She was startled, and then she heard Long Xiao's pleasant low laugh from above her head, "Awake?"
"When did you get up?"
"Just woke up."
Fu Bao looked around, pulled him aside and said, "No one noticed you coming out of my room, right?"
Long Xiao was amused by her sudden question, "What do you think?"
"I'm serious!"
"Of course no one noticed. If they did, would I still be able to stand here?" Long Xiao said as a matter of course. If he was discovered, this family would not let him go.
"That's good." Fubao breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest.
Long Xiao wanted to tease her when he saw her nervous look. He lowered his head and leaned close to her ear, saying mischievously, "How about we continue tonight? As long as no one finds out, right?"
Before Fubao could say anything, a voice jumped in from the side, "Continue what? What did you find out?"
Fubao looked over immediately and saw Shen Zhile appearing nearby, looking at the two of them with curiosity and confusion.
Long Xiao was obviously displeased by the sudden appearance of this uninvited guest. He stood up and said, "Nothing, you heard it wrong."
"I didn't hear it wrong! I have very good hearing!" Shen Zhile said unconvincedly, "I know without you saying it, you must be teasing Fubao again. After all, you can't do anything else except this."
Long Xiao, "..."
In the eyes of this brother-in-law, is he such a good-for-nothing person?
When Fubao heard this, he couldn't help laughing.
Seeing her brilliant smile, Long Xiao was startled at first, and then he sighed inwardly. Okay, it's useless, as long as this girl is happy.
…
About two months later, the department store was completed and would be open for business soon.
As one of the few tall buildings in the county town, this department store is quite impressive and can be regarded as a local landmark.
On the opening day, almost everyone in the county gathered to watch the fun. After all, this was the largest department store in the county, and they couldn't wait to go in and buy things.
Old Man Shen invited the city’s famous lion dance troupe and acrobatic troupe to entertain him. Firecrackers were set off with a crackling sound, gongs and drums were deafening, and the scene was hot and lively.
It's still the ribbon-cutting time now, and judging from the huge crowds of onlookers, you can tell how good the business will be after the opening.
When the official ribbon-cutting ceremony came, Old Man Shen pulled Fubao over and asked her to do it.
The whole family felt that there was no one more suitable than Fubao.
Old Man Shen and Shen Zhile pulled the red colored silk, and Fubao took the scissors and cut the big red flower in the middle. Immediately, the scene was filled with more enthusiastic gongs and drums, and firecrackers kept going off.
Next it's time for the speech.
Old man Shen would never have thought that he, a man who had been paralyzed for most of his life due to hard work, would actually have a day to speak on stage like a leader. With so many people watching, even though he was already old, he still felt embarrassed.
So he just said a few simple words, shared some of his thoughts and experiences, introduced the opening promotions to the people present, and then left.
After the opening ceremony, the door of the department store opened and the crowd of onlookers immediately rushed inside impatiently.
There were simply too many people. If a lot of security guards hadn’t been hired to maintain order, who knows how chaotic it would have been!
