Chapter 333 The Man Who Sold Private Salt
When Song Wu Shao heard this, he touched Xu Miaomiao's nose, smiled at her, and the two looked at each other in silence.
A sleepless night.
Early in the morning, Xu Miaomiao and Song Weiwei rushed to the department store. Because this time it was Ling'er's and her health had improved a lot, Gu Yuanniang accompanied Xu Miaomiao.
The two children still went to school as usual, and Dabao was making good progress in his studies at Nangong Mansion. It seemed that everything was slowly moving in a good direction.
Xu Miaomiao was taking care of the business in the store. Perhaps because of the previous collaborations, the reputation of the department store had gradually improved.
Xu Miaomiao finally showed a hint of joy between her brows.
Xuguo also became much more diligent. He would walk around the department store with things in his hand every day, and would rush forward to solicit customers as soon as they came. This was very different from the cold and heartless look he had when Xu Miaomiao bought him.
Xu Miaomiao was also happy to see the change in him.
Perhaps because of opening a shop, Xu Miaomiao met many different kinds of people, including passing customers, young ladies from wealthy families, and women who, like her, had ambitions in their hearts but did not dare to do it.
Although running a shop is a way to make money, Xu Miaomiao has now discovered the true meaning of opening a shop, which is to get to know the people in this world and see how others live.
When Xu Miaomiao saw these people, she felt emotional, so she specially prepared a booklet. Every time she met those special people in the store, she would write down their appearance and what they had experienced. She could record everything she had heard and seen since she came to this world.
While Xu Miaomiao was writing the contents of the book, she was observing the customers coming and going in the store.
The next moment, three burly men walked in aggressively. Just when Xu Miaomiao was about to write down the appearance of the three men, she felt mixed emotions in her heart. She slowly raised her head and saw the three men sneaking around the store.
They ignored Xuguo's greeting, waved their hands, spat, and turned away.
Seeing this, Xu Miaomiao felt that something bad was going to happen. She looked at Xuguo and immediately said, "Close the store quickly."
Xu Guo was a little confused when she heard this request. She immediately walked forward, looked at Xu Miaomiao and said, "Sister Xu, it's noon now. I'm afraid there will be more people coming in the afternoon than in the morning. Why do you want to close the store at this time? Aren't we losing so many customers in vain?"
Seeing this, Xu Miaomiao did not explain to him further, but looked at him seriously: "Close the store quickly."
Seeing Xu Miaomiao's serious expression, Gu Yuanniang did not dare to be vague and immediately urged Xuguo to speak: "Xuguo, there must be a reason for doing this. You should close the store first."
Xuguo then immediately went to close the shop and drove away the customers.
Xu Miaomiao immediately smiled and said to everyone: "I really have something to do today. Come back tomorrow and I will give you some food for free."
After hearing this, everyone smiled happily, forgave Xu Miaomiao, and then turned and left.
After everyone had left, Xu Miaomiao said to everyone with a serious look, "Immediately check all the places they have been to, and make sure there are no mistakes."
Seeing that Xu Miaomiao's expression was very serious, Xuguo did not dare to delay and immediately started searching around the store with Song Weiwei.
Gu Yuanniang was a little confused when she saw them like this. She came over and said, "Miao Miao, what happened? Why are you so nervous?"
Xu Miaomiao then looked up at Gu Yuanniang and said, "Sixth Mother, did you see those people just now?"
"I see. A big, strong man would actually come to our department store. It seems that the reputation of our department store has really improved."
Gu Yuanniang said this while still looking at Xu Miaomiao with some pride: "Even people like this can come to patronize us. I guess our department store must be known to both the elderly and children."
Although Xu Miaomiao also hoped that it was as Gu Yuanniang said, in the end, things did not go as she wished. Xu Miaomiao looked at Gu Yuanniang and said seriously: "Those people are obviously not here to buy things. They came in sneakily. I'm afraid they may have hidden bad things in our store."
"What a bad thing!"
When Gu Yuanniang heard this, her expression changed immediately. She looked at Xu Miaomiao in shock. The next moment Xu Guo came with a bag of oil paper, which contained something unknown, and handed it towards Xu Miaomiao.
“I just don’t know what this thing is, but Sister Gu, you put it here.”
Gu Yuanniang shook her head, and immediately walked forward to take the oil paper. Just as she was about to open it, Xu Miaomiao's pupils contracted. She immediately pulled Gu Yuanniang over and said, "This thing has an unknown origin. You should step back first and let me open it and take a look."
As Xu Miaomiao's hand gently placed on the oil paper, everyone became nervous.
Seeing Xu Miaomiao opening the pieces of oil paper and seeing a pile of white crystals inside, he froze in place. Gu Yuanniang was still a little puzzled when she saw his expression and immediately walked up to him: "Miaomiao, what's wrong? What happened?"
Just after taking a step further, Gu Yuanniang saw what was inside, which turned out to be some salt.
Gu Yuanniang saw Xu Miaomiao, but was still a little confused.
"Why did you leave this salt here? Do you think our food is not salty enough? So you use this method to teach us a lesson."
Song Weiwei, who was standing by, thought of this possibility and immediately stepped forward and spoke.
Xu Miaomiao sighed helplessly, tapped Sun Weiwei's head gently, and said, "How could it be that simple? If it is true, just tell us directly. And do you think they are afraid of offending people? If they do this, they must have already planned it and sent us salt."
Xuguo was still confused when he heard this and looked at Xu Miaomiao.
Seeing that they were silent and looked at her instead, Xu Miaomiao continued, "Those people are probably the ones who bought the private salt before."
Hearing Xu Miaomiao say this, everyone suddenly became nervous and looked at her and said, "Could it be that they have already set their sights on me?"
Xu Miaomiao nodded: "Last time you reported all those people who sold illegal salt, but inevitably there were some who slipped through the net. I believe those people are their relatives, friends or accomplices who are targeting us. Our future will not be easy. I am afraid that today is also a lesson they have given us."
