Chapter 223

When she swiped her card to enter the company, Huo Huo Xueying remembered the half-jar of honey she had generously given away yesterday, and her heart trembled with regret.

She was too stupid, really.

She knew Tantan's farm honey was good, but she didn't expect it to be this good. She had scooped a bit too much with the spoon yesterday and drank a bit too much honey; half a jar was truly gone.

She herself had even gulped down three spoonfuls!

—That's what you get for being generous, for being stupidly generous!

Before entering the office, she condemned herself severely.

However, Tantan said this stuff sells for a high price, so it seems it's not just bragging. Although she gave away half a bottle, now that everyone in the company knows the effect, it might drive her business later, so it's not a total loss.

Comforting herself this way, her heart gradually calmed down.

Walking into the office, she saw everyone gathered together talking. Seeing her arrive, they swarmed over like a hive of bees:

"Huo Xueying, did you ask Song Tan? How much is this honey exactly?"

"Exactly, hurry up and ask. Aren't you two the closest?"

A group of clever people gathered together, their abacus beads clicking everywhere—

If the person closest to her asks and buys a lot, maybe it will be cheaper? This stuff definitely isn't cheap. Farm honey on the market is already over a hundred yuan per jin; hers must at least double that, right?

Or... even more expensive?

It was precisely because of this that everyone suppressed their excitement. Huo Huo Xueying, meanwhile, examined everyone's complexion one by one. She noticed that the skin on the younger ones looked noticeably smoother, while for the older ones, the effect on their complexion wasn't particularly obvious. But looking at the relaxed and comfortable expressions around their eyes and brows, she figured it likely had more of an effect on their bodies.

For some reason, she felt a sense of relief in her heart.

After all, if everyone had the same outstanding effect on their faces as she did, it wouldn't necessarily be her turn to snatch it.

Actually, she was purely overthinking it.

For them, it was just because they hadn't been exposed to it before, so the effect seemed much more prominent.

It's just like switching to new skincare products; the experience in the first two days is always especially good. There are still effects later on, but they won't be as obvious.

Otherwise, if there really were such effects every day, with Tantan's skin-flaying personality, it would be a miracle if she sold it for 1,000 yuan.

Huo Huo Xueying made up her mind, but on the surface, she complained: "You guys are still talking about it. Tantan told me the honey is very expensive and told me to keep it for myself to drink. As a result, I wasn't careful and it all went to you guys."

Hearing this, everyone's joy at taking advantage became even more apparent. They urged her immediately:

"Hurry, hurry, I've wiped the table for you, and the water is boiled. Did you bring the honey? What are you drinking this morning? I have rose tea here, do you want to add another spoonful?"

Although they didn't state the point, every word hid the main focus.

Pair after pair of eyes looked at her expectantly, wishing she would call Song Tan immediately.

However, contemporary young people would rather not call if they don't have to, and Huo Huo Xueying was the same. She just honestly opened WeChat and then dutifully typed out a line:

【Tantan, how do you sell your honey? Many people in our company want some, the effect is really good.】

Everyone:... Just like that?

"What else?"

"You should at least ask since we're buying a lot, if we can get a discount or a promotional price."

Huo Huo Xueying said: "This honey is so effective, who knows if there's even any stock left for us? Let's not rush to ask for a discount."

That's true too.

Everyone sat back in their seats. The older ones rubbed their stomachs, and the younger ones touched their faces. The entire office fell into a strange atmosphere of expectation and anxiety, yet inexplicably peaceful.

Until the skin-flaying boss walked into the company again. Subconsciously, his footsteps paused.

Then, observing everyone busy at work, he couldn't help but mutter to himself:

I clearly checked the surveillance last night, they didn't get off work until 9 o'clock, so why does everyone look so good this morning?

No, I have to check again.

Song Tan saw Huo Huo Xueying's message immediately, but she could quote prices to strangers.

As for this group of acquaintances in the company...

She thought for a moment and quickly went to ask: "Brother Zhang Yanping, the mini-program and online store we talked about before, have you set them up?"

Zhang Zhang Yanping had indeed been busy for a while: "The photos for the online store, the ones taken with a phone aren't good; the resolution is too poor and they look very cheap, lacking class."

"But the mini-program for group buying, I've already set it up. This only requires a deposit and providing our proof to start selling directly—do you want to list anything now?"

Song Tan nodded: "Acquaintances from before want to buy some honey, and it's not easy to quote a price. You list the honey and the vegetables from the garden on the group-buying program. I'll send the link to the group chat in a bit."

This way, delivering vegetables to the city later will be more efficient. And for those sending via express, it saves me from having to confirm payments in individual chat boxes one by one.

"Okay," Zhang Zhang Yanping took out his phone: "I'll list them now. As for the photos for the online store, do you want to think about whether to use a camera at home to take them yourself, or send them to a professional?"

Photography for still life...

Song Tan thought for a moment and simply said: "Ask those who come fishing, who knows how to take photos, and who is willing to bring their own equipment to take photos of our stuff?"

"If the photos are up to standard, I'll give them a jin of vegetables from the garden each."

Zhang Zhang Yanping waited for a while and found there was no follow-up—

"That's it?"

Song Tan was also puzzled: "What else do you want? Otherwise, I'll send 20 more earthworms."

If you want low cost, Tantan really knows how to do low cost!

Zhang Zhang Yanping was amazed, turned his head, and started sending messages in his fishing group again.

By the pond, seeing one of them harvest a large grass carp again, the onlookers couldn't help but become even more envious. They gathered over:

"Share a piece of that earthworm with me."

This boss is incredibly stingy. You have to fish for three consecutive days, and only when you come back after the gap period will he give you two extra earthworms.

Those red earthworms, it's not that they are picky, but they are as thin as anything! One is at most three or four centimeters long, and you have to be frugal when threading the hook.

Yet, such an inconspicuous thing consistently outperforms all their bait; it gets bitten as soon as it hits the water!

Of course, some fish are cunning and run away after eating. Others that didn't manage to run away ended up in their buckets.

Over time, everyone knows these earthworms are good stuff, but the boss refuses to give more no matter what. The ones they dig up themselves aren't the same thing.

You say you come fishing every day, how much money have you spent? And he's still so stingy about earthworms!

Everyone cursed in their hearts, but when signing up, they were still more enthusiastic than anyone else.

Hearing the sound in the group chat now, thinking about the taste of the boss's food, and then looking at those pathetic earthworms—

Coming! I'll write a bit more tonight, but the time isn't very stable. Everyone can check at twelve o'clock or when you wake up tomorrow morning.
