"you……"
After being insulted by two women in a row, Yuan Zhong's temples throbbed with anger.
"Hmph, what do you mean 'you'? You know who you're talking to! Who should you thank for getting into Huada University?"
Guo Xueyun wasn't afraid of him; she looked him up and down with disdain in her eyes, her posture haughty and superior.
He was angry but dared not speak out; now was not the time to break off relations, he didn't have the resources or the ability...
"I'm sorry, I was so angry with that bitch that I lost my mind. Is there any way to teach her a lesson now?"
He clenched his fists tightly, wishing he could skin Jiang Wanqing alive and suck her blood right then and there!
"Come on, this isn't the place to talk." Guo Xueyun gestured with her chin, indicating that he should leave the lecture hall first.
There are too many people around, and if others see them getting close, trouble is bound to arise. Besides, Jiang Wanqing has already become suspicious, so it's best to strike first!
The two left via a stone path, their steps hurried. They accidentally bumped into two female students, and a metal box fell to the ground with a crisp thud.
"Ah... my moisturizer!"
The girl quickly picked it up, and her friend helped check if it was damaged.
"These things are hard to find these days, are they alright?"
"Thank goodness, it's not broken..."
The two picked up their things and looked up. Although they didn't recognize Guo Xueyun, she looked like someone not to be trifled with. They exchanged glances and decided to leave quickly.
"stop!"
"What do you want?" the girl muttered. "You bumped into me, you're not trying to extort money from me, are you?"
Guo Xueyun gritted her teeth, stared at the things in their hands, and pressed for answers.
"What is this? Where did you buy it?"
She felt like she had just smelled that scent, but couldn't quite place it...
The girl put the moisturizer in her pocket and casually said, "This is a very popular moisturizer lately. It was made by Professor Xue's student, and her roommate is selling it. It's really good."
Yuan Zhong's eyes darted around, and he stepped forward, startling the two female classmates who shrugged off to the side.
"What...what do you want to do?"
"The student of Professor Xue you're talking about, could it be Jiang Wanqing?"
"It's her."
After saying that, the two girls left quickly. Guo Xueyun's arm was bumped, and her mouth was slightly open. She was about to chase after them to demand an explanation when she suddenly thought of something, and her eyes lit up.
"Hmph, the opportunity has been presented to me! Jiang Wanqing's moisturizing cream... what if something goes wrong..."
There were only the two of them on the stone-paved road. Yuan Zhong quickly understood the meaning behind her words, and the corners of his mouth slowly curved up.
In the dormitory—
Qin Meng and Yue Shuzhen were counting money, while Shen Huan and Mo Li watched, resting their chins on their hands.
"Ten yuan...twenty yuan...fifty yuan!"
"A full fifty yuan!"
With a gasp, Jiang Wanqing pushed the door open and entered from the outside. Four pairs of eyes turned to look at her, and Molly pulled her over.
"You're back! Look, this is the money we made selling moisturizing cream, fifty yuan!"
"so much?"
Jiang Wanqing reached out and rummaged around, a hint of surprise in her eyes. But it was alright, after all, fifty was considered a good deal for a meal in her previous life.
She turned her gaze to Qin Meng: "So, is this enough for your food expenses?"
"That's enough, that's more than enough!" Qin Meng nodded repeatedly, biting her lip as she said, "This is enough for me. From now on, we'll all earn more and share the profits!"
Yue Shuzhen pouted: "Of course, I also want to earn money to buy little leather shoes and little skirts."
"Hahaha……"
Everyone burst into laughter. After spending some time together, they all discovered that Yue Shuzhen was a bit arrogant and haughty, but otherwise she was fine.
"Hey, don't laugh at me, Jiang. Tell me about yourself. How did the seminar go? You weren't too discouraged, were you? Don't be too sad. There's always someone better than you, isn't that what you always say? Just because Chen is better than you doesn't mean you can't..."
"Clatter".
Jiang Wanqing took out the medal for first place in the competition and placed it on the table, raising an eyebrow.
"Look at what this is before you speak."
"Wow! You're number one!" Yue Shuzhen exclaimed in surprise.
Shen Huan and Qin Meng exchanged a glance, their expressions a mixture of doubt, surprise, and bewilderment.
"Wanqing, what... what happened? Did Professor Xue prescribe something for you...?"
Molly glared at the outspoken Shen Huan, who realized he had spoken too quickly, and hurriedly covered his mouth and apologized.
"I'm sorry, please don't take it to heart, I..."
"It's nothing. I know you're curious about what happened, so I'll just explain briefly. Chen Zhong's impressive stuff was all plagiarized, it's that simple. I didn't expect that the things I discussed with Professor Xue in private would be used by him. Professor Xue gave him a chance at the seminar, but he couldn't even answer the most basic professional questions. Humph, he only got what he deserved!"
Jiang Wanqing narrowed her eyes. In her previous life, she worked hard for Yuan Zhong, but in this life, not only will he not be able to reach the top of academia, his reputation will also be ruined!
"Is that so? He's absolutely despicable!"
Molly scoffed: "He's more than just despicable, he used to be..."
"Cough cough..." Jiang Wanqing shook her head at her.
"What happened to him before? Did you two know each other before?" Yue Shuzhen's eyes blazed with gossip.
"It's nothing, I misspoke. What I meant was that evil people will get their just desserts. He was going to be caught stealing from others eventually. I just didn't expect the retribution to come so quickly."
Yue Shuzhen pouted, tugged at the end of her side braid, and clicked her tongue.
"What a pity. I thought he was a genius, but he turned out to be an idiot."
"Alright, let's not talk about him anymore. Let's discuss the sale of the moisturizing cream in the future. What are your thoughts?" Jiang Wanqing changed the subject.
“I think we should expand our sales reach so we can make more money!” Yue Shuzhen was the first to raise her hand: “Maybe when we’ve grown bigger, we can even open a store!”
“I think Shuzhen makes a good point, and I’m willing to contribute to expanding the sales reach!”
"I'd love to!"
Everyone agreed, and their faces beamed with joy and hope.
“Then I’ll try to make better packaging so I can sell more!” Molly said.
"Okay, let's do it that way."
The idea is correct. In the future, we can gradually become self-employed, open shops, and start companies. We should focus on the present and then plan step by step.
Everyone agreed that Jiang Wanqing would increase production efforts and produce the second batch of products as soon as possible.
The sales of the moisturizing cream went smoothly without any major setbacks, and we quickly earned our first hundred yuan.
However, accidents always happen suddenly. One day, Cheng Ran came to pick up Jiang Wanqing from school, and several women suddenly appeared out of nowhere and started throwing stones at her.
Even with his fast-paced action scenes, he couldn't prevent Jiang Wanqing from being hit on the forehead, causing blood to seep out.
"It's her! The moisturizing cream she sold ruined our skin, we need to make her pay back!"
"You slut! How can you sleep at night after making money through such despicable means!"
"We must get an explanation!"
