Chen Baiyi pursed her lips. She had to ask He Xiao.
She jogged to He Xiao's place and barged in without knocking. She saw He Xiao ordering his subordinates around like a boss.
Looking at it this way, Chen Baiyi felt that what that woman had said was true, but she still wanted to ask him personally.
When those people saw her barge in, they glared at her fiercely. However, Chen Baiyi didn't notice. She wanted to ask He Xiao if what that woman said was true.
When He Xiao saw that Chen Baiyi rushed over to find him, he thought that it was something important. He stopped talking and stood up to calm Chen Baiyi down. He swooped her up in his arms.
"Why are you in such a hurry? What happened? Tell me."
He Xiao's concerned tone shocked the people around him. He was behaving too uncharacteristically.
He Xiao naturally didn't care what the others thought. He waved his hand and let them go. Although those people were surprised, they quickly left.
Chen Baiyi struggled to get down, so He Xiao put her down. Just as he let go, he heard Chen Baiyi's questioning voice.
"You're a big shot?"
Upon hearing Chen Baiyi's question, He Xiao knew that he couldn't hide it anymore, but he didn't want to hide it from her either.
"I'm not a big shot, but I do have a gold mine."
When Chen Baiyi heard He Xiao's words, she couldn't hide the envy on her face. He was so rich!
However, it had nothing to do with her. Chen Baiyi knew this clearly. He Xiao was rich, but it was none of her business.
He Xiao saw that Chen Baiyi's expression changed again and again. One moment, she looked envious, the next moment, she looked aloof, and even a little serious. He Xiao felt like laughing, but he didn't show it.
Chen Baiyi said to He Xiao solemnly, "You don't have to help me buy pig heads in the future."
Before He Xiao could ask why, Chen Baiyi ran away again.
After running for more than half the way, Chen Baiyi stopped to rest while panting.
As she rested, Chen Baiyi pondered over it. There was no way to earn money from selling pig head meat anymore. She had to think of another way.
Of course, she wanted to earn money. Besides, she had been in the pig head business for a long time. She had a good reputation, so she felt terrible about giving up this business.
However, Chen Baiyi didn't want to owe He Xiao a favor. In the beginning, she thought that this was what He Xiao did for a living and that he was only helping her bring one or two pig heads along the way. She didn't expect that he wasn't a second-tier trafficker, so how could she ask him for help?
What should she do?
As she walked, Chen Baiyi saw a bamboo forest. She had an idea!
She could make bamboo baskets!
Chen Baiyi first made one to two of them and used them as test subjects. After they were done, she realized that they could indeed be sold for a profit. The more she made, the more motivated she became.
Soon, Chen Baiyi got the hang of it. Not only did she make the bamboo basket sturdy, but she also made some beautiful patterns before she brought them to the market to sell. They were all sold out in an instant, and many people who didn't get to buy one asked if they could reserve one.
When Chen Baiyi saw that business was so good, she was also very happy. Since there was no reason to refuse business, she said that they could reserve it. Originally, everyone wanted to leave after seeing that the bamboo basket had been sold out, but when they heard that they could reserve it, they immediately placed the order and specified the bamboo basket pattern they wanted.
Chen Baiyi was tired from writing all the order details, but she still hadn't finished!
