The new apartment wasn’t as spacious as the first one, and it was smaller in size, but the lighting and ventilation were good. It took all morning to tidy up, and in the afternoon I still had to go to Zhang Zhixin’s place.

Around noon, Chen Gang’s phone rang.

“Bro, have you had lunch?”

Recognizing the voice as his younger brother Chen Luo’s, which always carried a hint of cheerfulness.

Chen Cang and Chen Luo inherited their mother’s looks; they were both very handsome.

“Just did, when are you coming home?”

Chen Luo laughed, “Wait a bit longer. These past few days I’ve been following a crowd scene and have had acting work every day. Yesterday, I even had a scene where I spoke a line! I asked around, and the movie is this year’s New Year’s blockbuster! A big production called ‘ Riverside Family’. I have no idea if my scene will make the final cut.”

Chen Luo never complained to others, even when he got beaten up at school, he would return home with a smile claiming victory.

Chen Cang said, “It must be tiring, right? Do you have enough money? You’re still growing, don’t skimp on food!”

Chen Luo burst into laughter, “Bro, you don’t know me at all. I get along well with everyone wherever I go. The lady in charge of logistics thinks well of me and sometimes adds a chicken leg to my meal when I’m having a boxed lunch; I even feel like I’ve gained weight!”

“Plus, I’ve been having some good luck recently. I’ve made quite a bit in these two months. I just checked and saved over five thousand yuan. I won’t need to ask for living expenses from mom and dad this year.”

” By the way, bro, I was actually planning to ask you something today…about that student loan grant…”

Chen Luo had been independent from a young age, working part-time jobs since high school. Though mischievous, he seldom asked his parents for money, and in financial terms, Chen Luo was more mature earlier than Chen Cang.

With the expensive tuition fees at the School of Media and Communications, Chen Luo could only make more money during vacations and rely on student loans, so the family’s burden was lessened.

When Chen Cang heard this, he immediately said, “Don’t take out loans, I’ve got money.”

At the moment, Chen Cang had quite a bit of cash on hand, around thirty to fifty thousand, mostly from Mr. Xiao’s generosity.

The money from President Zheng was still in the stock market; Chen Cang didn’t know how the system operated, but from time to time, there would be some returns.

These returns were basically on par with Chen Gang’s bonuses…

Not a cent more.

Upon reflection, Chen Cang felt quite emotional and even found it somewhat unreal, thinking about how he made more money in one month than he could have in two or three years before.

Chen Luo couldn’t help but laugh, “Bro, stop showing off. With that little salary of yours, hurry up and find a sister-in-law. When I become a superstar, I’ll buy you a big house.”

Chen Cang replied seriously, “No, I mean it. I recently got a permanent position at the provincial second hospital, and I told mom and dad about it a few days ago. My income has increased as well. Just the other day, I did a surgery and received tens of thousands for it—stitching up for that Xu Ruoyun.”

Hearing about Xu Ruoyun, Chen Luo’s eyes widened, and the two brothers gossiped for a while.

Chen Cang transferred ten thousand yuan to Chen Luo, but Chen Luo sent it back.

This left Chen Cang a mix of laughter and helplessness; that kid was truly stubborn!

After a midday nap, I headed to the cosmetic surgery clinic in the afternoon.

After Xiao Tianhua had her cosmetic surgery, she quickly employed someone to create a logo using her likeness.

Xiao Tianhua’s business wasn’t limited to the pig farm; she also had a surrounding factory that produced cooked pork products. Her products sold quite well in Dongyang Province.

Seeing the logo on her product packaging, Xiao Tianhua felt a weight off her shoulders at last!

In these days, the news of Xiao Tianhua’s cosmetic surgery spread far and wide.

Her friends and girlfriends became instantly envious and jealous upon seeing the results.

This inevitably brought a shine to Xiao Tianhua’s face.

After all, being the object of envy and jealousy among women was a glorious thing!

Among women, as friendly as their relationships might be, comparisons were inevitable, especially regarding beauty—a matter women always took seriously. Everyone looked at how pretty Xiao Tianhua had made herself, and quite a few were green with envy.

In the past few days, Xiao Tianhua was far from idle. Once the logo was set, it was time for promotion, advertising with Dongyang TV; she went there every day.

Reporters also came to Xiao Tianhua’s factory every so often.

Post-surgery, paired with an elegant cheongsam, a simple yet stylish hairstyle, and just a touch of makeup, Xiao Tianhua’s charisma was immediately evident!

The reporter, a young woman in her twenties, couldn’t help but praise her:

“President Xiao truly is a life winner! A happy family, a successful career, and you’re so beautiful and chic!”

If this compliment had been made half a month earlier, Xiao Tianhua would have definitely taken it as flattery, even the kind that was sycophantic and blatantly false.

But now things were different!

She felt that people were speaking the truth!

Even calling her a celestial beauty was the truth!

Even Xiao Tianhua herself felt dreamlike every day as she looked in the mirror!

The reporter continued, “President Xiao, I think no one would be better for your advertisements than yourself. With your charm, when ordinary people see it, they instantly feel reassured!”

These words truly made Xiao Tianhua’s heart blossom!

And she really was tempted!

Hiring a celebrity would cost hundreds of thousands, and her cosmetic surgery was just hundreds of thousands as well. Suddenly, Xiao Tianhua felt like she wasn’t at a loss with this move!

Shoot the advertisement, change the logo.

Xiao Tianhua discovered a problem—sales were up!

Orders were increasing!

This made Xiao Tianhua ecstatic.

She immediately thought of going to Chen Cang to thank him properly.

But then she remembered that Chen Cang, being so principled, definitely wouldn’t accept money.

After much thought, Xiao Tianhua suddenly had an inspiration, a way to kill several birds with one stone!

The very next day, she organized a gathering among her close female friends, inviting quite a few wealthy sisters.

They got together, eating, drinking, singing, enjoying the sauna, and getting massages.

A whole group gazed at Xiao Tianhua admiringly, “Xiao Sister? Who did your surgery? It’s really good, introduce them to us, I want to give it a try too?”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Tianhua felt secretly delighted, but she just smiled faintly, not saying much. Why?

Of course she had to tell them, but not at that moment.

If she told them too soon, they wouldn’t take it seriously.

Don’t you understand what hunger marketing is!?

Xiao Tianhua smiled, “That was my little brother, who just happens to do this. But he’s been busy lately. If you want it done, I can get in touch for you, but… it won’t be cheap!”

No sooner had she said this than the group of wealthy women couldn’t hold back.

Looking down on whom?

Who doesn’t have someone in the family making money!

Money was certainly not an issue for them.

Having reached this point in the conversation, Xiao Tianhua simply smiled, “I’ll tell you all the truth. You all saw my botched surgery a while back, it was a complete mess. After my brother found out, he specially designed it for me. Have you noticed? This is tailor-made, not like the off-the-rack stuff you see on sale. You all know what my face looked like before, right? I just tweaked my eyes a bit, and instantly changed my appearance!”

“No one calls this plastic surgery anymore, but rather ‘micro-aesthetics’! It’s about enhancing your strengths and adjusting your flaws, balancing out the imperfections on your face, and bringing out your facial features. This is what the celebrities do!”

As she spoke, Xiao Tianhua smiled and looked at them, “Actually, I think everyone here is quite pretty, it’s just that we have some flaws. But what’s most important at our age? Charisma! I’ve come to understand plastic surgery, saying that my eyes were done like Joey Wong’s was not suitable. We need our own unique features, refining our charisma is the way to go!”

This speech resonated with them!

What woman doesn’t think they’re beautiful? Deep down, they all have a little princess inside!

They would only feel that they’re not pretty enough, not perfect enough!

Xiao Tianhua’s words certainly struck a chord.

Xiao Tianhua continued, “This requires a really good designer, to tailor the design for us, eliminating the rough edges and refining the details. My little brother is a top designer, often going abroad, flying here and there.”

“I can help everyone get a design by my brother! But… he can only take one or two people a week, after all, he’s quite busy! He also designs for celebrities.”

Upon hearing this, a sense of mystery greatly increased!

That’s how it is with real experts, you have to make an appointment!

At this moment, someone asked, “Xiao Sister? Is it really as amazing as you say?”

Xiao Tianhua smiled mysteriously and didn’t speak. After a while, she slowly said, “Actually, the changes on my face are there for all to see, so I won’t talk about that. Let me just say this—”

“A few days after my surgery, I took a trip to Mirror Mountain.”

At these words, everyone frowned slightly, and one of the women quickly asked, “Did you go to see Master Zhang?”

Xiao Tianhua nodded, “Yeah, but… it was to fulfill a vow.”

Wealthy people love to visit temples and get their fortunes told, which isn’t anything out of the ordinary.

Near An Yang City, there’s Mirror Mountain, home to a Taoist temple, and in that temple lives a master skilled in physiognomy and divination. He’s quite well-known among the upper circles of An Yang City, and it’s a popular place for the elite to go and burn incense.

So, when they heard Xiao Tianhua say this, they all grew curious!

It undeniably added a lot of mystique to the story!

Xiao Tianhua cleared her throat and continued, “This time when I went, I brought quite a few live pigs. I hadn’t planned on seeing Master Zhang, but after I’d fulfilled my vow and was about to leave—”

“Master Zhang saw me and stopped me, asking: who had altered my face? I was a bit stunned too, I said I just had a minor eye adjustment. And guess what Master Zhang said? He said my surgery was a success! And that this cosmetic alteration would be beneficial to my career!”

As Xiao Tianhua said this, she became expressive, lowering her voice, “At that moment, I didn’t think much of it, but these last few days, since I changed the logo, I suddenly noticed that the sales went up immediately.”

The moment everyone heard this, they were suddenly taken aback!

Could there be such a coincidence?

Xiao Tianhua, seeing everyone’s reaction, nodded satisfied, seeing that the effect was good.

But… this matter would still require a discussion with Chen Cang.
