Looking at the gift-giving effects in the live stream and then at the ID, Zhao Qingyun still had some questions. He made a phone call, "Ms. Yingqiu, could you please stop sending gifts randomly?"
Ms. Yingqiu had just placed an order for twenty boxes of plums and said into the phone, "I'd love to."
Xu Lai was surprised that Du Ying Qiuyue sent two more airplanes as gifts, and she quickly asked, "How do I turn off this gift-giving?"
Fans in the live chat were teaching her how to turn off the gift-giving feature. Xu Lai fiddled with the screen for a bit before finally managing to do so.
Then he explained, "Please don't send gifts. I appreciate the sentiment, but the gift platform takes half of it, so let's not waste our money."
Fans are all commenting: 【Haha, the streamer is so funny.】
Xu Lai stopped broadcasting after a short while. She didn't plan to broadcast only once; there were too many plums, and she couldn't possibly sell them all at once.
However, through this live stream, she felt that her fans were quite lovely, and chatting with them was very interesting, allowing her to make many new friends online.
This time, she hired villagers again to pack and load the truck, paying them 80 yuan a day. When she went to check the warehouse, the older women all came to thank her: "Thanks to you for hiring us, otherwise we really wouldn't be able to find any work at all."
"How can you say that? I should thank everyone for helping me so that customers can receive their packages on time."
Xu Lai and these workers had a mutually supportive relationship. She paid them, they worked for money, and her things could be packed up and sent away earlier.
Many women in the village are in their fifties or sixties. They stay at home to help take care of their grandchildren while their sons and daughters-in-law work outside. Since they need help with the work, these women have an extra source of income.
The plums sold out in two or three days, and she also did live streaming for two or three days.
Two days before Xu Yin's wedding, she invited Xu Lai to the county.
"Xiao Lai, try on the bridesmaid dresses and see which one you like. All my friends have tried them on, and you're the only one missing."
Xu Lai's forehead twitched. Those friends? How many bridesmaids did Xu Yin actually invite?
She tried on each one and finally chose the light gray one, a low-key color that wouldn't steal the spotlight.
When Xu Yin saw that Xu Lai had made her choice, she told the shop assistant that she wanted to try on her wedding dress again. In fact, she had already decided on it a month before her wedding and had already tried it on.
But since Xu Lai was here today, she wanted to show Xu Lai how exquisite her wedding dress was.
She switched to another app, and Xu Lai was sitting there replying to messages. She made an "Eh" sound, trying to get Xu Lai's attention.
She just glanced at it quickly, said, "It looks good," and that was it.
Xu Yin was really angry. She walked over to Xu Lai and said, "Are you just going to brush me off like this? Xu Lai, I'm still your sister."
Xu Lai held the screen up to her so she could glance at it before turning it away, saying, "I'm busy. There's still a lot of after-sales work to do after the plums are sold out."
Xu Yin felt a lump in her throat, unable to utter a word or two. She felt that Xu Lai was just mocking her for having too much free time lately.
Damn it, Xu Lai swore she hadn't thought that way. If she didn't handle the after-sales service in time, and someone gave her a bad review, then all her work would have been for nothing.
After trying on her wedding dress, Xu Lai originally planned to go home to live. She had a house in the county, so her grandparents came over with her ahead of time.
But Xu Yin wouldn't let her leave, saying, "My husband and I are having a party tonight, and all his friends are coming. You should come too."
Xu Lai didn't really want to go. They were friends, what would she, an outsider, do there?
Xu Yin, under the guise of introducing her to a potential partner, actually managed to drag the person over.
They booked a room at the KTV, and when Xu Lai arrived, there were already seven or eight people inside.
Seeing someone come in, she glanced at their face and said, "Sister Yin, where did this pretty young lady come from?"
Xu Yin smiled and said, "This is my cousin."
Xu Yin walked over to her husband's side. Xu Lai looked him over. This was the first time she had seen Xu Yin's fiancé. He looked quite young and his appearance was decent.
She didn't want to interact with people, so she grabbed a cocktail and sat in a corner to drink it.
After a while, there was a commotion at the door. She saw Xu Yin's fiancé get up and go to greet the people at the door.
"Mr. Zhao, what brings you here?" Cao Bin greeted him.
Zhao Qingyun met a client at a KTV. It was quite an eye-opener for him, as it was the first time he had ever met someone discussing business at a KTV. Sure enough, the other party was a rich second-generation heir who was quite the player.
He wanted to leave work quickly and not waste any more time. After signing the contract, he planned to leave. However, when he passed by this private room, a man who had just come out called him General Manager Zhao.
Zhao Qingyun glanced at the man, not recognizing him. He nodded slightly and was about to leave when he heard the man shout, "President Zhao is here."
And so Xu Lai witnessed the scene before him. He glanced around and asked, "Manager Cao, what's going on here?"
Manager Cao offered a cigarette and said, "I'm getting married soon, so I'm inviting my friends over for a get-together."
Zhao Qingyun pushed the cigarette back. He had been smoking less lately, and he didn't smoke cigarettes of this quality at all.
"Mr. Zhao, would you like to come in and have a seat?" Cao Bin invited.
Zhao Qingyun quickly glanced at the layout inside and then said, "No need, you guys have fun."
Xu Lai recognized him from his very first words: Zhao Qingyun, President Zhao?
No way! Nobody told her that Zhao Qingyun was actually the boss? Damn it! She always thought he was just an employee. Well, now she can't help but feel the same way.
Xu Yin sat down next to her with an air of nonchalance. "Well, you saw it just now, right? My husband's boss is young, promising, and handsome."
Xu Lai sighed and said, "Xu Yin, you really could develop a career in this field. I think you'd be very suited for it."
Xu Yin asked curiously, "What? What?"
Xu Lai slowly uttered two words: "Matchmaker."
"Xu Lai!" Xu Yin got angry and stood up and left.
She stayed for a while, declined some invitations, then picked up her bag and prepared to go home.
When Zhao Qingyun returned home, she found that there was no light on in the neighboring house and the gate was tightly closed.
He asked the old lady, "Where are the people next door?"
Grandma Jiang fanned herself with a palm leaf fan. "I heard that Xiuying said she went to attend her eldest granddaughter's wedding and won't be back for another two days."
Zhao Qingyun caught the key phrase, "Then she also has the surname Xu, right?"
Grandma Jiang gave him a "no-nonsense" look. Zhao Qingyun took out his phone, opened Cao Bin's WeChat Moments, and saw the name on the invitation: Xu Yin. Could it really be such a coincidence?
He asked, "Manager Cao, does your fiancée have a cousin? What's her name?"
Cao Bin didn't know either. He quickly showed his phone to his wife, Xu Yin, who looked at it and said, "Xu Lai, what's wrong? Who asked this? Don't tell me you've got your eye on her."
After sending the message, Cao Bin said, "He's the big boss."
Xu Yin nearly choked on her drink. "What!"
Zhao Qingyun looked at the message that came in, smiled, and typed: "Manager Cao, I've decided to change my mind and attend your wedding. Is that still possible?"
Cao Bin, a shrewd and astute person, replied: "Of course, Mr. Zhao, it's my honor to have you here."
