Chapter 48 Real Mineral Water
Xu An and the others returned to the town to gather, and when the staff announced the ranking of the procurement funds, they were surprised to hear this news.
Not only that, Bai Ge and Jiang Zhaoyue were already waiting for them at the meeting point. At this moment, Jiang Zhaoyue's beautiful face, with its bright, sparkling eyes, was looking at him. She slightly raised her chin and said with a smile:
"Why are you taking so long! Bai Ge and I were about to go and buy things for the villagers first."
After saying that, Jiang Zhaoyue seemed to suddenly remember something, revealing her dimples: "Xu Xiaoan, do you have enough money? If not, you can borrow from your older sister. I'm the richest person in the whole house right now!"
Seeing Jiang Zhaoyue's smug expression, Xu An found it amusing. Without saying anything more to Jiang Zhaoyue, Xu An turned to Bai Ge, who was quietly watching with an elegant smile, and asked her question:
"Sister Ge, what did you go to sell?"
Seeing Xu An's bewildered expression, Bai Ge's eyes flashed with a smile, and she said with a beaming smile:
"You should ask Zhaoyue; all the credit for today goes to her."
Upon hearing this, Xu An looked at Jiang Zhaoyue in disbelief.
I thought you were just coasting along and winning, but it turns out you're the main carry?
"How did you do that?"
Xu An's voice still carried a hint of doubt.
Seeing Xu An's incredulous expression, Jiang Zhaoyue was quite pleased. She proudly stretched out her slender, long, and well-defined hand.
"I just stretched out my hand lightly, and they gave me the money!"
Upon hearing this, Xu An was greatly alarmed.
"No, you went begging?"
Jiang Zhaoyue's smile froze instantly.
She? Begging?
She's a top idol, why would she beg?
The live stream was also amused by Xu An's unexpected remark.
[This is hilarious! Money just comes out of your hand; isn't that just begging?]
[Who can follow Xu An's line of thinking?]
On the other hand, if Zhaoyue asked for money, which man wouldn't be willing to give her some?
"You're the one begging! I'm doing manicures!" Jiang Zhaoyue's delicate face immediately puffed up like a little squirrel.
"So you just ask for money, and they give you it?"
"Can't you see my manicure?" Jiang Zhaoyue said resentfully.
Upon hearing this, Xu An glanced at Jiang Zhaoyue's hand again and indeed saw it: Jiang Zhaoyue's fingertips were adorned with tiny sparkling diamonds that shimmered in the sunlight, as if she were wearing starlight on her hands.
Bai Ge, who was standing to the side, was also amused and quickly explained, "Zhao Yue and I set up a nail salon stall in the market."
"Because we can't use our own identities, we all wear masks and sunglasses. Even so, when Zhaoyue reaches out, customers see how well she makes things for them and they all come over to have theirs done."
Upon hearing this, Xu An finally understood. Looking at Jiang Zhaoyue, who was glaring at him with her puffed-up cheeks, he couldn't help but chuckle awkwardly.
Then, seeing that Jiang Zhaoyue was still silent, Xu An glanced at her hands, an idea struck him, and he said naturally, "Actually, you can't blame me!"
"How could I have imagined that you were reaching out your hand to show off how beautiful your nail art is?"
"To be honest, I didn't even pay attention to manicures. What does having nice hands have to do with manicures?"
"Just like how good clothes ultimately come down to how good the person is, right?"
Hearing what Xu An said earlier, Jiang Zhaoyue thought that Xu An was mocking her nail art for not being pretty, and she felt a little wronged, her eyes even reddening.
But then he froze.
Does he mean that my hands are so beautiful that I didn't notice my manicure?
Upon understanding Xu An's words, Jiang Zhaoyue's face lit up with joy. Her eyes, which had been on the verge of tears, suddenly became bright and sparkling again. She couldn't suppress her smile and said in a slightly embarrassed voice:
"You're exaggerating. My hands aren't that pretty."
Seeing Jiang Zhaoyue instantly appeased, the viewers in the live stream were immediately displeased.
[How could Zhaoyue be so spineless? You believed just a few words?]
[That Xu An, he always makes people angry and then makes them happy again, doing all the good and bad things by himself!]
[Xu An: I'll make Zhaoyue's mood change from gloomy to sunny, but how gloomy it will be is none of your business.]
[This looks fake to me. Do people really get their nails done in places like this?]
It wasn't just the viewers in the live chat who had this question; Chen Zize, standing nearby, also expressed some doubt:
"Aren't students still on holiday? Are people getting their nails done now?"
How much do you charge for a manicure?
"One person paid 150 yuan, and I probably did it for more than a dozen people."
Jiang Zhaoyue thought for a moment, then answered.
"How can there be so many?"
Upon hearing Jiang Zhaoyue's words, Zhang Lin, who was standing to the side, also sensed that something was amiss.
It's one or two people, that's fine, but how come there are more than a dozen people in this market willing to spend 150 yuan on a manicure? It's not like it's a commercial street in a big city.
Xu An, standing to the side, had a rather strange expression on his face, and said in a somewhat odd tone:
"Zhaoyue, are all the women who get their nails done by you very elegantly dressed middle-aged women?"
Upon hearing Xu An's words, Jiang Zhaoyue's eyes lit up, and she nodded repeatedly.
"Really? How did you know? Bai Ge and I were also curious at the time about why there were so many customers!"
"I later learned during our conversation that they were all accompanying their husbands fishing and just happened to be browsing the market."
Chen Zize: ...
Zhang Lin: ...
Okay, now they know why there are so many people getting manicures.
The live streamers also found out.
[That explains why I didn't see any women at the fishing spot earlier; I thought they were all going alone.]
[They couldn't hold back any longer; it turns out all three business lines were targeting the fishermen.]
Who will ultimately get the money for the manicure? It's so hard to guess!
[This is hilarious! So in the end, the fishermen are the ones who foot the bill?]
[Fishing enthusiasts have fueled the booming economy of small fishing huts!]
No, I can't help but laugh whenever I think about Xu An's story about the gold mine and mineral water...
Not only did the people in the live stream think of Xu An's theory about gold mines and mineral water, but Chen Zize and Zhang Lin also had strange expressions.
Seeing this, Bai Ge and Jiang Zhaoyue asked curiously, and then learned the story. When they heard that both groups had gone to fish for money, they couldn't help but laugh.
The happiest person was Jiang Zhaoyue. Her eyes curved into crescents, revealing her small, white teeth, and she kept smiling.
"Haha, selling bottled water at a gold mine?"
"Fifteen yuan for a toy?"
Jiang Zhaoyue spoke while smiling at Xu An.
The viewers in the live stream couldn't stop laughing as they watched Jiang Zhaoyue nod triumphantly.
[Haha, so getting your nails done at a fishing spot is the real deal when you're drinking mineral water?]
[That's right. Xu An used all his strength to make the fisherman pay fifteen, while Zhao Yue simply reached out and paid one hundred and fifty.]
[Zhaoyue: Making money is as easy as pie]
[Aside from Wanwan, a second business genius has emerged. You mean Xu An? What a joke!]
Xu An remained relatively calm, though his voice carried a hint of annoyance.
"We made a mistake. We didn't target the right group. The main consumers aren't fishermen, but their wives!"
