Chapter 274 It’s a bit ugly, but it’s a pity to give it away
Sun Xi was silent for a moment, then obediently went to sort out the goods scattered on the ground.
At this time, Mr. and Mrs. Xu Yang from the hotel next door came over and greeted us with concern.
Although their store is right next to Ye Ying's, fortunately the fire was dealt with in time and was not affected much, and their store was not affected.
But at least one could still hear the worry in their words. After leaving Ye Ying's store, they reopened the store.
It looks like he is afraid that the store will be gone if he is away for a day.
Looking back at the scene in the store, Ye Ying sighed. She probably wouldn't be able to run the store and make money for the next few days and would have to clean up this mess.
Ji Lianqi had already cleaned up all the broken glass in the store, and now he started to repair the shelf that Ye Ying had dismantled half of.
Ye Ying squatted down slowly beside Sun Xi like an old man and began to classify the goods scattered on the ground one by one.
Sun Xi inadvertently raised his head and accidentally saw a few red strawberries under her collar. His face suddenly turned slightly red, "Sister Ye Ying, you...you are red here!"
Ye Ying followed Sun Xi's gaze and looked down, then quickly pulled her collar and explained, "Oh, it was a little itchy just now, probably because I scratched it accidentally."
"Also, and here!" Sun Xi pointed to his neck again.
! !
Ye Ying jumped up and hurried to look in the mirror.
The strawberry marks on the neck can't be covered at all.
She couldn't help but glance at Ji Lianqi with resentment. This guy had chosen a great place.
Now everyone can see what happened last night.
Two hours later, the three of them had basically tidied up the store. Ye Ying looked at the remaining plastic sandals piled in the corner and sighed:
"Oh, what a pity for the sandals I left outside and didn't have time to collect! Hundreds of pairs were burned."
Ji Lianqi followed Ye Ying's gaze to the pile of dusty sandals, a trace of doubt appeared between his brows:
"Why are you still selling sandals? They have little to do with the stuff in your store."
"Ah." Ye Ying pulled the corner of her mouth, "This stuff is not for sale. These are all defective and defective products. The boss of the wholesale city couldn't handle them, so he gave them to me."
"Since the stall owner gave them away for free, I didn't think about making money. I just used them for promotion and giveaways to expand my customer base and attract new customers!"
"Free?" Ji Lianqi frowned slightly after hearing this.
He walked over, picked up a few pairs and looked at them.
"The shoes are a bit ugly, but I think they are in pretty good condition. Would it be a shame to give them away for free?"
From his point of view, the quality of these shoes seems to be good.
"Why would I feel bad about it? These shoes are defective. I think it would be a good idea to give them as gifts to attract more customers."
Ji Lianqi pursed his lips and put the sandals back in his hand.
After finishing the work in the store, Ye Ying went to find someone else. A craftsman will come back tomorrow to repaint the exterior walls and cover up the blackened areas.
However, it seems that the windows cannot be installed today.
The window installer came by halfway and said it would take about two days to finish the doors and windows.
That means that the store will not be able to open for business normally for at least a few days. Not only that, the store will also face the risk of being robbed!
But Ye Ying had already prepared herself mentally for this.
She was just a little worried that the paper shells pasted on the windows would not be able to prevent thieves and could be stolen at any time if no one was around.
So Ye Ying stared at the window and began to wonder what to do.
Finally, I had no choice but to ask the old master to find a few wooden boards and temporarily nail them together for two days.
After finishing all this, it was already late, so Ye Ying simply asked Sun Xi to go back first and come back to work after the store was able to operate normally.
Sun Xi was surprised to see Ye Ying handling things with ease after a day's work.
"Sister Ye Ying, you were locked in last night. How come you are not afraid at all after going through such a thing? If it were me, I would have been scared to death."
Ye Ying smiled and said, "There's no point being afraid. We have to deal with it."
It would be strange if she wasn't afraid, but she has calmed down today and the most important thing right now is to resolve the issue.
Sun Xi nodded anxiously: "Okay then. Sister Ye Ying, I'll come back in a few days. You should be careful too. I always feel that the yellow-haired guy is here to take revenge on us."
Ye Ying waved to Sun Xi and said, "It's okay. The police will investigate it thoroughly."
After Sun Xi returned, he saw that nothing happened, and Ye Ying and Ji Lianqi also prepared to go back.
I spent the whole day cleaning up the mess and didn't find any trace of the murderer.
At this time, Ji Lianqi had already ridden his bicycle to Ye Ying's side and said, "Get on board."
Ye Ying sat on the back seat with her arm around Ji Lianqi's waist, and put her face close to his back, "I'm sitting still."
"Um."
Ji Lianqi was very pleased with Ye Ying's rare "self-awareness" and a smile slowly appeared on his face.
But when he thought of the sudden fire, the smile on his face froze in an instant, and his eyes turned cold.
Ye Ying fell asleep sitting in the back, and when she was half asleep, the bicycle suddenly stopped.
The sudden braking caused her forehead to hit his back.
"We're here." Ji Lianqi's faint voice came from the front.
Ye Ying got out of the car slowly, walked behind him, and followed him into the courtyard.
It was lunchtime. After parking the car downstairs of the apartment building, Ye Ying suddenly suggested going to the cafeteria to eat. She found an empty seat and sat down.
"We won't pack anything today. Let's eat in the cafeteria."
"Why?" Ji Lianqi was puzzled.
He would rather take it back because there are too many people here and it would be noisy.
And there will be people who come to disturb them.
Just as I was thinking about it, He Peng came towards me with an ambiguous smile on his face.
"Oh, this is such a rare opportunity. This is the first time I see you two eating in the cafeteria."
Ji Lianqi looked at him without saying a word.
Ye Ying just smiled and said nothing.
He Peng placed the lunch box in front of them and sat down. "What's wrong? Are you two silent today? You can't speak anymore?"
"I'll go get some food first." Ji Lianqi got up and left. Not long after, he came back with three dishes.
When he came back, he saw He Peng still lingering around, so he couldn't help but ask, "Why are you still here? Sister-in-law Liu Juan must be waiting anxiously."
He Peng's face suddenly turned ugly.
"Oh, don't mention it. My mother is sick. Liu Juan just came back from her parents' home a few days ago and went back to take care of my mother."
He Peng's father was already paralyzed in bed, and now his mother was also sick, which made things even more difficult.
The parents are in such a state, but the son has no way to go back to take care of them.
Ye Ying suddenly understood why Ji Lianqi helped Liu Juan pay the ten yuan to herself.
