Gu Nanqiao laughed; she had never seen such a brainless idiot.
With the excitement of drug use on her face, she pointed at Su Wantang and said to everyone, "You see, I was right. This capitalist lady is all about exploitation. She sells a box of whitening cream for only five yuan. I don't know how much dirty money she makes."
After she finished speaking, Su Wantang asked lazily, "Are you done?"
Gu Nanqiao: "..."
"Then it's my turn to speak."
Su Wantang said calmly, "It's true that I'm a capitalist's daughter, but the fact that I'm standing here proves that the organization's investigation into my identity is not problematic. Why is Comrade Gu questioning the country?"
Gu Nanqiao rolled her eyes: "Su Wantang, don't give me that lecture. Others may not know what happened, but I do! You think you're without fault? You're clearly the one ruining other people's relationship—"
Su Wantang retorted calmly, "Whose relationship did I ruin?"
Gu Nanqiao stammered and couldn't say anything.
Her sister said that she had already let go of Huai'an brother, but Gu Nanqiao knew that. Several times, she saw Gu Nanzhi looking at the neighboring courtyard with a sad expression.
Her sister is just that kind of gentle and sensible, swallowing all her grievances.
Seeing that everyone was waiting for her answer, Gu Nanqiao had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "You know the answer yourself."
"I'm not quite sure."
"All I know is that if Comrade Gu can't give a clear answer, then he's spreading rumors."
Su Wantang spoke extremely quickly, giving Gu Nanqiao no chance to interrupt or give her any face.
"Comrade Gu, I know you like Huai'an. On my very first day here, you came to provoke me, saying I wasn't good enough for Huai'an. Unfortunately, I'm sorry to disappoint you, Huai'an and I are doing just fine. You're a good comrade too, so don't try to be a third party. Otherwise, since we're neighbors, to prevent you from going astray, I need to inform Instructor Gu and have him discipline you properly."
"you--"
After hearing a series of words that contained both context and a hidden threat, Gu Nanqiao pointed at Su Wantang and was speechless.
After a while, she stomped her foot, cried out, "You bullied me!" and walked away, covering her face.
That's it?
She's nowhere near as good as her sister, Gu Nanzhi.
As soon as Gu Nanqiao left, Su Wantang continued with the main topic: "Comrades, those of you who have used my whitening cream know its effects. It's made with high-quality ingredients, and since the herbs are expensive, the price is naturally high as well."
"However, I'm here today with good news for everyone. We've developed an upgraded version of our whitening cream, the Jade Face Cream, which can significantly brighten your skin in just one night."
No female soldier doesn't love beauty, and upon hearing this, she instantly became excited.
"Really? Mr. Su, I'm well-educated, don't try to fool me."
"How could that be? You can run away, but you can't hide. Besides, even if I did run away, my husband is still in the army!"
Su Wantang knew that Gu Nanzhi and her sister had ill intentions, so she subtly revealed, "My husband is Deputy Regiment Commander Lu Huai'an."
She wanted to see if these two were really that shameless!
"What?"
A gasp of surprise erupted from below.
Li Jia echoed, "I guarantee this can't possibly be true."
After a moment of sighing, the matter was resolved.
After all, most women think normally. Deputy Regiment Commander Lu is excellent, but he is already married. Instead of focusing on him, they might as well dress themselves up beautifully. Why worry about not being able to find a good partner?
"Mr. Su, is this Jade Face Cream very expensive?"
Su Wantang nodded: "Yes! Fifty yuan a box!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a collective gasp of astonishment rippled through the crowd below.
The words Gu Nanqiao had just said unconsciously popped into their minds, and their gazes toward Su Wantang became filled with suspicion.
Su Wantang remained calm and said gracefully, "You get what you pay for. I guarantee it's worth the price."
She pointed to a dark-skinned man in the corner and said, "Sir, come up here for a moment."
Cao Sheng pointed to himself: "Me?"
The performing arts troupe has both male and female performers. Li Jia is in charge of a group in the song and dance troupe. The song and dance troupe has a high requirement for flexibility, and there are more female performers, so the male performers have always been a very low-key presence in the troupe.
"Yes, it's you."
Li Jia beckoned to Cao Sheng: "Cao Sheng, come up here."
The team leader spoke, and Cao Sheng had no choice but to go on stage, but his heart was inexplicably pounding.
Whitening cream and jade face cream are things women use. Why call him up here?
Soon, Cao Sheng found out.
She smiled and said to Cao Sheng, "Comrade Cao, your complexion is a bit dark. If you don't mind—"
Cao Sheng's heart skipped a beat. He guessed something and raised his voice: "I'm a man!"
"What's wrong with men? When you're out and about, everyone looks at faces first, so you can't be careless."
Cao Sheng was clearly still unsure of what to say and wanted to say something more, but Su Wantang said in a low voice, "Do you know why my man is so popular in the army? It's because he's fair-skinned. Fair skin covers up a lot of flaws. Don't you want your wife to adore you every day?"
Cao Sheng blushed deeply at these words and mumbled, "I don't have a girlfriend yet."
Su Wantang's smile froze.
That was a miscalculation.
The flattery backfired spectacularly.
Just as Su Wantang was about to say something to make amends, Cao Sheng quietly asked, "Will it really be popular?"
Given his dark complexion, he mentioned several potential blind dates, but nothing came of it after the meal.
"Wrapped!"
Cao Sheng frowned and relaxed repeatedly, as if he had gone through a difficult mental journey, before slowly nodding.
Su Wantang pressed her advantage, saying, "I don't make empty promises. We'll see if it works once we use it."
Li Jia immediately noticed and called for water. After Cao Sheng washed his face, he applied the Jade Face Cream.
Su Wantang's whitening cream and jade face cream are made of pure Chinese medicine, which the skin can absorb on its own, so there is no need to wash them off.
After saying this to Cao Sheng, Su Wantang continued to the audience: "Whether it works or not, you'll know tomorrow morning. But I'll give you the good news first: all new products are half price. Here are the coupons. I'll give them to your team leaders. If you think it works, we'll buy it. If it doesn't, just consider this a joke I told you."
Su Wantang spoke wittily and sincerely, and everyone who knew right from wrong responded enthusiastically.
"Then I'll have to see how it goes."
"It works well, so I'll buy some to stock up. Everyone needs to save face sometimes."
...
Hearing this, Su Wantang was in a good mood. She didn't delay Li Jia and the others' training time too much. She talked to Li Jia about some coupons and other trivial matters related to the event before leaving the military base.
Before leaving the army, Su Wantang didn't forget to ask the guards on duty about Gu Nanzhi's recent situation.
Previously, Lu Huai'an had told Su Wantang that the organization had arranged for Gu Nanzhi to be admitted to the military hospital.
There are rumors about this person, but he has absolutely no connection with Lu Huai'an.
Su Wantang was puzzled. Had he given up?
But she always felt it wasn't that simple.
In fact, Su Wantang guessed correctly; Gu Nanzhi's quietness was a sign of trouble.
