Chapter 28: Finding Trouble
But when she thought that Xu Xiaoyue was less educated than her, Zheng Jiaojiao felt that she was overthinking.
The sound of water in the bathroom stopped abruptly. Xu Xiaoyue wiped her hair and walked out slowly. She was humming a little tune and was in a very happy mood.
Zheng Jiaojiao endured for a long time, but finally couldn't hold it back anymore and asked, "How's the progress of the plan that Manager Yan asked you to make?"
"Planning document? She never mentioned it to me." Xu Xiaoyue was surprised. She looked at Zheng Jiaojiao with her almond-shaped eyes and asked, "What is this? How come I don't know it?"
"You don't know?" Zheng Jiaojiao narrowed her eyes and looked at Xu Xiaoyue's expression carefully. Seeing that the expression on her face did not seem to be a disguise, she felt secretly happy inexplicably.
It seems that Manager Yan only gave this important task to her, which may mean that Manager Yan values her more.
Thinking of this, Zheng Jiaojiao felt that her efforts these days to build good relationships with the people at the counter were not in vain.
Xu Xiaoyue stood at the counter and patted her shoulders.
Working in a state-owned supermarket is good in every way, except that you have to stand all the time, which is a bit overwhelming.
"Ningning, why did you bring us here?" The chattering of girls could be heard from the door.
Sun Ningning held Ruan Wei's hand, just smiled, raised an eyebrow and said: "You will know when you go in later."
Several female comrades from the art troupe were full of doubts and didn't know what tricks Sun Ningning was playing.
As soon as she walked in, Ruan Wei looked up and the first person she noticed was Xu Xiaoyue.
Her eyes were fixed on Xu Xiaoyue, and the jealousy in her heart spread like wild vines.
As the most beautiful girl in the art troupe, Ruan Wei has always been confident about her appearance and dress. In the art troupe, if there was a newcomer who was prettier than her, she would inevitably trip her up in secret and make the other person look bad.
After not seeing each other for a few days, Xu Xiaoyue was wearing an ordinary shirt, a silk scarf tied around her waist, and a formal long skirt that reached her ankles. The scarf outlined her waistline perfectly, and her black hair fell like a waterfall.
It is said that beauty lies in the skin, not in the bones, but I don’t know how Xu Xiaoyue was born to be this beautiful. From head to toe, every part of her is attractive.
Ruan Wei's gaze wandered back and forth on Xu Xiaoyue, and the displeasure in her eyes almost overflowed.
She looked around and didn't see the person she was thinking of. She couldn't tell whether she was disappointed or relieved.
She forced a smile on her face, walked forward, and said in a surprised tone: "Oh, isn't this Comrade Xu? What a coincidence, meeting you here."
As soon as a few good-looking female comrades entered the room, they attracted everyone's attention.
Gao Yuan recognized them. They were female comrades from a nearby art troupe. They often came to the supermarket every now and then, and occasionally they would generously buy a few pieces of clothes to take home.
She poked Zheng Jiaojiao with her hand and whispered, "Does Xu Xiaoyue know this group of people?"
Zheng Jiaojiao shook her head. She was also very curious.
Gao Yuan saw this and leaned closer to Zheng Jiaojiao's ear and said, "These people are our old customers. They are all wealthy and generous. Don't blame me for not reminding you. You were all recruited by Manager Yan at the same time. If your performance is too bad..."
Gao Yuan stopped talking at that point, and Zheng Jiaojiao's face turned ugly. She naturally understood this truth.
Sun Ningning looked up and down at Xu Xiaoyue and saw that she was still wearing the white shirt she bought here last time, but with a silk scarf around her waist as an embellishment.
Thinking of what happened that day, Sun Ningning's eyes became heavy.
Fortunately, she thought that there was some relationship between Yan Tuan and this woman that day. Now she has found out that Xu Xiaoyue is just an orphan.
"Comrade Xu, the style of your shirt is still so beautiful."
Ruan Wei's eyes followed Sun Ningning's words. Landing on it, "Is this shirt also sold here? The pattern is really fresh."
Sun Ningning recounted what happened that day with some exaggeration.
Ruan Wei rolled her eyes, looked at Gao Yuan and others beside her and asked, "Is Comrade Xu also working here?"
Before Gao Yuan could speak, Zheng Jiaojiao answered, "Sister Xiaoyue has only been here for a short time, so she is not very familiar with many things..."
She was only halfway through her words when Ruan Wei raised her hand to interrupt her.
"It just so happens that our art troupe is short of a top style for its recent performance, and the one you're wearing is a great choice."
"Comrade Xu, please give each of us a set based on the design of the one you're wearing, and make sure the pearls and patterns are different. You can do that, right?"
Xu Xiaoyue frowned, "How many exactly, and when do you need them?"
Ruan Wei raised her eyelids and glanced at her, "About 20 or 30 pieces, in three days."
"Three days? I definitely can't handle it all by myself..." Xu Xiaoyue said.
Ruan Wei smiled and covered her lips. "But I don't trust other people. What if each model looks different? Besides, I have to pay for the labor if I ask other people to do it."
"You work here, so I'm afraid this is part of your job. You can do it with just a few clicks of your fingers. We also support your business by taking so many clothes and pearls at once."
Having said that, if Xu Xiaoyue still didn't understand that this person was just trying to make fun of her, then she would have lived in vain.
"Comrade Ruan, I can't do that." Xu Xiaoyue refused bluntly without a smile in her eyes.
Sun Ningning next to her was stunned. She didn't expect Xu Xiaoyue to reject them.
Her tone was very unhappy, "Can't do it? How can you not do it when you work here? Believe it or not, I will complain to you."
"Oh, then go and file a complaint."
This time, even Ruan Wei was stunned.
She knew the cashiers in these state-owned supermarkets best. They were extremely attentive to people like them who had a little money.
What's more, if you complain to the higher authorities, the lightest punishment you'll receive is some ideological education, and the worst is that you may even lose your job.
Isn’t Xu Xiaoyue afraid of these?
If Xu Xiaoyue knew what Ruan Wei was thinking, she would probably just sneer. What they thought was a stable job was just a temporary job for her.
Besides, these people are not even willing to pay a little labor fee for making thirty pieces of clothing.
The atmosphere fell silent, and Zheng Jiaojiao ran up from behind.
"Calm down, ladies. I can do this, too. I string beads quickly and well."
"I guarantee you will receive it in three or four days."
Zheng Jiaojiao looked at Xu Xiaoyue as if she was a fool. It would be a waste not to take the business that came to her door.
Thirty pieces of clothing, not to mention other accessories like pearls, this is simply a fat sheep delivered to your doorstep.
If she can win, what else can Xu Xiaoyue use to compete with her?
"Can you do it?" Ruan Wei looked at the person who came out of nowhere.
"Yes, it will be done in three days. You can just come and get it then." Zheng Jiaojiao vowed.
"Okay, then you can do it first. I'll take a look at the finished product. If I'm satisfied, I'll pay you in one lump sum." Ruan Wei said nonchalantly, looking at Xu Xiaoyue beside her.
