Chapter 167 The Little Rich Woman



Fang Ke has simply found his perfect mouth double!

Seeing that Qiao Qiqi had finally spoken the words she had kept in her heart for so many years, she excitedly grabbed Qiao Qiqi's hand and couldn't help but say, "Mom, what Qiqi said is exactly what I think! That's exactly what I think!"

“When I was younger, I did consider marrying a decent man as you suggested. But ever since my aunt got divorced, and since I started working, I’ve seen so many of my colleagues whose edges have been worn down and whose passions have been extinguished by life. Every day is about men, children, and family, and especially when they don’t receive any care or understanding, I’m really afraid that I will end up like them and follow their path…”

"I'm afraid I won't be as lucky as you, and that I won't meet someone who truly loves me. If I end up like my aunt, marrying the wrong person, I'd rather not get married!"

At this moment, Fang's mother finally understood her daughter's thoughts.

Realizing that she had indeed been too hasty, she finally let go of her deep-seated obsession and compromised, saying, "Okay, I won't rush you anymore, alright?"

Fang Ke was immediately moved, "Mom, I knew you were the best to me!"

She couldn't help but jump up, rush to Fang's mother, and give her a big hug.

Seeing that she was almost 30 but still acting like a little girl, Fang's mother looked helpless. "Oh dear! How old are you? What will it look like if outsiders saw you like this!"

"So what if you saw it? It's no big deal. Anyway, I'll always be your little darling!" Fang Ke clung to her mother's arms, refusing to leave, and continued to act spoiled.

This scene suddenly reminded Qiao Qiqi of her mother in the 21st century.

The thought that she could no longer snuggle in her mother's arms made her feel a little down.

That evening, Fang Jingru went home because she had work to do the next day.

After taking a shower, Qiao Qiqi lay in bed, thinking about how to deliver the 300 jin of fruit tomorrow...

If you carry it back and forth, it will take 5 trips. The advantage is safety. If you deliver it all at once, you definitely can't do it yourself. If you hire someone, it's actually not safe if you encounter bad people.

After much thought, Qiao Qiqi decided that it would be safest to deliver the goods herself, trip by trip.

Having made up her mind, she closed her eyes and went to sleep.

The next morning, after the Fang family left, she went to the black market first. She came here mainly to exchange for some tickets that could be used nationwide. Although she had money now, she had too few tickets. If she wanted to spend money through legitimate channels, she needed tickets.

Although the amount exchanged each day is not much, every little bit helps, and it's better than nothing.

After selling a basket of apples, Qiao Qiqi hurriedly went to the grocery store to deliver the goods.

The boss didn't say much about her delivering in multiple batches, perhaps knowing that what she was doing was shady and that the large quantity might attract attention. Anyway, he was just weighing the items a few more times, which wasn't a big deal.

In the end, Qiao Qiqi delivered a total of 312 jin (156 catties) in five trips, earning 187.2 yuan, with the change still rounded down.

After the owner paid 187 yuan, he said, "The grapes and peaches will be delivered as usual this afternoon. Let's deliver 50 jin of each for now."

Peaches and grapes are not resistant to handling and do not keep well. It is best to deliver them once a day, otherwise they will spoil the next day, so you can't order too many.

Qiao Qiqi expressed her understanding, secretly gave the driver 4 yuan, and then left.

With more than an hour to go before noon, she planned to take a walk around the neighborhood to see if she could help Chenchen and Xinxin find their families.

Because of limited time, Qiao Qiqi didn't dare go too far and only dared to wander around the Fang family's neighborhood.

One trip in the morning and one trip in the afternoon.

Two days have passed, and we haven't seen a single clue about what Chenchen mentioned.

Then, Qiao Qiqi felt that running around in the morning and afternoon was too exhausting, so she simply told the boss that all the fruit would be delivered in the morning, so that she could go out and wander around in the afternoon. Because she had more time, she could run a little further.

“I was going to bring it up anyway. Grapes and peaches delivered in the afternoon will only sell for an afternoon, so it’s better to deliver them in the morning. So starting tomorrow, you should deliver everything in the morning!” the boss said.

The two hit it off immediately, and starting from the third day, Qiao Qiqi changed her routine to delivering 100 jin of apples, 100 jin of pears, 50 jin of peaches, and 50 jin of grapes every morning, which totaled 230 yuan. After deducting the 2 yuan commission for the driver, she made a net profit of 228 yuan per day from deliveries.

In addition, I would sell some on the black market, and occasionally when I went out for a stroll in the afternoon...

And of course, the driver also helped.

Inspired by Qiao Qiqi's previous experience, the driver helped her expand her sales channels again. However, in order to earn the price difference, the driver always got the goods directly from Qiao Qiqi and delivered them to the buyers himself. Therefore, Qiao Qiqi did not know where he sold the goods.

Since it was all about making money anyway, Qiao Qiqi didn't care and gave him the price of 58 cents, deducting the referral fee from the price.

The driver initially weighed 50 jin (25 catties) in the first two days, but now he weighs 150 jin (75 catties).

In any case, Qiao Qiqi earned 1,522 yuan in a week.

Adding what she had earned before, she now had a total of 2,300 yuan.

In this day and age, that's definitely a huge sum of money.

Qiao Qiqi was somewhat happy, but she also knew that this was just the beginning and wouldn't last long, since she would be going back to Beijing in another week.

The only regret was that she searched for a week but couldn't find Chenchen's relatives.

Beijing is just too big; she couldn't possibly run all of it on foot.

"What? You can't deliver tomorrow or the day after?" The fruit vendor frowned when he heard Qiao Qiqi say that she couldn't deliver on Saturday and Sunday.

"Saturdays and Sundays are the peak sales season, how can you not deliver? I was going to tell you that I'd deliver extra the day after tomorrow, but you have to deliver!"

Qiao Qiqi was also in a dilemma! The Fang family members were all resting at home on Saturdays and Sundays, so she couldn't go out casually and had to suspend deliveries.

She thought for a moment and then said simply, "I really have something to do this weekend and can't come. How about this, I'll come and deliver a day's worth of supplies this afternoon, but that's all I can deliver. I promise I'll deliver the goods to you on time on Monday."

Although the boss was still very unhappy, he knew that if something hadn't happened, the other party wouldn't have given up a chance to make money.

Moreover, he wasn't solely focused on acquiring Qiao Qiqi this week. He had also secretly inquired through various channels to see if he could find a source like Qiao Qiqi that was both high-quality and inexpensive. However, after asking around for a whole week, he couldn't find any anywhere.

Therefore, he can only continue to keep an eye on Qiao Qiqi, this cash cow.

The money tree is now going to back out!

The boss was crying, but he could only endure it. "Fine, then deliver the goods tomorrow afternoon, at three o'clock."

"Okay!"
