Chen Qiqi and Lu Qing stood in the golden thread lotus display area, looking at the few sparse customers, who were like a few lonely boats in the vast ocean, and felt like a stone was pressing on their hearts.

The air around them seemed to freeze, and the tense atmosphere enveloped them like an invisible net.

"Qiqi, this... isn't this too deserted?" Lu Qing's voice trembled a little, and beads of sweat oozed out of his forehead.

He rubbed his hands subconsciously, but his palms were still cold.

Shen Qiqi took a deep breath, her eyes as firm as a torch: "Don't panic, this is just the beginning! Our golden thread lotus is a good thing, I don't believe that no one knows its value!" She clenched her fists, her knuckles turned white, and her tone was full of a unwillingness to admit defeat.

The lights from the exhibition area shone on her face, making her look even more motivated.

At this moment, a sarcastic voice rang out: "Hey, isn't this the third daughter-in-law of the Lu family? What's going on? What's this new trick? Are you trying to scam me again?"

Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing looked in the direction of the voice and saw a bloated woman with a face full of flesh standing not far away. It was their competitor - Wang Cuihua, the wife of the village chief.

There were several villagers following behind her, pointing at them and whispering.

Wang Cuihua had a sinister smile on her face and her eyes were full of hostility.

She deliberately raised her voice and said sarcastically, "I advise you to close your stall as soon as possible, before you lose everything!"

The discussions around became louder, like a group of buzzing mosquitoes, making people's scalps numb.

Lu Qing's face turned ashen and he clenched his fists tightly, as if he was about to rush up to argue with Wang Cuihua in the next second.

Shen Qiqi grabbed Lu Qing and sneered, "Wang Cuihua, are you jealous of us? Don't worry, we won't let you down!" Her eyes were sharp and her tone was cold, like a sharp knife, piercing Wang Cuihua's heart.

"Hmph, just wait and see!" Wang Cuihua snorted coldly and left with her fat body twisted.

"Qiqi, what should we do now?" Lu Qing looked at Wang Cuihua's receding back, his heart full of worry.

Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing's eyes widened, and an excited smile gradually appeared on their faces.

"Okay! Let's do it!" Lu Qing slapped his thigh and said excitedly.

The two smiled at each other, knowing that a tough battle was about to begin...

At this moment, Shen Qiqi suddenly realized a serious problem, "Oh no..."

Shen Qiqi slapped her forehead and said in annoyance, "It seems that our publicity funds are not enough!" The publicity has just begun, and the budget has run out. It's like the coach called a halt just after the warm-up, which makes people feel upset.

Lu Qing was also dumbfounded, like an eggplant hit by frost - wilted.

"This...what should I do?" He scratched his head and felt like the dandruff was about to fall off.

The embarrassing feeling of having his pockets cleaner than his face made him wish he could find a hole to crawl into.

Shen Qiqi frowned, and her fingers tapped on the table again and again, making a "da da da" sound, like a tense march.

The room was so quiet that they could hear each other's breathing. The oppressive atmosphere was like a huge rock, pressing down on the two of them so that they couldn't breathe.

Lu Qing was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, pacing around the room.

"How about... I go borrow some from my dad?" he asked tentatively, his voice as soft as a mosquito's hum.

Shen Qiqi rolled her eyes at him and said, "Your father is not optimistic about our new business. If we borrow money again, who knows what trouble will come out." She sighed, feeling exhausted as if she had run 5,000 meters.

Lu Qing also understood this and sat down dejectedly.

The room fell into deathly silence, with only the ticking sound of the wall clock, as if urging the time to pass by every second.

Shen Qiqi suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and her eyes lit up like stars twinkling in the night sky.

"Got it!" She stood up suddenly, her tone full of excitement.

"What can I do?" Lu Qing seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw.

Shen Qiqi smiled mysteriously: "We don't have to spend money, let them experience it for free!"

Lu Qing was stunned for a moment, then he understood what Shen Qiqi meant.

He slapped his thigh and said excitedly, "Great! This is a great move!"

The next day, Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing put up a "Free Trial" sign in the display area.

The villagers passing by stopped and gathered around curiously.

"Free trial? Really?"

"Is there something fishy going on?"

"This golden thread lotus looks quite fresh, but I don't know how effective it is."

The villagers were talking among themselves, their faces full of confusion.

They looked at each other, and no one dared to be the first to try.

Seeing this, Shen Qiqi smiled and said, "Dear fellow villagers, our golden thread lotus is a genuine good thing. It's free to try, no cheating! Feel free to try it!"

Lu Qing also echoed: "Yes, if it doesn't work, no need to pay!"

At the enthusiastic invitation of Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing, a few brave villagers finally came forward and picked up the golden thread lotus to examine it carefully.

They smelled it, touched it, and their faces were full of curiosity and doubt...

"This...how do I use this?" asked a villager.

Shen Qiqi stepped forward and patiently explained how to use it.

"Qiqi, water..."

Shen Qiqi took the ladle handed to her by the villagers, and skillfully crushed the golden thread lotus, then added it to the warm water. A light fragrance filled her nose.

She demonstrated it herself by applying the soaked golden thread lotus water on her hands.
