When the female supporting role has a beauty system

Chapter 1230

“It’s possible, but it’s not a sure thing,” Tan You pondered for a moment. “Even a powerful dragon can’t suppress a local snake. We need to think of a safer approach.”

“Cheng Peng didn’t show up in public yesterday,” Tan You glanced at Zhang Yifeng, “Did you bring your laxatives?”

“I brought it, Auntie. How do I use this?” Zhang Yifeng took out a small paper packet containing the strong laxative prepared by Tan You.

Tan You gestured for Xia Chengpeng to look at the people keeping watch outside, each holding a steamed bun: "It's a bit pathetic to just eat steamed buns, Chengpeng, you can..."

Zhang Yifeng and the other skinny young man understood. The two of them, with their backs to Tan You, began stuffing laxatives into the large meat buns. Twenty meat buns in total, each one was given the laxative.

Xia Chengpeng cheered himself up and left the guesthouse restaurant carrying a bag full of meat buns. As he passed a person who was keeping watch, Xia Chengpeng seemingly accidentally knocked the bun out of the person's hand.

"Hey you little brat, can't you watch where you're going?" As expected, a conflict ensued.

Xia Chengpeng clutched the bag of meat buns, looking timid. His back was hunched, his face filled with panic: "I...I didn't mean to, how about I compensate you? These are meat buns I just bought, I'll compensate you...okay...is that alright?"

As he spoke, he opened the cloth bag, and the aroma of meat buns wafted out, causing the people nearby to swallow hard. These outermost followers were the lowest class, barely managing to make ends meet on a daily basis.

With so many big meat buns in front of me now, putting everything else aside, the first thing that comes to mind is my craving.

Worried that this wouldn't be enough, Xia Chengpeng even pushed the cloth bag in front of these people: "Is this... enough to compensate you?"

"Be more careful next time!" The blond-haired guy who was bumped by Xia Chengpeng snatched the cloth bag from Xia Chengpeng's hand, took two buns for himself, and the rest were divided up by the others.

"Let's go, I'm in a good mood today, I won't hold it against you."

Xia Chengpeng suppressed a smile, gave a weak reply, and returned to the guesthouse.

The men who were keeping watch while eating the steamed buns were too preoccupied to pay attention to Xia Chengpeng. After sharing twenty steamed buns, they continued to squat by the wall.

"My stomach hurts so much! I need to go to the toilet!"

"I...I want to go too!"

"Have we eaten something bad?"

"Hurry up and go! I can't take it anymore, I have to go too!"

"I go first!"

The group jostled and pushed each other as they went to find the restroom. A few moments later, Xia Chengpeng and Zhang Yifeng poked their heads out. After making sure the people who had been watching them had left, Zhang Yifeng waved his hand behind him and said, "Auntie, let's go!"

Tan You came out carrying a small square bag. "Let's go, let's get out of here quickly."

As for how much reprimand these people who failed to perform their duties, Tan You had no say in that.

On the way back, all the people who had come with them stared wide-eyed. It was indeed a dangerous journey; pickpockets were a common sight, and there were all sorts of robberies. It was only thanks to their numbers that they were able to thwart the outsiders' attempts to steal their belongings.

Xia Chengpeng and Tan You whispered to each other, "Aunt Qiao, this is too scary."

Tan You remained remarkably calm: "It's normal. The rule of law is still imperfect, and household registration management is inadequate. It will get better in a few years."

In a few years, with surveillance cameras everywhere, controlled knives and the like won't be allowed on trains anymore, so how could it be so dangerous? People venturing out at this time are really risking their lives. Tan You and his group arrived in the city around the same time as the goods, and now they need to quickly sell the goods to accumulate funds. After all the clothes were in place, Tan You and his group started going to various markets and stalls.

These young men came in handy; they seemed to have inexhaustible energy, pedaling their tricycles everywhere, and in less than a week, all the clothes were sold out.

Xia Chengpeng also followed behind, working very hard, leaving early and returning late every day, but he didn't feel tired at all.

Xia Gang, observing this, whispered to Guo Xiaoyu, "Do you think our son is really not cut out for studying? I see he really enjoys doing business, and he comes home very happy every day."

"Who wouldn't be happy making money?" Guo Xiaoyu said with a hint of envy, "What do you think? Should I join Sister Xiaomai's group too?"

Xia Gang: "The food factory is a large factory, and you're a team leader now. Are you willing to resign?"

“I’m reluctant,” Guo Xiaoyu sighed, “but Chengpeng still needs to study. It doesn’t sound good to graduate from junior high school. He has to finish high school no matter what.”

Xia Gang: "I agree with that. No matter what, we should finish high school."

The same conversation took place in each family. Tan You had led everyone to resell clothes, and everyone had made a considerable profit. This made everyone even more tempted, but they all knew that this trip was dangerous and that one person couldn't handle it alone.

Tan You ran a clothing resale business for two months straight, and everyone thought she would continue doing it. However, after accumulating enough capital, Tan You swiftly took over a struggling clothing factory.

Zhang Yifeng walked around the factory and exclaimed, "Auntie, you're amazing!"

While they were still content with being middlemen, Tan You was already preparing to set up a factory.

Tan You patted his head: "How about coming to work for me as the sales director?"

"I'm really interested," Zhang Yifeng said, linking his arm with Tan You's. "Auntie, I'll do whatever you ask me to do!"

Tan You resold clothes, and now she's running a garment factory—she's making quite a stir. Her former colleagues have naturally heard about it, and their reaction is always the same: "Anyone with the ability can do anything."

Even if she were to go into the clothing industry, which she has never been involved in before, she would definitely do well.

As everyone expected, while the city's garment factories were on the verge of bankruptcy, Tan You's garment factory was thriving. She even started her own magazine and fashion shows, and advertised on CCTV, making the Mo Ran brand known throughout the country.

Tan You's garment factory quickly became a leading enterprise in the city, just three years after she resigned from the food factory.

Tan You is now 38 years old, but when she goes out, no one would believe she is 38. The original owner of this body had a naturally round face, and as everyone knows, a round face makes one look younger. Some people would even believe that Tan You was only 30 years old.

Once a person becomes rich and famous, countless suitors flock to them. However, Tan You's heart is as hard as iron; she hasn't had a single suitor all these years, seemingly determined to spend her life with her career.

Guo Wenting handed the wool coat to Tan You: "President Qiao, you have an interview at nine o'clock this morning, a lunch party at noon, and an inspection of the new factory this afternoon. The car is ready."

Tan You nodded slightly, then glanced at Guo Wenting: "How's it going to be your internship at the company?"

Guo Wenting smiled and said, "It's great. I really like my life now."

She just finished her college entrance exams and got into her dream university. Now she's interning at the company before starting university. After all, Tan You only has one daughter, and she'll be responsible for the family business in the future.

As for Guo Wenshan... he has the Guo family to take care of him.
