Chapter 30: Everyone has a bright and beautiful future
After hearing this, the two women frowned.
"Is it so expensive?"
"Sweet potatoes are everywhere in the countryside, why are you selling them so expensively?"
There was a hint of impatience on their delicately made-up faces, and they looked at Chen Xiang with a hint of disdain.
Chen Xiang was already used to this kind of look.
She picked up a small sweet potato and broke it in half before passing it to them: "My two sisters, I'd like you to have a taste first. The sweet potatoes in my house are all grown on white sandy land. They are definitely a good variety and taste sweet and sticky."
The woman reached out and took the sweet potato.
Both of them had their neatly manicured nails painted with the brightest red nail polish, which made their hands look white and delicate, with slender fingers, and looked particularly beautiful.
One of the women with short wavy hair took a bite and nodded slightly: "Not bad, it's a sandy sweet potato."
Chen Xiang smiled and said, "Yes, it's sandy! How is it, sister? Is it sweet?"
"It's OK... give me two."
The other woman saw that her companions had bought some, and she felt embarrassed not to buy some, so she followed suit and said, "I want those two over there."
"Okay, wait a moment."
Chen Xiang moved quickly. After cleaning the sweet potato, she quickly wrapped it with zong leaves. "Here, sister! Be careful of the burns."
The two of them gave the money, turned around with the sweet potatoes, and trotted into the department store again.
In fact, judging from her appearance, Chen Xiang is definitely younger than them.
But by calling her sister, she did not suffer any loss, and it also made them happy and made them spend money to buy her sweet potatoes.
Nowadays, who can resist money?
As long as I can make money, what’s the harm in calling you sister a few more times?
Not long after the women went in, salespeople wearing the same uniform came out one after another and walked straight to the tricycle: "Three cents for two?"
"Yes, two for three cents, take your pick, pick the good ones."
"Then... give me four!"
—
Chen Xiang stayed in front of the department store for almost an hour.
In addition to the salesperson who would come out to buy, pedestrians who occasionally passed by her stall, smelling the sweet and soft sweet potato aroma in the air, could not help but come closer to inquire about the price.
I didn’t expect it to sell so well in this place.
This was something Chen Xiang had not expected.
It was almost eleven o'clock, so she packed up her things and rode away, this time going directly to the steel factory.
In fact, there are not many sweet potatoes left in the car.
Before leaving, she counted and found that there were only about twenty small sweet potatoes left. It was not worth it for her to go to another place to sell them, but...
Chen Xiang is just purely curious!
She wanted to see what kind of place it was that would make Chen Jie give up the job assigned by the school, spend money to buy connections, and go to work there.
Is it worth selling her sister?
Chen Xiang was pedaling the tricycle, feeling angry and grunting as she rode forward. Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind.
She immediately remembered who Guan Zhen was that Lao Xie had just mentioned.
In his previous life, Zhou Dongmeng made his fortune by contracting projects. Steel is inevitably used in construction sites, so Changling Steel Factory has always been a partner of Zhou Dongmeng's company.
The two companies have been cooperating for decades and the relationship has always been stable.
When she was hospitalized for paralysis, Guan Zhen, the patriarch of Changling Steel Plant, who was over 80 years old, came to the hospital to visit her in person.
Because at that time, Zhou Dongmeng still called her his wife...
Chen Xiang thought of her past life, she suddenly stepped on the brakes, straightened up, looked at the road ahead, slowly narrowed her eyes, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. She had to say that Chen Jie really had a long-term vision!
The steel plant that he would rather sell his sister than not succeeded in getting into has successfully become one of the world's top 100 companies in the next few decades and has cooperated with many large international companies!
If she remembered correctly, Chen Jie seemed to have been the person in charge of South Africa in his previous life.
And that Lin Shiqi married a village beauty and currying favor with his eldest brother to become a city official. With his virtuous wife Yao Weiwei by his side, her cosmetics brand is even more powerful!
Chen Xiang smiled coldly.
It turns out that all those who stepped on her shoulders have a bright and beautiful future.
And what awaits her...
It was a carefully planned car accident!
She ended up lying on the bed, rotting and stinking, until she died with hatred in her heart!
Chen Xiang suppressed the hatred in her heart, and her thick, dark eyelashes drooped slightly, blocking the coldness in her eyes.
In this life, she will never let anyone take advantage of her again!
Chen Xiang exhaled slowly.
Whether it's my second brother Chen Jie or Lin Shiqi...
Every single one counts!
They are all her enemies!
Chen Xiang gritted her teeth, released the brakes, and set off again towards the steel plant. When she arrived near the Heping Village that Lao Xie mentioned, she could already see the steel plant.
In her previous life, she had never been to the county town, let alone seen a steel plant covering such a large area.
As she rode along, she noticed that there were iron fences along the road with warning signs saying "Beware of Electricity" hanging on them. The iron fences were probably several kilometers long from beginning to end...
You can see how big the steel plant is inside!
Chen Xiang exclaimed as she rode hard to the gate of the steel factory. She was completely shocked at just one look.
Even after the 21st century, it is difficult to find such a grand factory.
The wide sliding rail gate can accommodate more than a dozen cars at a time. There are flower beds and towering statues in front of the gate, which is incomparable in grandeur!
Just by looking at the facade, you can tell how high the status and wealth of the owner of Changling Steel Factory is!
Chen Xiang suddenly thought of Zhou Dongmeng.
A smile appeared on her face which was slightly red from being frozen, and she couldn't help but think proudly, he is worthy of being the calm and composed Zhou Dongmeng!
Without any background or capital, you can win together with such a big enterprise with just a smart mind!
Since her man is so powerful, it is even more impossible for her to give up!
Chen Xiang's health bar was filled up again.
Shouting to the people passing by: "Selling roasted sweet potatoes--!"
"Freshly baked and sold, there are only a few left, selling them at a low price, fragrant and sweet——!"
Sweet potatoes are really cheap in the countryside. Just plant a few in front of or behind the house, at the base of the wall or in the corners, and they will fill the entire cellar in a few months.
However, it is different in the county town.
They live in buildings and have no land, so if they want to eat they have to go back to the countryside. But nowadays, city dwellers are everywhere and rich, so who would be willing to go back to the countryside?
So you have to spend money to buy food and drink.
In winter, supplies are even more scarce, and there are only a few snacks that can be bought on the roadside, such as popcorn, candied haws, and fruit leather.
Chen Xiang's shout immediately attracted the attention of the two workers standing across the road.
Someone shouted, "How are the sweet potatoes?"
"Two cents each, three cents for two..." Chen Xiang looked at them, mentioned the price, paused, and said, "There aren't many left."
One of the men was wearing a grey work suit. He had a tall and well-proportioned figure and slightly messy hair.
After listening to this, he took out the cigarette butt from his mouth and threw it on the ground. He raised one foot and pressed it on the butt, twisted it, signaled to the people around him, and walked towards Chen Xiang.
