Chapter 44 Illegal Operations
At that time, Futian was far less prosperous than it is today. It was still a suburb and some distance from Luohu. The locals on both sides would not know each other, let alone foreigners.

I exchanged all the fragrant coins into RMB, and stayed in the hotel where I stayed for half a month when I first arrived.

In the past half a month, I have traveled all over the Futian District.

In the end, I rented 35 a month for a [-]-square-meter small frontage on a street across the road from an urban village in Futian District.

That shop used to be a hairdressing shop, but because of poor management, it kept losing money. The original boss only wanted me 1 yuan, and left me the lease of the shop, the furniture and chairs in the shop, an old TV and air conditioner.

I spent another [-] to repaint the store, and kept the reclining chair for hair washing, removed the mirrors, and bought a new half reclining chair for resting. On the opposite side of the reclining chair, there is a television set.

That way, I can be open during the day and sleep on that recliner after the doors close.

On the [-]th day of the first lunar month, I put up a professional foot bath sign, opened the door for business, and put a whip at the door.

I saw an advertisement on my brand for trial opening at 20 yuan for half an hour, and two customers came in that day.

But in the next few days, there was not a single guest.

Maybe it was because of my young age, but I was still quite polite. The lady selling fruit next to me told me that I should close the shop as soon as possible.

She said that this area has not yet been developed. The office buildings next to our store are all under construction. There are few pedestrians. We've been here.

Even if someone came, except for the fishermen and farmers who went ashore in the village in the city, they were all migrant workers. Those local people had a lot of money for demolition fees and rent, but they would rather play mahjong at home than do anything purely healthy. Foot massage, and those wage earners don't have the spare money to enjoy it.

It turned out that the hairdressing shop lost money after half a year without customers because of this.

Otherwise, the rent of such a large-scale facade would not be so cheap
I was terrified to hear it.

In the next few days, there were still no customers, and I felt that my hair was almost graying.

After thinking about it for a long time, I went to the public phone booth and called Fu Rong.

After my customers increased, Fu Rong stopped coming. His friend said that it was the end of the year, and Fu Rong's business was very busy. At that time, he made fun of me. He left me Fu Rong's phone number and told me to call him by myself. Come and wash your feet.

At that time, I just laughed it off and didn't take it to heart at all.

It's just that he subconsciously remembered the phone number.

That Xiangcheng phone number.

That phone call cost me 50 yuan!

The phone didn't ring for long before Fu Rong answered it. I stammered and told him that I was Gu Qing, the one who washed his feet and pain.

He was taken aback for a moment, then laughed on the phone, and then asked me where I am now, saying that he went to that store before the New Year, but the people in the store said that I went back to my hometown for a blind date.

I told him that I had changed places, and I opened a small shop by myself, which is only a ten-minute drive from Huanggang Port. If he wants to soak his feet, he can come to me.

I also told him the specific street name, and my shop name.

He kept saying yes and hung up the phone.

I stood in the phone booth for a long time before putting down the receiver.

In the next few days, I stood at the door every day, for fear that he would find the wrong place.

But Fu Rong didn't show up.

But the guest who came in on the first day of opening came, and brought his wife over, asking me to give him a discount, still at 20 yuan for half an hour.

I had an idea at the time, and immediately said yes, saying that as long as he paid twenty times at a time, I could give him a discount.

The guest's wife quit, who knows what will happen if she says to pay first?

I sat her down and gave her a foot massage.

Grandma Liu has many prescriptions for herbal foot bath soup, and I will configure them later, so I still remember most of them.

However, most of Granny Liu's prescriptions are specially targeted. If the body is not in the right condition, it will have a counterproductive effect.

I didn't learn the essence, and I didn't dare to use those prescriptions with special curative effects. I only chose three popular prescriptions, which are useful to anyone. Before opening, I bought the medicinal materials and prepared them myself.

The guest's wife was a fat man in her early forties, and she was sweating profusely after walking a few steps.

I chose a medicine pack for invigorating qi and removing dampness, soaked it in water, and then massaged her Yongquan acupoint.

I gave her a full massage for half an hour, and covered her with a clean thin blanket who was already asleep on the couch.

After she woke up, she threw 400 yuan to me and said she would come every day.

The next day, she brought a few more women over, who were said to be poker friends.

Fast forward to April, and the number of customers who applied for the frequency card at my place reached [-]. Although they either came together, or there were no one at all, I could still pay the rent, water and electricity, and barely survived.

I completely forgot the call to Fu Rong.

I calculated my income, and calculated how much I could charge if the reputation went out and more and more customers came.

On that day, industrial and commercial personnel in uniform came to the door.

They asked me if I had three certificates.

I'm completely bewildered.

What three certificates?What business license?What tax certificate?What special industry license?

I have no idea!

The industrial and commercial personnel asked me for my ID card again.

I knew it was bad when I took out my ID card.

Those people asked me to close the door, put a seal on my door, and said they would fine me.

I blocked them from closing, I said, I don't know about those, if necessary, I can go to make up, but this store is all I have, if it closes, I will have nothing!
At that time, the fat aunt happened to come over for a massage, and she also helped me talk, saying that this is just a child who relies on his own ability to feed, as for what?
He also said that those people are full, and they don't care about the chaos of the vegetable market, but let them take care of this place.

Those people were blushed by the fat aunt's scolding, and they blurted out that someone had reported that the store was doing illegal activities, and it's good that they didn't pursue it now.

When those people said these words, I saw the fruit stall proprietress who was poking her head around, retracting her head.

The fat aunt also saw it, and yelled at the proprietress with her hands on her hips.

From what she said, I probably understood it.

It turned out that the proprietress next to her had been wanting to take over this facade too, but she was unwilling to pay one thousand and two, so...

But even if the fat aunt blocked the scolding, those industrial and commercial personnel still put a seal on it, and were going to move the TV and chairs in my store.

They said no matter what, if I want to open the door for business, I must have three certificates, and they must be full!

Now I am operating illegally like this!
Illegal business tools must be confiscated!
The fat aunt got angry, she rolled up her sleeves and was ready to have sex with them directly.

At that moment, Fu Rong appeared at the door.

He held a briefcase in one hand and a cigarette in the other, and looked at us in surprise.

I didn't care about talking to him at all, I just hugged the fat aunt who was going crazy with a blushing face, and I said, it was my fault, I was ignorant, I didn't know.

I don't know what the three certificates are, and I don't know who only can do the Dharma...

After Fu Rong listened for a few minutes, he went up to the industrial and commercial personnel and said that they had made a mistake. He opened this store, but he was busy and didn't have time to come here, so he didn't go through the formalities. He would Those who go through the formalities immediately will also pay the fine, so let them be merciful and don't remove all the things in my store.

I was there in a daze with my fat aunt.

At that time, Fu Rong in my eyes was covered with golden light, which was dazzling.
