The four of them sat down in the restaurant.
Ruan Xi sat on the chair and looked at Ruan Jie, then at Chen Weidong, "Have you two contacted each other a long time ago?"
Ruan Jie pursed her lips and nodded, and after a moment she said, "Not long after you and Xu Zhuo reunited."
Xu Zhuo told Chen Weidong the address of Ruan Jie's school, and Chen Weidong wrote to her shamelessly. The two have been corresponding for two years. Chen Weidong was transferred to Beijing this summer and would go to the school to see Ruan Jie every Sunday.
Ruan Xi raised his hand and poked Ruan Jie on the forehead, "You didn't even let me know."
Ruan Jie smiled softly and said, "I haven't figured out how to say it yet."
I felt embarrassed and didn't mention it.
Ruan Xi actually didn't care, she had never intended to get involved in this matter. Ruan Jie is already an adult, and now she has completed four years of college and is about to enter society. She is the one who decides her own feelings and her life.
And Chen Weidong is indeed a good person. He has liked Ruan Jie for so many years and has never given up. He has known her for such a long time and knows her well. He has a good family background and is the son of a cadre. He has also been transferred to Beijing for work.
If nothing unexpected happens, he and Ruan Jie should be able to be together smoothly.
Both of them have stable jobs here, and they can live a happy and stable life after marriage.
After talking about Chen Weidong and Ruan Jie, Chen Weidong looked at Ruan Xi and asked, "Ruan Xi, what are your plans? You have graduated from university and are not young anymore. Isn't it time to think about your lifelong affairs?"
After saying that, he glanced at Xu Zhuo who was next to Ruan Xi.
As a result, Ruan Xi opened her eyes suddenly after hearing this and asked him: "I am only 22 years old, so I am not a child?"
Twenty-two is obviously still very young, okay?
At twenty-two, your face is still so tender that water can be squeezed out of it, okay?
What is the key point here? Chen Weidong hesitated a little, "Xiao...Xiao can also consider his lifelong affairs."
Ruan Xi was so busy every day that she was dizzy. There were so many things to consider that she couldn't spare any space in her mind to think about this matter. So she didn't have anything to say. She just said, "I'll talk about it later. There's no rush at the moment."
Chen Weidong glanced at Xu Zhuo again, and seeing that Xu Zhuo himself didn't say anything, he didn't continue talking.
The four of them ate together, chatted and reminisced, and time passed by.
Because the countryside was far away, Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie did not stay in the city for long after dinner. They pushed their bicycles outside the restaurant, chatted with Xu Zhuo and Chen Weidong for a few more words, and then rode away.
Watching Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie disappear into the night, Chen Weidong turned around to look at Xu Zhuo.
Instead of going back immediately, they found a park and sat for a while.
The two sat in the night and felt the cold wind. Chen Weidong asked Xu Zhuo, "What's wrong with you?"
Xu Zhuo didn't say anything. He continued, "You used to be the most arrogant among us brothers. How come you have become so cowardly now? Don't wait until all the brothers are married and you're still hanging around. If you want to be together, just tell me."
Xu Zhuo turned to look at him, "Can we be together just by saying it?"
Chen Weidong: "If you don't tell me, we definitely can't be together."
Xu Zhuo turned around and looked at the moon in the sky.
Chen Weidong continued, "She has graduated now and is at the age of marriage. If you don't take action now, how long will you wait? If someone else snatches her away by then, you will cry."
Xu Zhuo took a deep breath and said after a moment, "She doesn't have that kind of feeling towards me."
Chen Weidong said: "Brother, that kind of feeling is cultivated. Little Gui didn't have that kind of feeling towards me at the beginning, but I think it's good now. I will soon become the sun in her heart."
Xu Zhuo: “…”
Blind confidence is also good.
He said: "She is not Ruan Jie. If I were as shameless as you, I probably wouldn't even have any friends."
Chen Weidong looked at him, "So you plan to be friends with her for life? If it were you, you would graduate in half a year. You could use this half year to quickly decide on your lifelong event."
Xu Zhuo took another deep breath and said after a while, "Let's talk about it later."
It may be that friends have been together for too long and have become accustomed to this way of getting along, so they don’t know how to break it. There are some things they can’t even say, and they are worried that they will no longer be friends if they say them.
Of course he has other concerns, such as graduating next summer and returning to the army.
I don’t know how long this departure will take, and I can’t say for sure what will happen in the future.
Ruan Xi would definitely not give up everything and go with him. It was obvious that she wanted to stay here. After all, she brought all her family members here, and they would definitely settle down here in the future.
I have a lot of concerns and am indeed not as arrogant as I was when I was young.
What Chen Weidong said was right, he was just a coward.
After hearing what he said, Chen Weidong stopped interfering. After all, outsiders could not interfere in this matter.
We chatted about something else, and when I stood up, I just told him, "Wait for me when you go home."
In the blink of an eye, the New Year is coming again.
It’s time to go home for the New Year again.
After the Spring Festival of that year, Ruan Zhigao and Liu Xinghua still did not come to the city together, but remained in the countryside and lived with their neighbors on the land. They often heard Ruan Changgui and Sun Xiaohui complain about their injustice.
Ruan Changgui and Sun Xiaohui asked for the old tailor's house, but Ruan Zhigao refused to give it to them.
After returning from the Chinese New Year, Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie officially started working in their respective units.
Ruan Xi went to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, while Ruan Jie went to the Education Bureau.
Ruan Xi had no interest in regular work, but still reported to the unit on time, intending to experience life within the system. After all, it is the golden rice bowl that you have worked hard to earn, so you must take it.
After entering the unit to work, Ruan Xi really felt like his whole face was covered with gold. But she has never been obsessed with this kind of worldly decency. After getting a taste of it, she feels it is meaningless.
However, working in the Industrial and Commercial Bureau allowed her to understand the market more clearly, and she naturally realized how chaotic the domestic market order was during the period of transition from a planned economy to a market economy.
But chaotic order does not mean there are no rules at all. In such a special historical context, many legal systems are slowly being explored and established, including the Trademark Law that Ruan Xi is waiting for.
Although he doesn't like life within the system, Ruan Xi still takes his work very seriously. So her daily routine became working from Monday to Saturday, and going to the countryside to make clothes on Sundays.
It’s not fake that she’s busy, and it’s also not fake that she has no time to think about anything else.
On the last day of June, she received a call from Ruan Jie in the midst of her busy schedule.
Ruan Jie said to her, "Chen Weidong said Xu Zhuo is leaving tomorrow, let's go out for dinner tonight."
So the four of them gathered again in the evening to practice for Xu Zhuo.
As the days passed, from sixteen or seventeen to twenty-two or twenty-three, the four of them had all grown up, and the childishness on their faces had long since disappeared. Separation and reunion, reunion and separation, seems to be a repeating cycle.
Because it was more convenient to live in the company, Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie did not go home immediately after dinner.
The four of them went to the park together and enjoyed the lake breeze.
Chen Weidong took Ruan Jie, Ruan Xi and Xu Zhuo apart in the park to create some space for himself and Ruan Jie, and also for Xu Zhuo and Ruan Xi, hoping that Xu Zhuo and Ruan Xi could talk more.
Xu Zhuo and Ruan Xi did talk a lot, from the age of seventeen to twenty-three.
But the words Xu Zhuo wanted to say the most could not be said.
After sending Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie back to work, Chen Weidong asked him on the way back, "Did you say it?"
Xu Zhuo asked knowingly: "What?"
Chen Weidong said: "Let her wait for you."
Xu Zhuo was silent for a moment and said, "If she is still alone and calm when we meet next time, I will definitely marry her."
Then you tell her!
Chen Weidong slapped his thigh: "You really make me anxious to death!"
The emperor is not as anxious as the eunuchs.
All the separations and reunions between friends have little impact on Ruan Xi, after all, separation is a normal part of life.
Because she was busy with work and the garment factory, she had no energy or mind to think about anything else.
In comparison, Ruan Jie has it much more relaxed than her. Apart from going to work as scheduled every day, she spends the rest of her time dating with Chen Weidong, chatting about love, eating out or going to the park and watching movies.
Ruan Jie's personality is more suitable for a regular job, and she also likes this job very much.
She prefers a stable and down-to-earth life to a life full of risks and changes.
Ruan Jie and Chen Weidong got together shortly after returning from the Chinese New Year this year. They have been getting along very happily for the past six months and have plans for the future - they plan to get a marriage certificate once Ruan Jie has a stable job.
Ruan Xi, who takes "young and strong, so work hard" as her life creed, certainly did not plan her life to be so simple, stable and down-to-earth. She also did not plan to work in the Industrial and Commercial Bureau for a long time.
August 23, 1982 was a special and turning point day.
After get off work in the evening, Ruan Xi asked Ruan Jie to go out for dinner.
When she was half full, she told Ruan Jie, "Today, the 24th meeting of the Standing Committee of the Fifth National People's Congress was held. The Trademark Law was passed at the meeting. I submitted my resignation application to the company today."
After working for half a year and feeling tired of the golden rice bowl, she decided to pack up and go back to concentrate on making clothes.
Ruan Jie was putting a piece of meat into her mouth. When she heard Ruan Xi say this, she was suddenly stunned. Then he chewed the meat slowly, and after a long while he said, "Sister, are you really willing to do this?"
Ruan Xi smiled and said, "What's there to be reluctant about?"
Ruan Jie said: "Then your four years of college were wasted, right?"
She finally got into college and earned a job that ensured her a secure career for the rest of her life. I don't know how many people were envious of her, but she quit after only half a year. It’s a pity when you think about it, and you would definitely not want to let others do it.
Ruan Xi said: "I didn't go to university just to get a good job assigned to me by the country. The four years of university were my own life experience. The degree is mine, the things I learned are mine, and the friends I made are mine. How could it be that I went to university in vain?"
The six months of classes were not in vain, as they will be helpful to her future career.
Ruan Jie thought for a moment, pursed her lips and said, "If you have made up your mind, then I support you. Just go ahead and do what you want to do. Even if you don't do well in the future, it doesn't matter. I will definitely support you."
Ruan Xi burst out laughing at what she said, and then she said, "Thank you, Xiao Jie."
The news that Ruan Xi had proposed to resign spread throughout the company the next day, and everyone was so shocked that their eyes almost popped out. You have to know that this rice bowl is something that people try their best to grab, but some people throw it away before they even get it in their hands.
In such a big city, who has ever heard of a civil servant resigning from his job?
Even those at the grassroots level are reluctant to give up their jobs.
Colleagues were so shocked that after discussing it privately, they came to Ruan Xi in disbelief and asked her face to face: "I heard that you submitted your resignation application, right?"
Ruan Xi nodded and said, "Yes, I handed it in yesterday."
A colleague patted her on the shoulder and said, "Are you crazy? This is the Municipal Bureau. Many people have been working here for decades and still can't get in. You just quit like that. Do your family members know about this?"
Of course Ruan Xi knew how good her job was in the eyes of others, and naturally she also knew how crazy it would be in the eyes of others if she resigned. At this time of year, civil servants are seen as the most respectable and promising jobs by others.
She completely understood her colleague's reaction and just smiled and said, "I can make the decision myself."
Oh my God, such a big thing, she is simply making a joke of her own life. After working hard to get into university and studying for four years, she finally got assigned to this kind of position, but she just quit as if it was a joke.
Her colleagues advised her, "Ruan Xi, stop making a fuss. Go get your application back before it's approved. Otherwise, you'll regret it later. It's easy to quit, but it's hard to come back if you want to!"
Ruan Xi still smiled and said, "I've thought it through. I won't regret it."
The colleague looked at her and said, "Believe me! You are sure! You will regret it!"
Ruan Xi smiled and said, "If I regret it, my sister will support me."
Colleagues: “…”
Definitely crazy.
Ruan Xi remained unmoved. Several colleagues tried to persuade her a few more times but then stopped trying. Then they shook their heads and sighed in private, saying that Ruan Xi was so willful and would definitely pay the price for his willfulness today.
Ruan Xi's attitude was as firm as a rock and she did not waver at all. She waited until Saturday to get the approval of the appointment and removal authority, and the approval result was notified to her unit and herself in writing.
When she returned to the countryside after get off work in the evening, she took out her resignation approval document and showed it to Ruan Cuizhi and others.
When Ruan Cuizhi and the others saw the approval documents, they were also stunned for a long time and did not react for a long time.
After all, this is a golden rice bowl allocated by the state, which many people cannot even dream of.
Ruan Cuizhi blinked and asked, "Are you really quitting?"
When she asked the question, she felt her heart bleeding. What an enviable job it was!
Ruan Xi didn't look reluctant at all. She nodded and said to her, "I quit. I'll go over to hand over the work next week. After the handover, I'll come back and concentrate on making and selling clothes with you guys."
Since you have already resigned, there is no need to say such regretful things anymore.
Yue Haofeng said: "Then let's work hard together."
Ruan Xi nodded, "Let's do it on a larger scale."
After all, Ruan Xi had only worked in the unit for half a year, and the handover work had not been done for long. After the handover, she packed up her personal belongings in the unit dormitory and left the unit completely.
After resigning and returning home, I put all my attention into making clothes.
Now that she had sufficient funds, she felt that it was time to upgrade the specifications and expand the scale, so she and Yue Haofeng ran around the city for some time and rented two stores, one in Dashilan and one in Wangfujing.
After the store was rented, construction and renovation began immediately, and Ruan Changsheng and Qian Chuan were naturally appointed as store managers.
After returning from the city today after checking out the progress of the store's renovation, she gathered everyone in the garment workshop together for a meeting after dinner, including the five girls.
After all, we have been together for two or three years, and now we are considered familiar with each other. Ruan Cuizhi was particularly familiar with the skills of the five girls, and she had already selected two of the ones that Ruan Xi wanted before the meeting.
During the meeting, Ruan Xi took out a bunch of keys, looked at the two girls and said, "Xiaohui and Xiaolan, from today on, I will promote you two to team leaders. You take the keys, and I will assign you a separate yard. Then you can each recruit three people, train them and lead them yourself. From now on, you will work together as a team."
Promotion means promotion. Xiaohui and Xiaolan were very happy and said in unison: "We will make sure to complete the task!"
Ruan Xi was afraid that the other three girls would be unhappy, so she said to them, "You should also work hard, and you will have opportunities in the future. Next time we recruit people, you will be the team leaders, okay?"
The three girls also laughed and said in unison: "Okay!"
After promoting Xiaohui and Xiaolan to be team leaders, Ruan Xi naturally purchased the necessary equipment. In fact, the main ones were sewing machines, and the others were not so scarce. It was especially easy to recruit people.
Because the five girls made a lot of money here, everyone in the village more or less knew about it, so it was not difficult to recruit people now, and many girls had long wanted to join them.
It is not difficult for Ruan Xi to buy some sewing machines by herself now. The six months she worked in the Industrial and Commercial Bureau were not in vain. Now she has a good grasp of most of the speculation activities, whether in the open or in secret.
Because the market order is chaotic, many things are actually turned a blind eye to.
Both tasks went smoothly. Xiaohui and Xiaolan went to another empty house as if they were splitting up. They each recruited three girls and started training them. They soon saw results and began to make clothes easily.
After Ruan Changsheng and Qian Chuan moved their stall into the store, they were so proud.
Qian Chuan didn't want to see that bastard Sun Wei again, so she naturally chose the store in Wangfujing, hoping to avoid seeing him.
Ruan Changsheng took over the store in Dazhalan, and on the opening day, Sun Wei's eyes almost turned red with anxiety.
Sun Wei came into the store to take a look, and said with a sarcastic smile, "How fashionable! This is now open as a store."
Ruan Changsheng also smiled and said, "Are your eyes red again? If you have the ability, you can open one too."
Sun Wei crossed his arms and kept smiling, "It's only a matter of time."
Ruan Changsheng also kept smiling, "Then I'll wait."
Ruan Xi naturally knew about the matter between Ruan Changsheng and Sun Wei. Due to the chaotic market order, they could not do anything to Sun Wei, so Sun Wei had been very rampant in the past two years, and regarded shamelessness as a skill.
He was shameless in the first and second years. By the third year, he was even more unrestrained. He continued to make money by imitating Ruan Xi's clothes, and still shamelessly sewed the Rose Pavilion label on his clothes.
His appetite and courage were both pampered, and he and Ruan Changsheng were competing with each other, so he did things more and more unreliably, taking the word "shameless" to the extreme, to the point of being outrageous.
Ruan Changsheng watched him rent a shop across the street, watched him renovate the shop, and then watched him hang a plaque on the lintel of the shop that was exactly the same as his shop's - Rose Pavilion.
When he saw the plaque hung up that day, no matter how mentally prepared he was, Ruan Changsheng almost broke the counter apart.
If he hadn't been mentally prepared, he would have run across the street and smashed the shabby store on the spot!
But Sun Wei came over wearing sunglasses and said to him with a smile: "I will open on August 8, which is tomorrow. Come and play then."
Ruan Changsheng gritted his teeth and looked at him and smiled - fuck you!
Tomorrow I will make you, this bastard, unable to laugh.
August 8, 1983, it was a sunny summer day.
After washing up in the morning, Ruan Xi breathed in the morning air and went out with Ruan Changsheng and Qian Chuan. After arriving in the city, Qian Chuan rode his bike to his shop to open the door, while Ruan Xi followed Ruan Changsheng to the shop in Dazhalan and sat down.
Today is the opening day of Sun Wei's clothing store, so naturally she came to watch the fun.
Of course, if you want to watch a fun, you have to look like you are watching a fun. She and Ruan Changsheng bought some melon seeds and put them in the store. They also boiled water and made a pot of good tea. Then, they ate the melon seeds and drank tea while watching Sun Wei busy greeting customers across the street.
He invited quite a few people to support him, and there were so many flower baskets that there was almost no room at the door.
The opening of a new store is always lively, and soon there were crowds of people gathering outside Sun Wei's clothing store.
Sun Wei stood in front of the crowd and said loudly: "Everyone! Our store is open today, and there will be discounts as long as you buy something. I also promise here that everything in my store will be cheaper than the Rose Pavilion across the street!"
After he finished speaking, he made way and the people outside rushed in.
Whether or not to buy anything is another matter, but you have to join in the fun.
After the string of firecrackers across the street had finished exploding, Ruan Xi said while eating melon seeds, "Uncle Wu, how much do you think he can sell in a day?"
Ruan Changsheng said while eating sunflower seeds: "At this rate, we should be able to make a few thousand dollars."
Ruan Xi looked at the person opposite and replied slowly, "Who knows, it might be tens of thousands."
Because Sun Wei's opening attracted all the customers, there were few people coming to Ruan Changsheng's shop today. Ruan Xi and Ruan Changsheng spent the whole day leisurely watching the excitement in the store. Looking at Sun Wei, he smiled so hard that his back was bent with exhaustion.
It was not until the evening that Sun Wei's store became a little quieter.
At this time, Ruan Changsheng stood up, walked across the street and took a look at Sun Wei's shop.
Sun Wei was so proud that his tail was almost up in the air. When he saw Ruan Changsheng coming, he deliberately took out a wad of money from his bag, smashed it into his palm in front of Ruan Changsheng, and said with a smile: "How is it? My store is not worse than yours, right?"
Ruan Changsheng praised him, "You drive better than me, much better."
After he finished speaking, an embarrassed smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he continued, "It's just that... you helped us make so much money, I still feel a little embarrassed, thank you."
Sun Wei had no idea what he was talking about. He said with a silent smile on his face, "I help you make money? This is my store, and all the money I make is mine. Are you angry and confused?"
Ruan Changsheng leaned against the counter, looking relaxed and in a particularly good mood. He looked at him with a smile on his face and asked in a friendly tone, "Hey, did you know that the country passed the Trademark Law last year?"
Sun Wei said he didn't understand and didn't want to talk nonsense with Ruan Changsheng anymore, so he said angrily: "I don't know anything about trademark law. If you are jealous of me, just say it directly, don't talk nonsense with me here."
Ruan Changsheng tapped his fingers on the counter twice and continued to chat with him with a smile: "I finally understand. This guy really needs to read more books, otherwise he will be no different from a fool."
Sun Wei was too lazy to talk to Ruan Changsheng, so he raised his hand and said, "I don't have time to talk to you, I'll go and entertain the guests."
As a result, before he even took a step, he saw four men in navy blue uniforms coming in from outside the door. Anyone who does business recognizes this uniform and knows that these people are inspectors from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau and have great power.
Seeing that he didn't move, Ruan Changsheng turned his head and said, "Guys are coming, why don't you greet them?"
But before Sun Wei could say anything, the leader of the inspectors asked, "Who is Sun Wei?"
Sun Wei quickly put on a smile, "Comrade, I'm Sun Wei, what are you doing? I don't seem to have done anything wrong, right?"
The leading inspector looked at him coldly and spoke in a tone harder than stone: "Someone has complained that you deliberately infringed on other people's trademarks and used other people's trademarks to make profits. You have repeatedly ignored advice and made huge profits over a long period of time. Please come with us for investigation."
When Sun Wei heard this, his face turned dark, and the other customers who were looking at clothes immediately stopped what they were doing. He subconsciously took two steps back and looked at the leading inspector and said, "Comrade, you must have made a mistake, right?"
The leading inspector looked at him motionless, his expression stern and his words harsh: "Do you think we are all blind? You even stole someone else's shop sign, it's exactly the same as theirs, and you still say I made a mistake?"
Sun Wei argued: "What's wrong with me being the same as him? Why can he use it but I can't?"
The inspectors came only after obtaining all the evidence, so they didn't want to waste any more time talking to Sun Wei, and several of them went straight up and pressed him down. Sun Wei was not willing to commit the crime, and he hid behind her while saying, "I didn't commit any crime, why are you arresting me?!"
Seeing that a quarrel was about to break out, the customers in the store were frightened and immediately turned around and ran out. He ran out but didn't want to leave because he wanted to watch the fun, so he lay down at the door of the store and looked inside, watching four people in uniform performing a catching show inside.
Soon, many people gathered at the door, whispering to each other:
"What's going on? What's going on? Why are people from the Industry and Commerce Bureau here?"
"If the inspectors from the Industry and Commerce Bureau come to arrest someone, then he must have committed a crime, and it's not a small one."
"Look, it must be the store across the street that sued him. He's standing inside now. Oh my, he specifically chooses to ruin other people's business when they open for business."
"If you ask me, Sun Wei deserves it. He has been making money by pirating Rose Pavilion's clothes. He doesn't know how to restrain himself and often goes to provoke others. He should have been arrested long ago. Sometimes I get angry just watching him. He is really shameless and shameless. He is so fucking cheap!"
"But he has been doing this for so many years and no one cares. Why are they suddenly caring about it?"
"Don't you guys pay attention to current affairs when you do business? Last August, the country passed the Trademark Law, and Rose Pavilion must have registered a trademark. Stealing other people's trademarks will bring bad luck, and the more money you make, the heavier the punishment."
"Really? What's the punishment then?"
"If you make money by using someone else's things, then you should compensate them. It's hard to calculate how much they lost, so just calculate it based on how much money they made during the infringement period. After all, there are various procedures and account books, so it's clear once you check. In serious cases, fine them five times the money they made."
"Five times???"
"No, I'll not only make you spit it out, but also make you peel off a layer of skin."
"Will Sun Wei be punished so severely?"
"This is the first malicious infringement since the Trademark Law was passed, and there have been multiple conflicts. The company has refused to change despite repeated warnings. I guess they will not let it go easily. For this kind of thing, we need to catch a big example, which can effectively regulate the market order. Because the society has been too chaotic in recent years, I heard that the country is preparing to crack down on it recently. He will not have a good result."
"The one who sticks out gets shot. He's going too far. It's his own fault."
…
The four inspectors gestured to Sun Wei inside the store for a while. Two inspectors held Sun Wei in their hands and the leader said to the other two inspectors, "Confiscate all the clothes here and take away the sign outside!"
Sun Wei's eyes turned red with anxiety at this time. He was not at peace even when being held down by the inspector. With his ears and neck red, he struggled and screamed, "Why?! This is the shop I rented with my own money! I also paid for the clothes! Why did you confiscate my clothes? Why did you tear down my signboard?"
Seeing two inspectors escorting Sun Wei out, the people who were blocking the store door to watch the excitement immediately dispersed to the side.
Sun Wei was taken away in a car. The two inspectors who stayed behind began to collect the remaining clothes in Sun Wei's store, rolled them all up and stuffed them into sacks. After collecting them, they came out and climbed up the ladder to the lintel to remove the sign.
People gathered around to look up, and someone said, "Oh, it was just put up yesterday..."
When the inspector arrived, Ruan Xi moved a stool across the street and sat outside the store to watch the fun. Watching Sun Wei being taken away and the inspector removing the sign, she leisurely crossed her legs and drank herbal tea from the cup.
Suddenly, two girls walked by hand in hand. One of them looked across and exclaimed in surprise: "Huh? Didn't this store just open today? Why is it demolished now?"
