Chapter 101 The Municipal Commerce Bureau Comes to Inspect
"Sister Zhang, I brought some pickles and bacon. If you don't mind, you can eat them together."
She turned around and met Su Xiaoxiao's smiling eyes.
As soon as the words fell, a mocking voice came from my ear: "What's so delicious about those shabby things you brought? Sister Zhang, come and eat mine. I bought this from a state-owned restaurant."
Wang Lili came over with a lunch box. Her family was well-off, so she naturally disdained to bring her own lunch. She always went to the state-owned restaurant to buy food.
Seeing Su Xiaoxiao being attentive to Zhang Yulan in the morning, she went to the state-owned restaurant to buy braised pork, intending to outdo Su Xiaoxiao.
Unexpectedly, just after he finished speaking, he heard Zhang Yulan speak: "No need, poor people like us are not worthy of eating the food of a lady like you."
Zhang Yulan turned her head and smiled at Su Xiaoxiao, "This pickle looks delicious, so I won't be polite."
Wang Lili: “…”
Is Zhang Yulan sick? She doesn't want to eat the braised pork but has to eat the peasant's rotten pickles?
If she doesn’t want to eat it, then forget it. She can eat it herself.
Anyway, her father is the chief secretary and her fiancé has even stronger connections, so she is too disdainful to please a powerless salesperson.
Thinking of this, she turned around and went to eat with her lunch box.
After lunch, everyone took a break and started the busy afternoon again.
The seafood was sold out in the morning, so everyone was relatively free in the afternoon.
While everyone was busy, an old lady with patched clothes and gray hair walked tremblingly towards Wang Lili's counter.
There were several people queuing behind her, but the old lady walked as slowly as a snail.
Wang Lili couldn't help but roll her eyes: "If you want to buy something, hurry up. Can't you see so many people waiting?"
"Grandma, why don't you come to my place to buy it? There are not many people here."
Su Xiaoxiao had just finished her work when she saw the old lady. She didn't know why she always felt that the old lady looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen her before.
The old lady met Wang Lili's impatient face and said, "Okay, then I'll go buy it over there. This waiter is too scary."
As he said this, he began to move to another place tremblingly.
Wang Lili's eyebrows were throbbing with anger. What was this old woman talking about?
It’s better not to buy from her, she is not willing to serve.
The old lady came to Su Xiaoxiao's side tremblingly and lined up.
Su Xiaoxiao moved quickly and it was her turn soon.
Finally it was her turn. The old lady stood in front of the counter for a long time but still couldn't think of what she wanted to buy.
Wang Lili sneered at this and said, "Don't you like to take the blame for yourself? Isn't that embarrassing?"
Su Xiaoxiao didn't want to pay attention to her. She just smiled and looked at the old lady: "Grandma, if you really can't remember, just go to the side and wait for a while. Tell me when you remember."
"Okay, okay, it's all my fault for being old and confused. I'm sorry for causing you trouble."
The old lady moved to the side as she spoke. The customers who had complained just now stopped complaining and continued to queue up to buy things.
Even after everyone had finished shopping, the old lady still hadn't thought of what to buy.
Seeing her standing there, Su Xiaoxiao turned around, helped her move a stool, and poured her a cup of hot water with her own enamel pot.
"Grandma, don't worry, take your time to think about it."
At this moment, the sales manager Yang Baoguo came over with a square step.
He held a steaming enamel pot in his hand and took a sip every two steps, looking like a real leader.
Wandering over to the grocery counter, he glanced at everyone one by one and said in a deep voice, "The Municipal Commerce Bureau will send someone to inspect our work soon. Everyone, please be careful. Anyone who dares to fail at a critical moment will lose their bonus this month."
When everyone heard this, they immediately straightened their backs.
The Municipal Bureau of Commerce is the local management department of department stores. It will send people to inspect department stores from time to time to understand the store’s business conditions and service quality.
Wang Lili's eyes lit up immediately when she heard that. Seeing Yang Baoguo about to leave, she hurriedly called him back, "Director Yang, I have something to report."
Yang Baoguo was about to stroll to another counter when he heard this. He stopped and looked at her with a frown: "What's the matter? Tell me."
Wang Lili glared at Su Xiaoxiao complacently and said, "Director Yang, I don't know what kind of relative of Comrade Su this old lady is. She has been hanging around here since work started this afternoon and won't leave."
When Yang Baoguo heard this, his face immediately darkened: "Xiao Su, what's going on? Why do you bring your relatives to work?"
Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly explained: "Director Yang, listen to me, this grandma came here to buy something, but she just can't think of what to buy. I'll let her rest here for a while and think about it slowly."
Yang Baoguo looked up at the old lady sitting on the stool, leisurely holding a glass of water. For some reason, he always felt that the old lady's eyes were a little sharp.
But this outfit...
He calmed himself down and said, "People from the Municipal Commerce Bureau will be here to inspect soon. Get them out of here quickly. Otherwise, if they see us, our department store will be in big trouble."
Su Xiaoxiao didn't understand: "Grandma is just here to buy things normally, how could it affect the inspection?"
Yang Baoguo glanced at her and said, "People come to inspect us to see the work of our waiters and the environment of the store. It will have a bad influence if you let a poor old lady here."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a cold snort in his ear: "I have never heard of such a saying."
Yang Baoguo frowned and looked over, not expecting that the person who spoke was the old woman in tattered clothes.
His face immediately fell. As the sales manager of a department store, he had no right to be lectured by an old lady like her.
She immediately said unhappily: "What do you, a poor old lady, know? Hurry up and leave. If you affect our department store inspection, I will not forgive you."
The old lady was not to be outdone: "I haven't sold all my things yet, you have no right to let me go."
Yang Baoguo was so angry that he laughed: "I am the sales manager of a department store. I can let anyone go if I want."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Zhang's anxious voice came from the door: "Director Yang, hurry up, the leader of the Municipal Commerce Bureau is here."
As soon as he got the news, Yang Baoguo sent Xiao Zhang to keep watch at the door. When he heard that someone was coming, he immediately became nervous.
"All of you, be more enthusiastic for a while. And that Xiao Su, I don't care what method you use to get this old woman away quickly. Don't let the leaders see it."
Su Xiaoxiao glanced at the old lady and could only gently persuade her, "Grandma, why don't you go somewhere else to rest for a while? Come to me anytime you need to buy something."
The old lady then slowly stood up and said, "Okay, thank you, young comrade."
After saying that, he began to move slowly out. When Yang Baoguo turned around and saw this scene, his face turned green.
"Xiao Su, why is this old woman still here?"
