The next day, the sun rose as usual. Life went on peacefully, with nothing out of the ordinary.

The only difference was that Lin Feng felt he had become even more handsome. Specifically, his hair felt incredibly smooth, his skin was fairer, and his facial features were sharper and more defined. He felt a surge of strength, and his body was much lighter. It was as if every part of him had been elevated.

Zhang Yuxi also noticed the changes in Lin Feng. She felt the man before her was somehow different, though she couldn't pinpoint how. It was just enough to make her blush and her heart flutter.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Yuxi leaned in to examine Lin Feng's skin and said with a hint of jealousy, "Look at you. You don't even use skincare, just a facial cleanser. How is your skin getting better every day?"

Lin Feng feigned ignorance, touching his face. "Really? I hadn't noticed."

Zhang Yuxi pressed on, "And that scent on you is stronger than before."

That was something Lin Feng genuinely couldn't smell. Zhang Yuxi had mentioned before that he had a pleasant natural scent, but he had dismissed it as the fragrance from their laundry detergent and paid it no mind. Lately, however, she noticed it had grown more potent. She had even specifically compared it to their laundry detergent and realized the aroma was coming from Lin Feng himself.

It's a subtle, pleasant scent, like an enticing perfume… The top notes are light, making me feel comfortable and relaxed. The middle notes are richer, a dreamy and unique fragrance that sparks the imagination. The base notes linger, an unforgettable and persistent aroma.

"Is that so? I had no idea," Lin Feng replied.

Zhang Yuxi was just as baffled. Other than the perfume she occasionally wore, Lin Feng was someone who never touched the stuff. So where did his fragrance come from? She decided to stop thinking about it if she couldn't figure it out.

"Honey, I'm off to school," she said.

"Okay."

"Bye, Mom!" the children called out.

"Bye-bye, babies!"

Lin Feng devoted all his energy to the children. The early education classes had taught them a lot, and they were much more sensible than before.

A month passed in the blink of an eye. The renovation of the shop on Unity Road was complete, and it looked incredibly cozy. The next step was stocking inventory. The two of them had already decided on their product list while the store was being renovated, and Liu Bo was in charge of sourcing the goods.

He had pulled off something big.

Liu Bo went directly to the manufacturers that produced the big-name brands they used to sell in their old store. His goal was to create their own children's clothing brand, which would be called "Lin's Children's Clothing." By cutting out the brand middlemen, they could earn a larger profit. Furthermore, they planned to expand into e-commerce, launching the brand online at the same time as the physical store.

Consequently, the planned grand opening was postponed repeatedly. Since the shop was their own property, they only had to cover utilities, not rent, so they could afford the delay.

By mid-December, Liu Bo received the first samples and hurried back to Yangcheng.

"Brother, Sister-in-law, take a look," he said eagerly. "These are from the exact same factory that makes the brands we used to sell. There won't be any issues with the quality or workmanship. Check out the samples."

Their target audience was babies from one month to three years old. The styles he had chosen were all previous best-sellers that had received excellent customer feedback.

Zhang Yuxi was thoroughly satisfied.

Lin Feng was also impressed. "You did a great job this time."

Liu Bo smiled. "This wouldn't have gone so smoothly without your financial support, Brother Feng."

They were dealing with a major manufacturer that produced several lines of brands. If Lin Feng, their boss, hadn't been worth over a hundred million, the factory wouldn't have even granted Liu Bo a meeting.

The variety of winter clothing was extensive. There were thermal sets, sleeping bags, vests, sweaters, coats, and down jackets for babies. And those were just the basics. For baby girls, the selection was even wider, with several different types of dresses alone.

Liu Bo, Lin Feng, and Zhang Yuxi spent weeks selecting styles, scrolling through various apps to see what designs were selling best. Finally, the dust settled. Once the factory finished production and the first shipment arrived, they could open for business. Because they paid upfront, the manufacturer prioritized their order. They would receive their first batch of goods in just ten days.

***

Before they knew it, New Year's Day was just around the corner, and the first shipment arrived. Chen Xiaotong was transferred from the main store to manage the new one, and two additional sales clerks were hired. They spent two nights inspecting the inventory and decided to hold the grand opening on New Year's Day.

Meanwhile, the renovations at their Yuhuali property had been finished for over ten days. They were now in the process of purchasing chairs and other furnishings, right on schedule. That location was also set to open on New Year's Day.

When the first shipment of clothes was confirmed, Liu Bo hired a top-tier online marketing team. Apparently, this team was the mastermind behind many successful stores on the major e-commerce platforms. The triplets became models, and the camera shutter went CLICK! CLICK! as they posed in clothes for the online shop.

Following Lin Feng and Liu Bo's vision, the team designed the online store and named it "Quadruplets' Home." After a flurry of activity, the store officially went live on China's two largest e-commerce apps. Simultaneously, they hired four professional customer service representatives. After a brief training period to familiarize them with the products, they started work.

Lin Feng's first apartment in Rongtai Hao Ting was converted into their office. The living room became a workspace, while the two bedrooms housed the four customer service ladies. They were provided with room and board, an excellent benefits package. With customer service established, the next challenge was logistics. Conveniently, there were three courier companies just outside the residential complex, and Liu Bo quickly established partnerships with them.

Through all the hustle and bustle, Liu Bo had lost a good ten pounds, but his spirits were higher than ever.

On New Year's Eve, Liu Bo brought his parents to celebrate with Lin Feng's family at An Lan's restaurant. After seeing what he had accomplished, everyone looked at Liu Bo with a newfound respect.

Liu Bo, however, just laughed it off. "I'm just the one who does the legwork; it's all manual labor. If it weren't for Brother Feng's backing, who would've given me the time of day? They would've kicked me out long ago."

After all, in this day and age, money talks. When the price is right, things naturally fall into place.

An Lan tsked, "Look at you, kid, learning to be humble."

"It's true," Liu Bo said earnestly. "I'm not joking. Those big factories only deal with established clients, big shots, people with real power. A single order can be worth millions, and even their smallest orders are in the hundreds of thousands. The manager I met with saw me once, learned about our situation, and then ignored me completely. I was getting shut out everywhere. I had no other choice but to play my last card: Brother Feng's net worth!"

Intrigued, An Lan asked, "So, what did you do?"

Liu Bo chuckled. "Well, Brother Feng has that Black Gold Card from the bank, right? He asked the bank to pull some strings and verify his assets for them. The moment I showed the documents to the manager, his attitude did a complete 180. The guy's face changed in an instant. He was suddenly all smiles, so warm you'd think he wanted to become my sworn brother right then and there. After that, sealing the deal was a piece of cake."

An Lan gave him a thumbs-up. "Not bad, kid. You did well. Keep up the good work!"

Flattered by the praise, Liu Bo grinned sheepishly.
