Money can be a powerful motivator. She doesn't mind helping her close relatives when her family becomes successful, but she won't help those who are completely unrelated to her and are obviously trying to take advantage of her.
What's more, she still remembers all the things these people said behind her back to mock her family.
Tang Xiaoxiao refused visitors the reason that the flowers in the greenhouse were delicate and that the temperature and humidity had to be maintained at precise values. As for their dissatisfaction and their accusations that Tang Xiaoxiao was inconsiderate and did not care about the feelings between the villagers, Tang Xiaoxiao said she didn't care.
Tang's parents have not made any statement, and they have consistently claimed that they will not interfere with their child's career.
They showed no mercy to the small group of people with ill intentions who wanted to take advantage of them. "Third brother, your son has made a lot of money running a transport business these past few years, hasn't he? Why don't you share his customer base with everyone?"
"Sister Zhang, everyone says the food at the restaurant your son-in-law runs in the county town is exceptionally good. Why don't you teach my distant nephew? He also wants to open a restaurant, but his cooking skills aren't very good."
"What? No way? You're not willing to teach me, so why should I tell you how to raise my daughter's flowers? How dare you be so shameless."
As for those who came to borrow money, they were simply turned away with the words, "The money was earned by the child himself, we can't make that decision."
After sending away wave after wave of villagers, things finally became a little quieter. However, this was still not enough.
A few days later, Tang Xiaoxiao went directly to the village chief and village party secretary of Houtang Village. After explaining her purpose, the village chief and village party secretary were stunned.
"You said you'd donate 300,000 yuan to repair the road in the village? This...this..." The two were excited and overjoyed, and for a moment they didn't know what to say.
Actually, the towns under City A are not poor, as they are rich in mineral resources and even have several business owners with assets of hundreds of millions. In areas that need to transport mineral resources, people have already funded the construction of wide and smooth roads. However, Hou Tang Village has no mines, so naturally no one cares about it, and it has never been able to apply for road construction funds. As a result, the village chief always feels inferior whenever he goes to meetings.
When Tang Xiaoxiao asked to build a road, it was like a pie falling from the sky. After confirming that Tang Xiaoxiao was serious, the village chief immediately turned on the loudspeaker at the village entrance to call a meeting of all the villagers and tell them the good news.
Now, all those who had been gossiping about the Tang family behind their backs shut up.
Those who had previously criticized Tang Xiaoxiao for refusing to teach them how to make money have changed their minds. Why would someone pass on their money-making skills to you for no reason? Everyone keeps their secrets to themselves.
Saying someone is stingy, earning so much money yet unwilling to lend even a few thousand? Ha, would a stingy person readily donate 300,000 to repair roads in the village?
Moreover, Tang Xiaoxiao also said that the villagers spontaneously participated in the road repair, and they are still being paid the same wages they received for helping her clear the mountain!
Selfish people are a minority; most people know how to be grateful. The Tang family's prestige in Hou Tang Village was unparalleled for a time.
Even Tang's father couldn't help but sigh, feeling ashamed of himself for his daughter's spirit.
He had previously worried that his daughter was too reckless and that being too sharp usually didn't end well. After all, their family's roots were still here, and offending too many people wouldn't do them any good. But now he wasn't worried at all; his daughter was even more outstanding than he had imagined.
Tang Xiaoxiao handed over the money directly to the village and didn't take care of anything else. She only asked that a route be planned in the direction of the land she had contracted. Naturally, the village chief and the village party secretary had no objections.
This move completely resolved the subsequent troubles, and Tang Xiaoxiao felt a great sense of relief.
She actually dislikes socializing. Apart from her closest family members, she doesn't enjoy the gossip and trivialities among relatives and neighbors, preferring to be alone. However, having chosen to return to her hometown, she inevitably has to deal with these interpersonal relationships. Her parents have lived here their whole lives, and there are too many intricate connections that she must maintain.
Especially since Tang's father has some old-fashioned ideas, values face, and cares about how others perceive him. So naturally, she wants to try her best to prevent her father from being negatively affected by her.
Otherwise, if she acts according to her own temperament, she wouldn't care what others think.
With a sigh of relief, Tang Xiaoxiao returned her thoughts to the computer in front of her. In the past few days, she had taken some time to create a shop on Taobao. Today, Tang Xinxin sent her a lot of photos of clothes taken in the shop. She needed to arrange and upload these photos, and also add product descriptions.
She was very good at this program. In her previous life, she had run an online store selling popular snacks, so she was also very skilled at online store design and graphic design.
But now, as she looked through the photos Tang Xinxin had sent, something felt off.
I slapped my forehead—that's it! My sister only photographed flat images of the clothes, not how they would look on a model. For a garment to attract attention and create a desire to buy, tasteful styling and model presentation are both essential.
She muttered to herself how she could have forgotten to mention such an important point, then grabbed her phone and called Tang Xinxin.
After hearing Tang Xiaoxiao's question, Tang Xinxin said directly, "Why don't you come over sometime? You're much more suitable to be my model than those people you pay to hire."
Tang Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, then thought about it carefully and realized that it wasn't impossible.
With her height of 170cm, and thanks to the constant nourishment from the water in her space, she now has a curvaceous figure. Her face, already good to begin with, is further enhanced by good skin and a healthy complexion. Without being modest, she believes she is no less beautiful than those movie stars.
As for showing her face online, she hasn't done anything wrong and isn't afraid of being seen by people, so she doesn't really care.
Well, I already had a ton of things to do, and now this is just another one. Tang Xiaoxiao thought resignedly.
