Chapter 233: Chapter 233: The Benefits of Being Handsome

With Wen Erya’s help, the pricing for the batch of antique ceramics was quickly finalized.

Although these were just everyday items used by the commoners of Dongxuan Country, their rarity—being completely unseen on the current market—meant their price skyrocketed to several times their intrinsic value.

Ultimately, Hua Buwan pocketed another few million into her bank account, while the other three divided the batch of goods among themselves.

However, when Hua Buwan was getting ready to leave, Wen Erya walked up to her with a beaming smile, linking arms with her as they headed outside. Hua Buwan knew Wen Erya had something to say, so she didn’t resist. She walked out side by side with her, deciding that if Grandma Wen didn’t speak first, she wouldn’t either.

Grandpa Feng wanted to follow them out, but since there were still people inside, he could only watch helplessly as Hua Buwan and his wife left.

Once they were outside the pawnshop’s entrance, Grandma Wen finally spoke. "Buwan, I wanted to tell you—if you have any more antiques in the future, especially ones from Dongxuan Country that you want to pawn, just come directly to me. There’s no need to look for that wretched old man."

Naturally, Hua Buwan wasn’t about to admit she still had a ton of antiques. After selling a batch, it was best to lay low for a while and shift locations. Anyway, she wasn’t in a hurry for cash. She could take it slow.

"Okay, Grandma Wen. If any of my friends want to sell antiques in the future, I’ll definitely look for you. But I don’t have any left myself. I only found these while cleaning up the things my grandparents left behind. There aren’t any more." Hua Buwan spoke with utmost sincerity, not looking like she was lying in the slightest.

Wen Erya looked at Hua Buwan’s expression, listened to her words, and finally couldn’t help but sigh. "Alright then. If you ever come across more in the future, remember to think of your Grandma Wen."

"Mm-hmm, definitely."

After speaking with Grandma Wen, Hua Buwan watched her return to the pawnshop before catching a taxi back to the supermarket.

Having dealt with yesterday’s antiques, Hua Buwan looked at the messy store, rolled up her sleeves, and prepared for a deep clean. Moreover, the supermarket was running low on a lot of stock. She had placed an order last night that would likely be delivered today, so she needed to receive the goods.

She got right to work.

Hua Buwan started by thoroughly sweeping every corner, gathering the dust and trash into a pile. Next, she grabbed a mop and scrubbed the floor vigorously until it was spotless. After the floors were done, she moved on to the windows. She wiped away the dust with a damp cloth, then dried them with a dry one, leaving the glass sparkling like new.

Following that, Hua Buwan began organizing the items on the shelves. She arranged everything neatly, sorting the merchandise by category and brand, while also checking expiration dates and clearing out anything that had gone bad. Once the shelves were organized, she started wiping down the doors. Just like the windows, she used a damp cloth for the dust and a dry one to finish, leaving the doors perfectly clean.

After several hours of hard work, Hua Buwan had finally made the supermarket completely spotless. She was sweating profusely from exhaustion, but looking at the tidy store filled her with a sense of accomplishment.

Right on cue, the goods she had ordered arrived. Hua Buwan immediately directed the delivery men to unload the truck. After settling the bill, she began stocking the shelves with the new merchandise.

Just then, the automated voice at the back door chimed, "WELCOME!" She wiped the sweat from her forehead, looked up, and met Ling Qianjun’s face.

Being handsome certainly had its perks. For instance, in this exact moment, exhausted and dripping with sweat, she suddenly felt refreshed, her mood instantly brightening.
