Li Le Wen naturally wouldn't have imagined that the store where Shi Nian bought things before and the beauty salon she went to later were not voluntarily open for business; instead, Tang Yanqing had arranged it beforehand.
The locals had merchants continuing business under armed protection, but this wasn't China, nor was it the M Country that Shi Nian was accustomed to, so she couldn't find the brands she was used to.
But a woman is still a woman, especially when it comes to such extremely personal products; she always trusts the brand she's used to. It's as if those she's never used don't seem clean enough or safe enough. Moreover, in a war-torn land like this, it's already good enough to have something to sell, let alone the quality disparity among brands on the shelves.
So despite Shi Nian entering several stores, she indeed couldn't find what she wanted. She was deliberately buying time, but at the same time, she genuinely couldn't find what she desired.
