Chapter 190: It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality
After taking this set of skin care products, Ning Xiyue explained to them how to use them, and led the mother and daughter to wash their faces, apply a facial mask, apply repairing cream, then apply facial cream, and finally apply hand cream.
After applying a set of skin care products, feeling their smooth faces and seeing the hydrated skin in the mirror, the mother and daughter were completely conquered.
It is said that when giving a gift, you need to give the recipient what he or she likes.
After using this set of skin care products, Zhou's mother's attitude completely changed compared to when she first came in.
He kept praising Ning Xiyue, invited her to watch performances at the art troupe, and made arrangements to go shopping for clothes at the department store.
She took good care of Ning Qingzhi, asked about his health, and concerned about his injuries. She reminded him of things to pay attention to and told him not to worry. The most important thing was to get her parents over as soon as possible to discuss the marriage between the two families and have a meeting between the two in-laws.
Even Ning Qingyuan, who was sitting there quietly writing an article, received care and attention.
You should also introduce him to your friends at the newspaper and ask him to tell her after he finishes writing the article.
This is such an unexpected surprise. Who would have thought that a set of skin care products would be so attractive?
This gift is worth every penny.
As long as she is satisfied, she will be close to making money if she is satisfied, Ning Xiyue thought.
In fact, Zhou's mother was able to change so much based on her daughter's clear wish to marry Ning Qingzhi.
Since I can't change my daughter's mind, and this family is very thoughtful, and my daughter's skin care products are really to her liking, then I can only change her own mind.
So in Zhou Yunqing's eyes, they are now considered a family.
Besides, since I have accepted all the gifts from my future son-in-law, I have to be nice to him.
The most important thing is that she really likes this gift.
I feel so happy to see her face now as smooth and delicate as if she is a dozen years younger.
"Yueyue, after using the things you made, I suddenly felt that I had lived in vain. This is the first time in all my years that I have used something so useful. What will I do if I don't use it in the future?"
It's never a good idea to use a good thing and then switch back to a bad one.
It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frug
Mother Zhou touched her face and sighed continuously, while with her other hand she took out a bottle of clam oil made up of two halves of a clam shell from her pocket and played with it.
"I don't think the clam oil, toad oil and vanishing cream sold in department stores can compare to what you make. I don't even have the desire to open this clam oil anymore. You've spoiled me."
"Who said it wasn't? It's so good to use. I fell in love with it after using it once." Song Jiayin was very satisfied. She kept looking at herself in a mirror and even approached Ning Qingzhi to ask, "Does it look good?"
Ning Qingzhi saw that no one else in the ward was looking in her direction, so he quickly leaned over to her ear and said, "You look good no matter what."
After saying that, she lowered her head shyly, with the tips of her ears turning red, revealing her innocent nature.
Ning Xiyue pretended not to hear and shook her shoulders slightly. She was annoyed. Her elder brother had become too good at talking.
Song Jiayin in front of him also blushed and her heart beat fast. She pushed his chest lightly and scolded him: "You are not serious."
Both the speaker and the listener lowered their heads shyly and sat aside.
So innocent. Ning Xiyue shook her head, not wanting to eat dog food, and turned her attention to answering Zhou's mother's words.
"Auntie, if you want to use it again after you've used it, just write to me, or tell my eldest brother, and I'll send it to you when it's done, and you can keep using it. I can also send you a copy when I make something new."
Ning Xiyue said this so generously because she wanted to test Zhou's mother's character and see if she was a relative worth making friends with. No good elder would be so embarrassed to just accept gifts from the younger generation without giving anything in return.
"No, that won't do. It's too much trouble for you. Auntie can't take your good things for nothing. They are too precious. So, auntie will exchange things with you. Come, let's talk."
Zhou Yunqing is not the kind of person who likes to take advantage of others. She has lived an upright life and although she may lack things, she does not lack this little money.
Business in the world is a two-way street, and the relationship between relatives and friends must also be a two-way street. To maintain a good relationship, you need to be courteous and polite.
Since her daughter is going to marry him, she needs to maintain this relationship well and not let her daughter feel embarrassed.
"Whatever Auntie says, don't change it or not. Don't be so polite. My elder brother will cover all the production costs. Just treat it as a gift to you." Ning Xiyue screamed in her heart. Zhou's mother's reaction did not disappoint her. Business came, and it came with a lot of small money.
"No, Auntie has her own. Yueyue, let's talk about it. Auntie can tell you that these things of yours will definitely be popular. My good sisters will definitely like them, so we have to come up with a set of rules so that we can communicate privately."
Zhou's mother couldn't wait to confirm it. It was normal for them to exchange things with each other privately. It didn't commit any crime and it would make them live a good life, so why not do it?
If her good sisters knew what she had, they would never let her go, so she had to negotiate well. Yueyue's skin care products were the gold nugget that would allow her to expand her network and gain benefits to live a happy life.
"Okay, let's talk."
Haha, this is exactly what Ning Xiyue wants. She wants to use skin care products to break into the circle of middle and upper class people in Shanghai, a city that is in line with international standards.
Through her conversation with Song Jiayin and her daughter today, Ning Xiyue basically understood her family situation.
Zhou's mother's family is local and their family conditions are similar to hers, but Song Jiayin's father is a leader, and Zhou's mother herself is both the head of the art troupe and the leader's wife. She has made friends with many young ladies from local high-ranking officials' families who love to take care of themselves as much as she does.
Since Zhou's mother has brought it up, she must seize the opportunity and have a good talk.
The two of them sat in the corner of the ward and talked in low voices as if no one was around. The scene was relaxed and harmonious.
