Chapter 607: No Business Acumen
Shi An sobbed softly and nodded with tears in his eyes.
"Let me see, does it hurt?"
Lu Miao adjusted his posture, pulled his pants down halfway, and gently patted his pink buttocks:
"Your task now is to study hard and grow up healthily."
"Uncle and aunt don't expect anything in return from you. Even if you want to repay them, you have to wait until you grow up... You don't need to take care of family matters now."
Knowing roughly what Lu Yuanzheng had told him, Lu Miao continued to instruct:
"From now on, whether you're going out to play or go somewhere with others, you must tell your family in advance. You're not allowed to sneak out like you did today."
Shi An nodded with tears in his eyes, and clumsily wiped away his tears with his sleeves:
"I know. I, I was wrong, auntie. I, I will never let you worry about me again. Don't be angry, auntie... Woo, burp—wow..." It hurt a little to be beaten.
But at the same time, because Lu Miao was angry with him for the first time, Zhou Shian vaguely realized the seriousness of the matter and was terrified.
As soon as Lu Miao softened his attitude, Zhou Shian couldn't help crying and started crying again.
In the past, Zhou Shian kept things to himself and never cried or made a fuss.
This time, crying out loud was a sign of completely accepting the person in front of her and integrating into the family in front of her.
Lu Miao knew this, so he just hugged him and patted him gently without saying anything else.
Allow him to cry out all the pent-up emotions from the past.
Children don't have as much energy as adults.
After crying for a while, Shi An began to yawn and doze off with his eyes closed.
Lu Miao adjusted his posture, held him in his arms and patted him gently.
When he fell asleep, I gently took off his coat.
Put him on the kang and boil some hot water.
I didn't stop until I had cleaned his black little face and hands.
The misunderstanding at home made everyone scared, but after this incident, Shi An became more friendly and comfortable at home.
Let’s talk about Guangzhou.
After Fu Jingyou finished washing up, he carefully checked and locked the door.
Draw the curtains and put the clothes containing the money under the pillow to rest.
The next morning, he got up early, washed up, and split the money into several parts.
He placed them on his body and in his bag before heading downstairs.
It was only half past six in the morning and the first bus had just left.
Thinking that Matou would have to wait for a while, Fu Jingyou had breakfast nearby and even took one back with him.
When he reached the street opposite the hotel, he saw Ma Tou sitting on the steps of the hotel waiting for him.
"Hemp head."
Fu Jingyou stood across the street and waved.
When Ma Tou saw him, he quickly stood up, looked at the road conditions, and jogged across the road.
"You're here so early, I thought you weren't awake yet!"
Fu Jingyou didn't say anything and handed him the breakfast.
"Thank you!"
Ma Tou took it without hesitation.
Today's main purpose is to accompany the big boss Fu Jingyou, so Ma Tou did not carry the goods out.
Feeling light without any burden, Ma Tou munched on a bun and walked in front, leading the way.
"Let's go to Gaudi Street first. It's closer."
"OK."
Car horns honked on the street, pedestrians streamed by, and the day's journey officially began.
Fu Jingyou and Ma Tou went to Gaudí Street first.
Unlike the wholesale building near the train station, Gaudi Street is a whole street and a bit like a deep alley.
On both sides of the not-so-wide street, there are stalls with tarpaulins and tables and chairs.
There are very few shops that are decent houses.
There is a lot of traffic and a lot of things for sale.
There are fruit vendors outside, and inside, in addition to clothes and fabrics, there are also many small industrial hardware items.
Such as lighters, various buttons, small beads, small accessories used in various places, etc.
Quite complete.
Then go to Shisanhang.
The situation over there feels like a combination of Gaudi Street and the railway station wholesale building.
Whatever is available at the train station and Gaudi Street, can also be found at Shisanhang.
Because there are many reputable foreign companies here, the goods in Thirteen Hongs are also relatively high-end.
In addition, there is also a business section that makes shoes and bags.
Fu Jingyou liked some things, but Matou reminded him that there were many state-owned departments nearby, and there was also a public security bureau next to it.
It’s okay for individuals to buy things, but it’s a bit risky for vendors to take goods.
Fu Jingyou nodded in understanding and only bought one or two of each item he liked, not more.
Ma Tou followed him all the way and didn't say anything when he saw him buying things for adults.
After all, those who have the spending power are adults.
Later, when he saw him buying those half-palm-sized children's shoes and socks, Ma Tou couldn't help but scratch his head and remind him:
"Children's things are only used for so-so things and are hard to sell. Besides, this kind of goods are expensive to buy, and even more expensive to buy individually. I can't sell them."
"Um."
Fu Jingyou nodded, standing outside the green glass cabinet of a shop on the first floor, taking out money as smoothly as ever:
"Do you have any adult-sized leather shoes like this? Bring me another pair."
"Yes, there are two styles. One has the same buckle as this one, and the other has a T-back buckle."
"Let's take a look at them all."
"Okay, wait a moment, I'll get it."
The young comrade at the counter quickly brought two shoe boxes.
Fu Jingyou opened the shoes and tried them on. He found that the leather was good and the soles were soft, so he didn't feel tired when wearing them.
These were the two styles the salesperson mentioned. Fu Jingyou looked at them and thought they were pretty much the same. He couldn't tell which one looked better or not.
He held the shoe in his hand and looked at Matou, who was completely bewildered. He looked him up and down and asked in confusion:
"Look at me doing what?"
Fu Jingyou shook his head and pushed the two pairs of shoes along the glass counter.
"Please help me pack it all up."
"Do you want both large and small sizes?"
"Both."
"That's thirty-five dollars."
Fu Jingyou counted the money and handed it over.
Ma Tou, who was watching from the side, sighed, thinking that Fu Jingyou had no business sense at all.
Not to mention that children's products are hard to sell.
Adult stuff is too expensive and no one buys it.
There are really not many working-class families in society.
Some families have seven or eight people or more.
People are willing to buy cheap and affordable things, and few people have so much spare money to spend.
Fu Jingyou acted like he had a plan in mind, and Matou didn't know what to say, so he could only continue to wander around with him.
I bought some miscellaneous things and it was getting late.
Fu Jingyou and Matou went to a nearby state-owned restaurant for dinner.
Fu Jingyou fulfilled his promise. When they were almost done with their meal, he took out a big unity note and pushed it across the table to Matou.
"What are you doing?"
Ma Tou was a little confused. He glanced at him, lowered his head and continued to eat.
Fu Jingyou said, "Thank you for your hard work these past two days. I'm almost familiar with the place now. Go ahead and do your own things tomorrow. You don't need to take time out to come here."
Ma Tou slowly stopped, looked at Da Tuanjie, and then at Fu Jingyou.
Shaking his head, Ma Tou pushed the money back to Fu Jingyou:
"We agreed on three days, and today is only the second day...Are you going to pick up the goods tomorrow?"
After going through several of the big guys who bought the goods and getting a rough idea of the price, Ma Tou felt that his guess was probably right, so he poked at the bowl of noodles and said,
"I have a lot of stuff to pick up and I'm in need of help. It's this time this morning. I'll come again tomorrow."
