Even if you can bravely hold on, you will cry with heartache when you see the store you worked hard to build and the goods you worked hard to buy suffering such destruction.
But Liu Ruonan didn't.
It seems that the word "fragile" will never appear in Liu Ruonan's world.
After tidying up, Fulu left.
Zhuang Sheng took a quick look and saw that the other shop had a large area. If he added a loft, there would be no problem at all.
After this incident, Zhuang Sheng was very worried about Liu Ruonan. If he had time to come back, he actually had no place to stay. After all, Liu Ruonan and Gao Shanshan lived in the same room, and they couldn't always sleep in separate rooms.
Therefore, Zhuang Sheng decided to build an attic in the shop to be used as a residence for him and Liu Ruonan.
Zhuang was afraid that the gang would return tonight, so he decided to stay. For the whole night, he could only squeeze together with Chen Lei.
Lying on the bed, Liu Ruonan looked at Gao Shanshan and asked with a smile, "Are you scared?"
"To be honest, I was really scared at first! But later, I wasn't afraid anymore." Gao Shanshan also smiled at Liu Ruonan. In her heart, Liu Ruonan was an object of admiration, and she had so many unexpected things.
"I'm sorry, Shanshan, for letting you see this," Liu Ruonan said apologetically. After all, Shanshan was still young. She had witnessed such a dark thing, and she wondered if it would have an impact on her.
"It's not your fault, why should you apologize? That deputy manager is a bad guy, I believe he will be punished." Gao Shanshan said righteously.
Liu Ruonan tucked Gao Shanshan's messy hair behind her ears and said gently, "Yes, bad people will be punished."
The whole night was quite quiet. The gang of thugs didn't come back.
Zhuang Sheng had other matters to attend to in the army, so he left first. With Chen Lei around, he felt a little more at ease. He only hoped to finish his military duties as soon as possible and then return to the shop, just in case.
On the second day, Liu Ruonan quickly recovered and had a strong desire to fight.
Although such an unfortunate thing happened on the first day of opening, it did not stop Liu Ruonan from moving forward.
The music on the public speaker is still playing, and today it is a collection of the most popular music.
The first song is a song called "Late".
You came to me with a smile and brought my troubles;
In my heart, there is already a girl, oh, she arrived before you;
She is gentle and lovely, she is beautiful and generous;
Until one day, when you have him in your heart, you will understand how I feel.
Love must be true, not shared. Oh, sorry for you!
The relaxed and joyful voices still filled the entire street, as if what happened last night had never happened.
Nothing could disturb Liu Ruonan's mood. Liu Ruonan could not see any signs of it, but instead looked happy.
Gao Shanshan and Chen Lei looked at each other. Liu Ruonan's current performance made them admire her and feel relieved.
"Welcome." Gao Shanshan's voice sounded, and a young couple walked in. The man was handsome and the woman was beautiful. They were really a match made in heaven and very well matched.
When Liu Ruonan heard the voice, she hurried forward to greet him. This was their first customer of the day.
"Hello, how can I help you?" Liu Ruonan asked with a polite smile.
"I heard from a friend that there's a music store here, so I came over to check it out. The music you play sounds pretty good. Do you have this tape?"
The woman who spoke had a pleasant voice and a gentle smile. Her dress exuded elegance, yet she was not arrogant and was very approachable.
Liu Ruonan smiled and said, "Yes, it's over here."
The young woman was about to follow Liu Ruonan's steps, but when she turned around, she saw her husband standing there without moving. He just stood there in a daze, with a very serious expression, as if he was thinking about something!
The woman looked at the man puzzledly and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"It's okay." The man shook his head, but when Liu Ruonan turned around and smiled, his doubts intensified. He said to Liu Ruonan, "Comrade, I think I've seen you somewhere before."
"In my dream, I saw you in my dream. Haha, that's how Teresa Teng wrote her lyrics." Liu Ruonan said jokingly. She really is promoting the things in her store all the time!
But the man's expression became more serious, and the woman looked at him with even more confusion.
"Comrade, may I ask your last name?" The man seemed to have thought of something and was gradually trying to confirm his guess.
Liu Ruonan frowned slightly, but finally responded politely: "No need to mention your surname Liu."
"Liu Ruonan!" The man seemed to finally remember, clapping his hands excitedly and shouting out loud, which suddenly scared the woman next to him.
Now it was Liu Ruonan's turn to be puzzled. She looked at the man and asked, "Yes, how did you know?"
"I told you I've seen you before!" The man seemed very excited. "Lelin Village. I followed the mayor and the old chief when they went to your house."
Liu Ruonan quickly recalled in her mind, trying to find any memory about this person, but she had no impression at all.
"I'm sorry! I... I don't remember..."
"Yes, I was among the reporters at the time, so it's normal that you didn't notice me." The man said, then walked up to Liu Ruonan, extended his right hand, and said politely: "Hello. My name is Li Zhao, and I'm the mayor's secretary."
Liu Ruonan suddenly realized what was going on, and she quickly shook hands politely, smiling and saying, "Hello."
"This is my wife, Liu Qianqian."
Liu Ruonan politely extended her hand to shake the woman's hand again: "Hello, we are still from the same family."
Although Liu Ruonan was born in the countryside and her dress is not as good as the secretary's wife in front of her, her temperament is not inferior at all and she is very generous and decent.
Li Zhao had also seen Liu Ruonan before and had some respect for her. After all, she was so young and yet she had achieved such success.
Liu Qianqian reached out and shook Liu Ruonan's hand, smiling and responding, "Hello. Your name is truly well-known."
"Thank you for the compliment."
After reminiscing about the past, Liu Xixi seemed to remember the purpose of coming here today, so she asked Liu Ruonan to take her to pick out some tapes.
Finally, Liu Xixi selected a few dishes she liked, but when she wanted to pay, Liu Ruonan refused to accept any of them.
"How can I not accept the reward without doing anything? Since we are doing business, we must accept the money." Li Zhao used an almost commanding tone.
Liu Ruonan smiled slightly and took out a one-yuan bill from the stack of money, and replied with a smile: "That's enough."
"How can this be possible?" Li Zhao still insisted.
"You are my first customer today, so it's a discount on top of a discount."
In the end, Li Zhao had no choice but to give up. After expressing his gratitude, he left.
