After being reborn, the school beauty's entire family knelt down to repent.

She only earns five yuan for making a Zhongshan suit, but this shirt costs twenty yuan!

She asked again incredulously, "Twenty? You're not mistaken, are you? That's so expensive, who would buy it?"

The shop assistant rolled her eyes and said impatiently:

"Auntie, you don't understand, this is all the rage now! We've sold dozens of these today alone! If you're going to buy one, hurry up and buy it; if not, don't block other people's way."

Aunt Wang was furious at the shop assistant's attitude, but she couldn't retaliate, so she could only walk away sullenly.

She looked around and found the store packed with people, with hardly any room to stand.

Many customers were carrying large bags and small bags, with the store's logo printed on them, clearly indicating that they had just bought them.

She saw a young woman holding a red shirt just like the one she had seen earlier, happily trying it on in front of the mirror.

Aunt Wang's heart began to waver. Could this underground shopping mall really be as magical as Chen Ming said?

……

The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the entrance to the underground market, casting a warm hue over the originally dim passageway.

Although it was already evening, the underground market was still bustling with activity and noise.

The shop owners were all beaming with joy; today's sales far exceeded their expectations, much to their delight.

Li Yong's clothing store was extremely busy; almost all the clothes he brought were sold out in the blink of an eye, leaving only a few lonely hangers.

"That Chen Ming kid is really something!" Li Yong exclaimed with delight as he busied himself collecting money.

The thick wad of banknotes in his hand made him grin from ear to ear.

He was initially skeptical of Chen Ming's promise, and even harbored some doubts deep down, thinking that the underground shopping mall was just a gimmick.

He never expected it to be so popular, which completely exceeded his expectations.

He roughly calculated that today's sales were more than double the usual amount, which made his heart race with excitement.

The other shop owners also expressed their gratitude to Chen Ming, their smiles becoming much more genuine.

Someone patted Chen Ming on the shoulder, gave him a thumbs up, and praised him, "Young man, you're really something! That move of yours was brilliant!"

Some people even warmly invited Chen Ming to dinner, wanting to properly thank him.

Even Aunt Wang, who initially scoffed at Chen Ming and thought he was just a greenhorn, secretly approached him.

"Little Chen," Aunt Wang said, rubbing her hands together nervously as she approached Chen Ming, her face plastered with a fawning smile.

He said in a low voice, "Look, my tailor shop isn't doing too well. Could we move it to your underground shopping mall?"

Chen Ming looked at Aunt Wang with a slight smile, deliberately teasing her: "Aunt Wang, do you believe me now?"

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Aunt Wang's face, and she quickly explained:

"Xiao Chen, don't laugh at me. I used to be senile and didn't recognize a gem in the dark. I never imagined that this underground shopping mall would be so popular! You're truly a young talent!"

Chen Ming stopped teasing her and said frankly, "Aunt Wang, you should have come sooner! I've always said this underground shopping mall is a treasure trove of good fortune! If you had moved here earlier, your business would definitely be booming by now!"

Upon hearing this, Aunt Wang beamed with joy: "Little Chen, when can my tailor shop move here? What procedures are needed?"

Chen Ming thought for a moment and said, "Move the shop here tomorrow, and I'll reserve a good spot for you! As for the paperwork, just bring your business license and ID card, and I'll take care of the rest."

Aunt Wang was moved to tears: "Thank you so much, Xiao Chen! You're such a kind person!"

Chen Ming smiled and waved his hand: "Aunt Wang, you're too kind! We're all neighbors, it's only right that we help each other out."

Aunt Wang excitedly grasped Chen Ming's hand: "Little Chen, thank you so much! I will definitely work hard from now on and strive to become rich as soon as possible!"

Chen Ming encouraged her, "Aunt Wang, your cooking skills are so good, your business will definitely thrive! If you need any help in the future, just come to me!"

Aunt Wang nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, definitely!"

She secretly rejoiced that she had come to her senses in time and found Chen Ming, otherwise she would have missed this great opportunity to make a fortune.

……

As night falls and the city lights come on, the sky is tinged with a deep blue-purple hue.

However, unlike the tranquility above ground, the underground market shows no signs of becoming deserted.

The air was filled with the enticing aromas of various foods: the charred fragrance of grilled meat, the sweet aroma of milk tea, and the spicy aroma of mala tang (a type of spicy hot pot), making one's mouth water.

The upbeat music emanating from the disco added a touch of passion and energy to the lively atmosphere.

Chen Ming stood in the center of the market, looking at the bustling crowd, a smile on his face.

The shops were brightly lit, and the owners were busy as bees, but their faces were all beaming with joy.

Li Yong's clothing store was bustling with customers; all the clothes he brought had been sold out, and the shelves were empty.

At that moment, he was busy making phone calls to the manufacturer to expedite the replenishment of goods, his tone filled with excitement and anticipation.

"Hey Lao Zhang, it's me, Li Yong! Yes, yes, the new model I told you about last time..."

"Yes! They're all sold out! Send me another batch right away, as many as you have! Yes, urgent! When can you get them the earliest?...Okay, okay, I'll wait!"

Li Yong hung up the phone, rubbed his hands excitedly, and seeing Chen Ming walking over, he quickly went up to him, patted him on the shoulder warmly, and said excitedly:

"Brother Chen Ming, your underground shopping mall is absolutely amazing! My sales today are more than I usually make in a month! I can hardly believe it!"

Chen Ming said with a smile, "Brother Li, this is just the beginning. It'll get even more popular in the future!"

"Absolutely!" Li Yong exclaimed excitedly. "With this location, this environment, and this popularity, it's no wonder it's a hit!"

As night deepened, the number of people in the underground market gradually decreased, and the shops began to prepare to close.

The bosses all had satisfied smiles on their faces as they tallied up their day's gains.

Chen Ming tallied up the sales figures for all the shops, and it turned out to exceed one million!

"One million!" Chen Ming looked at the number in the ledger and was extremely excited.

This is just the first day's revenue; it will be even greater in the future!

……

The next morning, Chen Ming was awakened by a series of urgent phone calls before he was fully awake.

He groggily picked up the phone and heard Li Yong's excited voice coming from the other end:

"Brother Chen Ming! My phone is ringing off the hook! Everyone's calling to ask about the shops!"

Chen Ming instantly snapped back to reality, and the bustling scene of the underground shopping mall from yesterday flashed before his eyes again.

A slight smile played on his lips; it seemed he had underestimated the potential of this underground shopping mall.
