CHAPTER 35: CHAPTER 35: SELLING STAINLESS STEEL CUPS

"Hey lady, your water bottle is crushing my stuff."

Su Xiaoxiao very politely said to the lady.

She was a middle-aged woman in her thirties, sporting ear-length short hair, plain-looking, but her eyes looked sharp and unfriendly.

"What’s lady? Do I look that old?"

Liu Fang said, glaring at Su Xiaoxiao, rolling her eyes, and leaning back in her chair to rest.

Su Xiaoxiao, still good-naturedly repeated, "Comrade, your water bottle is crushing my stuff."

Liu Fang opened her eyes and glanced at her, "Just a ragged sack, my precious stainless steel water bottle on your sack is your honor."

The elderly lady next to them glanced over, noticing the stainless steel water bottle on the table, and looked envious, "Comrade, is it hard to buy this water bottle?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Fang arrogantly raised her chin, "Indeed, my partner got someone to bring it back from Shanghai, small places can’t get it."

Su Xiaoxiao thought to herself: Truth be told, she has fifty of the same thing in her space.

Liu Fang saw her staring at the water bottle and became more complacent, "Never seen it before, have you? Looking at your outfit, you’re clearly from a small place."

While she spoke, she gracefully lifted the stainless steel water bottle, opened it to demonstrate, "See this? Unlike those cheap enamel mugs, the tea stains don’t rinse out. This cup rinses clean with just one wash."

The elderly lady glanced enviously, "This cup isn’t cheap, is it?"

"Indeed, it’s eight bucks each, and you can’t just buy one even if you have the money."

Upon hearing this, the passengers around cast envious glances at Liu Fang.

Liu Fang grew more proud, tapping the water bottle, "Listen to this crisp sound, it won’t break even if it falls, unlike cheap enamel mugs that chip easily."

"Can your partner still get more stainless steel water bottles? My wife has wanted one for ages, tried asking multiple times but couldn’t get it."

The middle-aged man sitting next to her couldn’t help but ask.

Liu Fang snorted, "You think it’s easy to buy? My partner had to pull a lot of strings to get it."

The middle-aged man looked a bit disappointed, but suddenly heard a clear voice, "Brother, are you looking to buy a stainless steel water bottle?"

The man puzzledly looked at the young girl opposite him, "Comrade, you have a way?"

Su Xiaoxiao was about to respond when a derisive voice came from the side, "Her? Looking so shabby, how could she possibly have the ability?"

The man glanced at Su Xiaoxiao instinctively, her patched clothes and shoes worn down to the toes, considering possibly lacking the ability.

"Who said I don’t? Just a stainless steel water bottle, and I have one right here."

Su Xiaoxiao said, reaching into her bag, but actually taking a stainless steel water bottle from her mall backpack.

The people around initially didn’t believe her, but she actually took one out on the spot.

Liu Fang nearly dropped the stainless steel cup in her hand, "How’s that even possible? This cup is so hard to buy, how do you have one?"

As she spoke, she looked knowingly at Su Xiaoxiao, "You didn’t steal it, did you?"

Su Xiaoxiao: "..."

This woman is like a maggot in sauce, just talking nonsense.

Facing such a person, Su Xiaoxiao decided to prove her strength.

She feigned shock, "This needs stealing? My cousin works at a metal products factory, everyone in my family basically has one."

"Everyone has one? No way, be realistic when bragging."

Liu Fang rolled her eyes, looking unconvinced.

"I see you only have this one cup, surely there aren’t any more?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Xiaoxiao spoke with a face of annoyance, "Oh right, I also brought one for someone else, hold on."

She calmly pulled out a second stainless steel water bottle from her bag.

The surrounding envious gazes instantly turned to surprise and eagerness, "Comrade, can you sell me a stainless steel water bottle? I can give you an extra buck."

Someone who reacted first spoke somewhat eagerly.

Su Xiaoxiao pretended to hesitate for a moment, then said, "Alright, I’ll sell this one to you first. I’ll deliver the other one next time."

Saying so, she readily handed the stainless steel water bottle to the speaking young woman.

The young woman was delighted, quickly taking out nine bucks for Su Xiaoxiao, "Comrade, thank you so much."

Seeing her actually sell a stainless steel water bottle, the surrounding passengers instantly gathered around.

"Comrade, do you have any more stainless steel water bottles? I want one too."

"Comrade, I also want one, I’ll add a buck as that other comrade suggested."

"Comrade, I’ll add one and a half."

Listening to the enthusiastic voices around her, Su Xiaoxiao furrowed her brows, "But I only have one left, and I need to use it myself."

The fervent voices quickly quieted down.

Liu Fang seized the opportunity, "You said you had plenty, but only those two, pretending to be something you’re not, so shameful."

Su Xiaoxiao calmly replied once she finished, "Although I don’t have any now, if anyone needs one, you can leave your contact details with me, and I’ll send them once I get more."

Almost everyone on this bus was from her area, someone immediately asked for her address.

Others followed suit, surrounding Su Xiaoxiao.

"Don’t be fooled by her, she might take your deposit and run away, and you’ll have nowhere to find her, the address might be fake."

Liu Fang snorted, her tone sour.

People coming to order immediately looked hesitant.

"We’re all from the same area, consider us fellow townsmen, you can pay and receive the goods directly."

Su Xiaoxiao said, pausing before adding, "However, my cousin can only get up to ten, first come, first served."

As soon as she spoke, those hesitating immediately pressed forward, eager to pre-order from Su Xiaoxiao.

Ten stainless steel water bottles were reserved in no time.

Su Xiaoxiao calculated, if exchanged for gold coins, that’s nine thousand gold coins, only spending five for a stainless steel water bottle, a huge profit.

Two hours flew by, and Su Xiaoxiao happily disembarked at the station.

Just as she got off, a familiar cold snort came from behind, "Proud of what? Just getting some water bottle, as if no one else has one."

Su Xiaoxiao turned around, sure enough, saw that familiar annoying face.

Really clashing with her old foe, they both got off at the same place.

At that moment, Su Xiaoxiao saw Liang Guofu anxiously looking around outside the station.

Seeing her, he immediately waved enthusiastically.

Su Xiaoxiao was about to quicken her pace towards him.

Just two steps in, someone forcefully bumped her aside, "Didn’t see you’re blocking my way? You think he’s waving at you? He’s my uncle, the workshop supervisor at the meat plant."
