Chapter 67: Distribution of 67 moisturizing creams
The young man not far off had a tall and upright stature, standing at least at six-feet-tall.
Dressed in a white shirt, black trousers beneath, and stepping on a pair of brand-new leather shoes.
He had a high nose bridge and thin lips, his face adorned with a faint smile.
His gaze held a touch of cool indifference when looking at others.
“Tangtang, what are those people doing? Isn’t that Factory Director Qin going to our house?” Lin Qingmu pulled Lin Tang away from those people, asking in a low voice.
Lin Tang withdrew his gaze, nodding, “It’s Uncle Qin, he’s probably receiving some leaders.”
“Leaders?” Lin Qingmu’s voice lifted slightly, “That’s a leader? He looks so young…”
Updat𝓮d from freewēbnoveℓ.com.
Although that person had an impressive aura, he seemed much younger than his older brother.
Having lived in the future, Lin Tang knew that there truly were favored children of heaven in this world.
Those people were blessed with unique advantages.
Not only did they come from good families, but they were also smart, often doing things beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Considering that, the young man must be remarkable for Factory Director Qin to show such respect.
Nevertheless, the man was indeed handsome.
Even in the future, with so many artificially good-looking men and women, she had not seen anyone as handsome as him.
“It’s quite normal, some people are just born smart,” Lin Tang said with a smile.
Then—
She saw the man lift those unfathomably dark eyes towards her.
Their eyes met.
Deep, pitch black…
And that was with his glasses partially concealing them.
One could well imagine how piercing those eyes would be without the glasses, like flash lightning.
With just a glance, the man looked away and continued talking with the few people next to him.
Lin Tang turned her gaze back and smiled at Lin Qingmu.
“Third brother, let’s go, we are off to the supply and marketing cooperative to get some money!”
Handsome men or not, nothing beat the tangibility of money.
Lin Qingmu’s eyes lit up, his whole being radiating immense joy.
“Right, right, let’s hurry.”
With those words, he strode towards the supply and marketing cooperative.
Eager to get their money, the two walked briskly.
In less than ten minutes, they arrived at the cooperative.
When Fang Xiaoyun saw Lin Tang, she informed the team leader and came out from behind the counter.
She pulled Lin Tang to a secluded spot.
“Tangtang, here is your money, ten yuan in total.
Our director smelled the product and washed his face with it, trying it out briefly before he eagerly paid for it without haggling, seeming very delighted.”
Lin Tang took the money, handing one yuan to her friend as a commission.
“Here you go! Don’t refuse, without your help in selling, I wouldn’t have this income.”
She had never intended to make money from the skincare ointment.
The ten yuan were an unexpected windfall.
Moreover, this transaction had sparked a new idea in her mind.
Fang Xiaoyun quickly stepped back, hastily declining.
“No, no, no, I can’t take it.
I didn’t do anything, so why should I take this?
Moreover, your product is good, it doesn’t need me to sell it!”
Because of Tangtang’s skincare ointment, she had gained face with the leaders, which was a huge favor; she felt like she owed Tangtang a great deal.
“No, take it. I still have something to ask of you!” Lin Tang insisted, pushing the money into her hand, her voice brooking no refusal.
Private trading was not allowed at present.
Xiaoyun was also taking a certain risk by helping her sell the products in secret.
She couldn’t let her friend help for nothing.
Fang Xiaoyun didn’t know whether to accept or refuse, and she felt a bit flustered.
“If there’s anything I can help with, just say it. You don’t need to…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Lin Tang directly stuffed the money into her friend’s pocket.
“If I say you should take it, you should take it. If you don’t, how can I trouble you again with a good conscience?”
Fang Xiaoyun, seeing how insistent her friend was, found it hard to refuse and blushed as she said:
“You can just tell me if there’s anything, Tangtang. We are so close, there’s nothing we can’t discuss.”
“It’s nothing major, just about the skin cream I make. I’d like you to help me sell it.”
“I’ll give it to you for four yuan a box, supply you with three boxes a month, and you do the selling.
Sell them for five yuan or five yuan fifty, it’s all up to you. What do you think? Are you in?”
Supplying three boxes a month was the result of Lin Tang’s careful consideration.
The skin cream contained medicinal herbs, so the cost wasn’t low; its price had to be at least the same as that of Snowflake Cream.
These days, there were very few people willing to spend money on their faces; producing too much wouldn’t be appropriate.
Selling this stuff was nothing like selling food that could fill people’s stomachs.
Upon hearing Lin Tang’s words, Fang Xiaoyun’s face lit up.
“I’m in, why wouldn’t I be in for such a good deal…”
Such a good product would be in high demand.
Even if she sold just one box a month, she could still earn at least fifty cents, or even one yuan.
“Thank you, Tangtang, you’re so kind!” Fang Xiaoyun said, her face full of gratitude.
Tangtang was even better to her than her own family.
Lin Tang: …There’s really no need for the good person card.
After saying goodbye to Fang Xiaoyun, Lin Tang and Lin Qingmu walked briskly towards Shuangshan Brigade.
They were eager to get back!
On the way.
Lin Qingmu kept glancing at Lin Tang with an expression as if he couldn’t believe he wasn’t dreaming.
“Bro, if you want to ask something, just ask.”
Lin Qingmu hesitated for a moment, his voice tinged with disbelief.
“Tangtang, was what you just said to that comrade from the supply and marketing cooperative true?”
“It’s true. Is there a problem?” Lin Tang replied, puzzled.
Didn’t Third Brother hear her talking with Xiaoyun?
“Does that mean our family is going to have… a stable income of twelve yuan every month?!” Lin Qingmu’s voice was hoarse with excitement.
He felt like he was dreaming.
The whole day had been a dream.
Coming to the county with Tangtang was a dream!
Eating at the state-owned restaurant was a dream!
His sister securing grain and oil relationships was a dream!
Selling skin cream was even more of a dream!
It seemed like he had been dreaming a wonderful dream all night and hadn’t woken up yet.
Lin Tang nodded and calmly said, “You can’t quite put it that way. A box of skin cream can last for three months at least; it can’t be a stable income.
How much we’ll earn specifically depends on how much Xiaoyun sells.
Maybe she won’t be able to sell even one box, or maybe there won’t be enough to meet demand; it’s hard to say.
But it is a certainty that our family will have an income of twenty-three yuan from salary every month.”
This was just the temporary salary; in the future, it could be even higher.
“That’s wonderful!” Lin Qingmu murmured.
He probably needed Mother to whack him with a rolling pin a couple of times to wake up.
He was still feeling dazed.
Until—
About half an hour into their walk, when they were no more than a kilometer away from the village,
Lin Qingmu suddenly exclaimed, “Tangtang, look ahead, isn’t that Liu Guohui’s grandson?”
He really looked the part with his bumbling gait.
But wasn’t that scoundrel supposed to be at work?
Lin Tang focused her gaze.
“It seems like it is.”
“Hahaha, what new tricks is that grandson trying to pull, limping like that?” Lin Qingmu said, his face filled with unhidden schadenfreude.
Seeing the Liu family’s misfortune gave him a sense of delight.
It was like drinking a bowl of ice water on a blisteringly hot day.
“Who knows, never mind him. Let’s hurry home, Dad and Mom are waiting for us!” Lin Tang suggested.
They had agreed to return by noon, and it was almost afternoon now.
One could imagine how worried their parents must be.
“Okay, let’s go home.”
