Back to the 1970s: Building My Fortune Through Time Trading-Chapter 284: Dividing the Goods

Taking advantage of some free time, Su Xiaoxiao found a quiet corner to open the game interface. As soon as she opened it, she saw the giant roulette wheel in the center of the screen.

Did the roulette reward trigger again?

Looking carefully, it turned out to be the upgrade reward from last night.

Based on past experience, even the weirdest things on this wheel turn out to be useful. Like that high school exam review material she found a bit pointless, recently it’s been selling out in the market, with people occasionally asking her to order it.

Since it’s still working hours, she didn’t have time to look closely, and planned in her heart to have a good spin at it when she got home.

As she was about to exit after closing the game interface, she noticed frozen taro sweet potato balls on sale in the mall.

This stuff costs a lot of oil to fry, but it’s really delicious, suitable for all ages.

With this in mind, she decisively ordered several packs. Normally priced over eight yuan per pack, because of nearing expiration, they’re now only five yuan each, incredibly cheap.

Unfortunately, without a fridge, she couldn’t buy too many.

She calculated the number at home and ordered five packs. Each pack only contains twelve balls, with so many people at home, getting fewer wouldn’t be enough to share.

She can fry them in advance, and tomorrow morning she can let Sister Zhang and Qin Shuang have a taste.

Seeing that it wouldn’t be long before getting off work, she hurriedly placed an order for five packs.

After ordering, she happily carried back a big bag of things given by Director Li to the counter.

When Zhang Yulan saw her return carrying such a huge pile of stuff, her eyes almost popped out.

"Xiaoxiao, what did you buy? Why did you buy so much?"

Qin Shuang also looked over curiously.

Su Xiaoxiao found a place to put things down, smiled at the two looking over: "Sister Zhang, these are all given to me by the detergent factory. Once we finish work, stay a bit longer and I’ll share some with you. There’s too much for me to use alone."

Zhang Yulan quickly shook her head: "No way, I already feel bad taking advantage of you every day."

Qin Shuang also immediately chimed in: "Right, we can’t always take advantage, we haven’t even repaid for the watch favor."

Sparing them thirty yuan all at once, that favor couldn’t be repaid with just a meal.

"Look at you two, are you not treating me as a friend anymore? Always being so polite, I’ll really get angry."

Su Xiaoxiao pretended to be annoyed as she spoke.

"Remember, after work, don’t you dare leave."

Just as a customer arrived, Su Xiaoxiao hurried to attend to them.

The two of them couldn’t continue to refuse, thinking to themselves, maybe just treat Su Xiaoxiao to a week’s worth of meals instead.

In half a month, the city’s general union will hold a gala. Their performance is almost fully rehearsed, so they don’t need to practice every day, just familiarize themselves every Friday evening after an early end from work.

Today is Tuesday, no rehearsals needed.

Once the work was done, they could get off directly.

Su Xiaoxiao felt the time was about right, rubbed her sore feet from standing, thinking, standing like this every day, why hasn’t she lost any weight? Instead, her calves seem to be getting thicker.

Seeing everyone was busy preparing to leave, she picked up the large bag of cleaning supplies and quietly called Zhang Yulan and Qin Shuang: "Sister Zhang, Shuangshuang, let’s go to the employee lounge."

Though the two felt a bit embarrassed, upon being addressed directly like this, they didn’t feel right to be fussy, so they quickly followed.

Most sales assistants were busy heading home, leaving the lounge almost empty.

Su Xiaoxiao found an empty table and opened the big bag of items.

Inside were the latest anti-hair loss shampoos, various functional shampoo powders, different scented soaps, a few packs of laundry detergent, and so on—basically every kind of cleaning product available on the market.

Zhang Yulan was wide-eyed: "Oh my, the detergent factory is so generous, this pile must be worth a lot! Unlike our department store, always stingy with their distributions."

Qin Shuang, although coming from a well-off family, was a bit surprised at seeing so much stuff.

Su Xiaoxiao pushed the items toward them: "Sister Zhang, Shuangshuang, don’t be polite with me, pick a couple for yourselves."

She didn’t mind, since these were all readily available in her store anyway, perfect for maintaining good relationships.

"This... really, Xiaoxiao, how about you pick first, then we’ll take what’s left."

Zhang Yulan quickly waved her hand.

They couldn’t bring themselves to pick first; getting the leftovers would already be great.

"See, being polite with me again? Are you not considering me one of your own?"

Su Xiaoxiao feigned anger.

With no choice, the pair reluctantly picked two items each in a symbolic gesture.

Su Xiaoxiao noticed that they both picked the cheaper items, clearly out of embarrassment.

She was never stingy with friends, so she immediately took two bottles of the latest shampoo, tucking one under each of their arms: "I have more at home, can’t use them all, take these."

"Xiaoxiao, this is too much."

Qin Shuang’s face turned red, as Su Xiaoxiao was being so generous, how could she accept so much?

Zhang Yulan’s face also reddened: "Indeed, they’re too valuable."

Just as they were about to put them down, Su Xiaoxiao quickly packed the rest: "Okay, stop being polite, or I’ll get mad."

Suddenly, she noticed Chen Meilan passing by the doorway, and hurriedly called out to her.

"Hey, Director Chen, don’t leave yet, I can’t use all these, come pick a couple too."

Chen Meilan had always been nice to her, so Su Xiaoxiao felt she ought to show her some appreciation.

"Is there a share for me too?"

Not expecting Su Xiaoxiao to think of her, Chen Meilan bashfully waved her hand, "I appreciate the thought, but Director Li gave these to you, I shouldn’t take any."

Before she finished speaking, Su Xiaoxiao directly handed her a bottle of the latest shampoo and a soap: "Director Chen, just take these, as long as you don’t mind."

Chen Meilan looked down and was amazed; the shampoo and soap were hot items from the First Detergent Factory, hard to get outside.

Even their department store had been trying to discuss cooperation without success.

No way around it, too popular, all the department stores in big cities have scooped them up, leaving none for small places like theirs.

"Then I won’t be polite, thank you, Xiao Su."

Unable to refuse, Chen Meilan had to accept them. Just as she glanced up, she saw Manager Liu walking over with his hands behind his back.

Hurriedly, she put the shampoo and soap into her army green satchel, smiling as she greeted: "Manager Liu, you finished for the day?"

Manager Liu nodded at her, his gaze seemingly skipping over Su Xiaoxiao intentionally.

Thinking to himself, since those three had gotten something, she should at least gesture a share to him too.

Facing Manager Liu’s eager look, Su Xiaoxiao pretended not to notice, waved at the group: "See you tomorrow, I’m heading out first."

With that, she walked past Manager Liu carrying the goods, not even glancing his way.

Manager Liu was immediately anxious, calling out: "Comrade Su."
