Picking Up a Big Brother as My Husband

Xu Moran, a young female police officer, lived an ordinary life until she accidentally picked up a man on the highway. From then on, the man clung to her like glue, and her meager salary had to cov...

Chapter 155 The Little Spendthrift (shuhaige.net)

This person was indeed the manager. He stood in front of Xu Moran, gave her a standard professional smile, and then turned to the cashier to ask, "Has this lady's bill been settled?"

Unlike his smiling face towards Xu Moran, he quickly put on a serious face when facing the cashier, adopting the demeanor a leader should have in front of his subordinates.

The cashier cautiously replied, "Manager, this young lady hasn't paid yet."

"That's too..." The manager's tone immediately relaxed, and he only said two words before turning around to face Xu Moran and standing respectfully.

"Congratulations, miss! You've just won our supermarket's grand prize."

"Ah!" Xu Moran exclaimed in surprise. She had won again, and she couldn't help but wonder if there was something wrong with her ears.

The supermarket manager glanced quickly at the person standing behind Xu Moran. He was really fast; he barely touched him before looking away.

"With the Chinese New Year approaching, our supermarket has launched a promotion to thank our customers. Miss, you happen to be our 888th customer to check out today, so no matter how much you spend, this order is free," the supermarket manager explained confidently.

Xu Moran was a polite person. She waited until the supermarket manager finished speaking before turning around to look at Xu Ye.

She winked at Xu Ye, as if to say, "Is winning the lottery real? Do you really have that much luck?"

Xu Ye smiled at her, then looked past her to the supermarket manager and asked, "Did we really win the lottery?"

If Xu Moran could turn around and take a quick look at this moment, even just a fleeting glance, she would have seen that when the supermarket manager answered Xu Ye's question, besides the slightly trembling "Yes," he also nodded at a speed almost as fast as he was pounding garlic.

After receiving a firm "yes" from the supermarket manager, Xu Ye didn't say anything more. He held Xu Moran's hand with one hand and reached for a large shopping bag full of items with the other.

Xu Moran was pulled forward a few steps by Xu Ye's hand when she suddenly remembered something. She squeezed Xu Ye's palm and whispered a reminder, "Xu Ye, we forgot to say thank you to the people."

Xu Ye thought to himself, "This entire shopping mall belongs to me. Do I really need to say thank you for just taking a few things from the supermarket?"

The answer was definitely no, but Xu Moran didn't know the truth. After hearing her words, Xu Ye stopped and turned to the supermarket manager who was still standing there watching him leave, saying, "Thank you."

The supermarket manager's legs went weak and he almost lost his balance. He was truly overwhelmed that the big boss was thanking a mere manager like him.

After thanking him, Xu Ye leaned close to Xu Moran's ear and said, "Is it okay now?"

Xu Moran nodded. "This time it's acceptable, but you should still pay attention next time. It's always better to be polite than impolite."

Xiao Anhe always took every word Xu Moran said to heart. He, who rarely said thank you before, now frequently said it.

The one who felt this most deeply was Yu Lanlan. After all, she was Xiao Anhe's chief secretary, and she had to go to Xiao Anhe's office to deliver documents to him many times a day. If she said thank you once, she would just feel a little surprised, but after so many times, she felt apprehensive.

So much so that when Xiao Anhe thanked her for what felt like the umpteenth time, her legs went weak and she almost knelt down before him.

Finally, she managed to stand by holding onto the edge of the large desk with both hands, and pleaded with Xiao Anhe in a trembling voice, "Boss, did I do something wrong? Please, please don't fire me. I'll correct any mistakes. Waaah, I just bought a car and I still have a loan to pay off."

Xiao Anhe never expected that his politeness would put so much psychological pressure on Yu Lanlan. He laughed and said, "You have always done a very good job. How could I fire you? It was Ranran who told me that although you are paid by me, you are still working for me. So, both morally and logically, I should thank you."

When Yu Lanlan left the president's office, her eyes were red and swollen. She was excited, excited to have such a wonderful boss's wife.
