The daughter was ruthlessly driven out of the wealthy family and went to the countryside

Chapter 1268 Are you really that heartless?

Y City.

Qin Yaoyao was extremely anxious: "What's wrong with you? How did these medicinal herbs get damp? Damp is one thing, but they've also grown mold. Can you still use them?"

"It rained heavily the day before yesterday, and we managed to salvage it, but no one can keep up with the old man's speed. There's nothing we can do," the herbal medicine vendor said helplessly. "It's just a little bit moldy; it won't affect its use." Seeing Qin Yaoyao's displeasure, he quickly tried to smooth things over, "How about this, I'll give you half price?"

As he spoke, he winked at Qin Yaoyao, and everyone knew what he meant.

Qin Yaoyao's face immediately darkened: "What do you mean? Passing off inferior goods as superior ones? Are you that heartless?"

The herbal medicine vendor, seemingly unfazed, said, "That's a harsh way to put it. I didn't do it on purpose. Now that there's a problem with the herbs, we have to fix it, don't we?"

Qin Yaoyao's tone became a little urgent: "Solve it? Then replace it with better medicinal herbs. What, you still want to sell these medicinal herbs to me?"

The herbal medicine vendor didn't seem to care: "These herbs only have a few mold spots. They can be dried in the sun. It's no big deal."

Qin Yaoyao was furious. She hadn't expected the herbal medicine shop owner to be so shameless and heartless. She realized she had made a terrible mistake in choosing to work with such a person: "Let me tell you, if you don't replace the herbs for me, I will never buy from you again."

The herbal medicine shop owner didn't take Qin Yaoyao's words to heart: "No, it's nothing, there's no need to make such a fuss."

Qin Yaoyao said angrily, "I'll give you one day to replace the medicinal herbs with better ones, otherwise our cooperation is over."

The herbal medicine vendor frowned: "This is a ton of herbs. You can just change them in a day?"

Qin Yaoyao was about to lose her temper: "I need these medicinal herbs urgently, so I'm only giving you one day."

The herbal medicine vendor glanced at Qin Yaoyao: "It can't be done in one day. Why don't you just transport these herbs away? I'll give you half price."

Qin Yaoyao's voice was filled with anger: "I don't need money, I need good medicinal herbs."

The herbal medicine shopkeeper was certain that Qin Yaoyao wouldn't be able to gather that many herbs, so he was quite confident: "These are all the herbs I have left. If you're not satisfied, there's nothing I can do."

Qin Yaoyao was genuinely furious: "Then you can wait to be sued."

The herbal medicine vendor remained calm: "Miss Qin, there's no need to be in such a hurry. I understand you're in a rush to use these herbs, but I don't have any more, and you can't buy this many herbs around here either. So I've had someone come and dry them to process them. They'll be ready in no time. What do you think?"

Qin Yaoyao's anger was tinged with sarcasm: "Is this how you usually do business?"

The herbal medicine vendor said, "Definitely not, but isn't this a special case for you?"

Just as Qin Yaoyao was about to say something, the phone suddenly rang. She looked at it and immediately answered, "Sister-in-law."

Shen Xuening's gentle voice came through the phone: "Yaoyao, how's it going on your end? When will the medicinal herbs be delivered? We need them here."

Qin Yaoyao said helplessly, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I messed things up."

Shen Xuening immediately asked, "What happened?"

Qin Yaoyao recounted what had happened.

Shen Xuening's voice deepened: "We don't need those medicinal herbs anymore. We should try our best to get the other party to refund the deposit, and at the same time, we should try to purchase medicinal herbs from other places. I will also try to find a way."

Qin Yaoyao apologized: "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry."

Shen Xuening said calmly, "It's not your fault, it's all the fault of these unscrupulous merchants. Just do as I say and don't cooperate with them again in the future."

Qin Yaoyao felt a little relieved: "I understand, sister-in-law."

Shen Xuening knew that Qin Yaoyao was no match for those businessmen and it was normal for her to be scammed. She didn't blame her at all. Instead, she told her, "Don't worry, take your time."

Qin Yaoyao finally calmed down: "Yes, sister-in-law."

The situation was a bit tricky. Shen Xuening hung up the phone, her delicate eyebrows furrowing slightly. After thinking for a moment, she dialed Li Suyue's number: "Suyue."

Li Suyue was pleasantly surprised: "Xue Ning, why did you call me?"

The matter was somewhat urgent, so Shen Xuening went straight to the point: "I need a lot of medicinal herbs. Could you ask your herb supplier to get me a batch?"

Li Suyue replied without hesitation, "Sure, but since you suddenly need medicinal herbs, we might not be able to gather many."

Shen Xuening said, "Gather as much as you can. I'll give you a list. As long as the quality is good, it doesn't matter if it's a bit expensive."

Li Suyue said easily, "That makes things easier. I know quite a few medicinal herb suppliers."

Shen Xuening said gratefully, "Then I'll leave it to you."

Li Suyue happily agreed: "No problem."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Xuening called all the herbal medicine dealers who had bought herbs from her. These people also had some influence that could be utilized.

However, good news soon came from Qin Yaoyao's side. She found a good herbal medicine supplier who could gather a lot of herbs and deliver them to the factory in three days.

Shen Xuening breathed a sigh of relief when she received Qin Yaoyao's call.

We've pre-sold so many skincare products; if we can't ship them out, the losses will be huge.

Qin Zizhou poured Shen Xuening a glass of water: "Do you want to rest for a bit? I've noticed you've lost weight recently."

Shen Xuening rubbed her temples: "There was nothing we could do. There were some problems with the raw materials for our skincare products, and it took us a long time to resolve them."

Qin Zizhou asked with concern, "What went wrong?"

Shen Xuening explained to Qin Zizhou, and then said, "People nowadays have no foresight at all. They don't even know how to maintain good relationships with clients like me. Instead, they try to bribe my employees. I don't know what to say."

Having seen far too much ugliness, Qin Zizhou was used to it and said, "So they can only be medicine dealers."

Shen Xuening smiled and said, "Yes, I won't be working with him again."

……

Qin Yaoyao gathered the medicinal herbs again and had them quickly transported to City A by truck. Then she went to talk to the herb shop owner about getting her deposit back.

Upon hearing this, the herbal medicine vendor immediately became displeased: "I had herbs for you, but you didn't want them. How can you blame me?"

Qin Yaoyao was filled with disgust. She had seen far too much ugliness in her business dealings: "The herbs I want are good herbs, not moldy ones. You should return my deposit immediately, and we will never cooperate again."

The herbal medicine supplier reneged on the agreement, saying, "The deposit is non-refundable. We made that clear when we started working together."

Qin Yaoyao frowned deeply: "But I asked for good medicinal herbs, what kind of garbage did you give me? How can you not refund my deposit for such garbage?"

The herbal medicine vendor acted like a rogue: "Anyway, I delivered the herbs to you on time and fulfilled the contract, so the deposit is non-refundable."

Qin Yaoyao said in a deep voice, "If you continue to be so stubborn, I will definitely sue you."

The herbal medicine vendor seemed indifferent: "Then go ahead and sue."

"Fine, then you can wait to be sued." Qin Yaoyao didn't say anything more. Xifulai's legal team was very capable and they weren't afraid of a herbal medicine boss like this.

The herbal medicine shop owner curled his lip; he didn't believe Qin Yaoyao would actually sue him for such a trivial matter.

However, he underestimated the company's legal team, and he received a lawyer's letter in less than five days.

When he saw the lawyer's letter, he finally panicked and quickly contacted Qin Yaoyao. But when Qin Yaoyao heard it was her call, she hung up immediately. Now he's in a hurry? What was he doing before?

The herbal medicine shop owner panicked completely, but since things had come to this point, he had no choice but to file a lawsuit.

Without a doubt, he failed to fulfill the contract and even attempted to bribe Qin Yaoyao. Qin Yaoyao recorded all of this, which is irrefutable evidence that he cannot deny.

The deposit should be refunded if necessary, and compensation should be paid if appropriate, as the losses have been substantial.

……

Qin Yaoyao returned to City A.

Shen Xuening did not blame her for her poor performance. Instead, she immediately arranged a place for her to eat something delicious.

As Qin Yaoyao ate the long-awaited delicious food, she was deeply moved: "Sister-in-law, you are so kind."

“Since you’re calling me sister-in-law now, I’m definitely going to treat you better.” Shen Xuening poured Qin Yaoyao a drink. “Eat slowly. You’ve had a tough time these past few days; your skin has gotten a bit tanned.”

Qin Yaoyao waved her hand: "My skin is fine, it's just that I didn't handle things well, sister-in-law, I'm sorry."

Shen Xuening said, "There's no need to apologize. You're young and inexperienced, so it's normal to get scammed. You'll be fine as long as you get scammed a second time."

Qin Yaoyao said firmly, "Definitely not. If that were the case, I would despise myself."

"I believe in you." Shen Xuening still highly approves of Qin Yaoyao. Everyone needs to grow, and she believes that after these experiences, Qin Yaoyao will suffer less and less in the future.

Qin Yaoyao couldn't like Shen Xuening even more: "Sister-in-law, my cousin is truly blessed to have married you."

Qin Zizhou chimed in, "I think so too."

Shen Xuening smiled and said, "You two stop singing in unison and eat properly. But speaking of which, Yao Yao, you've worked hard these past few days. From now on, all your expenses in City A will be on my tab so I can properly thank you."

Qin Yaoyao hugged Shen Xuening's arm: "Sister-in-law is so nice."

……

Tsinghua University and Peking University.

Tao Yun and Shen Weifeng arrived at the riverbank near the school to meet Shen Yingying. Tao Yun put down her bag and asked, "Yingying, what did you want to ask us to come here for?"

"Of course there's good news." Chu Mi was standing next to Shen Yingying.

Chu Mi was determined to curry favor with Shen Yingying, so she got involved in Shen Yingying's affairs.

Shen Yingying handed two cups of milk tea to Tao Yun and Shen Weifeng: "Take a sip first, then we'll talk slowly."

Seeing Shen Yingying's mysterious demeanor, the two couldn't help but become interested.

Tao Yun inserted the straw into the milk tea and took a big gulp: "It's the flavor and sweetness I like. Yingying, you understand me so well."

Shen Yingying said with a smile, "I heard you mention it before, and then I remembered it."

Tao Yun felt a surge of emotion: "You're so good to me."

Shen Yingying smiled at Tao Yun, then patted the seat next to her and said, "You two sit down first. I'll tell you my thoughts, and you can give me your answer after you hear them."

The two immediately adopted a posture of listening attentively.

Shen Yingying looked at the three of them and said, "It's like this, I'm planning to start a business. The product is my sister's skincare products. I definitely can't do it all by myself, so I need manpower. I invited you all here to see if you want to join my team."

Their eyes lit up after hearing this.

Tao Yun's eyes sparkled as she said, "Yingying, how come you have such great ideas? Do you know that many people around me ask me to buy skincare products?"

Shen Yingying said, "Even more people around me ask me to buy skincare products, including my mentor. Shouldn't we seize this opportunity?"

Tao Yun said excitedly, "Of course it should be, absolutely! Yingying, no need to say more, I'm ready to join your team."

Shen Weifeng then said, "I'll join too. Besides, your team always needs guys to do the dirty work, so I'll take care of those tasks."

Shen Yingying gave Shen Weifeng a grateful look: "Brother Feng, thanks."

Shen Weifeng smiled and said, "What are you thanking me for? Aren't we family?"

"Yes, yes, we're all family." Shen Yingying's eyes were full of smiles. "Then let's discuss where to set up the office?"

Chumi raised her hand; “I have an idea.”

All eyes turned to her.

Chu Mi smiled and said, "I see there are many shops on campus, we can rent one."

Shen Yingying thought about it. It was a good idea, but then she said, "Chu Mi, all the shops are rented out. Which shop should we rent?"

Chu Mi said confidently, "The shops downstairs are all rented out, but there are still shops upstairs. I discovered them by chance. Shall I take you to see them?"

Shen Yingying nodded: "Let's go in a bit, I have an appointment with someone else."

Tao Yun asked with concern, "Who is it?"

"Here he comes." Shen Yingying looked to her left; it was Tang Yi.

Tang Yi stopped confessing his feelings to Shen Yingying. He was in a different major and lived in a different direction, so it was difficult to meet unless someone specifically asked him to. He was overjoyed when Shen Yingying asked him to meet, and he dropped everything else and rushed over immediately.

Shen Yingying waved to Tang Yi: "Tang Yi."

Tang Yi jogged over: "Yingying, are you all here?" He glanced around and then his gaze returned to Shen Yingying.

The others greeted Tang Yi; they were all people he knew.

Shen Yingying explained, "Tang Yi is my classmate, and we all know each other, so I invited him."

Everyone expressed their understanding.

Shen Yingying looked at Chu Mi: "Xiaomi, take us to see the shops you mentioned." Then she said to Tang Yi, "Let's talk as we walk."

Tang Yi naturally complied: "I'll do whatever you say."

Led by Chumi, the group headed towards the shopping area.

There are many shops on campus, selling snacks, noodle shops, barbershops, and more. There's a wide variety of shops, and many students shop on campus because they're close by.

The second floor above these shops is inconvenient due to the stairs, so few people rent it. As a result, many second-floor shops are vacant, or perhaps they are just empty rooms. These empty rooms are quite suitable for them.
