“If you want to give it a try, you can ask him out. There are still seagulls at the beach! They haven’t all flown away yet. I can give you a day off and have Sun Xiaomei keep an eye on the second floor,” Shao Wanwan said earnestly.

Since Shao Moli is willing to open her heart, she will naturally support her.

Shao Moli shook her head. "Let me think about it some more."

Shao Wanwan knew that it wouldn't be easy to get Shao Moli to open up. Zhou Yuqi must have already done a lot, otherwise, that bottle of water probably wouldn't have even reached Shao Moli.

Shao Wanwan didn't want to dwell on Shao Moli's privacy, so she nodded.

"Sis, Zheyuan and I are going to participate in the school's debate competition. The school forced us to go. We leave next Monday and it will be a five-day trip. Didn't you see the debate team members? They treated Zheyuan and me like invaders." Shao Wanwan sighed helplessly, then lay down on the lawn with Shao Moli.

Just as Shao Moli was about to say something, the announcement came over the loudspeaker instructing them to come and receive their awards.

Shao Wanwan immediately got up with Shao Moli and then obediently went to be a cheerleader.

Because several events were being held at the same time during the school sports meet, and the school did not strictly require students to stand in the sun on the viewing platform, everyone was busy with their own class's competitions, and they would only go over to join in the fun when their own classmates were competing.

Then, after one competition is finished, the awards ceremony begins immediately.

The awards ceremony and the competition were held simultaneously.

At the end of the school sports meet, the school will summarize the results, and the top three teams on the gold medal list will receive team certificates.

The competition offers academic credits, so everyone was quite enthusiastic.

Shao Moli and several other classmates stood on the podium to receive their awards, while Shao Wanwan and Jiang Zheyuan applauded enthusiastically from below the stage.

However, only a few people were scattered around, seemingly indifferent to the team competition.

Shao Moli is rather introverted and doesn't talk much in the dormitory. She was bullied by Li Jing before, and after Li Jing dropped out of school, the students in the class began to isolate her intentionally or unintentionally.

She didn't care at all.

Or rather, it's not that she doesn't care, but that she has more important things to do.

She leaves early and returns late every day, either working at the supermarket or spending time in the library. She cancels almost all class and dormitory activities because gatherings cost money and waste time.

Shao Moli has always lived her life as an isolated island.

Honestly, Zhou Qiyu was the first person to dare to approach Shao Moli and try to build a bridge between her and this isolated island.

However, thinking about Zhou Qiyu's persistence, he really is the kind of person who is persistent and will not give up until he achieves his goal.

Shao Moli needs someone to tell her "I love you" a thousand times before she can believe for even a fraction of a second that someone truly loves her.

After receiving the award, Shao Moli's expression remained indifferent.

She saw on stage that Shao Wanwan's palms were red from clapping.

Shao Wanwan is always the one on stage, but it turns out that she lives just as passionately offstage.

He can still treat her with all his enthusiasm.

Shao Moli was somewhat touched.

She jumped off the podium and grabbed Shao Wanwan, asking, "Why did the school suddenly send you to participate in debates?"

The school's debate team has always been famous, and everyone is scrambling to get in.

Shao Wanwan's sudden arrival, even if it's just for a competition, could lead to her staying on the debate team, so she naturally faced exclusion.

Shao Wanwan is already so busy, how could she have time to organize a debate team?

Shao Moli knew better than anyone that it wasn't something she wanted to do.

"It must be because of the science popularization campaign I did before that rejected menstrual shame. The school leaders found out about it and said that the theme of this debate competition is about women's issues, so they made Zheyuan and me go together. The debate team has been preparing for this competition for a long time. We were just forced to go. Nobody wants to be here!" Shao Wanwan really felt that this method was inappropriate, but after being a working person for so long, she knew that the higher-ups had their own considerations. They just wanted the school to be in the limelight and have a lot of buzz. As for how the people below should coordinate, they had to come up with a solution.

Shao Moli was amused by her directness; sincerity can sometimes be a powerful weapon.

Shao Wanwan relied on her outspokenness to quickly turn around her reputation. At least in her eyes, she had completely come to regard Shao Wanwan as her younger sister, while the impression of Shao Pei, her blood-related younger brother, had slowly faded in her heart.

"You need to prepare for the competition, what about getting supplies for the second floor?" Shao Moli asked anxiously.

"Let's put it on hold for now! When I come back from the competition, Zheyuan and I are both amateurs, so we might not even make it to the finals. We might be back in two days."

“If you trust me, I’ll go! I can’t go to the next city, but I can check things out in this city. If I find anything suitable, I’ll call you to discuss whether we should stock up,” Shao Moli said after thinking for a moment.

Shao Wanwan's supermarket had finally opened and gained some popularity, but many shelves on the second floor remained empty for a long time, which was very bad.

Upon hearing this, Shao Wanwan immediately took out a card from her pocket. "Sis, I put 50,000 yuan in here. The password is my birthday. If you see something good, just buy it. You don't need to discuss it with me. When I'm not with you, you can make all the decisions. If it sells well, we'll restock it. If it doesn't sell well, we'll sell it at the market. Just be bold and try it."

Looking at the card in her palm, Shao Moli suddenly felt a little sore.

He gave her 50,000 yuan without hesitation.

They weren't worried about her taking kickbacks.

Shao Wanwan applied for several cards, memorizing the card numbers for each one. She had a specific purpose for each card, using them for their own purpose, to avoid having too much money in one card and suffering heavy losses if it was fraudulently used.

This card is the restocking card for the second floor.

The money comes out of this card, and then when I make money, I replenish it.

"This... wouldn't it be..." Shao Moli stammered a little, she had never handled so much money before.

To put it bluntly, she is still a poor student struggling to pay for tuition and living expenses.

"Sister, go for it. I trust your judgment," Shao Wanwan said solemnly.

A future female entrepreneur who can command the winds and waves—if I don't believe you, who do I believe?

Shao Moli nodded and said, "Okay, I will compare them carefully."

"Sis, you must be exhausted after the competition today. Let's invite Sister Zhao over, and I'll treat you to something delicious! You can choose between hot pot or grilled fish. But before we go, let's stop by the third canteen. I promised to get Sister Zhao some meat from the school canteen; she hasn't had it in a long time and probably wants some."

It's almost five o'clock. The school cafeteria opens at five. After I finish eating, I can rush back to the supermarket and help out for a few more hours.

Shao Wanwan knew that Shao Moli couldn't afford to eat anything good at the school cafeteria, and every day she would just have two vegetarian dishes and a steamed bun, or a plate of fried noodles.

I haven't been eating well, and my hair isn't as shiny as it was when I lived with my grandmother.

Shao Wanwan paid Shao Moli on an hourly basis, so that she would receive a wage when she went to help out, and the rest would be commission. Because selling clothes is different from selling other things, it requires excellent service, so most of the counters on the second floor had commissions.
