"This garment is made of pure wool, so of course it's worth the price. It's the only place in the whole city that sells it."
The saleswoman said while folding the clothes.
Ge Qiuqin touched her head and thought, "This is really nice. I've never looked so wealthy in the mirror before. If I got a perm and wore this dress, I would really look like a rich lady."
"Ge Qiuqin? What are you doing here?"
Chen Yan and Jiang Pei walked over together, intending to look at the clothes, when they saw a woman trying on clothes who looked somewhat familiar.
As Chen Yan approached, she realized it was that old woman. She had actually come to the department store to buy things; it was truly a rare sight indeed.
"Hey, Chen Yan, Jiang Pei. I came here to buy a dress, and you two are out shopping too."
Ge Qiuqin still remembered what Xia Enruo had told her: Chen Yan was no joke, and she shouldn't be too polite when talking to her.
"Ge Qiuqin, the sun must have risen in the west today! It's really rare to see you shopping at the department store."
Sure enough, she couldn't say anything nice. Now that I think about how she berated me in front of the second-in-command girl, Xia Enruo was right; she was utterly wicked.
"What? So, according to you, I'm only fit to buy things from black market stalls?"
"I never said that, you said it yourself. But then again, everyone should have some self-awareness."
Before heading out, you should at least look in the mirror to see where you should and shouldn't go.
Jiang Pei laughed after hearing her best friend's words, and then said:
“I said, sister-in-law, it’s a waste for you to wear this dress. You do washing and cleaning at home every day, and sometimes you even have to help cook at the army canteen.”
"These clothes are a hindrance; not only can you not do any work, but if you get splattered with oil or soup, there's nowhere to wash it off."
Upon hearing Jiang Pei's words, Chen Yan covered her mouth and laughed non-stop, thinking to herself that this bitch was quite eloquent, no wonder she was the golden voice of the art troupe.
Seeing the two of them praising and criticizing her in turn, Ge Qiuqin thought to herself, "The old saying is so true: birds of a feather flock together."
"Chen Yan, you're absolutely right. People should always have some self-awareness and not think they're something special just because they have a job."
And some people shouldn't always dream of marrying up. He's already married, his wife is beautiful and capable. Bringing lots of fruit to visit him is just asking for trouble.
When Chen Yan heard Ge Qiuqin say that, her eyes widened in anger, and her face contorted in fury.
This old woman has eaten mad cat meat. She used to be too timid to even fart, but today she's become quite eloquent and has learned to talk.
When Jiang Pei heard that last sentence, it was clearly a sarcastic remark about her previous trip to the compound to find Gu Shaoxuan, which ended up with her not even being able to get into his house. This Ge Qiuqin really knew how to bring up the most sensitive topics.
"Ge Qiuqin, I didn't expect you to become so eloquent after just a few months. But what's the use of talking so much? If you want to buy clothes here, you should find a job and work for a year first."
But thinking about it, it makes sense. If you can't afford to buy them, trying them on here will give you a taste of what it's like. You'll probably wake up laughing on New Year's Eve.
After insulting Jiang Pei, Chen Yan pulled her away.
Ge Qiuqin shook her head as she watched the two figures leave. She thought to herself, "I'm really fed up. Criticizing others is like they'll get rich."
She stared at herself in the mirror and thought about how the two people she had just seen were dressed quite appropriately. Compared to them, she realized that her previous clothes made her look like an old woman.
“Buy! Isn’t the point of making money to spend it? I’ll just earn more after I’ve spent it all. I don’t believe I can’t afford to eat or dress well, let my family suffer, and let others look down on me.”
"Comrade, I'll buy this wool coat!"
...
Xia Enruo led Wang Meihua and Gu Shaoying into Jufuzhuang, where the cashier recognized her at a glance.
I made three dishes at the restaurant last time, and they became very famous. Everyone at the restaurant still remembers them vividly.
"Sister, you're here! It's been so long. Mr. Qin has been talking about you, saying he wants to see you. Are you here for dinner or do you have something to discuss with Mr. Qin?"
"I brought my mom and my younger sister here to eat some local specialties. Could you help us find a quiet spot?"
"Okay, no problem. We have a small private room that's empty, it's very quiet, and you won't hear a thing in the main hall."
The waiter enthusiastically led the way, and the three of them finally entered the private room after several twists and turns.
This was Xia Enruo's first time in a private room. Last time, when she cooked, she stayed in the kitchen and the main hall, and left after a short while with the money.
When I came here today, I saw that Qin Gang's business was indeed quite large. No wonder he could sit in the top position at the restaurant on Central Street.
Seeing her sister-in-law so respected here, Gu Shaoying felt a surge of admiration. "My sister-in-law is really something," she thought, "she knows people everywhere she goes."
"Enruo, this shop is quite unique, with a traditional Northwest style. It seems that Yongning has developed quite well in recent years, no worse than the provincial capital."
"Mom, although Yongning is developing rapidly and more and more buildings are being built, it is still far behind the provincial capital. If you want to do business, there are more opportunities in the provincial capital."
"Mom, little sister, take a look at the menu. Order whatever you like."
Xia Enru handed over the menu.
"Sister-in-law, then I won't be polite."
"Shaoying, you should order just the right amount of food. There are only three of us. Although we are not short of money, if you order too much food that we can't finish, it will be a waste of food."
Wang Meihua was afraid that her daughter would lose her sense of propriety, so she made a point of mentioning it.
When Qin Gang heard from his employees that Xia Enruo had brought people to the restaurant for a meal, he hurriedly came out of his office.
It had been some time since the two last met. Through their collaboration, the banquet attracted more individual customers than before, and Jufuzhuang's revenue increased by a full 60%. Enruo's business acumen was truly remarkable.
