As they were talking, it was time for the state-run restaurant to serve their meal, and the two found a corner seat.
After Li Ping sat down, she first put her bag on the stool next to her, then thought for a moment and put it back on her sling. She also reminded Zhou Qiqi to be careful and then continued.
"Your batch of goods sold so well, I wanted some too. But Deputy Factory Director Zhang said that all the goods were bought up by wholesalers in Huacheng, not a single one was left. I had to use your name to get a set. I kept this favorite one for myself, and gave the rest to my family."
The two talked as they ordered their food.

“Well said! Exactly! Instead of bothering with them, you could make more money in that time.”
Li Ping put her arm around Zhou Qiqi's and returned to her seat, then asked her another question.
"By the way, when will your next batch of goods be available? Give me the inside scoop so I can grab some in advance."
