Reborn in the 80s: Everyone Falls For Me-Chapter 260 - 259: Tracking (4 more)
Chapter 260: Chapter 259: Tracking (4 more)
Seeing the densely packed lines of text, she instinctively read it aloud.
"Hello, beautiful girl, I like you, I liked you the first time I met you, your sweet smile is something I’ll never forget in my life, you may never know how beautiful you are in my eyes."
"Ah, beautiful girl, your smile is like a lovely morning glory, showing off two rows of pretty teeth. I counted them, twenty-eight in total; your teeth are so white they sparkle, each one of them shining brightly. Your eyes are big and round, as black as they are white, and your eyelashes are long, curly, and thick. Ah, you are so charming, that’s why I fell for you at first sight. My name is Jin Ruiyang, would you like to date me?"
Xu Niannian twitched the corners of her mouth as she finished reading. Was this person sick?
Was he deliberately trying to disgust her?
Even saying her smile was like a morning glory. He’s the one who’s like a morning glory, his whole family’s smiles are like morning glories.
And what’s with the smiling and showing off twenty-eight teeth, each one shining? Not to mention whether or not they actually sparkle, who the hell shows off their molars when they smile, both rows at that.
And each one shining, with eyes so big and round and black and white. Is she a monster?
Xu Niannian was utterly disgusted.
She felt this person did it on purpose, specifically to nauseate her.
Now he’s a swindler conning people, and then writes such revolting things to her.
And he likes her, pah, he’s probably some pervert.
Definitely toying with her, despite having such a handsome face.
Xu Niannian was so angry she trembled all over and, full of fury, rushed to Jin Yu’s hospital room. Thinking of Jin Yu’s volatile temper, she eventually held back and didn’t tell him.
As for that bunch of rapeseed flowers, she threw them in the trash, and that inexplicable letter was torn to shreds by her.
Struggling to calm the agitation inside her, Xu Niannian finally pushed open the door of the hospital room and walked in.
When Jin Yu saw Xu Niannian coming, he opened his arms with practiced ease: "Come here."
Xu Niannian was in a bad mood.
She felt insulted by someone.
So, ignoring Jin Yu’s words, she walked over in two steps and plopped down on a chair.
Jin Yu could clearly sense that Xu Niannian was in a bad mood and thought she had been bullied.
"What happened?" Jin Yu’s brow furrowed: "Who bullied you?"
"No one," Xu Niannian quickly replied, her reaction exceptionally swift.
Jin Yu’s frown deepened even more.
Unable to withstand Jin Yu’s intense gaze, Xu Niannian blurted out casually: "It’s nothing, I just ran into a weirdo, you don’t need to worry about it, he didn’t manage to bully me."
Xu Niannian finally caught her breath.
"Let’s not talk about him anymore. How’s your wound? When can you be discharged?"
Seeing that she did not seem to be distressed, Jin Yu did not continue to pry, following her lead and shifting the topic.
"The doctor said it will take another week."
"That’s good," Xu Niannian urged him to heal well since she needed to leave.
She couldn’t stay with him too long during the day.
Li Qingshui had given feedback. After listening to Xu Niannian’s suggestions, she sent people to assist with sales.
With these people’s help and because Xu Niannian’s Liuyue Su was indeed a hot commodity, a store sold out of Liuyue Su on the first morning.
This store was the one Li Qingshui had negotiated with after much persuasion.
They had only taken 30 pieces of Liuyue Su, paying in advance, not like those stores that were offered free trials later on.
This was because the town’s foot traffic didn’t compare to the county’s, and indeed their spending power was lower, with many people reluctant to pay the price.
The small shop owner was overjoyed, 30 pieces of Liuyue Su, a profit of one dime each, and she made three yuan that morning.
In the middle, she didn’t have to do anything, just put the goods out and sell them when people came to buy.
Three yuan was a significant amount.
The wages of workers in the town couldn’t compare with those in the county, averaging twenty yuan a month, and she had earned three yuan in one morning, even when there wasn’t enough stock.
The owner was ecstatic and immediately took the sales assistant sent by Li Qingshui aside, saying she wanted to order 200 more.
Apart from her shop, two other shops that had paid in advance also sold out one after another.
All were sold out within a day.
Both stores also requested to increase their orders, one asking for 300 pieces, and another, even more exaggeratedly, straightaway wanted 500 pieces.
Besides these three, there were six other stores that had the goods on consignment without payment up front, to sell on trial.
These shops were specifically picked out by Li Qingshui, each one being the best located in the town.
These few shops sold out even faster, not even three hours had passed, and the 100 Liuyue Su they tried selling were sold out directly.
These shops, feeling that the products were easy to sell and had a long shelf life, started off with orders of five to six hundred units, truly beginning with flying colors.
The assistants sent for sales support only needed to go on the first day to teach others how to sell in the easiest way; they did not need to go on the second day.
When these people returned that day and reported to Li Qingshui how much each shop wanted, Li Qingshui was so happy she couldn’t close her mouth.
Adding up the amount required by each shop, there was a total of 4,300 Liuyue Sus. Seeing this number, Li Qingshui was overjoyed.
She felt more and more that following Xu Niannian’s arrangement was absolutely correct,
and sure enough, she was about to make money soon. Indeed, none of those try-selling shops were unwilling to pay up.
Not only were they not deceitful, but they were even afraid that Li Qingshui would stop supplying them. They asked the auxiliary sales staff to tell Li Qingshui to go and collect the payment for the next batch of goods.
Li Qingshui was eager to share this news with Xu Niannian.
Coincidentally, Xu Niannian was coming to find out about the situation.
She went directly to Li Qingshui’s store, and when Li Qingshui saw her, she immediately told Xu Niannian about it.
To be honest, when Xu Niannian saw the quantity ordered, she was quite shocked.
4,300 units, that’s a lot.
It seemed she had underestimated people’s eagerness to seize the opportunity to make money.
She had thought that most people in this era would be conservative.
It turned out it was she who had been off the mark.
But on second thought, it was right; they had already been conservative.
Being conservative meant that the first time Li Qingshui went to talk to them, they didn’t dare to take the order.
Once they saw for themselves that the product sold well and they could make money, why would they wait any longer?
With such a large order all at once, Xu Niannian was a bit worried.
Li Qingshui, on the other hand, gave Xu Niannian the money for 4,300 Liuyue Sus straight away.
Xu Niannian was earning twenty cents per piece, totaling 860 yuan.
Adding the money earned from the restaurant and the previous Liuyue Su profits, Xu Niannian now had more than 6,000 yuan in hand.
In the 1980s, this was considered a very wealthy existence.
After all, at that time, there were probably only a dozen or so households with ten thousand yuan in a county town.
Smaller county towns might not even have that many.
Xu Niannian suddenly felt that she was about to swell with pride.
She quickly thought of other things to keep her ego in check, like thinking about splitting half of the profits with Jin Yu.
But as soon as she thought about it, Xu Niannian found herself drifting off again. She and Jin Yu were going to get their marriage certificate soon, and by then, not only would Jin Yu’s money be her money, but even he himself would belong to her.
This era was too profitable, Xu Niannian felt she was about to cry tears of joy.
No, no, she must keep her composure.
Finally calming herself down, Xu Niannian told Li Qingshui that it would take at least three days before she could have the 4,300 Liuyue Sus.
Because she still had to accompany Jin Yu to the hospital these next few days.
Even though Jin Yu would be fine alone in the hospital, she could not neglect him for the sake of making money.
Thinking from another angle, if she were the one injured and lying in the hospital, and Jin Yu went out to make money, she might blacklist him in minutes and refuse any contact.
So she could not neglect Jin Yu just to make money either.
Although Li Qingshui was slightly disappointed, she also understood.
Not only did she understand, but she also comforted Xu Niannian not to rush.
After receiving the payment, Xu Niannian made another trip to the hospital.
This time Xu Niannian encountered Jin Ruiyang again, holding a bunch of bellflowers. Xu Niannian was fuming, snatched the bellflowers from him, threw them on Jin Ruiyang, and then ran towards Jin Yu’s ward.
After bursting into the room, she complained angrily to Jin Yu, "Jin Yu, there’s a pervert in the hospital stalking me; you should have Brother Huzi help me get him arrested, or we could call the police."
"What? A pervert is stalking you?" Jin Yu, upon hearing that a pervert was stalking Xu Niannian, became alert and sat up with agitation, "Where is he? I’ll take a look."
He was still wounded, so Xu Niannian naturally wouldn’t let him go. She pressed down on his shoulder, "You don’t need to go; having Brother Huzi come down with me will suffice."
Xu Niannian was extremely angry, "Can you believe this guy? He’s so good-looking, and he could do anything else, yet he chooses to be a pervert. Oh right, he even shares the same surname as you."
Jin Yu, "Hmm?" An impossible answer flashed through his mind.
Thinking Jin Yu was curious, Xu Niannian confessed to him, "He wrote me insulting letters, signed ’Jin Ruiyang.’"
