After belittling Shen Mianmian for a while, Zhou Siyu finally felt a bit more comfortable. She snorted with disdain, "Birds of a feather flock together. These people are all the same as her, clueless about the world."
She was going to attend university in the future and marry into the city. She would choose to befriend those of a higher class, not bothering with playing around with these people.
This trip to the city had opened Zhou Siyu’s eyes and got her thinking more.
The young girls in the city, when they went shopping in small groups, were all dressed beautifully.
It made everyone look cultured. If she walked with these people, even if she dressed prettily, others would immediately know they were from the countryside.
It would lower her own status.
She looked at Zhou Siyu somewhat strangely, "Why do I feel like you have changed?"
The old Zhou Siyu was approachable, bluntly put, very good at pretending to be nice and always defending Shen Mianmian, as if she had a lot of sympathy.
But now she seemed aloof, as if they weren’t worthy to play with her.
"If you went to the city a few times, you would change too," Zhou Siyu thought of the city scenes, her eyes sparkling, especially when she remembered Gu Jianbin, her mood improved.
What others called love at first sight, must be something !
Zhao Xinlan felt Zhou Siyu was showing off and pursed her lips, remaining silent.
Meanwhile, Shen Mianmian was surrounded by a group of students, bombarded with one question after another, which somewhat overwhelmed her, but she still responded to each one, maintaining a humble attitude.
However, Lu Siyuan didn’t scene at all. He was wearing new clothes too, so why wasn’t he the center of attention?
He believed he also looked good, didn’t he?
Anyways, Zhou Siyu considered himself to have the best looks in the entire class, unmatched in handsomeness. If Shen Mianmian was a jade girl, then he was definitely a golden boy.
The clothes on Shen Mianmian were beyond what these students could afford, so after their curiosity about the clothes subsided, they shifted the conversation to the hair tie she had on.
"Mianmian, your strawberry hair tie is really pretty. Where did you buy it?"
"I really want one too! But the hair ties they sell in our town don’t have any decorations."
Shen Mianmian smelled a business opportunity from their conversation, "One for ten cents. They don’t sell these in our town, only in the city. I’m going back to the city on Saturday. If any of you want one, give me the money first, and I’ll buy it for you."
If enough people wanted them, she could buy them wholesale and make a small profit without much hassle.
If only a few wanted them, she could just pick up a few from a stall for them, at no loss.
"Can you really help us buy them?"
The eyes of the girls surrounding her instantly lit up.
One for ten cents, although pricier than ordinary hair ties, they were so pretty!
These young girls always liked to save up their pocket money. Though not much, they had a few dimes to spare. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢•𝓷𝓮𝓽
So, hearing that Shen Mianmian was willing to help, they were immediately tempted.
Shen Mianmian took out a pen and notebook, "Whoever wants one, sign up and give the money now. I’ll record it all, buy them on Sunday, and can give them to you on Monday."
A girl from a relatively well-off family was the first to buy one.
Once someone took the lead, the other young girls followed suit, wanting to buy. Shen Mianmian took the money from each and recorded it.
"Shen Mianmian, I didn’t bring money today."
Several girls looked at Shen Mianmian with worried expressions, desperately wanting one too.
Shen Mianmian reassured them, "Don’t worry, it’s only Monday today, and there’s plenty of time before we go buy them. You can bring the money to sign up tomorrow as well."
