When the two first got together, Wang Xu did indeed behave very well.

After learning that her daughter was dating, Li Guizhi repeatedly emphasized that she must cherish herself and that a girl should not easily give away her chastity.

Jiang Xiaoli listened to her very much, especially after Li Guizhi died suddenly of a heart attack after graduation, she regarded her constant admonitions as gospel.

After being rejected by her multiple times, Wang Xu got together with Tian Xiaomeng.

It wasn't until the two were about to get married that Tian Xiaomeng couldn't help but confront Jiang Xiaoli.

The thought of Tian Xiaomeng, with her surgically altered face, arrogantly approaching her and saying she was pregnant with Wang Xu's child, made Jiang Xiaoli unable to resist glancing at Tian Xiaomeng.

She was still a pretty young girl back then, and she looked much more pleasing to the eye!

Stared at like that, Tian Xiaomeng couldn't help but touch her face. "Xiaoli, is there something on my face?"

Jiang Xiaoli quickly waved her hand, "No, no, I was just lost in thought."

"Hehe, you're still the same! By the way, I heard from my mom that your family's spicy snack business is booming. Did your mom increase your allowance?"

Tian Xiaomeng listened to her mother talking all night about how well spicy strips were selling, and that Jiang Xiaoli's family must have made a lot of money...

Jiang Xiaoli's eyes flickered upon hearing this, "No way, my mom only gave me the money to register. She was afraid I'd waste it!"

After saying that, she walked quickly towards the school.

Unable to get any information out of her, Tian Xiaomeng had no choice but to follow after her.

When we arrived at the school, most people had already registered in the morning, so there were only four or five people in front of the registration line.

When it was Jiang Xiaoli's turn, she handed the admission notice to the teacher, who then gave her an application form.

Following the teacher's instructions, she filled out the information, went to the finance office to pay the fee, and then returned to the registration office with the payment slip.

The teacher gave her a note with the classroom name and seat number written on it.

"This is your admission ticket for tomorrow's placement exam. Bring this to the exam tomorrow and don't be late!" the teacher instructed her.

Tian Xiaomeng followed behind Jiang Xiaoli the whole time. Now that the two of them had finished the registration procedures, she couldn't help but ask, "Xiaoli, have you been to the school before? You seem to know this place very well."

Having studied here for three years, how could I not be familiar with it!

Jiang Xiaoli chuckled and said, "Yes, I came here to scout the place before."

On their way home, Tian Xiaomeng asked nervously, "Xiaoli, how's your revision going? I feel like I'll probably only be placed in a regular class."

Jiang Xiaoli wants to say, young lady, you have a very clear understanding of your own position!

She smiled and said, "I've done a good job reviewing. I think I can get into the top class!"

Tian Xiaomeng was clearly surprised by this answer. Her grades were even better than Jiang Xiaoli's before, and she wasn't confident that she could get into the top class. She didn't believe that Jiang Xiaoli could.

"Xiao Li is the best! I believe you can do it!" Tian Xiaomeng thought to herself, "Top class, huh? Let's see if you can still laugh if you don't get in!"

Jiang Xiaoli didn't care whether her encouragement was sincere or not, "I also think I can do it!"

Having successfully killed the conversation and made Tian Xiaomeng withdrawn, Jiang Xiaoli happily went home.

Li Guizhi wasn't home. She glanced at the half-empty spicy snack bar in the kitchen and knew that her mother must have gone to deliver the goods to the convenience store where she had picked up the order yesterday.

Just now, when she went to register at school, Li Guizhi said she would ride her bike to check on the situation at the small shops where she had sold her goods yesterday.

It seems business is going quite well!

A short while later, Li Guizhi rode her bicycle in.

Seeing her daughter return, she asked with concern, "Did you register? How did it go?"

Jiang Xiaoli wiped her mother's sweat. "It's great! We'll take the placement test tomorrow morning, and we can go to school to see the class assignments at 5 pm!"

Li Guizhi was puzzled. "So fast, can the papers be graded already?"

Although the teacher at the registration office didn't say it, she had taken this exam in her previous life!

She explained, "The placement test consisted entirely of multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blank questions, and the papers were graded very quickly!"

Li Guizhi understood. She told Jiang Xiaoli to study and cram at the last minute to try to get into the top class, while she continued to deliver goods to other stores.

Jiang Xiaoli wanted to go with them to see if there were any other shops she could explore, but Li Guizhi chased her away to the house to study with a fierce look in her eyes.

There's no way around it; in a mother's eyes, nothing is more important than her child's studies.

She could only stay at home and flip through her textbooks. Li Guizhi delivered the goods twice more before finally stopping.

All of the approximately 300 jin (150 catties) of spicy strips have been shipped out today.

She fanned herself and discussed with Jiang Xiaoli, "We really need to get a tricycle; this bicycle can only deliver so few goods at a time!"

Just as Zong Jia was about to knock on the gate, she overheard their conversation and said with a smile, "Auntie, I have an old tricycle here, would you like it?"

Li Guizhi smiled and invited him to sit down, "Xiao Zong, don't you young men need to deliver goods by tricycle?"

Zong Jia shook her head. "We used to have two tricycles for selling popsicles, but one of them is now idle. Auntie, if you think it might be useful, have Xiao Li come with me to pick it up, and I'll ride it back to her in a bit."

Li Guizhi thought for a moment and agreed, "Xiao Zong, how much is your tricycle? Auntie will get you the money."

"Okay, Auntie, it's 100 yuan. We'll pay you back when we get back." After saying that, he gave Jiang Xiaoli a look to follow him and left the courtyard.

Jiang Xiaoli came out slowly. "If you have anything you want to ask, just say it."

Zong Jia chuckled and asked, "Are you currently distributing goods to the nearby convenience stores?"

"Yes, they sell it by weight in bulk. You weigh it yourself when you buy it at the convenience store," Jiang Xiaoli gave him a definite answer.

Then she countered with, "What are your retail prices?"

“A 150-gram pack costs 50 cents,” Zong Jiayu replied.

Jiang Xiaoli took a deep breath. This kid really knows how to make money; he's even more ruthless than her!

She sells a 100-gram bag for 30 cents, but in reality, people often buy two bags together for 50 cents.

His packaging design makes it look like 150 grams, which is a lot of weight, but the price is much higher.

She couldn't help but wonder, "You have a way?"

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to sell so quickly at this price. The seasoning packets that Dafulai brought today can make about 350 jin of spicy strips.

"Yes," Zong Jiayu nodded slightly, "Dafu's father is the purchasing manager of Lelego."

Now Jiang Xiaoli understood.

Lelego is the largest chain supermarket in Xijing City, with nine branches throughout the city.

From this perspective, 350 jin (125 catties) can only be packaged into a little over 1000 packs of spicy strips, which is really not enough for Lelego's scale.

"You're here to discuss the price of the seasoning packets, right?" Jiang Xiaoli asked bluntly.

Talking to smart people is this simple: "Yeah, Little Pear, how about we try a different way of working together?"

"Oh? Tell me about it?"
