Because no agreement could be reached on selling the patent, the matter has been temporarily put on hold.
But ever since that discussion, Yue Shuzhen has stopped participating in the promotion of the moisturizing cream, as if she has simply withdrawn from the business. She leaves early and returns late every day, acting mysteriously.
So only Qin Meng and Shen Huan were left to sell diligently. Molly, because her major was different from theirs, could hardly keep up with them in her spare time and could only help out occasionally.
On the way to school, Qin Meng and Shen Huan set up a small table, their expressions contrasting, both looking somewhat dejected.
"I don't know what's going on, but there are so few people buying moisturizing cream these past few days," Shen Huan lamented.
"Maybe everyone hasn't finished using what they bought. We sell quality products at reasonable prices, in large quantities. Almost all the girls in the school have bought them, so there will always be repeat customers."
Qin Meng was relatively optimistic. As she was talking, two regular customers walked past her stall hand in hand, and she mustered up her courage and called out.
"Hey you two, do you want to buy some more moisturizing cream? I think you bought some before, you must be almost out of it."
Upon hearing her voice, the two girls turned around, smiled shyly, and waved.
"No need, we've already bought it. It's the same as yours, but cheaper."
"ah?"
Shen Huan immediately stepped forward and asked, "Only our store sells this moisturizing cream. Where did you buy it from? Weren't you scammed?"
"No, they're also from Huada University, a few boys, and from the same college as you. We've smelled them, and the fragrance and usage are exactly the same. You should lower your price, otherwise you definitely won't be able to outsell them."
The two girls were kind-hearted; they even reminded them. Shen Huan didn't have time to thank them after hearing this, but felt it was strange and odd, so she couldn't help but ask another question.
Where do they sell them?
"Outside the school, next to the market, many older women are buying it."
The person left as soon as they finished speaking, without even glancing at the moisturizing cream on the stall. Shen Huan wanted to chase after them to ask for clarification, but Qin Meng stopped her.
"Let's go back and tell Wanqing first."
"That's good. Maybe someone is making counterfeit or substandard products. We must make sure that person goes to jail!"
Seeing that there was little business, the two packed up their stall and went home. After hearing about this from them, Jiang Wanqing immediately decided to go to the market to investigate what had happened.
The three of them went together, and when they arrived at the scene, they found that the people setting up the stall were Chen Zhong and his roommate!
Three grown men were hawking their body lotion like they were selling pork.
"A cheap and effective moisturizing cream, you won't regret buying it!"
"If you want to buy moisturizing cream produced by BGI, come to us. It's cheap and affordable."
They stood a short distance away and watched for a while, and surprisingly, there were quite a few people gathered around their stall.
"Wanqing, where did they get this moisturizing cream? We're the only ones selling it!" Shen Huan, who usually doesn't get angry easily, was furious at this moment.
"That's despicable!" Qin Meng said.
"I'll go take a look..."
Jiang Wanqing's face darkened. Only a few of them knew the formula for her moisturizing cream. How could that idiot Chen Zhong have come up with it?
However, before she could finish speaking, Guo Xueyun and Yue Shuzhen appeared in front of the stall hand in hand.
"It's Shuzhen and Teacher Guo! How could they..."
Shen Huan and Qin Meng exchanged a worried glance, a bold and terrifying conjecture rising in their minds at the same time. Before they could even utter a word, they immediately shook their heads in denial.
"No, Shuzhen would never betray us. Although she is a bit arrogant, she is still loyal."
Jiang Wanqing remained silent. Last time, Yue Shuzhen and she had different opinions about selling the patent, and they parted on bad terms. It was not impossible that Yue Shuzhen would use this as a motive to get involved with Chen Zhong for revenge.
"go back."
"ah?"
"No, Wanqing, we should go and find out the truth, not just leave like this..."
Before Shen Huan could finish speaking, Jiang Wanqing had already turned and left, leaving the two of them no choice but to follow.
As they left, Chen Zhong and his group saw them and burst into mocking laughter.
"Hahaha... that bitch has finally met her match!"
Guo Xueyun casually picked up a box of moisturizing cream from the stall, applied two dabs to her face, sniffed it with her fingertips, and nodded with a raised eyebrow.
"It really works well and smells great, but from now on it will be our patent!"
Yue Shuzhen's eyes flickered and she blinked a few times, as if she had suddenly thought of something.
"Teacher Guo, speaking of patents, there's been a merchant who's been trying to buy the patent for Jiang Wanqing's moisturizing cream for mass production, and the price they're offering isn't low. I think you can't set up a stall every day, so why don't you just sell it? That way, they won't be able to make money from the moisturizing cream anymore, wouldn't that be killing two birds with one stone?"
Upon hearing this, Guo Xueyun hissed and Chen Zhong seemed to be deep in thought.
"That's really a good idea. It saves us from having to fight with that bitch for petty gains and let the big merchants deal with her. Not bad."
They quickly understood and realized that Yue Shuzhen's suggestion was excellent, and they trusted her even more.
Chen Zhong asked impatiently, "Do you have that merchant's contact information?"
Yes, I'll introduce him to you!
"That's wonderful! We won't treat you unfairly after it's done!"
"I'll just take my share," Yue Shuzhen readily agreed.
"With a smart person like Yue helping us, we'll definitely make it difficult for Jiang Wanqing to move an inch in the future!"
Chen Zhong narrowed his eyes. Things were going more smoothly than he had imagined. He said that Yue Shuzhen was smart, but in his heart he was already planning how to squeeze this "fool" dry!
Guo Xueyun, who was standing to the side, curled her lips slyly and took two boxes of moisturizing cream from the stall and stuffed them into Yue Shuzhen's hands.
"Take it and use it as you like. We'll make sure you have plenty of your moisturizing cream from now on!"
Once the item was returned to her, Yue Shuzhen quickly put it back, shaking her head to hide her disgust.
"Thank you, but I don't want it. I still have more than I need from Jiang Wanqing. You can keep it and sell it. I have to go back to school now."
"good."
She released Guo Xueyun's hand, and as she turned around, she took out a handkerchief from her bag and wiped her palms and the backs of her hands...
As soon as she returned to the dormitory, four pairs of eyes stared at her, their eyes filled with anger.
She touched her hair, slung her bag over her shoulder, and calmly walked inside.
"Everyone's here, what's up?"
Molly launched the first attack, pointing directly at her: "You still have the nerve to ask us what's going on! Did you leak the formula to Chen Zhong and the others?! Last time I saw the two of you talking secretly, and you said it was just a coincidence, but that's not true at all! You betrayed us!"
"Shuzhen, is that really true?" Shen Huan still had a glimmer of hope.
“That formula is Wanqing’s hard work. We know you’re upset about the patent issue, but you can’t do something so unethical.”
Snap!
Yue Shuzhen angrily slammed her bag on the table, glanced around at everyone, and looked at Jiang Wanqing, who remained silent.
"Is that what you all think of me?"
