Rebirth of the Scumbag and the Retribution of the White Lotus

The next morning, Li Ting, feeling a mixture of nervousness and excitement, made an appointment with the vendor to meet the head of the shopping mall. The mall was located in the town's busiest area, with exquisite decoration and a large flow of people. It was one of the few high-end shopping malls in the town.

Li Ting took a deep breath, calmed her emotions, and followed the vendor into the mall. As she walked, she observed the mall's layout and considered the huge changes this opportunity might bring.

After a while, the vendor led her into an office. A neatly dressed man, seemingly in his early forties, stood up, extended his hand, and introduced himself with a smile. "Ms. Li, right? My last name is Wang. I'm in charge of purchasing for the mall. I heard you have some very good handmade items."

Li Ting shook his hand calmly and said with a smile, "Yes, Manager Wang, some of my handmade products are selling well at the market. I heard that the mall is interested in them, so I came here to see if there is any opportunity for cooperation."

Manager Wang nodded, motioned for Li Ting to sit down, and then asked her some questions about product production, material sourcing, and costs. Li Ting answered clearly, explaining every detail in an orderly manner, especially the quality and creativity of the products, emphasizing the care she put into each piece.

Manager Wang nodded slightly, a look of satisfaction gradually appearing on his face. "Ms. Li, you've done a great job. Our mall really hopes to offer some unique handicraft products to give customers a unique shopping experience. What are your requirements regarding pricing and settlement?"

Li Ting thought for a moment and said cautiously, "I hope the price can be a little higher. After all, handmade products are quite expensive, and each one takes a lot of time and effort. I hope our cooperation can be a win-win situation. What do you think?"

Manager Wang smiled and nodded. "That's no problem. Our store is willing to pay a reasonable price. The key is to let customers see the value of these products." He paused and added, "How about this? You can provide a batch of samples first. We'll test sell them in the store for a month. If the results are good, we can discuss a longer-term cooperation. What do you think?"

A glimmer of joy flashed in Li Ting's eyes. This way of cooperation was undoubtedly the safest choice for her. "Okay, then I'll prepare the samples according to your requirements and send them to you within a week. Is that okay with you?"

Manager Wang nodded in approval: "No problem, we look forward to your products."

After returning home, Li Ting was in high spirits and couldn't wait to start preparing samples. She knew that the opportunity to cooperate with the mall was hard-won and she had to take it seriously. Just as she was busy, Zhao Shufang suddenly walked into the room and said sarcastically, "Wow, sister, you've been really busy lately. What's going on? Are there any good ways to make money?"

Li Ting knew she had something to say when she heard it, but she didn't fight back immediately. She just smiled faintly and said, "It's just a small business. I can't compare with you."

Zhao Shufang snorted coldly and said sarcastically, "Hmph, a small business? Why advertise it everywhere? I heard you're going to cooperate with a shopping mall this time. Are you afraid of failure and want to find more people to support you?"

Li Ting understood that Zhao Shufang was trying to provoke her, but she remained calm and replied gently, "Instead of being jealous of me, Shufang, wouldn't it be better for you to find something to do?"

Zhao Shufang's expression changed, and she sneered, "Don't be complacent, sister. Do you really think that your little ability can change everything? Don't forget, no one in the family is really on your side."

Her words were so blunt that Li Ting's heart sank slightly, but she quickly regained her composure: "Anyway, I make money through my own hard work, and there's nothing wrong with that."

Zhao Shufang smiled coldly, turned around and left. Before leaving, she did not forget to give her a contemptuous look: "Sister, you will pay the price for your arrogance." After that, she left angrily.

Li Ting watched her back, a glint of determination in her eyes. She knew Zhao Shufang would never let her go easily, and she couldn't give up easily either. To completely escape her past fate, she had to forge ahead, even if the path was fraught with thorns.

A few days later, Li Ting had prepared dozens of meticulously crafted handicrafts, each one meticulously crafted. She sent the products to a shopping mall for a trial sale, and Manager Wang praised her dedication. Everything went smoothly.

Just then, she ran into her old friend, Xiaoli. Ever since she'd seen Li Ting selling her wares at the market, Xiaoli had admired her immensely and had been quietly following her development. She was delighted to see Li Ting's new opportunity.

"Li Ting, you are so amazing! You can actually cooperate with the shopping mall!" Xiaoli said excitedly.

Li Ting smiled slightly, feeling grateful in her heart: "I have to thank you for this. If you hadn't encouraged me to go to the market that day, I wouldn't have the opportunity today."

Xiaoli waved her hand and smiled nonchalantly, "We're good friends, so it's only natural. But since we're working together, don't forget to take me flying next time!"

Li Ting jokingly said, "Then you have to keep a close eye on me. The days of suffering with me are still ahead."

The two smiled at each other, their mutual understanding giving them greater confidence in the future. Xiaoli's support warmed Li Ting's heart, and she understood how important it is to have a true friend in this strange and complex world.

After a month, the trial sales at the mall achieved good results. Li Ting's handmade products, with their unique design and exquisite workmanship, won the favor of many customers, and the sales data reported by the mall was also very satisfactory.

Manager Wang asked her to meet again, and his tone was a little excited: "Ms. Li, our mall is very satisfied with your products, and the customer response is very good. I would like to discuss a long-term cooperation plan with you."

Li Ting was secretly delighted, but remained calm on the surface: "Thank you, Manager Wang, for your recognition. I also hope to have a more long-term and stable cooperation."

Manager Wang smiled and presented a preliminary cooperation contract. Li Ting carefully read it and found the terms very reasonable and the cooperation profit was good. Everything seemed to be going in the right direction, and Li Ting's long-suppressed anxiety gradually eased.

After the contract was signed, Manager Wang offered to promote her products, which flattered Li Ting. She had never imagined that her small business, which she had worked so hard for for so long, would receive such attention.

After returning home, Li Ting finally had a chance to calm down and think about her future. She knew that Zhao Shufang would not easily stop her harassment, but this could not stop her from moving forward.

In the dead of night, Li Ting stood by the window, gazing at the night view in the distance, and silently said to herself: "This is just the beginning. I will never be trampled under anyone's feet again. In this life, I will rely on my own strength to win everything that belongs to me."

She is no longer the weak Li Ting, but a warrior who has grown up in the wind and rain. She knows that the road ahead is still full of challenges, but she is ready to face any difficulties and move forward.
