Chapter 1275

Could it be that we're thinking too far ahead?

By the time Lin Cheng returned to the front of his shop, a few onlookers had already begun to gather, drifting around his storefront; their early arrival was clearly meant to snag a good spot.

As Lin Cheng watched the minutes and seconds tick by, more and more people arrived—among them familiar members of the Zaoshigong Society, unfamiliar queues of gift-bearers, as well as large numbers of mercenaries and curious onlookers.

When the auspicious hour struck, Lin Cheng directed the band to blow with all their might, and at the same time, his homemade string of small firecrackers went off with a crackling pop, the sound drawing the eyes of everyone present.

Amid the clamor, Lin Cheng hurried forward and, hand in hand with Miss Qianhui, took out the red scissors and snipped the red cloth at the doorway.

"Everyone, today… my Lin Cheng's shop is officially open for business! A grand opening, everything in the store starts at half price!"

Clap clap clap!

The crowd below began to applaud one after another.

The plaque hung high at the doorway, forged by the full membership of the Zaoshigong Society, was revealed by Lin Cheng as he pulled away the covering red cloth; everyone saw it clearly in an instant, and was genuinely a little astonished—jaw-droppingly shocked, in fact.
