The next day, everyone got up early because there was something going on at the shop. Everyone was tired from the night before. Apart from Xu Lanzhi and Yindi, the two people involved, only Tang Qiqi knew about their unpleasant argument.
In fact, Yindi regretted it as soon as she ran back to her room. What kind of nonsense had she said to her mother? Before, when others used this matter to hurt her mother's feelings, Yindi only hated that she was too young to protect her mother. But in the end, she was even more of a scoundrel than those people!
But words spoken are like water spilled; Yindi knew there was no way to make up for it. She was genuinely afraid to go out and see Xu Lanzhi, but the flyers had already been distributed, and the three-day promotional event couldn't afford to fail.
According to yesterday's arrangement, Xu Lanzhi should be at the counter collecting payments with Yindi, as one person is not enough to handle the workload.

When Yindi cautiously approached the counter, she found her second aunt, Tang Xiahe, already busy there.
Yindi felt a pang of panic. Had her mother left because of her?
She hurried up and asked, "Second Aunt, where is my mother?"
While collecting the money, Tang Xiahe said, "Your mother said it was too noisy here and she couldn't stand it, so she went next door to help out. She asked me to keep an eye on things. Didn't your mother say you were too tired last night and would sleep a little longer? Why are you here so early?"
Yindi felt terrible. Her mother was so angry with her, yet she still made excuses for herself.
She didn't think she had time to feel guilty for long; there was a long line of people waiting to pay, and she had to get back to work immediately.
When it comes to accounting, the two of them are really not good at it, and Yindi is somewhat absent-minded, so the customers are complaining.
"Why are you taking so long? Where's that quick-handed guy from yesterday? Hurry up and get him here!"
Tang Xiahe chimed in, "Yes, Yindi, didn't Mr. Liu say he was coming today? Why haven't we seen him yet?"
Yindi said unhappily, "He's not coming." Then, somewhat annoyed, she added, "If you can't wait, don't buy it. Why rush me?"

"How can you talk like that, little girl? We came to your shop to buy things, not to beg for food. Why are you being so rude? We're leaving, we're not buying anything!"
"So slow and so aggressive, I'm not buying it anymore, I'm definitely not buying it!"
As the group in front started to leave, cursing, Tang Xiahe quickly said kindly, "Esteemed guests, this young girl is ignorant and offended you all. I apologize to you. Come, come, I'll settle the score for you!"
"You're so slow, it'll take forever to calculate. Forget it, I won't buy it. I can buy it anywhere!" one customer said rudely.
His commotion caused many people to clamor to leave, leaving Yindi helpless and anxious.
Suddenly, Liu Rufeng squeezed into the crowd and said, "Everyone, don't rush. It's just a bill. Line up and we'll let you pay and leave right away."
"Sir, you really aren't going to buy it? You'll regret it! In the entire Huaiyuan County, you won't find anything like this—the quality is so good, and the price is so low! There's nowhere else like it outside of here. If you're really leaving, I'll give it to this lady behind you!"
Upon hearing this, the man slammed his bags on the counter and shouted, "Hurry up and calculate, you're just wasting my time!"
Liu Rufeng took out his abacus and started calculating rapidly.
Yindi was still in a daze when Liu Rufeng reminded her, "Hurry up and get to work! How can we keep the guests waiting!"

Yindi then came to her senses and quickly got back to work.
With Liu Rufeng, a math whiz, the checkout process was much faster, and the long queues were gradually reduced.
Seeing that the two worked together so well, and realizing that she couldn't be of much help here, Tang Xiahe went outside to assist.
Xu Lanzhi was busy in the shop, but she didn't go to the counter or watch Erzhuzi and the others loading and unloading outside.
Yindi watched her mother bustling about from afar, wishing she could turn around and smile at her as usual, but her mother didn't look in her direction once.
Yindi felt particularly bad, but she didn't have the courage to talk to her mother. So, everyone was busy for another two days.
Because of the large scale of the promotion, everyone in Huaiyuan County knows about Tangji.
Liu Rufeng knew that Xu Lanzhi was not very satisfied with him, and Yindi had been absent-minded these past few days. After helping out, he wisely went back and did not shamelessly stay for dinner.
During the meal, everyone else chatted incessantly about the interesting things that happened that day, but Xu Lanzhi and Yindi were unusually quiet. Although everyone felt that something was wrong, they were overshadowed by the joy of the booming business and the fatigue of being busy, and no one pressed for details.
Tang Qiqi wanted to ease the tension between the two, but they both hurriedly ate a few bites and went back to their rooms, giving Tang Qiqi no chance at all.
Tang Qiqi also felt that since both sides were angry, there was no point in talking. However, Xu Lanzhi had been preoccupied lately, so she went to keep Xu Lanzhi company that evening.
Finally, the last night of the promotional event arrived, and many of those who had been hesitant before finally made their purchases before the price increase.
So by the time the shop was packed up that night, it was already late.
Liu Rufeng, as always, was very tactful. He greeted Yindi, bowed to Xu Lanzhi, and left.
Xu Lanzhi suddenly called out to him, "Mr. Liu, it's kind of you to work so hard with us until midnight. Please stay for a simple meal before you leave."
Liu Rufeng suspected that this was his own illusion. From the very first day, Xu Lanzhi had been indifferent to him and had always maintained a scrutinizing attitude. He was naive and knew that Madam Xu did not think highly of him.
Liu Rufeng wanted to stay, but he didn't keep his mouth shut and said, "There's nothing much going on at the shop right now, so I won't bother you any longer!"
Yindi glared at Liu Rufeng and muttered to herself, "What a coward!"
Xu Lanzhi said, "Please ask Mr. Liu to stay for a meal. I have a few words I'd like to say to you!"
Since Xu Lanzhi had said so, Liu Rufeng naturally had no reason to refuse. He politely replied, "Then I'll have to trouble you!"

"Mr. Liu has been helping out at the shop these past few days, so we should be thanking you. Don't be so polite!" Xu Lanzhi said calmly, her expression unreadable.
The more she acted this way, the more uncertain Yindi and Liu Rufeng felt, unsure of what awaited them.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was heavy. In order to win Liu Rufeng's favor, Tang Qiqi deliberately asked, "Second Sister, did we make a profit or a loss these past three days?"
Speaking of this, Yindi became a little happier. She said proudly, "Of course we made a profit. I originally thought that with all the freebies and discounts, we wouldn't make much money, but I didn't expect to make so much!"
Jiedi asked curiously, "So how much have you made these past few days? I've seen everything in our shop being emptied out!"
Yindi scratched her head and said, "Look at my memory, I just calculated it and I've already forgotten how much I earned?"
Liu Rufeng quickly replied, "After deducting the cost, we made a total of 1,862 taels!"
