Let's rewind half an hour.
Two cars were parked at the street corner. Uncle Song, Liu Yujie, and the secretary got out of the first car, while the women of the Song family got out of the second car.
Cousin Song and Liu Yujie walked ahead, chatting happily.
Aunt Song glanced at the driver and asked Madam Song, puzzled, "Mom, why didn't my eldest brother come along?"
Madam Song immediately put on a sour face.
Li Ling covered her mouth and chuckled, "Last night, my brother went crazy for some reason. He smashed the study to pieces, then drove off and we couldn't find him all night!"
"Mom, I called this morning and my older brother said he has something to do and won't be coming!"
Madam Song glared at Li Ling fiercely: "You're so talkative!"
Song Xiaogu lowered her head and smiled; her second sister-in-law was indeed annoying.
Liu Yujie led the way, and as they were talking, Uncle Song's eyes lit up when he saw a bustling shop not far away.
"Yujie, is that your shop?"
Liu Yujie's heart skipped a beat. She cursed Zhou Hongyu a few times, then forced a smile and said, "No, Uncle, my shop is just a few rooms away."
Uncle Song nodded. Judging from the business of this shop, the shops next door should be doing just as well.
After squeezing through the long queue in front of Zhou Hongyu's shop, the group was dumbfounded.
The Peng family's goods haven't arrived, and they haven't opened for business yet.
The other mysterious person's shop remained completely inactive from the beginning, as if they had too much money to spend and would just sell it and leave it unattended.
The Liu family...
Li Ling must have done it on purpose, because she chuckled and said, "There aren't any shops doing business in the next few houses! It looks like the warehouse of the one in front!"
It was full of sarcasm.
Song Xiaogu covered the corners of her mouth that were turned up, her eyes filled with laughter.
Madam Song's face turned even uglier.
Liu Yujie made a solemn promise, but in the end, she pulled this stunt on her. Did she have a grudge against her and deliberately made her look bad in front of Uncle Song?
Liu Yujie hadn't expected things to turn out this way. The storefront was unusually deserted, just as Li Ling had said: the shops counting back from Zhou Hongyu's looked just like warehouses!
Liu Yujie's hands, hidden under her sleeves, trembled slightly.
Qi Fenglian took three thousand yuan from Qingyun. That was three thousand yuan!
Even if you throw three thousand dollars into water, you can still hear the water splashing!
She had instructed her younger sister, Liu Yuping, long ago that if she ever received a notification from her, she should make sure to pay a hefty sum to put on a show for her.
That's it—
Uncle Song didn't think it was a big deal. The worst thing for young people is a lack of ambition. As long as they have ideas and eventually take action, that's enough. He had very low expectations for the younger generation.
He raised his hand to break the awkward silence: "Since it's not as good as the previous house, let's go take a look, find out the problems, and strive to make it better in the future!"
Liu Yujie forced a smile and led the way, no longer engaging in idle chatter with Uncle Song, since the facts were right in front of her.
As I approached the door, loud music drifted from inside the store.
Liu Yuping sat behind the counter, playing music on a transistor radio and singing along. On the counter were a half-empty bottle of wine and a small dish of peanuts. She sang loudly while eating the peanuts and drinking the wine.
Liu Yujie took a few deep breaths and barely regained her composure. She knocked on the door to remind Liu Yuping.
Without turning her head, Liu Yuping yelled at the people standing at the door, "What are you banging on? We don't do business here!"
Ever since Qi Fenglian was hospitalized due to excessive emotional distress during her pregnancy, this shop has become Liu Yuping's domain, where she enjoys herself immensely.
Previously, when she was the store manager, her second sister, Liu Yuting, was still working in the store. Liu Yuting was stubborn and wouldn't let her do this or that. She sighed and worried about the store's business every day, so although she was the store manager in name, she was restricted in many ways.
Later, Qi Fenglian became the store manager, a position she had taken from Qi Fenglian.
One day, Liu Yuping suddenly had a change of heart.
While Qi Fenglian was away, she was going to cause a ruckus, turning the shop into a place that would incur the wrath of both heaven and man, so that even the dogs would avoid it. Only then could the eldest sister see that Qi Fenglian was completely unsuitable to be the shop manager.
Uncle Song glanced at the unruly Liu Yuping and frowned: "Yujie, the biggest problem with this store is your employees!"
His liking for Liu Yujie dropped several notches.
If Liu Yujie's shop were really as good as she claimed, it wouldn't be like this.
"Uncle, we will definitely improve upon your suggestions!"
Liu Yujie's eyes blazed with anger as she raised her voice, "Are we even going to do business anymore?!"
Hearing the familiar voice startled Liu Yuping, who quickly turned off the music and stood up. When she saw the Song family members standing behind Liu Yujie, she wished she could shrink into a quail.
Liu Yujie walked up to her and shouted sternly, "If you don't feel comfortable here, then get out!"
Uncle Song nodded. A boss should have this kind of attitude, otherwise even the employees below will not listen to him.
It seems he misunderstood Liu Yujie. Liu Yujie's problem isn't serious; she just chose the wrong person.
At this moment, Li Ling couldn't help but retort, "Sister-in-law, don't be so fierce to your sister."
Madam Song was furious, wishing she could poke a hole in Li Ling with her eyes, calling her an idiot!
What do you mean by "sister"? Saying something like that at a time like this is just mindless.
Uncle Song had never met Liu Yuping before. If no one present said anything, how could Uncle Song possibly know?
Sure enough, Uncle Song frowned after hearing this. So he was still practicing nepotism. It seemed that Liu Yujie had a serious problem!
Liu Yujie had her back to her cousin Song, clutching her chest and trembling slightly.
She might die of a heart attack any day now—
After an awkward silence, Uncle Song casually suggested that Liu Yujie show them around the store, and that he would have to go back to the company after giving his feedback.
