Chapter 1
The next morning, Jiang Qi got up early, which was rare for him.
After Jiang Qi got up, he found that there was no movement in Huang Fugui's room. He guessed that he was probably playing with his phone until late at night again, so he didn't call him. He left ten yuan on the dining table for him to buy breakfast, and went to the express cabinet at the entrance of the community to pick up the package.
The package that arrived was a set of three bedding sets. When Jiang Qi went downstairs, he opened the system panel and took a look.
After a night of fermentation, both popularity and satisfaction increased to varying degrees.
Popularity increased from 9 to 41, and satisfaction increased from 3 to 8.
The extra 5 points of satisfaction were undoubtedly contributed by Zhou Yuan and her group. Jiang Qi also expected that none of the six junior high school students were satisfied. From their conversation when they came out yesterday, Jiang Qi could tell that it was good that they had no objections. The reason they came out laughing was because they were young and easy to fool.
Jiang Qi had already experienced how easy it was to fool students when his store went bankrupt before.
Jiang Qi is satisfied with this increase, and estimates that the popularity will reach 100 in a few days. But satisfaction is a bit difficult to brush, one carrot one pit, can not be brushed repeatedly on the same customer, must be 100 different customers are satisfied.
With the current customer flow, we won’t even have 100 customers if we don’t spend a little money on publicity.
Jiang Qi was thinking about how many flyers to print and where to distribute them while he was walking back with the express delivery.
On the way, Jiang Qi passed by a steamed bun shop and thought the meat buns bought by high school students were delicious, so he bought a few and ate them while walking. Before he reached the door of the unit, he ran into Jiang Xiaohong who came to deliver dumplings.
Looking at Jiang Xiaohong, who was wearing a bright red dress and holding a large iron basin full of dumplings, Jiang Qi secretly said in his heart that something was wrong.
He didn't expect Jiang Xiaohong to bring him dumplings again so soon.
Old John could fool him by saying that he is a university teacher and is staying for a few days, but how could Huang Fugui be fooled?
Could it be that the newly hired employee hasn’t rented a house yet so is staying at home for two days?
It seems to work.
Jiang Xiaohong was very surprised to see Jiang Qi, and she was also a little relieved: "Xiao Qi got up so early today!"
Jiang Qi showed an honest smile that met the elders' expectations, and said, "The store has been busy recently. We hired a new clerk the day before yesterday, and the out-of-town employee is renting a house. I get tired when there are too many things to do. I go to bed early at night and get up early in the morning."
Of course, Jiang Qi's early bedtime this night was not without reason. He basically got home after midnight these days, which did not meet the definition of going to bed early by his elders.
Jiang Xiaohong was so happy to hear Jiang Qi's words that she smiled brightly. As she walked into the unit, she said, "That's right. If you have something to do in the store, your life and work schedule will be regular. You kids stay up late every day, don't sleep at night, and don't get up in the morning. You have nothing to do. If you were like me, there would be a lot of things to do as soon as I opened my eyes every day. How could I sleep until noon and get up?"
Jiang Qi nodded in agreement and went upstairs while thinking about how to lure Huang Fugui out.
Then Jiang Xiaohong took the initiative to say, "The new clerk you hired is looking for a place to live. You should help him out. It's not easy for young people these days. Your sister's store closes down every few months. You should remind her to find a new employer in advance."
As they were about to reach the door, Jiang Qi quickly said, "Not a young man."
"What do you mean they are not young people?" Jiang Xiaohong didn't react.
Then the door opened.
It was probably that Huang Fugui heard Jiang Qi's voice in the room, so he took the initiative to open the door.
Jiang Xiaohong was confused.
Jiang Qi hurriedly introduced.
When Huang Fugui heard that Jiang Xiaohong was Jiang Qi's sister-in-law, he immediately became much more enthusiastic. He quickly took the basin from Jiang Xiaohong's hand and welcomed her into the house, which was in stark contrast to the first time he met Liu Lan when he just smiled.
After spending two days with Huang Fugui, Jiang Qi began to figure out what was going on.
Huang Fugui is very receptive to new things. He cuts his hair whenever he wants, uses his cell phone very much, and has learned to stay up late without any instruction. But he is still an ancient person at heart, and his memory is not very complete. His wife was originally an ancient person who worked as a maid in a wealthy family.
Jiang Qi felt that Huang Fugui now defined himself as a servant.
Jiang Qi takes care of his food, clothing, housing and transportation. Huang Fugui is Jiang Qi's card. Now he works for Jiang Qi for free and occasionally gets some pocket money. Isn't this just like a prostitute servant in ancient times?
This also explains why Huang Fugui was much more enthusiastic when he met Jiang Xiaohong for the first time than when he met Liu Lan for the first time.
Jiang Qi was thinking about how to make Huang Fugui change his mindset and become a pure unpaid worker, but Huang Fugui had already started chatting with Jiang Xiaohong.
Huang Fugui stayed up late for two days playing with his phone, but it was not without gain. At least he made up his identity background in great detail.
His wife works away from home and can't come home all year round. He was also busy with work in the early years and couldn't take care of his son. The money he earned was only enough for food and drink. He felt very sorry for his son. Fortunately, his son worked hard and did well in school. His biggest wish in life was that his son could get into a good university. Now his son is in high school, which is a critical time. Unfortunately, the theater troupe closed down. The family is short of money and has no choice but to go out and find a job.
Jiang Xiaohong, who also had a son in high school, had also been poor, and had to work from dawn to dusk to earn little money and could hardly see her family, felt the same way and her eyes became moist.
By the time Jiang Qi reacted, Huang Fugui had even made up which county he was from.
Jiang Qi took out his cell phone to check. This county was quite far away from Xun City. There used to be a theater troupe there, but it also went bankrupt. However, it did not go bankrupt at the beginning of this year, but six years ago.
Huang Fugui’s phone was not used in vain!
Jiang Qi was hesitating whether to stop the conversation, but Huang Fugui changed the subject and started praising Jiang Qi.
The previous unsatisfactory life was all to highlight the brilliance of Jiang Qi's humanity.
"Boss Xiao Jiang is a good man. I don't have much education or work experience. I have been in the troupe for so many years and I can only perform a few things. I even learned how to recruit jobs online a while ago."
"I have submitted many resumes, but some people either disliked my low education or thought I was not suitable for the job since I was over 40 years old. I didn't expect to be hired for this script-killing DM job at first. I saw online that this job was done by young people, so I wanted to give it a try. I didn't expect that Boss Xiao Jiang didn't dislike me at all. Not only was he willing to hire me, he also helped me find a cheap house. Seeing that I didn't have much money, he even advanced my salary so that I could buy things and pay the rent. If this happened in ancient times, Boss Xiao Jiang would definitely be a kind-hearted country gentleman." Huang Fugui said sincerely.
Jiang Xiaohong nodded with satisfaction, looking contented.
Jiang Qi was stunned and said embarrassedly, "It's not as exaggerated as Uncle Huang said."
I'm really sorry.
Jiang Xiaohong thought Jiang Qi was just being polite. She pulled Huang Fugui aside and said some words of condolence, asking him not to worry. After comforting him, she pulled Jiang Qi into the room.
As soon as the door was closed, Jiang Qi knew that his aunt wanted to tell him something in private.
"Xiao Qi." After listening to Huang Fugui's long string of words today, Jiang Xiaohong looked at Jiang Qi with different eyes. Her face was full of the expression "The child I watched grow up since childhood has grown up."
Jiang Xiaohong paused, and all her words turned into one sentence: "This time I must talk about your sister!"
Jiang Qi: ???
Ms. Jiang Bing, this is really an out-of-the-blue pot.
"She must change her unruly temper. She opened her own store, but she can't keep it going and she doesn't want to face the reality, so she threw it to you, and you have to spend money to help her run it. I know that you have been sensible, obedient and enthusiastic since you were a child, but you have to help others within your ability. Your sister's script-killing store is probably going to go bankrupt soon, right? How many months of rent are there? You don't have any income, where will the money come from to pay the employees?"
Jiang Qi: ...
This time I really didn’t make any money. You may not believe it, but I made 1,388 just yesterday.
"You must be out of money now, right? Come, I'll give you some pocket money. I'll call your dad and your sister when I get home. How can you pay for your help? I'll have to talk to her this time!"
Then Jiang Xiaohong transferred 2,000 yuan to Jiang Qi.
Jiang Qi:!!!
Jiang Qi thinks that Ms. Jiang Bing should take the blame for a while, and if it doesn't work out, he can give her 500.
Jiang Xiaohong also reminded Jiang Qi a few words like "Don't be too honest in life, and don't be too honest in business, all businessmen are dishonest. Just because Huang Fugui is an honest man doesn't mean that all people are honest. Don't be so open-hearted to others in the future and don't bring everyone home."
After instructing Jiang Qi for about ten minutes, Jiang Xiaohong looked at her phone and saw that it was already seven forty. If she didn't go to the market now, she would not be able to get the freshest meat.
"By the way, half of the dumplings I brought today are filled with garlic. Teacher Yue likes garlic-filled dumplings! I made them especially for him. Xiaoqi, remember to bring them to Teacher Yue later." Jiang Xiaohong gave her final instructions and left.
Before leaving, he did not forget to say goodbye to Huang Fugui.
After Jiang Xiaohong left, Jiang Qi looked at the 2,000 yuan in his WeChat balance and thought that it didn't matter if Huang Fugui didn't have an ID card, he could support himself by being a liar.
"How is it? Your aunt didn't notice anything unusual, right?" Huang Fugui asked.
"Not at all." Jiang Qi looked at Huang Fugui with only amazement in his eyes, "Uncle Huang, I didn't expect you to be so good at fooling people."
Better than myself.
Jiang Qi has been able to maintain the image of an honest child in the hearts of his elders over the years. In addition to the fact that Jiang Bing's image as an unreliable and dishonest brother has been deeply rooted in people's hearts over the years, Jiang Qi's ability to make up lies and deceive people is also indispensable.
Now I have met my match.
Huang Fugui smiled naively: "I can't help it. I've been a peddler for so many years. Although I don't have much memory of being a peddler, my skills are still there. All businessmen are dishonest, and being good at talking is a basic skill."
Looking at Huang Fugui's honest smile, Jiang Qi felt that he still had a lot to learn.
