Chapter 78
Meng Jinyu wanted to send Qu Minli home, but the police said they had to take the child back to the station and cooperate in making a statement.
Gu Zhimin said: "I will arrange for a female comrade to take her statement, and during the questioning process, I will also try my best to consider the child's feelings."
Meng Jinyu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, she always knew that Gu Zhimin was thoughtful and prudent in his work, and as long as he was around, her tense nerves would always relax a little.
Even with such a big thing happening, Qu Minli is still in shock. Even if they arrived in time, the damage caused to the child when Peng Wang waved the knife in front of her would probably take the child a long time to heal.
We can only leave it to time.
"Auntie, can you go with me?" Qu Minli asked timidly, and looked at Youyou cautiously.
She was worried that Youyou would not agree because Youyou said that they had guests coming to their house today.
Youyou looked at Qu Minli's timid expression, felt that she was quite pitiful, and nodded.
Qu Minli breathed a sigh of relief, followed Meng Jinyu and went to the police station together.
Peng Wang, who was unconscious, was sent to the hospital.
"Even if I cut this kind of person with a knife a few more times, it would not be enough to relieve my hatred. What does a ten-year-old child know? He actually used his status as a teacher to attack children!" said a public security comrade, and kicked Peng Wang angrily.
Meng Jinyu and Youyou accompanied Qu Minli to the police station. After a while, Qu's mother hurried over.
When she learned the truth, she was so scared that her shoulders were shaking from crying.
"I'm sorry, Minli, it's all my fault. I almost hurt you." Qu's mother's tears fell, "How could there be such a teacher? I'm so stupid that I actually believed him! But why didn't the school investigate it in advance and let such a person teach!"
Just now, Qu's mother was busy at work. When she was about to get off work, two police comrades suddenly came to the unit.
When she heard what they said, her legs went weak and she hurried over.
On the way here, she blamed herself and complained about the school, her mind was in a mess as if it had exploded.
Meng Jinyu patted her shoulder and said, "The most important thing now is to comfort your daughter. The child was too scared at the time. You have to spend more time on her in the next few days."
Mother Qu nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I have to care about the child's feelings first... Even if that beast surnamed Peng didn't succeed, this kind of thing has already caused harm to the child."
Not long after, Qu's father also arrived.
The couple was indeed at a loss, but as a father and a mother, the most important thing is to give their child a support and a harbor when she is sad, rather than crying even more sadly than her.
A child is just a child. If she doesn't know how to release the pressure in her heart, it will be easy for her to develop problems.
"Minli, don't be afraid, our parents are here."
"Cry if you want to. Mom and Dad are here. We'll both take leave from work for the next few days and stay at home with you, okay?"
Qu Minli raised her face, nodded with red eyes, and snuggled in her mother's arms.
…
Meng Jinyu brought Youyou back home and immediately started preparing dinner.
Youyou was helping in the kitchen. She couldn't help swallowing her saliva when she smelled the delicious sweet and sour pork ribs.
"Mom, can I try a piece?" Youyou asked eagerly.
"No, guests will be coming soon. Have you forgotten?" Meng Jinyu said.
Youyou hung her head and said, "The little greedy bug is disobedient and keeps drilling around in my stomach."
Meng Jinyu was amused by the child. She picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs with chopsticks and stuffed it into Youyou's little mouth.
The sour and sweet taste burst out in Youyou's mouth. She squinted her eyes in satisfaction, and was reluctant to swallow it, with her cheeks bulging.
"It's so delicious!" Youyou said in amazement.
Meng Jinyu laughed.
This child is probably a flatterer. No matter if it's food or toys, as long as she has tried them, she will always praise them.
Shanshan has been preparing for the math competition at school every day recently.
He is the youngest child in the competition class, but although he is small, his brain capacity is very big. Many times, other students were at a loss for a question, but he could write out the answer easily.
Occasionally, when there was a question that stumped him, he would become even more excited and solve the problem step by step without rushing, like a little scholar.
Even the teachers say that there are not many smart children, and not many children who can calm down, and they haven't met a student who can combine the two for many years.
This child is a natural at studying.
At this time, Shanshan had already returned with her schoolbag.
He smelled the food and went into the kitchen: "Mom, I'm hungry."
"Then come and help me process the potatoes. When you're done, I'll reward you with a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs." Meng Jinyu said with a smile.
When Shanshan heard this, she immediately put down her schoolbag and started to help.
Hearing the words "Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs", Youyou's little ears moved and she slowly moved over.
Meng Jinyu didn't even raise her eyelids: "Youyou, go do your homework."
The corners of Youyou's mouth turned down and she went to do her homework with a sad face.
Over the years, Meng Jinyu has used different methods to raise her two children. Youyou needs to be coaxed and you need to find ways to make her sit still. Her little butt shouldn't be like an olive, running out as soon as it touches the stool.
When dealing with Shanshan, we have to encourage him to divert his attention. This child's mind is completely on studying. What if he becomes an idiot in life when he grows up?
Fortunately, in this life, under her deliberate guidance, Shanshan's temperament has become much more cheerful. Sometimes she even imitates Youyou's love of acting coquettish and cute, which makes her laugh.
Meng Jinyu's movements were quick and efficient, and with the help of the children, laughter could be heard from the kitchen from time to time. Before long, several dishes were ready, without any effort at all.
The family sat at the dining table waiting for the guests to arrive.
"It would be great if my sister was here too. Today's dishes are all her favorites." Youyou said, supporting her cheeks with both hands.
"My sister hasn't been back for a long time." Shanshan said.
"It's been a long, long time!" Youyou sighed softly.
Meng Jinyu laughed, "How can it be that long? Guoguo usually goes home every weekend. This weekend she had to go to a fashion show with her classmates, so she slept directly in the dormitory to avoid wasting time on the road going back and forth."
Youyou exclaimed "Ah" and counted on her fingers.
So my sister just came back one day late?
"I miss my sister and brother so much." Youyou said softly.
She recalled the scene when her family sat together for dinner in Jiangcheng in the past.
At that time, when their family of five ate together, they would always fight over the delicious dishes, and the chopsticks of the brothers and sisters would fight in the plates.
Youyou always loses to her older brothers and sisters.
However, after her brothers and sisters grabbed the food she liked, they couldn't bear to see the little girl pouting and would feed her a big mouthful.
"It would be great if my brother and sister could come home." Shanshan also lowered her eyes.
Meng Jinyu felt a sudden pain in her heart.
When children grow up, they always have to run away. Whether it is Jiang Cheng, Jiang Guo, or the future Youyou and Shanshan, they will all have their own lives.
A more splendid and broad life.
All she could do was watch them silently as they walked further and further away and flew higher and higher.
"Guoguo will go home after attending the fashion show." Meng Jinyu was silent for a moment, and then said, "But Jiang Cheng wrote in the letter that he couldn't take leave to come back during the Chinese New Year."
Looking at the disappointed eyes of Youyou and Shanshan, Meng Jinyu also sighed.
I don’t know how Jiang Cheng is doing in the army. When my child is away from home, I’m afraid that he will only report good news and not bad news.
"Knock knock knock--" The knock on the door interrupted the family's brief thoughts.
Meng Jinyu stood up suddenly: "It must be Yu Qing!"
When Meng Jinyu went to open the door, the two children followed her like little tails.
When in Jiangcheng, Aunt Yuqing always took care of Youyou and Shanshan, and they liked her very much.
As soon as the door opened, Meng Jinyu said in surprise: "Yuqing!"
Shen Yuqing outside the house had messy hair and red cheeks from the cold, but she was still in high spirits.
As stylish as ever.
She squatted down and gave the two children a big hug, then stood up and smiled at Meng Jinyu, "You said in your letter that Beijing was very cold, and I thought, how cold can it be? I didn't expect it to be so cold that it made people cry and snot all over the floor."
When Youyou heard this, she immediately trotted back to the house to get Shen Yuqing's coat.
Shanshan also hurried to pour hot tea, holding the teacup in her little hands and taking small cautious steps to warm her hands.
"Be careful, don't burn yourself." Shen Yuqing said hurriedly.
The journey from Jiangcheng to Beijing was not short, and after a bumpy ride, Shen Yuqing was cold and hungry.
At this moment, she was wrapped in a thick coat, holding a cup of hot tea, smelling the fragrance of food, and chatting with old friends. It was such a heartwarming feeling.
"Jinyu, what have you been busy with recently?" Chen Yuqing said, "In the latest letter, did you say you opened a clothing store?"
Meng Jinyu nodded: "The decoration is almost done. After you attend the fashion show, you must come and take a look and give me some advice."
"I really envy you for being able to do what you like." Shen Yuqing said, "Although the garment factory has been reforming, my design concept still conflicts with the factory director. I also want to work on my own, but Jiangcheng is always a little behind in all aspects. Just like when I came out of the train station just now, the more I walked towards your house, the more I felt that the female comrades in Jingshi City were really fashionable."
"Yuqing, have you ever considered coming to Beijing to develop your business?" Meng Jinyu invited enthusiastically, "If you come, we can manage the store together, open a few more chain stores, and even start a clothing company together, designing our own styles in the future!"
Shen Yuqing looked at Meng Jinyu's high-spirited look when she talked about her clothing business, and couldn't help but feel envious.
"I can't leave Jiangcheng." She said helplessly, "I'm getting married soon."
Meng Jinyu knew that Shen Yuqing and her boyfriend had a very good relationship, so she could only nod and not force it.
But she couldn't help but think of the interview report she had read in her previous life.
She remembered that in that interview report, the other party wanted to know about Shen Yuqing's family countless times, but Shen Yuqing did not respond to any questions about her family.
The reporter of that interview even wrote in a subjective tone that every family has its own problems, and even a strong woman cannot resolve such difficulties.
So, in the previous life, was it because Shen Yuqing wanted to protect her privacy that she didn't want to mention her family, or was it because something happened at home that made her so secretive about everything?
Meng Jinyu raised her head, looked at Shen Yuqing's slightly gloomy expression, and said softly: "You are my best friend. If you need any help, remember to tell me."
Youyou said softly, "Aunt Yuqing is also Youyou's best friend!"
Chen Yuqing laughed and pinched the tip of Youyou's nose: "We have too many best friends."
…
After Peng Wang was sent to the hospital, he was unable to accept the reality and tried several times to end his life.
"I am not a man anymore, not a man anymore... Just let me die."
"Can you sentence me to death? I don't want to live anymore."
In just a few days, he lost a lot of weight and his entire face became sunken, as if someone had cut it with a knife.
The public security comrades asked medical staff to keep a close eye on Peng Wang, and even used handcuffs and hemp ropes to tie up his hands and feet, making him unable to move.
If you want to die, it's not that easy.
How could such a person not be locked up for decades?
After investigation, the public security comrades linked the cause and effect of the whole incident.
He is not from Beijing, and he was reported for molesting children in his previous school. The parents of that school originally thought that after reporting the case, this person would definitely be expelled from the school, but who would have thought that he would be transferred to Beijing right after being "dismissed" by the school.
The public security comrades went to the school to find out what happened. When the principal learned the news, he was shocked and indignant. After checking Peng Wang’s previous records at the elementary school, he discovered that he was not dismissed but transferred.
How could he be transferred when the students' parents had reported it?
Pulling out the radish brings out the mud, and soon the public security comrades found out the person behind Peng Wang.
It turned out that his uncle was the deputy director of the Beijing Municipal Education Bureau.
After the other party learned that he was implicated, he immediately went to Gu Zhimin's house with generous gifts, begging him to show leniency and promising to give him more benefits.
Gu Zhimin sneered: "Let him go and let him harm other children?"
Gu Zhimin threw out Peng Wang's uncle and the generous gift he had sent.
Before long, not only Peng Wang's uncle, but also every person who covered up for Peng Wang lost their jobs.
The newly appointed deputy director of the Education Bureau is upright and incorruptible, and is committed to rectifying the entire educational atmosphere.
Children are the flowers of the motherland, and such black sheep should not exist in the field of teaching and educating.
…
On December 19, 1982, Meng Jinyu's first clothing store opened.
The crackling sound of firecrackers quickly attracted passers-by.
In front of everyone, Meng Jinyu lifted the red cloth, revealing the bright name of the store.
Carving jade.
A passerby said curiously: "I thought this was a jade shop."
Someone laughed and said, "I heard that the boss lady's name contains the word '玉'. She probably chose this name because she thought that jade cannot be made into anything useful without being polished. Whether it is her or customers like us who come to the store to buy clothes, we are like unpolished jade. Through careful carving, we can reach a new level."
"You are such an educated person! Now I understand everything now. This store name is so easy to remember!" The passerby found it interesting and went into the store.
On the first day of opening, Meng Jinyu was nervous, but she didn't show it on her face. She smiled and invited everyone to come into the store and take a look.
She had a promotion where if you bought two or more pieces of clothing, you would get a discount and also receive some decorations as small gifts.
Some lesbians were attracted by the small decorations, while some originally only wanted to buy a top, but when they heard about the discount, they couldn't help but look at more and wanted to buy a skirt or pants to get a discount.
Everyone was probably curious and saw that the store was packed with people, so they all wanted to come in to take a look. Meng Jinyu was greeting everyone and was very tired.
It would be great if Shen Yuqing was here.
It's a pity that she went to see a fashion show today.
"Madam, do you have a larger size of these pants?" the customer asked.
Meng Jinyu hurried over: "Yes, wait a moment, I'll get it for you."
The business of the "Zhuoyu" clothing store is surprisingly good.
Looking at this scene, Ruan Wenwen's eyes were so red that they were about to bleed.
She complained, "Have these people never seen the world? How good can the clothes in Meng Jinyu's shop be?"
Wu Deyao said, "It's her business if she does well in business. You have a small shop here, don't you? I'll open a shop opposite hers for you. When the shop is renovated, you can work hard and suppress her."
These days, Ruan Wenwen used all kinds of tricks and finally coaxed Wu Deyao into opening a clothing store for her.
The store has been chosen, and it is right opposite Meng Jinyu's store. When the time comes, she will definitely beat Meng Jinyu.
But even though she had a peace of mind, she was still unhappy when she saw that Meng Jinyu's store was doing so well.
"Don't go and make trouble with her, just focus on your own business." Wu Deyao said, "After a while, tell Jingqing that she's quitting and wants to go back home. She's not in good health and doesn't go out often, so she definitely won't notice you."
"I know. Even if she finds out, she can't say that you opened this store for me." Ruan Wenwen grumbled, then said softly, "You're so good to me. You knew about my past, but you didn't want to blame me."
Wu Deyao pinched her waist and warned her, "I remind you again, don't bother your twin sister. She is not an easy person to deal with. If she tells Jingqing about our affairs, I will be in big trouble."
Wu Deyao was somewhat afraid of Gao Jingqing. After all, the reason he could have all this was because Gao Jingqing had a good eye for choosing styles and she always made accurate choices.
And the money to set up the factory was provided by her family.
Ruan Wenwen agreed meekly on the surface, but in her heart she laughed at him for being a coward.
Meng Jinyu is not so omnipotent, how could she know what happened between her and Wu Deyao?
She is not afraid.
"You go back first. While Sister Gao is still taking a nap, I'll take a walk and buy some vegetables later." Ruan Wenwen said, looking towards Meng Jinyu's shop again.
It's really busy.
…
At this time, Jiang Guo had already arrived at Jingping Hotel with his dormitory friend Zhuang Ningning.
Zhuang's mother was the hotel supervisor. She took advantage of the fact that her leader was not paying attention and brought the two girls to the venue.
"The models brought by Edmund are all backstage. Do you want to go and take a look?" asked Zhuang's mother.
Jiang Guo's eyes lit up and she nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, yes!"
They both went backstage.
Originally thinking they would be kicked out, the two girls were very cautious and moved as quietly as possible. However, the models backstage were very busy and no one noticed them.
Six years ago, Jiang Guo first heard about the profession called "model" in this world. At this moment, looking at these tall blonde and blue-eyed models, her eyes couldn't help but reveal a glimmer of longing.
"Guoguo! Look!" Zhuang Ningning widened her eyes and said in disbelief.
Jiang Guo then followed Zhuang Ningning's gaze.
Several models backstage were changing clothes in a corner without any curtains.
They have fair skin, well-proportioned figures, and look confident, not feeling embarrassed at all.
Jiang Guo didn't know where to look. After a while, her cheeks turned red like a tomato.
Just as they were staring at the models backstage, a foreign man with a high nose bridge walked in.
Jiang Guo got anxious and quickly turned around and spread her arms to block his sight.
Edmund has high brow bones, and when he raises his eyebrows, his expression looks particularly exaggerated.
He said a bunch of words that Jiang Guo couldn't understand, but she wasn't afraid and shook her head like a rattle: "No! No! No!"
Zhuang Ningning was almost stunned, and she grabbed the ferocious Jiang Guo and wanted to take her away.
However, Jiang Guo had already started "chatting" with Edmond.
One of them spoke English and the other spoke Chinese. No one could understand each other, but they were chatting animatedly.
Edmund looked at Jiang Guo in a daze.
He has been in China for some time and decided to hold a fashion show here because he felt that there was a certain market in this place.
There are very few foreigners in China, and he is always praised to the sky. Some Chinese people often look embarrassed when talking to him because they cannot communicate smoothly.
But this girl was different. She was very confident and generous, with a bright gleam in her eyes and a hint of suspicion, as if to say, he was the one who came to China, why didn't he learn to speak Chinese?
"Little girl..." A well-dressed young lesbian came over, "I'm Zeng Shuang, the translator for Mr. Emond. He's the organizer of this fashion show, and I want to go backstage."
The young woman took out her simple work ID, which stated that she was a junior student at the School of Foreign Languages and that this time she was in charge of Edmond's translation work.
Jiang Guo suddenly realized what was going on and immediately stepped aside to make way for Edmund.
But Edmund did not leave and whispered something in Zeng Shuang's ear.
Zeng Shuang looked surprised, but soon returned to her standard smile and said, "Little girl, Mr. Edmond thinks that your figure is very suitable for participating in the fashion show. I wonder if you are interested in wearing the clothes he designed and walking on the stage?"
Jiang Guo was completely stunned.
Zeng Shuang added, "It doesn't need to be too professional. The main reason is that Mr. Edmond thinks the models he brought are too tall and blonde, and he is worried that the audience watching the show will not be able to adapt. So he made sizes suitable for Chinese girls in advance. He is a little worried about not finding a suitable Chinese female model these days."
"If you are interested, you can give it a try. Mr. Emond will settle your salary. Besides, it's a wonderful experience, isn't it?"
…
Shen Yuqing entered the Jingping Hotel and followed the signs to the fashion show venue.
She had read many fashion magazines brought back by her relatives from abroad, and had also heard about the elegance of models walking on the runway, but this was her first time to experience it in person.
She suppressed her excitement, found a seat and sat down, looking forward to the fashion show that was about to begin.
The fashion shows in the 1980s did not have elaborate stages or brilliant lights, but although the "T-stage" was simple, the models who were about to appear on stage were full of energy and high spirits.
When the music started, Shen Yuqing was quickly immersed in the performance.
The models walked onto the stage one by one to the rhythm.
The thickened and widened shoulder pads they wear make them look energetic and beautiful.
Every audience member present had never seen such a fashion show before. They all watched it intently and exclaimed in admiration.
"It's just a pity that they are all foreign models..."
"These clothes are nice-looking, but they are tall and have fair skin, so they won't look bad in anything they wear."
"It would be nice if we had models from China."
Just as everyone was whispering, a figure appeared on the stage.
A tall and slender Chinese girl, wearing a fashionable black evening dress, walked slowly towards the audience to the beat.
Her catwalk was not as professional as that of other models. Her back was straight, and even though her steps were awkward, her eyes were full of power, firmness, and sparkling.
This Chinese girl attracted the attention of everyone present. When the comrades from the Ministry of Textiles, Ministry of Foreign Trade and Ministry of Light Industry saw this scene, they all sat up straight, feeling a sense of pride.
The girl imitated the other models and walked to the end of the "T-stage". She stood still and turned around without hesitation. The fluttering hem of her long skirt seemed to bring a gust of wind, and she stepped on this wind and continued to move forward and return to the backstage.
There was thunderous applause from the audience.
Shen Yuqing was stunned.
This girl...
Isn't it ginger fruit?
…
After the fashion show, the audience and the leaders of the unit that co-organized the show with Edmond were talking about Jiang Guo’s performance.
Everyone gives her a thumbs up when they mention her. Despite her young age, she is not at all stage-frightened. She is such an outstanding girl!
Jiang Guo's performance had a great impact on Shen Yuqing. She hurried to the backstage to find out what was going on.
Meng Jinyu did not say that Jiang Guo was also one of the models of this show. Could it be that this was a temporary arrangement?
If this is true, then Jiang Guo is truly amazing.
More talented than she thought.
She walked quickly and soon saw Jiang Guo.
Shen Yuqing quickly stepped forward and was about to talk to Jiang Guo when she suddenly heard the foreigner who hosted the show praising her performance.
Zeng Shuang listened carefully to Edmond's words and said with a smile on her face, "Little girl, Mr. Edmond is praising you! Without any rehearsal, you were able to show your confidence and grace, which really impressed him! He also said that he used to think that Chinese girls were not expressive, timid, and didn't even dare to speak loudly. I never thought that you are a different Chinese girl!"
"It turns out that Chinese girls can also be models!" she added.
But who would have thought that after hearing these words, Jiang Guo did not show any flattered expression.
She just raised her eyebrows and said seriously: "Tell him that Chinese girls are not unexpressive, nor are they afraid to speak loudly. He thinks so because he has seen too few Chinese girls!"
Zeng Shuang looked embarrassed and didn't know whether she should translate it for Edmond.
The next second, Jiang Guo continued: "Of course Chinese girls can be models, and they can be top-notch and best models!"
Hearing these words, the corners of Shen Yuqing's mouth twitched.
This little girl is really fearless.
However, Jiang Guo did the right thing by using his own strength to make these foreigners put away their arrogance!
Edmund was not difficult to get along with. He insisted that Zeng Shuang continue to translate what Jiang Guo said for him. After listening to it, he laughed out loud.
Zeng Shuang breathed a sigh of relief and listened attentively to what he said.
"Mr. Edmond is very curious. The clothes you originally wore are the current popular trend. Do you have a deep understanding or interest in clothing?"
Jiang Guo heard this and said proudly, "My mother is in the clothing business. She has a clothing store that just opened today. She sells the most fashionable clothes in Beijing. Do you want to go and have a look?"
Zeng Shuang's forehead was full of black lines again, and he gritted his teeth and translated for Edmond.
Edmond was interested, and simply said, "OK!"
Jiang Guo understood what was said.
He is willing to go!
…
Qu Minli returned to school only after Peng Wang’s matter was completely settled.
She hesitated for the whole day and wanted to go to Youyou's classroom, but ultimately she couldn't muster up the courage.
Finally, it was time to go home from school.
Qu Minli simply waited at the school gate.
Finally, she met Youyou.
Just when Qu Minli wanted to say hello, she saw Youyou raised her chin, turned her head, and looked arrogant.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm willing to help you, but I don't want to be friends with you," said Youyou.
There was an unnatural look on Qu Minli's face, but she was no longer as arrogant as before.
At this time, she followed what her parents said and once again sincerely expressed her apologies and gratitude.
"I was wrong in the past. I shouldn't have bullied my classmates." She repeated it in a low voice.
Youyou didn't want to pay attention to her at first, but when she saw her following her and saying sorry, she had to stop.
"Then don't bully your classmates anymore and I will forgive you." Youyou said.
"No." Qu Minli lowered her eyes. "My classmates stopped talking to me. Should I take the initiative to cause trouble for them? Meng Youyou, I really envy you. No one paid attention to you at that time. Were you not affected at all? I can't do that. Can you teach me?"
Youyou tilted her head: "There's nothing I can do. There's only one Meng Youyou, and she's just that powerful."
After saying that, she carried her schoolbag and went back to her class.
Looking at her back, Qu Minli blinked blankly.
She is so cocky.
…
Ruan Wenwen took a lot of effort to coax Wu Deyao away.
He was too timid and afraid of things. He had to consider Gao Jingqing's feelings all the time. He didn't want something like last time to happen again. He always thought that if he offended Meng Jinyu, she would make him look bad.
But Ruan Wenwen was not afraid.
Anyway, Meng Jinyu has already exposed her, and Gao Jingqing didn't drive her away. In this case, what bargaining chips does Meng Jinyu have?
Meng Jinyu's clothing store had such good business on the first day of opening. What will happen if it continues like this?
From the Red Star Garment Factory to the Chunyu Garment Factory, from setting up stalls to opening a clothing store, her journey has been very smooth.
Ruan Wenwen decided to dampen her enthusiasm.
Meng Jinyu has hardly had any free time since the shop opened in the morning until now.
But the busier she was, the happier she felt.
The first day's business was very important, and it was a good start. She was confident in the clothes she imported, and believed that as long as the first round of business could retain customers, she could ensure a steady increase in turnover.
"You can take a look at this coat. It's made of good quality woolen material, double-faced fleece. It's very warm to wear and doesn't make you look bulky."
"Won't it make me look fat? I wrap myself up in three layers in winter, and I'm afraid I'll look fat." A plump female comrade said, "Usually I wear a cotton jacket, and I look like a ball."
The customers in the store all smiled kindly.
Meng Jinyu also smiled and said, "It definitely won't make you look fat. Why don't you try it? The dressing room is over there."
The plump lesbian took the coat to try it on, and when she came out, she was very satisfied.
She raised her arms and said in surprise, "This coat looks slim-fitting. I didn't expect it to not be tight on my arms at all. The New Year is coming soon, and I will wear this coat to visit relatives! Comrade, how much is it?"
"The price of this coat is a little higher, fifty-three yuan each," said Meng Jinyu.
Hearing the price, everyone present gasped.
It’s not that I can’t afford a coat that costs more than 50 yuan, but is it worth spending half a month’s salary to buy such a piece of clothing?
The female comrade hesitated and looked at herself in the mirror for a long time, but was reluctant to take it off.
"You, the boss lady, are so black-hearted." A gentle voice sounded.
Everyone turned their heads in wonder.
Meng Jinyu raised her eyes, saw Ruan Wenwen, and rolled her eyes.
The troublemaker is here.
"Comrade, why do you say that?" The chubby female comrade asked curiously, touching her coat.
Ruan Wenwen smiled and walked up to her: "She is my sister, the twin sister. Seeing that she is so honest in doing business, I really can't bear it, so I can't help but tell you the truth. You don't know, this coat is not a good product at all. She lied to you about how good the quality is. In fact, this coat is the product she bought from the clothing factory. Oh, yes, it is a clothing factory in Jiangcheng. She brought the clothes that the factory couldn't sell here. The store is bright, and with the light on, can't she sell them at a high price?"
"If you don't believe me, why not ask her if she's from Jiangcheng? If any of you have acquaintances in Jiangcheng, you can ask around. This lady boss used to work in a garment factory in Jiangcheng. That factory was called the Red Star Garment Factory, and it's about to close down, so they're clearing out their inventory."
Ruan Wenwen spoke in a series of ways that frightened all the guests present.
"It's okay that the clothes are expensive, but the problem is that they are not good goods. The clothing stores on this street are all doing business with the neighbors and employees. No one's money comes from the wind. She is really too black-hearted!" Ruan Wenwen shook her head, "I'll tell the neighbors not to patronize this store in the future."
The guests believed everything they heard, and those who had originally reached out to take the clothes to try them on retracted their hands.
The chubby female comrade also hesitated, wondering whether she should take off her coat and return it to Meng Jinyu.
Seeing this scene, Meng Jinyu also became anxious.
Is there anyone who would say white is black and waste people's business?
She glared at Ruan Wenwen, wondering how to explain so that the guests would regain their trust in her.
