"The people over there are always yelling at him to return the goods."
"He felt that this batch of goods didn't have much money, and since it was settled monthly, they couldn't possibly lose money, so there was no need to return the goods."
This surprised Song Yunqi a bit.
They spent two days running around Weidu, and it's quite rare to see someone who doesn't want to return goods.
Xu Qingyi finished the last puff of her cigarette and stomped it out hard.
"Alright, let's go."
"I feel that it won't be long before we find out the specifics of the situation."
With that, Xu Qingyi got up and led Song Yunqi on their way back to the countryside.
This trip was not easy. The two traveled a long way through the countryside before finally arriving at a supply and marketing cooperative in Weidu Township.
As soon as she entered, Xu Qingyi pretended to be walking by and asked the shop owner where she could buy water.
The person in charge of the shop was a middle-aged woman with curly hair, who was embroidering while tending to the shop.
After giving Xu Qingyi directions, the middle-aged woman continued with her own tasks.
After going around in circles, Xu Qingyi took two bags of peanuts, two bags of braised food, and two bottles of water, and then went to the counter to take out her wallet.
"Sis, give me two bottles of that Erguotou."
"Then get me a bag."
"These fried dough sticks are good, give me three."
When the middle-aged woman saw that Xu Qingyi had bought so many things, she couldn't stop smiling and exchanged all sorts of polite greetings.
"What does a small business owner do?"
"Coming here to do business?"
Xu Qingyi smiled and took out a red banknote from her pocket and handed it over.
"Oh, no, it's not that bad. I was just taking a friend home."
"We'll just grab a bite on the way."
"By the way, sis, I've been going around in circles, but I haven't seen any Xiangpiaopiao. I was thinking of buying two cups to drink on the way."
The middle-aged woman immediately frowned.
"Xiangpiaopiao?"
"Why would I join a company that's about to go bankrupt?"
“I ordered quite a lot before, but I returned them all last month.”
Upon seeing this, Xu Qingyi's eyes lit up with joy, and she quickly pretended to be shocked.
"Who said it's going to go bankrupt?"
“It sells really well in Makino. I buy a couple of cups whenever I have a spare moment.”
"How could this company go bankrupt?"
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged woman immediately put on an act as if she knew the inside story.
She glanced around and then explained in a low voice.
"You don't know this, do you? There's a problem with Xiangpiaopiao's raw materials; they can't supply them right now."
"We've almost run out of Xiangpiaopiao milk powder in Weidu these past two months."
"It's about to go bankrupt!"
After the middle-aged woman finished speaking, Xu Qingyi became even more certain that this was the person he was looking for.
Looking at the confident middle-aged woman in front of him, he pushed the things in his hands back.
"Sis, how could you spread such rumors?"
“My cousin works with Xiangpiaopiao, but I’ve never heard of this.”
"In our Muye area, many shops are scrambling to buy our goods."
"You've been scammed."
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged woman was completely stunned.
He saw Xu Qingyi about to return the items she had bought, looking quite unhappy. She also wanted to close the deal, so she quickly smiled apologetically.
"Look, look."
"I only heard about this whole mess."
"Our small business doesn't dare to gamble against big companies like them."
The middle-aged woman shrugged, looking helpless.
"There's nothing we can do, we still need to eat."
"We dare not gamble with him."
"You small business owners don't understand us small businesses."
Xu Qingyi suddenly changed her tone and spoke up to comfort the middle-aged woman.
"Sister, you're absolutely right."
“My family also runs a small shop, but this business is not easy.”
"Money is hard to earn, and life is tough. Who can stand this kind of thing?"
Xu Qingyi used just three sentences to immediately build a close relationship with the middle-aged woman.
The older woman nodded repeatedly with an expression of approval, her eyes showing more admiration for Xu Qingyi.
At this moment, Xu Qingyi suddenly changed the subject.
"But honestly, sis, you've probably been scammed."
"My shop sells Xiangpiaopiao (a type of Chinese herbal tea), and I make at least this much every month. The main reason is that it's cheap, and kids like to drink it."
Xu Qingyi gestured five thousand, which made the older woman gasp.
As the spokesperson for Xiangpiaopiao, she must know that with a shipment volume of 5,000 units, she can earn at least 1,000 yuan in profit per month from the goods.
At this moment, the middle-aged woman's eyes widened as she stared at Xu Qingyi.
"so much?"
"Where is your convenience store located?"
Xu Qingyi quickly changed her tune and explained.
“Our place is similar to this one; people from two or three villages come to our house to buy things.”
"Sis, think about it carefully, have you been fooled by someone?"
"This person probably doesn't want you to do well, or he doesn't want Xiangpiaopiao to do well."
At this moment, the middle-aged woman also completely sided with Xu Qingyi.
From her perspective, Xu Qingyi should be the person who can help him the most, since they both run small shops.
The middle-aged woman frowned.
"Oh, now that you mention it, it does seem like there's something wrong."
"I heard that Ma Laoba from Majia Village used to work at Xiangpiaopiao."
"After this kid came back, he told everyone he met that Xiangpiaopiao was going to go bankrupt and that we should sell our products."
