Su Xiaowan frowns when her second cousin, Song Yonghui, asked this question.
She paused for a moment before saying, "Second cousin, have you ever heard of the saying 'even thieves have principles'?"
"I have. But what's its relation to the question I just asked?"
"Have you heard about 'virtuous merchants' then? Isn't that what we're doing? Although we're making money, we're also contributing to our country."
"Look, when our products hit the market, they bring joy to so many people and meet their beauty needs. At the same time, they help promote the country's economic prosperity..."
Su Xiaowan ramblings on, delivering formidable-sounding words, contrasting with the image of a street peddler. It left second cousin Song Yonghui speechless, making him feel that she had a point.
"Cousin, by your description, we are absolutely virtuous merchants, distinct from street peddlers."
