At this moment, some wealthy young men were already sneering, "Lin Youfang, your grandma is very rich, isn't she? That chain is so thick."
He looks like a nouveau riche.
Miss Lin didn't catch the sarcasm in his words and thought he was praising Grandma Lin for being rich. She smiled shyly and said, "Yes, my grandma does have a little bit of savings."
She's just rather stingy. Despite having so many granddaughters, none of them have ever received a single piece of jewelry from Old Mrs. Lin.
Those pieces of jewelry were only displayed for holidays and festivals; they were never given to family members.
However, she would never say these things in front of outsiders; she would only go along with what others said and praise Old Mrs. Lin for being rich.
After all, the young men who came today all came from wealthier families than theirs.
If the other person were to propose to me, that would be wonderful.
Miss Bai heard the mockery in the other person's voice, frowned, but did not retaliate.
Instead, she said, "How about we go have afternoon tea? We've been chatting for a long time."
"Yes, yes, the black tea and coffee are ready. I'll have someone bring them up."
They sat under a large umbrella in the courtyard, and the maid quickly brought them black tea and coffee.
Several young men took a sip and looked somewhat disgusted.
"This coffee is just so-so, not as good as the coffee I had at Nana's house."
Miss Bai smiled and said, "I don't have any left either, just this small jar."
The son of a printing factory owner asked, "Where did you buy your coffee? Buy me two cans too, I drink a cup every morning."
Miss Bai wanted to order it for him, but was worried that Sheng Yueqing might not have it in stock, so she said, "Wait a moment, I'll ask for you."
He then went inside to find Sheng Yueqing.
Sheng Yueqing was currently receiving the odds and ends of money from Old Madam Lin.
Because Grandma Lin was unwilling to pay the remaining balance, but since guests were home today, she had no choice but to pay.
He was reluctant to give her the bill, deliberately not giving her a whole bill, but throwing loose pieces directly in her face to humiliate her.
Sheng Yueqing wasn't angry; as long as she got the money, that was enough.
There's no need to get worked up over this.
Miss Bai frowned as she looked at it. "Grandma, why did you bring such a small amount of loose coins? It looks terrible."
The Lin family at least owns a company; how could a wealthy old lady do something so shameful?
Grandma Lin was immediately displeased by her granddaughter's sarcasm. "What's wrong with small change? Isn't small change money?"
"Can."
Miss Bai wanted to speak up for Sheng Yueqing, but Sheng Yueqing waved her hand and smiled, "It's nothing. The old lady probably doesn't like these odds and ends, so she gave them to me specially."
"I'll take care of the inventory."
Miss Bai was surprised that she wasn't angry at all, and even counted the money down to the last penny in front of Old Mrs. Lin.
They didn't seem to feel humiliated at all.
After taking the money, Sheng Yueqing gave a professional fake smile, "Grandma, I've counted the money, not a penny is missing. You're truly a person of your word."
"I'll be going now. Please call me next time you need to order wedding cakes."
Grandma Lin snorted coldly, thinking to herself, "There won't be a next time!"
She won't buy wedding cakes from her again, even if they taste bad.
It's just a cheap pancake, yet they're begging for money at home; they're practically beggars.
Sheng Yueqing was not annoyed and turned to take her leave.
Miss Bai saw her out, looking embarrassed.
“Sheng Yueqing, my grandmother’s personality is indeed a bit unpleasant, and I’m sorry you’ve suffered.”
Sheng Yueqing didn't expect her to criticize her own family member; she was quite reasonable.
"It's alright, you'll meet all sorts of people in business, as long as the money is paid."
Anyway, the Lin family's business will be done if it can be done, and abandoned if it can't.
She doesn't care about those who are reluctant to give money.
Miss Bai remembered she wanted to buy coffee and asked, "Do you still have any coffee? A lot of my classmates want some, and they'd like to order some from you."
Sheng Yueqing remembered that she still had some coffee left over from the last time, so she asked her how much she wanted.
"Twenty cans, please."
She once threw a party, and many of her male classmates wanted a cup of coffee after they had some.
She likes to drink it herself, and her brother likes it too, so she wanted to buy more.
Sheng Yueqing calculated that there were about thirty cans in the family's inventory, so she agreed.
"Okay, that's all I have. I don't have any more."
The reason her coffee powder smells so good is mainly because she selects high-quality coffee beans and uses excellent processing techniques.
However, the cost of purchasing the goods is not cheap. With the addition of manual labor and plumbing, one can cost fifty yuan.
Miss Bai was quite surprised to hear that a small jar cost fifty yuan.
But thinking that you get what you pay for, the imported one she bought for forty yuan a can before didn't taste this good; instead, it was very bitter.
She figured that her male classmates were all from wealthy families and would probably buy it, so she agreed.
"Okay, then I'll give you the deposit."
She didn't bring much with her today, and since Lu Wensheng happened to be nearby, she borrowed some from him.
This was the first time Miss Bai had lent him money, and Lu Wensheng thought to himself that Miss Bai probably had her eye on his money, so he wanted to show off.
How much do you want?
He was secretly pleased with himself and wanted to show Miss Bai his abilities.
Unexpectedly, Miss Bai blurted out, "Give me five hundred first."
Lu Wensheng fell into the ranks.
"five hundred?"
Why is Miss Bai asking for such an exorbitant amount? Even if his family is rich, they shouldn't expect him to carry 500 yuan.
He has at most two hundred yuan on him.
But because he wanted to save face, he had to say, "I was in a hurry today and didn't bring much with me, only two hundred. You can take it and use it first."
Miss Bai nodded, "It's alright, two hundred is fine too." It's normal that they don't have much money on them since they're just out having a get-together.
I thanked him and said, "I'll pay you back the day after tomorrow."
Lu Wensheng looked pained when he saw her give the money to Sheng Yueqing.
He wondered if Miss Bai would ever pay him back.
After all, he was a grown man, and he was too embarrassed to ask her for money.
I could only clutch my wallet with a pained expression, thinking to myself that I wouldn't carry so much money next time.
His mother always controlled his allowance, and now that it was gone, he'll have to wait until next month to get any more.
Miss Bai gave the deposit to Sheng Yueqing, saying, "Then I'll leave it to you. I'll pay you the balance after you deliver the goods."
Sheng Yueqing was happy to do business with her, and smiled sincerely, "Okay."
"I'll bring you coffee and cake tomorrow, and give them to you together then."
Miss Bai smiled and said, "Yes, yes, I'll be waiting for you to come tomorrow."
After Sheng Yueqing returned home.
Lu Wensheng was still looking at it, thinking that the two hundred yuan was gone just like that. He should have gone out for a meal instead.
When the young ladies of the Lin family saw Miss Bai talking to Sheng Yueqing outside, they asked, "Cousin, what were you saying to that woman?"
Miss Bai disliked her condescending tone and said sternly on behalf of Sheng Yueqing, "That person just now was the owner of a high-end wedding cake shop, named Sheng Yueqing."
"Her wedding cakes are delicious, and the coffee you thought was good last time was also from her."
"By the way, Huang Wenhao, I've ordered the coffee you wanted. It's fifty yuan a can."
Huang Wenhao's family owns a printing factory, and the salary and benefits are quite good. He usually loves to show off in front of a group of wealthy young ladies. He just waved his hand and said, "Fifty is fifty. I've even drunk high-end imported goods that cost a hundred before."
"Give me five cans first, I want to give them away as gifts."
