Li Chunli was also shocked at first, but after she calmed down, she found that the two people were market managers.
"Sorry, what's wrong, leader?" Li Chunli quickly apologized with a smile.
"Someone reported you for selling expired mooncakes. Come on, let's go to the office with us." The tall man said expressionlessly.
"Leader, this must be a misunderstanding." Li Chunli said quickly.
"Humph, misunderstanding? You'll know when you get there." The tall man snorted coldly, then said to Yuan Fangguo, "Drive your car to the office yourself."
Yuan Fangguo no longer had the passion and anger he had before. He knew that these two men must be from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau that managed this area.
It was really bad luck. Yuan Fangguo could only blame himself and followed behind obediently to the management office.
The two guys were not polite at all and opened the boxes of mooncakes in front of them. Many of the mooncakes inside were moldy and had mold growing on them.
"Are you two immoral?" The tall man suddenly became angry, spitting everywhere.
"We don't know either, leader." Li Chunli said with a look of grievance.
"You don't know? So it's about the mooncake factory?" the tall man asked. "Then tell me which mooncake factory did such a wicked thing."
"There's no problem with the mooncake factory." said Li Chunli.
"There's nothing wrong with the mooncake factory, it's just you two who have the problem," said the tall man.
Seeing that the people from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau were being aggressive in holding Li Chunli accountable, Li Chunli felt very aggrieved, and Yuan Fangguo also felt indescribable in his heart. He was a man and could not let Li Chunli, a woman, endure this.
"Boss, we didn't mean to do that. The mooncake packaging got soaked by rain a few days ago, and wasn't the sun shining on Wednesday? We didn't know that and left the mooncakes out in the sun, and they ended up growing hair."
"Haha, this is the first time I've seen people showing off their mooncakes. You guys are really generous." The tall man snorted coldly, "We'll confiscate all the mooncakes and fine you 500 yuan."
They naturally had no objection to the mooncakes being confiscated, but when they heard that they would be fined 500 yuan, Yuan Fangguo quickly started to plead for mercy.
"Can the fine be reduced? We don't want the receipt."
"Want to bribe me?"
"That's not what I meant. You see, you have worked hard, and the leader looks like an upright person." Yuan Fangguo said with an apologetic smile.
The tall man threw the pen in his hand onto the desk and said coldly, "How about this, it depends on your performance. If you perform well, you will be fined 200 yuan."
Yuan Fangguo knew what he meant and quickly took out 400 yuan, 200 yuan for the fine and the other 200 yuan as "hardship fee" for the two of them.
Seeing that Yuan Fangguo was quite understanding, the tall man sneered and quickly wrote down the number 200.
Holding the fine, Yuan Fangguo did not forget to thank them, and almost sincerely expressed that it was fortunate for their timely help, otherwise he would have fallen into a deeper abyss.
Li Chunli was so distressed that tears welled up in her eyes, but she was powerless to do anything.
The moment I walked out of the office, I didn't know when the sky started to drizzle.
Yuan Fangguo couldn't help but inhale the drizzle into his mouth. The heat in his body dropped, but he had no place to put the grievances in his heart.
Li Chunli finally shed tears, but the more she wiped her tears, the more she cried.
The two stayed in the autumn wind and rain for a long time, speechless.
Yuan Fangguo really wanted to comfort Li Chunli, but seeing that Li Chunli's emotions were still a little unstable, he didn't say anything.
He waited until Li Chunli's emotions calmed down a little before he spoke.
"Sister Li, don't be sad. We must look forward to everything. We must make back the money we lost."
Li Chunli was a little confused. After all, she was a woman. At this moment, she really wanted to throw herself into a warm embrace and have a good cry, but in this busy market, she had no place to vent.
"Fang Guo, it's all my fault." Li Chunli sighed.
"It has nothing to do with you. It's just that we don't understand these things. Not to mention you, if I saw the sun coming out that day, I would do the same thing."
"Am I stupid?" Li Chunli said with self-mockery.
Yuan Fangguo shook his head. "You're not stupid. You're just like me, too impatient."
"I've suffered a lot from this loss." Li Chunli said with a wry smile.
“But it also allows us to see more clearly.”
"What do you want to see clearly?" Li Chunli asked.
"Look at everything carefully. If you were given another chance, what would you do with those mooncakes?"
"There's really no way to deal with it. Perhaps the best way is to get rid of it as soon as we discover it." Li Chunli said helplessly.
"Yes, almost." Yuan Fangguo agreed with her approach.
"Let's go, Fang Guo, let's go back." Li Chunli sighed softly.
On the way back, Li Chunli did not take the bus, but sat in the carriage. The autumn wind mixed with autumn rain blew towards them mercilessly.
…
After today's lesson, Yuan Fangguo and Li Chunli adjusted their mentality in time. The loss of 1,300 yuan was a huge amount of money for them, but they were not scared by the loss. The two discussed how to recover the losses before going to Guangzhou.
The weather in Bashu made them afraid of mooncakes, so they decided not to sell them anymore and look for other business opportunities.
However, the business opportunities in this season do not seem to be great, and they did not even think of any high-profit business opportunities.
In desperation, Li Chunli could only shift her focus to her clothing store, while Yuan Fangguo used the last few days to visit the market and investigate prices.
His notebook contained more than ten pages just recording the prices of various small commodities, and it looked very densely packed.
The only good news here may be that Li Chunli’s ex-husband Xiao Mingliang even sold his house.
An old neighbor told Li Chunli that Xiao Mingliang sold his house for 30,000 yuan and left with his luggage.
As for where to go, they don't know either.
Li Chunli was naturally too lazy to care about Xiao Mingliang. Once Xiao Mingliang left, at least she didn't have to worry about being disturbed by him.
Because of the loss-making deal, they bought seat tickets to Guangzhou.
Calculating the time, it will take more than 40 hours.
After preparing money and food, the two waited to board the train to Guangzhou at around 11 o'clock in the evening on September 28.
That evening, the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala of the School of Literature of Bashu University also began in the academic lecture hall of the school.
