The corners of Shen Qiqi's mouth couldn't help but rise, and the light in her eyes was brighter than the sun in the sky.

The success of her handmade soap ignited a fire in her heart, making her full of infinite hope for the future.

She rubbed her hands, as if she could already see the colorful soaps shining brightly in the market, and all kinds of wonderful ideas in her mind rushed out like a flood.

"Tsk tsk, this sister is going to cause trouble!" Lu Qing looked at the excited expression on Shen Qiqi's face and muttered to himself.

He knows his wife too well, and this is definitely the beginning of something big.

Lu Qing walked to Shen Qiqi's side and asked curiously: "Wife, what are you thinking about?"

Shen Qiqi smiled mysteriously and kept the secret: "The hermit has his own clever plan! I plan to expand the types of our handmade soaps and let them flourish!" She waved her fist excitedly, as if she had already seen the pinnacle of her career.

The atmosphere at home was also driven by this joy, full of hope and expectation.

As soon as she said it, Shen Qiqi took Wang the collector and prepared to go deep into the back mountain to look for new raw materials.

Although collector Wang lacks experience, he is honest and simple, and obeys Shen Qiqi's orders.

"Brother Wang, this time we have to go deeper into the back mountains. I heard there are many exotic flowers and plants there, which will surely open our eyes!" Shen Qiqi said excitedly to collector Wang as they walked.

However, the weather was not good. Soon after we entered the back mountain, the sky became gloomy and strong winds brought raindrops that poured down on us.

"What horrible weather!" Collector Wang complained bitterly, his clothes soon getting soaked.

Shen Qiqi also felt a little tired. The mountain road was muddy and every step was extremely difficult.

The raindrops as big as beans hit my face, and it was freezing cold.

"No, we have to speed up!" Shen Qiqi gritted her teeth and refused to give up.

She knows that opportunities always come with challenges.

Collector Wang nodded with difficulty and followed Shen Qiqi closely.

Anxiety was written all over their faces, and the atmosphere in the back mountain became tense. The sound of rain, wind, and the slightly heavy breathing of the two people made people feel extremely depressed.

At the same time, Lu Qing was restless at home.

He looked at the heavy rain outside the window and felt very worried.

"In this weather, nothing will happen to Qiqi and Collector Wang, right?" He paced back and forth with a frown on his face.

Just when Lu Qing was extremely anxious, Shen Qiqi and Collector Wang finally discovered some plants they had never seen before in a hidden valley.

Shen Qiqi rubbed her hands excitedly and carefully picked the plants with a sickle, as if she were treating rare treasures.

"These will definitely take my handmade soap to the next level!" Shen Qiqi said excitedly.

Collector Wang didn't care about the dirt and rain on his body, and a simple smile appeared on his face.

"Qiqi, these..." Collector Wang was about to say something, but was interrupted by Shen Qiqi, "Shh! Don't say anything yet, let's go back quickly!" She pulled Collector Wang and quickened the pace of going down the mountain. She felt vaguely in her heart that something seemed to be happening.

After going down the mountain, Shen Qiqi rushed to Li's Grocery Store without stopping to purchase the auxiliary materials needed to make new handmade soap.

She was filled with joy, thinking about the formula and production process of the new handmade soap, as if she could already smell the fragrance of success and wealth.

However, as soon as she entered the grocery store, Shen Qiqi noticed that the atmosphere was not right.

Boss Li's usual smiling businessman face disappeared, replaced by a gloomy look.

"Boss Li, I'm here to get some goods..." Before Shen Qiqi could finish her words, Boss Li interrupted her with a gruff voice, "Get goods? What goods? You can't just take the goods here if you want!"

Shen Qiqi was stunned and asked doubtfully: "Boss Li, what are you doing..."

"Humph, I heard your handmade soap business is doing pretty well, selling all over town!" Boss Li said sarcastically, "Now that you're rich, you want to get my goods at the old price? No way!"

Boss Li asked for a huge price, doubling the price of raw materials.

Shen Qiqi was stunned. This price was outrageous!

Helplessness was written on her face, and the depressing atmosphere in the grocery store intensified.

She took a deep breath, tried to suppress her anger, and patiently discussed with Boss Li, but Boss Li refused to listen and looked like he had her in his hands.

"Boss Li, aren't you afraid of ruining your reputation by doing business like this?" Shen Qiqi suppressed her anger and spoke in a cold tone.

"Signboard? I want money now! Stop talking nonsense, either give me money or get out!" Boss Li roared arrogantly.

At this time, Lu Qing just rushed to the grocery store. When he saw this scene, he was immediately furious.

He protected Shen Qiqi behind him and glared at Boss Li: "How dare you bully my wife?!"

The air in the grocery store froze in an instant, and the tense atmosphere was about to explode.

Shen Qiqi grabbed Lu Qing's arm and signaled him to calm down.

She took a deep breath, rolled her eyes, and a plan came to her mind.

"Boss Li, I have a suggestion. Why don't we cooperate..." Shen Qiqi raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a mysterious smile.

Boss Li looked surprised, and an atmosphere of surprise arose between the two of them.

Collector Wang on the side had a puzzled look on his face, completely unaware of what Shen Qiqi was up to.

"Cooperation? How do we cooperate?" Boss Li asked doubtfully.

"How about a 50-50 profit split?" Shen Qiqi dropped a bombshell.

Boss Li was stunned...
