Eating melons

Chapter 753 Setting up a stall

“What should I sell…”

Wang Guilan muttered to herself, and suddenly, a red wishing rope hanging on a tree by the lake caught her attention.

As the students prayed for good grades on their exams, Wang Guilan had an idea: Why not sell some small accessories and stationery? Students always need paper and pens, and the cost isn't too high.

Wang Guilan thought this was feasible, but she had no source of supply. There were still three days until Saturday, so she still had three days to find a source of supply.

The main thing now is to go to the counselor to apply for day school. She is worried about leaving two such young children outside at night.

Wang Guilan’s application for day school was quickly approved, and she moved her bedding out of the dormitory that night.

Everyone in the dormitory breathed a sigh of relief after watching Wang Guilan leave and move all her things away.

If nothing else, they can finally breathe a breath of fresh air.

Because of the weather, Wang Guilan's quilt was not washed at all. She just wiped it and left it in the dormitory. The smell was so bad that they felt like vomiting as soon as they entered the dormitory.

As soon as Wang Guilan left, everyone immediately opened the doors and windows to ventilate the room and get rid of the smell.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that they could finally get a good night's sleep tonight.

In three days, Wang Guilan actually found the source of goods. It turned out that the potential of people who were forced into a desperate situation was unimaginable.

She used ten yuan to wholesale pencils, erasers, and exercise books. She also saw some beautiful hairbands and hairpins, and after hesitating for a moment, she bought some.

I used the remaining money to buy some flour and vegetables, so that the children could at least have a few full meals.

On Saturday morning, before dawn, Wang Guilan quietly got up and heated up some breakfast. She glanced at Tiedan and Yaya who were still sleeping soundly, and forced them to wake up and eat breakfast.

On a bitterly cold February morning in Beijing, Wang Guilan was pushing a cart borrowed from her landlord. The cart was loaded with two large cardboard boxes containing all her "goods."

There were two cloth belts wrapped around his waist, and two children were tied to the other end.

She chose to set up a stall outside the east gate of Peking University, where many students came in and out on weekends.

"Hello, classmate, let me take a look at the hairpins. They are the latest styles."

She tried to force a smile and try to sell her wares to the female students passing by, but most of them just glanced and hurried on.

After standing there for a whole morning, I only sold three pencils and an eraser, making less than fifty cents.

At noon, she was eating the cold steamed buns she brought from the cafeteria yesterday, watching people coming and going on the street, and a wave of despair surged in her heart.

At this rate, I can’t even make back the rent, let alone pay off my debts and feed my children.

"Wang Guilan?"

A familiar voice sounded.

She looked up and saw Wei Wei standing in front of the stall, wearing a beige wool coat, with a handsome man standing next to her.

I think that must be Wei Wei's man. This is the first time Wang Guilan has seen Wei Wei's man. The phrase "a talented man and a beautiful woman" instantly comes to Wang Guilan's mind.

"How did you..."

"I stayed in the dormitory for an extra night yesterday because of something. I didn't expect to run into you here."

Wei Wei didn't expect that Wang Guilan would actually come to set up a stall. To be honest, Wei Wei was quite happy to see her like this.

It’s not about the twenty dollars, but it’s like I’ve seen the awakening of female consciousness.

Wei Wei looked at the simple stall, frowning slightly. "You can't set it up like this. Spreading rags on the ground and leaving things all over the place, who would want to stop and look?"

Wang Guilan lowered her head in shame. Wei Wei sighed and took out a piece of blue printed cloth from her bag (bought in the system mall).

"This is my extra tablecloth. It's much better than your rag."

She squatted down and rearranged the stall, sorting the stationery and hairpins neatly into categories, and even placed a few of the most beautiful hairpins in a prominent position.

“But... still no one buys it..."

Wang Guilan said in a low voice.

Wei Wei stood up and looked around. "You have to shout! If you don't, who will know what you are selling? Look at the guy selling candied haws over there, he's shouting so hard."

Wang Guilan opened her mouth, but no sound came out. She had never done such a thing before. It was already a speculation and her heart was in her throat. Now she was asked to shout loudly, which was really difficult for her to say.

"How about... you demonstrate first?"

she asked timidly.

Wei Wei raised an eyebrow and pointed at herself, "Me? You're dreaming. This isn't my business. I'm only here to help, not to send you off to the grave."

After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave, but then stopped, "By the way, these hairpins you have are too ordinary. I have a few copies of 'Shanghai Fashion' and I'll show them to you tomorrow.

These are all things that Shanghai girls like nowadays. You can learn to make some new styles."

After saying that, Wei Wei turned around and left.

I don't know what he thought of, but he walked back and said, "By the way, when doing business, you still have to pay attention to your image. People's first impression is very important.

You are selling small accessories, which are pretty things, so you should pay more attention to your attire and appearance. This is very important."

After saying that, Wei Wei left without looking back.

After walking a distance, Xiao Xuemu asked curiously, "Is this your roommate who made the whole dormitory laugh? Why do I feel like you have a good impression of him? Is it my illusion?"

"It's okay! I didn't like it before, but it's okay now.

Don’t you see that there’s a tenacity in him? I like that tenacity in her.

In such an environment, she was able to be admitted to Kyoto University, and was in the first class, with only so much time to review. This shows that she is very tenacious, and not only is she very tenacious, she also has the ability and intelligence.

Not only that, there is also responsibility. In fact, with her current ability, if she doesn't take care of her two children, her future will be very bright.

Eighty percent of the reason she became what she is now is because of her two children.

When judging a person, you should not only look at her shortcomings, but also her strengths.

To be honest, if she can really get over it on her own, I would still be willing to help her.

I am very happy to see more and more women shining in their respective fields based on their own strength.

Instead of just relying on others, using tricks, and slowly sinking into depravity like before."
