The Friendship Store opens at nine o'clock, and the two of them arrived around the same time.
There weren't many customers yet when the store opened, so Su Wantang wasn't in a hurry. She consulted with Manager Xu Dong, briefly reported today's plans, and borrowed a loudspeaker, along with a long table and benches.
Around 11 o'clock, a number of people began to arrive at the Friendship Store.
Su Wantang shouted into the loudspeaker: "Want to become whiter? Whiter than tofu? Come to the third floor now, get whiter for free, or we'll give you a big sum of money."
As soon as the horn blared, Xu Dong's ears twitched three times, and he vaguely regretted agreeing to Su Wantang's reckless behavior.
But then I thought, since it's only going to happen this once, I might as well just let it go.
Most importantly, Su Wantang is a humble and unassuming woman, so he was happy to do her a favor.
Years later, whenever Xu Dong thinks about his decision today, he wakes up in the middle of the night surrounded by RMB banknotes, hugs his wife, and kisses her hard twice.
Xu Dong's wife initially understood, but then she kicked him off the bed, saying, "Don't act crazy in the middle of the night and force me to 'abuse' you!"
Friendship Store is indeed a high-end store, but its love for joining in the fun is in its very nature, not to mention its association with beauty, freebies, and giving away large sums of money.
Everyone remained calm on the surface, but their feet unconsciously began to climb the stairs.
Within minutes, a crowd had gathered in front of the counter that Xu Dong had specially reserved for Su Wantang.
They craned their necks, their eyes fixed curiously on the bottles and jars on the table.
One of them said, "Really? Is there really such a good thing? You're not kidding me, are you?"
Su Wantang invoked Xu Dong's name: "How could that be? It's just my opinion. The manager here isn't my dad, how could he allow me to act recklessly?"
"That's true."
Su Wantang began introducing the products: "Ladies, I have two kinds of whitening creams here. One is a whitening cream that takes effect slowly and requires long-term use. It costs five yuan a bottle."
Everyone frowned slightly, but remained relatively calm. Then Su Wantang continued, "There is another type, which is the Jade Face Cream that has short-term effects. A bottle costs fifty yuan."
Gasps of shock filled the air.
"Are you robbing me? How can you be so heartless? Aren't you afraid your children will be born without an anus?"
Su Wantang's expression changed, and Wen Wanqing said without any politeness: "My grandson will definitely be healthy, but your asshole is in the front, it stinks."
That was a rather sophisticated insult, and the person didn't immediately catch it.
It wasn't until I heard the laughter and hushed conversations around me that I belatedly realized what was happening.
She has no anus, only a mouth—isn't that a roundabout way of insulting her for having a foul mouth?!
Enraged, the man spat out a curse, then put his hands on his hips and let out a loud fart.
Su Wantang's gaze suddenly fell on a figure, and she changed the words she was about to say. She said coldly, "I advise you to think twice. If you dare to curse me, I will call the police and get you into the dark room right away."
The man paused for a moment, then rolled his eyes. Did she really think she was someone who could be easily intimidated?
"You slutty little whore, do you really think you own the police station? You think you can just arrest people whenever you want? If you're so capable, why don't you just fly to the moon?"
Su Wantang called out to the man who was half a shoulder taller than her at the back of the crowd, "Captain Fu, since you're already here, why don't you come out and give everyone a legal talk?"
Fu Jing was summoned by Su Wantang beforehand, originally intended to be a mascot to intimidate everyone, but unexpectedly, he actually came in handy.
Following Su Wantang's gaze, everyone saw Fu Jing in his police uniform and instinctively stepped back, making way for him.
The woman, who had been extremely arrogant and showed no fear whatsoever, collapsed to the ground the moment she saw Fu Jing.
Fu Jing's tone was slightly displeased: "Is this the important thing you mentioned?"
Su Wantang was completely unashamed and said confidently, "Captain Fu, this is also part of my pharmacy's business, and you have a responsibility to do so."
Fu Jing: "..."
"Stop!" Fu Jing called out to the woman who was trying to slip away while the two were chatting. "You're spreading rumors and slandering the reputation of a good comrade. Come with me to the police station."
"If they flee, their crime will be compounded."
As soon as she finished speaking, the woman stopped her starting position, bending her knees slightly and preparing to run, and stood up with her head down, looking utterly dejected.
Even if you go to the police station, they won't punish you severely. They'll just give you some ideological education. Su Wantang knows this, and Fu Jing knows it even better, but it's enough to deter others.
Fu Jing gave him a few more verbal warnings and was about to leave when Su Wantang called him back and handed him an exquisite bag.
Fu Jing looked at Su Wantang with a questioning look, his tone carrying a barely perceptible hint of caution: "Give it to me?"
"How could that be?" Su Wantang denied without the slightest hesitation. "It's for Aunt Gu, for whitening. I've written down the instructions. Can you give it to her for me?"
Fu Jing was slightly disappointed, but he didn't show it: "Oh."
Su Wantang suddenly realized that she seemed a bit unfair; asking for help and not giving a thank-you gift was indeed a bit unreasonable.
She politely asked, "Do you want some too?"
Fu Jing's eyes lit up noticeably: "Give it to me, I'll take it."
Su Wantang was at a loss for words.
It turns out that Captain Fu is quite vain in private...
She offered him Huai'an, but he refused, saying it would damage his masculinity. However, he wasn't dark-skinned, so Su Wantang didn't insist.
Captain Fu, on the other hand, looked like a tough guy, but... she was quite surprised.
After a moment of mental turmoil, Su Wantang quickly grabbed a bag, packed several bottles of whitening cream and jade-like cream, handed them to Fu Jing, and then continued her enthusiastic promotion.
"Don't worry, everyone. We are honest and trustworthy. You'll know how good our products are once you try them. In a little while, we will select ten lucky winners to use the Jade Face Cream worth fifty yuan for free. Just like we said before, if it's free, we won't give it away. We'll even give you a ten-yuan note."
"Really? Then I'll do it!"
...
Fu Jing's "thank you" was drowned out by the waves.
He withdrew his gaze and led his men away.
As he went downstairs, he unexpectedly ran into a young woman whose face was completely covered by a scarf. There was also an acquaintance standing next to her. This strange combination made Fu Jing take a second look.
Gu Nanzhi also sensed something, slowly turned around, and their eyes met. She slightly opened her mouth.
Was it him?
The blind date her dad had just shown her.
Gu Nanzhi's sticky gaze swept over him, and Fu Jing couldn't help but frown. He was annoyed by this burning gaze, especially since he had recently had a tail that he couldn't shake off.
He turned and left.
Gu Nanzhi also looked away. This man wasn't a policeman? What was he doing here?
But that's not important right now.
Gu Nanzhi looked down at the woman beside her and whispered, "Have you remembered everything I told you?"
"rest assured."
The woman raised her eyes, her weathered eyes filled with deep-seated hatred, mixed with the exhilaration of having achieved her goal.
Wen Wanqing, your retribution has come.
