Unfortunately, despite changing the attending doctor, the result remained the same.
Gu Mingzhu lay on the bed, having been ill for over half a month, her face pale, and at this point, she seemed to have lost even the will to live.
Fang Yue couldn’t bear it, almost crumbling, holding Gu Mingzhu and crying, "Why is my daughter so unfortunate!"
Gu Mingzhu lay motionless on the bed.
It was unclear how much time had passed when Gu Hai also arrived. Upon hearing his daughter had fallen seriously ill, he was stunned. Once, Gu Mingzhu was his pride, his source of boasting!
The Gu Family was under a cloud of gloom.
Hai City.
After resting for half a night, Pei Yicheng and Xu Nian’an were already full of energy and went out at ten in the morning.
"Yicheng, let’s split up. I want to check out the wholesale market in Hai City," Xu Nian’an suggested. Pei Yicheng was likely interested in things related to Liunian’s perfumes or hand creams.
"Alright."
Pei Yicheng responded, allowing Ling Dong to accompany Xu Nian’an. Xu Nian’an waved his hand and said, "Yicheng, don’t worry. I’m all grown up now; I won’t get lost."
Even though it was his first time in Hai City, Xu Nian’an wasn’t afraid at all. Looking at the skyscrapers of Hai City, he felt excited instead. Standing beneath the towering buildings, he felt insignificant, yet he was determined to earn more money and make the Xu Family’s business reach new heights.
Not understanding the local dialect was fine; Xu Nian’an could speak Mandarin. After asking for a long time, he found out where the wholesale market was and headed there directly by bus.
Even though both were major cities, Ningbei was different from Hai City. The wholesale markets here seemed larger, possibly because Hai City developed earlier.
Thinking this way, Xu Nian’an entered the wholesale market, feeling like he had unlocked a new world. His targets were clear: small novelties and electronic products.
He knew how profitable radios and watches could be. Students might not earn money themselves, but their parents had it!
Many student parents scrimp and save for themselves but don’t hesitate to buy such items for their children as long as the products are good; price is not an issue.
Small novelties were similar to those in Ningbei. If sold in Hai City, it would be fine, but transporting them to Ningbei would incur significant freight costs, making it impractical.
But electronic products piqued Xu Nian’an’s interest.
Compared to the factory Shuqin had found, Hai City’s electronic products were not only more complete but also slightly cheaper.
Take radios, for instance; there were seven or eight different models, some very compact and looked exceptionally delicate, with prices similar to what they had obtained.
There were even more types of watches, ranging from a dozen yuan to ones costing over a hundred yuan, with designs so diverse that it could dazzle Xu Nian’an.
Though Xu Nian’an asked a lot of questions, he didn’t indicate buying or stocking; many busy owners ignored him.
Regardless, Xu Nian’an found a shop named Qiquan Electronics, which truly lived up to its name. They had a complete range of electronic products, cramming the small shop to the brim — radios, watches, fans, flashlights, hair dryers, etc.
The shop’s business was booming, and Xu Nian’an didn’t leave. He stayed in the shop until evening, waiting for the owner to finish serving batch after batch of customers.
"Young man, are you looking to stock up?" The owner asked upon sending off the last batch of customers, seeing Xu Nian’an had been standing in the shop all afternoon.
