Shen Anan and Zeng Qingqing looked at each other and smiled helplessly. They knew that Sister Liu was like this, thick-skinned, but there was nothing they could do.
"Sister Liu, let's eat together." Shen Anan said, serving Sister Liu a bowl of rice.
Sister Liu's eyes lit up when she saw the braised pork on the table. She was so craving for meat. It had been several days since she had eaten meat. She had been eating steamed buns all day long! She now feels like a steamed bun!
As soon as we sat down, we started to eat with relish.
The next day, Sister Liu was very happy, thinking about going to the county town to perform well in front of Shen Anan and Zeng Qingqing, and strive to join their business. She finished her work at the clinic early, planning to leave early.
Unexpectedly, just when she was about to slip away, Yang Xiaoyue came over from the other end of the corridor and saw Sister Liu's hurried look.
"Sister Liu, where are you in such a hurry to go?" Yang Xiaoyue asked curiously, with inquiring eyes.
Sister Liu's heart tightened. She knew that Yang Xiaoyue and Shen Anan didn't get along. If she knew that I was going to find Shen Anan and Zeng Qingqing, there would be a big uproar. So she made up an excuse: "Oh, Xiaoyue, I just want to go to the county town to buy some things. There's nothing to do in the health center, so I'll go early."
Yang Xiaoyue's eyes lit up when she heard this: "County town? I was thinking of going to the county town for a stroll, how about we go together?"
She had to go and see what the store that Shen Anan and Zeng Qingqing opened together was all about, and whether it was really that profitable!
When Sister Liu heard this, her heart skipped a beat. She didn't want Yang Xiaoyue to follow her. If she found out that she was going to find Shen Anan and Zeng Qingqing, it would be troublesome. But she couldn't refuse directly, so she could only laugh dryly: "Ah, this...my things are not easy to buy, I'm afraid of wasting your time!"
However, Yang Xiaoyue didn't care about that. She was not in the mood to go to work today, so she decided to go to the county town for a stroll. She could also keep an eye on Sister Liu to see what she was doing.
"It's okay, I don't have anything to do today. Let's go together." Yang Xiaoyue said, and took Sister Liu's arm.
Sister Liu felt so regretful when Yang Xiaoyue held her hand. If she had known, she would not have left so early. Now, she was met by Yang Xiaoyue! She could only bite the bullet and agree: "Okay, let's go together."
The two walked out of the clinic together. Sister Liu was feeling very nervous and didn't know what to do. As she walked, she was thinking in her mind that when she arrived at the county town, she would have to find an excuse to get rid of Yang Xiaoyue so that she could go find Shen Anan and Zeng Qingqing.
On the other side, Shen Anan was busy in the store, and she was enthusiastically entertaining customers who came into the store. Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of several familiar figures outside the window. Aren’t they the military wives who had a good relationship with Yang Xiaoyue? They walked into the store talking and laughing.
As soon as these military wives entered the store, their eyes lit up. They were extremely excited when they saw the new style skirts hanging in the store. A relative of one of them bought a skirt of this style in Guangcheng and said it looked particularly beautiful when she wore it.
"We want this skirt, one for each of us!"
A military wife said excitedly.
However, Shen Anan smiled and replied: "These skirts have been ordered, and I have to follow the rules. I can customize a few more for you, but it will take some time."
The military wives were a little disappointed after hearing this. They still had to queue up? How long will it take for this to happen? So he started to play the emotional card: "An An, we are all from the same military compound, please be more flexible."
Shen Anan was a little embarrassed. She knew that these military wives had helped Yang Xiaoyue isolate her and Zeng Qingqing before, but she didn't want to offend the customers because of this matter.
Just then, Zeng Qingqing came out from behind. When she saw these military wives, she became furious. She knew their previous attitude towards Shen Anan and herself, and now they came to beg for mercy, she really couldn't bear it.
"We have rules in our store, and they can't be broken. How did you treat us before? Now you're begging for mercy. This isn't appropriate."
Zeng Qingqing's face darkened.
She had long been fed up with this group of people. They isolated her before, and then when An An came, they isolated An An. They do nothing all day long but just isolate others!
Those military wives were stunned by what Zeng Qingqing said, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
Zhou Lanfang, who was standing at the front, couldn't help but said, "Zeng Qingqing, you are meddling in other people's business. This shop is not yours. You are just following An An."
As soon as these words came out, Zeng Qingqing's face suddenly turned ugly. She didn't expect the other party to belittle her so bluntly. The military wives continued, "That's right! You have to ask An An whether she wants to sell skirts or not. After all, An An opened this store."
They just don't believe that they are stepping on Zeng Qingqing and praising Shen Anan. At this point, Shen Anan still won't give them face?
But what they didn’t expect was that Shen Anan’s face darkened after hearing this.
"Gentlemen, what you said is wrong. Qingqing is my partner and my friend. We opened this store together. Without her, there would be no store."
The military wives felt a little embarrassed after hearing what Shen Anan said. They didn't expect Shen Anan to stand so firmly on Zeng Qingqing's side.
Shen Anan continued, "Besides, we haven't forgotten what you did before. Now you are trying to sow discord between us again. We won't sell this skirt."
She had a bad impression of these military wives, especially Zhou Lanfang. She quarreled at home all day long. When she quarreled, she would throw a bunch of organs at them and curse loudly. She had not slept well because of this!
Zeng Qingqing, who was standing by, almost cried when she saw Shen Anan speaking for her like this.
Sure enough, An An felt that she was important! An An is so nice!
Several military wives originally thought that Shen Anan would take their face into consideration and at least sell them skirts, but Shen Anan's firm attitude completely stunned them. They didn’t expect Shen Anan to refuse so directly, and to stand up for Zeng Qingqing.
"You...what's your attitude?" Zhou Lanfang was so angry that she stuttered, with obvious dissatisfaction and embarrassment in her voice.
Shen Anan did not give in. Her voice was clear and firm: "My attitude is very clear. This store is jointly owned by Qingqing and me. Besides, we haven't forgotten what you did before. Anyway, we won't sell this skirt to you."
The military wives were choked by Shen Anan's words and were speechless. Their faces turned red and white, and they were obviously very angry. They didn't expect Shen Anan to be so disrespectful and make them lose face in the store!
"Humph, if you don't want to sell it, then don't sell it. What's the big deal? Who cares?"
