After returning to the capital to farm, the abandoned concubine made a comeback.

Lin Qin's little schemes went far beyond just decorating.

She's going to stir things up, something big!

Before the new store even opened, she set up a "trial area" at the entrance, truly mastering the concept of "beta testing".

The demo area was decorated exquisitely.

The tables, chairs, and benches were all painted in macaron colors, so pink and delicate, it's sure to make any girl's heart flutter.

The table was covered with all sorts of trinkets, such as scented candles, essential oil soaps, and various flavors of "happy water," making it dazzling to look at.

The most eye-catching feature is the "touch wall," which is covered with small pieces of fabric of different materials that feel soft and smooth to the touch—a true stress reliever.

Lin Qin stood in the center of the demo area, her palms sweating with nervousness.

She would look up at the sky, then at the ground, and then at the crowd of onlookers every now and then, like a primary school student waiting for the teacher to correct her homework.

She silently vowed to herself, "I must succeed! I must let everyone experience the charm of this new business model!"

Lin Qin really went all out for this event.

Instead of spending a lot of money to hire internet celebrities to endorse her, she directly invited ordinary people from the neighborhood.

This action completely baffled the onlookers.

"What's going on? Why didn't they invite any big names, but instead invited us 'spectators'?"

"Could it be that Boss Lin is planning to promote the idea that 'everyone is a spokesperson'?"

People were talking amongst themselves, their faces filled with doubt.

Lin Qin, however, remained calm and composed, a mysterious smile playing on her lips.

That smile was just like that of a cunning and scheming "queen".

"Dear neighbors, I've invited you all here today so you can experience our shop's new features!" Lin Qin's clear and melodious voice instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Everyone looked at each other, their eyes filled with curiosity and anticipation.

They were like a group of seduced kittens, eager to know what Lin Qin was really up to.

A few of the bolder ones were already eager to try, sticking out their curious fingers.

Seeing this, Lin Qin's smile deepened.

Her eyes sparkled with confidence.

She knew that the real show was just beginning.

"Please feel free to try it out. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me anytime." After saying that, Lin Qin stepped aside and quietly waited for everyone's reaction.

In the crowd, an elderly woman shakily picked up a bar of essential oil soap, sniffed it carefully, and then exclaimed in surprise, "Oh my, this smells so good! I love this soap!"

On the other side, a young man was frantically touching the "touch wall," muttering to himself, "This wall is so comfortable! I feel like my soul has been elevated!"

Zhu Ling looked at Lin Qin

Just then, Lin Qin smiled mysteriously and slowly said to the crowd, "Next..."

"Next, I'm going to show you how to activate the 'easy win' mode with just one click!" Lin Qin's voice was playful, like a game streamer giving a beginner's tutorial.

She picked up a delicate little wooden box from the table, opened it, and inside were various membership cards neatly arranged.

"Look closely, everyone!" Lin Qin pulled a card from the box like a magician. "This isn't an ordinary card; it's our store's 'VIP pass'! With it, you can enjoy all sorts of exclusive benefits!" As she spoke, she skillfully scanned the QR code on the card with her phone, then showed everyone her phone screen. "Look, successfully linked! From now on, when you buy something, just a tap will automatically earn you points and discounts! Isn't that convenient?"

The onlookers' eyes widened instantly, as if they were witnessing some kind of cutting-edge technology.

Customer Li, a typical "wait-and-see" type, who had been skeptical before, couldn't help but step forward and ask curiously, "Boss Lin, this...this is too amazing! How does it work?"

Lin Qin smiled as brightly as a flower, patiently demonstrating step by step. Her voice was clear and melodious, tinged with a hint of pride: "It's very simple! Just download our store's APP, bind your membership card, and you'll unlock a whole new world! From now on, you can shop with ease from the comfort of your home!" As she demonstrated, she would occasionally glance at the crowd of onlookers, her enthusiastic smile seemingly saying, "Come and praise me! Come and praise me!"

The crowd was abuzz with discussion, marveling at how incredibly smooth the operation had been.

Some exclaimed, "My God, this is a godsend for lazy people!" Others nodded repeatedly, "I have to get this membership card!" Still others couldn't wait to take out their phones and download the app.

Seeing the surprise and approval gradually appear on everyone's faces, Lin Qin was overjoyed. Her sense of accomplishment exploded instantly, just like leveling up in a game—it was so satisfying!

She knew that her new business model had successfully taken its first step!

While everyone was captivated by Lin Qin's "fancy moves," Zhu Ling stood silently on the periphery of the crowd, like a guardian angel.

He observed his surroundings discreetly to prevent any unexpected incidents.

Whenever someone gets close to Lin Qin, he subtly adjusts his position to ensure her safety.

His figure was tall and steady, his eyes focused and gentle, as if saying, "I'm here, don't be afraid!"

Lin Qin caught a glimpse of Zhu Ling's figure, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart, like a ray of sunshine in winter.

She looked at Zhu Ling, and they smiled at each other, everything understood without words, a sweet atmosphere filling the air.

“Alright everyone,” Lin Qin cleared her throat, a mysterious smile on her face, “That’s all for today. Next…” She paused deliberately, drawing out her words, and then pointed in the direction of the shop.

"Now, it's time to witness a miracle!" Lin Qin winked playfully and pointed to the shop. "Want to know more benefits? Then hurry in and become a member!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd erupted like a pot boiling over, rushing towards the shop.

"I want a card! I want to be a VIP!" "Give me one, hurry up!" The scene was so lively that it was comparable to a fan meeting at a concert.

Lin Qin was so busy that she barely had time to breathe, registering member information while beaming from ear to ear.

She was so excited that anyone who didn't know better would think she had won the lottery.

"Name? Age? Address?..." Lin Qin quickly wrote down the information while interacting with the customer. "Oh my, ma'am, your hands are so soft! You must take good care of them regularly!" "Young man, your hairstyle is so trendy! You're on the cutting edge of fashion!" Her sweet words were like honey, making people feel warm inside.

Those around Lin Qin watched her bustling about with envy.

"Tsk tsk, this Boss Lin is really amazing, her business is booming!" "That's right, it's only been a few days and she's already attracted so many people, it's truly impressive!" "Sigh, why didn't I think of this trick? I've really lost out!" Envy, jealousy and resentment filled the air, as if Lin Qin had a halo above her head, shining with the light of success.

Lin Qin was overjoyed as she watched the number of members grow steadily.

"It seems my 'easy win' plan is about to succeed!" She clenched her fist, her eyes sparkling with confidence, as if she could already see a bright future ahead.

"This is just the beginning. In the future, I will let more people enjoy the joy of 'winning without effort'!"

However, just as Lin Qin was immersed in joy, some discordant voices began to spread among the crowd.

"Have you heard? It seems like there's something wrong with Boss Lin's shop..." "I heard she sells counterfeit goods, she's just trying to scam people!" "And also, I heard she..." The rumors spread like wildfire, casting a shadow over Lin Qin's activities.

Lin Qin was furious when she heard these rumors.

"How could these people slander me like this?" She felt extremely wronged, as if someone had splashed a bucket of dirty water on her, making her feel uncomfortable all over.

Seeing this, Zhu Ling gently put his arm around Lin Qin's shoulder and comforted her tenderly, "Don't worry, I'll handle everything." His voice was deep and strong, like a warm current flowing into Lin Qin's heart.

Lin Qin looked up and saw the determination in Zhu Ling's eyes, and her heart was immediately filled with strength.

"I cannot be defeated by these rumors!" She took a deep breath, her eyes shining with determination. "I will clarify the facts and let everyone know the truth!"

"I have a way..." Lin Qin's lips curled into a confident smile. "Fellow villagers, brothers and sisters, don't miss this opportunity! Today, we're going to reveal a shocking secret!" Lin Qin's voice was clear and loud, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

Behind Lin Qin was a group of people, all beaming with joy, holding products from Lin Qin's shop. Their expressions made it seem as if they had won five million.

"I used their soap, and my skin is so smooth, like a peeled egg!" An older woman enthusiastically showed off her arm, her fair skin glistening in the sunlight.

"Me too! I used their 'happy water' and now I feel so energetic. I can climb five floors in one go without breaking a sweat!" A young man chimed in, his voice so powerful that you'd think he was practicing qigong.

Lin Qin was overjoyed to see these enthusiastic supporters; this effect was more effective than hiring a hundred internet celebrities!

She cleared her throat and addressed the crowd: "I know there have been some rumors circulating about me lately, saying that I sell counterfeit goods and cheat people! Today, I'm here, in front of everyone, to clarify everything!"

She paused, her eyes resolute, her tone firm and powerful: "I, Lin Qin, dare to guarantee with my own integrity that all the products in my shop are genuine and of the highest quality, and I treat everyone fairly, young and old! If there are any problems, everyone is welcome to come and supervise at any time!"

A burst of enthusiastic applause erupted from the crowd, with people expressing their support for Lin Qin.

"Boss Lin, we believe in you!" "Those who spread rumors are truly despicable!" "Boss Lin, keep it up!"

Lin Qin was deeply moved as she looked at the trusting eyes of everyone.

She knew that she had won over the hearts of the people and the market.

As a result, the store's popularity has increased further, making it a local "internet celebrity store".

Every day, people come from far and wide, just to experience the joy of "winning without effort".

However, Lin Qin did not become arrogant or complacent because of this.

She knew that there was still a long way to go to reach the goal of 500 people.

"Zhu Ling, do you think we can really complete the task within the allotted time?" Lin Qin asked, looking at the ever-increasing number of members.

Zhu Ling gently grasped Lin Qin's hand, her eyes resolute: "Don't worry, we can definitely do it."

“But…” Lin Qin wanted to say something, but Zhu Ling interrupted her.

"Shh!" Zhu Ling placed a finger on Lin Qin's lips and smiled mysteriously, "I have a feeling that tomorrow..."
