Chapter 207 Your Force Has Arrived
Around 5 p.m. on a weekend, I drove my new car back to the neighborhood, sporting the Mercedes logo, which attracted the attention of many passersby who were on their way home from get off work or going out to buy groceries.
He Qiaoyun searched for an empty parking space with her eyes and parked the car there.
After getting off the bus with her things, she went home, then suddenly went downstairs again, borrowed a piece of paper, and wrote down a number for moving the car.
This is not my private parking space after all.
On the way back, she subconsciously started to think about whether she should consider buying her own house, otherwise she would have to worry about moving her car from time to time.
But when I thought about the money in my pocket, the expenses of the factory, orchard, and supermarket, and the current chaotic housing prices, I couldn't help but sigh.
It doesn't seem worthwhile to buy a house worth millions just for a car that costs 100,000 yuan.
Of course, she could buy them, but she had to take it slowly. You can't get fat in one bite, she told herself.
I ate too much at the afternoon dinner, so even as it got late, I didn't feel hungry. So I lay on the sofa and looked at my phone.
I was shocked when I saw it. The video I posted yesterday got over a million likes, over 100,000 comments, and my follower count is skyrocketing, about to break three million.
She opened the comments section and found it to be extremely polarized: young fans were making jokes and using memes, while her peers remained silent, only sending three emojis.
While aimlessly scrolling through the comments section, I suddenly saw the latest comment pushed by the system: "Sis, you have such a great factory and company, if you really don't know what to do, why don't you make sanitary napkins and save us?"
He Qiaoyun didn't quite understand what the netizen meant by the last sentence, "Please save us."
Judging from the netizen's tone, she seemed to be a young girl, so she screenshotted the comment and sent it to her daughter, who frequently surfs the internet: 【What does this mean?】
Xu Hemei had just finished get off work and was on her way to pick up her car to go home when she received the message and immediately made a phone call.
He Qiaoyun answered the phone, "Hello, are you off work?"
Xu Hemei said wearily, "Yes, just got off work. I'm exhausted every day..."
He Qiaoyun asked, "Quickly explain to me what the netizens mean by this."
Xu Hemei said, "This is news from a long time ago. Someone exposed that these sanitary napkin manufacturers produced products that did not meet specifications, were of poor length and quality, and caused various gynecological diseases in women. The key point is that the price is ridiculously high."
He Qiaoyun frowned. "Why haven't I seen this kind of news before?"
Xu Hemei: "Mom, there's something in this world called an information cocoon, which means your phone only pushes things you like. Plus, this isn't exactly something to be proud of, so these manufacturers have all joined forces to suppress it. We ordinary people really can't do anything about it. It's a necessity of life, and we still have to use it. It's quite frustrating."
She added, "However, this netizen's suggestion seems quite feasible; you can consider it."
After digesting her words, He Qiaoyun felt a stirring in her heart, because 90% of her fan base was female, which seemed like a good opportunity.
However, when responding to her daughter, she remained reserved, saying, "I have so many things to do right now, I don't have time for this. Let's talk about it later."
Xu Hemei said, "That's true, it's a considerable investment, but if you're considering doing it, I can invest."
He Qiaoyun: "Okay."
Although she was tempted, she restrained herself. It could only be a fleeting thought. She wasn't an octopus; she couldn't try to grab everything at once. In the end, she would only end up losing more than she gained, which would be a huge loss.
After lying down for a while, she put down her phone, found her computer, and started watching the show she hadn't finished.
It looked like it wouldn't stop, and when I checked the time, it was already 10:30.
Startled, she shut down her computer, got up, stretched, and realized she was hungry.
So I decided to go downstairs for a walk and buy some late-night snacks to fill my stomach.
Strolling along, I stopped at the food stall where Wang Jinghuai worked and went inside.
When Wang Jinghuai saw her arrive, remembering her previous lesson, she simply gave her the menu and said nothing.
He Qiaoyun flipped through the menu and said, "One serving of scrambled eggs and beef congee, and one serving of roasted eggplant."
After saying that, she handed the menu back to her.
Wang Jinghuai took the menu back. "Wait a moment."
He Qiaoyun looked down at her phone, scrolling through the comments section listlessly.
The dishes she ordered were simple, and Wang Jinghuai quickly served them to her.
"I saw your video. Congratulations, you've become popular again," Wang Jinghuai said casually.
He Qiaoyun said calmly, "Thank you, I will become even more popular in the future."
It would be a lie to say she wasn't jealous. Wang Jinghuai snorted and turned to leave.
He Qiaoyun shrugged, picked up a small bowl, scooped up some porridge, and happily began her late-night snack.
This restaurant makes really good roasted eggplant.
She was eating while holding her phone when suddenly the men at the next table started playing a drinking game.
The man's voice was loud, which startled her. Her phone trembled and fell with a "thud" into the plate of roasted eggplant.
She paused for two seconds, then frowned and picked up her phone. Fortunately, the phone was waterproof, and her daughter had bought her a phone case, so there wasn't any major problem. However, she couldn't finish the half-eaten roasted eggplant.
I opened the phone case, took out a few sheets of paper to wipe it, and the cheap paper scraps stuck to the matte phone case.
Helpless, she picked up her phone case and phone, got up, and randomly found a waiter. "Excuse me, where can I wash my hands?"
The waiter pointed and said, "Go through this passage; there are toilets and sinks at the back."
He Qiaoyun then said, "That table is mine. I haven't finished eating yet, so don't clear it away."
Waiter: "Yes, I know."
As He Qiaoyun walked into the passage, she heard a conversation.
"Brother Zhao, please don't be like this. I'm just here to work..."
"...How much money can you earn working? Let me have some fun, and I'll give you money to spend."
"No, no, Brother Zhao, I'm not good enough for you. You should find someone else..."
"...Wang Jinghuai, others may not know you, but I know you well. You used to be someone's mistress, breaking up other people's families and getting kicked out. That's why you came here to do odd jobs. And you're still pretending to be a chaste and virtuous woman?"
Wang Jinghuai remained silent for a long time, then her voice broke into a hysterical, sorrowful tone, "So what? So what? I just made a stupid mistake once. Can't I just change my ways and live a good life? What did I do to offend you? Why do you always have to be so hard on me? Why!"
Seeing her pitiful state only fueled his lust. He opened his arms and embraced her, coaxing her in a greasy voice, "Yes, yes, I know you're pitiful and strong-willed, but now, your strength has arrived. You'd better stay with me, and I'll protect you from now on..."
Wang Jinghuai struggled violently in disgust, shouting, "Who said I need your protection? Let me go! Let me go!"
