Chapter 173 Pricing

Mutually beneficial relationships without any vested interests are acceptable, but deep confiding in each other is no longer possible. He genuinely considered Song Wanli a brother, and Zhao Xiaojuan a sister.

Ting Nan chimed in, "Yes, my aunt made it. Isn't it beautiful? Uncle Qiang, how much do you think this pot of flowers could sell for?" Ting Nan really didn't know how to price it in the city. Her godfather said it had to be more expensive than in the county town.

Li Zhiqiang asked, "Is it always like this?"

"The shapes, flowers, and accessories are all different!" Indeed, Zhao Xiaojuan designed flower baskets of different shapes, heights, and sizes, paired them with suitable flowers, and even had Song Wanli make bamboo dragonflies. She also sewed some small animals herself.

"Then please wait a moment and sit down over there. I'll call my wife down; she's more familiar with this kind of thing." Li Zhiqiang sent a waiter upstairs to fetch his wife from a guest room.

A moment later, a woman with curly hair, bright red lips, and a graceful figure came down from upstairs. She immediately noticed the flower basket on the bar.

"You rascal, is this for me?" So alluring, Mu Xudong looked away.

Li Zhiqiang chuckled, "Yeah, do you like it, honey!"

"I love it! It's beautiful, you rascal! You have good taste this time! Who helped you choose it? How much did it cost?"

"you guess!"

Five yuan? Eight yuan?

Tingnan, standing nearby, gasped. So much? Meat only costs three yuan a pound these days!

“Look, this little girl gave it to me!” Li Zhiqiang pointed to Ting Nan.

The proprietress, Zhao Man, paled slightly. So young? Just as she was about to ask, she saw Mu Xudong standing beside her. She recognized him and quickly walked over. "Isn't this Factory Director Mu? What brings you here?"

"Haha, hello sister-in-law! This is my daughter, Tingnan!" Mu Xudong hurriedly introduced, the couple were just like each other.

"Hello, beautiful sister!" Ting Nan greeted sweetly.

"Haha, little sister, you're calling me sister?" Zhao Man was overjoyed. She was already middle-aged, and a little sister was calling her sister?

"Yes, sister, you're so beautiful!" Zhao Man was overjoyed, her eyes sparkling. Mu Xudong, standing nearby, thought to himself: This child and Du Hongxue are probably siblings—their sweet talk is enough to make anyone swoon.

"Haha, little sister, just because you call me 'sister' doesn't mean you can ask me for help with something!"

"Beautiful sister, you have the best eye! Please help me price these flower baskets." Ting Nan has been running businesses since she was a child, so she has developed a silver tongue and a keen eye for customers. She understands the mindset of customers very well and can coax people as long as she is willing to open her mouth.

"Wow, what a wonderful day! Such a cute little girl and so many beautiful flowers have been delivered! Honey, I want to buy a few more!" Zhao Man really loves beauty, and these flower baskets were a perfect match for her.

"Sister-in-law, these are the samples we brought. You have a good eye for fashion, so please give us your opinions and help us set a price!" Mu Xudong flattered.

"Great! Thank you, father and daughter, for trusting me. This one is five yuan, that one is eight yuan, oh my god, this one is high-end and luxurious, it'll definitely be in high demand before the New Year, even the twelve-yuan one will be in high demand..."

Song Tingnan, listening to the ever-increasing price, was almost stunned. "So expensive?" she blurted out.

"What's so expensive about it? Little sister, you don't understand. People who buy these purely decorative items are rich. They're picky; the more expensive something is, the more they'll scramble to buy it. Now that it's the dead of winter, having a few potted plants at home is so rare and makes you look good!"

"Things are valued for their rarity?" Ting Nan had a bit of an understanding.

"Yes, you cowards can be taught. Let my husband take you to Fugui Street for a stroll, and I guarantee you'll be able to snatch it up."

Nan hurriedly thanked him, saying how wonderful it was to have a guide!

“However, Director Mu, I have a request that you must grant!” Zhao Man said seriously.
