Chapter 46: Confidante
When they heard Li Dazhuang say this, Shi and Xiao Yun hurriedly covered his mouth.
If it was for this reason that Deng Mei was unwilling to help them, they would really lose more than they gained.
Fortunately, Deng Mei was a girl who could afford to joke, she just laughed, and then said to Xiao Yun and the others: "Let's get to know each other officially." I've been a neighbor for so long, and I don't know your names. ”
At this moment, Xiao Yun and the three of them formed an inseparable connection with Deng Mei.
At dinner on the second day, Deng Mei came to their room and said that she had discussed the matter with the store manager.
She doesn't need kickbacks. But the store manager has three children in his family, and he is really short of money, so he said that he can help them sell this batch of goods. However, if you have one piece, you will have to pay a commission of 50 yuan.
Xiao Yun also calculated that when they picked up this batch of goods from the Estee Garment Factory, they paid a total of 2,050 yuan to the factory director.
They originally planned to sell a piece of clothing for between 240~260, so that they could make a net profit of more than 10,000 yuan.
But if you give the store manager a kickback, then they will lose a lot of profit.
And at present, they have no other better way to sell this batch of goods, if they smash such high-end women's clothing in their hands, as Deng Mei said, it will be really wronged.
So Xiao Yun said to Deng Mei: "50 is 50." Tomorrow, a few of us will help you deliver the goods. ”
Deng Mei smiled slightly: "No problem." ”
Then Deng Mei saw that they were only eating instant noodles, and said to the three of them, "Don't eat instant noodles yet." Every day, I can see that the garbage bags you put at the door are full of instant noodle bags, and you can't do that. ”
After a while, Deng Mei brought three dishes from his room.
One is scrambled eggs with tomatoes, another is sautéed greens, and the last one is spicy shredded potatoes.
Although this is a very homely meal in normal times, for the three of them, it is like a gluttonous feast.
Eating instant noodles every day causes them to be salty and salty in their mouths.
After Li Dazhuang ate a bite of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, he couldn't help but burst into tears.
"I can't think of the food I finally got again. That's what it's like to eat. Normally, we live like hell. It's just a stomach. ”
Xiao Yun handed Deng Mei the only small bench in their room, and then added another pair of dishes and chopsticks to her.
And Xiao Yun and Li Dazhuang and Shi Shi took a cardboard board and lined it under their buttocks.
"Actually, if you want, I can cook for you every day. At noon, I can't guarantee that I'll always be able to come back. But dinner can make you have a warm meal. I'm not a local either. So I think it would be nice if we could help each other out there. ”
On that night, although the cold wind was still howling outside, in this simple rental house, it reflected the true feelings and warmth of the world.
Xiao Yun and the three of them silently decided in their hearts that after making money, they must repay Deng Mei well.
On the second day, the three of them followed Deng Mei to the clothing store where Deng Mei worked.
There are only two people in this store: Deng Mei and the store manager.
The store is not very large, almost 50 square meters.
On both sides of the cash register, a wide variety of beautiful women's clothing is displayed.
Although the shop is not large, according to Deng Mei, it also takes a lot of money to be able to rent such a shop on this bustling commercial street.
Shi and Li Dazhuang curiously asked her how much it cost?
Deng Mei laughed again: "It's almost tens of thousands a month." ”
The store manager is a woman in her 30s. He wore light makeup on his face, but he couldn't hide the tiredness on his face.
She called Xiao Yun into the warehouse, and then said to him: "I think Deng Mei has already conveyed my meaning to you, I know that you don't have any money, so I can help you sell the goods first, and then you will give me the commission." ”
"No problem. We are also lucky to meet someone as nice as you. ”
The store manager showed a bitter smile: "I'm also taking a huge risk. If someone from the head office visits our store and finds that I am selling smuggled goods, I guess I will not be able to do it. If I hadn't been divorced and had three children to raise, I wouldn't have taken such a risk. None of the people living here are easy. ”
As a result, Xiao Yun put 50 pieces of women's clothing with the store manager as collateral.
When the store manager sells all the 50 pieces of women's clothing, the store manager will hand over the total amount to Xiao Yun, and Xiao Yun will pay the additional commission to the store manager.
Of course, both parties are based on their trust in Deng Mei, so there is no paper agreement, just a verbal agreement, and such a deal is reached.
The days that followed were a little better than the lives they had lived before.
Deng Mei would cook for them every night. Although they eat the simplest meals, their hearts are warm.
When you sleep at night, you will feel the stones.
"Now I know why people always say that half of a man is a woman. The three of us live together, what kind of life we live, it's like a pig-like life. But with Deng May, I suddenly felt at home. ”
Li Dazhuang also agreed: "It would be nice if Deng Mei were my girlfriend." Although she is not particularly good-looking, her kindness is the most important thing. ”
And Xiao Yun did not participate in their discussion, he missed Lin Xiang even more in his heart. He hadn't called Lin Xiang for a long time, and he hadn't met in person.
Lin Xiang has already started to perform officially, but Xiao Yun can't even afford a ticket.
Xiao Yun always imagined that one day he would wear a black suit, and then hold a bouquet of bright red roses in his hand, kneel on one knee on the stage with all eyes and bright lights, and then propose to Lin Xiang.
Lin Xiang will definitely be moved to tears. Then hugged him tightly.
But every time he dreamed of this, Xiao Yun would wake up from freezing.
Because they only have money to buy two beds. So when one bed was handed over to Li Dazhuang, who had been injured, to sleep, Xiao Yun and Shi were squeezed into the other bed.
Shi Shi is a rather dishonest person who sleeps, and when he falls asleep, he will grab the quilt with Xiao Yun. Xiao Yun always couldn't grab him, so whenever he slept until midnight, he would find himself just wearing a pair of shorts and a vest, just lying on the bed like that.
But the stone wrapped itself tightly like a rice dumpling.
Whenever this time, Xiao Yun couldn't bear to wake up the stone. So I could only put on my clothes silently, and then cover a cotton coat, and deal with it like that for a night.
About another 10 days passed, and the good news finally came from Deng Mei, saying that 15 pieces of their women's clothing had been sold.
"Whenever a customer comes to the store, the store manager and I will recommend your shipment first. Customers are quite interested in your clothes. Because these clothes are sold cheaper than those in other stores, many customers have said that they will tell their friends and relatives about the news. It shouldn't be too much of a problem to sell these 50 items first. ”
Xiao Yun feels that he is very lucky and always meets people who are particularly kind to help him.
"You're such a good girl. ”
Xiao Yun said to Deng Mei from the bottom of his heart.
But Deng Mei suddenly lowered her head shyly. Then she hurriedly imprinted a kiss on Xiao Yun's face with lightning speed.
After doing all this, Deng Mei ran back to her room.
Only Xiao Yun was left alone in the cold and windy night.
After Xiao Yun and the three of them put the goods in Deng Mei's shop, they began to do nothing.
Shi really wanted to go to Deng Mei's store to see the sales, but Xiao Yun said it was best not to go. Otherwise, it's as if they're spying on someone's house, leaving a bad impression on the store manager, and it's not good if you don't cooperate with them in the future.
Li Dazhuang was a heartless person, and he felt that the matter had been solved perfectly, so he encouraged the other two to take a good look around Shenhai City.
As a city emerging after the reform and opening up, Shenhai City is rapidly approaching the first-tier cities at a rapid speed.
There are many things here that you can't see in Yueling City.
It wasn't until they walked out of that cramped rental house that they really realized how big the world was.
It has the most luxurious cinema and an international airport.
When Xiao Yun and the three of them approached the airport, when they saw the plane flying over their heads, the excitement was beyond words.
At the same time, they also went to Deep Sea University.
This university is not known how many times larger than the University of the North.
It may be that the security guards thought that they looked like students from Deep Sea University, so they didn't stop them from the door.
Li Dazhuang was very excited: "It seems that I look like a college student." This is the first time I've been to a university without being seen as a bad person. ”
Shi couldn't help laughing at him: "Just how respectful you look, I'm so sorry for the people." However, people in developed cities are very different from people in small places like us, and they are more tolerant. ”
This is what they talked about casually when they first entered Deep Sea University.
But after they walked around for a while, they understood why Li Dazhuang was also able to enter Shenhai University.
Because they found that the Deep Sea University actually contained residential areas.
Many students can rent a separate room if they don't want to live in a dormitory.
Maybe the security guard regarded Li Dazhuang as a landlord, so he didn't stop him.
