Chapter 240: Chapter 240 Act for Yourself_1

Song Yunuan finished speaking these words.

Xue Min’s resentment faded quite a bit.

But she was still very angry.

She turned her face away, refusing to look at Song Yunuan.

Yet she couldn’t help thinking that the child had indeed changed a lot, both in conversation and demeanor, she was calm and composed.

Could it really be that she had grown up overnight?

Qin Zhong did not want to lose face in front of Little Nuan, but today he had been thoroughly embarrassed. He said with difficulty, "Well, Little Nuan, it was our misunderstanding. You can go back now, and I hope you will behave yourself."

Song Yunuan nodded vigorously.

Then Qin Zhong and Xue Min, with complex expressions, hurriedly walked ahead and quickly disappeared from Song Yunuan’s sight.

Song Yunuan’s expression was calm, and her eyes were indifferent.

However, on the way back, she still looked lost. After all, they were the foster parents who had raised her for seventeen years. She had to handle this situation carefully.

Everyone knew how she felt.

Anyone facing such a situation would feel helpless.

You can’t fight, you can’t scold, you can only hold the anger in. After all, the other party held a certain status.

Liu Wen, although not knowing much, was savvy. His eyes flicked around, and he quickly said eagerly, "Little Nuan, you just mentioned you had a good idea. Can you share it with us now?"

Song Yunuan nodded at Liu Wen, a smile on her face, and then gestured to her dad and little brother standing at the entrance of the private room not to worry.

Afterward, smiling, she said to Old Man Hu and others, "Grandpa Hu, Grandpa Lin, you go have your meal first. Don’t worry about me, I will join you in a bit."

Seeing Song Yunuan’s expression, Old Mr. Hu and Old Mr. Lin’s worries were also eased.

Song Yunuan began to explain the basics of sales to Liu Wen.

She told him that first, you need to understand and master the product that you are selling, such as the materials and styles of hair accessories. As for the specifics of the pitch, she would explain separately in a bit.

Second, basic etiquette is important.

Tidy up any overly long hair.

Nowadays, most people, especially men, wear very plain clothes, with the Zhongshan suit being predominant.

Or work clothes.

Song Yunuan demanded that these three men dress in a neat and orderly fashion.

What they were currently wearing, short sleeves and undershirts, was fine.

But it must be clean and tidy.

Another important point is not to stare hard at the customers, as it appears aggressive and can scare the girls away.

Less nonsense, and no slick talk.

Smile with a modest and honest demeanor.

If you can’t control your eyes from wandering, then wear glasses.

Don’t have too many people around; just enough is fine.

Liu Wen kept nodding, feeling as though he had discovered a new world.

A fresh feeling washed over him.

Liu Wen also wanted to restock.

Song Yunuan said, "The cost of clothing is higher, but I have quite a few dresses that you could sell without worrying about overstocking."

Liu Wen rubbed his hands together and directly said to Song Yunuan, "I’ll go borrow money, and the next time I stock up, I won’t owe anything anymore."

Song Yunuan shook her head, "Don’t do that. You have limited funds and borrowing from everywhere will put a lot of pressure on you. Let’s stick to our original agreement. No matter what you sell, until you can afford to buy the goods upfront, I’ll give you credit."

Liu Wen expressed his gratitude profusely.

In reality, Song Yunuan was just testing the waters.

She would go into details after all the hair accessories had been sold.

Then, Luo Zhiwu told Song Yunuan that he would soon have to go back to work and thanked her.

Song Yunuan was modest for a while, then told Liu Wen that when she got home, she would send him a batch of hair accessories and handbags.

After settling most of the matters, Liu Wen thought for a moment and then mentioned to Song Yunuan that his sister was out of work.

She was currently at home, pasting matchboxes with his mother.

He planned to take some hair accessories back to her as well.

After all, selling hair accessories was actually more convenient for a girl.

As for Song Yunuan, she was just testing Liu Wen.

She had already provided the right direction.

She would see how well he managed once he got the hang of it.

Back at their home, Qin Zhong and Xue Min sat on the couch with gloomy expressions.

Qin Siqi had been hungry for a while and upon their return, she observed their expressions but couldn’t discern much, so she said, "Mom, I’m hungry."

Xue Min, in a bad mood, offhandedly told Qin Siqi, "If you’re hungry, why don’t you make something to eat?"

Qin Siqi was taken aback. Was this discontent?

She lowered her head.

Seeing her daughter’s reaction, Xue Min softened her tone, "There’s plenty of food in the house, and we have ready noodles and buns. Just make yourself whatever."

Qin Siqi said, "I don’t know how to cook."

She was very upset inside. What did these two people mean? Did they want to take their anger out on her?

They were incompetent themselves, yet only knew how to vent on others.

Just a Song Yunuan, and up until now, they still hadn’t figured it out, returning instead with a face covered in dirt.

Xue Min frowned and said, "Didn’t you say that you have been cooking at the Song family since you were young all the way until you grew up?"

Qin Siqi felt guilty. Her eyes flickered as she said, "The countryside uses wood-burning stoves. How would I know how to use city appliances?"

Xue Min looked at her daughter and sighed in her heart. She had to admit that at the moment, Qin Siqi simply couldn’t compare to Song Yunuan.

Not to mention getting to know anyone, just take Song Yunuan’s composure in front of Old Mr. Hu, and the way the two of them protected Song Yunuan.

It left a bad taste in anyone’s mouth just watching it.

Her mood was complex, it wasn’t about hating the Song family, for they were just unworldly rural people in essence.

But had it not been for the mix-up, would Siqi not have been so petty?

But she also didn’t dare to say it was her own good parenting.

Because the former Little Nuan was not outstanding, quite ordinary, but now she seemed to have transformed into a butterfly from a cocoon.

On the other side, Qin Zhong said, "Siqi, I heard that Song Yunuan’s grades have already improved through tutoring, and she’s doing very well now. Since you’re not going for the sponsored training and are going to high school, you need to study hard too."

Qin Siqi had been enrolled in Nanshan County Town’s No. 2 Middle School, with average grades.

The Song family was so poor because they were supporting two high school students.

Due to the identity issue, she transferred back to the provincial city.

Qin Siqi wanted to attend a sponsored training school and thus did not go to high school.

In her heart, she thought, how did Song Yunuan suddenly get so good at studying?

She remembered what the two people had just said about the Song family starting a garment factory.

She couldn’t define the feeling in her heart.

But mostly, it was jealousy.

When she was there, they were poor as church mice.

But look at them now, they’ve even started a garment factory after she left.

Xue Min tried to soften her voice, "Siqi, you must study hard and not be outdone by Song Yunuan."

Qin Siqi was angry inside, but she still obediently agreed before returning to her own room.

Standing at her desk, she was furious. That Song Yunuan, she just wouldn’t go away.

But how could this be?

Was the memory of those five years just an illusion of hers?

She decided not to indulge in wild thoughts and instead focus on reviewing her lessons properly.

It wasn’t long before Lu Zhenguo and Cai Jie also arrived.

Qin Zhong said to Lu Zhenguo, "From now on, let’s not bring up Song Yunuan again. Old Master Hu had it right. Now her surname is Song, not Qin. I have no right to discipline her."

Cai Jie said, "How do you not have the right? Strictly speaking, you both are still her foster parents. For the luxurious and pampered seventeen years she lived with you, she should be grateful to you for the rest of her life."

Xue Min waved her hand and her face looked terrible. "Don’t bring that up again. She has grandparents, a father, and a mother now. What does she need foster parents for? If we go by what you said, should Siqi also repay the Song family if she becomes capable in the future?"

Cai Jie pouted, "Xue Min, are you confused or what? With all the hardships Siqi has endured, she should still repay them? What are you two thinking?"

Seeing Xue Min’s face growing darker, Lu Zhenguo quickly pulled Cai Jie away, saying, "Alright already. Let’s leave this matter in the past. And don’t bring up Little Nuan and Afeng’s past marriage arrangement ever again. Just pretend we never knew each other."

Who would have thought that after thirteen rounds of trouble, it would end up with no one acknowledging anyone.

Wasn’t that what they had thought in the beginning as well?

-----------------

Song Yunuan had already bought the train tickets, and a group of people were preparing to return to Nanshan County Town.

Principal Cui was gleeful, wondering if anyone would come to meet them? Would there be songs and drums?

After all, this was also a grand happy event for Nanshan County Town.

In the matter of establishing the school, Little Nuan had made a great contribution.

Others might not mention it, but he must, and besides the prize money, could they give Little Nuan a position, even if it was just an honorary title, to ponder over this matter?

Meanwhile, Old Qi and Old Dou had already left the provincial city.

They had arrived at Nanshan County Town and rented a house in the southern suburbs.

They originally wanted to go to the hospitality house to find out what was going on with Xia Zhi and the others, but after some thought, they decided against it.

Old Qi called Shangguan Yunqi and told her candidly about Song Yunuan’s superhuman strength and her odd behavior.

Shangguan Yunqi naturally didn’t believe it.

She said coldly that Old Qi was out of touch with the times, always resorting to violence. It wasn’t the ancient times; what use was strength? There were plenty of ways to deal with her, and they were not allowed to give up.

She instructed Old Qi to try to deal with Song Yunuan before the work group left, so she wouldn’t have to go to Nanshan County Town.

These past few days, Xia Bowen had been pressuring her hard.

The company was also putting pressure on her, and the police had talked to her.

Even the leader of the work group had visited.

Shangguan Yunqi felt as if her face had been peeled off and trampled on the ground for everyone to step on with full force...
