Reborn not to be a simp, the school beauty's whole family goes crazy

"Fresh fruit, money back guarantee if it's not sweet!"

The stalls were filled with all sorts of goods, a dazzling array.

Chen Dong and Chu Mengran weaved through the crowd, constantly being jostled around, but they didn't care, focusing intently on finding suitable items.

They saw the badge of "Black Cat Detective," with its exquisite and lifelike design. Black Cat Detective's eyes were bright and piercing, as if he were guarding justice.

There are also keychains featuring the Calabash Brothers, each one adorable and charming. The seven Calabash Brothers are all different in appearance, making it irresistible to take them home.

Chu Mengran picked up a hair clip with a Sun Wukong design printed on it, her eyes lighting up as she excitedly said, "Dongzi, this will definitely be popular with young girls. Look how vividly the Sun Wukong design is drawn; it will look especially pretty on them."

Chen Dong smiled and nodded: "That's right, let's take more. Let's also see if we can find any other merchandise from popular anime."

While selecting a snack machine, Chen Dong bargained with the stall owner: "Boss, can you make this machine cheaper? We're buying a lot. Look, this machine looks a bit old, and we'll definitely come back again in the future. Let's make friends this time, so give us a discount."

The stall owner scratched his head, looking somewhat embarrassed, and said, "Brother, this is already the lowest price I can offer. I can't go any lower. This machine is of very good quality; look at the material, how thick it is."

Chen Dong persisted: "Boss, you see, we're just a small business, every little bit helps. If you give us a discount, we'll definitely recommend you to our friends."

In the end, the stall owner reluctantly agreed to lower the price. Chen Dong and Chu Mengran exchanged a smile and moved the snack machine aside with satisfaction.

The two then selected some stationery: exquisite notebooks with cute cartoon characters printed on the covers; adorable cartoon pencils, each seemingly telling an interesting story, and each full of childlike fun.

Auntie stood aside, watching them bustling about, feeling both touched and gratified.

She held Chu Mengran's hand, her eyes slightly moist: "Mengran, you are such a good child. Thank you so much, Auntie. If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't know what to do. These days, I've been so anxious, like an ant on a hot pan. Seeing the shop so deserted, I couldn't sleep at night."

Her voice choked with emotion; the pressure and grievances of the past few days transformed into tears of gratitude that slowly streamed down her cheeks.

Chu Mengran smiled and gently patted her aunt's hand: "Aunt, don't be so polite. Chen Dong and I are family, it's only right that we help you. As long as the business in the store can improve, it's all worth the hard work. You've worked so hard for this family for so many years, now it's our turn to share the burden for you."

Her smile was warm and firm, conveying sincerity and kindness, like the warm sun in winter, warming Auntie's heart.

After a busy day, the store has a brand new look.

The jewelry section was filled with all kinds of trendy accessories, shimmering with a captivating glow under the lights.

Those cartoon-themed accessories attract people's attention, as if beckoning to the children.

The snack area was filled with the aroma of oden and mala tang, the rich fragrance permeating the entire store and making mouths water.

The stationery section is neatly arranged with the stationery commonly used by students, each item placed in an orderly manner, waiting for the children to choose.

Looking at the renovated shop, Auntie San's face lit up with a long-lost smile, a smile full of joy and anticipation: "Dongzi, Mengran, you two are amazing! The shop is sure to thrive now. Auntie San feels hopeful again, as if she can see the bustling business of the past."

His eyes were full of anticipation for the future, as if he could already see the bustling scene of people coming and going in the store, brimming with hope.

Chen Dong smiled and said in a steady tone, "Third Aunt, this is just the first step. Next, we need to find ways to attract customers. Having a good storefront is not enough; we need to let people know that we have good products in our store. We can put up some eye-catching posters at the store entrance, with our featured products and special offers listed on them."

His eyes shone with wisdom and strategy, as if he was already planning his next move and was full of confidence in the future.

Chu Mengran nodded and added, "Yes, Third Aunt. We can do some promotional activities, such as giving away snacks with the purchase of jewelry, or giving away stationery with a certain amount. This way, customers will feel like they're getting a good deal and will be more willing to patronize us. In addition, we can also distribute flyers at the school gate to promote our store. We can print some brightly colored flyers with pictures of the store's popular products on them, which will definitely attract the students' attention."

The idea is novel and practical, providing a feasible solution to attract customers and making people's eyes light up.

Auntie nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, we'll do it your way. I don't know anything about these things, so I'll listen to you. I trust you, and I'm sure you can run the shop well."

Her voice was full of trust, placing all her hopes on Chen Dong and Chu Mengran, and having complete faith in them.

Just then, Chu Mengran's mother, Chu Yu, also arrived at the store.

She was wearing a simple gray coat with a few patches, but she sewed them on neatly.

Her hair was neatly tied back with a black rubber band, and she wore a kind smile.

Chu Yu is an old friend of Third Aunt. Hearing that the shop was being renovated, she came over to help.

Third Aunt, with her sharp eyes, spotted Chu Yu immediately. She quickly went to greet her, took her hand, and smiled broadly: "Chu Yu, you've come at the right time. I was just about to discuss something with you."

Her voice carried a hint of mystery, making one wonder what she was going to say.

Chu Yu was somewhat puzzled and frowned slightly: "Sister Guilan, what's wrong?"

Her eyes were full of curiosity, wondering what her aunt was up to, and her heart was filled with anticipation.

Auntie looked at Chu Mengran, then at Chen Dong, and said with a smile, "I'd like to ask you to help me manage one of the stores. Would you be willing? You've been helping me for a while now and are familiar with the store's situation. Besides, you're a responsible and hardworking person, and I trust you."

His eyes were full of expectation, hoping that Chu Yu would agree to his request, and his eyes revealed his trust in Chu Yu.

Chu Yu paused for a moment, then waved her hand, a hint of hesitation on her face: "How can this be? I have no experience running a store independently. If I mess it up, how can I face you? Besides, this store is so important to your family, I'm afraid I can't bear the responsibility."

Her voice was filled with worry, after all, running a store independently was no small matter, and she was afraid that she would not be able to handle it and would let down her aunt's trust.

Third Aunt shook her head and patted Chu Yu's hand: "You don't need to worry, your experience in helping me before is enough."
