68: Chapter 68: New Business Opportunities 68: Chapter 68: New Business Opportunities Shen Zhihua, after listening, found himself speechless.
An Hao’s words ant she was not interested in him that way, his affection unanswered, his intentions unreciprocated.
Shen Zhihua’s heart sank a bit, feeling sowhat uncomfortable, an indescribable taste lingering before he even had the chance to speak; being rejected like that isn’t easy to take.
“Class leader?” An Hao, seeing that he wasn’t speaking, gently called out to him.
Had she really shattered his confidence that badly?
“Ah…
you go back, I’m leaving!” With that, he left sowhat awkwardly.

Saturday, early morning.
An Hao arrived early at the prearranged eting place at the entrance of the village.
In a little while, the other three people arrived one after another.
In the village, they used ox carts to travel to the town.
Shen Zhihua had arranged for an ox cart in advance, and once everyone had gathered, they set off.
Upon reaching the town, the bus to the city had just arrived.
Shen Zhihua paid for everyone’s tickets, and they boarded the bus to the city.
An Hao sat with Song Yueqin, and as the daybreak ca, she could finally see clearly what Song Yueqin was wearing.
She wore a gray woolen coat, a fiery red scarf, deep blue straight-leg pants, black leather shoes, and her bangs were curled with matchsticks, looking quite fashionable.
Song Yueqin felt very smug as she noticed An Hao sizing her up.
Such clothes could only be bought in the city; how could An Hao, this country bumpkin, have seen them?
She was just pretty, after all.
If Song Yueqin were as beautiful as An Hao and wore this outfit, she would absolutely dazzle everyone.
The more Song Yueqin thought about it, the more self-satisfied she beca, just waiting for An Hao to ask about her clothes.
An Hao smiled faintly and turned her head towards the window, preferring to look at the scenery instead.
How annoying!
Song Yueqin was inwardly cursing An Hao, not understanding why the girl was no longer fawning over her as she had in the past, admiring this and that.
It indeed made her feel sowhat uncomfortable!
As Song Yueqin was contemplating this, she heard soone on the seat behind muttering, “That slls wonderful!
What’s that scent?”
A slightly younger woman sitting next to her said, “Aunty, it’s the sll of Snowflake Cream.
We bought it after getting our paychecks from city jobs, it’s really nice to use!
The scent is particularly delightful!”
“Must be expensive, right?
We all use clam oil!”
“This thing’s pretty common in the city, so it’s not that expensive.
But the price is higher in our town and villages,” the younger woman explained.
“How much does it cost?
My son is getting married soon, and I’m thinking of buying a box for my future daughter-in-law.”
“One yuan and fifty cents.”
“Oh my, that’s not expensive!
That’s the price of a few pounds of eggs.”
Hearing the two won’s conversation, Song Yueqin pursed her lips, thinking they were stingy for balking at the cost of a box of Snowflake Cream when her grandmother would buy several boxes to give away.
The conversation between the two won behind her caught An Hao’s attention.
She was pondering over finding so business opportunities in the city, and hearing their talk, An Hao felt she should probably do sothing.
So she turned around and started chatting with the two won behind her.
“Aunty, big sister, the Snowflake Cream you’re talking about, do many people in our town use it?” An Hao wanted to inquire.
If one were to do business, it is essential to first understand the market demand and supply.
“Not many.
It’s too expensive, not many people buy it.
Clam oil is cheaper, and that’s what everyone uses,” said the aunty.
“Oh, I see,” An Hao nodded thoughtfully.
“But everyone wants to use Snowflake Cream, especially young girls and brides-to-be!”
“That’s right.
A good product with a pleasing scent always attracts people,” An Hao agreed with a smile.
The desire to be beautiful is innate in all humans, and especially as life improves in the future, people will pay even more attention to such things.
