As summer vacation approached, the heat was intense, but Teng Fei felt a fire burning inside him, full of energy. He pulled Zhuang Tunan and Lin Dongzhe along, excitedly saying, "Let’s not waste time! The wholesale prices in Fujian and Zhejiang are really low. Let’s get some goods and sell them in the countryside and old streets of Suzhou. We’re sure to make money!"
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Tunan pondered for a moment and realized it was a great opportunity. There were plenty of people looking for good bargains in the countryside and city alike; if they played their cards right, they could definitely profit. Lin Dongzhe was even more enthusiastic, his mind racing faster than the heat of the day as he exclaimed, "Sounds great! Let’s do it!" The two quickly returned home, persuading their parents with promises and vows until they managed to borrow some money. They planned to head to Fujian to join Lin Dongzhe's cousin and work hard on this venture.
Somehow, this news reached Lu Zean. His family was quite unique; his mother was a savvy businesswoman, always bustling around negotiating deals and managing supplies with sharp wit, while his father was a teacher—calm and steady. Growing up in this environment, Lu Zean had learned the tricks of the trade: how to choose goods, set prices, and attract customers.
Interestingly enough, he was also Lin Dongzhe's sister's boyfriend, which made their connection even closer. Upon hearing about the plan, he quickly joined in with confidence, patting his chest and saying, "How could you leave me out? I’ve been learning from my mom; I know the ins and outs of this business. With me on board, we’re sure to make a profit!" The group laughed joyfully at each other, feeling energized as they banded together, ready to seize this business opportunity during the summer vacation.
One day, under the blazing sun, Lin Dongzhe was passionately animatedly discussing their grand money-making plans with Zhuang Tunan. His voice boomed as he declared, "Brothers, we’ve spotted a golden opportunity! We’ll go to Fujian and Zhejiang for cheap goods and sell them in Suzhou—this is a surefire way to fill our pockets! We can’t let this chance slip away!"
Just then, Lin Xiao Yu and Xiao Ting happened to walk by. Lin Xiao Yu was known for her straightforwardness and enthusiasm; upon hearing their conversation, her eyes lit up like two shining stars. She bounced over with her hands on her hips and exclaimed, "Wow! You guys have such great ideas! How can I be left out of something so exciting?"
Lin Dongzhe grinned at his sister. "You showed up just in time! We were just worried about needing more hands."
Lu Zean stood nearby with a smile that radiated calmness. He gently took Lin Xiao Yu's hand and said softly, "Sweetheart, don’t rush in too fast; let’s hear the detailed plan first. But honestly, this does seem very promising."
Lin Xiao Yu nodded vigorously like she was pounding garlic. Turning to Lu Zean and Lin Dongzhe with determination in her eyes, she added, "I’ve been saving the prize money from my last competition for something meaningful—now I have a purpose!" She quickly divided the money into two portions and handed them to both boys while playfully scolding them: "You two better work hard! Especially you, brother—don’t mess around or do anything silly; I’ll be watching you! And you too, Lu Zean—if we lose money because of you, just wait and see how I’ll deal with you." Though her words were stern, her eyes sparkled with trust and expectation.
