Wang Peng scratched his head and said, "The 200 yuan discount was Brother Lin's suggestion; I just followed his advice."

At this point, Wang Peng added, "This large order may no longer be available to me, so whether there are preferential treatments or not is no longer important."

Dong Zheng laughed and said, "Dong Lin just talks nonsense. His mouth is unreliable."

"I don't think so. Being eloquent is a good thing."

Wang Peng shook his head. "I'm a rather quiet person and I don't like to talk much. I need to learn from him in that respect."

Dong Zheng's brows relaxed as he praised his son to the father and son, which always put people in a good mood.

"Mr. Dong, I'm not here to discuss business today. Goodbye."

Wang Peng got up and shook hands with him, then turned and went downstairs, where he saw Dong Lin sitting in a chair playing games.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out they were playing Tetris.

"Brother Peng, I bet you two haven't reached an agreement." Dong Lin paused the game.

“You’re right, do you want to come back to school with me?” Wang Peng said. “Or I can come pick you up tomorrow?”

"No need, I'll take the bus back." Dong Lin handed the game console to Wang Peng, "You can play with it for a few days."

"Thanks, my brother, but I don't know how to play." Wang Peng patted him on the shoulder and drove away from the liquor market.

Upon arriving at the tobacco and liquor store, they found only Dong Shishi inside.

"Brother Peng, Du Lei went out to deliver goods. Kaiyue Braised Noodles Restaurant needs two boxes of Huangtudi (a type of local specialty)," Dong Shishi said.

"How did he deliver it? Did he ride a bicycle?" Wang Peng asked.

“Take the bus.” Dong Shishi pointed to the bus stop sign outside. “Brother Peng, Mingzhu and I couldn’t persuade him.”

Carrying two cases of liquor on the bus, Wang Peng felt that Du Lei must have suffered some kind of shock.

"Mingzhu's mom just came over; she'll make dumplings for you when she gets home," Dong Shishi said with a smile. "You like dumplings?"

“It’s not about love, I’m not picky about food,” Wang Peng said. “Is your family situation really that bad? I mean, I can lend you some money for emergencies.”

Dong Shishi quickly waved her hand. "Brother Peng, my mother's illness isn't serious. I'm already extremely grateful for the good job you've given me."

"Okay, tell me if you have any difficulties."

Wang Peng glanced at his watch. "Just discuss what you want to eat with Du Lei. I'm leaving now."

After saying that, he picked up his keys and went out.

As Dong Shishi watched the car drive away, she felt envious. "Mingzhu is so lucky. I want to find a boyfriend like that too."

At that moment, a bus stopped outside, and Du Lei got off.

There were only the two of them in the shop, and they didn't know how to start a conversation, so they were both quite awkward for a while.

"Well, you watch the shop, I'll go upstairs first."

Du Lei felt uncomfortable with Dong Shishi's presence, so he put down his newspaper, went upstairs, and lay down on the bed to rest.

A wave of drowsiness washed over him, and he drifted off to sleep, dreaming that he was getting married in his dream, and the bride was wearing a red veil.

He lifted the bride's veil, and his heart skipped a beat. The bride was actually Huang Xiaolan, a prostitute. He was so frightened that he turned and ran away.

Huang Xiaolan grabbed his sleeve and kept calling, "Brother Lei, Brother Lei..."

Du Lei broke out in a cold sweat, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Dong Shishi's face again.

"Brother Lei, you watch the shop for me, I'm going to find someone..." Dong Shishi shed tears.

"What's wrong?" Du Lei hurriedly sat up in bed. "What's wrong? Why are you crying?"

"Someone just bought a case of Niu Tou Jiu for 48 yuan and gave me 50 yuan. I was confused and gave him 52 yuan in change."

Dong Shishi completely broke down, "Go downstairs quickly, I'm going to find him."

After saying that, she hurriedly turned around and went downstairs, disappearing at the top of the stairs in the blink of an eye.

Du Lei was stunned. The wine cost forty-eight yuan, and the change was fifty-two yuan. He was going to lose a fortune.

He hurriedly put on his shoes and went downstairs, but there was no sign of Dong Shishi in the store.

"Poor girl, she made such a big mess on her first day of work?"

Du Lei was both amused and exasperated. He carried the stool and chair outside, but couldn't see anyone, so he sat down at the door to read the newspaper.

On the street, Dong Shishi was crying as she searched for the person who had just bought the wine.

Passersby looked at her with curiosity.

She searched for an unknown amount of time but couldn't find the person. Finally, she gave up and squatted outside the Civil Affairs Bureau, crying.

She felt as if her heart was being torn apart by betraying her boss's trust.

At this moment, a bicycle came out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, with a case of "Bull Head" brand liquor strapped to the back seat.

The two locked eyes, and Dong Shishi immediately got up from the ground and grabbed his bicycle handlebars.

“I work at a tobacco and liquor store. You only had fifty yuan from me. I gave you fifty-two yuan in change. I thought you gave me a hundred.”

Dong Shishi cried again, "Uncle, please give me the extra money, please."

"Don't cry, let me think."

The middle-aged man was a little confused. He pointed at Dong Shishi and asked, "Are you a sales clerk at Brothers Tobacco and Liquor Store?"

"Yes, you just bought this case of wine, and I gave you the wrong change." Dong Shishi nodded hurriedly.

"Don't worry, let me check."

The man took out the money from his pocket; there was a hundred-yuan bill, a fifty-yuan bill, and some change.

"Hehe, you're such a scatterbrain." The middle-aged man laughed and handed her fifty-two yuan.

"Young lady, I remember very clearly, I only had one hundred-yuan bill in my pocket," the middle-aged man said.

"Thank you, uncle, thank you, uncle." Dong Shishi clutched the money and bowed deeply to him.

The middle-aged man said, "I was confused at the time too. I also thought I gave you a hundred. We're both confused today."

The middle-aged man laughed heartily at this.

Dong Shishi forced a smile, "Uncle, good people are rewarded. I wish you a promotion and great wealth."
