Unfortunately.

Bai Lu had not yet reacted.

Elsewhere.

South Street.

Beauty Chant New Store.

The store would open tomorrow, and there were many things to prepare.

Zhao Cuinong was directing a few workers to hang the new store’s sign above the door, "Move it a bit to the left, right, right, that’s it."

Lin Guixiang was looking at the ledger, then turned to look at Lin Wu beside her, "Xiao Wu, we’ve been open for almost two months now, let’s do the accounts with your aunt today."

Because Zhao Cuinong always said that she was not short on money, they had not yet given her the previously agreed share of the profits.

Upon hearing this, Lin Wu nodded slightly, "Sure, Mom, how much revenue have we made since we opened?"

Lin Guixiang looked at the numbers in the ledger, "Our total revenue is 4.82 million, and we need to pay your aunt 800,000 in total for rent, utilities, and wages."

Beauty Chant had been in business for a little more than two months, and despite a dismal business at the start, it had picked up later on, with queues every day and daily revenues reaching more than 100,000.

In the past, Lin Guixiang would have been astonished at these figures, her eyes wide with amazement.

But now was different.

Now she could read and had come into contact with many things she previously hadn’t been exposed to. While 4.82 million seemed like a lot, it wouldn’t even buy a house in a first-tier city.

They needed to keep trying!

Lin Wu put down her phone, "Mom, don’t forget to include the penalty fee."

The penalty fee was not part of the revenue, but since Zhao Cuinong had also contributed money when they rented the shop premises, they needed to give her 20 percent of the five million as well.

Penalty fee?

Lin Guixiang would have truly forgotten had Lin Wu not mentioned it, and upon hearing this, she immediately smiled and said, "Right, right, there’s also the penalty fee of five million. Including the penalty fee, the total is 1.8 million."

Lin Guixiang had hardly calculated, almost instantly uttering a number.

Even though it was easy to calculate.

But Lin Wu was still somewhat surprised, after all, Lin Guixiang was not previously sensitive to numbers, "Mom, you’re quite good at math now."

Lin Guixiang smiled, "Xiao Wu, do you know about bead arithmetic?"

"I do," Lin Wu nodded slightly.

Bead arithmetic is calculated from the lowest to the highest digit, which contradicts the mathematical teaching methods learned in primary school nowadays, affecting children’s arithmetic skills, so many people are unaware of it.

However, bead arithmetic has long been listed as an intangible cultural heritage.

Its discoverer, Liu Hong, was not only an outstanding astronomer and mathematician of ancient times but also posthumously honored as the Saint of Calculus!

Lin Guixiang smiled, "I’ve been using bead arithmetic."

"When did you learn bead arithmetic, Mom?" Lin Wu asked.

Lin Guixiang continued, "I didn’t really go out of my way to learn, I just came across it while browsing short videos and then picked it up."

It was indeed strange.

The sight of bead arithmetic gave her an odd sense of familiarity, as if she had learned it long ago.

"You have a real knack for math," Lin Wu observed.

Lin Guixiang tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear with a self-conscious smile, "Actually, bead arithmetic is quite simple."

What’s easy for the knower is hard for the novice.

Just then, Zhao Cuinong walked in from outside; Lin Guixiang waved her over, "Cui Nong, come here for a moment."

"What’s up, big sister?" Zhao Cuinong asked with a smile as she walked over.

Lin Guixiang passed the ledger to her, "Here is the ledger with our total sales of 4.82 million plus the penalty fee of five million. Your share comes to 1.8 million total, take a look, is that right?"

Zhao Cuinong set the ledger on the table without taking a closer look, then said, "Big sister, listen to yourself, what do you mean is that right? Could you possibly deceive me?"

Excluding the penalty fee.

In just two months, they had made 800,000.

That was something Zhao Cuinong could not even have dreamed of before.

And yet Lin Wu had made it a reality for her.

So, she felt nothing but gratitude towards her aunt and cousin, why would she doubt them?

Besides, neither mother nor daughter was capable of such deception.

Lin Guixiang smiled, "Should I have Xiao Wu transfer it to your bank account?"

Zhao Cuinong replied, "Qiangzi got a raise recently, we are not short of money. Big sister, didn’t you say Xiao Wu is planning to expand the factory? You guys use this money first!"

Nothing was more important than expanding the factory!

Zhao Cuinong had her priorities straight.

Hearing this, Lin Wu smiled and glanced back, "Aunt, we aren’t short on money either, the factory business is mostly settled, and our store is earning every day, so you don’t have to worry."

She had just signed the Ghost Path contract; not to mention expanding the factory, even buying a private jet wouldn’t be a problem.

"Alright then," Zhao Cuinong nodded, "and it’s a coincidence, your little uncle recently mentioned wanting to look at houses. Xiao Wu, which complex did you recommend us last time?"
