Chapter 77 Selling Flashlights
Just now, a dozen flashlights that had just arrived at the department store were sold out, and several people who were almost there immediately quit.
They were clamoring for an explanation, and Huang Mei thought they were here to cause trouble, so she immediately frowned.
She just keeps making a fuss. She wants a flashlight herself but hasn't gotten it yet.
"We're not here to buy from you, it's none of your business."
The person who spoke was a middle-aged man. He pushed Huang Mei, who was in the way, out of the way and said, "Move aside. Don't delay me from buying a flashlight."
Then he squeezed in front of Su Xiaoxiao with a smile on his face and said, "Big sister, I want one too."
Su Xiaoxiao met the pairs of expectant eyes and said helplessly, "My cousin got me three of these flashlights a while ago. How about you guys take them on a first come, first served basis?"
When everyone heard there were only three, they immediately went crazy scrambling for them.
Soon the three flashlights were sold out. Su Xiaoxiao wrote down the address information of the three people and agreed to pay and receive the goods three days later.
Just as I was about to leave, I was stopped by a young female comrade.
Huang Mei looked at Su Xiaoxiao expectantly: "Comrade, I want a flashlight too. Can you help me ask for it?"
Upon hearing this, the people who were about to leave immediately gathered around again.
Someone recognized Huang Mei and immediately became unhappy: "Why are you, a salesperson, trying to snatch our flashlight?"
Huang Mei glared at him without showing any weakness: "What's wrong with the salesperson? Even the salesperson has to queue up if he wants to buy something."
Seeing that everyone was about to quarrel, Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly tried to smooth things over: "How about this, you register first, and if there is any, I will contact you."
When everyone heard that there was still a chance, they immediately stretched their necks to register their information.
Seeing that fifteen people had registered in just a short while, Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly called a halt: "My cousin can't get too many at once, so let's leave it at that for today. I have things to do, so I'll be leaving now."
After saying that, he hurriedly pulled Song Weidong and headed straight to the office area on the third floor.
I couldn't bear it any longer and ran. This flashlight was so popular.
As soon as I got upstairs, a middle-aged man stopped me and said, "Go downstairs to buy things. This is not a place for you. Go, go, go down quickly."
Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly said: "Hello, we are here to see Manager Xu from the Human Resources Department."
The middle-aged man saw her shabby appearance and looked at her with disdain: "Manager Xu, do you think you can see him whenever you want? Eight hundred people come to see him every day. I can't let them all in."
Su Xiaoxiao: "We really know Manager Xu. Look, do you know him?"
She pushed Song Weidong forward, thinking that her face was not working, but Song Weidong's face should be working, right?
Who knew that just as he finished speaking, he saw the middle-aged man looking at Song Weidong with disdain for a moment, his expression disgusted: "Go away, go away, I don't know you, get off quickly, this is not the place for you."
Recently, due to the department store recruitment, many people tried to get in through the back door under the pretext of knowing Manager Xu. Manager Xu specifically instructed that no matter who came to her, she would not let them in.
How could these two young men know Manager Xu when they are dressed so shabbily?
The man was convinced in his heart that the two men must have come to Manager Xu to get in through the back door again, and he immediately became more and more displeased with them.
Unexpectedly, just as he finished speaking, Xu Cuilan's voice came from behind him: "Weidong, Comrade Su, are you here?"
The middle-aged man's expression froze. He didn't expect that he had made a mistake. The other person actually knew the leader.
The expression on his face suddenly became a little awkward.
Xu Cuilan glanced at him and said, "I know these two people. Let them in."
After getting permission, Song Weidong and Su Xiaoxiao followed Xu Cuilan into the human resources manager's office.
As soon as she entered the door, Xu Cuilan set her eyes on Song Weidong.
"Weidong, Comrade Su's interview result was indeed replaced by someone else, but the other party's identity is a bit tricky. I'm afraid my level is not enough."
Song Weidong frowned when he heard this: "I'll go ask my dad for help."
His father is the director of a department store, so as long as he helps, there shouldn't be any problem.
Unexpectedly, just as Song Weidong was about to go to the director's office to look for someone, he was stopped by Xu Cuilan.
"I'm afraid your father isn't very good either. He's the deputy director of the Municipal Commerce Bureau..."
The Municipal Bureau of Commerce is the local administrative department for department stores.
Song Weidong's father is just the director of a department store. In terms of the superior-subordinate relationship, he belongs to someone else's subordinate department, which is really not very good.
Xu Cuilan thought about it and actively offered them advice: "Weidong, how about this? I'll add Comrade Su's name to the list, and we won't have to compete with him for the first place. He has such a strong background that we can't win even if we want to."
"How can this be? Su is clearly the first."
Song Weidong clenched his fists. No, he would never allow this to happen.
Su Xiaoxiao was very open-minded. Her ultimate goal was to be able to enter the department store, so it made no difference to her what place she ranked.
Seeing that Song Weidong was even more excited than her, she hurriedly pulled him back and said, "Mr. Song, as long as we can get into the department store, I don't care about the ranking."
As the saying goes, the tallest tree catches the most wind. Sometimes being too prominent is not necessarily a good thing.
Su Xiaoxiao was very satisfied with the result.
After thinking for a while, he took out a flashlight from his pocket and said, "Manager Xu, I'm sorry to bother you with this matter. This flashlight was brought back to me by my cousin from Shanghai. It's a small token of my appreciation. I hope you don't mind it."
Xu Cuilan didn't expect that Comrade Su would be so generous. The flashlight he bought was the most popular in the department store.
She has always wanted a flashlight, but in her position, with leaders watching over her and the public supervising her, it is difficult for her to abuse her power for personal gain.
"Thank you, Comrade Su."
Xu Cuilan took the flashlight and couldn't let it go. "If there are no problems, you can come to work tomorrow."
"I'll have to trouble Manager Xu to take care of me in the future."
Su Xiaoxiao exchanged a few polite words with her before pulling Song Weidong away.
On the way, Song Weidong had a gloomy face and was obviously in a bad mood.
"Student Su, aren't you angry that someone else took your grades?"
After holding it in for a long time, Song Weidong finally couldn't help but ask.
Su Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and said, "I am a little angry, but there is nothing I can do. I am just a country girl with no background. When your ability is not enough to support your ambition, you must restrain your edge and conserve your energy so that you can make great achievements."
Song Weidong didn't expect her to say that. He stared at her silently for a while before loosening his clenched fists: "I understand."
Su Xiaoxiao was a little confused. What did he understand?
In fact, she just said those words casually because she thought they were quite appropriate for the situation, but classmate Song seemed to take them seriously.
She coughed twice and was about to say something when she heard someone calling her name from behind.
