Chapter 45: The Deceased Min Yizhou

Chapter 45: The Deceased Min Yizhou

Starting a business was not as simple as Lei Yating had imagined, especially in the online reseller business. The path was even harder.

With the development of the internet and online resellers repeatedly appearing on trending searches in a negative light, mocking and ridiculing online resellers had practically become politically correct.

This was Mei Lixiang’s genuine experience from the past few days of sales.

There were even relatives who did not know the truth and mocked her sarcastically. Sigh...

If it were not for the fact that Lei Yating’s pills genuinely kept her motivated, she might not have been able to keep going.

Another Saturday arrived.

Mei Lixiang planned to give herself a day off. The moment she opened WeChat, she discovered that her account had practically exploded.

More than a hundred friend requests and over ninety-nine messages.

“My dear sister, the weight loss pills you recommended are insanely awesome!”

“So amazing! I actually lost a full 4 kg (~8.8 lb) this week!!! You have to know I still ate hotpot twice and had late-night crayfish feasts three times!”

“I lost a full 4.5 kg (~9.9 lb) in one week. Here’s my weight before, and here’s my weight after. Unbelievable!!!”

“I’m crying. I only bought one treatment course. Tell me, do you still have any medicine? We’ve been classmates for years, give me an employee discount price!”

The first batch of customers who bought the weight loss pills responded enthusiastically.

Not only had they become thinner, but their skin had also undergone visible changes. It even seemed as though their pores had shrunk somewhat.

The key point was that they had no idea how they had lost weight. They ate and drank all week as usual. It was only when someone around them suddenly commented, “Have you lost weight?” that they realized they really had slimmed down. This kind of weight loss was not fat dehydration that would later rebound. Instead, it reshaped the entire body. The skin around formerly obese areas became firmer, and even stretch marks faded!!!

“These must be medicine made by immortals!”

“They’re definitely immortal weight loss pills. I spent over ten thousand yuan on weight loss medicine before and cried while staring at the scale!”

“Little sis, do you still have any medicine over there? Sell me some at the insider price. The original price of 490 yuan is so expensive. As a student, I can only cry.”

Each WeChat account could only receive the promotional price once. That was the rule. But when there are policies from above, there are countermeasures below.

As a result, some people registered several alternate accounts to add Mei Lixiang as a friend, while others came to buy after receiving recommendations from people around them.

Regardless of whether they were exploiting loopholes, it was a good start.

Delighted, Mei Lixiang organized all the orders and sent them to Lei Yating for shipment.

In a single morning, she received one hundred and fifty orders. With a ten percent commission, Mei Lixiang earned 1,050 yuan!

And this was only the beginning. Once the reputation of the weight loss pills fully spread, earning over ten thousand yuan a day would no longer be a dream!

Thinking of this, Mei Lixiang hugged her phone and laughed so hard that her shoulders shook like a sieve.

In today’s society, where university students were everywhere and graduate students could be found on every street, what did earning one thousand yuan a day mean?

Before even graduating, she had already surpassed ninety-nine percent of her peers.

At the same time, Lei Yating was both suffering and happy.

Working alone for an entire day, using electronic printed labels, she could package and ship one hundred and fifty orders without a problem. But once the shipment volume increased, she would no longer be able to handle it all herself.

“When business gets even better, I’ll hire assistants and customer service staff. There’s no way one person can manage everything.”

To do big business, the scale had to expand and manpower had to increase. Otherwise, if she personally handled everything, how could she ever make serious money?

The pure profit margin of the weight loss pills reached ninety percent of the selling price.

Mei Lixiang earned a lot, but Lei Yating earned even more. Hiring a few workers would not pain her at all.

After placing today’s shipment of weight loss pills into a woven sack, Lei Yating planned to head downstairs to the nearby postal shipping station.

Why the postal service?

Because it was cheap, nearby, had delivery stations nationwide, and signing a contract with them was highly cost-effective.

As she went out, she saw the door opposite hers open as well, and a tall, slender, extremely handsome young man walked out.

Pretending to glance casually, her heart began pounding.

However, that tiny spark of romantic interest had barely emerged before painful memories from her previous life surfaced in her mind and quickly extinguished her appreciation of handsome men.

What was so great about men compared to money?

Finding a man was inferior to cultivating, refining pills, and doing business!

Thinking this, Lei Yating’s expression turned cold.

She saw Zhu Chun’an, and naturally Zhu Chun’an saw her as well.

After carefully observing the aura around her that had not yet been fully concealed, he immediately knew that Lei Yating was also one of their kind.

Seeing the large and heavy woven sack in her hands, Zhu Chun’an politely stepped forward and asked whether she wanted help.

Lei Yating coldly refused.

“No need.”

After speaking, she strode past Zhu Chun’an, entered the elevator, and closed the doors in one smooth motion.

Zhu Chun’an: “???”

The senior’s roommate...

Did not seem very friendly.

Although he was a university student, because of his profession he frequently requested leave from classes. The university had already been notified by his department, so there were no strict attendance requirements for him as long as he did not fail his final exams.

Counting it up, Zhu Chun’an had not been to school for three days already.

Today was Saturday, and he planned to go study in the university library.

Driving his pink QQ, while waiting at a traffic light at the Wudaokou intersection, he spotted a familiar mass of black baleful energy standing by the roadside.

Pei Ye also noticed that flashy pink car among rows of black and white vehicles.

T City was huge, but up until now, Zhu Chun’an’s pink QQ was the only one she had seen.

Zhu Chun’an gestured to her, indicating that he would park in a nearby parking lot first.

“Senior, out shopping?”

Pei Ye looked at Zhu Chun’an as he hurried over.

“No. Yesterday I accepted a job on Break Through the Dimensional Wall.”

After pausing, she added, “I contacted you yesterday, but you didn’t respond.”

Whenever Zhu Chun’an received jobs, he thought of Pei Ye. Naturally, Pei Ye returned the favor.

Unfortunately, she had been unable to reach him.

Zhu Chun’an scratched his head and smiled.

“My Senior Sister dragged me to B City as free labor. I was so busy that I didn’t get back to T City until after four in the morning. If there are suitable jobs in the future, Senior doesn’t need to contact me specifically. If the difficulty is appropriate, you can bring along Xiao Pangzi. He really needs to accumulate more experience and broaden his horizons right now... Oh, right, Senior, have you contacted Xiao Pangzi?”

Pei Ye: “???”

The hamster crouching on Pei Ye’s shoulder, trembling slightly, let out a weak voice.

“Teacher... I’m right here...”

Zhu Chun’an: “???”

“Your eyes... should you maybe visit the ophthalmology department?”

Pei Ye sincerely suggested.

He was standing right across from them. Why had he not seen Xiao Pangzi on her shoulder?

Zhu Chun’an: “...”

(:з」∠)

Was he supposed to tell Senior that, in his eyes, she looked like a dense mass of black fog?

How could he possibly see Xiao Pangzi, who had transformed into a hamster and was standing on her shoulder?

But could he say that out loud?

Of course not!

Zhu Chun’an possessed a strong survival instinct.

So, for one of the rare times in his life, he lied, saying that his eyes had suffered a minor problem during a mission and would recover after two days of rest.

Pei Ye could tell that he was lying. She simply could not understand why he felt the need to lie.

“Senior, is it convenient to reveal the details of the mission?”

“Someone died at the neighboring 233 University of Finance and Economics.”

Zhu Chun’an was startled.

Wasn’t 233 University of Finance and Economics his alma mater?

“Someone died? Who? When did it happen?”

When he had gone on a business trip to B City, the university had still been peaceful. He had heard no news, so the death must have occurred within the last three days.

“A third-year student in Financial Management, Min Yizhou.”
