Chapter 73 Chapter 73 Step 4

The weather was hot, and Shu Niannian bought a bottle of herbal tea from the stall at the door. She bit the straw and drank while walking around. Halfway through her walk, she was stopped by a familiar voice. Shu Niannian turned around and saw Liu Qin staring at her not far away.

Shu Niannian frowned and asked, "Do you have something to ask me?"

She was not familiar with Liu Qin and had only dealt with her a few times, and each time they had dealt with each other was very unpleasant. She thought she had nothing to say to Liu Qin, so when Liu Qin called her, she naturally did not give Liu Qin a good look.

Of course, Liu Qin didn't give Shu Niannian a good look either. She called Shu Niannian just to mock her.

"You didn't have the chance to visit such a large department store when you were in the countryside, right? Otherwise, why are you so eager to visit the supermarket when you first come to the city?"

Liu Qin's words were full of thorns, and Shu Niannian didn't indulge her at all. She took a sip of herbal tea and retorted, "I came to Haicheng, whether I go to the supermarket or not, what does it have to do with you? This department store is owned by you? Did I spend your money?"

Shu Niannian was very good at talking back at people, and Liu Qin was choked and her face turned blue, "You! You! You..."

She pointed at Shu Niannian and kept saying "you" for a long time without uttering a single word.

Shu Niannian felt that Liu Qin had too strong a sense of superiority. Seeing her get so angry after being criticized, Shu Niannian was extremely happy.

Doesn't she think that she is the only one who can criticize others and others can't criticize her?

Problem!

Shu Niannian turned around and tried to leave, but Liu Qin didn't seem to be going to let her go. She quickly took a few steps to catch up with Shu Niannian and started a new round of ridicule, "You didn't spend my money, but you spent Ye Jinhong's money. This is your purpose, right? Relying on your pretty face, you can get on the rich list and then lie on him and suck his blood?"

Shu Niannian laughed angrily, "What does it have to do with you whose money I spend? Are you free? Oh no, you are still wearing the uniform of the Second Army. If I am not mistaken, you should be at work at this time. Why are you here during working hours?"

Liu Qin was a little panicked, "What does it have to do with you whether I go to work or not?"

Shu Niannian smiled and said, "That's what I wanted to tell you. Whether I go to the supermarket or not, and whose money I spend when I go to the supermarket, has nothing to do with you. What right do you have to come up and tell me what to do?"

Liu Qin blushed, "I just feel sorry for Ye Jinhong. He definitely doesn't know you're like this in private! You don't like him at all. You're just attracted to his family background and his money! A woman like you is not worthy of him at all!"

Shu Niannian felt that Liu Qin was really crazy. Every time she saw her, she would say that she was not worthy of Ye Jinhong. She was persistent and extreme. "You have said this many times. You are not tired of saying it, but I am tired of hearing it. Haven't you realized that whether you think I am worthy of Ye Jinhong or not does not affect Ye Jinhong's love for me at all, nor does it change the fact that Ye Jinhong and I are together. If you really think that I have confused Ye Jinhong and that Ye Jinhong has been deceived, you should go and tell Ye Jinhong instead of looking for trouble with me. What do you think?"

Liu Qin's lips trembled. She looked straight at Shu Niannian and said after a long while, "Ye Jinhong is not sober enough now. He is intoxicated by the illusion you have woven for him. He will be deceived by you and lose everything. He is confused by the situation, but as his good friend, I can't watch him make mistakes. Shu Niannian, just wait. No matter what you want from him, just wait. I will definitely expose your conspiracy."

After Liu Qin made those harsh words, she turned around and walked away in her high heels.

Shu Niannian: ...

no?

Liu Qin, what does this mean?

In Liu Qin's eyes, how bad is Shu Niannian? Why would Liu Qin think that Shu Niannian and Ye Jinhong are together and are harming Ye Jinhong?

Shu Niannian felt speechless, but she did not belittle herself because of Liu Qin's words.

After all, she was spending her own money, and she did not deliberately confuse Ye Jinhong. Outsiders only saw the surface. She only needed to know what was going on between her and Ye Jinhong, and there was no need to explain too much to outsiders.

She doesn't care what Liu Qin and her ilk think. She is just waiting for the day when Liu Qin will be slapped in the face by reality.

Shu Niannian sipped the herbal tea and continued to watch the counter at the Red Star Department Store. She had two stores about to open and a lot of things to deal with, so she really had no time to pay attention to Liu Qin.

Shu Niannian didn't take Liu Qin to heart, but Liu Qin was very angry with Shu Niannian. After she left the Red Star Department Store, she called her bodyguard. She looked at Shu Niannian's back and ordered fiercely, "Follow her and see who she meets and what she does every day, and then report to me."

Liu Qin thought that a superficial country woman like Shu Niannian, who had married into a rich family and taken a man's money, would definitely squander it lavishly, either buying clothes and shoes or bags and jewelry. Ye Jinhong was a thoughtful and profound man, so how could he possibly fall for a country woman who only knew how to spend money? !

Liu Qin was very sure that the reason why Ye Jinhong was willing to be with Shu Niannian now was that he was bewitched by Shu Niannian's charming face, but the insurance period of such superficial feelings without soul resonance would definitely be very short.

Liu Qin felt she still had a chance.

Ye Jinhong is just seeking temporary novelty. Once he sees Shu Niannian's true face, he will definitely hate Shu Niannian.

And she, Liu Qin, is willing to wait for Ye Jinhong to come to the right path and return!

Shu Niannian didn't know what Liu Qin was planning. She was too busy and didn't notice that someone was following her at all.

Shu Niannian took another walk around the Red Star Department Store, wrote down a few points of attention in a notebook, and then went to the essential oil store to buy essential oils.

She bought many varieties and large quantities. The proprietress even jokingly asked her if she was here to purchase goods and if she was planning to open a shop and steal her business.

Shu Niannian smiled and said, "That's definitely not the case. No one can take away your business."

Zhang Chunyang has inquired around and found out that in the entire Haicheng, only this shop sells the most authentic essential oils.

Why is it that in such a huge city like Haicheng, only this one shop sells the most authentic essential oils?

Because this boss has a brother who runs an essential oil processing factory in Yunnan. Let’s put it this way, other essential oil shops in Haicheng purchase their goods from second, third or fourth dealers, but this essential oil shop gets its goods directly from the source factory. How can other essential oil shops compete with it?

Shu Niannian wants to open a skin care product production line, and she needs to use a lot of essential oils. Originally, she planned to go to Yunnan by herself, retracing the trajectory of her previous life, to find a high-quality and low-cost essential oil supply channel, but Zhang Chunyang told her that it was not necessary, and there was a high-quality and low-cost essential oil supply channel in Haicheng.

This is really a case of searching for something everywhere but finally finding it without any effort.

The owner of the essential oil shop was called Li Hong. Shu Niannian didn't beat around the bush with Li Hong and immediately said, "Sister Hong, I want to discuss a business deal with you, but I don't know if you dare to take it."

Li Hong is also a straightforward person. She smiled and said, "Tell me, what kind of business is it? As long as it's essential oil business, there's nothing I dare not take on."

Shu Niannian sighed in her heart, it is really good to lean on a big tree for shade. Looking at the whole Haicheng, perhaps only Li Hong dared to say this. After all, domestic essential oil shops simply cannot get some essential oil varieties from tropical regions. Border trade is not open, and people in Yunnan and Guizhou regions only exchange foreign specialties with their own chickens and ducks or some local specialties through barter.

For those people living in tropical areas, essential oils are one of their specialties.

It’s not that Shu Niannian is worshipping foreign things and insists on using foreign essential oils. It’s just that due to different geographical locations, some essential oils have special effects.

For example, Damascus rose essential oil and Centifolia rose essential oil are both rose essential oils, but their effects are different. The main effects of Damascus rose essential oil are soothing emotions, moisturizing and anti-aging, while the only effect of Centifolia rose essential oil is to promote skin cell regeneration.

However, domestic bitter water rose essential oil and Pingyin rose essential oil are more suitable for making perfume or incense because of their unique fragrance.

Shu Niannian thought that Li Hong must have some channels to get all the essential oils she wanted.

"Of course. People say that in Haicheng, Sister Hong is the leader in the essential oil industry. As long as it is a well-known essential oil, Sister Hong can get it, and the price is much lower than that of her peers. She is a very kind person." In order to get high-quality essential oils at the lowest price, Shu Niannian spared no effort to flatter Li Hong.

Shu Niannian was pretty, with red lips and white teeth. Her palm-sized face was fair and tender, as beautiful as a rose. When she spoke, her clear eyes looked at Li Hong sincerely, which made Li Hong very happy.

Li Hong runs an essential oil business, so naturally she knows how to take care of herself. But no matter how well she knows how to take care of herself, she is already in her 40s. No matter how beautiful she is, how beautiful can she be?

Usually, there are some greasy old men who praise her for her beauty, but when those people say she is beautiful, she just thinks those people are like annoying flies. However, it is different when she is praised by a beautiful girl like Shu Niannian. The moment Shu Niannian praises her, she feels that she is really beautiful!

She hadn't felt that kind of feeling of having her heart pierced for many years.

Li Hong touched half of her face with one hand, feeling a little embarrassed. "Oh, you are so sweet, little girl. Tell me, what kind of essential oil do you want? I don't have any other skills, but no matter how tricky or niche the essential oil is, I can find it for you."

Shu Niannian smiled, her whole body as bright as the sun in early spring. "Then I won't keep you in suspense, Sister Hong. It's like this. I have a beauty salon and a daily chemical skin care counter that will open soon. I will also open a skin care production line later. I need a lot of essential oils, not just common essential oils, but also unpopular and niche essential oils. I want to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with you, Sister Hong. Of course, I also want to get the essential oils I need at a cheaper price."

Sister Hong thought Shu Niannian was joking. What could a little girl know about business?

Still want to open a store? Making a production line?

I'm afraid I'm dreaming!

It's just that Shu Niannian is really pretty and sweet-mouthed, which makes Sister Hong very happy. Sister Hong follows up on what Shu Niannian said and says, "Okay! Come buy essential oils from me, I'll definitely give you a discount!"

Shu Niannian was stunned. The tone of Sister Hong's voice sounded like an adult teasing a child. At this moment, Sister Hong looked at her and covered her mouth with her hands while laughing.

Shu Niannian was extremely helpless.

Sister Hong quickly waved her hands and apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I really couldn't help it."

Shu Niannian looked so cute when she was in a daze just now. She had never met such an interesting girl.

You have just entered the society and haven't made a name for yourself yet, but you want to start a production line? ! Does she know how much it costs to start a production line? A newborn calf is really not afraid of death!

Shu Niannian smiled bitterly. It was another day of being treated as a fool.

Sister Hong had no ill intentions. She gave Shu Niannian a very nice discount on the goods she bought this time. Before Shu Niannian left, Sister Hong grabbed her hand and said, "In the future, when you come to me to get essential oils, I will give you a discount. It doesn't matter if you buy less. As long as you come, I will give you a discount."

Sister Hong likes Shu Niannian very much. It’s fun to tease such a pretty girl when she comes to buy essential oils!

Shu Niannian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and could only thank Sister Hong.

But she could also understand that with her coarse cloth clothes and a pair of coarse cloth shoes, with her current appearance, probably only Zhang Chunyang and Li Ruyu could still trust her unconditionally.

Although she felt that coarse cloth clothes were comfortable and breathable and would not affect the quality of her face cream at all, clothes make the man, and there will always be people who respect clothes before people. In order to smoothly advance the process of the store opening, Shu Niannian decided to dress herself up first.

Although funds are tight now, we still have to spend the money that needs to be spent.

Shu Niannian returned the essential oil to the guesthouse, and then went to the Yanggulou compound, recalling her memories of her previous life.

Yanggulou Courtyard is a shantytown. Although there is no ready-made clothing store here, there lives a craftsman who specializes in making cheongsams.

After she became rich in her previous life, she began to pay attention to her personal image. There was no other way. Although she still felt that clothes made of pure cotton were very comfortable to wear, the circle she was in forced her to dress very delicately.

In her previous life, she spent a lot of trial and error before she finally found a cheongsam that fit her well and showed her temperament in an alley.

Since then, she has only worn cheongsams made by Master Yang.

By the way, at this point in time, Master Yang should have just returned to Haicheng and hasn't picked up his big scissors to make clothes again, right?
