Chapter Sixty-Three: Enemies from a Past Life
The last time I saw Zhou Congsheng, his wrists seemed to be bare, and since their engagement, she didn't seem to have given him anything decent.
"Comrade, could you please take this watch?"
“............”
Shen Yuzhu tugged at the corners of her mouth, a smile spreading across her face, and said very sincerely, "Salesperson, could you please get this watch for me? I'd like to take a look."
"Tch~..."
Shen Yuzhu closed her eyes, gritted her teeth, and continued, "Same..."
"Hey, you woman selling this, bring me this watch, I want to buy it. I've said it so many times, can't you hear me? Are your ears stuffed with pig bristles?"
Once is never enough. Her good mood for the day was ruined by this salesperson. He didn't give her a friendly look from the moment he walked in. Although these days people with secure jobs are often very arrogant, and the supply and marketing cooperatives have posted signs saying: "No beating people without cause."
But this isn't a supply and marketing cooperative in a county town or commune; this is a department store in the provincial capital.
With this kind of service attitude, this woman must have something wrong with her. Shen Yuzhu was sure she wouldn't dare to cause trouble for her.
"What are you howling about? We're here now. Do you even know where you are? This is so rude and shows a lack of manners."
"You think you're so high-class? You think you're so high-class? You roll your eyes at people as soon as you walk in. You think you're so high-class? I called you once, twice, three times and you didn't hear me. If you have hearing problems, at least try to communicate. I'm not discriminating against you, but instead, you deliberately ignore people. Hahaha... I'm here to spend money, not to be bullied. You're bullying and belittling the people. I'm going to report you. Where's the manager? Is there anyone in charge?"
"Shut up, or I'll tear your mouth apart. You look like a thief with shifty eyes; you're obviously not a good person. Where else do you want to cause trouble but come to our department store? The first thing you do is ask about watches, and men's watches at that. You're a disreputable scoundrel. And you have the nerve to report me? Report your grandma's bowlegs!"
The saleswoman was furious, her face turning red. In all the time she'd been working there, she'd never seen anyone dare to talk back to her like that. If this weren't at work, she would have definitely given this little brat a piece of her mind.
It wasn't yet closing time, and there were still quite a few people in the department store. Seeing the tall, burly saleswoman bullying a pretty young girl like this, they all looked displeased.
"!!!"
“............”
Shen Yuzhu pointed at herself incredulously, "You can insult my grandma, but you can't say I have shifty eyes. If I look like a shifty-eyed person, what are you? A frog that's been kissed by a toad, ugly, frivolous, and loves to babble."
Everyone: "......."
Why is this little girl so concerned about her appearance? She has no filial piety at all!
"you......"
"What do you mean, 'you'? You think you're so high-class, yet you start swearing right away? Did you even go to school? You're a slippery fish, aren't you? Someone who's been to school can just open their mouth and swear like that, and you're working as a salesperson in the service industry? You got in through connections, didn't you? Ugh, your mouth stinks. Did you use your big teeth to plow a manure field at lunchtime?"
"Ah~ I'll fight you to the death!"
"Shut up! What are you doing? It's you again! Why is it always you causing trouble? Ding Yaqin, if you don't want to work here, get out! Because of you, you've ruined the reputation of our department store. Get out!"
"No, it's not the manager, it's this woman..."
"Get out, get out! Anyone who's even slightly prettier than you is always at fault. Do you think I didn't hear you? Such a beautiful woman, and you call her shifty-eyed? What, you think you're the only pretty one? You think you're some kind of angel? You're crazy. Get out of here. I'll remember this as a big mistake. If it happens again, you can just get out of here."
Ding Yaqin glared at Shen Yuzhu resentfully, then turned and ran away with a flushed face.
Seeing a crowd gathered in front of the counter, the manager quickly smiled apologetically at them, said a few more words of apology, and even took a handful of candy from the candy counter and distributed it to the onlookers.
Even those who had reservations were quickly silenced by this display of behavior.
"Sorry sir, it was our department store's fault for not providing good service earlier. What do you want? I'll personally serve you, hehehe..."
"Um, could you please take out that men's watch so I can take a look?"
......
The incident at the department store was just a minor episode. Shen Yuzhu had found something she liked and was about to leave with the bag when she saw a man arguing with a woman not far away. She paused, took a closer look, and was immediately startled and gasped.
This is my enemy from a past life, Yu Xiaolin.
She had bribed Zhong Fu to pass on a message to her, saying that Lü Jiahao was thinking of her and longing for her, and that she should take good care of herself.
He kept her hanging on with his fatherly love while simultaneously instigating the other educated youth to turn against her.
Because they were both from Haicheng, she trusted Yu Xiaolin completely. In order to get more information about Lü Jiahao, she even took a lot of the grain and work points she earned from him.
Once she was no longer of any use to Yu Xiaolin and Yu Xiaolin had had enough of her, she was pushed into the river, thus ending her life.
Judging from Yu Xiaolin's appearance, he must be a newly arrived educated youth. I think it won't be long before I see him in the production team.
Shen Yuzhu stared at him intently for a long time with bloodshot eyes before letting out a cold snort and turning away.
After spending a week in the provincial capital, she submitted two translated manuscripts. Director Shao gave her a rather thick envelope, which she opened and counted: 328 yuan.
She was about to go back, and Director Shao said that since she was taking advantage of the winter break, she should translate more materials. While she was waiting outside, she scribbled and drew on paper.
Thinking about the short stories she had read online, she adapted them herself and wrote them down on paper. Her hand got sore from writing, and when she turned to see why Director Shao hadn't come over yet, she saw Ren Baobei standing behind her at some point.
"Oh my god, you scared me to death."
"Oh my god, you scared me to death."
The two of them patted their chests in unison. Ren Baobei blinked and grabbed the paper from Shen Yuzhu's desk.
"Why......"
"Your little story is really interesting, why don't you publish it?"
"Published? This little story can be published? I just wrote it randomly!"
Ren Baobei rolled her eyes at her. "Why can't it be published? I think your story is very interesting. Anyway, you're not going back until tomorrow. You can polish this little story and write two more. I'll take you to the newspaper office. If it's published, you can give me a share of the money!"
Shen Yuzhu propped her face up with her hand and looked at Ren Baobei with a smile.
"Honey, do you know someone at the newspaper office?"
"Hehehe... I knew beautiful girls were smart. My dad is the editor-in-chief of a newspaper, and he's been saying he wants to start a children's book column. Your little story is perfect for the parenting section. I've run out of pocket money, so if you approve it, you have to share some with me, okay?!"
Shen Yuzhu: "......."
What incredible luck! I've fallen for some precious gem!
