Scum Man Cannot Redeem Himself - chapter 80

Ning Qing had long thought that Fuqing City and Sucheng were the two places closest to the Qingshui River. These two places were estimated to be the places where she could get the most customer resources in the future. Of course, after doing a good job, she could sell it to other places. It was already good enough to sell her makeup powder in these two places. She dared not think about going elsewhere.

She already had a plan. She would rather go back to Qingshui to replenish the makeup powder she had before heading to Sucheng.

Ning Qing bought a few buns in front of the stall selling buns and planned to eat in the carriage the next day.

“Ning Qing?” Someone behind her tentatively called her.

Ning Qing took the bun and turned back.

It was the flower boss.

He stood in the crowd in pale blue.

“Flower boss, what a coincidence,” Ning Qing laughed.

“Why are you eating this?” Yang Junhan looked at the buns in Ning Qing’s hand which was too small. “Come, I will take you to eat some good food!”

“No, this is reserved for eating in the carriage tomorrow. However, I would like to invite you to eat.” 

The last time he gave her wood and paved road, she had no chance to thank him. Now that they met, she must be grateful.

The two went into a restaurant, and the flower boss asked for a single room and ordered a dozen dishes.

“Why did you order so much, can you finish them?” Ning Qing asked, looking at a plate of dishes delivered to the table.

“I’m hungry.” Yang Junhan looked at Ning Qing and said, “You eat more today.”

“Aren’t you busy today?” Ning Qing passed the Yang’s business office twice, and wanted to send a few boxes of makeup powder to Mrs. Yang. But when she went in, they said the boss was not there.

“Fortunately, there are times when I’m busy. Generally, I’ve got time after being busy for a long time. If I were busy working every day, wouldn’t it be too exhausting.”

“Oh!” She remembered that Chen Jili would go to the office every day, and every time she asked him, he said he was busy. Later she learned that it was an excuse. He would say he was busy even if he wasn’t busy.

“This fish is well cooked. You try it,” Yang Junhan pointed to a braised crucian carp.

Ning Qing shook her head, “I’m afraid of the small thorns in the fish. I don’t like to eat it. You eat it.”

“It’s so delicious. You will miss it,” Yang Junhan felt very sorry.

“This chicken is good enough, you eat fish.” Ning Qing said, “the taste is good enough.”

Yang Junhan picked up a piece and tasted it, “Well, it’s really good. Eat more if you like it. I think you got thin.”

Ning Qing was surprised. She put down the chopsticks, and touched her cheek, “Did I get thin? No wonder my clothes feel loose. It appears that walking more can really make you lose weight.”

“What are you doing?” Yang Junhan looked at the wooden box carried by Ning Qing.

Ning Qing opened the wooden box, took out a few boxes of makeup powder from the inside, and put them on the edge of a table by Yang Junhan, “My makeup powder is ready. You can give these boxes to Mrs. Yang. Last time I was in your house, your mother treated me very well.”

“Then you are welcome anytime.” Y

Yang Junhan thought that if his old lady knew that it was sent by Ning Qing, she would be very happy. However, some weird ideas may arise again.

She covered the wooden box, “I came to Fuqing City this time to sell these makeup powders.”

Yang Junhan couldn’t help thinking of the time she had waited for him in front of his house for days to sign a contract with him. She even drank flower wine with him.

“Do you want to sell them in shops?”

“Of course,” Ning Qing ate a bit of rice. 

“Unfortunately, the situation is not optimistic. I need to double my efforts.”

“I have a suggestion. I wonder if you would like to listen.”

“The flower boss’s suggestions are hard to come by,” Ning Qing said.

“Why not hire people to sell and give them wages based on the quantity and number of shops sold to.”

“I also thought about this, but I don’t have enough money. I am worried that I wouldn’t be able to pay the wages.”

“You can’t sell things like this. You will lose more money by then. I have a bank. I can lend you some turnover first. You just ask some people living in Qingshui to sell, they don’t have to worry about their wages not being paid.”

Ning Qing pondered for some time. She really couldn’t do it on her own. There would be a lot of makeup to be sold later. She also needed to teach people how to do makeup at home.

“Thank you. If I don’t have enough money in future, I’ll find you.” 

She could borrow money but she decided to wait. If it sold well, the money would come back quickly. It was best not to borrow money at the moment. She would feel like she owed him too much.

“You are welcome any time.”

“Well, I will go to the village to recruit some people to go to Sucheng with me to sell.”

“Are you going to Sucheng?”

“Well, I almost went to all of Fuqing’s shops.” Ning Qing ate a lot and put down the chopsticks, “The road was paved and the shed was built, thank you very much.”

“Eat more. There is no need for those polite words.” Yang Junhan quietly pushed the plate of roast chicken in front of Ning Qing, “You … you can skip Sucheng and just send some people there instead.”

Ning Qing had no words. She wanted to go to Sucheng. She wanted to meet Hui Xian. And she had to write a letter to her parents. Until now, she dared not tell her parents who were in Beijing about her divorce, fearing that they would worry. Their useless daughter was defeated after only three years, and ran away.

…

Ning Qing returned to the Qingshui village and released the news of the hiring. Soon, many villagers came to recruit. Ning Qing selected a few clever and reliable people, arranged the area where everyone was responsible to go and set off to Sucheng.

When they left one by one, Ning Qing returned to Ning courtyard alone. Seeing the familiar things even if she had left the place for a long time, it felt as if she had never left here.

“Ning Qing,” a cold voice came from behind her. It was filled with anger. 

Ning Qing clenched her fingers rather than turning back.
