Wei Mingshen and Su Xueli said, "Since that's the case, let's not force the manager. Let's try somewhere else. If it doesn't work, we won't do wholesale anymore and we'll sell it ourselves."
"Hey, no, no, no!" the manager stopped him.
He said, "How about this, I'll take all 12 sets. If they sell well, I'll take as many as you make in the future."
Su Xueli was delighted: "It's two yuan more expensive than I expected!"
But she didn't dare to speak, looking at Wei Mingshen and waiting for his answer.
Wei Mingshen thought for a moment and said, "Manager, I didn't want to offer this price, but since this is our first time working together, I'll give you this price for now."
The manager immediately paid them, repeatedly telling them to finish the job before bringing the money back.
As soon as she stepped out of the manager's office, Su Xueli was as cheerful as a little bird, praising Wei Mingshen: "You're a top salesperson! You sold a set for two yuan more than the price I set, that's amazing!"
Wei Mingshen narrowed his peach blossom eyes, "How will you reward me?"
Su Xueli said boldly, "You can eat as much meat as you want!"
Wei Mingshen grinned, revealing a set of white teeth. Looking at the bustling crowd in the department store, he asked her in a low voice, "Is this your first time in the city?"
Indeed, this is the first time Su Xueli has come to the city in both her lives.
She nodded.
Wei Mingshen said, "Since this is our first time here, let's wander around and see what a big city looks like."
To be honest, big cities in this era were just starting out. Apart from some high-rise buildings and shops that were larger than those in the countryside, there wasn't much to see. Su Xueli just wanted to go home and earn money.
She said, "It's so cold, let's not shop anymore. Let's eat and go home. Oh, and let's buy some more paint."
Wei Mingshen thought for a moment and said, "That's true. There's really nothing to do in the dead of winter. I'll take you to the peony garden to see the peonies in the spring."
One sentence sent a shiver down Su Xueli's spine.
In my previous life, living conditions gradually improved, and the city held a peony festival. Every spring, tourists from all over the country and even from other countries would come to the peony garden to admire the peonies.
She watched as people around her joined in pairs or brought their families to the city to see the peonies, and she felt envious and tempted to go and see them too.
But she knew her place in her husband's heart and never dared to make any demands of him.
It was her neighbor, Aunt Er, who felt sorry for her. She came to her house with two tickets to the Caozhou Peony Garden, gave the tickets to Wei Mingshen, and asked him to take her and her child to the peony garden for a day.
Back then, the children were small and didn't need tickets.
Wei Mingshen couldn't refuse the tickets, but he gave both tickets to her and told her to find someone to accompany her.
Heartbroken, Su Xueli returned the ticket to her second aunt, and thus, she never came to the city to see the peonies before she died.
"Hey, what's wrong with you? You suddenly seem a bit dazed." Wei Mingshen patted her on the shoulder.
"Don't touch me!" Su Xueli glared at him angrily.
Wei Mingshen was startled by her gaze and asked, "What's wrong with you? Are you possessed by a ghost?"
Su Xueli took a deep breath and realized that she needed him to make money right now, so she should suppress the hatred from her past life.
He turned his face to the side and said in a gentler tone, "Didn't I tell you? I hate it when people lay hands on me. You never learn your lesson."
Wei Mingshen apologized, "I was wrong, I was wrong, I will definitely change in the future. Um, it's already noon, I'm starving, please treat me to some meat."
