Chapter 37 The One You Can't Provoke
The Foreign Trade Mall is different from the other five areas. The business hall is full of exquisitely decorated shops.
The store entrance was filled with discounted goods, and many people gathered there to pick and choose.
Not many people go to foreign trade malls at this time. Foreign trade goods are mostly shipped by ship or plane. Due to the time difference, the goods usually arrive late at night.
Retailers usually come in the early morning to buy goods.
At this point, most people are strolling around.
When it comes to customer groups, store owners have developed a keen eye. When you stand in front of them, they will know whether you are here to buy goods or just strolling around. When retailers sometimes replenish stocks, they also buy two or three items at a time, not thirty or forty or fifty items at a time.
The business hall is well lit.
The corridor was lit up as brightly as day.
Su Jiaojiao looked at her watch. There were still twenty minutes before departure. She quickened her pace to shop in the discount areas in front of the stores. It was not easy to come here, so she would buy anything that offered a good value for money.
When she was almost at the end of the corridor, she saw many small plush toys piled on the ground in front of a foreign trade toy store, but no one was interested in buying them.
These small toys are about 20 to 30 centimeters high and have cute shapes. There are white and tender little rabbits, fluffy yellow ducklings and chickens, and cute little bears in overalls... But almost half of these toys are wet.
Su Jiaojiao walked into the store and asked about the price. The owner, a short, fat, middle-aged man, replied without even looking up, "These toys fell into the water while being unloaded. It's 100 yuan for the whole package, no bargaining!"
One hundred yuan!
Su Jiaojiao's eyes lit up and she immediately went to the door to count. There were about fifty of them, and on average one was less than two yuan. If they were sold in the snack street, ten or eight yuan each would not be a problem.
When doing business, just make money.
It doesn't matter what you sell.
"Boss, I want them all." Su Jiaojiao generously counted out a hundred yuan from her pocket and gave it to him. Such a good thing must not be missed. Just consider it as money for travel expenses. The middle-aged man took a look at the toys, took a breath, and seemed a little distressed. "Pack them up yourself and take them away!"
Su Jiaojiao excitedly asked the boss for a snakeskin bag and put all the toys in it.
There were just too many of them, and they couldn't even fit into a snakeskin bag. There were still five or six little rabbits left, and I couldn't squeeze them in no matter how hard I tried.
The toy store owner probably didn't make any money and was very stingy, insisting that he had no bags left.
Su Jiaojiao was speechless. She could only drag the snakeskin bag in one hand and hold the little rabbits in the other. Fortunately, the Foreign Trade Mall was not far from the parking lot, so she just got in the car. When she reached the door, the security guard standing at the door whispered, "Everyone, please don't linger at the door. The leader is coming to inspect."
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people walked in.
Su Jiaojiao leaned against the wall and dodged for a while, wanting to wait for them to pass before going out. However, her hands loosened and all the rabbits in her hands fell to the ground. She hurriedly bent down to pick them up, but accidentally touched the snakeskin bag, and the toys in the bag jumped out.
It just happened that it was spilled in front of the leaders who came to inspect... It was so embarrassing.
The group stopped and watched with varying expressions as the little girl in school uniform frantically picked up the toys. The more anxious she was, the more she couldn't finish picking them up. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, even the usually calm Su Jiaojiao broke out in a sweat. A slender, white hand reached out, holding a small bunny toy. She heard him say from above her head, "Don't worry, we'll help you pick them up."
"Thank you." Su Jiaojiao looked up and saw a familiar face, Lu Jingyou, the vice president of Jiahe Group and Qin Xiuming's cousin. Lu Jingyou was still dressed the same as in his previous life, a well-tailored black suit, a white shirt, a dark blue tie, and leather shoes that were polished enough to serve as mirrors. When their eyes met, there seemed to be a hint of smile in his eyes. The past came to her mind, and she looked away and continued to pick up toys.
Lu Jingyou was her competitor in her previous life, or to be more precise, the boss behind her competitor.
The means are tough and cruel.
He almost pushed her Yunran Cotton and Linen into a dead end... She still didn't understand why he wanted to kill her, a newbie in the industry.
Even though she had achieved great success in her previous life, she couldn't afford to offend this person.
When everyone heard this, they immediately stepped forward to help pick up the toys.
The security guard tactfully brought over a large snakeskin bag and put all the toys that everyone had picked up into it. He also considerately asked Su Jiaojiao, "Little girl, where is your car? I'll help you get it there."
"In the parking lot over there." Su Jiaojiao was in a hurry to leave and didn't refuse the security guard's enthusiasm. The security guard picked up the snakeskin bag and walked towards the parking lot. Su Jiaojiao followed him closely, thanking him repeatedly, "Thank you so much, you've worked so hard!"
"Mr. Lu, let's continue." The person in charge of the Mocheng Clothing Wholesale Market was not affected by the previous incident. He stood by and said respectfully, "Our foreign trade mall was newly built three years ago. It has a construction area of 47,000 square meters. It is also our comprehensive service area. It mainly deals in foreign trade products, so it is separate from the other five areas."
Lu Jingyou nodded slightly and walked forward with his long legs.
Inadvertently, he looked back at the receding figure, as if thinking about something.
When the group came out of the Foreign Trade Mall, it was already dark.
Assistant Xiao Wang trotted forward and whispered, "Boss Lu, the man I photographed in Area A is indeed him. He said his name is Qin Xiuming."
"Where is he now?" Lu Jingyou asked.
"I've locked him up in the conference room," Xiao Wang replied. "Would you like to go see him?"
"No need, let him go back!" Lu Jingyou mused, "Just tell the truth to the old man."
"Yes." Xiao Wang trotted away.
Qin Xiuming was inexplicably brought into an empty meeting room.
No matter how loud he shouted, no one paid any attention.
He watched as it grew darker outside, becoming increasingly anxious. He was so angry that he kicked the door repeatedly: "If you let me out, I will sue you for illegal imprisonment."
About half an hour later, footsteps were heard outside. A young man in a security uniform unlocked the door and walked in: "You can go out now."
"Why did you lock me up?" Qin Xiuming was furious. He grabbed the security guard's shoulder and said, "Go away! I want to see your leader. I want to sue you."
"I'm sorry, I don't know anything." The security guard was at a loss for words after being yelled at by the equally young Qin Xiuming. He said innocently, "Just call the police. Someone I don't know gave me the key and asked me to come open the door. I told them the same thing when I got to the police station."
Qin Xiuming then let him go and walked out in a rage.
Wu Laoshi was getting impatient. It was already half past seven and the departure time had long passed, but Qin Xiuming still hadn't returned.
Sister Wang, Sister Tang, and Su Jiaojiao had already been waiting in the car. They couldn't just leave him alone on such a long journey.
"Let's split up and look for it!" Wu Laoshi glanced out the window and said to the three of them, "In half an hour, whether you find it or not, you must come back on time."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Xiuming opened the car door and got in with a gloomy face.
"Qin Xiuming, where have you been?" Wu Laoshi and Sister Tang and Sister Wang asked in unison.
"I'm lost." Qin Xiuming's eyes fell on Su Jiaojiao. Su Jiaojiao lowered her head to look through the English dictionary without saying a word. Wu Laoshi and Sister Tang and Sister Wang said in unison, "How could you get lost?"
"I'm sorry, I'm really lost." Qin Xiuming forced a smile, "Let's go back quickly!"
"Don't run around anymore, kid. Otherwise, I won't be able to explain to your mother." Wu Laoshi started the car, slowly drove out of the parking lot, merged into the traffic, and disappeared into the night.
