238 238 An expert at making money
Tan Rou was secretly making money while she was in school. She had asked Mrs. Tao to save up the money from selling the incense pills, but it was far from enough for her. So, she took the opportunity to buy a few stocks that would rise sharply. Recently, her stocks had begun to profit.
“Hey, Xiao Rou, What are you looking at?” Li Li looked curiously at the dense squares and undulating lines on Tan Rou’s mobile phone. “What kind of report is it? ”
“It’s the stock market.” Tan Rou didn’t hide it from her.
“I’m investing in the stock market.”
“The stock market?! Do you know how to?” Li Li was very surprised.
“I’m just casually buying it for fun. I didn’t invest a lot of money anyway.” Tan Rou said with a smile. However, the truth was that after analysing the situation, she invested a lot of money.
“Then, did you make money?” Li Li asked.
“I’ve made a small profit, about tens of thousands.” In fact, it was more than a hundred thousand, but Tan Rou was afraid of scaring Li Li and being exposed, so she said it was only tens of thousands.
“That’s a lot! How did you buy it?” Li Li asked curiously.
“I also want to buy one and try it. Although I have some pocket money, who would mind having more money?”
Tan Rou recommended a few stocks that she was optimistic about. “Buy only a small amount of each so that even if you lose money, you won’t feel bad.” In fact, the stocks that Tan Rou told Li Li about were all guaranteed to make money.
“Of course!” Li Li then happily used her pocket money to invest in the stock market.
Tan Rou reminded her not to invest too much in case she fell into a trap.
In addition to speculating in the stock market, Tan Rou had more important work to do, which was to treat Zhuang Liu’s illness and sell more incense pills. She did not dare to simply make them and sell them to the market. After all, pills were something that would be consumed by others. If they were contaminated and harmed another person, she could not afford to compensate for it. She only dared to prescribe the required medicine to those who needed it, such as the pill for old master Lu.
Recently, Tan Rou developed a kind of incense that could improve one’s concentration. This kind of incense could be used in conjunction with nerve-soothing incense to make it easier for others to focus during work. They could also use the nerve-soothing incense after work to completely relax, achieving the effect of balancing work and rest.
Originally, they were only selling one type of incense, but now they were selling two types of incense together. The price remained the same, but the profit doubled.
“She’s amazing. To have such achievements at such a young age, her future is boundless!” Bai Jing couldn’t help but praise her.
Tan Rou smiled. “It’s all because you gave me this opportunity, Uncle Bai. When my incense pills were despised by the others, you were the one who wanted to take a look at my pills. That’s why my incense pills can sell so well.”
“That’s because those boorish people in the marketplace don’t know how to appreciate a good treasure.They’re already regretting it now. They’re so regretful that their intestines have turned green.”
“Please don’t tease me!” Tan Rou chuckled shyly.
“I’m not teasing you.” Bai Jing laughed out loud. Then, he thought of Zhuang Liu. “How have you two been?”
Tan Rou pretended not to understand. “Uncle Bai, what are you talking about?”
Bai Jing narrowed his eyes. “Don’t pretend that you don’t understand. I’m talking about how things are going between you and Liu ‘er.”
Tan Rou’s face was slightly red, and she ignored him. “The third young master’s health has improved a lot recently, and his appetite has also improved. However, he has been a little busy recently, and I haven’t been able to find a chance to give him acupuncture.”
Bai Jing was not concerned about this. He knew very well that Zhuang Liu was in good health. What he was concerned about was whether there was any progress in their relationship.
“That brat, he actually still hasn’t managed to get you.” Bai Jing felt resentful.
“Right now, I just want to study hard and earn some money so that my family can live a better life. As for the future, we can talk about it in the future.”
When Bai Jing heard her words, he admired her even more. “Good. You are a capable and independent child. In the future, Uncle Bai will not talk about it anymore. Work hard in school as well but remember….”
Bai Jing lowered his voice and said, “In the future, when you are looking for a boyfriend, you must consider our little Liu ‘er first. In the past, his legs have been injured, and this was one of the things that brought him down. In the future, when his legs recover, there will be no one more suitable than him.”
Tan Rou smiled. “The third young master is indeed a good man.”
Bai Jing stopped there.
The two of them discussed the sales of the new fragrance pill and the development of new products. Then, Zhuang Liu came to take Tan Rou to the Clear Flow Pavilion for dinner.
Before he left, Bai Jing pushed Zhuang Liu to the side and gave him a good lecture. He told Zhuang Liu to keep a close eye on Tan Rou so that others wouldn’t have the chance to take her away.
Zhuang Liu looked at the girl waiting for him in the car and said with a smile, “I’ll definitely hold onto her tightly in this life.”
