Scum Man Cannot Redeem Himself - chapter 139

The first thing he needed to do was to get a good idea of what he wanted to do.

He didn’t know how to get close to her. He was like a person who had been sentenced to death, there was no hope to defend himself.

He had been in the village for several days and had to go back to Su City to take care of the business.

He informed Mother Shen, then went out of the courtyard and spurred his horse away.

……

It was a rare day in Su City. The busy streets were full of traffic and people.

A rather large, gorgeously decorated store was surrounded by people, from inside came the sound of a woman crying.

A while later the curious crowd looked up. There was a makeup store, the signboard read “Long Xin rouge”.

“What’s going on here? Why is she crying so miserably?”

“Someone bought makeup from this store and her face was ruined.”

“Isn’t the makeup used to protect a woman’s face? How could it ruin the face?”

“You do not understand! A good makeup must naturally be able to protect the face, but some conscientious merchants use some substandard materials for more profits, so applying it makes the face go bad.”

“So it is!”

At that time, the woman who was howling inside stopped crying and came out of the store. A middle-aged woman was standing on the steps of the store.

“Look at this, everyone! It is the rouge sold in this store, it is this makeup powder called First Sight,” said the woman, raising up an object in her hand, an exquisite and stunning powder box.

“When I applied it for a few days, my face got rotten like this.”

The middle-aged woman leaned her body forward, holding the powder in one hand and pointing at her face with the other.

The people in the crowd fixed their eyes on the woman’s face which was indeed red. If one looked closer, they could also see many small red spots on the face.

The woman took the trouble to walk to each person to show her face.

After walking around, the woman returned to the steps in front of the rouge store, “Everyone look at me! This face of mine is rotten, right?!”

She pointed to the store behind her and said, “The damned shopkeeper saw me coming here and denied it, saying that the quality is good and the materials used are of the highest quality, so it is impossible for this to happen.”

“He is clearly trying to deny it. They saw me make a big fuss, so some people also came to see what was going on, and also attempted to use silver to seal my mouth.”

The woman shouted, “Am I that kind of person? For the sake of silver, will I destroy my conscience? I am standing here today to expose this to everyone, expose how this store sells inferior goods, and some unscrupulous merchants’ products such as First Sight.”

“People go home and tell your woman not to buy from here because it will rot their faces, and my face is proof.”

Another woman came out of the crowd, and the woman walked straight to the door.

She asked, “Sister, you also used this brand? I also got a rotten face. I thought I was the only one. It turns out not. So this product itself is the problem!”

People agreed that First Sight indeed had a big problem. In order to make things right, the shopkeeper had to remove First Sight powder from the counter.

……

For the company’s monthly report, dozens of its shopkeepers gathered together to report to Chen Jili the previous month’s profits and other operations of the store.

Chen Jili was busy all day and finally sent the last shopkeeper away before it got dark.

He leaned back in his chair, exhausted. Before he could rest for a moment, the servant from the house reported that his father and mother were waiting for him at the house. The pair of thick black sword eyebrows stretched even more.

The only thing that bothered his parents was the marriage.

It seemed that things could no longer be hidden, so he better faced it openly!

Chen Jili thought of this, so he got up and went downstairs.

The office was about to close, and the fellows were gathered together to chat.

“Today I went to that Long Xin rouge store for delivery, and saw a woman making trouble.”

“Long Xin? Isn’t that a big store? What’s going on?”

“That is the biggest store in the east of the city. A woman said that she used makeup powder which rotted her face.”

“What brand of makeup powder?”

“She said it was from First Sight.”

“First Sight? That’s the one that’s selling particularly well out of nowhere?”

“Yes, yes.”

Chen Jili came downstairs and heard the fellows talking about First Sight. Something was unusual so he stopped to ask the delivery fellow carefully.

After listening, he who originally planned to go back to the Chen house immediately turned to go to the Long Xin rouge store.

The store was in the east of the city which took a little more than half an hour on horseback. Chen Jili drove fast to arrive in the store before it was closing.

Long Xin rouge shopkeeper saw Chen Jili, and warmly welcomed him to the room.

He made tea and the two people sat.

Chen Jili opened the door, “Mr. Jiang, today I came here to inquire about the female customer during the day.”

Boss Jiang had been worried about the matter. If this matter went out, it would certainly affect their Long Xin business. So when Chen Jili asked, Boss Jiang had a lot of things to say. Chen Jili was the important supplier, and with no conflict of interest between the two, Boss Jiang had no need to hide. He told him everything.

“Boss Chen, this is what happened…”
