Back to the 1970s: Building My Fortune Through Time Trading-Chapter 357: When Did She Get the Heartthrob Script?
"No need, I trust you guys."
Hearing Su Xiaoxiao say this, the two of them felt even more ashamed.
A young girl who’s just become an adult, look at her courage.
Then look at the two of them... They counted the money three entire times, even dampened it with spit to smooth out every wrinkle, as if they hadn’t seen money for eight generations.
Especially Zhou Jian, who even started suspecting Su Xiaoxiao was a swindler.
Their expressions were quite complex, toes embarrassedly digging into their shoe soles, wishing time could reverse, go back to just moments ago, and give their unsatisfied selves a big slap.
Su Xiaoxiao didn’t notice their unusual behavior, realizing it was getting late, she quickly urged, "Thanks, brothers, hurry back to your work. I’ll wait here for my friend."
The two of them felt pardoned, hurriedly said, "Alright, alright, then Comrade Su, we’re off. Next time we’ll bring you some big crabs."
After bidding farewell to Su Xiaoxiao, they quickly left.
Once they left, Su Xiaoxiao cautiously surveyed the area, and not seeing anyone, promptly stored the items into the small warehouse space, and listed them for sale on the marketplace.
Big news! Premium wild sea cucumbers, forty to fifty heads, special price eight thousand per pound, limited hundred pounds!
She’s planning to keep the remaining eight pounds for her family to boost their health.
Especially her mom, who really needs the nourishment.
When she gave birth to several children, no one attended to her postpartum recovery, Liu Cuilan went straight to work even before her recovery period ended. Her health has never been good over the years, she gets sick every change of season. Her previous act of looking sickly wasn’t entirely fake.
Eight thousand per pound, this hundred pounds totals eighty thousand. Su Xiaoxiao’s hands shook a bit when posting the listing.
In her modern life, whether at work or later doing live streams, she never made much money, barely scraping by on the edge of subsistence.
Thinking about her previous three thousand monthly salary at work, Su Xiaoxiao mentally calculated, this eighty thousand would take her over twenty years without spending a penny...
Could this price be a little too high?
Though she recalled the premium wild sea cucumbers weren’t priced much differently.
Just as she was pondering this, a ding sounded from the marketplace message box.
The diamond bachelor, who sells pork, ordered thirty pounds.
Su Xiaoxiao was stunned for half a second before realizing it was the bald brother who changed his nickname.
Thirty pounds, that’s twenty-four thousand...
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the string of zeros following the twenty-four, feeling her breath almost stop.
This brother spent twenty-four thousand in one go, definitely a wealthy man!
A ding sounded again, the bald brother sent her a private message.
"Diamond bachelor, who sells pork: "Sis? How’s it? Am I generous or what?"
"Diamond bachelor, who sells pork: "But your sea cucumbers really look good in the photos, they’re real, right?"
Su Xiaoxiao immediately typed a reply.
"Chased by the God of Wealth" : "Thanks, bro. These sea cucumbers are definitely wild. The photos are real, and I’ll give you an extra half pound."
"Diamond bachelor, who sells pork: "My sis is so generous. Do you like pig kidneys and pig tails? I’ll send you twenty pounds tomorrow."
Su Xiaoxiao was flattered; originally sending half a pound was to thank the bald brother for the pig blood and bones he gifted her, but didn’t expect him to reciprocate, making her feel even more embarrassed.
"Chased by the God of Wealth" : "I do, thank you, bro."
"Diamond bachelor, who sells pork: "No need to be polite, I’ve got plenty of this stuff. It’s not as valuable as your sea cucumbers, if you like them I’ll keep sending them."
After some warm exchanges, Su Xiaoxiao, seeing it’s getting late, quickly logged off since she hadn’t had the chance to eat lunch due to handling the sea cucumbers.
She hurriedly headed to the canteen, and as soon as she entered, she saw Zhang Yulan and Qin Shuang sitting near the entrance waving at her.
"Xiaoxiao, come quickly, the food’s getting cold."
"Did your friend leave?"
When heading out earlier, Su Xiaoxiao’s excuse was a friend coming to visit her.
"Yeah, they left. Thanks for getting the food for me."
Su Xiaoxiao casually said, sitting across from them.
As soon as she sat down, a lunch box appeared in front of her.
She looked up to see a young girl smiling warmly at her: "Comrade Su, hello, I’m Chen Xiaoju from the stationery counter. Here’s some food for you."
Su Xiaoxiao glanced at it, a lunchbox full of potato stew and meat.
Before she could say anything, another hand placed two big red apples on the table: "Comrade Su, eat these apples. I’m Chen Juanjuan from the hardware counter."
"Comrade Su, here’s some snacks for you, I’m Liu Xiaoqin from the toiletries counter."
Her hand was quickly filled with a wax paper bundle.
"Comrade Su..."
Many people came by one after another, enthusiastically handing her things.
This left Su Xiaoxiao bewildered. What’s going on? When did she get the script for being the center of attention?
While she was perplexed, Zhang Yulan looked displeased: "Can we eat now? Why were you guys never this enthusiastic before? And now you’re all fine with this? Where were you earlier? Go on, take your stuff back, Xiaoxiao doesn’t need your food."
Su Xiaoxiao then realized, quickly motioning, "Thanks for everyone’s goodwill, I appreciate it, but I won’t take the things."
Seeing her gentle demeanor, most of the discomfort from Zhang Yulan’s rebuke faded.
One by one, they greeted Su Xiaoxiao before leaving with their items.
Once everyone was gone, Su Xiaoxiao curiously asked Zhang Yulan, "Sister Zhang, what was that all about?"
"What do you think? They see you are about to become an official, so they’re sucking up to you."
Zhang Yulan snorted, "Normally you don’t see them being this warm, but now they’re eager to curry favor. They’re fair-weather friends."
After speaking, she pushed the lunch box towards Su Xiaoxiao, "Eat and ignore them. They’re all bootlickers of Liu Changjiang, talking bad behind your back before. Now they see Liu Changjiang’s downfall, they’re afraid of getting implicated, each scrambling to suck up to you, disgusting."
Zhang Yulan was never known for a good temper, but she doesn’t care for gossiping about others behind their backs either. These people were just too repulsive, she needed to remind Su Xiaoxiao not to be deceived by them.
Only then did Su Xiaoxiao get it, no wonder Zhang Yulan was so upset.
Qin Shuang pulled two bananas from her bag, handing one to Zhang Yulan: "Sister Zhang, don’t be angry, here, have a banana."
Then she handed the other to Su Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao, have a banana."
Qin Shuang’s way of easing the mood greatly helped Zhang Yulan relax, she just couldn’t stand those people, constantly scheming at work, always thinking of currying favor.
She disdained doing such things.
After this little incident, Su Xiaoxiao’s mood remained unaffected, mainly because she was really hungry.
After eating, the three of them headed back together, and just as they reached the door, Su Xiaoxiao heard a familiar voice calling her from behind.
