Chapter 10 Whimsical
After leaving the clothing area, I bought a pack of cigarettes and a briefcase, pretending to be like Manager Yao.
Manager Liu, a fat man, was on the phone in his office. I walked in without disturbing him, but stood aside and waited patiently until he hung up the phone.
"What's up?"
I quickly handed over a cigarette. I don't smoke originally, but when it comes to sales, the topic can be naturally opened up when there is a cigarette. The smoke builds a bridge and the fire speaks, and the two people become closer in an instant.
"Hello, Manager Liu, I'd like to discuss a business deal."
While lighting his cigarette, I smiled, appearing respectful and sincere.
Manager Liu motioned for me to sit on the sofa.
"What business?"
"Fish, fresh fish, I have a lot of fresh fish that can be supplied to the mall, guaranteed to be available every day."
Manager Liu rolled his eyes and remained calm.
"Which one went to the fishing ground?"
"this……"
I was confused for a moment. There was no way I could tell him that my fish pond was in another dimension. People wouldn’t believe me even if I told him. Moreover, the beautiful messenger once told me to shut up.
I hesitated, my mind was racing, and I had to give my fishing ground a name.
“Special fishing ground.”
Finally I came up with a name.
"Never heard of it."
Manager Liu remained expressionless.
"Where is the location?"
"this……"
Go ahead! You really have to force me to say it!
"The location is in Shigou Village, 100 miles south of the city, our hometown."
"Oh, it's a small place. It's a newly opened fishing ground. I've never heard of it."
Manager Liu's eyes were narrowed, as if he wanted to see through my heart, and he didn't seem to trust my words.
"Yes! It's newly opened, just got it this year."
I had to crawl along the pole, otherwise he would ask too many questions and I would spill the beans.
“Has it passed the green certification?”
"Certification?"
This time I was really confused. I really didn’t understand the market situation here, so I relied on my passion to sell. I felt anxious and there were fine beads of sweat on my forehead.
None of this escaped Manager Liu's eyes.
"Young man, fish is something that people want to eat. I believe there is nothing wrong with your fish, but some inspections need to be done, and green certification must be obtained before our mall can purchase it. Otherwise, no matter how good your fish is, I will not
Dare to purchase. To tell you the truth, there are dozens of companies vying to supply me. After fierce competition, I only left three companies. Even those fisheries that were eliminated, their fish are quite good, some
We are local and some are from other provinces. I can’t buy everyone’s products. I must ensure consistent quality to attract repeat customers. Do I understand?”
"I understand! I understand!"
I nodded repeatedly. In fact, I didn't understand, but I understood what he meant, and he had no intention of eating my fish.
In order to cover up my embarrassment, I handed over another cigarette, but Manager Liu's cigarette was still half-finished. I only took a puff of my own cigarette when lighting it up and never smoked it again.
Manager Liu refused my cigarette and we couldn't continue the conversation, so I had to leave.
When I returned to the street, I felt unhappy. When I came, I was excited, as if a fortune-teller was waving to me. When I left, I had no interest at all, with my head hanging down as if I had lost a battle.
Manager Liu's words hit me hard. All I could think about was that green certification. It seemed that without that thing, my fish, no matter how good it was, would not be able to sell. I could only do it in a small way to let small vendors like Big Beard.
Help me sell it.
I have to find out what this green certification is all about, but I don’t want to sell it at the Credibility Building. I guess other large shopping malls will also require this certification.
Passing by a bank, I deposited the remaining money in my bag into my card. It was really inconvenient to carry so much cash with me.
After leaving the bank, I saw the seed company next to it, so I went in to take a look.
The island is not suitable for growing crops now. I want to try growing some vegetables. I will plant a few first and see if they grow. If they grow, even if they cannot be sold, it will be convenient to keep them for myself.
I bought a small bag of cucumber seeds and left.
As I approached the gate of the construction site, I saw my attire and felt it was a bit too eye-catching. I dressed myself up like a manager to enter and leave the construction site, which was a bit nondescript for a small worker like me.
Just when I was about to find a restroom to change back into my old tank top and shorts, Bai Luoxue appeared.
She came out of the gate of the construction site. It was now 3:00 in the afternoon. She probably went to the construction site on business.
"Is this Xiao Chen? Why did you suddenly change your appearance? It has only been two or three hours since you finished lunch, and you have completely transformed?"
"Bai...Assistant Bai is ridiculous! This...he's on holiday without stopping work. He's going home to see his parents...you can't be disgraced. You can make your parents feel better by yourself."
I was a little panicked. I didn't know why. I was dressed like a dog right now. When I saw this beautiful woman, I almost stuttered and couldn't speak.
"Yes, yes! You should dress up. It turns out that Xiao Chen is a real talent! He got a haircut and changed his outfit. His appearance and temperament are so handsome and cool that it is beyond description! You are so obsessed.
How many little sisters are you pouring out?"
Bai Luoxue had a smile on her face and actually made a joke on me. I felt relaxed and stopped talking.
"As poor as we are, it's useless to charm many little sisters. We can't charm our Miss Bai!"
Bai Luoxue giggled, and the branches trembled, just like a flower blooming in front of me, which made me feel dizzy.
"You're wrong, you really fascinated me all of a sudden. I see you almost every day, and I have never found you so handsome. It seems that the saying that a man depends on his clothes and a horse depends on his saddle is still reasonable. I hope you will always
So handsome, I can feast my eyes on you."
My heart trembled. Whether she was deliberately complimenting me or making fun of me, anyway, I felt that she meant she liked her a little bit, at least it didn't make her annoying.
"Thank you very much for the compliment, Miss Bai. It's inappropriate for a small worker like me to dress like this all day long, don't you think so?"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Bai Luoxue smiled brightly, and with this laughter, the frustration I felt at Manager Liu's place immediately melted away.
"You are like a manager now. You can stop working as a small worker and become a manager! Only then will you be worthy of your temperament."
"With your good advice, I will try to be a manager. What kind of manager do you think is more suitable for me?"
Bai Luoxue could also tell that I was joking. She didn't make fun of me, but said:
"It doesn't matter what kind of manager you are, as long as you can do your own business and achieve success, you are a good manager."
"A manager like Boss Yao?"
I mentioned Yao Hongyuan and Manager Yao without thinking. I regretted it as soon as I said it. I saw Bai Luoxue's cheerful smile disappear instantly, leaving only a faint smile.
"It doesn't have to be like him. Every manager has his own characteristics. Okay, let's stop arguing with you and get down to business. Did Master Gao inform you? He asked you to stay and watch the construction site."
"not yet."
It seems that Master Gao really told Manager Yao about this. I have to thank him very much today.
"Then I will formally inform you that starting from tomorrow, you, Wang Changhai, Master Gao, and Uncle Liu at the door will be responsible for looking after the construction site, with you and Lao Wang as the main ones. This is what Manager Yao has decided. I just talked to Master Gao
I said it. Goodbye handsome guy!"
