After Xia Bao left, Su Wantang was about to go upstairs when she caught a glimpse of two female soldiers walking in, their arms linked together and wearing winter military uniforms.
On a whim, she took the initiative to greet him.
"Hello, comrades. Do you know Li Jia from the cultural troupe?"
The two, who had been chatting and laughing, suddenly changed their expressions and looked at Su Wantang warily.
"Who are you? Why are you asking about other people's business?"
"I am the owner of this shop, and also Li Jia's cousin-in-law."
It was no secret in the cultural troupe that Li Jia's cousin and his wife ran a pharmacy, and the whitening cream in the store was something that every female soldier loved.
Su Wantang spends little time in the shop, and most of her time there is on the second floor, so few people have seen her.
After hearing Su Wantang's self-introduction, the wariness in their eyes melted away.
Li Sisi, ever the friendly one, said, "So you're the boss? My name is Li Sisi, you can call me Sisi. You're so young! And so amazing! Your skin is so good! Your whitening cream is amazing, after I used it, my boyfriend has been pestering me to see him every day."
"It would be better if the price were a bit lower, but your whitening cream is very effective and worth the price."
Su Wantang was taken aback by Li Sisi's rapid change of expression. After a moment, she replied, "Comrade, whatever you like."
Zhao Mengxuan clearly knew her friend's personality, so she tugged at her sleeve, signaling her not to scare Su Wantang.
He turned to Su Wantang and said, "Boss, don't mind her, Sisi is a bit too outgoing."
"fine."
Su Wantang extended her hand: "Let me introduce myself, I am Su Wantang."
Li Sisi immediately shook hands with him: "I am Li Sisi."
Zhao Mengxuan couldn't bear to look. How could she have forgotten that her friend was someone who judged by appearance?
She followed behind and said, "Zhao Mengxuan."
After a brief introduction, Su Wantang inquired about Li Jia's recent situation.
Zhao Mengxuan looked troubled. Although she had a good first impression of Su Wantang, her team leader's current situation...
She was in a dilemma, while the large strainer next to her started chattering away.
"Wan Tang, our team leader is going through a divorce!"
"Getting a divorce?" Su Wantang was taken aback.
At the same time, my heart couldn't stop sinking.
Before, when Li Jia and Lu Huaidong lived in the compound, the couple had a very good relationship.
Li Jia also had feelings for Lu Huaidong, and now that things had suddenly escalated to the point of divorce, Su Wantang felt that this was a huge problem.
Li Jia, don't be foolish. Don't feel guilty and impulsively get a divorce for her sake.
Even if you argue about it to the ends of the earth, Li Jia doesn't owe her anything. It's all because of her mother-in-law's malicious intentions.
"Yes! It seems to be because of the miscarriage, but I don't know the specifics! However, our team leader, who is also our platoon leader Lu, is unwilling, and the two of them are at an impasse. Every night when we go back to the dormitory and pass by the family compound, we can see a stone statue in the distance."
Su Wantang knew that the platoon leader Lu that Li Sisi mentioned was probably Lu Huaidong. She had heard Lu Huai'an mention it before, saying that his older cousin was now a platoon leader.
"Sisi!" Zhao Mengxuan called out, emphasizing her words.
The boss is a good person, and he's also a relative of Platoon Leader Lu. As soldiers trained by the group leader, they have to side with the group leader.
Li Sisi winked at her in a cute way; she just couldn't hold it in anymore.
She couldn't bear to see the beautiful woman frown.
Unable to do anything about Li Sisi, Zhao Mengxuan said to Su Wantang, "Boss, this is the team leader's private matter, and we shouldn't talk about it. If you really have something you want to say to the team leader, you can go to the military family compound. The team leader has been staying at home recently."
Su Wantang had no intention of hiding her desire to find out information, and she wasn't surprised when Zhao Mengxuan noticed.
She wasn't angry with Zhao Mengxuan for being rejected. She could tell that Zhao Mengxuan was more composed than Li Sisi. It wasn't that she was targeting Zhao Mengxuan, but that was just her personality.
"Okay." Su Wantang said gratefully, "This is a new whitening cream developed by the store. I'll give each of you one. Thank you for telling me all this."
Both refused simultaneously: "No way, we'll buy it no matter the price."
“This isn’t cheap, it costs fifty yuan,” Su Wantang teased the two of them.
"What?" The two women's eyes widened instantly. It wasn't that they couldn't afford the money, but they just felt it wasn't worth it.
For example, even though a piece of fruit costs only one yuan and is very expensive, they will grit their teeth and buy it just to try something new.
But this fifty yuan isn't a question of whether it's expensive or not. Even if it's incredibly effective, they're not going to spend most of their salary on it. If they did, how would they survive? Wouldn't that make them look like complete idiots?
The two of them said in unison, "Then...we won't buy it."
His tone still betrayed a lingering surprise.
Su Wantang was amused by their honesty.
"Alright, I'm not kidding you anymore. This is a new product, and it's much more effective than the previous one. I haven't decided on a price yet. You guys can take it and try it out; it'll be good publicity for me."
Fearing they wouldn't accept it, Su Wantang added, "This isn't exactly free, since I didn't give you any promotional fees."
With that said, Li Sisi and Zhao Mengxuan found it difficult to refuse.
They bought the new ointment and then gritted their teeth and spent money on three bottles of whitening cream, which cost five yuan each. Originally, the two of them had planned to buy one bottle.
But Su Wantang felt indebted to them, and they couldn't let Su Wantang not make money.
Su Wantang had no idea that the two were thinking this way. Seeing that they had bought a lot, she was planning to give them some as a gift, but then she thought of their attitude just now and gave them a 20% discount instead.
The two left happily.
After they left, Su Wantang picked up the phone, told Lu Huai'an, and then left the pharmacy.
