Chapter 226 Li Mingzhu
Zhang Jing agreed with Zhao Yi not wanting to be a maintenance man. Su and the others didn't have jobs either, so they were not worried about this matter. Zhang Jing naturally wouldn't worry either. She had been friends with Su Hong for nearly ten years and knew that Su Hong would not harm her family.
Zhang Jing immediately understood what Zhao Yi had just said. Both sides were good friends. Giving to one of them and not the other might not seem like a big deal on the surface, but she would feel uncomfortable in her heart.
In front of the Children's Palace.
"Comrade, do you need a watch? It's a new and interesting gadget from Hong Kong that can only be found in big cities like Shanghai."
Following Zhao Yi's instructions, Chen Yan would approach and sell his products to people whenever he saw them well-dressed.
I have sold the watch to seven or eight people already. Although they were very curious when they heard it, they were a little hesitant after seeing the watch. They wanted to buy it but didn't have that much money on them. Thirty yuan is almost a month's salary, and few people carry that much money on them.
After an afternoon, Chen Yan finally sold the two electronic watches.
Just as he was about to give Zhao Yi the capital, he was blocked by seven or eight people.
These people were all well-dressed and looked very young, probably under 20 years old.
"My friend, I can tell from the first glance that you are not from this region. Do you know that this is our territory? Why didn't you say hello to us when you came to our territory to sell things? Do you think highly of us?"
After hearing this, Chen Yan knew what these people were doing.
A group of unemployed vagrants, seeing that they were not from here, were ready to blackmail.
"There are too many people here, let's go over there and talk."
Chen Yan pointed to an alley not far away. When they heard this, they immediately became happy. It was indeed not a good idea to ask the people in front of them to take money here, as there were too many people coming and going.
Several people followed Chen Yan into the alley. Soon, several screams were heard. Chen Yan spat, then clapped his hands and left quickly.
After training with the people from Xiongjia Village for nearly half a year, Chen Yan carried so many things on his back and worked on the mountain roads every day. Although he couldn't deal with the hunters from Xiongjia Village, it was still quite easy for him to deal with these people who did nothing all day long.
Chen Yan quickly came to the department store, handed fifty yuan to Zhao Yi, and then hurriedly left the area and rushed back to the commune.
"Is this kid being chased by a dog? How can he run so fast?"
Zhang Jing looked curious. At this time, the couple were also preparing to set up a stall in the square.
"He just had a fight with someone. Didn't you see the footprints behind him?"
Zhao Yi smiled.
Although I don't know what it is, Chen Yan doesn't look like anything is wrong.
Soon the couple arrived at the place where they had set up their stall yesterday. There were already quite a few people waiting nearby. When they saw that Zhao Yi had only a few things on his cart, the people in the front of them looked very proud.
The people at the back looked disappointed.
The stall hasn't been set up yet.
"Comrade, I want a TV and a tape recorder."
The first person in line shouted happily, as if he was afraid that others didn't know he bought a TV. His expression was so proud.
After his family gave him money for the batteries and tapes, he walked around the square with the TV and tape recorder, wishing that everyone who came to the square would know that he had bought a TV.
"Comrade, do you still have the TV?"
When it was the fifth person's turn, he looked a little sad. If he had known earlier, he would have asked for leave today. Now the TV seemed to be gone, but there was still a tape recorder.
The people in front were like bandits. Each of them bought two tape recorders. You could tell at a glance that someone saw them at the front of the line and felt they had no hope, but because they had a good relationship with them, they asked them to help buy the tickets.
"The TV is out of stock. If you need it, you'll have to wait a week."
Zhao Yi shook his head.
There are two TVs in my house that have been given away. They will come to pick them up in a few days, and I will have to tie big red flowers on the TVs when they do.
As for tape recorders, there are still more than seventy of them, but judging from the scene, there won’t be many left after today.
There were at least fifty people still queuing at this time.
"Does the tape recorder still come with a battery for the tape?"
"Send it, of course."
Zhao Yi smiled.
These things were given by wholesalers. Zhao Yi naturally didn't want to make money from them, but it also gave people who bought the tape recorder a feeling of getting a bargain.
When the last tape recorder at the stall was sold, Zhang Jing started shouting.
"The TV is gone. Anyone who needs a tape recorder can leave it here."
After hearing this, those who were still queuing decided not to leave. It would be a good idea to buy a tape recorder.
Everyone lined up and followed the couple to the department store, and arrived at the door of Zhao Yi's house. At this time, the people who were watching TV here were also curious about why Zhang Jing and his wife brought so many people here.
Zhang Jing was guarding the door while Zhao Yi went upstairs to move the tape recorder. He handed over the money with one hand and the goods with the other.
By the time the last person left, Zhao Yi was already sweating profusely.
The cardboard box that Zhang Jing used to store money was already filled with a lot of money.
Li Mingzhu's home.
There were a lot of people visiting today. Some of them I had never met before, but when I heard that a job position had become vacant in the department store, many of them became restless.
Now that the educated youth have returned to the city, the factories are saturated and many people are begging for a job but cannot find one. Having a job means having a source of income.
Going on a blind date can also make the other person's family look up to you.
"This brat Zhao Yi has given me a big problem."
Li Mingzhu looked at her man, shook her head and sighed.
"You said it was a difficult problem, but these people treated it as a treasure. You, my little brother, really thought of everything for you, but this matter is really difficult to handle. There is only one job, but so many people come to the door.
If it doesn't work, go ask that guy if he has any solution. I always feel that he is very cunning. ”
Li Mingzhu's husband laughed.
His family treated Zhao Yi as a relative and never looked down on him, even though all the members of his family were cadres and Zhao Yi and his wife were just workers.
"The one who tied the bell should be the one to untie it. Tell him about the situation tomorrow. I think that guy thought this job was a hot potato and threw it to me."
Li Mingzhu smiled.
"By the way, please ask Director Deng to help keep an eye on him. I heard that someone reported him for setting up a stall last time. If we know who it was, we can help resolve the issue."
Li Mingzhu's husband looked at Li Mingzhu and said seriously.
"You don't need to tell me about this. I've already asked Director Deng for help. I'm such a kind person and have never had a quarrel with anyone in the department store for so many years. Yet, someone wants to punish him. Fortunately, he is allowed to do business now. Otherwise, I would have to risk my reputation and ask Director Tu Jiao for help."
Li Mingzhu was obviously a little angry when she mentioned this. She really treated Zhao Yi as her own younger brother. Zhao Yi had been so kind to others over the years, never bullied anyone or quarreled with anyone. In the department store, many people had more meat dishes on their New Year's Eve dinner tables because of him.
Now someone is trying to trip us up.
