Chapter 47: Blossoms That Charm All Who See

It was in the discount section, but there was no price tag.

“Beautiful boss, how much is this scarf on special?” she asked.

The owner, a woman in her thirties with heavy makeup, glanced at Shi Qingqing, who was dressed plainly, carrying a schoolbag, as well as groceries and fruit—a typical high school student.

She replied indifferently, “Original price is one hundred and fifty, special price is eighty.”

“Uh... could you make it a bit cheaper?” Shi Qingqing had just over fifty.

The owner responded impatiently, “All my scarves are made from the finest mulberry silk, with vibrant printed colors and hand-stitched edges. Eighty is already the special price, no bargaining.”

With that, she turned to greet other customers, ignoring Shi Qingqing from then on.

Shi Qingqing felt awkward. Oh, come on, isn't there any mercy for the poor?

She really liked the scarf today—it seemed perfect for her mother.

Was there any way to get the price down to fifty, so she could afford it?

Suddenly, Shi Qingqing remembered a new reward item in her old phone...

“Adorable Hundred Percent, Everyone Loves Me”

“Increases the host’s charm for five minutes, making everyone adore you and flowers bloom in your presence. Interactions with others become twice as effective!”

Everyone adores you, flowers bloom, interactions become more effective... What does 'twice as effective' really mean?

Could it work?

She’d only know if she tried.

She hadn’t dared use this item on Zhan Su, fearing that if Young Master Zhan developed feelings for her, the maid contract would last ten thousand years—and then how could she ever escape?

Ahem!

Shi Qingqing opened her phone, searched for a while, and finally found an app icon at the bottom that looked like a storage chest.

She tapped it.

Sure enough, it was a storage slot for items.

Making sure no one was watching, she quietly claimed the item.

A small round card appeared in her palm, identical to the last invincible x-ray card.

She crushed it without hesitation.

The card vanished.

Instantly, Shi Qingqing felt something inside her change.

There was a large floor mirror nearby, and she saw her reflection...

She was startled.

At that moment, she was surrounded by a faint glow, something akin to the angelic aura seen on TV.

So this was what charm looked like?

Shi Qingqing couldn’t afford to be distracted—this effect only lasted five minutes.

She had to get down to business.

“Beautiful boss!”

The owner turned back, exasperated, casting a reproachful glance at Shi Qingqing. “Little sister, what is it now? I’m very busy.”

“I want to give this scarf to my mother as a birthday gift, but I don’t have enough money. Could you give me a discount?” Shi Qingqing asked tentatively.

All traces of impatience and disdain vanished from the owner’s gaze.

Suddenly, she remembered her own childhood—poverty and hardship, her family struggling. By the time she had earned enough to open her own shop, her mother was already gone.

The greatest sorrow in this world is wanting to care for your parents when they are no longer here.

This young girl clearly wasn’t well-off, but her filial heart was rare and precious.

Years of business had hardened her, made her witness all kinds of human nature, yet this girl effortlessly touched the softest part of her heart.

Just now, she’d thought the girl was ordinary, nothing special. Somehow, now, the more she looked, the more extraordinary she seemed.

Unmistakably unusual.
