Chapter 286: Su Buxiong was relegated to a deserted photo studio

Li Liang knew that there must be something wrong with Song Nanwen coming to find him, and it might be the matter of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau's awakening. It has been more than half a month since the awakening and closure of the store, and at that time Song Nanwen explained to Li Liang the reason why he couldn't wake up for the time being, but he also said that he would report to Long Yemin, a senior county official, and the final result would have to wait for the secretary to decide.

Li Liang asked Chenchen to take Song Nanyu to find a place, he went to the window of the cafeteria to cook by himself, usually he and Chenchen ate at school, and brought his own aluminum lunch box every day. The canteen of Hekang No. 1 Middle School stipulates that students can pay a certain amount of rice every month or semester, and the canteen will issue a certain amount of meal tickets to each of them.

Wealthier families will give their children a certain amount of living expenses, and students will cook in the cafeteria according to their living expenses. Of course, more rural students do not have much living expenses, and every time they return to school from home, they will bring a can and bottle of musty vegetables such as moldy tofu, dried radish or pickled peppers.

Li Liang and Chenchen only had two lunch boxes in their hands, so he borrowed a bowl from the master in charge of the canteen and helped Song Nanyan cook four taels of rice. Nowadays, people are generally able to eat on their stomachs, and Li Liang is worried that there will not be enough for Song Nanyu to eat.

The dishes in the canteen are not rich, the most common ones are nothing more than braised eggplant, dried chili, home-cooked tofu, dried radish scrambled eggs and other home-cooked dishes.

"Brother Song, I made a few dishes randomly, and I don't know if it suits your appetite?" Li Liang said with a smile.

Song Nanwen took a few mouthfuls of rice into his mouth, added another chopsticks and swallowed the chili pepper, and then responded with a smile: "Yes, that's the taste! Liangzi, to be honest, you may not believe it, when I went to school, my family was very poor, and at that time, I had a small piece of moldy tofu every day, and I had to eat a big bowl of rice."

You haven't seen my wife yet, and that's when you used a chopstick to take me captive. ”

"Ah, Brother Song, it looks like you and your sister-in-law still have an unforgettable story?" Li Liang said with a smile.

"Yes, my family was very poor at that time, every time I came to the cafeteria, I was embarrassed to come first, and every day after class, I stayed in the classroom alone to study, and I went to the cafeteria alone to eat after the other students had eaten. At that time, I went home once a month, and when I came back to school, my mother would fill me with a jar of moldy tofu, a small piece of tofu every day, and I would eat it for a month, and sometimes it was not enough at the end of the month.

I was the last one to go to the cafeteria every time, and after going there more times, I met your sister-in-law. At that time, the canteen was in charge of an eldest sister, and your sister-in-law was her daughter. Your sister-in-law didn't continue to study after graduating from junior high school, and her work couldn't be implemented, so she followed her to do chores in the cafeteria, and ate a lot of mixed rice. At that time, your sister-in-law looked at me pitiful, and every day when I came to the cafeteria to eat, she would say to herself that there were more fried dishes in the cafeteria today, and it was a pity that the students had to throw them out before they finished eating, and asked me if I would eat them. ”

"Brother Song, in fact, those dishes are not excessive, right, should be specially left for you by your sister-in-law?"

"Yes, I was stupid at the time, I really thought that there was too much fried food in the cafeteria every day, and I had to throw it away. Later, one of my classmates came to dinner late that day without knowing why. He was in front of me to do the dishes, and there were no more vegetables in the pot. He made a bowl of dry white rice and walked away. And when it was my turn, somehow, there was a small pile of vegetables in the empty vegetable bowl before. Song Nanwen recalled fondly.

"Wow, I'm so moved!" Chen Chen sighed, "Brother Song, sister-in-law must be good, when will you show us!"

"Yes, your sister-in-law is very nice. After graduating from high school, I was admitted to the Provincial Teachers College. I was afraid that she would change my mind, so I got engaged to her. Later, I went to college in Ganchang, and she helped my family a lot in Hekang. Once my mother had appendicitis and the family had no money, it was your sister-in-law who begged my mother-in-law to borrow money before going to the hospital to see a doctor!"

Li Liang listened to the story of Song Nanwen and his wife, and felt that Song Nanwen was a good person.

In later years, Li Liang also heard many similar love stories. Some are campus love, and some are childhood sweethearts' love, but many relationships, when a man or woman is admitted to college, or after graduation, this relationship will often end without a problem.

It is really rare to be like Song Nanyun, who was admitted to college without abandoning his first girlfriend.

"Brother Song, the love story between you and your sister-in-law is very touching! By the way, you said that your mother-in-law works here, is she still there?" asked Li Haoqi.

"My mother-in-law is retired, if she were, I wouldn't have been sitting here just now waiting for you to go cooking!" Song Nan said with a smile.

"Oh!"

After accompanying Song Nanyu to have a dinner to relive his high school years, Li Liang asked Chenchen to go back to the classroom with his lunch box first. He and Song walked out of the cafeteria and approached the school's fish pond to the east.

It's not yet evening self-study time, most of the students are playing sports on the playground, and this area is relatively quiet.

"Brother Song, is there something you are looking for me today?" asked Li Liang.

"Yes, Ryoko, you're so calm. I've been here for so long, you invited me to dinner, and you didn't even ask!" Song Nanyu said with a smile.

"It must be a good thing, I just want Brother Song to say it yourself!" Li Liang also smiled.

"It's a good thing, the Standing Committee of the county party committee just passed a resolution this afternoon, deciding to transfer Su Buxiong from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to the post of chairman of the Shashi Township People's Congress!" Song Nanwen said with a smile.

"Wow, that's great!" Li Liang clapped his hands.

Shashi Township is the most remote township in Hekang County, at the southwestern end of Hekang County, and the road to get there is neither a national nor a provincial highway, but a potholed township road. According to the current traffic situation, it takes at least more than two hours to drive from the county seat to Shashi Township.

Moreover, the Industrial and Commercial Bureau is a relatively middle-class unit in the administrative department of Hekang County. However, Su Buxiong, as the director of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, who had just been in office for less than a year, was transferred to Shashi Township, neither as a senior official of the township party nor as the head of the township, but as the chairman of the insignificant township people's congress.

"Liangzi, do you understand what it means?" asked Song Nanwen.

"Understood, it seems to be a flat tone, but in fact it is demoted!" Li Liang smiled, "Have Secretary Long and County Magistrate Zhang reached an agreement?"

"Hmm!" Song Nanwen said with a smile, "It's also a coincidence, it just so happened that the county Commission for Discipline Inspection received an anonymous report letter a while ago, saying that Su Buxiong was engaged in nepotism within the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. The county discipline inspection commission sent people to investigate, and the contents of the report letter were generally true. Although Su Buxiong is a person from County Magistrate Zhang, County Magistrate Zhang looks at him like this, and he hates iron and steel. In addition, the new director of the Bureau of Industry and Commerce who was replaced is also half of the county magistrate Zhang, and the county magistrate Zhang did not insist too much, and he gave up Su Buxiong!"

To be honest, Song Nanwen was really a little surprised by Li Liang's early wisdom. Generally speaking, where would an ordinary 16-year-old boy understand the twists and turns of officialdom, but when he came to Li Liang, he only said a paragraph, and before he explained it to Li Liang, Li Liang understood it all.

Since Su Buxiong is gone, he will naturally not be able to wake up, according to his usual urine, without the support of his uncle Su Buxiong in the bureau, the people who want to wake up must be in line.

Sending Song Nanwen away, Li Liang completely put down this matter. The evening self-study was over, and it was already nine o'clock. The former trio lacked Wang Chao, and only Li Liang and Chenchen were left, which made it more convenient for Li Liang and Chenchen to communicate their feelings.

However, among the two people, Chenchen is more shy, although Li Liang is an old driver, he is a little hypocritical, and he wants to relive the feeling when he was in love with his former wife, and he is not in a hurry to find out the relationship with Chenchen.

He sent Chenchen home before returning to his home.

On the first floor of my house, the supermarket has closed, but my sister's photo studio on the far left is still lit.

Li Liang pushed open the door of his sister's shop, and his sister was slapping on the table, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Sister, what are you thinking, why don't you close the shop and go upstairs to sleep?" Li Liang asked.

"Ah, it's Liangzi, what's wrong?" Sister Li Meng was awakened by Li Liang's words, and she didn't hear what her younger brother Li Liang said.

"Sister, I said, why don't you close the shop and go upstairs to rest?" Li Liang repeated again.

"Oh, it's closed, you go up first!" Li Meng replied.

Li Liang saw that something was wrong with his sister, so he asked, "Sister, what's wrong with you, is there something on your mind?"

Li Meng listened to Li Liang's question and sighed: "Liangzi, sister, I'm almost sad to death!"

"What's wrong, sister?"

"Hey, there's no business in the store!"

"How come?" Li Liang was a little surprised.

At that time, I asked my sister to go outside to learn the art of photography, because I thought that opening a photo studio was a good business that would last for a long time. In the film era, photo studios were very profitable; later the film era declined, and the digital age rose, photo studios can also be transformed into wedding photo studios.

When my sister studied in Gannan City for a month, after coming back, Li Liang dragged Manager Xiao of the county department store and asked them to help bring in the most advanced cameras and equipment from other places, and then my sister's photo studio opened freshly.

Li Liang always thought that as the first color photo studio in the county, his sister's business here should be very good, so he never asked about the things here, and he didn't expect that his sister was actually worried about business.

"Hey, I don't know why! Obviously sometimes people come into the store, but when they see me so young, they leave again! I'm almost sad to death!" Li Meng said with a sad face.

"Sister, let me ask you a question, do you just sit in the store every day and wait for customers to come to the door?" asked Li Liang.

"Yes, what's wrong?" Li Meng was puzzled, "I see that my mother and aunt are like this, every day in the store, customers come when they want to buy things!"

"Oh, my silly sister!" Li Liang almost laughed, "You just saw my mother and aunt sitting in the store every day, and there were customers in the store, but when our supermarket first opened, I entrusted the county printing house to print 20,000 leaflets and 500 posters, and hired ten classmates to distribute flyers." Mom didn't tell you about it!

Otherwise, do you expect a supermarket that has just opened and has little reputation to be full of customers every day in less than a month after it opened?"

"Ah, that's it, but I don't have a flyer in this photo studio!" Li Meng suddenly realized.

"Well, sister, I'll design one for you the day after tomorrow and Sunday. Li Liang said, "Our supermarket business is good, there are many customers every day, why don't you send it outside our supermarket every day in the future to ensure good business." ”

"But I'm embarrassed!" said my sister Li Meng embarrassedly.

Come on, this is a common problem of first-time businessmen, people like my sister are used to staying in the hospital, thin-skinned, and don't have the cheekiness of businessmen.

Li Liang smiled: "Oh, okay, my good sister, I'll find someone to send you, you just need to stay in the store and quietly pick up customers!"

"I'll go, what a pick-up, it's hard to hear!" sister Li Meng sobbed.

"By the way, sister, just handing out leaflets may have a good effect, but whether it can cause a sensation is not necessarily, after all, most people's consumption levels are limited, and photography is not a necessity of life. I have an idea here, do you think it's okay?" Li Liang suddenly had an idea in his mind.

"What's the idea?" Li Meng knew that his younger brother had a flexible brain.

"The idea is a two-step process, first of all, it has something to do with flyers. I'll design a flyer for you, and the flyer says that if you go to the store and take pictures with this leaflet, you'll get a 20% discount! What do you think?" Li Liang asked, "Do you still have any money to make in your photo studio with a 20% discount?"

"Of course there is, but I earn less!" Li Meng replied.

"Okay, then write that during the opening period, until the National Day, those who enter the store with flyers to take pictures will be discounted, do you think it's okay?" Li Liang confirmed again.

"Okay!" Li Meng nodded, "What else?"

"What's more, if you enter the store with this leaflet, for every 5 yuan of goods purchased, you can come to the store to take a 3-inch color photo for free with the shopping voucher, do you see it?" asked Li Liang.

"Ah, then didn't I lose money? What if there are a lot of people like this?" Li Meng said worriedly, "The money is spent in my mother's shop, and I can't make money here!"

"Sister, don't worry, I haven't finished yet. The gross profit margin of our supermarket is about 15% overall, and I will ask my mother to settle 6 cents for each photo, do you see it, is it enough for your cost?" Li Liang said with a smile.

Li Meng shook his head: "Film is very expensive!"
