Rebirth 1994: Starting from laid-off workers

Early the next morning, the couple split up.

Ye Xiumei took the remaining money and called her two best friends and went straight to the store on Huancheng Road.

After last night's heavy rain, the streets looked particularly clean, and the stone pavement reflected the pedestrians like a mirror.

Today is not the weekend, the commercial street is a little deserted, and some businesses have just opened their doors.

As soon as the three people arrived at the door of the store, the reception girl warmly welcomed them in.

Li Shaomei was taking stock of the goods and hurriedly came over to hold Ye Xiumei's arm.

"Xiu Mei, you're here. I thought it would take a few days. Here is the list of sales for these two days. Just reduce the money later!"

Ye Xiumei asked her two best friends to take inventory and settle accounts, and she walked upstairs, looking at the layout of the room, thinking about how to divide the layout in the future.

Li Shaomei came over and gave her a bottle of drink and said, "Xiumei, what line of work do you plan to do?"

This is not a trade secret. Ye Xiumei told her directly that she planned to specialize in women's clothing customization in the future.

Li Shaomei said in surprise, "The quality of life is getting better and better. This kind of high-end clothing is the trend of the future. I didn't expect you to see far ahead. If I hadn't been in debt, I would also want to do this!"

Ye Xiumei chuckled and said, "Are you studying fashion design?"

"Well, I learned it abroad. Unfortunately, I have been working in sales since I came back. The things I usually design are a bit flashy, and I don't have the nerve to show them to embarrass myself!"

Li Shaomei said with a hint of embarrassment on her face and changed the topic.

"Since you want to make customization, you have to hurry up. The season will change soon. If you wait any longer, you will miss this autumn!"

Ye Xiumei shook her head helplessly and said, "I think so too, but the house still needs to be renovated, and my husband has arranged for the whole family to go on a trip. We can only wait until we get back. The worst thing to do is start with winter clothes!"

Li Shaomei was shocked, "Wouldn't it take a long time? It would be a waste to just let this house sit idle. Why don't we sell those goods first during this period!"

Ye Xiumei noticed something strange, took her hand and asked softly, "Those people haven't dared to harass you in the past two days, have they?"

Li Shaomei smiled and shook her head, "How dare they bring trouble to my aunt?"

Ye Xiumei burst into laughter, "You still made fun of me, if I had known better then I shouldn't have interfered with your business!"

"I don't dare, I don't dare, I don't dare to make fun of my savior. The little girl has no way to repay her and I wanted to give her my life, but, you are also a woman! Hahaha!"

Li Shaomei felt very comfortable chatting with Ye Xiumei. She made a rare joke and laughed along with her.

Ye Xiumei said, "No one dares to press for debts now. Are you still planning to go abroad?"

Li Shaomei smiled bitterly and said, "Going abroad was just an excuse. Firstly, I have no backing, secondly, no capital, and thirdly, no ability. If I really go abroad, it might not be as good as at home!"

Ye Xiumei nodded and said, "That's just right. If you don't have any other arrangements, I think you can still take care of the store during my trip, and take care of Sister Wang and Sister Liu by the way. How about the salary..."

Li Shaomei interrupted her, "I don't want the salary, just give me 5.00% of the turnover. There is no one who knows the products in this store better than me. Maybe all the goods will be sold out when you come back!"

In fact, Ye Xiumei was optimistic about Li Shaomei's professional ability and wanted to recruit her to join the business. However, he had not made a decision yet, so he planned to let her continue the business for a while and observe it by the way.

When we return from the trip and both parties are interested, we can discuss it again.

Ye Xiumei immediately agreed. After taking inventory of the goods, she also settled the fees, and then went through the industrial and commercial transfer and other procedures.

After everything was done, this popular shop on Jinjie changed its surname to Ye!

At this moment, by the moat not far away, under the shade of secluded green willow trees, there was a smooth stone table that was rubbed by tourists.

Zhang Jiaqiang sat on the stone bench next to the table, watching the rippling waves of the river in front of him without saying a word.

He was waiting for someone, and his mood was complicated and heavy.

If he didn't have to and he was sure of winning, he would never do such a thing in public.

There were footsteps approaching from far away, and Zhang Jiaqiang followed the sound.

I saw an old man wearing a moon-white Tang suit, walking slowly along the shade of green trees.

His steps were staggering, as if he were wearing heavy shackles, and his body was a little stooped, as if he was in his twilight years.

Zhang Jiaqiang was stunned when he saw the appearance of the visitor. Director Liu Da, who once scolded Fang Qiu in a high-spirited manner, turned into a dying old man.

When he got closer, Director Liu Da saw that it was Zhang Jiaqiang in front of him, and he was stunned.

"It's you, it's you. I didn't expect it. I thought about anyone, but I didn't think about you!"

Director Liu sat down on the stone bench, breathing heavily, his eyes full of resentment.

"People cannot be judged by their appearance, and sea water cannot be measured. It turns out that this little laid-off worker has so much energy and courage. Old man, I am convinced. Let me tell you, how can I let my family go?"

Zhang Jiaqiang rolled his eyes at him, "Don't get me wrong, I'm not a kidnapper here to make terms, I'm just a kind-hearted person who happens to know the news!"

Director Liu Da chuckled, "It's all the same. I've seen through it all. All kidnappers and good-hearted people are all the same. They only have one word for profit in their minds!"

Zhang Jiaqiang said, "Others can say this, but you really don't deserve it!"

Director Liu was inexplicably angry and said sternly, "You alone are worthy of accusing me?"

Zhang Jiaqiang looked at his innocent yet upright face and wished he could slap him hard.

Extending his veined palm, Zhang Jiaqiang sneered.

"I slapped Director Yin just because he misappropriated the life-saving money of more than 100 laid-off workers. Do the math for yourself. How many people have you harmed? How many slaps do you deserve?"

Director Liu Da's breathing was stagnant and he lowered his head subconsciously.

"I, I have no choice but to do it!"

Zhang Jiaqiang patted the stone table gently, "Don't use those excuses to cover up your shamelessness, which makes me look down on you. If you act openly, you might be able to win some face in the end!"

At this time, a painting boat slowly passed by on the river, and Director Liu suddenly saw a few familiar faces on the boat.

He stood up suddenly and chased forward, but his way was blocked by the river. He could only watch the ripples left by the boat as it went away.

"Okay, I promise you!"

He slowly groped around on his body, took out a small cloth bag, put it on the stone table and said.

"The things in here are what you want, but I advise you, just take a look at these things, don't hand them over, otherwise, otherwise, hehe!"

Zhang Jiaqiang touched it and felt that it looked like several audio tapes and some papers. Now he didn't know whether it was true or false, so he had to put it away first.

Seeing the package being taken away, Director Liu breathed a sigh of relief.

"If I were you, I wouldn't even look at these things. It would be safer to just throw them into the water!"

Zhang Jiaqiang stood up slowly, "I'll take the things away, but you have to do one more thing!"

"What?" Director Liu Da stood up tremblingly, holding on to the willow tree.

"Surfer yourself immediately, this matter will be considered complete!"

The muscles on Director Liu's face spasmed and twitched, and then he threw his head back and laughed.

"What about my family? You have to make sure no harm comes to your family, you have to make sure!"

Zhang Jiaqiang said expressionlessly, "How many people have you harmed, but you don't even know it? It's up to you to decide how your family is doing. I have no right to decide anything!"

Director Liu smiled bitterly, took out a few more vouchers from his arms, and stuffed them into Zhang Jiaqiang's hands.

"This is a cashier's check for 1000 million U.S. dollars. Use this money to do something for those who were cheated. This is the only way I can atone for my sins. Remember, no harm is done to your family, no harm to your family!"

Zhang Jiaqiang realized something and was about to reach out to grab him.

But the old man was as nimble as a rabbit. He suddenly jumped out a few meters and plunged into the river. As the waves surged, he kept shouting in the river that it was not a disaster for his family, and he gradually sank!
