Chapter 40: Chapter 40: Sang Qiao: You want to eat this?
“I feel relieved seeing you all like this,” Old Madam Si comnted with satisfaction, then turned her attention to the diligently working caraman behind her. “Are they still filming?”
“Yes.”
Old Madam Si beca even more curious and peered into the cara. “Can netizens see us from here?”
“That’s right, it’s a live broadcast. If you open the streaming room, you can even see the comnts the netizens are typing,” Sang Qiao patiently explained to the elderly lady.
Old Madam Si picked up her phone from the table and handed it to Sang Qiao. “Qiaoqiao, could you trouble yourself and open our streaming room for ?”
“Of course.”
As Sang Qiao’s fingers swiftly navigated the screen, entering the app and opening the streaming room, a barrage of comnts popped up. [Grandma, look at , does your family lack a granddaughter? I don’t eat much, just two big bowls per al.]
[Let go of Grandma Si and let co!]
[Grandma, can the hero-saving-damsel act I prepared for you capture your heart?]
[Kisses for Grandma Si, I love you.]
[Grandma is so beautiful, and her skin care is top-notch!]
“These kids are so enthusiastic. Is this one declaring love to ? Is this one complinting for looking young?” Old Madam Si couldn’t help but laugh with enjoynt as she perused the comnts.
“What’s there to see in these young folks’ nonsense chatter?” Old Sir Si grumbled without raising his voice.
A bunch of slick-tongued netizens of unknown age—just a couple of flattering words and they’ve got the old lady so amused?
Old Madam Si gave him a disdainful look without mincing her words. “Go on and be sour. With that sourpuss of a face, no one’s going to complint you.”
Old Sir Si replied coolly, “What’s there to be sour about?”
“Pfft.” Si Jing couldn’t help but laugh out loud. Only grandma could make the imposing grandpa feel deflated.

After dinner, Si Chenli finally took Sang Qiao away from the Si Family ho. It had gotten dark outside, and as they entered the Siheyuan, they saw the other guests standing around.
Lu Tianxin had an unpleasant expression, openly displaying her bad mood, which Gu Nanmo found sowhat repulsive. Wasn’t it normal to occasionally fail a task?
[I feel like Lu Tianxin has such a bad temper. The Gu Family wasn’t ho and she couldn’t complete a task, so she just shows her displeasure without considering Gu Nanmo’s feelings.]
[I’m also speechless. Before, when Lin Weichen was being nice, she found fault in everything. What kind of person does she really want?]
[She even called ng Wangge pretentious. All I can say is, ng’s family education is indeed strict. Today when they visited, Mr. ng nearly gave Lin Weichen a thrashing until it was explained it was for a romance reality show.]
[It’s hilarious, nobody’s situation is more outrageous than Sang Jiao’s. Mrs. Yao gave her five million to leave, saying she wasn’t worthy of her son, haha, what an era.]
“Of the four pairs of guests today, only one team failed to complete their task. The other guests may cook and rest. Lu Tianxin’s team, follow the staff to go weeding.”
After the director uttered these words, Lu Tianxin’s face beca utterly mortified. “Why should I suffer with him when he didn’t complete the task?”
“Because you’re teammates, you should share weal and woe. The person you choose, you must be responsible for, understand?”
The director’s voice also unconsciously beca much louder. He might have been easygoing, but that didn’t an he’d always tolerate their unreasonable behavior.
Lu Tianxin often showed displeasure and made other guests uncomfortable, and he had turned a blind eye. Now, she spoke such irresponsible words.
Lu Tianxin, her cheeks red with embarrassnt yet unable to retort, ended up following the staff up the mountain.
Sang Qiao was too exhausted today to bother with making an elaborate al, so she simply cooked two bowls of vegetable and egg noodles. Luckily, her man was not picky.
After dinner, the director stopped her and sneakily handed her a tightly wrapped box.
“Rember to live stream and sell these later tonight, the commission is split fifty-fifty. Keep a hold on your popularity.”
“Is it really appropriate for to sell this?” Sang Qiao looked at the corner of the box in her hand and felt sowhat suffocated. Although the item was commonly used, to brazenly sell it in front of a cara… was that proper?
“What’s the problem? You just need to display it.”
Sang Qiao was even more surprised; she surely couldn’t be expected to pour water into it to test its durability, right?
“Display it too?”
“How else are the viewers going to know what color it is, what flavor?” the director frowned at her, only able to conclude that Sang Qiao was too simple-minded, infuriatingly so!
“…Can’t they just see for themselves?” Sang Qiao thought such things were clearly labeled on the box.
“If you want to sell more, you need to learn how to display the product in various ways, and get Mr. Si involved as well.” The director massaged his forehead, frustrated by Sang Qiao’s lack of initiative as a salesperson.
She was actually considering letting the netizens check it out themselves?
Sang Qiao: “.”
Heading back to her room with that embarrassingly intimate item, her mood was heavy, and she even covered the box very tightly.
She hadn’t expected that she, soone who had never even held a man’s hand, would one day have to sell condoms?
And to display them too, how was she supposed to cope with that?
“What are you holding?” Si Chenli naturally noticed her furtively hidden item and slightly furrowed his brow.
“It’s sothing I have to sell tonight, so brace yourself to be thick-skinned,” Sang Qiao said slowly, pulling the box out of her hand and placing it face down on the table.
She bent over to reach for the button, turned on the live stream cara, and then dragged a chair over to sit down.
She pointed to the box in her hand and with much effort began her introduction, “This product is now in the shopping cart below, it’s durable, doesn’t leak, and if you aren’t planning on having kids, I recomnd using it. After all, taking dicine is harmful to your health, and there are a variety of flavors to choose from.”
[A box of chewing gum that doesn’t leak, what kind of ‘durable’ is this ghost talking about?]
[What does not wanting to have kids have to do with chewing gum?]
[Hiss, could it be what I’m thinking? From Sister Qiao’s and director’s conversation just now and that disbelief in her eyes, did she misunderstand sothing?]
[Folks, did the shopping cart display the wrong items, or did I stumble into the wrong live stream?]
“Pitch in as well,” Sang Qiao hadn’t forgotten the director’s instructions. She pushed the box toward the man, her head lowered as she stared at the screen, daring not to look around haphazardly.
Si Chenli’s gaze fell on the tiny words “chewing gum” at the top of the box, his eyebrows slightly raised. He opened the package calmly, his vein-lined, well-defined hands evident.
In no ti, he took out a small pack of chewing gum, the aroma of faint strawberries wafting as he unwrapped it.
“Want to try?”
“You want to eat this thing?” Sang Qiao’s speechless remark had just ended when she turned her head and caught sight of the chewing gum, completely dumbfounded.
Seeing her surprised expression, and with even his ears reddening, the man couldn’t help but laugh softly, “This thing? Which thing?”
As his words ended, he deftly took out a piece and put it in his mouth. The faint strawberry aroma spread around, a fragrant and sweet flavor.
Not particularly delicious.
But unexpectedly sweet.
Sang Qiao looked embarrassed, realizing she had misunderstood, and she reached for the opened pack, pulled it out for a closer look, and indeed, it was all chewing gum inside.
