After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady

Another weekend.

Xu Musen's second batch of funds could be withdrawn again.

Because there was no recharge system in place, the income was mostly from traffic and registration fees of new users.

But he still pocketed around seventy to eighty thousand.

Xu Musen spent over twenty thousand on a camera, cringing as he did so.

There were other miscellaneous items that, when added up, cost him another ten thousand or more. He also planned to upgrade the family computer; otherwise, video editing would be too inefficient.

The money seemed like a lot, but it sure dwindled quickly once spent.

However, the time to reap the rewards had finally arrived.

Xu Musen took He Qiang along, pretending to be photographers as they headed to his mother's flower shop to continue filming.

As expected, he noticed an increased flow of customers in the shop over the weekend.

Yao Mingyue was there helping out again. Lately, she hadn't been sticking close to Xu Musen, but she got along with his parents as if she were their own daughter.

Everyday, Xu's mother would seek her out for a chat as soon as she got home, and Yao Mingyue's visits to their house were becoming ever more frequent.

Xu Musen always felt that this was definitely another smart move by Yao Mingyue.

If she couldn't win over Xu Musen for now, she'd start by winning over his parents— proximity was an advantage.

Xu Musen had just reached the entrance of the flower shop with his camera when the proprietress of a women's clothing store next door came over with a smile.

"Musen, are you planning to do another advertisement for your family's shop?"

"It's not really an advertisement, just messing around for fun."

Xu Musen felt a surge of joy but managed not to show too much emotion on his face.

The proprietress silently muttered to herself a few words of disbelief. Just messing around for fun?

Your flower shop is almost a social media sensation now, and all the businesses on this street are green with envy because of your customer traffic.

"Musen, your aunt has watched you grow up. As neighbors, we should help each other out, right? How about today you also take some shots for your aunt's shop to promote it a little?"

The proprietress directly expressed her own thoughts.

Xu Musen looked at the eager 'big leek' who had come to him, and his heart bloomed with joy, but he maintained a troubled expression on his face.

"This... Auntie, in fact, the promotions are handled by a company run by a friend of mine."

Xu Musen pointed towards He Qiang, who was standing aside.

He Qiang, completely puzzled, looked at Xu Musen winking and grimacing at him.

He coughed abruptly, put his hands behind his back, and remained silent, playing it cool.

"So... how much did you pay for this service?"

"We are friends, and I was just trying it out, so they did not charge me."

Xu Musen said this without any hint of embarrassment.

"This..."

The proprietress was a bit disappointed.

Having her shop next door, she knew exactly how booming the flower shop's business had been these past days—probably making as much in a day as she would in a normal week.

Watching her look of disappointment, Xu Musen smiled and continued, "However, my friend's company has just recently started, and they should have some offers going on. How about I speak to them for you?"

"Okay, that would be great, thank you, Xiaosen." The proprietress's eyes lit up immediately.

"We're neighbors, after all. It's only right." Xu Musen said cheerfully.

He pulled He Qiang aside and pretended to discuss in depth.

"Damn! You didn't say anything about acting when you called me over," He Qiang muttered quietly.

"What's wrong with being the boss? You don't even need to speak a word; with that face of yours, you look just like a ruthless boss."

"Xu Musen! If you make another comment about my skin color, I'm going to lose it!"

"I'll buy you another fishing rod later."

"Anything for you, Brother Sen!"

"..."

The two of them bantering back and forth looked to the proprietress like Xu Musen was earnestly haggling on her behalf.

Couldn't help feeling touched.

"So, how much do you plan to charge?" He Qiang asked, rubbing his hands nervously as this was his first time negotiating a business deal.

Xu Musen stroked his chin and, finally, broke into a smile, "This time, I'm going for a free promotion."

Xu Musen had thought it over. This kind of model was new to the market, and if he set the price too high, no one would be willing to come. If he set it too low, it would be hard to raise the price later.

Rather, it was better to offer free promotion for a few days and let them see the benefits before setting a price.

At that moment, he would have the upper hand.

"You're not charging any money, are you running a charity?" He Qiang didn't understand at all.

"You have to cast a long line to catch a big fish. I don't need to teach you that," Xu Musen said with a smile, patting him on the shoulder, "Just you watch."

Xu Musen returned to find the proprietress, a smile brimming on his face.

"Xiaosen, what did you say? If they want money, we can negotiate that too..." The proprietress had in fact prepared to pay.

But Xu Musen just smiled and said, "I've just spoken to him, we are neighbors after all, and he's decided not to charge. He'll help you with free promotion for a few days to see the results."

"Really?"

"Really, if you don't believe it, we can start shooting for you right now."

"Great, great, Xiaosen, with your way with words, you'll definitely become a big boss one day..."

The proprietress beamed, delighted at the thought of saving some money.

In the flower shop, Xu's mother, watching her son busy with his camera, chuckled to herself, "This kid, when he smiles like that, he's surely up to no good."

Yao Mingyue was also looking at Xu Musen's figure, and for some reason, she felt like his personality had changed a lot recently.

Especially the confidence he exuded and the easy charm of a mature man, sometimes made Yao Mingyue feel a bit dazzled.

She always felt that this guy was somehow more charming, but also harder to grasp...

Yao Mingyue bit her lip, her mind inevitably flashing back to the girl in the wheelchair.

It was the first time she felt such a strong sense of crisis.

Even though Xu Musen said he wasn't ready to date now, watching them together every day made Yao Mingyue's heart ache.

Her gaze shifted towards Xu's mother, her eyes flickering. As the saying goes, love is between two people, but marriage is between two families.

If I can't win you over directly, I'll start with your family and then, bit by bit, slowly consume you!

You need to cast a long line to catch a big fish... Before you bite, I'll let you have a couple of greedy nibbles, and once you're hooked, I'll consume you completely!

The corners of Yao Mingyue's lips curled up into an unhealthy arc.

At that moment, both Xu's mother and Xu Musen felt a chill down their spines—could they really be feeling cold in the middle of summer?

Xu Musen was taking photos for the women's clothing store, but it felt like something was missing. "Auntie, do you have any... younger girls around? If they could wear the store's clothes, the effect would be better," he said tactfully, glancing at the proprietress's middle-aged, full-figured frame.

"Where would a small shop like ours find models?" the proprietress sighed with a wry smile.

"I can help."

Just then, Yao Mingyue came over with a smile.

As soon as she appeared, many turned their eyes to her, instantly captivated.

Putting aside her morbid personality, Yao Mingyue had a perfect physique.

With a height of 172 cm, her slender curves were like sculptures of art, and her phoenix eyes radiated nobility, giving her an exceptionally distinguished air.

Indeed, even among professional models, she would undoubtedly be the most eye-catching.

"Great, great, what a beautiful girl..." The proprietress beamed as though she had struck gold.

Xu's mother also came over with a laugh, "Yes, Ming Yue wanted to buy clothes, right? You might as well try them on."

Xu's mother was thinking of helping her son finish his work quickly.

But at that moment, Xu Musen's eyelid twitched. Why did it feel like he was getting tangled up with this morbid girl again?

Meanwhile, on the commercial street, An Nuannuan, pushing her wheelchair, was gazing brightly at the various snack shops on either side...
