"I know you got a great deal."
Otherwise, why would he be so excited, his face is all distorted from laughing?
"Thanks to Sister Qiu."
Zhou Yi wished he could worship Ruan Qiushui as a god of wealth.
"Through these big deals and cultivating relationships, I have become the top leader in the county, and even in the city, I can gain some influence."
In just half a month, he had firmly established himself in the C City black market. Before, he would never have dared to dream of such a thing.
"You're doing well, keep it up!"
The better Zhou Yi does, the more she ships—a win-win situation.
"It's all thanks to Sister Qiu's help."
Zhou Yi was extremely grateful to Ruan Qiushui. If he didn't have some self-awareness, he would have married her.
"Alright, enough with the chit-chat. I brought you some new gadgets this time."
Ruan Qiushui took out toner, lotion, and face cream from her basket and placed them in front of Zhou Yi.
What is this?
It looks quite exquisite, with a pink and delicate glass bottle, and it smells quite nice.
It's not really appropriate for a grown man like him to hold it.
"This is a skincare product, even more high-end than face cream, understand?"
Ruan Qiushui explained the effects, benefits, and usage methods.
"A set is priced at fifteen yuan, mainly targeting the high-end market."
Ordinary people can't even afford to buy face cream, so they should probably stick to making money off the rich when it comes to skincare products.
"Sister Qiu, is this stuff really that good? Is its origin legitimate?"
Is it even better than face cream? Could it be a smuggled product from abroad?
"What are you thinking? These are all made by your sister herself, so you can sell them without worry."
"By the way, try to get me a batch of glass bottles that are about the same size, even if they are different colors."
There aren't many glass bottles left in the space, otherwise I'll have to use bamboo tubes to store toner next time.
"My sister Qiu is really amazing."
It's amazing that they can even make skincare products themselves.
Stop flattering me and come with me to pick up the goods. Besides the fruit, I also brought you some other good stuff.
Ruan Qiushui has been busy in the space for the past two days, and the warehouse is almost full again.
Not only does she need to clear out a batch of grains, oils, and meats, but she also needs to clear out a lot of processed bedding sets, quilts, and cotton-padded jackets. She also processed a lot of hair accessories from colored fabric, which she estimates will bring in another big profit.
"Then, Sister Qiu, what do you think is appropriate for me to bring? I recently acquired a few antique vases and two paintings and calligraphy pieces. What do you think?"
"The goods cost 30,000 in total. I'll take everything. I'll pay the rest later."
After thinking about it, Ruan Qiushui decided to keep all the old items.
"Sis, I see you making such big deals every time, why don't you consider buying a house here?"
In Zhou Yi's eyes, Ruan Qiushui was someone who was elusive and sometimes impossible to find.
Buying a house gives you a sense of belonging, and you'll eventually run into someone.
"Are houses allowed to be bought and sold now?"
Ruan Qiushui calculated the time; it was only 1976, a year before the resumption of the college entrance examination, let alone the reform and opening up.
"Now that the policies are more relaxed, as long as you say you're a relative, no one can find fault with you."
Even the black market turns a blind eye, otherwise his black market business wouldn't have been able to grow so big.
If this had happened a few years ago, we would have wiped them all out long ago.
"Sure, if the price is right, pick out a few nicer courtyard houses for me."
You can never have too much real estate.
If she could, she'd buy ten or eight sets in every city. Then, even if she were a lazy bum, she'd be rolling in money.
"Then I'll have someone bring the money and pick up the goods right away."
Zhou Yi was happy.
If Sister Qiu says this, it means she's planning to settle down here.
He needs to find a way to become Qiu Jie's neighbor so that their business relationship can be more solid.
"Sister Qiu, look, these are all the items I collected."
Zhou Yi's younger brother brought over a cart with five antique vases, as well as some calligraphy, paintings, and jewelry on it.
It was obvious that such a large item couldn't fit in her disguised basket.
To just casually push yourself out like that would probably mean you don't respect this era.
"Keep these things here for now. When you buy the yard, just put them in for me."
Forget it, it's not easy to take it with me. Let's just put it in the house and move it later.
"Okay, I'll definitely handle it perfectly."
This is not a difficult task, and he should thank Sister Qiu for her trust.
The two arrived at the old house, and after Zhou Yixin expressed his surprise and admiration, the transaction was completed.
"So tired."
Finally, before dark, Ruan Qiushui rode her bicycle back to the clinic and collapsed onto the bed.
"Looking at my face, I don't look like a skeleton."
She only stopped briefly on her way back to the brigade to relieve herself in her spatial dimension, but as soon as she came out, she encountered a large, yellow-haired dog that was drooling and barking at her.
Her first reaction was definitely fear; with all her bones, she wouldn't even be enough for a dog to eat.
She thought she'd try to ride her bicycle away, but the big yellow dog was determined to catch up. The faster she ran, the more excited the dog became.
If she hadn't moved at breakneck speed, she probably would have had to spend the night in the space.
"Ruan Zhiqing, are you there? I am Wang Qiaohui, please open the door."
Just as Ruan Qiushui had calmed down, Wang Qiaohui knocked on the door.
"ill?"
Ruan Qiushui opened the door and let Wang Qiaohui in.
"ah?"
Wang Qiaohui: Are you being polite?
"What do you mean, 'huh'? I'm asking you what's wrong with you?"
Ruan Qiushui placed the pulse pillow on the table and tapped it.
She's a clinic doctor; if she's not here to see her for medical treatment, what else could she be here for?
Do you really think you can discuss how to rise to the top in front of her, the official wife?
“Ruan Zhiqing, it’s not me who’s sick, it’s my mother. My mother has fainted at the foot of the mountain, please go and save her.”
Wang Qiaohui kept her head down, adopting a very humble posture.
"Then have someone carry your mother over. I can't lift her myself."
Ruan Qiushui quickly put away the pulse pillow and refused without even thinking.
This person's performance was so unprofessional; they didn't show any genuine emotion at all.
If her own mother had really fainted, would she still be so calm and unhurried? She would probably have been crying in panic long ago.
"ah?"
Wang Qiaohui was caught off guard by Ruan Qiushui's words.
Under normal circumstances, shouldn't we have acted with compassion as doctors and then quickly go with her?
How is the show going to start now?
"It doesn't seem to be a serious illness. Let's take your mother back and let her rest and recover slowly."
Who has time to play around with you?
She got up really early this morning to make some snacks, so she should catch up on her sleep now.
"Ruan Zhiqing, I beg you, please come with me to save my mother. My mother's face is pale, she's barely breathing, I'm afraid she won't make it."
Wang Qiaohui burst into tears and knelt down directly in front of Ruan Qiushui.
