Xu Jianguo walked into the supply and marketing cooperative, where two salespeople were chatting.
Similar to the waiter at the state-owned restaurant he met at noon, after Xu Jianguo entered the door, the two sales clerks acted as if they didn't see him and continued chatting about their own things.
Xu Jianguo had also experienced the moral character of employees in state-owned enterprises in this era, so he didn't care and just strolled around on his own.
The supply and marketing cooperative has a wide range of items, and everything that ordinary people need in their daily lives is available here.
But these things were placed in a very messy manner. For example, Xu Jianguo found that a pile of rubber shoes were stacked on top of the thermos, and towels were stacked on top of clam oil and vanishing cream. It would take a long time to find something.
Xu Jianguo saw the cloth on the counter and walked over.
Looking at the various cloths in front of him, Xu Jianguo reached out and touched them, and finally chose two types, one with a blue background and white dots, and the other with red and green floral fabrics.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard a sharp voice: "What are you doing? This cloth requires cloth coupons. Do you have any? Besides, your hands are so dirty, what if you damage it?!"
The sudden roar made Xu Jianguo stand there in a daze, and then his face turned gloomy.
Xu Jianguo didn't say anything. With a cold face, he reached into his trouser pocket, took out the cloth coupons from the space, and slammed them heavily on the counter.
The other salesman saw that the man was dressed in rags and patches, and most importantly, he had smeared ink on his face to avoid being recognized when he went to the black market to sell things. Therefore, his face was now dark and he looked like a country bumpkin. So he said, "Just having a coupon is not enough. Do you have money? You are wearing rags and tatters. You look like a country bumpkin. Let me tell you, this cloth is very valuable! You can't afford it at all. Get out of here!"
"That's right!" the salesperson who spoke first echoed.
I've seen people bullied, but I've never seen people bullied like this.
Xu Jianguo reached into his pocket again and pulled out the big black pen from the space. He slammed it on the counter and said in a cold tone, "Although I don't have much money, I can still afford a few feet of cloth! But you two, as salesmen, yelled at me, a customer, and sat there chatting since I walked in, completely treating me as a transparent person. Isn't this passive work and laziness? Besides, you don't know me, let alone understand me. You immediately concluded that I have no tickets and no money. Who gave you the right to look at me with tinted glasses? I may be from the countryside, but what's wrong with being from the countryside? Do we rural people eat your family's food and live in your house? If it weren't for the country folk you mentioned growing vegetables and crops to support you, what would you eat? I think you two are just bored! After just a few years of eating enough, you have forgotten your parents who provided food and clothing? Haven't there been any rural people in your family for three generations?"
"Okay!" A voice suddenly came from behind Xu Jianguo.
Xu Jianguo turned around and saw that a few more people had come in from outside.
Judging from the way these people are dressed, they should be workers from a nearby factory and probably live nearby.
Xu Jianguo guessed correctly. These people were workers from the Red Star Machinery Factory in Fu'an County. They often came to buy things and had long been dissatisfied with the two salesmen. Unexpectedly, Xu Jianguo's words today hit the nail on the head, so they couldn't help but shout "good".
"You..." The salesperson who spoke first was so angry at Xu Jianguo's words that his body trembled. He pointed at Xu Jianguo for a long time but couldn't say anything.
"What do you mean by 'you'? Are you speechless? I don't need to tell you that labor is glorious. Farming in the countryside is also labor, so you have no right to look down on us, or anyone else, and you certainly have no right to divide people into different classes! Whether you're from the city or the countryside, everyone is equal. Do you really think you're still living in the old society? A great man once said that everyone should be respected! But what you two did today clearly showed that you were looking down on us farmers. I'm going to sue you!"
Xu Jianguo's words were so powerful that the two salesmen from the supply and marketing cooperative had turned pale with fear.
On weekdays, they act arrogantly and ignore people who come to buy things, and sometimes even insult them.
But even so, those rural people did not dare to challenge them, and would just leave in shame when they were bullied.
Over time, they develop an arrogant, conceited, and fearful character.
But today they met Xu Jianguo, and what this young man said made them feel scared.
Because they know that if others know that they look down on farmers, they will be finished. Not only will they lose their jobs, they may also be investigated by the street or even the public security bureau.
You know, in this era, provoking internal conflicts among people is a serious crime.
"Little brother, I... I didn't look down on you... It was all my fault before. I apologize to you. I'm sorry!" The salesperson who first scolded Xu Jianguo said to Xu Jianguo in a trembling voice.
In fact, this salesperson also grew up in the countryside. Later, her sister married and moved to the county town. The man’s family had some connections, so someone arranged a job for her in the county supply and marketing cooperative.
In order to get this job, the two families gritted their teeth, tightened their belts, and spent a lot of money and good things to get it.
Her family members were also proud that she could work in the supply and marketing cooperative. Many people would ask her for help and say good things to help them buy things. Over time, she developed a superior personality.
In the words of later generations, it means "floating!"
When he met Xu Jianguo today, he realized how ridiculous his sense of superiority was. If he lost his job, he didn't know how to face his family. He really wanted to die and regretted it so much!
"Little brother, I don't look down on you! You are right, it is us who did something wrong. Please don't sue us. I apologize to you. I'm sorry! I promise you and everyone that I will work hard in the future and treat everyone equally! Please! Wuuuuu..." Another salesperson also had a terrified face. He kept saying sorry and even made a promise to him. In the end, he even burst into tears.
"Little brother, please... please forgive us, we won't dare to do it again!"
The two salesmen's voices became lower and lower, tears as big as beans kept coming out, and they looked at Xu Jianguo with pitiful eyes.
[Ding, trigger the system selection task, do you want to forgive the salesperson? ]
[Option 1, forgive, reward the host with 10 times the shopping amount and ticket refund]
[Option 2: No forgiveness, reward host with 100 times the shopping amount and ticket refund]
The sudden appearance of the system task made Xu Jianguo feel dazed for a moment. After he looked at the options, he shook his head helplessly, thinking, "This system is testing my humanity!"
"System, I choose one"
[Ding, selection completed, reward skills have been distributed to the portable space]
