Su Xueli smiled and said, "I was just using an analogy; I hope he doesn't mean it."
Yan Yan smiled, but her eyes looked somewhat lost.
There's only one state-run store in Matou Town, the one where Lin Meizhi works as a saleswoman. So, Su Xueli will have to meet this rival from two lifetimes again.
It's Chinese New Year, so the shops are busy. Customers have been coming in a steady stream since the shops opened these past two days. Lin Meizhi and another saleswoman are working like spinning tops again today.
Finally, things quieted down for a while, and the two sat behind the counter drinking tea and complaining.
Lin Meizhi said viciously, "It would be better if all these people died during the Lunar New Year. We have to deal with them one after another, and the government doesn't give us any extra money."
Another salesperson advised her, "Don't say such harsh things, or people will hear you when they come in."
Lin Meizhi rolled her big eyes in surprise, "Whoever wants to hear this can hear it. If you're so capable, get the government to fire me."
Su Xueli and Su Yanyan entered just as those words were spoken.
Lin Meizhi heard the footsteps but didn't even glance at them. She haughtily told the other saleswoman, "You take care of things. I don't have time."
Another sales clerk asked Su Xueli and Yan Yan, "What do you want?"
Su Xueli glanced at the several thermos cups displayed on the shelf behind Lin Meizhi and said, "Let me take a look at those cups."
The after-sales staff told Lin Meizhi, "The item on the shelf is right behind you. Just reach out and grab it."
Lin Meizhi recognized Su Xueli's voice immediately; as the saying goes, enemies meeting are bound to be furious. She glanced at Su Xueli, gritted her teeth, turned away, and remained motionless with a dark expression.
The sales clerk recognized Su Xueli and, with an expression of anticipation, said to Lin Meizhi, "Meizhi, Miss, didn't you hear me? Get the customer a thermos."
Lin Meizhi glanced at the clock on the wall and said, "It's almost time to close, we're not selling anymore."
Su Xueli glanced at her watch and said, "Isn't it supposed to be 5 o'clock when we get off work? It's only 4:55 now, there are still 5 minutes to go."
Lin Meizhi said coldly, "I'm used to stopping selling five minutes before I leave work."
Great, awesome!
But today you've met your match.
Su Xueli walked up to her counter and said, "But I don't care about that. As long as the store is open, I have the right to buy things here. It's against the rules for you not to sell to me."
Lin Meizhi looked at Su Xueli with venomous eyes and said through gritted teeth, "I broke the rules, so what are you going to do about it?"
Su Xueli smiled calmly, grabbed the teacup she was drinking from, and smashed it on the ground.
"Crack!" The white teacup shattered into pieces.
"Ah!" another sales clerk screamed in fright.
Lin Meizhi's eyes widened in surprise; she hadn't expected Su Xueli to dare to do such a thing.
"Xueli, what are you doing? If she doesn't want to sell, then she doesn't want to sell. Let's not buy it. Let's go." Yan Yan grabbed Su Xueli's arm and pulled her away.
Su Xueli pointed at Lin Meizhi and said, "You really can't not sell today. I'm the customer, and the customer is God. You're just an employee. Who do you think you are? If this gets out of hand, let's see who loses their job!"
Lin Meizhi had always been proud like a little princess since she was a child, and she had never been treated like this before, especially by a woman who had stolen her husband.
She ran out from behind the counter in a frenzy, screaming, "I'm not selling to you today! I've offended you! I'll see what you, this God, can do to me..."
"What can you do? You'll find out what happens when you get to the police station!" Su Xueli reached out and grabbed Lin Meizhi's hair.
"Oh no, you can't fight!" Yan Yan and the saleswoman grabbed Su Xueli's hand as she was about to slap Lin Meizhi.
Lin Meizhi was held by the hair and couldn't lift her head. She reached out her hands to grab Su Xueli's face, but the saleswoman stopped her firmly.
