"I don't want any gifts, please don't spend money. From now on, anything you buy for me cannot exceed one hundred yuan, or I'll refuse to accept it," Mian Mian didn't want everyone to waste money on her. Their family conditions were all different and not on the same level.
Giving her gifts would definitely put pressure on them. She didn't want that.
"I'm broke anyway. If I give you a gift, I might just hug a lobster for you," Li Xiang said shamelessly.
"I might give you a potted plant?" Zhou Hao also scratched his head awkwardly.
"I'll be happy with whatever you give me. The most important thing about a gift is the thought behind it. As long as the thought is there, the price doesn't matter!" Mian Mian said with a smile.
"You're so easy to appease. Others are afraid of cheap gifts, but you're afraid of expensive ones!" Qian Xiaoguo put away the millet beads and gave her a sideways glance.
"We're all students, and Zhou Hao's repair shop just opened. It's not a time to spend money carelessly."
"How's your repair shop business? Is it very bad?" Yun Buji asked.
"Perhaps the location is still a bit out of the way, and there are indeed few customers. I still lack experience," Zhou Hao said somewhat dejectedly.
"You just opened, no need to rush. For skilled work, the longer you do it, the more customers you'll get. As long as your skills are good and your prices are reasonable, more people will definitely come. However, you could also try online group buys or offer free cleaning and maintenance services. That way, more people will come," Mian Mian offered her opinion.
Yun Buji agreed with Mian Mian's idea. He also planned for Zhou Hao to start with a period of free services. He said, "You can offer free car washes or air conditioning cleaning. Then you'll get more customers. As long as your prices are reasonable and you fix cars well, you won't lack customers. Every family has a car nowadays."
"Right, it's like the roadside bicycle repair shops of the past. Before, it was one bicycle per family; now, it's one car per family," Qian Xiaoguo also found it quite sensible.
"You talk like you know. How old are you? Cars were probably already common when you were born," Li Xiang teased with a smile.
"I heard it from my grandma. In my grandma's era, people rode bicycles."
The group chatted and ate, the atmosphere was very pleasant. After the meal, Jiang Mian Mian paid the bill, and the five of them went home separately.
...
In the evening, Fu Yangyang insisted on sleeping with Jiang Mi. Jiang Mi didn't mind, but Ling Bo seemed reluctant.
"Don't worry, I can take good care of her and won't crush your beloved girlfriend," Jiang Mi teased.
Ling Bo glared at her. "Then take good care of her."
Back in the room, Fu Yangyang said, "Sister, can I ask you a favor? Please get back together with Bobo."
"Ah? Why? Aren't you two deeply in love?" Jiang Mi looked at her with some confusion. What drama was she putting on now?
"You've seen my physical condition. I'm afraid of being crushed even when I sleep. I won't be happy with him," Fu Yangyang said bitterly. She had tried her best, but her body was still uncooperative, always in such a weak state.
"Is it possible that you're being overprotected? Why don't you try exercising and eating more meat? Your body might become like a normal person's," Jiang Mi felt that Fu Yangyang might be overprotected. It looked like she wasn't even allowed to walk normally, so how could she be healthy?
"But the doctor said my spleen and stomach are weak and I shouldn't eat too much meat. They also said my body is too frail and not suitable for exercise," Fu Yangyang said hesitantly.
