An Empress's Return to the Present: The Real Young Lady's Strong Comeback Chapter 9

Chapter 9

She had originally wanted to be friendly to her and get close to her, but after spending two days together, Gu Xiao was very obedient and friendlier to others. On the other hand, Ji Yao was deliberately setting up an image, which seemed a little petty.

She began to wonder if she really needed the Ji family’s help to obtain this opportunity, which was why she had mocked Ji Yao yesterday.

The sky quickly darkened, and everyone, bearing various thoughts, went to sleep.

It was a dreamless night.

Early the next morning, the few of them got into the car which was driven to a market. Not far from the entrance, there were two stalls set up, facing one another. The production team had rented them in advance.

The few of them unloaded the oranges from the car and distributed them briefly among the two stalls, before starting to work.

Actually, Gu Xiao did not want to win at all. Although she had been exposed in front of Ji Yao, she was still an ignorant little cutie in front of others! But the current situation seemed to be…

“I’ll calculate the best price for the oranges. Chen Li, go and pick out the superior and inferior ones. Gu Xiao looks good when she smiles. Go to the market and shout to advertise us. Although I know the director doesn’t value us, but with those words from Ji Yao, I don’t want to lose.”

An Yang looked up and said to them seriously, “Do you… think I’m being too compet.i.tive?”

An Yang’s family was very poor, but her parents still insisted on sending her to school. Because she did not want to let her family down, An Yang had worked hard since she was young and did everything as perfectly as she could.

She had good grades and was smart. However, because she was compet.i.tive and her family was relatively poor, she had always been criticized by her cla.s.smates. They gradually isolated her and she gradually lost her confidence.

“Why would I?” Gu Xiao rubbed her face. “A compet.i.tive and hardworking girl is the cutest!”

At that moment, the gaze that An Yang directed at Gu Xiao seemed to be s.h.i.+ning brightly.

[Wow, wow, wow, such a cute pair!]

[Gu Xiao’s action of holding her face really has CP feel.

If Gu Xiao could see the comments right now, she would definitely laugh out loud. After all, the viewers considered even two girls a CP pair.

Chen Li quickly divided the oranges into ordinary and superior products, while Ji Yao bought a pile of packaging sponge and wrapped the oranges one by one.

“Ji Yao, I think Gu Xiao’s side has separated the quality of the oranges into ordinary and superior batches. Should we do the same?” Lin Xue asked.

“Whose idea was it?” Ji Yao did not even look up.

“It’s An Yang”

“Then don’t worry about it.” Ji Yao continued to pack with one hand, looking a little comical.

Lin Xue’s mind was filled with confusion. What did this have to do with whose idea it was?

“Lin Xue, there’s no need to choose at all. People nowadays don’t care about these things. If the packaging is good and the appearance is good, more people will buy it. Quality is secondary.” Meng Fei raised an eyebrow and started lecturing Lin Xue.

Fortunately, these words were not recorded because they were filming the surroundings of the market.

Lin Xue was speechless, but she couldn’t act however she liked in the team. She could only wrap oranges with them.

Soon, they finished making orange gift boxes, one after another. At this time, there were already more people in the market. People saw a few children selling oranges with cameras beside them. Then, they took a closer look at the children’s appearances. Wasn’t this the show that had been popular these few days?!

Hence, the people began to gather in front of the stalls. Ji Yao and the others were already very popular to begin with. Coupled with the fact that the product appearance was indeed good, the difference in treatment towards the two stalls soon increased.

Lin Xue was also shocked. That worked?

Hence, the oranges on Ji Yao’s side were almost sold out, while Gu Xiao’s side had only sold a little.

Ji Yao looked at Gu Xiao like a victor. Gu Xiao could not be bothered with her and only tried her best to attract customers.

Ji Yao already thought that she would definitely win. Suddenly, a person who had just bought oranges from Ji Yao walked over and threw the oranges at her face.

“What’s going on? You’re fooling us with these oranges!”

“Sir, what do you mean?” Ji Yao looked at the person in front of her in confusion.

“Asking him what he means, I should be the one asking you!” A middle-aged woman also came over and threw the oranges on their table and snapped.

As more and more people gathered, Ji Yao was slightly overwhelmed. They were all people who had just bought oranges from her stall, but their faces were filled with anger.

“Look at the oranges you’re selling. Not only are they so sour that they could make your teeth fall out, but look at this one. There are even worms in it! Why are you even selling such quality?”
