At the entrance of Niangui Grilled Green Pepper Sauce's main store.
The two elderly people sat in chairs with their arms crossed over their chests, their nostrils pointing to the sky, looking as if someone owed them a lot of money and hadn't paid it back.
The new sales clerk brought out two glasses of water, intending to give them to the elderly couple, but the two glasses were knocked to the ground by the two elderly people.
The sales clerk tried to pick it up, but before his hand even touched the cup, the elderly woman suddenly raised her foot and stomped on the disposable cup, flattening it.
The sales clerk was a young woman named Zhao Xiuchun. She had only been working there for two days and was not yet very familiar with the company's and store's business.
She was so anxious that she almost cried when she encountered such a difficult customer as soon as she started working.
"Uncle, Aunt, I've already sent someone to inform our boss. He'll be here soon, so please don't worry."
Zhao Xiuchun comforted him, her voice trembling with tears.
But the two elderly people showed no sympathy or pity for her tearful expression.
The elderly woman, in particular, sarcastically remarked, "Hmph, do you think you can make us pity you by putting on a pitiful act? I've seen plenty of people like you who sell their looks. You're filthy and stinky. I feel disgusted just looking at you."
Zhao Xiuchun subconsciously took two steps back, and tears finally streamed down her face.
At this moment, the old man said again, "Quickly call your boss, Wang Qian, over. If he doesn't come today, we're not leaving."
As he spoke, he crossed his legs, perfectly embodying the demeanor of a rogue.
Zhao Xiuchun opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.
Seeing the two elderly people's faces etched with hardship and their clothes tattered, she felt sorry for them and, even though they didn't buy anything, she brought out two chairs from the store for them to sit on.
As a result, once the two elderly people sat down, they started to put on airs and acted like they were old and powerful, repeatedly demanding to see their boss, Wang Qian.
Left with no other choice, he had to explain the situation to Yang Shenglong, the security captain who had just come to check.
"Our boss is here!"
Just when she was at her wit's end, she looked up and her sorrow turned to joy.
Several people were walking briskly towards them on the street not far away.
The burly, rugged-looking young man at the head of the group was Yang Shenglong, the man she had asked to find the boss earlier.
The other two are the boss, Wang Qian, and the general manager, Lin Chao.
"Who is your boss, Wang Qian?"
The elderly woman also became interested, her eyes filled with a fervent anticipation.
Soon, Wang Qian and his two companions arrived at the shop entrance.
"Are you Uncle Zhou and Aunt Chen?"
Before Wang Qian could speak, Lin Chao politely inquired first.
He had never seen these two elderly people before, but judging from Zhou Yuanyuan's reaction just now, he could almost guess who they were.
They should be Zhou Yuanyuan's parents, Zhou Quanfu and Chen Jingying.
After Zhou Yuanyuan confessed to him, she also told him everything from the past.
According to Zhou Yuanyuan herself, she was born into an extremely unfortunate family.
My father, Zhou Quanfu, was a gambling addict. Because of his gambling addiction, he not only lost all the valuables in the house, but also borrowed from all the relatives and friends he could. After his reputation was completely ruined, no one paid any attention to Zhou Quanfu anymore.
As for Zhou Yuanyuan's mother, Chen Jingying, I heard she used to work in that field.
Because of her aging and fading beauty, she could no longer attract customers and was forced to retire. She then married Zhou Quanfu, a gambling addict who couldn't find a wife.
Originally, that line of work was quite lucrative, but Chen Jingying was proficient in smoking, drinking, and gambling.
Whenever he earns a little money, he indulges in extravagant spending until he runs out of money, then goes back to his shady job in a drunken stupor.
So much so that he was forced to retire at the age of thirty-six.
When he was desperate, he happened to meet Zhou Quanfu, a gambler who was also unable to find a wife.
The two hit it off immediately, spent some time together, and surprisingly had a daughter.
This daughter is now Zhou Yuanyuan.
Although Zhou Quanfu and Chen Jingying were scumbags, even tigers don't eat their cubs, and in the end, they still raised Zhou Yuanyuan.
However, with such parents, Zhou Yuanyuan's childhood environment is self-evident.
They either beat or scold, and their parents often spew out some outrageous and shocking phrases from traditional Chinese culture.
Sometimes, while her parents were out having a good time, they would leave Zhou Yuanyuan alone at home, sometimes not coming back for days and nights.
If Zhou Yuanyuan hadn't been lucky enough to learn to take care of herself at a very young age, she probably would have starved to death countless times.
When Zhou Yuanyuan reached school age, Zhou Quanfu originally did not plan to send her to school.
In Zhou Quanfu's view, his daughter was a money-losing proposition; when she grew up and got married, he would need a dowry.
But Chen Jingying disagreed, saying directly to Zhou Yuanyuan, "Learn some knowledge, and even if you sell yourself in the future, your value will be much higher. The most valuable thing is to be both beautiful and talented."
Under Chen Jingying's insistence, Zhou Quanfu had no choice but to agree to let Zhou Yuanyuan go to school.
However, it's just a registration fee.
As for their school life, Zhou Quanfu and Chen Jingying hardly ever asked about it, let alone cared about their grades.
Occasionally, when the teacher calls them to parent-teacher meetings, Zhou Quanfu and Chen Jingying even forget what grade their daughter is in and which class she is in.
However, perhaps because she was born into such an unfortunate family, Zhou Yuanyuan was independent and self-reliant from a young age. Even though her parents didn't care, her academic performance was always among the best in her class.
Later, he not only passed the entrance exam for junior high school, but also for senior high school.
However, being born into such an unfortunate family was only the beginning of Zhou Yuanyuan's misfortune.
