Chapter 178 The counselor's mess
In the living room, Concubine Chen listened to her brother Chen Qi's words. All the blood color on her face seemed to disappear in an instant, and she turned paler in an instant.
"Say it again." Her voice trembled slightly.
"What are you talking about? I told you it was that idiot who didn't look at the road and hit me. How can you blame me? I paid him over 800 yuan and he was still smiling! Oh, okay, sister, can't I be more careful when riding a motorcycle next time?"
"You scold me as soon as I get home. It's not necessary for such a small thing."
"Why are you now like my former teachers, always making a mountain out of a molehill?"
Chen Qi pushed his suitcase to the corner and sat down on the sofa.
But he soon noticed something strange about Concubine Chen.
Her hands would suddenly twitch uncontrollably.
His face looked extremely ugly, as if something had been pulled out of his body, and his eyes behind his gold-rimmed glasses began to look somewhat empty.
"Sister!" Chen Qi couldn't help but yelled, "Sister, don't scare me!"
At this moment, no matter what Chen Qi said to her, she remained silent.
Two minutes later, the door opened and Chen's mother, who had gone to the small supermarket to buy things, came back.
When she saw Concubine Chen's appearance, she was surprised and concerned at first, but soon turned into panic.
Chen Jieyu, who had been silent all this time, seemed to have found an outlet after seeing her.
"Why? Mom, why?" Her voice suddenly rose, and her voice was hoarse with uncontrollable crying.
Chen Qi was so frightened that he was stunned.
He rarely saw his sister like this, especially after she started working, she would never break down like this.
Chen Jieyu was from Sichuan Province. In fact, Sichuan Province is one of the places where the preference for boys over girls is not so serious. In many families, women have a higher status.
But the situation may be relatively more serious in some small places and small cities.
In fact, the more such an environment and the more Chen Jieyu lived in such a family, the more desperate she felt in her heart and the stronger her sense of gap became by comparing herself with other girls.
From childhood to adulthood, she has actually become accustomed to having such a father and such grandparents.
She has become numb.
But what she couldn't accept was that after receiving the call from him asking for money, she repeatedly asked her mother to answer the phone and she wanted to listen to her mother.
But what I got in the end was deception.
Even to her, this was a betrayal!
She regarded her as the closest person in the world.
You always say that I am a piece of flesh that fell from your body.
But why, why?
Why does he beat and scold you when he is drunk, but in the end you still help him to deceive me?
Why do many people hate Lu Xun when they are in school, but later admire him when they grow up?
Just the sentence "There must be something hateful about a pitiful person" is actually a profound insight into the world!
"Nannan, come to the room, let's talk inside." Chen's mother tried to pull her, calling her nickname, but she pushed her away.
"How much money did he give you to go out and play?" Concubine Chen glanced at Chen Qi.
"One thousand and five." He was still confused.
Chen Jieyu bit her lips and almost made them bleed.
"Is it the money you owe from playing cards?" she asked the woman.
"No, my dear. Listen to what mom says. It's really not like that."
The woman began to talk ramblingly, saying that the man really put his heart into the business this time, but he was cheated by his friends, and ended up losing money, and still had a hole that he couldn't fill.
Concubine Chen had nothing to say.
"So how much is the difference?" She looked at the woman.
The woman didn't speak.
"Speak! Speak!" There was even a hint of pleading in Concubine Chen's tone.
"More than 30,000." The woman said in a very soft voice.
The shortfall was more than 30,000 yuan, but they told me on the phone it was 60,000 yuan.
Do you know I won’t give you all I want?
Or is it because of something else?
For some reason, Concubine Chen was not surprised by this.
He always sees some shrewdness in himself that goes beyond his own abilities.
You know, this man didn't even "collaborate" with Chen Qi in his testimony.
He didn't care whether he would know the truth or have any ideas.
It has always been like this since he was a child, and he doesn't care at all.
Because you don't care, you say those words and do those things.
It might even be that for him, after much difficulty raising this money-losing kid like himself, the fact that he had to lie to himself and even make up an excuse to ask for some money already made him extremely angry!
He may even have lost his temper with his wife over this matter and said some unpleasant words to her.
"Nannan, let's go to the room and talk." The woman just kept saying this over and over again.
Concubine Chen shook her head and slowly stood up.
"I'm going back." She began to pack her simple luggage and put it in the suitcase.
The woman looked at her and seemed to want to say something but stopped herself several times.
Chen Jieyu never thought of waiting for the man to come back from playing cards and then confront him.
There is no way to get the money back. In the end, all you will do is get slapped a few times and then watch him stand there and roar.
This is your fate, you have to accept it!
Even if you want to struggle, you should jump out and struggle instead of trying to struggle in this house.
This is why she must stay in Hangzhou.
For her, all the pain this incident brought her was just beginning.
Because no matter what, she had to pay back the money she owed Cheng Zhu!
That is to say, after knowing the cruel truth, she still had to live a miserable and difficult life for several months.
Every time she calculated carefully for money, what she bore psychologically and spiritually was not only the pain brought by poverty.
Even when she got her monthly salary, every time she gave Cheng Zhuzhuan the 4,000 yuan, the whole incident would hurt her all over again at that moment, like a knife.
Chen Jieyu had seen news before about a man who lent money to his girlfriend to buy a mobile phone, and then found out that he was cheated on.
After the breakup, he had to slowly pay back the money he spent on the phone.
How ridiculous!
All the pain brought about by this fifty thousand dollars has just begun today.
But for her, it seems to have become the norm in her life.
A few minutes later, Chen Jieyu pushed her suitcase and left her so-called hometown.
She didn't make any preparations and didn't buy a ticket back to Hangzhou.
She took a taxi to the train station and numbly bought the nearest bus.
She didn't care how long she had to wait at the train station.
Concubine Chen just wanted to leave here.
When she came back this time, more than half of her collapse actually came from her mother.
To her, this woman is the last warmth from the elders in the family.
The emotion was complicated because she knew her mother was not doing well either.
But.
But!
When everything came together, she was left with only one feeling.
“I don’t seem to have a home anymore?”
The woman who wore gold-rimmed glasses and always dressed herself up very elegantly looked outside the glass.
It started to rain lightly outside.
She was clearly sitting inside, but somehow she looked like a cat or dog drenched in the rain.
On the other side, Hangzhou.
Cheng Zhu sat at the table and opened his laptop.
Today, [Persistent Visits] is no longer just a short-term rush to the top spot, but a fierce battle with the top store in the category.
Sometimes [Insist on Visiting] is on top, and sometimes [Midnight Phantom] is on top.
Speaking of which, this store, which has been dominating the QQ underwear category for a whole year and a half, has increased its operating costs a lot in the past two months, and has also been holding various activities in the store.
But even so, it is unable to resist the aggressive [insistence on visiting].
In fact, from the current perspective, the outcome has already been decided.
This store called Midnight Phantom is just making its last ditch effort.
As for the [Manmiao Flagship Store] which was once ranked second but now has been pushed to third place, it has completely gone to waste.
Fight? What can we fight for now?
Previously, I spent a lot of money to grab [keywords] on [through train], and gave bad reviews to his store, but it was all useless!
I also wanted to suppress him so that he wouldn't become my strong rival in the future.
Now, I am no longer worthy of being his opponent. Isn’t that interesting?
To be honest, there are many internet-famous stores in the clothing circle, but very few of them can remain popular for a long time.
Their original mentality was: watch him build a tall building, watch him entertain guests, and watch his building collapse.
The glory won’t last long!
But what is this [insist on visiting] doing?
I watched him build a tall building, I watched him add another floor, and I watched him continue to build higher!
Damn, this opponent is a bit too much!
It is obviously just a new store, but in just a few months, it has become a trend vane in the industry.
Everyone is now following behind him to drink soup.
It's like they're coming to the industry to launch a dimensionality reduction attack!
This store has become a textbook in the industry with its repeated innovations and god-level marketing.
Without mentioning anything else, let’s just take the examples of the welfare-loving girls on the Internet.
The relationship between us and these roast chickens is purely that of a merchant and a buyer.
They are different. They have already started to attract each other, and they are inexplicably like close partners.
If this kind of relationship continues to be stable, they will place orders immediately when the store releases new products, and each of them will become a human billboard of "persistent visit".
If you go and take a look at the [Buyer Show] in his store, it’s really amazing!
It’s so beautiful, the buyer’s show in the store is really amazing!
They are all female Bodhisattvas!
No matter how hard we try and spend money to operate the buyer show area, we can't achieve the same results as his store.
Cheng Zhu's [Persistent Visits] is indeed the store with the most interesting [Buyer Show] among all the stores currently.
If you go in once, you might not be able to come out for a while.
What’s interesting is that didn’t [Persist in Visiting] previously become popular thanks to [Nofap Bar]?
Nowadays, its [Buyer Show] has become one of the ten forbidden areas listed in the [No-Porn Bar]!
Seriously, will Cheng Zhu be satisfied with this?
Not really.
“I don’t want to be number one in the category.”
"I want to be number one in the fault zone!"
This is his goal.
To be honest, he never considered other stores as competitors.
After browsing the background data, Cheng Zhu started to do another thing.
“The National Day holiday is almost over.”
"It's time to start looking for someone to take over for [Yuzu Lai Wan]."
