Chapter 44: Chapter 44 Not Their Conservatism

Huang Mingze, who had been humiliated, now wanted to have an outburst.

But there were too many people around, and he couldn’t let go of his pride.

It should be known that ever since he started school, he had never experienced failure to get what he desired, or failure to chase the woman he wanted.

Now, such a situation arose, and it even involved Liu Zheng.

He felt utterly embarrassed but didn’t have any good way to handle Liu Zheng.

He shot a venomous glance at Liu Suqiu, and then his gaze finally landed on Liu Zheng.

"Haha! Good, very good! Liu Zheng, let’s leave it at that for today. I can go... but rest assured, I’ll find you later to have a good heart-to-heart talk, to reminisce," he said.

As he spoke, he turned his head for a glance at Su Mei, who was still standing there, dazed.

"Damn it, let’s go. What the hell are you still looking at?"

As he was speaking, he had already turned and was quickly walking towards the outskirts of the crowd.

He left with his tail between his legs, and that left everyone present quite dumbfounded.

As Liu Zheng watched the two leave, with Huang Mingze angrily stuffing money into his follower’s hands, a smile couldn’t help but spread across his face.

At this moment, Liu Suqiu felt somewhat uneasy being embraced by Liu Zheng’s powerful arms.

She wriggled her body a little and then broke free from Liu Zheng’s embrace.

"Alright, Xiao Zheng, hurry up and help me tidy things up. The sales here are not good; I want to find a new spot to keep selling my stuff," she said.

Gratefully looking at Liu Suqiu, Liu Zheng answered with a yes, and then happily began to help her organize the clothes on the stall.

Meanwhile, Huang Mingze left the crowd and quickly got into his luxury car.

After getting into the car, he was so annoyed that he angrily slammed his fist on the leather seat, and then a cold light burst forth from his eyes.

"Immediately, get in touch with Dongcheng Bin for me. I fucking have a task for him to carry out." 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

The follower beside him, the guy with glasses, upon hearing Huang Mingze’s words, immediately picked up his phone, found Dongcheng Bin’s number, and dialed it.

Once the call connected, he quickly passed the phone to Huang Mingze.

"Hey, Blondie, it’s me! Yes, I order you to give that little punk from just now a good beating."

"Right, it’s him. Go ahead, just don’t kill him. It would be best if you could cripple him."

After giving the instructions, Huang Mingze hung up the phone instantly.

Putting down the phone, his gaze, through the car window, fixed on Liu Zheng, with an incredibly malicious expression on his face.

By this time, Liu Zheng had finished helping Liu Suqiu pack up, and the two of them got onto an electric tricycle together.

Liu Zheng started the vehicle, intending to take Liu Suqiu to find a place to eat.

While driving, Liu Zheng said, "I really have to thank you for today. If it weren’t for you turning down that kid’s offer, I’d have gone from the ground right up into the sky."

After saying this, Liu Zheng paused for a thought, then inevitably asked, "But, about the thirty thousand he offered you just now, didn’t it tempt you at all?"

"Thank me for what? The whole thing stemmed from me to begin with. It was clear to me that his so-called heroic rescue was all prearranged."

Liu Suqiu blinked her large eyes, but she let out a sigh and said, "Only, it was fifty thousand yuan after all. To say I wasn’t tempted, how could that be possible?"

"If you were tempted, then why did you still turn him down?"

"Nonsense! Even a fool could see that there must be some conflict between you two. I didn’t quite believe what he said. It’s likely that he was using that offer to use me against you deliberately, just exploiting me, playing me for a fool."

These words were said by Liu Suqiu in a half-joking manner.

After finishing her words, Liu Suqiu’s expression turned solemn. She locked eyes with Liu Zheng and said, deliberately enunciating each word, "But honestly speaking, this Huang Mingze seems very frivolous. I don’t like such a person."

Indeed, this was the real reason why Liu Suqiu had turned down Huang Mingze.

After hearing Liu Suqiu’s words, Liu Zheng’s heart finally settled completely.

It seems this girl really isn’t dumb!

Thinking of this, Liu Zheng couldn’t help but think about Liu Suqiu selling goods and asked, "So, how much money did you make this morning?"

"That’s just it!"

Feeling Liu Zheng inquiring about her business, she couldn’t help but sigh and said, "I don’t know what’s going on, but the women here in the eastern part of the city are all so conservative. They actually don’t like these kinds of clothes. You should know, the clothes I gave your wife and my sister, they both really liked them."

At this point, Liu Zheng suddenly understood.

I knew it!

Both Sister-in-Law and Sister Su Mei are people without money, how could they possibly wear such flashy clothes, which don’t look like something a rural woman would wear.

So the main culprit is this girl!

With a thought, Liu Zheng glanced over at Liu Suqiu’s bundle of clothes.

After thinking for a moment, Liu Zheng said, "Honestly, if you can’t sell these clothes, it’s not because the women in the eastern part are conservative, but rather you have a problem with your approach."

"A problem with my approach?"

"Yes!"

Liu Zheng nodded with certainty and analyzed, "Think about it, these clothes are very revealing and sexy. You setting up a stall here to sell, and women buying right at their doorsteps—if the neighbors saw them, how embarrassed and shy they would feel!"

"Besides, now that online shopping is so convenient, it’s much more discreet for them to buy online! So it’s normal for you not to be able to sell anything now."

After hearing Liu Zheng’s words, Liu Suqiu thought about it and couldn’t help but slap her thigh.

"Right! You’re absolutely correct, that’s exactly the situation."

Liu Zheng really did awaken one in a dream; he made Liu Suqiu have an epiphany.

"No wonder I haven’t sold a single piece all day."

Liu Suqiu frowned in thought, but couldn’t help feeling a bit worried, "How am I going to sell all this stock in my hands?"

Liu Zheng smiled slightly, having already come up with a plan, so he said, "Don’t worry about it, I’ve already thought of something. Let’s head back for today, and later I’ll take you to a market with lots of people, I guarantee you’ll be able to make some money then."

"Alright! That would be great." Liu Suqiu nodded, then slapped Liu Zheng’s shoulder and said, "You promised me this; if you can’t deliver, I’ll sell all the clothes to you."

Liu Suqiu, in a great mood at this point, started joking with Liu Zheng.

Liu Zheng nodded and said repeatedly, "Alright, alright, it’s a deal. If I can’t do it, you can make me wear the clothes."

The two of them chatted and laughed as they made their way towards the outskirts of the city.

The electric tricycle wasn’t fast, it wobbled along, seeming very leisurely.

But just then, the sound of a car engine roaring came from behind.

And it was accompanied by the urgent honking of a car horn.

Liu Zheng was startled inside, then turned to look back.

Behind him was a black sedan, which was rapidly gaining on them.

The car was closing in fast, the horn blaring urgently, and it looked like it was about to catch up.

Liu Zheng, with no other choice, had to adjust his direction to make way for the other vehicle.

He thought the car was in a hurry to get somewhere. He made room, and expected the car would be able to pass.

But then.

To Liu Zheng’s surprise, the other car didn’t let up; it too changed direction, following the electric tricycle and heading straight towards them.
