As the sun sets, the golden afterglow shines on the market, painting everything with a warm color.
Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing stood side by side, looking at the bustling crowd, their hearts filled with joy and a sense of accomplishment.
Lu Qing looked at Shen Qiqi, his eyes full of love and pride, as if he wanted to pour all his tenderness into her.
He held Shen Qiqi's hand tightly, interlocking their fingers, as if he wanted to remember this moment of happiness forever.
"Qiqi, you're awesome!" Lu Qing's voice was low and magnetic, with a barely perceptible tremor.
Shen Qiqi responded to his gaze, and the feeling of happiness overflowed in her heart, like a trickle of water, nourishing her heart.
She leaned gently on Lu Qing's shoulder, feeling the warmth and strength coming from him.
At this moment, it seemed as if time had stopped, with only the sound of their heartbeats remaining.
Suddenly, a discordant voice broke the beautiful atmosphere.
"Chen Qiqi, I didn't expect that you could actually sell this thing!" Dealer Liu's voice came from the crowd with a hint of sourness.
He had a false smile on his face, but a calculating glint in his eyes.
Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing turned around at the same time and looked at Dealer Liu.
Shen Qiqi's expression instantly turned cold, and she said coldly: "Boss Liu, it seems that you are very interested in my new product."
"Of course. How could I miss such a good business opportunity?" Dealer Liu rubbed his hands, with a hint of greed in his tone.
"How about considering my terms of cooperation? 50/50, how about that?"
"Fifty-fifty? Boss Liu, are you dreaming?" Shen Qiqi sneered, her tone full of disdain.
"Back then, you wouldn't even agree to a 70/30 split, and now that my product is successful, you want a piece of the action? There's no such thing as a good deal!"
Dealer Liu's expression changed. "Chen Qiqi, don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit! You'd better think it over carefully. The consequences of offending me are not something you can bear!"
Shen Qiqi met his gaze fearlessly and said firmly, "I, Shen Qiqi, have never been afraid of threats! If you want to cooperate, show your sincerity. Otherwise, please leave and don't disturb my business!"
Dealer Liu was so angry that his face turned ashen. He glared at Shen Qiqi fiercely and said with gritted teeth, "Okay, you wait for me!" After that, he turned and left, his back full of resentment and unwillingness.
Shen Qiqi looked at his back. She held Lu Qing's hand tightly and said firmly, "Lu Qing, we'll see!"
After Dealer Liu left in a rage, he came back with a shameless face two days later.
This time he learned his lesson and did not mention the fifty-fifty split. Instead, he lowered his posture and expressed his willingness to accept the conditions proposed by Shen Qiqi before.
Shen Qiqi looked at his frustrated expression, feeling secretly happy, but she remained expressionless, and simply said lightly, "I'll think about it again."
After Dealer Liu left, Lu Qing teased Shen Qiqi with a smile: "Wife, you are really good at playing hard to get!" Shen Qiqi raised her eyebrows and said proudly: "Of course, don't you see who I am!"
The new product was an instant hit, and orders poured in like snowflakes. Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing were kept busy.
Not only did dealer Liu bow his head obediently, but many new partners also came to them on their own initiative, hoping to cooperate with them.
Looking at the mountains of orders in the warehouse, Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing smiled at each other, their eyes full of relief and joy.
They stood on the stage of success, accepting congratulations from everyone, with flash cameras flashing non-stop, recording this glorious moment.
The cheerful music echoed in their ears, the people around them were cheering for them, and the lively atmosphere seemed to ignite the entire space.
Just as Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing were immersed in joy, a piece of news broke the lively atmosphere.
The village is going to hold a harvest celebration and needs their help in preparations.
"Funds, venues, personnel... these are all problems!" Shen Qiqi looked at the celebration budget sheet in her hand with a frown.
Lu Qing also looked worried and said, "Yes, this is a considerable expense."
"What should I do about this celebration..." Shen Qiqi muttered to herself, her eyes fixed on the budget sheet for a long time...
"Knock knock knock—" There was a knock on the door.
"Please come in." Lu Qing said.
The door opened, and a villager hurried in, looking panicked. "Qiqi, Lu Qing, something's wrong..."
