From cannon fodder villain to superpowered queen

Qian Youcai's sarcastic voice made Bi Yao's heart skip a beat; she knew trouble was brewing.

Sure enough, in the following days, various rumors about her began to circulate in the market.

The "Peach Blossom Fairy Health Tea" is made with rotten leaves, Bi Yao shortchanges customers, Bi Yao sells counterfeit goods...

In short, go for the most offensive thing you can hear.

These rumors spread like a virus, and the once bustling customers began to avoid Bi Yao's stall.

Bi Yao's sales plummeted. Looking at the unsold "Peach Blossom Fairy Health Tea" in her hand, she felt more disgusted than if she had swallowed a fly.

What's even more infuriating is that the old fox Sun Qinian jumped out again. He pretended to come to Bi Yao's stall and sighed hypocritically: "Bi Yao, I'm not trying to criticize you, but you can't do business like this! Look, now everyone knows you sell counterfeit goods, who would dare to buy your stuff? I advise you to pack up and go home as soon as possible, don't embarrass yourself here."

Bi Yao suppressed her anger and replied with a forced smile, "President Sun, what are you saying? Don't you know whether what I'm selling is counterfeit or not? These teas of mine are genuine specialties from Peach Blossom Village, and I'm honest with everyone, young and old. How can they be counterfeit?"

Sun Qinian snorted coldly: "Whether it's counterfeit or not, everyone can decide! Now everyone says you're selling counterfeit goods, what else do you have to say? I'm giving you one last chance. If you stop this unfair business practice now, I might consider letting you continue to set up a stall at the market, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?" Bi Yao raised an eyebrow, a sly glint in her eyes. "President Sun, you wouldn't be thinking of using your power to bully me and kick me out of the market, would you?"

Sun Qinian's expression changed, and he was about to lash out when he saw Bi Yao suddenly take out a delicate little box from behind the stall. After opening it, a rich aroma of tea wafted out.

She picked up a small pinch of tea leaves, placed them in front of Sun Qinian, and said with a smile, "President Sun, would you like to try my 'Peach Blossom Fairy Health Tea'? See if it's really made from rotten leaves, as the rumors say?"

Sun Qinian looked at the tea leaves in Bi Yao's hand, hesitated for a moment, and ultimately did not reach out to take them.

He snorted coldly, turned around and left: "I have no interest in drinking your fake tea! Just you wait and see, I won't let you get away with this!"

Bi Yao watched Sun Qinian's departing figure, a cold smile curling at the corner of her lips.

She didn't rush to refute the rumors as she had before, but instead...

Unlike before, Bi Yao did not rush to refute the rumors or wail like a wronged woman.

Instead, she took the initiative, confidently visiting each of the businessmen who were resisting her.

With an innocent smile on her face, her tone was as sincere as a girl next door: "Dear bosses, I know there have been some rumors about me lately, which have affected your business and caused you trouble. I'm here today not to explain, but to discuss cooperation."

This move completely baffled the group of businessmen.

They originally thought Bi Yao would come to argue angrily or beg for forgiveness in tears, but they didn't expect her to take the initiative to cooperate.

"Cooperation? How do you want to cooperate?" A burly businessman asked, his tone tinged with suspicion.

“It’s very simple,” Bi Yao smiled mysteriously, “I’ll share my ‘business opportunity radar’ with everyone, and we can all get rich together, wouldn’t that be wonderful?”

"Business Opportunity Radar?" Everyone looked at each other, wondering what this girl was up to.

Bi Yao didn't hold back and directly shared her marketing strategy and target customer analysis for "Peach Blossom Fairy Health Tea" without reservation.

She even pointed out some common business mistakes made by other business owners and offered suggestions for improvement.

These businessmen were all seasoned veterans; upon hearing Bi Yao's analysis, they immediately recognized its value.

They then realized that Bi Yao was not a shrewd businessman, but a truly shrewd one.

“Bi Yao, we misunderstood you before,” another businessman said with an embarrassed smile. “We didn’t expect you to have such a business mind at such a young age.”

"Not at all, we're all just trying to make money," Bi Yao said modestly, waving her hand. "I hope you'll all give me your guidance in the future."

In this way, Bi Yao resolved the crisis with her sincerity and ability.

Those businessmen who had initially opposed her not only stopped ostracizing her, but also began to actively cooperate with her.

Bi Yao's business also took off, making a fortune every day, which was the envy of others.

Looking at the bustling stalls, Bi Yao's lips curled up slightly, but a figure flashed through her mind...

"Jiang Ruiyuan, how are you?" she murmured softly, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

Bi Yao was so busy at the market that she barely had time to breathe, but her smile grew brighter and brighter.

She was like a mini-boss leveling up in a game, overcoming all obstacles and defeating the "minions" who tried to trip her up.

She even imagined a background music playing in her mind: ding ding ding ding, ding ding ding ding...

(The melody of "How Lonely It Is to Be Invincible" should be played here).

As she collected the money, she silently muttered to herself, "Jiang Ruiyuan, see? Your Yaoyao is no pushover! Back in the day, I was a force to be reckoned with... cough cough, never mind, let's keep a low profile." Thinking of Jiang Ruiyuan, she felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey, and her enthusiasm grew even stronger.

Seeing those customers who used to avoid her now swarming around her like bees to a flower, Bi Yao felt incredibly happy!

"Hey, boss lady, is your 'Peach Blossom Fairy Health Tea' really not a rip-off at all? I heard them say before..." an older woman asked hesitantly.

Bi Yao immediately put on an "I'm so innocent" expression: "Heaven and earth bear witness! In doing business, I, Bi Yao, always put integrity first! I don't cheat children or the elderly! If it's fake, I'll compensate you tenfold! Don't believe me? Try it!" As she spoke, she enthusiastically poured a cup for the old lady to try.

The woman took a sip, her eyes lighting up: "Wow, this is really good! Much better than that old man Sun's! Give me five jin!"

Upon seeing this, the people around also rushed to buy it.

Bi Yao's stall was instantly packed with people, even more bustling than a vegetable market.

"Boss lady, two more pounds, please!"

"I want ten pounds!"

"Give me a bucket!"

Bi Yao was counting money until her hands were sore, and she felt that she had reached the pinnacle of her life.

"One hundred taels of silver? No big deal!" she patted her chest proudly.

However, just as she was basking in her joy, a mysterious figure appeared in a corner of the market, a pair of cold eyes fixed on her...

"Heh, an interesting little girl..." the figure murmured, then vanished without a trace.

Bi Yao suddenly felt a chill run down her spine. She turned around abruptly, but saw nothing.

"Could it be my imagination?" She frowned in confusion, a sudden sense of foreboding rising in her heart...

She subconsciously touched the jade bracelet on her wrist, which was a token of love given to her by Jiang Ruiyuan!

Just then, a familiar voice rang in her ear: "Bi Yao..."
