Chapter 167
In a blink of an eye, the leaves turned yellow.The oncoming wind brought a chill.

Ning Qiu bought herself another oversized black sweater. Several friends saw too much about her dressing style, and couldn't complain.

During the lunch break, Yao Hanxin called Ning Qiu out and handed her some red envelopes.

"What is this? It can't be a red envelope!?" Ning Qiu joked.

"You rich woman still thinking about my red envelope? This is an invitation card, an invitation card for my birthday."

Ning Qiu opened the envelope, and there was indeed a bronzing invitation inside. "How old are you, it's such a big birthday scene?"

"Sixteen, my dad said that it is very important for a girl to be considered an adult at the age of 16. The family prepared a birthday party for me and asked me to invite some friends to come."

"Oh, you invited Yanan and the others? Wait! What are you talking about? A ball?!" Ning Qiu glared at her.

"Yeah, it's my mother who always wanted to hold a prom, but she didn't have a chance. This time, taking advantage of my birthday, she decided to host one for me, and my father is also very supportive."

"But...is it suitable for us to go?" She could imagine that kind of scene, the group of them passed by, the style of painting didn't match...

"You are all my friends, there is nothing inappropriate. Besides, wouldn't it be good to open everyone's eyes. You are so tired from studying, you should relax once in a while."

Ning Qiu felt something was wrong, but it was just her personal feeling. I don't know what those sisters would think if they knew about it.In fact, you don’t need to guess to know, those few must be crazy about it.

Girls at this age are the age when they love to fantasize and dream.Prom or something, that's something that only happens in dreams.Now that their dreams have come true, wouldn't they be happy?

"Oh my God!! You are not lying to us!!" After receiving the invitation, Zhao Yanan's first reaction was to scream excitedly.

"The dance... I, I, I have never participated in it, what should I do! I can't dance!" Wu Yuemei nervously shook her hand holding the invitation.

"Calm down!" Ning Qiu held down the two friends who were about to float up, "Don't be nervous! Let's treat this dance as a banquet, and don't need to think about whether we can dance or not. We just need to open our mouths and smile whenever we see people. Call the elders when you see them! Most importantly, eat delicious food when you see them! Also, Yao Hanxin said, go to her house half a day in advance, and she has prepared dresses for everyone."

"A dress!? It can't be very revealing..." Wu Yuemei's face showed a look of horror.

"No, show your neck and arms at most." Ning Qiu suppressed a smile and comforted her.

"Then it's Yao Hanxin's birthday, we have to give a gift, what should I give?"

"Heart! The most important thing is the heart! As long as it is a sincere gift, Yao Hanxin will definitely like it."

Several friends were excitedly looking forward to Yao Hanxin's birthday party, but Ning Qiu ran into trouble. To be precise, the farmer's market at home ran into trouble.The license application and construction went smoothly, but the problem lies in the leasing.

Before, I was worried about no one coming to rent, but now I worry about who to rent to.

Seeing that the farmer's market is about to be completed, the surrounding houses have gradually moved into many workers from the surrounding factories.It has only been more than three months, and the area where the farmer's market is located has gradually become lively.

Several villages around Fuyuan County saw the business opportunities in the farmer's market, and came to rent stalls one after another.

No one cared about it before, but now there is a dispute over the booth.The village chief and uncle had been entangled by several village people for more than half a month, so they turned to Ning Qiu for help when they had no other choice.

After all, several villages are all around Fuyuan County, so it's not good if they come and go frequently and get stuck.Ning Qiu knows how much a farmer has.It's not easy for everyone to make money, and she doesn't want to engage in any bidding.Simply divide the stalls in the farmer's market equally, and how to divide them is a headache for each village.

In addition to the short supply of stalls in the market, the rental of shops outside is also very smooth.I learned from my uncle that 75% of them have been rented out and there are several larger ones, which have not been rented out due to price issues.

Ning Qiu had an idea in her head, but she had to come in person to implement it, so she simply didn't talk about it.After the completion of the farmer's market, we will make a decision based on the rental situation of the storefront.

The business of freshly baked snacks here is also very good, and the supply is often in short supply.The profits of the other two branches have doubled. At this rate, Ning Qiu feels that he can pay off the loan in less than two years.

After school in the afternoon of November [-]th, Zhao Yanan, Wu Yuemei and other friends brought their own birthday presents for Yao Hanxin, and waited excitedly and expectantly for the car to pick them up to Yao Hanxin's home.

Ning Qiu couldn't go with them. Tomorrow was Sunday and she had to settle the accounts, but she had agreed to attend Yao Hanxin's birthday party, so she had to rush to a few shops today to settle the accounts.

She still needs to prepare a special birthday gift for Yao Hanxin when she has time, and she is in a hurry.Fortunately, Xu Qiming drove her to save a lot of time.

Ning Qiu went to the nearby branch first, and it was already past seven o'clock after the bill was settled, and she didn't have time to eat, so she asked Xu Qiming to drive her to sister Xu's.

"Brother Xu, go back when you get there, don't wait for me."

"Then how do you go back?"

"It depends on the situation. If you can catch the last bus, you will go back. If you can't, you will go back tomorrow."

"Aren't you going to your friend's place tomorrow? Is it too late?"

"Should be in time."

"OK then."

When they got there, Ning Qiu urged Xu Qiming to go back.Driving her around, Brother Xu didn't even bother to eat dinner. Ning Qiu was very embarrassed.

When I entered the store, I found that only Sister Xu was cleaning, "Sister Xu, Xiaoyan is doing homework?"

Seeing Ning Qiu coming, Sister Xu put down the broom in her hand with a strange expression.

"Ning Qiu, why are you here today?"

"I have something to do tomorrow, so I'll come to settle the accounts today." Ning Qiu noticed that Sister Xu's expression was wrong. "What's wrong?"

"Close the store first, and I'll tell you after it's closed."

The two closed the store, and Sister Xu handed the ledger to Ning Qiu.

Ning Qiu looked at Sister Xu suspiciously, she obviously had something to say.

"You check the account first."

Seemingly understanding what Sister Xu meant, Ning Qiu took the account book and checked it carefully.After checking to the end, she found the problem.

"Why are so many missing..." 739 is missing.

Sister Xu sat down next to Ning Qiu, "I also found out last month, but it was not much less at that time, only a few dozen yuan. I thought I made a mistake, but you didn't say anything when you came to check the accounts. What, I didn’t care. But this month is wrong, I found that every day I lost dozens. I checked it myself the day before yesterday, and found that it was more than 600 less.”

"I just forgot, 739 is missing."

"What!? More than 100 less!?"

"Hmm...there haven't been any strangers in the store?"

"Of course not, there are only me and Xiao Miao in the store and..."

"Wen Xiaoyan!?"

The two looked at each other with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

Ning Qiu frowned, "Where's Wen Xiaoyan?"

"She...hasn't come back yet."

"Haven't come back yet!? Did she go to class today?"

"Well, I went out early in the morning with my schoolbag on my back."

Ning Qiu thought for a while, "I'll go to the second floor to have a look."
