Chapter 339: 327 To Each Their Own (One More Update)_2
Ye Cheng glanced at Buzz Cut and then said something to the ticket checker at the door, who nodded and handed his pen to Ye Cheng.
Ye Cheng stood at the entrance, alone, towering above the average person. His striking appearance made the incoming and outgoing customers take a few extra glances.
Buzz Cut had been waiting in line for a while, and it was finally his turn.
He came over with the biscuits and the ticket in his hand.
"Brother, hello, let me mark your ticket," Ye Cheng politely stopped him.
Buzz Cut naturally handed over the ticket, and Ye Cheng lightly marked it and returned it, "Welcome to visit us again."
Another ticket checker came to replace Ye Cheng and accidentally bumped into Buzz Cut, instinctively apologizing, "Sorry, sorry."
Perhaps due to the heaviness in his arms, as soon as Buzz Cut loosened his grip, two bars of soap fell out.
These were two bars of branded soap from Haicheng.
Ye Cheng picked up the soaps from the ground, re-examined the ticket, and asked politely, "Brother, it seems like you haven’t paid for these soaps yet, why don’t you go and pay for them first?"
Buzz Cut thought that no one had noticed his actions since this was a self-service supermarket with no salespeople following you around. You could take whatever you wanted, and sneaking one or two things out usually went undetected.
Unexpectedly, he hadn’t even left the supermarket before they discovered him. He wondered how they trained to have such keen observational skills. It seemed as if the staff had x-ray vision, able to detect if customers were taking extra items or hiding something with just a glance.
"Oh yes, I forgot to pay for these two bars of soap. I’ll go pay now," Buzz Cut realized that the other party hadn’t made a big fuss and was merely preserving the dignity of both parties. As long as he proactively paid, the matter would be resolved peacefully.
Ye Cheng watched him go to pay and said nothing more.
Buzz Cut’s attempt failed, and he reluctantly paid for the items and waited outside for his boss.
Seeing his boss come out with lots of bags, Buzz Cut felt uneasy, wondering if everything was for free, as they had agreed only to take a look around.
Fen Lou came out with the bags, got his ticket checked, and headed straight to Xiaofeng, "Sister, there’s a prize drawing here, right?"
Xiaofeng glanced at his ticket, which showed a significant expenditure, "Yes, big brother, you can draw six times. Go ahead, grab six marbles."
Xiaofeng moved the box closer to Fen Lou, signaling him to draw.
"Whatever I grab is what I win, right?" Fen Lou set aside his bags and drew six marbles, "Sister, from your accent, it seems like you’re from Xijiang County. Where is your boss from? Also from there?"
"Yes," Xiaofeng of course wouldn’t say that she was the boss herself, "Our boss is also from Xijiang County. Big brother, you’re quite lucky, three packs of laundry detergent, and a bar of soap."
The odds of winning a prize were 100 percent, but the probability of winning a big prize had to be controlled because they needed to manage costs.
"I just bought several packs of laundry detergent. Now I can wash clothes for half a year," Fen Lou looked at Xiaofeng, "My home is nearby. Could you send someone to help me deliver these? I bought too much to carry all at once."
"Big brother, it’s very busy here today, and we can’t spare anyone to help you. However, you can leave your things here, and come back later to pick them up," Today, they didn’t have the manpower to help others.
"That’s fine." Fen Lou placed half his things near Xiaofeng and walked away with the rest.
...
Buzz Cut watched his boss come out, and in a place where nobody could see, caught up with him, "Boss, why did you buy so much?"
"Can’t help it, there were so many varieties inside, I just couldn’t stop once I started buying," Fen Lou laughed at himself, "How about you? How good is their security?"
"Like they have x-ray vision," Buzz Cut felt it was incredibly mysterious, "They discovered me even before I left the door. I had no choice but to go and pay."
"It seems, this young lady indeed has some management skills," Fen Lou felt that it was certainly not a spur-of-the-moment action on their part.
"That is true, boss. Why didn’t you call me to help you carry it?" Old Gan didn’t understand.
"You don’t understand, people become familiar with each other after a few interactions. I left the stuff at her place and planned to pick it up later when there are fewer people around. Isn’t that a chance to chat a bit? Familiarity grows from repeated visits."
"You businessmen really are indescribable," Old Gan shook his head, "Are we still opening our department store?"
Not only did they open, but it seems that the business will not be bad.
If we open another one next to theirs, it’s uncertain whether we can do better than them.
Fen Lou just smiled, without saying a word.
...
By ten o’clock, the supermarket had already closed to the public, and the staff were inside organizing the shelves and cleaning the floors.
Xiaofeng placed an item a customer had left during the day on the service counter: "A middle-aged man said he would come back to pick it up, but he didn’t show up. If someone comes tomorrow, just give it to him."
"Okay," Xiaocui was tidying up the service counter.
"Everyone has been working hard all day. Let’s let everyone go home now. After the three-day event, we’ll distribute opening red envelopes." Xiaofeng glanced at today’s turnover. She could only see the number of transactions, but couldn’t yet tally what had specifically sold.
In some ways, this was a management flaw. They needed to have Fangzhou and Lele upgrade the system soon.
The turnover was still good. Today, only the first floor and the supermarket were open; the third floor’s Gourmet City and children’s amusement park would open later.
Given the limited time, the third floor required meticulous work and couldn’t be rushed.
...
"I asked you to arrange an accident for her child, and it’s been over a month. Why is Ye Cheng still showing up there, and why is her child still perfectly fine?" Xu Xuezi couldn’t understand how, with the capabilities of Men Chao and the Xu Family, they couldn’t handle a single woman.
She was just a powerless country girl; how could they not manage her?
"Young Lady, I’ve tried twice and failed both times." Men Chao was also puzzled; both accidents were real accidents, but they didn’t harm her at all.
The first time Master Gu was there, coming out unharmed was understandable.
But failing a second time was somewhat abnormal.
"Failed?" Xu Xuezi sneered, "You are the person my grandfather trusts the most, recognized as the most capable, and now you’re telling me you’ve failed."
"Young Lady, we have already failed twice. I don’t recommend a third attempt." Once might be an accident; twice might be a coincidence. What about three times?
For him, sacrificing the entire Xu Family for one woman was not worth it, and even Old Xu at home would surely not agree.
"Why can’t it be done?" Xu Xuezi couldn’t understand, "Ye Cheng can’t be with her all the time. As long as Ye Cheng is away, any day you could make a move. Or is it that the conditions I gave you aren’t motivating enough, so you don’t really want to help me?"
With Men Chao’s abilities, he couldn’t be incapable of handling a woman.
The biggest possibility was that Men Chao was waiting, waiting for her to throw out more favorable terms.
For a strategist, it’s all about the benefits. Only if the benefits are substantial will he be willing to shed blood for you.
Xu Xuezi yanked off her top, threw it aside, wrapped her slender arms around him, and delivered her burning lips directly to his, not allowing him to react in any way.
"I know what you are thinking. You just want to marry me and then take over the Xu Family," Xu Xuezi said with a hot breath against Men Chao’s face, her tone mocking, "You could just say it outright, there’s no need to play dumb with me. I want results, and all you need is a title."
A word for each: no need for pretense or gloom.
