Chapter 188: Danger Escalation: The Return of the Ruffian



When Shen Qiqi heard Sun Tongxing's cold words, anger surged in her heart. She glared at him with contempt in her eyes.

She thought to herself: This Sun Tongxing is such a mean person, he always takes advantage of others when they are down!

Just then, hurried footsteps were heard in the distance, and Lu Qing came with Manager Li from the market management office.

Administrator Li is not tall, but his eyes are sharp, and his uniform looks particularly majestic in the sunlight.

As soon as he saw Qian Dipi's evil deeds, he immediately became serious and shouted loudly: "Qian Dipi, what are you doing here again? You are violating market management regulations. If you keep up this, I will call the police!"

A serious atmosphere quickly spread throughout the market, and people around cast their gazes at him with concern.

When Qian Dipi saw Manager Li coming, he felt guilty and the arrogance on his face disappeared in an instant.

He forced a smile, but it looked more like he was guilty: "Manager Li, you misunderstood. I was just chatting with Shen Qiqi. We are all neighbors. There is no need to make things so awkward, right?"

Administrator Li snorted coldly and moved closer to Qian Dipi: "Chatting? I think you want to steal her business? If you don't leave immediately today, I will hand you over to the police!" His tone was unquestionable, making Qian Dipi dare not delay any longer.

Qian Dipi realized that the situation was not good, so he had to evacuate with his men in shame, still muttering: "We'll see, Shen Qiqi, you just wait!"

Seeing this, Shen Qiqi felt a little relieved, but still remained calm on the surface.

She took a deep breath and smiled gratefully at Lu Qing and Administrator Li: "Thanks to you, thank you so much for this." Her eyes revealed determination, as if to say: This is not over yet, I will not let those evil people go easily.

Lu Qing patted Shen Qiqi's shoulder gently and said softly, "It's okay, I'm here, don't worry." His tone was full of comfort and determination.

Shen Qiqi nodded, then turned her gaze to the customers around her, and put on that familiar smile again on her face: "It is really thanks to everyone's support today that my handicrafts can continue to be sold here. If you like any of them, please take a look!" There was a hint of gratitude and determination in her words, as if declaring to everyone: I will not be intimidated by these evil people, I will continue to work hard to bring you more beauty.

At this moment, Shen Qiqi's eyes suddenly swept over Sun Tongxing who was not far away. Her voice was not loud, but at this moment, it was full of unquestionable determination.

When Sun Tongxing heard this, his face turned ashen in an instant, and he lowered his head in a hurry, not daring to look directly at Shen Qiqi.

However, Shen Qiqi had already started to act. She quickly tidied up the stall and prepared to continue her business, secretly thinking about her next plan in her heart.

Shen Qiqi's actions were a textbook counterattack!

She first stabilized the situation, and then with the arrival of Manager Li, she successfully drove away Qian Dipi and his gang of plagues.

Seeing that the crowd of onlookers had not yet dispersed, she suddenly had an idea and immediately started the "product promotion" mode, enthusiastically promoting her products to the surrounding customers: "Dear fellow villagers, our handicrafts are all embroidered stitch by stitch, one-of-a-kind. Don't miss them if you pass by!"

As she spoke, she picked up an exquisitely embroidered purse and displayed it in the sunlight. The bright colors and exquisite patterns instantly attracted everyone's attention.

The onlookers were all moved by her courage and craftsmanship. In addition, since Qian the gangster had just caused trouble, everyone felt a little sympathetic towards her, so they all paid for the products.

"Give me one of these purses!" "This hairpin is so pretty, I want one too!" "And this, this, pack them all up for me!" For a moment, Shen Qiqi's stall was crowded with people, and it was very lively, as if it was a big market during the New Year.

She smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed into slits, and the excitement in her heart erupted like a volcano, overflowing: Hey, this is my true strength!

On the other side, Qian Dipi and Sun Tongxing, who had fled in disgrace, were so angry that they almost vomited blood when they saw the heated scene in front of Shen Qiqi's stall.

Qian Dipi's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He clenched his fists, his nails almost digging into the flesh. He stared at Shen Qiqi viciously, wishing he could eat her alive.

Sun Tongxing was not much better. His jealous eyes were about to spit fire. His heart felt like it was being scratched by a cat, making him itch unbearably: Why is it that Shen Qiqi is so successful?

No, I must make her look good!

Just when Shen Qiqi was busy and felt that she was extremely lucky today, a sudden voice, like a basin of cold water, instantly extinguished her enthusiasm.

"I say, is this handicraft of yours plagiarized?"

A woman who was dressed simply and looked a bit older was holding an embroidered handkerchief sold by Shen Qiqi. She looked at it carefully, her brows furrowed, and there was a hint of doubt in her tone.

As soon as she finished speaking, the customers around her stopped what they were doing and turned their eyes to Shen Qiqi, like a group of curious cats, waiting for her next reaction.

The smile on Shen Qiqi's face froze instantly, and an ominous premonition came to her heart: What?

Plagiarism?

Where did this come from?

She took a deep breath and tried to stay calm, but her heart was a mess, as if an invisible hand was messing with her thoughts.

I'm afraid what happens next won't be that simple...
