Su Xiaoxiao refused without a second thought, "Sorry, I’m not interested in dating right now." Currently, she only wanted to make money so her family could have a good life; she wasn’t interested in anything else. Zhou Cheng confessed his feelings for the first time in his life and was flatly rejected, standing there dumbfounded for a moment before blurting out, "Then when you want to date, consider me first." After speaking, he turned and left without waiting for Su Xiaoxiao’s response. It wasn’t until he left that Su Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered she had forgotten something important. She hadn’t returned the money she took from him. Cursing herself for being an idiot, she hurriedly chased after him, "Comrade Zhou." Hearing someone, Zhou Cheng feared she might come to reject him again and quickened his pace, disappearing in no time. Forget it, I’ll just keep it for him for now. The interview results would take a week to come out. Su Xiaoxiao pushed her bicycle and walked outside. Just as she reached the door, she saw a middle-aged man, dressed in a Zhongshan suit and sporting a slicked-back hairstyle with a leader-like demeanor, asking around about something. As she got closer, she realized he was actually looking for her. She was about to avoid him when he spotted her, smiled, and approached, "Hello, comrade. May I ask if you know Su Xiaoxiao, Comrade Su? I heard she came to the department store with you for an interview." Su Xiaoxiao: "I don’t know her. What business do you have with her?" "I just have something to discuss with her." "Oh, then you should ask someone else. I’m leaving now." After saying that, Su Xiaoxiao pushed her bike away. She didn’t know him, and who knew what he was up to? The priority now was to leave quickly. Zhang Dongmei hurriedly caught up and heard this part, intuitively sensing that Su Xiaoxiao had caused trouble again. She rushed forward and shouted, "Comrade, she is the Su Xiaoxiao you’re looking for. You should catch her quickly." Hearing this, Li Zhenhua immediately chased after Su Xiaoxiao, "Comrade Su, you can’t leave." Zhang Dongmei gleefully joined in the fun, "Su Xiaoxiao, have you caused trouble again? They’ve even come looking for you here." Li Zhenhua, having run too fast earlier, was now holding onto Su Xiaoxiao’s bike seat, panting heavily, "Su... Su comrade, let’s chat." Su Xiaoxiao tried to pull away a couple of times but couldn’t free her bike. She turned and looked at him warily, "Chat about what?" Li Zhenhua took a moment to catch his breath, "Comrade Su, I’m the director of the city detergent factory. I’d like to discuss purchasing a shampoo formula with you." Before Su Xiaoxiao could react, Zhang Dongmei spoke up first. Judging by the man’s demeanor earlier, she thought he was coming to cause trouble for Su Xiaoxiao, but unexpectedly, he was here to give her money. She immediately regretted opening her mouth earlier; had she known, she wouldn’t have said a word. Su Xiaoxiao hadn’t expected him to come for this reason either. Her expression softened considerably; anyone coming to offer money was a godsend. She looked at Li Zhenhua with a smile, "How much are you planning to offer?" She could buy the shampoo formula from her balding friend and make a profit as a middleman. Li Zhenhua pondered for a moment and said, "Comrade Su, what price are you thinking of? We can discuss it back at the office." This question stumped Su Xiaoxiao; she didn’t even know how much this was worth. In modern terms, it should be worth at least tens of thousands. "This formula belongs to a friend of mine. I’ll need to ask them first. Can I give you an answer in a week?" Li Zhenhua was growing impatient by now. The shampoo was better than anything they’d produced before. His cousin was losing hair and had improved significantly after using it for a month. He had specifically asked to try two packets and found not only did the shampoo smell great, but it also produced rich foam, leaving hair clean and refreshing. He had a hunch that once this shampoo hit the market, it would cause a sensation. "Comrade Su, could you take me directly to meet your friend?" Li Zhenhua was anxious and couldn’t help but ask. Su Xiaoxiao thought, even if I let you meet him, you wouldn’t see him. Read complete versıon only at 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑒·𝗇𝗲𝘁 "No, my friend is shy and doesn’t like interacting with strangers." Hearing this, Li Zhenhua felt a bit disappointed but had to agree, "Okay, we’ll meet here in a week." No matter how urgent he was, the formula was with them, and he had to wait patiently. After agreeing on a time, they parted ways, and Su Xiaoxiao turned to meet Zhang Dongmei’s resentful gaze, "Su Xiaoxiao, this isn’t over between us." After saying this, Zhang Dongmei left in a huff. Su Xiaoxiao was speechless; she was purely a bystander, really. Returning home, she eagerly rushed into her room and opened the game interface. I Am Chased By the God of Wealth: "Hey, there?" The message was replied to in less than three seconds. The Bald Hero: "Sister, what can I do for you?" I Am Chased By the God of Wealth: "Bro, I want to buy your shampoo formula." The Bald Hero: "I knew you were the only one who appreciated me. Back in the day, I spent a fortune hiring someone to develop it..." Seeing that he was about to go off on a tangent, Su Xiaoxiao interrupted quickly, "Bro, how much are you selling this formula for?" Just as Su Xiaoxiao thought he would ask for a hundred thousand or more, a reply came. The Bald Hero: "With our relationship, I’ll give it to you." Hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao almost fell off her bed. Was this guy super rich? He just gave away a shampoo formula like it was nothing. Just as that thought crossed her mind, he sent a stream of photos showing luxury cars and houses. The Bald Hero: "See? I’m not lacking money now. Thanks to you, not only one shampoo formula but even more, I can afford to give." Su Xiaoxiao: Why does this make me feel slightly envious? Having settled the formula issue, Su Xiaoxiao lay down on her bed, closing her eyes peacefully. The next morning, she, surprisingly, got up bright and early, even finding her old worn schoolbag. Liu Cuilan stared at her as if she’d seen a ghost, "What are you planning to do?" "Mom, I’m going to school." Upon hearing this, even her two younger brothers looked at her as if they’d seen a ghost. Didn’t their third sister always hate school? This was the first time they heard her willingly going to school. However, before they could dwell on that thought, they heard something even more shocking. "I’m going to take the senior year graduation exam." Liu Cuilan almost spat out the soup in her mouth. Wasn’t the third child probably having a fever? With her awful grades, she could barely keep up while in school, let alone after having been out for so long. "Third child, listen to Mom. If you really want to study, we should retake it for a year." Su Xiaoxiao rejected without hesitation. She was about to start work at the department store; there was no time to retake classes. Moreover, during the interview, she had confidently told them she was a high school graduate. When starting the job, she’d have to bring her high school diploma. Not only did she have to take this exam, but she also had to do well in it.
