"Comrade, I've finally found you!"
As Qin Yu was taking Xia Lan to the shop, a woman rushed towards him in a flurry of activity.
Xia Lan raised an eyebrow and immediately stood in front of Qin Yu.
Who are you?
Xia Lan looked at the woman in front of her, her gaze fixed on Qin Yu's face. Xia Lan remembered what Qin Jun had said yesterday about the mentally ill person Qin Yu had rescued; this must be the woman in front of her.
"Comrade, it's me. Don't you remember me?"
The girl ignored Xia Lan and stared straight at Qin Yu, asking a question.
That infatuated look was the most extreme one Xia Lan had ever seen.
"I don't remember."
Xia Lan said indifferently.
"Lady, you've mistaken me for someone else. My husband has always been by my side; he's never left my side."
Xia Lan nudged the woman, signaling her to clear her head.
"Isn't he?"
"How could that be? It's his face, I remember it very clearly."
The woman frowned, glanced at Xia Lan, and then at Qin Yu, who remained silent.
"My husband isn't a soldier, how could he be there?"
Xia Lan glanced at the woman and said seriously.
"Besides, he was with me the whole day yesterday, you must have mistaken him for someone else, right?"
Xia Lan's serious demeanor made the woman doubt her own memory.
Is...is that so?
"Could it be that I really made a mistake?"
"But I clearly remember it was his face..."
The woman looked doubtful.
"You must have misremembered. Besides, we all saw the newspapers; you were both on the verge of death at the time. You must have misremembered."
After Xia Lan finished speaking to the woman, the woman apologized to them.
"I'm so sorry, I must have mistaken you for someone else. I'm really sorry to have bothered you."
After the woman wisely left, Xia Lan glanced at Qin Yu with amusement.
Why aren't you saying anything?
Xia Lan looked at Qin Yu, who was pretending to be mute.
"I'm content just having you."
Qin Yu chuckled. With Xia Lan there, he believed she could definitely do it.
If he were to speak, he would be more likely to expose himself.
After the woman left, she couldn't help but turn back. Xia Lan took Qin Yu's hand and walked away without giving her a second chance to look at her.
After Xia Lan left with Qin Yu, the woman wanted to confirm and chased after them, but stopped after running a couple of steps.
In the end, he still left.
After Qin Yu escorted Xia Lan to the store, Xia Lan grabbed Qin Yu's collar.
"This will not be repeated."
"I'd rather die than save you next time."
Qin Yu immediately replied.
"You win."
Xia Lan pinched Qin Yu's cheek, kissed him, and then let him leave.
Qin Yu chuckled, never underestimate a woman's jealousy.
It hurts quite a bit!
As soon as Xia Lan's shop opened, Aunt Caihua and Aunt Cuihua arrived, and then the girls followed.
"Sister, we're here to buy clothes today."
Apart from the girl who wanted Xia Lan to make her look better, the other girls were there with their friends to buy new dresses.
"Then you can see for yourselves, and call Sister Cuihua and Sister Caihua if you need anything."
Xia Lan smiled at them and said that she was helping a girl choose clothes.
Okay~
The girls were overjoyed. Xia Lan had new clothes every week, and every time they came, the clothes in the store felt different.
The constant sense of novelty keeps them coming back no matter how many times they visit.
Xia Lan gradually became known to people, and word spread that the clothes in Xia Lan's store were trendy, beautiful, and had new styles.
More and more people are willing to buy clothes at Xia Lan's store.
The same source of goods, the clothes in the mall, although they are all new, cause aesthetic fatigue and feel unoriginal because they are the same every day.
Gradually, fewer and fewer customers came.
This made matters worse for the already struggling online store.
"What...what's going on? Why aren't the clothes selling in the store?"
"Clothes used to be our best-selling item, but what about now? Even though they're all the same clothes, why can't you sell as many as Xia Lan's little shop?"
"Did you even properly introduce the clothes to the customers?"
"..."
The sales clerks, who had been scolded, pursed their lips. They had tried their best to introduce the clothes, but the customers just wouldn't buy them; what could they do?
Now they're blaming them. If they hadn't driven Xia Lan away, none of this would have happened.
Those who were scolded were indignant, and those who were reprimanding them were even angrier seeing them like that.
"How can this be blamed on us? They drove Comrade Xia Lan away themselves, and now that the shop is doing worse and worse, they're blaming us!"
"This is really getting more and more outrageous. I miss the days when Comrade Xia Lan was around, when our shop was never short of staff."
"I used to think it was because we did a good job, but now it seems that Comrade Xia Lan clearly has the right methods..."
"This job is getting harder and harder..."
People in the mall were talking about it. They were being scolded every few days, and nobody would be happy about that.
Although Xia Lan scolded them, she never withheld what was due, and they even received bonuses for good performance.
What are you all talking about?!
"..."
The people chatting dispersed in an instant.
Several leaders approached Xiao Guoqiang again, but he was looking at the newspaper in his hand and remained silent.
"Old Xiao, you can't just watch our shop go out of business, can you?"
"Go talk to Xia Lan! We're willing to accept any conditions, as long as she's willing to come back..."
