Upon hearing this, the boss's expression immediately changed. "Don't you know our store's rules?"
Shi Lan lowered her eyes and remained silent.
The boss stared at her for a few seconds and emphasized, "No credit, no debts, no advances."
Shi Lan lowered her eyes and said, "But I've already been working for more than half a month, so it doesn't count as being on credit."
The boss held up the banknotes and gestured forcefully, "Payroll is paid monthly. The store rules can't be changed just because of you. How many times do I have to emphasize this?"
Shi Lan pursed her lips and remained silent.
He unzipped his bag, quickly stuffed the money into it, gave Shi Lan a disapproving look, and then swayed away again.
Shi Lan twitched her fingers, her deep eyes fixed on his retreating figure.
In the evening, a colleague came to relieve her and noticed that she looked unwell, so she asked, "What's wrong?"
Shi Lan shook her head and remained silent.
My colleague wasn't very familiar with Shi Lan, and since he had already asked and she didn't say anything, he didn't ask again.
After leaving the convenience store, Shi Lan looked around the surrounding commercial area and had an idea in mind. There was a clothing store here that was purely handmade. Shi Lan felt that her skills in making clothes and embroidery might not be outstanding elsewhere, but in this place where patterns were woven by machines, she should have a unique skill.
Alternatively, she could set up a fortune-telling stall. She was quite skilled at face reading and divination. If she could build a good reputation, she might be able to pay off the debt owed by the original owner quickly. However, everything is difficult at the beginning, and she didn't have the capital to open a shop yet, so she could only focus on the present for now.
Shi Lan stared at the ground, walking absentmindedly, when a burly man hurried over from the opposite side.
The man was probably used to people making way for him, and he walked with a brisk pace. Shi Lan was lost in thought and didn't notice her surroundings, so she bumped into the man.
The man swayed slightly before regaining his footing.
Shi Lan staggered back several steps before barely managing to regain her balance. (To be continued. If you like this work, please vote for it on Qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.com to read.)
