After parting ways with Tang Mingcheng, Song Qingqing quickly took a car to Huangcheng, their city center.
She asked around, but not many people knew about any beverage wholesale place.
Just as she was about to go ask somewhere else, she overheard two cleaning ladies talking by the roadside.
"I heard there's some kind of event going on in Dongcheng, they're giving away free tote bags, do you want to go check it out?"
What activity?
"They said they were selling water, but we don't understand. What's so great about selling water? We have plenty at home."
"Yes, whose house doesn't have water?"
Two local middle-aged women couldn't understand why there were still people selling water these days.
"Who says otherwise!"
"I also heard that they took out a loan to do it, and the first thing they did was this mineral water."
"..." The two middle-aged women were talking about novel things, and Song Qingqing listened with great interest. After they finished talking, she followed them to the place where water was sold.
This is a very empty street, with about a small truckload of bottled water piled up on the side of the road.
A middle-aged man waved his arms and shouted in a hoarse voice, "Big sale! Big sale! Five yuan a piece!"
But despite his calls, few people came to buy his water; instead, people kept coming to collect the free plastic bags he gave away.
The bags were quickly sold out, but not a single bottle of water was sold.
The contrast is truly stark.
The middle-aged man, perhaps tired of shouting, finally stopped and sat down with a worried expression.
Huang Honghe was a laid-off worker. This year, after seeing reports from abroad about how well bottled water was selling, he got the idea and got together with a friend to start a factory.
But who knew that nobody would buy bottled water here?
The sales results were dismal.
When Song Qingqing arrived, she saw Huang Honghe sitting on a stool with a worried look on his face.
"Uncle, is it that you can't sell your water?" She wanted to have a chat with the other person, but as soon as she opened her mouth, someone started to cause trouble.
Whether they can sell it or not is none of your business.
Are you suggesting you can help them sell them, or are you planning to buy them all yourself?
"Don't they even look at what they're wearing? So poor, yet they dare to come out and embarrass themselves? It's laughable!"
Turning her head, she saw a girl in a pink princess dress holding a parasol, looking at Song Qingqing with disdain.
Behind her followed a middle-aged woman carrying a lot of things; she was clearly a maid.
"I don't need to worry about my own capabilities; you should worry about your own!"
They all look like they're exceeding the limit.
I truly feel sorry for the dress you're wearing.
Actually, this girl isn't fat; it's just that she wore her fitted dress too tightly, making her stomach look noticeably bulging and her waist appear less slim.
Upon hearing this, the girl, Jiang Meimei, immediately flew into a rage, pointed at Song Qingqing's nose, and cursed, "You're the fat one, your whole family is fat."
"Since you don't have eyeballs, I'll just gouge them out for you, so they don't take up space."
As she spoke, she raised her hand and ordered the middle-aged woman behind her, "Go, gouge out her eyes."
I'm going to kick her eyeballs like balls! How dare she call me fat! I'll make her pay!
The older women behind them were speechless. This troublemaking young lady was getting more and more outrageous. They started by telling her to hit people, and now they were telling her to gouge out her eyes.
Does she even know that this is illegal?
"What are you still standing there for? If you don't go, I'll make sure your whole family starves tonight!" Jiang Meimei shouted when she saw the old woman hesitate to make a move.
His arrogant demeanor made the passersby who gathered around shake their heads repeatedly.
"Miss, this is illegal, I can't do it."
"If you do it, you'll go to jail."
The woman hesitated for a moment, but still voiced her concerns.
But she forgot that Jiang Meimei was not someone who would consider others.
All she knew was that she disliked Song Qingqing's face, especially her beautiful eyes, which were truly an eyesore.
"Fine, very well, you won't do it, huh! I'll have the hospital cut off your son's medication right away, and he'll be meeting his maker soon."
I want to see whether your son is more important than yourself.
Jiang Meimei's words successfully ignited the anger of the onlookers.
They started talking all at once, expressing their contempt for Jiang Meimei.
"What a vicious girl! She's forcing that mother and child to their deaths!"
"Exactly! They knew she had a sick son who needed money for treatment, yet they forced her to do something illegal. It's truly despicable."
"Killing someone is just a matter of beheading them, but this girl is so ruthless at such a young age. It's truly an eye-opener for me."
"If my elder sister really does that, does that mean this wicked girl will let her son go?"
"How is that possible? How could such a vicious person be so kind?"
"Big sister, you must not listen to this wicked girl. If you go to jail, your son will definitely be waiting to die."
"We absolutely must not listen to her. Such a vicious girl will get her comeuppance sooner or later."
"God will definitely send down a lightning bolt to kill her."
The conversation got increasingly outrageous, ranging from cursing Jiang Meimei to advising the older woman not to obey her employer's orders.
The woman was caught in a dilemma, but she knew in her heart that everyone was right.
But she can't leave the Jiang family!
If she doesn't listen to the young lady, her son will surely die.
Listening to her means death, ignoring her also means death, what should she do?
The woman was about to cry.
"Shut up! I'm the young lady of Jiang Family Department Store. How dare you talk to me like that?"
Jiang Meimei was furious. These stupid people actually dared to openly call her vicious. It was outrageous!
It was clearly that poor scumbag who insulted her first; she was just retaliating. How is she being considered malicious?
She'll remember their faces, even if they're unreasonable, and then retaliate in kind.
In the crowd, someone swallowed hard before asking in a trembling voice, "The young lady of the Jiang family department stores? The Jiang family that has department stores and supermarkets all over Huangcheng?"
Seeing everyone staring at her with wide eyes and mouths shut in disbelief, Jiang Meimei was extremely proud. "That's right, our Jiang family's businesses are all over Huangcheng, from food to clothing."
"You know what the consequences will be if you offend me?"
She made sure to memorize their faces again, and when she got back, she would have her men start taking action against them one by one.
They dared to call her vicious? Then she'll make them wish they were dead.
Those who offended Miss Jiang deserve to go to hell.
Upon confirmation, the crowd, which had been indignant just moments before, immediately scattered like birds and beasts.
You can't blame them for being so cowardly; you can only blame the Jiang family's immense influence in Huangcheng.
They were all ordinary people; how could they possibly deal with her?
If she holds a grudge, then there's really no way out for me.
