Chapter 15: A Sketch

This sudden request surprised Chiba.

"What do you mean?"

"You know, there's a lack of salesperson in the store, so instead of sticking to the recruitment, etc., it's better for you to make up for it first. I know you don't work long hours, you only work hours...... In this way, after lunch and before dinner, five or six hours, 3,000 plus commission per month, how about it? ”

"Me? Didn't you say you wanted to recruit someone who was beautiful and sweet-mouthed, I didn't ...... either."

"Hey, the children's clothing business has affinity, what do you want to be so beautiful. Our main consumer force is to be a mother, not a father, and it is easy to do bad things if it is too beautiful. How? ”

The boss doesn't look like he's joking.

She bit her upper lip and thought for a moment, but after all, she didn't dare to agree hastily.

"I'll think about it, I'll get back to you tomorrow."

"What is there to consider, I really want to bask in the sun every day. We've been together for a while, and we have a good impression of each other, so compatible, I'm willing to give you a chance, you just behave. The boss bared his yellow teeth and persuaded.

"I'm worried that I won't be able to do ......"

"It's okay, the boss lady and I will teach you."

She squeezed out a smile stiffly, nodded dispensably, and asked, "Boss, does this count me...... Transshipment? ”

"Of course! Let Shangguan Yu serve and ask for a big prize. If you transfer, I will be able to follow it, business has been bad recently, and we are also superstitious. The boss told the real purpose.

Although some of them couldn't laugh or cry, the generous reward was really tempting, and Chiba was moved. Although the boss's motives are not authentic, his change of attitude really confirms the theory of transfer.

In short, she is very happy today, first, to help others, and secondly, to meet a master. Lucheng is a place where unexpected things happen every day, living here, the wonderful and the unknown go hand in hand, and it is not always lifeless and the same......

Unbeknownst to her, there was an unexpected thing waiting in the back.

Leaving the children's clothing store and returning to the Sakura Apartment, she just walked outside the community when Da Mao suddenly jumped out from the side and startled her.

"I'm back!" Da Mao greeted her like an old friend, "This is for you." A blue plastic bag was handed over.

"What?" She asked curiously.

"Hometown specialty, take it." Da Mao Rig stuffed her pockets and explained with a smile, "My mother brought it to me, it's delicious, try it." ”

When I opened my pocket, I was full of sour horns, and I roughly weighed more than three catties.

"Your mother brought it to you, how can I ask for it." She hurriedly returned it.

Da Mao deliberately put his hands behind his back and refused: "She brought a lot of them and gave them them." "Then he pouted at the sentry box." Taste it, it's delicious. ”

"It's too much, just taste two, you can save more."

"I've got more, you see." Da Mao took out a few sour corners from his pocket, and was a little anxious, "Take it, it's not anything valuable." ”

His sincere appearance made it difficult to refuse, and Yang Qianye had to nod and put his pockets away. Both strangers and outsiders in this small city, Pingshui met and cherished each other, and she felt that a trace of friendship without difference was gradually forming between each other.

"Thank you then. I remember eating it once when I was a kid and it was bought for me by my mom. She smiled embarrassedly at Da Mao, and a little melancholy appeared on her face. Da Mao didn't know the meaning behind these words, and he was very happy to see her accept the sour horn.

"Sour horns are actually very sweet, there is a vulgar metaphor...... Like first love. He scratched the back of his head and said honestly, "Whenever I feel homesick, I eat one, my mouth is sour, but my heart is sweet." ”

Hearing the word "first love", a person suddenly flashed in Chiba's mind - Song Yingchen!

She herself was taken aback by this reflex of consciousness. Why did you think of Song Yingchen? What is First Love? What does that taste like?

She suddenly wanted to peel off the sour horns and taste it, in front of Da Mao.

"I can tell you're homesick." But she kept her senses, picked up her pocket, and thanked her again, "Thank you, I'll go back first." ”

Looking at her back without looking back, Da Mao's heart had a sour taste.

Back at 1101 and putting things down, she was going to wash her hands first. But when I turned on the faucet, I didn't see a drop of water, so I thought the water had stopped.

She keeps the faucet unscrewed so she can hear the water as soon as it happens.

But wait, wait, wait, until eight o'clock, there was no sign of restoring the water supply. So, she picked up the phone and consulted the butler center.

"No water? How is it possible, the water has not stopped after the delivery of the house in our community. ”

"I really can't let out water, and the faucet is still on."

"Is it that some of the children are naughty and closed the gate of your house, wait, we will send someone up to take a look."

"Did you say the little box outside the corridor, I'll go and see it myself, so I won't trouble you to run around. Thank you. ”

Hanging up the phone, she hurried to the hallway and found the sluice box with the "1101" number on it.

It was true that the sluice gate had been artificially closed, but she was not angry at the prank, and all her attention was on a piece of paper in the tank.

It was a sketch. There is a river with several longboats with roofs parked on the river, and tiled houses on both sides of the river. There is an arch bridge over the river, and the lines should be made of stone. Looking along the arch bridge to the other side, there was a little girl in the distance, raising her head and flying a kite. Judging from the appearance of those houses, this sketch should depict an ancient water town.

At the end of the sketch is written three words, chocolate.

……

No longer wearing a thick cartoon fluff jacket to expose to the sun on the street, working in a children's clothing store is much easier for Yang Qianye. The boss's attitude has also improved significantly compared to before, although she is still the essence of a businessman, but she is no longer regarded as a foreigner in her words, and she laughs and jokes from time to time, but it is also much more harmonious.

She told herself that she must perform well, and whether she can grasp the good luck is the key. She warmly greeted the customers who entered the store, patiently introduced the products to them, and accidentally saw in the mirror that she had been timid and hidden, and unconsciously began to have the confidence and freedom to match the city, and her heart was not very happy.

The sun was very poisonous, the business was not good, and the boss was bored staring at the TV to pass the time.

"Here's a message. Yesterday, an employee surnamed Chen of a branch of Lucheng Bank was suspected of going missing, and the police and his family have launched an active investigation and search. It is reported that Chen, 27 years old, is a male, and is an ordinary staff member of the bank window. Chen did not return from work that day and was in a state of disconnection. According to the family, Chen did not behave abnormally before his disappearance, and he never revealed any obvious mental pressure. The police suspect that Chen's disappearance may be related to two cases in which he disappeared on the 3rd and 27th of last month......"

Seeing this, the boss put away his hand holding his chin and said, "It's strange, one after another disappearances, what are you doing?" ”

The proprietress was also confused. "It's said that women and children are usually abducted, and adult men are also abducted?"

"How do you know if you have been abducted, maybe you have been kidnapped or even killed?" The boss looked like he knew it in his heart, "There are many people who want to go crazy about money these days, and they can't do anything." ”

"The missing few are all ordinary people, what kind of money can they have. If you want to blackmail and make a windfall, go to He Zhanting. ”

"How dare you say that." The boss squinted at the proprietress and blamed, "Be careful of being heard, they often go to the one who is missing." ”

"So what, Yang Qianye hasn't been there yet, isn't it great to have one less knife?"

The boss rolled his eyes.

At this time, Chiba opened his mouth and asked, "Is the security in Lucheng so bad?" ”

"Whether the law and order is good or not is relative, the police are strong and the law and order are relatively stable, if the police do nothing, it will be like a common thing to cheat and kill, nothing uncommon."

"Don't be afraid, the news is alarmist." The proprietress reassured, "A bunch of police who have eaten can't solve any cases, they will only play tricks in front of the people and shirk responsibility." ”

"It's better to be careful to buy a wonder." The boss got up and turned off the TV, and stretched again, "It's too rich to get close, these people are looking for ordinary people to start." Wife, let's bring some self-defense guys with us in the future...... By the way, do you have all the cash saved at home? ”

"How much money do you have that will be eyeing you? The cost of crime is already high, and the benefits are so small, people are stupid. ”

"You can't say that, whether you have money or not is not written on your face."

The proprietress snorted and started playing the mobile game to herself.

At this time, a female customer suddenly entered, dressed up, her body swaying, and her high heels hit the ground and made a tapping sound. She walked directly to the opposite shelf, looking at the row of model car toys, as if she was deliberately choosing but couldn't make up her mind.

Car toys are the most lucrative, and the boss immediately gave Chiba a look, and she greeted her.

"Hello, want to pick a toy car? We've got go-karts, cars, sports cars, engineering trucks, ......"

Hearing her say this, the female customer was stunned and turned her head after a while.

"It's you."

"Aunt Lu!"

Lu Meiqin is still wearing sunglasses, looking mysterious. She glanced at the boss behind her, squeezed out a smile and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

Chiba scratched her head in embarrassment.

"Working here."

"Oh." Lu Meiqin responded, her eyes were cast behind her again, and then the boss also looked over and smiled with a smile.

"Aunt Lu, I'll help you pick what you want to buy, discount."

"Oh, I'll take a look."

"We have car toys that sell very well here, if you want to be interested, I will introduce them to you one by one." Chiba showed the eagerness characteristic of a salesperson and looked at Lu Meiqin with a smile.

Lu Meiqin was a little embarrassed and helped her sunglasses.

"Hey, a friend is about to give birth, and it seems that he has no intention of giving red envelopes, so he just passed by here and simply came in to have a look."

"Picking a toy before you were born?"

"Ah...... Oh, the kids grow up fast, and it won't be long before they'll be able to play. Lu Meiqin prevaricated.

"Already know the gender? Boys usually play with these toys. ”

Lu Meiqin nodded noncommittally, a little cramped.

"It's too early, the toys in our store are all new in the first quarter, buy now, I'm afraid the style will be outdated, not cost-effective." Chiba whispered, lest the boss behind him hear.

"Well, then I won't buy it today." These words hit Lu Meiqin's heart, and she immediately prepared to leave, "Thank you, Xiao Yang, then I'll go first." ”

"Well, feel free to come to me if you need anything."

As soon as she arrived at the door, Lu Meiqin seemed to feel that she was too flustered and a little inappropriate, so she turned around and asked, "Oh yes, you're still used to living, right?" ”

"Habit."

"That's good, goodbye."

Watching a guest who should have made a generous move leave empty-handed, the proprietress who was secretly observing was very displeased.

"What's the matter, didn't buy anything?"

Chiba explained, "She just looked at it casually and didn't say she had to buy it." ”

"Just look at it, you can park the car on the side of the road and walk in like this, what should the traffic police do if you copy the plate?"

Looking out, Lu Meiqin was starting the engine and preparing to leave.

"I may not have picked my favorite......

The proprietress looked at her suspiciously and asked, "You two know each other?" ”

"Ah...... Well, it's my landlord, what a coincidence. Feeling that the small actions were exposed, she was a little weak-hearted.

The proprietress clipped her hands and her eyes widened.

"Let me tell you, Yang Qianye, what we do is a small business, one earns the other, and it's best not to talk about human affection or anything. It's easy to get a customer for me, and if he wants to buy one, you have to find a way to get him to buy two or three, and if he sways, you're going to make him make a decision, and if he wants to say that you're just going to hang around and you're going to have to stalk until he is embarrassed...... Anyway, it's just to make him pay for it, understand? ”

"Understood...... I'll go to the back tally. ”

She made an excuse to go into the back storeroom.

"What kind of person, the thing with the elbow turned outward, taking advantage of my business." The proprietress complained to the boss, "You were kind enough to bring her in, but she ate inside and out." In my opinion, it is still suitable to hand out flyers on the street...... Hey, I'm talking to you, what are you looking at! ”

The boss's eyes have been following Lu Meiqin since she left the store, with a foolish smile on her face.
