Before the supply and marketing cooperative opened, Hua Li entered through the employee entrance and went to Fang Aihua's office to report for duty.
Because Luo Shicheng had asked Hua Li for leave beforehand, Fang Aihua knew that Hua Li would come today, but she was a little surprised to see the little tail following behind Hua Li.
However, at this time, the requirements for employees are not very strict. As long as they don't lose anything or affect sales, and occasionally bring their children to work, the leaders will usually turn a blind eye.
Before Hua Li could even finish explaining, Fang Aihua had already taken Luo Yan's hand and led her to the counter.
"Sister Liu took over Liu Jingqiu's position, so you will still be in charge of the tobacco counter."
After Fang Aihua finished speaking, she called to Liu Fengling, who was already standing in the children's clothing counter.
"Sister Liu, come over and hand over the reins to Hua Li."
Liu Fengling looked at Hua Li with a venomous gaze. She walked over, threw the notebook and keys she was holding onto the counter, and pointed her nose at Hua Li.
See for yourself.
They both have secure jobs; she can't drive Hua Li away, and Hua Li can't do anything to her. Even if she's rude, she'll accept it if Fang Aihua says a few words to her, but she can't let Hua Li have an easy time.
Fang Aihua knew, of course, why Liu Fengling was so hostile to Hua Li. To avoid escalating the conflict, she didn't mention Liu Fengling, but spoke to Hua Li instead.
"Take a good look at it yourself, and ask your colleagues if you don't understand."
Whether they tell you or not depends on your character.
Fang Aihua returned to her office, leaving Hua Li and Luo Yan standing in front of the counter.
Hua Li was quite apprehensive about the unfamiliar environment, but the thought of having a stable income every month and her baby no longer having to go hungry filled her with energy.
The tobacco counter is a row of wooden display cases against the wall, with a wooden frame with a glass counter in front, and a 50-centimeter-wide aisle in the middle, with wooden planks on the floor.
Hua Li led Luo Yan inside and saw a small stool in the corner. She let Luo Yan sit down and rest, while she picked up a notebook and opened it.
The first page of the notebook listed the prices of various brands of tobacco, as well as the prices of leaf tobacco sold by the kilogram, higher-grade tobacco shreds, and cigarette paper sold by the stack. Hua Li read it carefully.
Luo Yan stood by and watched Hua Li intently reading the notebook. She waited a while, but Hua Li was still reading. She waited a while longer, but Hua Li was still reading.
If you don't check the inventory and just blindly look at the selling price, are you just waiting to be ripped off?
Luo Yan was extremely anxious.
After thinking for a moment, Luo Yan tiptoed to grab the key on the counter, pretending that she hadn't held it properly and it fell to the ground.
Hearing the noise, Hua Li finally looked up from her notebook.
Bending down to pick up the key, Hua Li remembered to unlock all the locked counters, and then started looking at the notebook again.
"No, isn't it obvious?" Luo Yan put her hand to her forehead.
Seeing the cigarettes in the counter, Luo Yan's eyes lit up, and she reached her finger under the counter to count them.
"Relying on the three kindnesses... relying on the three kindnesses..."
Check the inventory, otherwise you'll have to pay for it yourself if you make a mistake, and then you'll be crying endlessly.
Hua Li listened to Luo Yan counting, flipped through a few pages, and saw that the inventory records were checked every six days. She then flipped to last night's records, which showed that the inventory was counted.
Hua Li realized the problem and began to check the quantity of each type of cigarette.
By this time, the supply and marketing cooperative had opened its doors, and customers poured in. The food section was the most crowded, while the tobacco section was a bit better, but there were still customers buying some.
Hua Li has an excellent memory and remembers the prices almost perfectly. He sold two boxes of Daqianmen cigarettes, ten boxes of Qinjian cigarettes, seven boxes of Fengshou cigarettes, one box of Moju cigarettes, two boxes of Guangrong cigarettes, two jin of leaf cigarettes, half a jin of tobacco shreds, and eighteen stacks of cigarette paper.
Fortunately, Hua Li was good at learning by analogy. She would write down everything she sold, including the quantity and time of each item, and then check the inventory again when there were no more customers.
Because there weren't many tobacco varieties, the inventory was quickly tallied up, and they found that two packs of Daqianmen cigarettes, half a pound of tobacco shreds, and three stacks of cigarette paper were missing.
Hua Li immediately locked the cabinet door and went upstairs to find Fang Aihua.
Fang Aihua went downstairs and counted the goods again with Hua Li. She then looked at Hua Li's sales records and found no signs of alteration.
Xiao Yanru, who sells bulk liquor next door, is a long-time employee. She noticed Hua Li when he started taking inventory. She saw Hua Li bring Fang Aihua over and said something fair.
“I was watching Comrade Hua Li sell her goods the whole time, and there were no problems. It was exactly as she remembered.”
Xiao Yanru is a veteran employee and can multitask while selling goods, which Fang Aihua has great faith in.
Fang Aihua called to Liu Fengling, "Sister Liu, come here for a moment."
Liu Fengling took advantage of Hua Li's inexperience, thinking she was a newcomer who didn't know anything about inventory. But then, the clueless Hua Li, who only knew how to read a notebook and remember prices, suddenly started counting the inventory, and Liu Fengling's heart jumped into her throat.
Hearing Fang Aihua call her, Liu Fengling, who had just sold a set of children's clothes, slowly walked over.
"What is it?" Liu Fengling frowned, looking impatient.
Hua Li produced the inventory records.
"Sister Liu, I asked Director Fang. You were in charge of the tobacco business until yesterday, but there are some items missing from the inventory. Could you check if there are any items that I missed checking?"
Liu Fengling took the notebook and pretended to flip through it, then suddenly slapped her forehead.
"Oh dear, look at my memory! My husband is coming to see the kids, and I took some cigarettes with me last night, intending to pay for them when I finished get off work and handed in the accounts, but I forgot about them."
As she spoke, Liu Fengling pointed to the cabinet door below the display case.
"Look, isn't there a brown paper bag inside?"
Hua Li opened the cabinet door and found a brown paper bag in the innermost corner.
As soon as Liu Fengling saw the brown paper bag, she smiled and said, "Yes, yes, this is it. I'll give you the money as a way of supporting your performance today."
How could this person have the nerve to say that? Luo Yan rolled her eyes.
Hua Li was honest but not stupid; how could she not see through Liu Fengling's intentions?
Hua Li opened the brown paper bag with a cold face. Inside were exactly the few missing items. She took the money handed to her by Liu Fengling and said to Fang Aihua.
"This time the inventory is correct."
Fang Aihua knew perfectly well what was going on, but she pretended not to know and nodded with a smile.
"This is also a reminder to you all. You must be serious about your work in the future. You can't be careless about either official or personal matters. Otherwise, if a problem arises, you'll end up losing money even after working hard from dawn till dusk. It's not worth it."
Hua Li smiled and agreed, while Liu Fengling pursed her lips, picked up the brown paper bag, and walked back to the children's clothing counter.
After Fang Aihua left, Hua Li squatted down and kissed Luo Yan's little face repeatedly.
"My sweet baby, you are truly my little lucky star."
If Luo Yan hadn't been playful and knocked over the keys, then started counting cigarette boxes from the counter, she probably would have been tricked by Liu Fengling today.
Losing money is a minor issue; if your boss suspects you of dishonesty or incompetence, you could very well lose your job.
Luo Yan stood with her hands on her hips, looking arrogant. "I'm here to protect my mother. How can I let such a villain succeed?"
