Chapter 229: Chapter 230: The Troublemakers Have Arrived

Their shop had been open for a year and had seen some success, but compared to Li Yang’s, it was lagging far behind.

"They must be stealing so much of our business!" the boss grumbled.

"Then why aren’t you thinking of a solution?" The boss’s wife flared up as soon as she heard him. "All you do is stand there and run your mouth. Look at their business! If you’re so capable, go steal their customers, then our business will be fine."

The boss stood up. "What’s the point of talking? You go over there and take a look. Dammit, I refuse to believe it."

The boss’s wife thought for a moment. "Should I go over and check them out?"

"Go!" the boss said, gritting his teeth. "Dammit, we opened a shop here. We can’t just let them run us out of business."

"But what if they’re rude to me?" The boss’s wife grew worried again. "It’ll be so obvious what I’m doing."

"Don’t worry, they won’t dare do anything to you. You think your husband’s past was for nothing?" the boss said coldly.

Hearing this, the boss’s wife finally smiled. "Alright, alright. I guess you are good for something. I’ll head over in a bit."

As word of mouth spread, more and more people came to their shop to inquire, bringing a constant smile to Zhang Rong’s face.

But just then, the boss’s wife sashayed in.

Zhang Rong’s expression darkened when she saw her.

As a competent business elite, Zhang Rong had naturally done her research before opening her shop. She knew all about the rival store—the owner, He Gang, and his wife, Tang Ru.

But in business, you can’t just expect others not to compete just because you were there first.

’Now that our business is booming, this woman is probably not here with good intentions.’

"Why, if it isn’t Boss Tang..." Zhang Rong quickly went to greet her, her face wreathed in smiles. "I never expected Boss Tang to grace our little shop with her presence."

"Boss Zhang..." Tang Ru glanced at her, cursing ’What a vixen!’ in her heart, before finally speaking. "I’ve heard from many people that your shop is quite good, so I thought I’d come and try it out."

"Of course!" Zhang Rong said with a beaming smile. "What can I help you with? You can tell me what you need, and I’ll arrange the service for you."

"Aren’t you the ones who can figure out the problem without me saying anything? Come on, take a look and tell me what’s wrong with me!"

Zhang Rong froze for a moment, then said apologetically, "I’m terribly sorry, but our therapist isn’t here today. You could describe your symptoms, though. Our remedies are very effective. As long as you tell us what’s wrong, we can find a solution for you."

"What a joke!" Tang Ru exclaimed. "Are you trying to fool people? Your therapist isn’t even here, yet you dare to prescribe remedies randomly? Aren’t you afraid you’ll kill someone?"

Some of the more timid customers were startled, and after a moment’s thought, they realized she had a point.

Zhang Rong understood now. ’She’s here to make a scene.’

’But to be so blatant about it... that’s just classless.’

But Zhang Rong had seen her share of trouble. She just laughed and said, "Boss Tang, no need for such pleasantries. You want our therapist to come over, is that right? Fine. Just wait a moment, I’ll get him here right away."

With that, Zhang Rong had Tang Ru wait there while she went to call Li Yang.

"You brat, someone’s here to trash the place! You need to get over here and deal with it. She’s plopped herself down and won’t leave. Looks like she’s trying to ruin our reputation."

Li Yang was taken aback. "People like that actually exist?"

"You bet they do! Get over here now!" Zhang Rong said. "It’s one of our competitors. If you don’t come, what are we going to do when she trashes our reputation?"

"Alright!" Li Yang agreed.

’This is the shop that makes me money. Anyone who gets in the way of my fortune is my enemy.’

He hastily drove into the city and barged into the shop, shouting, "Who’s causing trouble here?"

Zhang Rong shot him a glare, then pointed to Tang Ru, who was sipping tea off to the side. "This is our competitor, Boss Tang. She insisted on seeing you and having you take a look at her."

Li Yang’s eyes lit up. ’What a beautiful woman.’

"So, it’s Boss Tang..." Li Yang immediately put on a smiling face. "What can I do for you?"

"What can you do for me?" Tang Ru chuckled, looking Li Yang up and down. "A therapist this young? Are you sure you’re not just scamming people?"

"Boss Tang, that’s not a very nice thing to say. I may be young, but that doesn’t mean there’s a problem with my skills."

"No problem?" Tang Ru puffed out her ample chest, her expression full of disbelief. "Then can you tell what’s wrong with me?"

"Are you sure you want me to say it here?" Li Yang didn’t seem surprised at all. Instead, he asked with a cryptic look.

"Speak!" Tang Ru couldn’t believe Li Yang could diagnose someone’s condition with just a single glance.

’That’s just nonsense!’

"Overall, Boss Tang, your physical health is quite good. However, you have a rather strong libido. I’m guessing your husband may not be able to satisfy you, which causes some ’heat’ to build up in your body. But you use certain... tools... to take care of it yourself, so you’re mostly able to find release. The downside to this, however, is that it creates psychological needs that can cause a series of other reactions. For example, you’re prone to agitation and are easily angered..."

Li Yang continued, his words flowing endlessly.

Tang Ru’s face flushed crimson.
