don't forget that you also have shares in my beauty salon. How about I give you thirty percent?"
"You should know that I have to entertain guests in the business world in all aspects..."
Su Yurou was saying this when she heard Lin Fan hum, "I'll see if I have time then."
Lin Fan was indeed tempted.
He was short of nearly two hundred thousand for building his house, and he could earn it in ten to fifteen days by consulting.
Building a big house for his family had been his dream since childhood.
He wouldn't rest until it was realized!
Su Yurou chuckled with joy, "You agree?"
Lin Fan thought for a moment and warned, "Let's be clear first. I only know a few basic tricks. I don't know anything about health preservation and therapy, as you mentioned."
Su Yurou hummed, "Don't worry, I'll handle everything. I'll teach you what to say then."
Lin Fan said, "Okay. That's it then. Call me in advance when you need me. Goodbye."
With that, Lin Fan hung up the phone.
"Hello~ Hello!"
Su Yurou called out twice, then angrily cursed, "You blockhead, are you in a hurry to die!"
At this time, a woman in her thirties, wearing a fitted suit, walked up to Su Yurou and asked, "Boss, how did it go?"
The beauty salon had reopened, but business had plummeted.
As the floor manager, she was even more anxious than Su Yurou.
After all, she had worked for five or six years to reach the position of floor manager, and she didn't want to lose her job.
"Don't worry, when have I ever failed to achieve what I set out to do?"
Su Yurou narrowed her eyes, exuding the aura of a strong businesswoman.
"That's great!"
The floor manager jumped for joy.
Then, she slightly restrained her smile and said, "Yiren Fang has invited an expert from the provincial hospital, and they are reportedly even receiving national subsidies..."
Su Yurou sneered, "Are you believing their boasting?"
"I wouldn't dare to say anything else, but Xiao Fan's skills are genuine. You'll know when the time comes."
