Brother! This is the adoption certificate. I don't want your sister-in-law!

After school in the afternoon, I familiarized myself with the tree-lined path.

Su Xiao was carrying her schoolbag and was about to walk towards the science and technology street when Su Wan Ning's voice drifted from behind her.

"I'll go with you to take a look."

Su Xiao's feet were rooted to the spot.

He turned around, and Su Wan Ning was already standing behind him with her backpack on, her expression still indifferent.

Alarm bells rang in Su Xiao's mind.

Wu Mengmeng is probably still cleaning the windows in the store right now. If Su Wanning walks through that glass door...

A sister as cold as ice, and a mischievous little sister who loves to stir up trouble—the moment their eyes meet, "Quan Quan" could be renamed "Death Scene."

"Um... sis."

He took a step forward, reached out and put his arm around Su Wan Ning's shoulder, his actions incredibly enthusiastic. "I suddenly really want to eat your cooking. Look at me, I've been eating out these past few days, I've gotten so thin. You might not believe it, but I dream about your sweet and sour pork ribs. Why don't you go back and cook first? I'll just go to the shop for a quick look and be right back, definitely no more than half an hour."

Su Wan Ning was taken aback by his sudden physical contact, and the tips of her ears turned red at a visible speed.

She wanted to say something, but Su Xiao's face was right next to her, her eyes crinkling with laughter, and her arm was draped over her shoulder and swaying.

"Please? My lovely little sister."

"You're disgusting!"

She swallowed back the words she was about to say, turned her head away, and said in a stiff voice, "Come back early tonight. If the food gets cold, I won't heat it up for you."

After saying that, he shook his hand off his shoulder and turned to walk towards home.

The ponytail swung around in a curve that was half a circle larger than usual.

Su Xiao stood there watching her figure disappear into the distance, and let out a long sigh.

He's finally figured it out completely these past few days.

The reason Su Wan Ning is acting strangely is that her attachment to her brother far exceeds the normal range for siblings!

This is not a normal sibling relationship!

However, he could understand.

After all, after her parents passed away, the only person she trusted and relied on in this world was him.

She wasn't against him dating; she was afraid he would be taken away by someone else.

He rubbed his temples.

Wu Mengmeng alone is enough of a headache; how am I going to introduce Xu Niannian to Su Wanning in the future?

He doesn't even dare to think about this problem now.

But before that...

absolute!

We absolutely cannot let Wu Mengmeng, that little devil, trigger the king-to-king storyline first!

Su Xiao became even more certain of her idea to send Wu Mengmeng away.

……

When Su Xiao pushed open the circular glass door, the lively atmosphere inside startled him for a moment.

Several students in school uniforms were gathered around the counter. Two were squatting next to the shelves looking at secondhand mobile phones, and three others were pretending to look at headphones.

The people were standing in different positions, but their eyes kept glancing towards the counter.

Wu Mengmeng stood behind the front desk flipping through the ledgers. She wore a pleated skirt and a white shirt, her hair was tied into pigtails and hung down on both sides of her shoulders, and she had a professional smile on her lips. She looked very presentable.

Su Xiao pursed her lips.

Luo Jiang was disassembling a Nokia phone behind the repair station without looking up, while Lao Liu and Xiao Zhou were testing the battery and soldering the motherboard, respectively. The whole shop was filled with a strange sense of prosperity.

This vibrant life force, like a scene of all things flourishing, is right before our eyes.

Wu Mengmeng looked up and saw him come in. She pouted and made a very unprofessional face at him.

Su Xiao pretended not to see and leaned against the counter waiting for Luo Jiang to finish.

Luo Jiang reconnected the Nokia's ribbon cable, put the case back on, turned it on, and confirmed that there were no problems before taking off his gloves and coming over.

Su Xiao told Luo Jiang about the business model she had been thinking about over the past few days.

"These days, secondhand dealers all offer prices based on who you are."

"Sellers who don't understand the market will drive down prices sharply, while those who do will raise them slightly."

"The door-to-door recycling service usually quotes a high price upfront, but after receiving the device, they try to lower the price by citing reasons such as wear and tear on the casing, scratches on the screen, and aging battery. Students are the most resentful of this."

"What we need to do is create a standardized valuation template! We will categorize mainstream models like Nokia and Motorola into five grades based on their condition, and clearly list the price of each grade on paper for public display."

"At the same time, all deduction items are listed out. How much is deducted for battery aging, how much for screen scratches, how much for signs of disassembly and repair. Each item is checked and deducted in front of the seller, making everything transparent and preventing arbitrary price reductions."

Su Xiao spoke fluently, as if he knew this operating model by heart. After all, in his previous life, he had been browsing second-hand recycling sites so much that he was almost sick of it.

But Luo Jiang was different; after listening to him, his eyes slowly brightened.

He had worked in Huaqiangbei for several years and had seen all sorts of recycling schemes, but the model this high school student was talking about was one he had never seen in any store before.

Write down all the quotes and deductions on a piece of paper so that sellers can see and check them themselves.

This is tantamount to directly exposing the underhanded dealings within the industry!

"Boss," Luo Jiang said, taking off his glasses, wiping them, and putting them back on, "you're a genius! How did you come up with this?!"

Su Xiao waved his hand dismissively, after all, this operating model was something he had copied from his later life, and it wasn't worth showing off.

Su Xiao asked Luo Jiang to compile a detailed plan within the next two days and promote the operating model.

Luo Jiang was full of energy and immediately went to prepare.

Then Su Xiao straightened up and glanced at the front desk.

Wu Mengmeng was writing a receipt for a boy wearing glasses, her smile both sweet and professional.

After the boy left reluctantly, Su Xiao went over and, while Su Xiao was looking down at organizing the documents, pinched her arm.

Wu Mengmeng winced in pain, hissed, and glared at him as she clutched her arm: "Are you crazy?! Harassing a female employee at work! I'll report you for sexual harassment!"

"What nonsense did you tell my aunt yesterday?" Su Xiao asked in a low voice, her expression like that of someone interrogating a criminal.

Wu Mengmeng rubbed the spot where he had pinched her, then lifted her chin.

"What nonsense am I talking about? Everything I said is true. It's true that you stood up for me, and it's true that you care about me. Can you say which one is fake?"

Su Xiao was momentarily speechless after being blocked by her, so she changed her strategy, lowering her voice even further and saying in a warning tone: "You'd better shut your mouth and not talk nonsense in front of me outside."

Wu Mengmeng slammed the pen in her hand on the counter, raised her chin even higher than before, curled up her lips, and flashed a cunning light in her eyes that sent chills down Su Xiao's spine.

"I'm not going to shut up! Go ahead and kiss me, then shut me up!"

After saying that, she leaned her face forward half an inch, her twin ponytails swaying on either side of her shoulders, exuding an arrogant aura of "Let's see what you can do to me."

Wu Mengmeng pouted slightly, her eyes filled with a hint of provocation, her red lips exuding ultimate allure under the light.

"If you've got the guts, go ahead and kiss me."
