"What?" Lai Haoren was clearly quite surprised. At least, his wishful thinking had immediately collapsed.
“That’s right,” Li Lechen continued. “Although there’s plenty of water in the exclusive zone, I don’t have that much time to sell it.”
"I don't have that much time..." Lai Haoren couldn't help but twitch his lips. Li Lechen wasn't saying there were many difficulties, but rather that he didn't have the time, the ability, or even the inclination to sell water.
Water, and Sunshine Coins gushing everywhere, and you say you don't have time?
Seeing Lai Haoren's expression, Li Lechen changed the subject again, saying, "But we can still sell some."
Although he initially thought of taking down Kang Shuaifu in one blow, his hopes were later rejected by Li Lechen, and now that he has some hope again, his expectations have also decreased considerably.
That's right, a behemoth like the Natural Water Company can't be taken down in a minute.
So, Lai Haoren ended his one-on-one chat with Li Lechen and happily went to make a water bottle that would naturally decompose after use.
This kind must be mass-produced, the more the better.
After the connection was lost, Li Lechen realized there was something very important he had forgotten to ask Lai Haoren. That's right, how did Lai Haoren pass his annual physical exams? After all, his status was rather special, wasn't it?
However, there's no rush to do this. At worst, Huo Jiujian's method won't be bad either.
After that day, the price of Class 5 water in the mall indeed increased to 5,000 coins per bottle. Class 4 water remained at 100,000 coins, and Class 3 water at 500,000 coins, with no change in price.
Sales of Class V water, priced at 5,000 coins per bottle, naturally plummeted. Since the number of people who could afford Class IV and Class III water was already limited, the total sales of natural water in the mall dropped to 20,000 bottles on the first day after the price increase, with Class V water sales decreasing even further from over 35,000 bottles to less than 4,000.
As a result, the total turnover did not fluctuate much compared to before.
Kang Shuaifu was very satisfied; this was the price calculated by the intelligent assistant, and it was indeed perfect.
Of course, due to the price increase of Class V water, many people who could occasionally afford to drink Class V water are now forced to drink free recycled water.
Drinking recycled water is indeed a cause of irregular red patches on the skin, something Kang Shuaifu himself said, so naturally everyone remembers it. Although only a little over two million people watched the live stream at the time, with the news of the price increase for Class V water becoming public, the issue of recycled water was no longer a secret.
Therefore, Li Lechen's Vitamin C effervescent tablets became a hot seller again, even surpassing the sales of his water purification pills.
Allicin, extracted from garlic, and vitamin C are not things that can be printed out by simply grabbing some substances from the air. For a time, even if many people wanted to counterfeit them, they did not have the ability to do so.
In addition, 100 to 500 bottles of a certain type of water per day, as a surprise gift when purchasing vitamin C effervescent tablets, are gradually being put on the market.
One day, Mo Longao bought a bottle of Class A water from the exclusive zone for 300,000 yuan at a private shop. Later, he bought another bottle for a surprising price of 100,000 yuan.
It has to be said that even with four or five water purification pills added to the Class III water, the purified water was still not as clean as the Class I water from the exclusive zone. Having drunk the Class I water from the exclusive zone, Mo Longao found it difficult to swallow Kang Shuaifu's natural water.
The weekend arrived in the blink of an eye.
Since neither of his parents were home, Li Lechen did not plan to go back. Luo Li, on the other hand, was training intensively at school to participate in the city's middle school weightlifting competition, so he did not go home for the weekend either.
After Liu Yu transferred schools, his bed was never assigned, so on this weekend morning, only Li Lechen and Luo Li were lazing in bed.
Without Lin Kun's early morning washing and brushing hands, it was already past nine in the morning, but the two were still lying in bed, fast asleep.
"Bang bang bang"
A knock came at the door.
One of the two people on the bed turned over, while the other simply lifted the blanket and covered his head.
"Bang bang bang"
The knocking came again.
Along with the knocking, Huang Yingying's voice came: "Luo Li, Li Lechen, are you there?"
"Not here!"
Luo Li let out a depressed shout.
Huang Yingying was taken aback and asked, "Then who was speaking?"
After asking the question, he knocked on the door three more times.
"Li Lechen!" Luo Li uttered three words.
"Then come down and open the door," Huang Yingying continued, her hands still knocking on the door.
She couldn't just not knock; she had already texted and called them before coming, but they didn't reply to her messages, and one phone was out of service while the other was on Do Not Disturb.
"Bang bang bang"
The knocking intensified.
There's clearly someone inside. Whoever it is, it's just one of the two of them. Would someone die if they opened the door? Huang Yingying thought to herself.
"Li Lechen, open the door. It's me, Huang Yingying," Huang Yingying called out.
Hearing his name called directly, Li Lechen was incredibly annoyed. He finally had a weekend to sleep in, and now he was being disturbed again.
Simply ignore it.
For a moment, Huang Yingying really couldn't do anything about the people inside. It seemed she would have to go to the hospital to see Gu Xiaoman alone today.
Just as I was about to leave, I turned around and bumped into Zhou Mi.
As a top student at the school, Huang Yingying naturally recognized Zhou Mi. Not only did she recognize her, but she also knew that Zhou Mi was related to Li Lechen. Zhou Mi, oblivious to what was going on, knew that the girl in front of her was Li Lechen's former class monitor, but couldn't recall her name.
"You've come to see Li Lechen?"
"Li Lechen isn't in the dorm?"
The two spoke almost in unison.
"I……"
"he……"
The two spoke in unison once again.
Then, at Zhou Mi's prompting, Huang Yingying spoke first: "I called Li Lechen and Luo Li, but no one answered. There are people in the dormitory, but they won't open the door."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Mi stepped forward, past Huang Yingying, and arrived at the door of dormitory 405. Then she carefully felt along the door frame.
Huang Yingying curiously leaned closer to take a look.
Sure enough, Zhou Mi felt a thin thread on the door frame, and then, following the thread, a key was pulled out from the crack in the door.
"This..." Huang Yingying looked surprised.
“That’s how they keep their spare key,” Zhou Mi said frankly.
The "he" they were referring to was clearly Li Lechen. Fortunately, Zhou Mi and Li Lechen were related; otherwise, if she knew something like this, their relationship would indeed be quite unusual.
With the key in hand, the two stopped knocking and, having already exchanged greetings, simply opened the door.
Inside the room, Li Lechen and Luo Li were still asleep, one facing inwards and the other with his head covered.
"plum……"
Zhou Mi was about to call out to Li Lechen, but before she could make a sound, Huang Yingying stopped her with a shushing gesture.
Having finally gotten in, Huang Yingying remembered that he hadn't replied to her messages, couldn't get through on the phone, and wouldn't answer her knocks. Especially the one who had been talking just now—it must have been Luo Li. And he even said she wasn't home! Huang Yingying really wanted to play a prank on him.
Looking around, a water pipe caught Huang Yingying's eye.
Seeing Huang Yingying pick up the water pipe with a mischievous grin, Zhou Mi frowned.
Fortunately, she only went toward Luo Li's bed.
Huang Yingying carried the water pipe and tiptoed onto Luo Li's bed.
