After sorting out the clothes she planned to resell, Qi opened the official website of Bai Qiaoyu’s company and checked the prices one by one.
Selling them at seventy percent of the original price should be enough to move them, right?
These dresses were all ninety-nine percent new.
She had only worn each one once and hadn’t gotten them dirty, so that price should be fine.
She had never sold anything before, so she would list them like this for now.
If the price was too high and they didn’t sell, she could lower it later.
By her calculations, selling everything would bring in more than thirty thousand dollars, which could cover a large part of the debt she owed.
The trading platform Qi had chosen met her requirement for low visibility, but it also didn’t handle shipping.
Aside from providing a space for communication, the site took no responsibility for anything else.
All transactions relied entirely on the honesty of the parties involved.
Most successful deals were face-to-face meetings within the same city, just like the scenes often shown in gangster movies—one hand money, one hand goods.
Selling things on a platform like this meant she had to stay extremely alert.
Even though the clothes had come to her for free, the black-haired girl had no intention of being taken advantage of or tricked out of them.
Besides selling the clothes, she had also been very careful when registering the account.
She had used Su Xiaoqie’s phone and left none of her own information on it.
That way Bai Qiaoyu probably wouldn’t be able to find it, right?
‘By the way, Qiqi, how are you planning to take the product photos?’
The roommate, now fully dressed, picked up one of the dresses, looked at it, and asked.
‘Can’t I just use my phone?’
Qi didn’t quite understand what she meant.
‘No, look.’
Su Xiaoqie hung the dress on the edge of the bed.
‘If you shoot it like this, the background is messy, and accessories like this neck-tied bow can’t be captured properly together.’
‘The result won’t look good. If people aren’t attracted at first glance, it will be hard to sell.’
The black-haired girl nodded.
She thought Su Xiaoqie made a lot of sense.
‘Then how about using the official website pictures as the cover images?’
‘That won’t work either. These clothes are custom-made. Even though they look like the same dress at first glance, many details have been altered.’
The roommate picked up another dress.
‘For example, this one. To better fit your waist shape, they added a cinched waist treatment. The waist is slimmer than the original, and the hem has been shortened a bit. The overall structure has changed a lot—it basically looks like two different dresses.’
‘If you wear this dress and take the cover photo yourself, it will definitely be more attractive than the original.’
Su Xiaoqie’s tone was very confident.
‘So that’s how it is… Wait!’
She suddenly realized what was happening.
Her gaze shifted from the clothes to her roommate beside her and saw the other girl rubbing her hands together expectantly.
‘You want me to wear them for the cover photos?’
‘Yes, yes! Leave the photography to me. I’ll definitely take great shots for you!’
‘No way!’
Qi refused without even thinking.
‘We’ll just take the cover photos like this. A messy background is fine.’
‘Eh~ Then what if they don’t sell?’
‘If they don’t sell, we’ll just leave them listed. There’s no way I’m taking photos like that again!’
The black-haired girl gave a cold snort.
She still had lingering trauma from the poster photoshoot.
How could she possibly take the initiative to pose for more pictures just to sell clothes?
Not to mention that some of these outfits exposed the waist and legs—they were simply shameless!
The fact that she had worn them for the photoshoot could be counted as a black mark on her record for the rest of her life.
Su Xiaoqie looked a little disappointed that she hadn’t gotten her way.
She put down the dress in her hand and pointed at the princess dress that Qi had just changed out of.
‘Are you selling that one too?’
Hearing the question, the black-haired girl hesitated for a moment, then finally shook her head.
‘I’m not selling that one. I’ll keep it for now and sell the rest.’
She had to keep at least one set in case of emergencies.
If Bai Qiaoyu suddenly asked her to wear the clothes she had bought, and Qi had sold everything, wouldn’t that expose her?
‘Alright, I’ll leave the cover photos to you. I’m going to take a shower first.’
Qi yawned and headed toward the bathroom.
She wanted to sleep deeply this afternoon and make up for all the sleep she had missed over the past few days.
Looking at the pile of clothes, Su Xiaoqie scratched her head, feeling a bit troubled about how to photograph them.
At that moment her phone suddenly rang.
She saw that someone on the school forum had tagged her.
A new section had recently appeared on the forum called [Qiqi Support Club], dedicated to posting candid photos of the black-haired girl.
The creator of the section was Su Xiaoqie herself.
On the day she made it, she had changed her nickname to [Qiqi’s Number One Fan] and was extremely active in the forum.
Everyone else respectfully called her “Boss!”
Being tagged naturally meant new photos had appeared.
Su Xiaoqie clicked in and sure enough, there was a picture of Qi wearing the princess dress.
It had been taken on the way back while she was carrying the shopping bags.
The black-haired girl had set the bags down and was resting with her hand on her waist.
Because she had just put the bags down, Qi was slightly bent forward, but her back was held very straight, ultimately creating a rather alluring pose.
Qiqi’s Number One Fan: [Ninety-four points. The photo is very clear and the pose was captured well, but the expression is a little lacking.]
Su Xiaoqie casually downloaded the photo and posted her review.
Under her lead, more and more people on the forum were posting photos of the black-haired girl, creating a small wave of enthusiasm.
Chocolate Cake: [Are you that strict, Boss? These photos were really hard to take!]
A bunch of people agreed below.
There had been perfect-scoring works in the past, but the conditions this time had been truly difficult.
Not only was Qi’s state while carrying the shopping bags unsuitable for photos, but she had only put the bags down to rest once, and she still had to make the right expression.
Besides this one, many photos had been taken while she was carrying the bags, but aside from a few that happened to turn out decent, most were average.
This time they had finally caught her in the princess dress, so everyone thought it deserved a perfect score and should become a hall-of-fame piece.
However, Su Xiaoqie still stuck to her principles and didn’t change the score, though she quietly marked the post as a highlight.
Apart from the comments discussing the photography, the rest were things like “Such a slim waist” and “Slurp slurp.”
This opportunity had also given many people on the forum a clear understanding of Qi’s figure for the first time.
The impact was so strong that they felt the photo had to be a perfect score.
But for Su Xiaoqie, she had already seen far more alluring scenes.
Her perspective was no longer on the same level as these ordinary mortals.
No wonder she was the moderator!
The roommate proudly put her hands on her hips.
Since she had already opened the forum, Su Xiaoqie decided to scroll through it first and see if there was any new information today.
The first thing she learned about was news concerning Jiang Wanli.
Because Jiang Wanli had joined the Learning Committee, any photos of her now could only be posted if she appeared together with Qi.
As a result, many people who followed Jiang Wanli had flooded into Qi’s section.
In the forum discussions, the two of them were now tightly bound together.
This latest piece of news had been leaked by someone inside the Learning Committee.
The internal monthly exam results were out, and Jiang Wanli had once again taken first place.
She had also launched a vote for the president position.
The Learning Committee respected academic performance above all.
As long as someone ranked first in the internal assessments, they could challenge the president at any time.
The vote was decided by the other student council members, and the person with the most votes would become the new president.
Even if the vote count didn’t exceed the current president this time, as long as she remained first in the next assessment, two consecutive first-place finishes would allow her to take the position directly, ignoring the vote.
It was important to note that the pressure of internal assessments in the Learning Committee was much heavier than in a normal high school.
Not only had Jiang Wanli passed the entrance assessment right after transferring, but she had also taken first place in her very first monthly exam and was now challenging the president.
This made many people truly start to pay attention to this incredibly beautiful girl.
Everyone was looking forward to the results of this election.
Su Xiaoqie continued scrolling and saw that the section was mostly discussing these two topics, so she exited and began working on the task Qi had given her.
Speaking of which, the account on this trading platform was newly registered and still had the default avatar.
She thought she might as well improve the profile a little.
So Su Xiaoqie opened the photo she had just saved, used a small rabbit sticker to slightly cover the face, and clicked to upload it as the avatar.
“Mhm, perfect!”
The roommate was very satisfied with herself.
“What’s perfect?”
A head suddenly poked out from beside her.
“Wah!” She jumped in fright.
“N-nothing! Qiqi, why did you finish showering so fast?”
“Fast?”
The black-haired girl calculated the time.
“I’ve been in there for half an hour, haven’t I?”
“Half an hour is still fast! Girls can’t shower that quickly!”
Su Xiaoqie declared righteously.
“Weird.”
Qi gave her a sideways glance, sat down beside her, and yawned.
“Help me blow-dry my hair, then I’m going to sleep.”
“Oh, okay.”
She quietly patted her chest.
Good thing she hadn’t been seen.
That photo would be used as the avatar from now on!”
