Lin Mai and Ren Baozhu also left the store subsequently.
The two men divided into two groups, one went to make the signboard, and the other went to find Zheng Xudong and asked him to work overtime immediately to arrange for manpower to decorate the newly rented storefront.
Just paint the walls of the first-floor store white, lay ceramic tiles on the floor, and install a few fluorescent lamps on the ceiling. It can be done in a few hours.
The second floor is used as a warehouse and the night watchman's sleeping area. There is no need to decorate it, just clean it.
Zheng Xudong took action immediately after receiving the order.
Baohaochi branch and Unico branch are all under renovation, with ready-made paint and marble floor tiles, so the task can be completed in minutes.
Lin Mai then asked the human resources department to recruit five skilled workers who knew how to pickle vegetables, and then rode his bicycle to Fuduoduo Vegetable Market.
I took a big gift bag containing lunch meat, candies and biscuits and went to Liu Xue's work.
Liu Xue had not yet gone to work at that time, so Mai checked in at the concierge and went straight to her office.
But he didn't go in. He just stood at the door of the office and called Liu Xue's name.
When Liu Xue saw it was her, she immediately ran out happily.
The two people came to stand and talk under a big willow tree outside the office.
Liu Xue smiled and asked: "Why did you suddenly come to see me?"
Lin Mai handed her a big gift bag: "I got some imported lunch meat and candies and biscuits. I'll bring you some. You'll need them for entertaining guests during the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Liu Xue became even more happy and kept saying: "You are serious."
Lin Mai said a few polite words, then said goodbye and left, going to Fuduoduo Market again.
I took the remaining two gift bags, bought a lot of relatively rare fruits in Jiangcheng, and rode to my own Bao Hao Delicious snack bar.
The reason why she didn't take three big gift bags and buy fruits at once was because she was going to Liu Xue's place.
If she mistakenly thinks that those things are for her, both parties will be embarrassed.
When giving gifts, you also need to pay attention to details.
That's why Lin Mai got the three big gift packages in two installments.
Lin Mai handed a large gift bag to the deputy store manager for safekeeping and told him that a reporter named Niu Lili would come to pick it up tomorrow.
He also told the deputy store manager that if Niu Lili comes to eat in the store in the future, she will give her a free order.
The deputy store manager nodded, and then asked: "What if she brings friends to shop, do you want the order to be waived?"
Lin Mai thought for a while: "Let's get a 20% discount."
In the overt and covert fight with Guan Yonghua, Niu Lili contributed a lot. It doesn't matter if she is exempted from the bill, but there is no need to waive the bill for her friends.
She opened the store to make money, and she would get free orders whenever she saw people.
Lin Mai is not afraid that Niu Lili will be angry because of such a trivial matter. She is a very measured person, and she doesn't like to take advantage of others.
When it comes to taking advantage, among the young people Lin Mai has met, the one who loves taking advantage most is undoubtedly Lin Bei.
When the two sisters were in junior high school together, Lin Bei became good friends with many well-qualified boys and girls in the class because of her initiative, pure and delicate personality, and her subtle ambiguity and teasing.
She doesn't bother to take the initiative when conditions are poor.
But if people want to become good friends with her, she will accept them all. After all, it can increase her popularity.
It’s just that in my heart I look down on students from poor families, but my face feels like spring breeze.
There is a Zhou Papi in movies and TV series, and Lin Bei is Lin Papi in reality.
Zhou Papi is a bad person who is consistent with his appearance, but Lin Papi is a hypocritical person with different appearances.
Even though she speaks softly to everyone and is good at flirting, it makes you think that she is affectionate and righteous to you.
Then you are thinking too much. Every smile and every word she says to you is to get benefits from you. She will not let go even those classmates from poor families who want to be good friends with her.
One time, Lin Bei celebrated her birthday and deliberately made a scene in the class because she wanted her friends to give her gifts.
Her goal was achieved.
On her birthday, many friends gave her gifts worth more than three yuan, which was considered a large sum for a rural student.
Mainly because Lin Beitai knows how to package herself.
From her words, she revealed that her consumption was high and she didn't like low-end things at all.
In addition, she does not do farm work, so she has thin skin and white flesh, and she wears better clothes than ordinary girls.
The classmates all thought that her family was well off, so they didn't hesitate to give her birthday gifts.
But when it was her friend's turn to celebrate her birthday, some of her gifts in return were cut in half, and some were very shabby.
Some friends don't care about this because their family background is good.
But not everyone cares about it.
There was a girl named Jiuyue. When Lin Bei celebrated her birthday, she gave her a good pen worth three yuan.
When she celebrated her birthday in September, Lin Bei only sent her a blessing.
Although September has a good family background, he doesn’t care about gifts or not.
But Lin Bei looked so ugly when he was eating that she didn't like him at all, so she kicked Lin Bei out of her circle of friends.
There was also a boy who gave Lin Bei a tiara worth more than three yuan on her birthday.
When it was his turn to celebrate his birthday, Lin Bei gave him a simple pencil sharpener costing 30 cents.
When the boy saw how stingy she was, he looked down upon her and ridiculed her in front of the whole class.
Instead, Lin Bei said softly and sweetly that the boy didn't understand emotions, so it was interesting for her to return the gift like this.
The boy was so disgusted by her ugly appearance on the spot that he broke up with her.
Because of this incident, many classmates felt disgusted with Lin Bei, and everyone gradually alienated her.
At that time, Lin Mai, as Lin Bei's younger sister, was ashamed of her ugly eating appearance.
When Niu Lili thought of Lin Bei, Lin Mai admired his rich association.
She called Niu Lili from the store phone.
Tell her that she has prepared a small gift for her and put it in Bao Haochi Noodle Shop, so that she can take it away when she comes to Bao Haochi Noodle Shop for breakfast tomorrow.
Lin Mai also specifically explained why he didn't send a small gift to the newspaper office for her because he was afraid of having a negative impact on her.
Niu Lili laughed on the phone: "This time, that time.
I asked you not to contact me openly because I was afraid that Guan Yonghua would use this as an attack point and slander us as colluding with each other to deal with him.
But now the lawsuit has settled and the truth has come to light.
Now that we are in contact openly, he can't grab our pigtails.
If you want to see me in the future, feel free to come."
Lin Mai said hello on the phone, took the last big gift bag and a lot of fruit, and rode to the home of District Chief Ouyang.
District Chief Ouyang helped her a lot.
Although it is his job, the reborn Lin Mai repays kindness and revenge.
If people treat her well, she should express her gratitude.
Lin Mai went to the district government and found the home address of District Chief Ouyang that he had learned from a clerk.
The Civil Servant Community is different from the ordinary staff dormitories of the United Houses. It is the same as the staff dormitories of Puji Medical University. They are all public buildings with two stairs and one apartment.
District Chief Ouyang lives on the third floor.
Lin Mai held the gift in both hands and soon arrived at the gate of District Chief Ouyang.
She put the fruit on the ground and knocked on the door of Ouyang District Chief's house.
The door to District Chief Ouyang's house was not open yet, but the door to his house opened instead, and a middle-aged woman's head poked out.
The middle-aged woman stared at Lin Mai's gift furtively.
Lin Mai only glanced at her and let her see it openly.
It's just some fruit and food, it doesn't constitute a bribe.
Besides, District Chief Ouyang has never used his power to violate rules and disciplines for her personal gain, and Lin Mai is even less afraid of others' prying eyes.
At this time, District Mayor Ouyang's door opened, and a middle-aged woman with a kind face and good looks appeared in front of Lin Mai.
The middle-aged woman did not look at Lin Mai at first glance, but at the sneaky woman opposite.
The woman put on a fake smile and greeted the middle-aged woman: "We have a guest at home."
The middle-aged woman only responded lightly.
The woman retracted her head and closed the door.
The middle-aged woman asked Lin Mai kindly: "Little girl, who are you looking for?"
Lin Mai smiled and asked, "Excuse me, is this the home of District Chief Ouyang?"
Mrs. Ouyang nodded: "Yes, you are -"
Lin Mai introduced himself in a few words and explained his purpose.
Mrs. Ouyang invited her into the house very enthusiastically and said: "That is what District Chief Ouyang should do. It is also worthy of you bringing so many gifts to express your thanks."
Lin Mai saw that District Mayor Ouyang was not here, probably still busy working at the district government. There was only his wife and a young man at home.
From the moment she entered the room, the young man made no secret of his amazement towards her and kept staring at her passionately.
This made Lin Mai feel very uncomfortable. He exchanged greetings with District Chief Ouyang's wife, put down the gifts, and left.
The young man suddenly stood up and said to her, "I'll take you home."
Mrs. Ouyang's eyes turned to the young man and Lin Mai.
He smiled and said to Lin Mai: "This is my nephew. His name is Ouyang Rong. He is a freshman at the School of Water Transport Engineering."
Lin Mai secretly complained in his heart, it's not a blind date, why introduce it in such detail.
Mrs. Ouyang continued with a smile: "I don't mind letting Xiao Rong take you home. You are so beautiful. I'm afraid it won't be safe for you to go home alone."
Lin Mai was in a hurry and said: "No need, my boyfriend is waiting for me downstairs to go home together."
When the young man heard this, his disappointment was palpable, and Mrs. Ouyang also looked regretful.
Lin Mai hurried downstairs, got on his bicycle and left.
Little did he know that Ouyang Rong was standing in front of the window watching her leave alone, with a playful smile in his eyes.
He said to himself: "You obviously don't have a boyfriend, but you still dare to lie to me that I have one!"
