Chapter 27: Finding a way to survive in adversity



"Little girl, your idea is really good, I support you!"

Boss Li looked at the expectant eyes of the crowd, then looked at Shen Qiqi's confident smile, and finally nodded: "Okay, since everyone says so, then I will give you a chance. Tell me about your cooperation plan."

The corners of Shen Qiqi's mouth rose slightly. It seemed that this first move was the right one.

She cleared her throat and said slowly, "My idea is..." She moved closer to Boss Li, lowered her voice, and said mysteriously, "We can..."

Administrator Zhang took in all of this through the blinds in his office.

His face was gloomy and his fists were clenched.

This Shen Qiqi is really an indestructible cockroach!

It seems that I have to think of a new way to treat her.

Shen Qiqi leaned close to Boss Li's ear, lowered her voice, and said mysteriously, "We can... join forces to make a bigger cake, and then..." She paused deliberately, observing Boss Li's reaction. Seeing his curious face, she continued, "...and then divide it together!"

Boss Li raised an eyebrow, clearly dissatisfied with the answer. "That's it? I thought you had some clever tricks up your sleeve! To be frank, you just want me to take you flying."

Shen Qiqi was not annoyed, and continued to smile and said: "Boss Li, this temple fair is so big, and there are only so many cakes. It would be too hard for you to eat them all by yourself. Why don't we cooperate and make the cake bigger? Then we can all enjoy the delicious food together, wouldn't it be wonderful?"

Boss Li pondered for a moment, and finally agreed to Shen Qiqi's request for cooperation.

After all, having one more person to help is always better than fighting alone.

Moreover, this little girl looks very clever and maybe she can really help him open up a new situation.

Just as the two were discussing the details of the cooperation, Administrator Zhang suddenly pushed the door open and stared at Shen Qiqi with a gloomy face: "Shen Qiqi, your booth fee will be increased to ten yuan starting tomorrow!"

The stall owners around all gasped.

Ten dollars!

This is twice their usual stall fee!

Isn't this obviously a deliberate attempt to make things difficult?

Shen Qiqi just smiled slightly, not frightened at all: "Manager Zhang, you are asking for too much, aren't you? We small vendors earn our money through hard work. If you raise the price so much all of a sudden, how can we survive?"

Administrator Zhang sneered, "How do you live? That's your business! I just want my money!"

Shen Qiqi's eyes gradually turned cold. It seemed that this old fox would not release the eagle until he saw the rabbit!

She took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in her heart, and said calmly: "Manager Zhang, aren't you afraid that someone will report you for doing this?"

Administrator Zhang curled his lips in disdain: "Report me? Go ahead! Let's see who will believe you!"

Shen Qiqi didn't say anything else, just glanced at Administrator Zhang meaningfully, turned around and left the office.

Boss Li looked at Shen Qiqi's departing back, feeling vaguely uneasy.

What does this little girl want to do?

After returning to the stall, Shen Qiqi said nothing, but just packed up her things silently.

Seeing this, Lu Qing asked with concern, "Qiqi, what's wrong? Did Administrator Zhang give you a hard time again?"

Shen Qiqi nodded and said calmly: "It's okay, I have my own way to deal with him."

Lu Qing looked at Shen Qiqi's determined eyes, his heart full of trust.

He knew that no matter what difficulties his Qiqi encountered, he could overcome them.

As night falls, the noise of the temple fair gradually fades away.

Shen Qiqi sat alone in front of the stall, holding a small notebook with some things densely written on it.

"Tomorrow..." She muttered to herself with a slight smile on her lips, "There will be something interesting to watch..."
