New semester. Yu Qi did not experience much of a difference as he had already stayed in the dormitory for a period of time. The normally quiet university starts to get noisier when students return for a new semester.
Yu Qi walked around the University with Aoi. Aoi was eager to walk because she had not been walking around with her master for a long time.
‘Master, there are many people today.’ Aoi looked around.
‘Of course, new semester is about to start. The students have returned.’ Reply Yu Qi.
Then suddenly someone hugged her from behind. “Yu Qi.” Song Ha Ting called Yu Qi.
“During not meeting.” Song Ha Ting said.
“Hmm... Long time no see.” Yu Qi looked at Song Ha Ting from top to bottom. “You look different.”
“Different like what?” Song Ha Ting was somewhat expecting that pleasant thing.
But he will be disappointed. Yu Qi said the opposite of that. “Are you gaining weight?”
“What? Do I look fat?” Song Ha Ting looked at her body.
“No... No.. That's not what I mean. It's just that you look different than usual. But I think it's good to have more weight on his body. Not good if you see very skinny.” Yu Qi explained. She did not want to hurt Song Ha Ting's feelings.
“Really? You think so?” Song Ha Ting was still looking at her body.
“Ya.” Yu Qi nodded.
Song Ha Ting then lifted his face and looked at Yu Qi from top to bottom.
“Yu Qi, your body looks amazing. Do you have a diet routine to follow? Can you share with me?” Song Ha Ting begged. His current appearance resembled a puppy wanting to eat.
“To be honest, I did not go on a diet at all. I just eat and exercise regularly.” Yu Qi really did not have a diet to practice.
“Bulkah?” Song Ha Ting asked.
“If you don't believe me, why don't you follow my routine?” Yu Qi suggested.
“Friends, long time no see.” There was So Pang Lim and Mei Lilli followed by Ding Na An.
“Hai, long time no see.” Song Ha Ting said.
“Girl, let's be honest with me.” Song Ha Ting immediately put a serious expression on his face.
“What's wrong with him?” So Pang Lim pointed at Song Ha Ting while asking Yu Qi.
“Do I look fat?” Song Ha Ting asked his other friends.
“Well, not fat but your weight gain.” Mei Lilli replied.
“I became fat.” Song Ha Ting cried.
“Why did you tell him that?” So Pang Lim said to Mei Lilli.
“He asks us to be honest. So, I'm honest.” Mei Lili replied.
Yu Qi chuckled at the sight of his friends fighting in front of him. Ding Na An approached him.
“How was your holiday?” Yu Qi asked Ding Na An.
“Good. I got training with my sister.” Ding Na An told him.
“Training? Yep. To defend themselves. I'm noting what happened to you in our volunteer program. If such a thing happens to me as well in the future, I will be able to stay calm and access the situation.” Ding Na An explained.
“Good. But let's hope something like that won't happen to us in the future.” Yu Qi smiled.
***
Classes begin. Yu Qi started his student's life again. Classes, practical studies and business. He was busy as usual. But something changed.
Song Ha Ting followed Yu Qi jogging in the morning. He fought on his own to continue following Yu Qi. Yu Qi did not change his steps.
Originally, Song Ha Ting could only follow around 1/4 of the distance Yu Qi had traveled. After a while, he managed to reach half the distance.
Yu Qi was very impressed with Song Ha Ting. Song Ha Ting's body started to change back to his usual size. He was happy with his body shape. However, he did not stop following Yu Qi.
When Yu Qi asked about it, Song Ha Ting said that he wanted to maintain this routine because he thought it was good.
At first, he had only joined Yu Qi because he wanted his body shape to return to its original form. But now he wants to keep his body healthy. He could feel that his body felt different now.
Yu Qi was pleased with Song Ha Ting. She knew that Song Ha Ting was a girl pampered with her character. Who knew that he had such a strong determination when he decided to do so.
On the weekend, Yu Qi decided to go to one of her brand new skin care stores that opened a few weeks ago. He wanted to see the shop because he did not go to see the opening ceremony.
The shop is located in the neighboring city, Jing City. It's in the mall. Because it's a weekend, so there are a lot of people who are currently in the mall.
Yu Qi entered the shop. The store was full of women who wanted to buy skin care. The staff at the store is new. So they don't know that their big boss to see the store. Only the branch manager would recognize him because he had already met Yu Qi in the meeting. However, the branch manager was not here.
Yu Qi looked at the store's arrangements. He had already prepared a plan that all the stores would be arranged in the same interior design to ensure the standards.
While the staff was busy helping customers, someone came to the store. His face was covered in a mask. He also brought some plastic bags.
“I want a 100% refund%. Product has damaged my skin.” The woman screamed.
All the women inside the shop saw the woman who was shouting earlier. The shop became quiet. One of the shop assistants approached the woman.
“Help me? Your product has ruined my face. I want my money back. You are a bunch of liars.” The woman started screaming again.
“Nona, if you keep yelling like this, we can't help you.” The shop assistant still spoke in a soft tone.
“All of you, do not buy this brand. It's ruining my skin.” The woman began talking to other customers.
“Nona, please, don't act like this.” The shop assistant said to the woman.
“What? You still want to keep tricking others into buying your products?” The woman turned to the shop assistant.
“Not so.” The shop assistant did not know what to do next.
Then someone patted him from behind. The shop assistant turned around and looked at someone. He was grateful he could leave now.
The one who patted him was the branch manager. Apparently, someone from the staff went to call the branch manager. The branch manager immediately left his office and came to the front.
“Nona, I'm the branch manager here, Jian Nie. Can I help you?” Jian Nie smiled.
“Branch manager? Huh!!! I want a refund.” Said the woman.
“Can we move to my office? We can talk there.” said Jiannie.
“What? Are you scared? To tell others about this?” The woman mocked Jian Nie.
However, Jian Nie did not feel provoked by him. He still maintained his smile.
“OK, Mom. We can talk here. Miss, you told us that your face has been damaged by our products. Can I see your face, now?” Jian Nie asked.
The woman reacted very badly. He stepped back avoiding Jian Nie who wanted to touch his face.
“Don't dare. I won't let you see my face.” The woman screamed again.
“OK. Easy, lady. Tell me your name.” Jian Nie asked his name.
“Why do you want to know my name?” The woman is guarded.
“For I can call you by your name.” Jian Nie smiled.
“You can call me Miss Qian Xiao Mi.” Qian Xiao Mi said arrogantly.
“For information, Miss Qian Xiao Mi, if you have purchased our products, your face and name will be listed in our database.” Jian Nie smiled cunningly.
“You!!! You tricked me.” Qian Xiao Mi pointed her finger at Jian Nie.
Listening to Jian Nie's words, one of the staff sitting in front of the computer quickly typed a name on their system.
“Nona Jian, there is no such name in our system.” The results came out immediately.
“Oh, Miss Qian Xiao Mi, your name is not in our system. That means you are not our customer and you have not bought our product.” Jian Nie looked at Qian Xiao Mi.
“Of course, I haven't bought it yet. Someone has gifted it to me.” Qian Xiao Mi did not seem to give up.
“Alright then. Tell me the name of the person who presented our product to you.” Jian Nie replied.
“Erk ..” Qian Xiao Mi hesitated.
“Or can you show me, the bottle you claim is our product.” Jian Nie suggested.
“Did you tell me that it's not your product? This is your product.” Qian Xiao Mi shouted.
“Miss Qian Xiao Mi, show me the bottle.” Jian Nie began to emphasize his tone.
“Then take it.” Qian Xiao Mi was angry so she threw the bottle at Jian Nie.
Jian Nie quickly caught up to him. That's the proof. He won't let the evidence get corrupted. He is also not afraid to touch the bottle because he wears gloves while working. All staff are required to wear gloves.
Jian Nie asked one of the staff to scan into the bottle. Qian Xiao Mi started to panic when she saw what they had done. He suddenly thought it would be bad if they knew that the bottle was not their product.
Qian Xiao Mi started thinking about how to run away from here. While the others were waiting for the results and looking towards the staff, Qian Xiao Mi thought that this was a good time to escape. He turned around and wanted to get out but someone was blocking him.
“Where do you want to go?” Yu Qi appeared and blocked Qian Xiao Mi. “Why don't you wait for the results?” Yu Qi smiled but his eyes did not.
Qian Xiao Mi trembled as she faced this young girl. He doesn't know why. But to him, the young girl in front of him was terrifying.
“Nona Yu Qi.” Jian Nie called out. He had no idea that their big boss would be here today.
“Good work in dealing with this problem.” Yu Qi praised Jian Nie. “How about the result?” Yu Qi then asked the staff member who had scanned the bottle.
All Qi Qi Skincare had a special code in their bar code. Yu Qi invented this system to prevent counterfeiting of his products. The barcode will be scanned, there will be some words that appear after scanning the bar code. The word that should appear is ‘Rebirth’.
“That word hasn't appeared.” Staff answer.
“Oh. That means the bottle you give us is not from our product.” Yu Qi looked at Qian Xiao Mi.
