Chapter 856: 214: Offended someone who shouldn’t have been offended, dog food manufacturer_3

As she finished speaking, Du Jiaojiao continued, "But Yangyang, how do you know all this?"

Ni Yang replied with a smile, "Because I love beauty and like to fiddle with things. Sister Jiaojiao, I suggest you use the ’Bingji Yufu’ hydrating skincare set, which not only hydrates but also has whitening and oil control effects."

"Bingji Yufu?" Du Jiaojiao furrowed her brows slightly, "I seem to have heard of this brand, it’s made in China, right?"

Ni Yang nodded her head.

Du Jiaojiao said with a smile, "Can domestic skincare products really compare with imports?"

At that time, China was still developing, so it was normal for Du Jiaojiao to look down on domestic products.

Although ’Bingji Yufu’ was very popular, its sales relied on loyal customers, and it was still hard for new customers to accept it.

After all, at that time, all the good stuff was imported from overseas, like refrigerators, washing machines, window air conditioners, and so on...

In later years, you could still feel the prestige of imported goods, things like foreign shovels, nails, cement, and grease mentioned by the older generation...

Ni Yang’s lips curved in a faint smile, "You can’t be too absolute about everything, sometimes foreign goods aren’t necessarily better than our Chinese products, it’s just that people are used to imports and unwilling to try new things."

Du Jiaojiao didn’t take Ni Yang’s words to heart and casually nodded, "You make some sense. I’ll definitely try ’Bingji Yufu’ when I get a chance."

As soon as she finished speaking, Du Jiaojiao continued, "Yangyang, you’re still in school, right?"

Ni Yang nodded, "Yes, I’m in my senior year now, and the college entrance exam is coming up in July."

The eighties were different from later years.

In later years, the college entrance exam was in June, but in the eighties, it was in July.

19 and still in senior year?

She must have repeated a few years, right?

It seems that my younger brother’s lifesaver isn’t very smart...

Du Jiaojiao gave Ni Yang a thoughtful look but said nothing.

While the two of them were chatting, Grandfather Du just stood silently to the side.

He marveled inwardly at how amazing Du Jiaojiao was; she hadn’t known Ni Yang for long, yet she had managed to find out so much about her.

He had spent an entire night alone with Ni Yang and still didn’t know her as well as she did.

After chatting for a while, Ni Yang suggested it was time to say goodbye.

Du Jiaojiao, arm in arm with Ni Yang, said, "Yangyang, don’t be in such a rush to leave. It’s almost time for lunch. You should eat with us before you go."

Ni Yang replied with a smile, "Sister Jiaojiao, you’re being too polite. When I went out to look for Duoduo earlier, my mom specifically instructed me to hurry back once I found Duoduo. If I don’t return soon, she might really think Duoduo is lost."

Upon hearing this, Du Jiaojiao no longer insisted on keeping Ni Yang, and added, "We’ve just arrived in Beijing and don’t have any friends here. Yangyang, if you have time, come and keep me company for a chat."

"Sure," Ni Yang nodded, "I’ll head back first then."

Grandfather Du walked Ni Yang to the door.

"Duoduo, say goodbye to Mr. Du."

"Little bastard!" Duoduo was still fuming.

"Duoduo," Ni Yang patted its head, "don’t be so impolite."

Grandfather Du, however, was calm, a smile playing on his lips, "Why bother with it? Besides, this was all my fault, to begin with. I should be the one apologizing to it."

Ni Yang said smiling, "You shouldn’t say that; this little guy is always pushing its luck. I’ll be going now."

"Mhm," Grandfather Du nodded slightly, "Be careful on your way."

Just as Ni Yang turned to leave, Grandfather Du called out, "Wait a moment."

"What is it?" Ni Yang looked back.

Grandfather Du twirled his Buddha Beads, "My name is Du Chengfeng."

Ni Yang was taken aback at first, and then asked, "Chengfeng, as in ’I desire to ride the wind to return’?"

"Yes," Grandfather Du nodded.

"Nice name," Ni Yang said.

Grandfather Du, holding the Buddha Beads, paused for a moment, "Thank you."

When Ni Yang’s figure disappeared under the shade of the parasol trees, Grandfather Du also turned and went inside.

As soon as he entered, Du Jiaojiao approached, "That Yangyang is very pretty."

"Yeah," Grandfather Du replied to her.

Du Jiaojiao continued, "Did she just call you Mr. Du?"

"Yeah."

"Doesn’t she know you’re the Grandfather Du of the ’Ten Mile Foreign Trade Area’?" Du Jiaojiao asked back.

"She knows," Grandfather Du lifted the lid of the incense burner and lit a piece of sandalwood.

Du Jiaojiao narrowed her eyes, "Knowing that and still calling you Mr. Du, is she playing hard to get?"

It was no wonder Du Jiaojiao would overthink; she had met too many people who thought they were very clever.
