Chapter 840: Chapter 830: The Landlady Gets Me in Trouble

Three days slipped by, and Su Qing’s days seemed to return to their usual state, becoming leisurely again every day.

He felt some regret about Liu Shuzhu leaving, but there was nothing he could do, so he just kept it to himself.

Even without a voiceover, he knew that her departure definitely had something to do with him; otherwise, why would a perfectly good university teacher leave, especially at such a critical time?

Quite simply, she didn’t want him to overthink it, and he could only respect that. As a form of respect for an ex, it’s fine to interact while both are single, but once one has a significant other, it’s better to keep a distance.

However, he couldn’t deny that the online gossip about his relationship was increasing. Although not as frequent as celebrity news, there were still posts about it, even pictures of Su Qing and Shen Yi holding hands at school were posted online.

The next day, Wang Xing called him, arranging for dinner in the evening. Neither brought anyone else, and they chatted about Liu Shuzhu. When Wang Xing heard that Teacher Liu was moving to another city, he, too, felt a bit wistful.

Back in school, Wang Xing had watched him date a teaching assistant, and back then he was so jealous he almost ground his back teeth to powder. But now, he was a bit gloating, saying thankfully that Boss Shen was broad-minded, or it would have been total chaos.

Hearing this, Su Qing nearly choked. Yes, Shen Yi didn’t cause a fuss, and she didn’t even take it seriously, but the next morning, he was in the bathroom for a full hour before coming out.

At the time, anyone who didn’t know might have thought he was bleeding to death.

In any case, Shen Yi laughed at him all day, saying it was a punishment. Despite being inconvenient herself, she let him sweat it out, turned around, and slept, leaving Su Qing to question his life choices until the wee hours.

Sly, really sly, such a cunning tactic.

In a sunlit room on the second floor of Youjian Beauty Salon, Shen Yi was lying on a lounge chair having a skin treatment, with a well-built staff member standing nearby.

Since the salon catered almost exclusively to women, nearly all the staff were female. Mrs. Landlord hired employees with experience in this area, and there were even specialized medical beauty doctors available.

They were capable of designing personalized diet plans to achieve skin whitening effects, based on individual skin types.

Simply put, the level of spending upstairs was significantly higher compared to the first floor.

Fortunately, this time Mrs. Landlord had Shen Yi’s advice and planned all the major details. As for managing the business, she could hire a store manager since she wasn’t skilled at that.

Meanwhile, Da Huang was downstairs as a mascot. Many customers came for Da Huang, doing skincare and petting Da Huang without missing either. At first, Da Huang was excited, but after a few days, even black lace couldn’t tempt it; there were simply too many people.

Now, it picked its interactions based on looks; it played more with attractive people and pretended to be dead to average ones, leaving the staff dumbfounded.

Even though Da Huang had quite a few fans, some of whom were quite well-to-do women, it still remained aloof.

But the more cool Da Huang acted, the more those women loved it.

"Little brother, what are you looking at?" Shen Yi had a face mask on, even applying something on her arms and thighs. With a young lady massaging her, she looked very relaxed.

Today was a Sunday; both had the day off, so they came to enjoy themselves. However, Su Qing was too naive, he ended up watching others enjoy themselves.

Hearing this, Su Qing semi-reclined in a reclining chair, not even looking up as he replied, "Checking the box office. Not bad, it’s already at 1.1 billion."

"So fast? It’s increased?" Shen Yi asked, a bit stunned.

Su Qing nodded with a smile, "Yeah, the daily box office has been rising lately, but it should be peaking soon. The trend should be going down afterward, but it’s been quite profitable!"

As he spoke, Su Qing’s grin was from ear to ear. Although the box office for "Life-changing Matters" wasn’t as explosive as "Wandering Earth," nor was it as popular, he didn’t lose a cent of the money he earned from it.

With a total investment of only 60 million, he personally held half of it; simply put, he’d hit the jackpot.

"Please don’t move, you can wash it off in half an hour!" At this point, the well-built woman reminded her.

Hearing this, Shen Yi nodded, and then the woman tidied up and left.

"You can make so much money, little brother. Looks like I won’t have to work so hard in the future. You should just support me!" Shen Yi joked.

At the time, she wasn’t wearing much, just shorts up to her thighs and a tube top on her upper body.

Virtually most of her skin was exposed, which was acceptable given they were a couple; otherwise, Su Qing might have been kicked out.

Her clothes were made of thin fabric, making his eyes hurt.

"I’m making so much money, but I haven’t seen you reward me?" Su Qing said, rolling his eyes at her.

"Reward? Wait a couple of days, and I’ll reward you then, can’t do it now!"

Su Qing: ...

"I meant, can’t you let me enjoy a bit as well? Look at my dry skin, it’s all dark, get me a skin treatment too, you know everyone has a love for beauty!"

He wasn’t particularly concerned about skincare, but the massage skills of the earlier staff were indeed professional. Even Shen Yi, despite being a woman herself, was moaning for quite a while, so he felt he needed some relaxation as well.

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help feeling more aggrieved towards Du Qiang. Not for anything else, but because when the Qingshuiwa Platform was shut down, it was him who brought in the people.

Now, he couldn’t even find a place to get a foot massage with Old Wang.

"Don’t even think about it; you’re starting to become unruly in front of me, aren’t you? Trying to take advantage, huh? Feel miserable, I’ll take you to the hospital tomorrow to get your bones adjusted!" Even though Shen Yi had a face mask on, Su Qing could still see her rolling her eyes big time.

As they were talking, the door opened, and Mrs. Landlord entered the room, unusually not wearing her usual long dress. Instead, she wore a loose robe that was knee-length, looking like she just had a treatment next door.

She wore slippers on her well-shaped feet, with her toes looking naturally beautiful.

"What are you chatting about, so loud?"

Mrs. Landlord’s face was beaming with joy. The booming business in the store over the past few days had given her a second spring in her career, making her very happy.

"Hmph, someone was looking at me getting this done so comfortably and wanted to experience it themselves. I was just about to take him to the hospital for some bone adjustment!" Shen Yi gritted her teeth with a smile.

Hearing this, Su Qing didn’t even want to say a word, as if he were some lecher.

Hearing this, Wen Nanqing laughed softly, then walked behind Su Qing and said with a smile, "Well, since Xiao Yi has spoken, I can’t help you.

But you know, homemade dishes can get boring over time. Let’s try a new taste, I’ll personally give you a shoulder rub to thank you for the promotion you did for me!"

With that, Mrs. Landlord placed both hands on his shoulders and began to apply pressure.

"How is it, President Su? Is this pressure alright?"

Su Qing: "Hiss~~ Don’t~~ don’t stop, the pressure feels great, it’s satisfying!"

Seeing this, Shen Yi sat up abruptly from her dying state, rising effortlessly with her core: "Sister Qing~~~ you just spoil him too much!"

Upon hearing this, Wen Nanqing couldn’t help but smile, "Come on, Xiao Su is so excellent, you should reward him, and besides, what’s a massage anyway? If you really mind, I’ll hire a couple of male masseurs over tomorrow, what’s the big deal!

You’ve gotten over your ex-girlfriend, and you’re still jealous over a massage. Xiao Su is just in his early twenties, finally has some money, so he can’t enjoy a bit?

Unlike you, who has been a wealthy lady for many years now, what haven’t you eaten or enjoyed? Right, Xiao Su!"

Hearing this, Su Qing couldn’t help but give a thumbs-up: b(￣▽￣)

"Sister Wen, from today on, you’re like my real sister, you totally get me!"

"Of course, what kind of relationship do we share? If Xiao Yi gives you any attitude, just come over to mine, and I’ll cook for you!"

"Really?"

"Of course!"

Shen Yi: (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

For some reason, she always feels like the two are implying something about her, is this a normal relationship?

"What kind of attitude could I give him? His ex-girlfriend even came over, and I just asked him to wash some clothes for me, wouldn’t dare give Master Su attitude. This little girl doesn’t have that kind of courage!"

With these words, a crafty glint flashed in Mrs. Landlord’s eyes:

"Oh? Xiao Su, how’s your ex-girlfriend’s body compared to Xiao Yi’s? Which feels better?"

As soon as the words left her mouth, Su Qing felt a murderous aura.

"Mrs. Landlord, you’re getting me in trouble!"
