This is what Yan Xin meant by treating her well. A pager costs several hundred yuan, and she's willing to spend that much on something so expensive, which shows how much she values Lin Chacha.
Another week passed, and Lin Xiazhu wanted to go back to town, but Yan Xin made an excuse to keep her there, asking her to deliver goods to a clothing store in the market in the south of the city.
Yan Xin's clothing store is located in the east of the city. Her house is large, so she always receives a lot of goods, both in terms of style and quantity. She even has a room upstairs that she uses as a warehouse, where she stores cheap wholesale clothes.
Only the shops in the store sell high-quality goods, while the small shops in the county market sell cheap clothes. Half of the people come to Yanxin's store to wholesale clothes.
It was Lin Xiazhu who dragged Yan Xin to negotiate back then. Because the price was only slightly higher than in the city, it saved on transportation and labor costs, making it more cost-effective. So half of the people were willing to cooperate with Yan Xin.
To facilitate wholesale business, Lin Xiazhu spent a huge sum of money to buy a dragon-horse car. Yan Xin even went to take a driving test for it, and of course, Lin Xiazhu also paid for the test.
Yan Xin already knew how to drive, but she didn't have a driver's license yet and needed to get one. However, it was easy for her; she got her license in less than a month.
After that, when she needed to buy goods, she could drive to the city herself. However, she always bought goods on weekends, so Lin Xiazhu could go with her. Lin Xiazhu's role was essentially that of a bodyguard. If anything happened on the way, she wouldn't have to worry too much with Lin Xiazhu by her side.
When the two of them went to the city to buy goods, Zhao Ting would look after the clothing store, and Xiao An, Lin Xiaoxue, and Lin Taozi would also help look after the store.
Zhao Ting had originally planned to go out to work, and her family also wanted her to go out because factory work could earn her about 300 yuan a month, which was 100 yuan more than helping someone run a shop in town.
At that time, Lin Chacha went to Zhao Ting's house to tell her that she could go to the county town to continue helping to run the shop. Zhao Ting's parents disagreed, feeling that she could earn more money by going out and that it would be more respectable to work outside.
But Zhao Ting is also a person with her own opinions. When she heard that she could go to the county town to run a shop, she immediately decided not to go out to work. She was willing to help sell clothes because she liked selling clothes and did not want to work in a factory.
This led to a fight with her family, and Zhao Ting's mother even threatened, "If you dare to disobey and not go to work in the factory, don't ever come back."
Zhao Ting didn't care; she just wanted to do things her own way. That very day, she packed her clothes and went to the county town to find Zhao Xiaolian, and then stayed there without going back.
After learning about her family situation, Lin Xiazhu asked her, "Zhao Ting, your parents must be very angry with you, right? Isn't that a bad thing?"
She thought Zhao Ting was efficient, eloquent, pretty, and always smiling, which made Lin Xiazhu very fond of her. That's why she wanted to invite her again. If her family really didn't want to, they could have hired someone else.
But Zhao Ting didn't care. She smiled indifferently, "It's okay. My parents are just greedy. They think they can earn more money by going out. This month, I took nearly a hundred yuan of my salary as commission and sent it all back home. They've quieted down since then."
That's right. The clothing store has a base salary of 200 yuan, and then there's a commission for every piece of clothing sold. They just opened last month and did a promotional event, so business was very good, and Zhao Ting's commission was quite substantial.
As long as she performs well, she will receive a bonus. Now she lives and eats with Lin Xiazhu and the others, and they don't charge her for the accommodation, but they deduct a small amount for food, which is only fifty yuan.
However, Zhao Ting was able to earn back her food expenses because the store also wholesaled clothes. Lin Xiazhu bought a tricycle, and when she was busy, Zhao Ting would deliver the goods. The delivery wages covered her food expenses.
In short, Zhao Ting likes her current job very much. She would never work in a factory; she sells clothes in a clothing store. She hopes to have her own clothing store in the future when she has saved enough money.
She didn't hide this from Yan Xin and Lin Xiazhu, and neither of them thought she was an ingrate who was now trying to steal their business.
On the contrary, I think she is very ambitious. A young girl who graduated from junior high school, grew up in the countryside, and is only twenty years old knows how to plan for the future. She has a lot of vision.
Lin Xiazhu was rushed to deliver the goods. After unloading the goods and settling the bill, she didn't go back immediately. Instead, she turned around and went to browse the market across the street. This market sells all kinds of things.
It was simply divided into sections. The meat vendors were at the very back, then the vegetable and egg vendors were at the front, and further out were fruit vendors and farm tools vendors and other miscellaneous vendors.
Lin Xiazhu was going to buy meat. Xiao An and her sisters, including herself, all loved meat and ate it with every meal. Their soup was bone broth, and now the price of bones was going up.
Two yuan can't buy a basin anymore. The price is the same as pork, five yuan a pound. Beef is one yuan cheaper than pork. Nowadays, people still prefer pork. Not many people eat beef. Slaughtering cattle is more common. There are several pork vendors in a market, but only one beef vendor.
Lin Xiazhu buys a pound of beef and two ribs every day, and occasionally she also buys a pig's stomach or heart to stew with chicken.
Today was no exception. After buying meat, I bought two bunches of bok choy and headed towards the tricycle.
"This sickle was just made yesterday, it's very profitable, I'll only sell it for ten yuan... That's too expensive, I'll lose money if it's any cheaper, no, no, ten yuan is the only price."
Suddenly, a rough voice rang out, making Lin Xiazhu's eardrums feel uncomfortable. She glanced at it subconsciously as she walked, then looked away indifferently.
After taking a few steps, she suddenly stopped and then turned around sharply.
It's so similar, it's really too similar.
Narrowing her eyes, Lin Xiazhu turned around and went back to the blacksmith's stall, pretending to glance at the sickles and hoes.
Then, glancing at the handsome boy of about fifteen next to the blacksmith, he asked indifferently, "How much is a sickle?"
As she spoke, her eyes were fixed on the other person. Damn, this guy looked so much like Chen Zisong's older brother, Chen Zinan. He was clearly a miniature version of Chen Zinan.
Back when Chen Zisong was relentlessly pursuing her, besides Yan Xin constantly causing her trouble, there was another person who went even further than Chen Zinan. The small factory where she worked was on the verge of bankruptcy because of his intervention.
This wealthy young master never bothered to meet her, and he always suppressed her behind her back. Back then, Lin Xiazhu was forced into a very difficult situation by him. She had never met Chen Zinan in person, only knew his name, and knew his face from television and various magazines and newspapers.
When asked why she remembered it so clearly, she said it was because she hated him to the core. He thought he was so great just because his family had a little money. He would suppress her at the slightest disagreement, so much so that even when she got a terminal illness, she couldn't just wait to die in peace.
Yan Xin was able to find her last hiding place only because Chen Zinan sent people to follow her. That's why Yan Xin was able to find her so quickly. What a petty man! He's despicable.
The young man pursed his lips, somewhat puzzled. Why was this kid so hostile towards him? They didn't seem to know each other.
