Chapter 261 Under Investigation
Hearing this, Ye Ying felt a warm feeling in her heart and a smile appeared on the corners of her mouth.
"No, there's no way those youngsters could recognize me! The incident happened several blocks away from here. They would never have thought that I was the owner of this store!"
Ji Lianqi nodded, "Let's go home."
Since this man was here, Ye Ying suddenly wanted to eat in the restaurant next door before going back, so she mentioned it.
So the two of them went into the restaurant, ordered one or two more dishes, and only rode their bikes back after they had a satisfying meal.
Before going to bed, Ji Lianqi said that he was still worried and would come to pick her up in the next few days.
Ye Ying felt that this was an exaggeration and refused to agree at first. This was too much trouble.
And he has been busy with military matters recently.
But in the end, her objections were drowned out by his breath.
The next day, after she and Sun Xi put away the remaining goods in the store that had not yet been put on the shelves, Ye Ying began to ponder the pile of ugly sandals.
This kind of shoes is usually worn by older women and young girls don't like them.
After thinking for a long time, Ye Ying placed all the sandals outside the door, found a cardboard, and wrote two lines on it: "If you spend any amount in this store, your mother can come and get a pair for free with your record."
Finally, the words "Limited quantity, first come first served" were emphasized in larger font.
After all, these were given to her for free by the stall owner Zheng, so she doesn't feel bad about it.
It just so happens that these are women's sandals, so it is great to be able to use them to attract new customers while also gaining some word of mouth.
Just after the cardboard was put out, people started coming to the store to inquire about it.
Admittedly, these sandals are ugly, but who doesn’t want to take advantage of a bargain?
After two young girls of about seventeen or eighteen went out with smiles, holding the "sandals exchange vouchers" given to them by Ye Ying, a little girl who looked a little old came in.
He looks no more than seven or eight years old.
The little girl timidly rummaged through her worn pocket, took out two cents and put it in front of Ye Ying.
"Sister, I only have two cents, what can I buy?"
Two cents...
Ye Ying frowned slightly. Although the things in her store were not expensive, it seemed that there were no such cheap things...
Seeing Ye Ying remained silent, the little girl bit her lip and said, "I want to get a pair of new sandals for my mother. In order to save money for my schooling, her sandals were torn again and again, and she was reluctant to buy new ones. She always used hot irons to heat them up and then continued to wear them."
After hearing what the child said, Ye Ying was shocked and felt a little uncomfortable.
At this time, the little girl handed over her two cents again: "Do you have anything worth two cents, sister?"
"Yes! I'll get it for you right now!"
Ye Ying sighed, went to the shelf and took two small round ball head ropes for her, "Take them, and then go outside and pick out a pair of sandals for your mother to wear back!"
The little girl widened her eyes and said, "Shouldn't she come over to get it?"
"No need, just take it back for her!"
The little girl immediately revealed a reserved smile, thanked Ye Ying several times, and then went to the door to carefully choose shoes for her mother.
"Sister, I want this pair!" The little girl held a pair of rose-red sandals in her hand.
Ye Ying smiled and nodded: "Okay! Take it back to her quickly."
The little girl came in again and said a few words of thanks very politely before leaving happily.
As soon as he walked out of the store, he ran away.
"This kid is so filial." Sun Xi beside her sighed sincerely, "Her mother must be very good to her."
Hearing the envy in Sun Xi's words, Ye Ying remembered that she had said that her parents had died a long time ago, so she comforted her with a few words.
In one day, dozens of pairs of sandals were given away.
There are also many people who have received the redemption coupons but have not come to claim them yet.
Ye Ying counted and found that she still had more than 300 redemption coupons left.
The number of redemption coupons is consistent with the stock of sandals, and once they are given away, they will be gone, so there are at least more than 300 pairs of sandals that are "unowned".
It took about three days, and almost all of the hundreds of pairs of defective sandals were delivered.
Many people heard about it from their neighbors or relatives and friends, and then rushed over to take advantage.
Therefore, in the past few days, both inside and outside the "Yuejirong" store have been bustling like never before.
Both young and old came.
Not only was Ye Ying tired of dealing with those taking advantage of the ladies outside, but Sun Xi, who was collecting the money inside, was also tired.
Looking at the almost empty shelves in the store and the few unclaimed pairs of plastic sandals lying in the corner, Ye Ying and Sun Xi smiled at each other tiredly.
Although I didn’t make much money, I let more people know about the new store here.
After restocking the empty shelves with goods, Ye Ying let Sun Xi go home first.
I was waiting for Ji Lianqi in the store.
He has indeed come to pick me up on time these few days.
Although she kept saying no, she felt very happy when she really saw him coming.
But what happened today? I'm already half an hour late and I haven't seen him yet. I'm afraid he can't come because of something?
How about going back first?
Thinking of this, Ye Ying waited for a while, but still didn't see anyone, so she locked the door and planned to go back first.
A familiar voice came from behind: "Ye Ying, hurry up, let's go!"
Ye Ying quickly turned around and saw Ye Ning riding a bicycle.
"Brother, why are you here? Where is Ji Lianqi?"
Ye Ning curled his lips and said, "Sister, please get on the bike first. I'll talk to you on the way."
Ye Ying then got on her own bicycle and rode side by side with Ye Ning.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with him?"
"He and Wei Hongxing temporarily went to the provincial military district to accept investigation."
"Ah?! Accept investigation?" Ye Ying sensitively realized that something was wrong. Could it be related to the spy he mentioned some time ago?
"What do you want to investigate him for?"
Ye Ning looked serious, "Military secrets have been leaked recently. Basically, no one can escape this investigation. Maybe in a few days, it will be your brother's turn."
It turned out to be because of this incident!
Ye Ying sighed: "So he asked you to pick me up?"
"That's right!" Ye Ning glanced at Ye Ying impatiently: "I have to say, women are really troublesome! And they need to be picked up by others!"
Ye Ying: .....
"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"
Ye Ying curled her lips in dissatisfaction and said, "No wonder you have been single for more than 30 years. It's not without reason."
The two quarreled all the way.
When I returned to the house, Ji Lianqi was not there.
However, since this is a survey for everyone, there shouldn't be any problems, right?
