Counterattack 1988

Chapter 405
After Wang Lin and Li Wenxiu finished talking on the phone, they raised their wrists to check the time. Knowing that Zhou Congee had already gone to work, he called the factory office of Shenfang Factory.

"Hi! Hello, this is the office of Shenfang No. [-] Factory. Where are you?"

Wang Lin laughed loudly and said, "Hi, may I ask if the most beautiful woman in your factory, Miss Zhou Porridge, is there?"

"Wang Lin? Zhou Porridge isn't here! She's not a girl either! The girl was married by Wang Lin!"

"Aren't you Zhou Congee?"

"You still ask if you know? Hmph!"

"Where do you think I am?"

"Bei Jin! There is no need to guess? Or did you go abroad?"

"Then guess again, who did I meet?"

"Who? A big star?"

"Haha, I met your uncle."

"No way? Beijin is so big, can you meet him?"

"It's true. I was looking for a store yesterday afternoon, and I happened to meet him. His house has a two-story building for sale on Wangfujing Street. I ate at his house last night! He has a son and a daughter. The son is called Wu Hai, the daughter is called Wu Yi. Your aunt is called Zhou Aimin. Am I right?"

"Hey! That's right! It's really my aunt's house! Hee, why did you go to my aunt's house to cheat for food and drink?"

"They are all too enthusiastic, and they must keep me for dinner. I am so blessed, I dare not resign! Is your going abroad settled?"

"It's settled!"

"Do you really want to leave? When will you leave?"

"Didn't you tell me to go? You probably think I'm an eyesore in front of you?"

Hearing that she dared to speak like this, Wang Lin knew that Ma Bo was not by her side, so he said flatly, "It's up to you to decide whether to go abroad or not. I just don't want to delay your future. After all, the opportunity is rare."

Zhou Congee suddenly said: "Wang Lin, it can be seen that you don't really love me!"

Wang Lin was startled: "Why do you say that?"

"I thought that to truly love someone is not to let go, not to leave! It is to try every means to stay by his side. After all, companionship is the longest confession of love. Day and night? However, without the company of day and night, how can there be a long-lasting relationship? Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, let alone distant lovers? No matter how deep the love is, how can it be worth the bedside? A poor wife? That's why you obviously don't like Li Wenxiu, but you can still have children with her, right?"

Wang Lin fell silent.

He had to admit that what Zhou Porridge said was really true.

Because normal people must cherish the people in front of them more.

A distant lover, no matter how beautiful, is like the moon in the water or a flower in the mirror.

Wang Lin tried his best to keep Shen Xue by his side, not giving her the chance to go abroad, because he couldn't bear her and didn't want to let her go.

As for Zhou Congee, when she wanted to go abroad, Wang Lin said that she didn't want to delay her future!

This stay and parting, the gap is very big!

Maybe Wang Lin knew it in his heart, because Shen Xue was emotional, while Zhou Porridge was rational.

Emotional people, once impulsive, do things regardless of the consequences.

Wang Lin had to keep her by his side, so she was bound by this relationship and would not leave easily.

But what Zhou Porridge wants to do, she has her own rational judgment, and she will not stay just because Wang Lin keeps her.

Just like the breakup between the two before, she was so decisive!

Unable to hear Wang Lin's response, Zhou Porridge said on the phone: "What's wrong with you? You stopped talking?"

"It's nothing. Do you want to come to Beijin? See your aunt?"

"For no reason, why should I visit my aunt?" Zhou Congee said, "I don't want them!"

"Hehe, you didn't come to see your aunt before you went abroad?"

"Well, you're right! Okay! Let me see if I have time! Aren't you busy with work? You've been on the phone for so long in broad daylight?"

"I miss you? If you are busy with work, then goodbye!"

Zhou Congee instantly had the urge to cry.

What a person says unintentionally is the truth, right?
Wang Lin didn't pay attention to what he said just now. After hanging up the phone, he went to work.

The people he brought over have already arranged things to do.

Today is Monday, Guo Lingling, Fang Hong, Liu Tai'an and others are going their own way.

Wu Dazhuang and Luo Wei returned to Shencheng.

Only Tian Xiaoqing was left beside Wang Lin.

He first went to complete the real estate transaction procedures with Wu Guoqiang.

Because Wu Guoqiang was Zhou Porridge's uncle, with this relationship, the transaction between Wang Lin and him became more natural and casual.

Wang Lin and Wu Guoqiang completed the transaction procedures, and after getting the store, they began to call for people to decorate it.

Wu Guoqiang kindly invited Wang Lin to his home as a guest.

Wang Lin said with a smile, there is still a lot of work to do, and I will go later.

Wu Guoqiang said that you must come, and then rode back on a broken bicycle.

After a busy day's work, Wang Lin took Tian Xiaoqing to find something delicious when he was free.

There are many restaurants in Beijin, and there are also many large restaurants, with eight major cuisines.

Wang Lin and Tian Xiaoqing walked into a restaurant, found a seat and ordered food.

Small restaurants usually buy tickets before changing meals.

In big restaurants, you usually order first and then pay.

Wang Lin looked at the menu, soft fried prawns 6.8 yuan, hibiscus chicken slices 4.75 yuan, roast duck 15 yuan a piece, shiitake mushroom slices 2.8 yuan, two taels of lotus leaf cakes for [-] cents each, rice for [-] cents for [-] tael, flower rolls Eight cents a tael.

Tian Xiaoqing said: "Don't order too much, just the two of us will eat."

"You must have a roast duck, right?" Wang Lin said with a smile, "When you come to Beijin, of course you must eat roast duck."

"It's enough to order only roast duck and some green vegetables."

"The price of green vegetables is almost catching up with the price of chicken."

"Then eat chicken!"

Wang Lin then ordered a roast duck, a piece of chicken, a prawn, and three bowls of rice.

Tian Xiaoqing said: "The living habits in the north are quite different from those in the south. I'm used to living in the south, but I always feel uncomfortable coming here."

"That's for sure." Wang Lindao, "How else can we say that one side supports the other side!"

After eating for a while, Wang Lin asked someone to pay the bill.

The waiter came over, looked at the plates and bowls on the table, and announced the names and prices of the dishes in a loud voice: "Soft fried prawns, one roast duck, sliced ​​chicken with hibiscus, three taels of rice, six yuan, eight, fifteen One, four, seventy-five cents, one cent, twenty-seven and fifty-five cents!"

Wang Lin took out thirty yuan and handed it to him.

The clerk bent down and took the money: "I charge you thirty yuan, and I give you two yuan and forty-five cents. Please wait a moment!"

He turned and left with the money, and took the change after a while.

Tian Xiaoqing smiled and said, "The guys here are very interesting."

Wang Lindao: "This is called singing, receiving and singing, and it's unique to the Northern Grand Hotel! The waiter in the restaurant here must also have excellent mental arithmetic skills and a resonant voice."

Tian Xiaoqing said: "This is very good, there will be no mistakes."

Wang Lin nodded and asked, "Want to go shopping?"

"Okay!" Tian Xiaoqing said, "The last time we came, we didn't have time to go shopping."

The two came to a store.

Tian Xiaoqing took a fancy to a handkerchief, which cost thirty cents a piece. The color was beautiful and it was trimmed with gold.

She took out fifty cents and handed it to the salesperson.

The salesperson draws out a payment slip, stating the items, quantity, unit price and total amount, takes the banknotes, and clamps the documents and money on an iron clip in front of the counter, then grabs the iron clip and raises his arm to save money. With great strength, he threw the iron clip out, and saw the iron clip fly along the wire to the cash register with a "swish" sound, at an extremely fast speed.

The checkout counter of many stores is usually located in a corner of the lobby on each floor, and is much higher than the surrounding counters. The cashier sits on it and can see the situation in every corner of the store.

Wires radiating from the cash register to the surrounding counters, about as thick as bicycle steel wires, were polished and taut.

One or several iron clips are hung on each thick iron wire, and some iron clips are nailed to a small piece of wood. This is the cash register equipment at that time.

The salespersons of many cloth shops also use the bamboo ruler used to measure the cloth as a tool to hit the iron clip like a ball.While waiting for the change, the salesperson starts to pack and tie the cloth for the customer, and the cloth seller starts to measure and cut the cloth.

After a while, the iron clip came again with the sound of the wind, holding the receipt stamped with the receipt and the change money, even if it was a coin, it would not fall in the middle.

When Wang Lin was very young, he had seen this method of collecting money in state-run stores, but he never thought that there were still shopping malls in Beijin that kept this method of cashiering.

Being in such a shop, seeing the spider-like wires above the head, and watching the iron clips flying back and forth "swish", that is also a unique landscape.

The salesperson gave Tian Xiaoqing the twenty cents in change, together with the handkerchief.

The two walked out of the store, walked forward, and came to the department store.

Tian Xiaoqing said: "Shall we go to the department store? It's so lively here!"

"Okay." Wang Lin said with a smile, "This is the first large-scale department store retail mall in Beijin! It has the reputation of being the first store in China!"

Beijin City Department Store is a newly built department store after liberation. Its first floor is for daily necessities and household appliances, the second floor is for leather shoes, hats, and stationery, and the third floor is for fabrics and ready-made clothes. In 1989, a toy and entertainment shopping mall was added. Promoted to a national secondary enterprise.

Walking into the store, the first impression is that the store is so big and has all kinds of materials.

Wang Lin and Tian Xiaoqing wandered from the first floor to the second floor.

Tian Xiaoqing lingered in front of the shoe cabinet to buy a pair of shoes.

Pointing to a pair of leather shoes, Wang Lin said to the salesperson, "Comrade, please try on a pair of size 37."

Tian Xiaoqing smiled and said, "How do you know that I wear size 37 shoes?"

"I touched your feet! I already knew, okay?" Wang Lin looked at her and smiled.

The salesperson said: "This shows that your lover has a heart for you! It's not like the guy in my family, who has been married for seven or eight years, and he doesn't even know what shoe size I wear! When I see you two, you two are very affectionate!"

Wang Lin and Tian Xiaoqing looked at each other speechlessly.

The salesperson took the leather shoes and showed them to Tian Xiaoqing to try on.

Tian Xiaoqing wore it on her feet, looked left and right, and said with a smile: "It's pretty, it looks like my feet are so delicate."

The salesperson said: "Your script is not big, and your wife is very good at picking styles. This is our latest style. It is made by Beijin Leather Shoes Factory. It is genuine leather shoes and the quality is guaranteed!"

Just as Tian Xiaoqing wanted to ask how much it was, Wang Lin took out a hundred-yuan bill and handed it to the salesperson: "I bought it."

"You don't even ask how much it is?" Tian Xiaoqing sneered.

Wang Lindao: "It's only about thirty or forty yuan, how expensive can it be? Anyway, they can't bargain in this store! Buy it if you like it!"

There was a strange gleam in Tian Xiaoqing's eyes.

The salesperson smiled and said, "Comrade, you are right. Our shoes cost 38.6 yuan, and they are guaranteed to be genuine leather."

Wang Lin said: "Okay, I trust your store."

The salesperson issued a receipt, helped to buy the order, got back the change, took a bag, and packed Tian Xiaoqing's old shoes.

Tian Xiaoqing said: "Running outside every day is a waste of shoes."

Wang Lindao: "If it breaks, just buy it."

The two continued to walk.

Wang Lin came to the clothing counter to look at the styles and prices sold there, so as to compare them with his own products.

Because the clothing store he opened is near the department store, and this store will be the most competitive in the future.

After walking around, Wang Lin knew what was going on.

Many of the clothes sold in department stores are different from Xiuzhilin's!
And the price here is relatively expensive, and there is no bargaining.

Xiuzhilin's clothing is trendy in style and exquisite in fabrics, but the price has certain advantages.

Wang Lin believed that after his store opened, he would definitely beat the department store.

Tian Xiaoqing said: "Northern people's dressing habits are still a little different from those of southerners. Does your clothing store have to make some clothes that meet the aesthetics of northerners?"

"It's definitely needed." Wang Lin said, "Besides, it's cold in the north, and winter clothes will need to be made of thicker cotton and down jackets."

The two walked around and went downstairs.

When passing by an underwear store, Tian Xiaoqing stopped to take a look.

Wang Lin said, "Go in and have a look?"

Tian Xiaoqing smiled shyly: "You wait for me outside."

Wang Lin smiled and said, "Are you still shy?"

Tian Xiaoqing rolled his eyes at him: "I'm buying bras and shorts!"

"Well, go buy it!" Knowing that she was thin-skinned, Wang Lin lit a cigarette outside.

Tian Xiaoqing entered the underwear store and saw some strange clothes inside. She couldn't help feeling curious, and asked the clerk, "What are these?"

"It's also underwear. This is the most popular style abroad. It's more interesting."

"Ah?" Tian Xiaoqing blushed suddenly, it was the first time she saw such a thing for sale!

The shop is not big, Wang Lin stood outside, and could hear the conversation inside. Hearing this, he couldn't help but walked in, looked at the underwear, thinking how interesting it would be if he bought it for Shen Xue to wear.
I didn't expect to see such an interesting style here!

But in front of Tian Xiaoqing, he was too embarrassed to buy it, thinking that one day I would come and buy it myself!
Seeing him coming in, Tian Xiaoqing couldn't help laughing and said, "Wang Lin, look at these!"

Wang Lindao: "It's pretty good! Do you want to buy it and try it?"

The clerk immediately said: "Our styles are all purchased from Xiangjiang, and they are not sold in general places. In fact, this style of bras and trousers is already very popular abroad. You two are young couples, bought them back Definitely adds interest!"

Tian Xiaoqing bent over with a smile, supported Wang Lin with her hands, and said in a low voice: "Why do we look like a husband and wife? Others see us as husband and wife?"

The clerk talked about the magic of these clothes.

Tian Xiaoqing's ears turned red when he heard it, and he even said no, and then chose a few normal products.

Wang Lin paid the bill for her.

When the two walked out of the store, Tian Xiaoqing was still smiling: "Wang Lin, what do women look like in those things you said? Are you not ashamed?"

Wang Lin looked at her graceful figure, and thought that you must look good in it, but he just thought about it, and he must not say it.

His thoughts naturally showed on his face, and his eyes became a little pale.

Tian Xiaoqing felt his burning gaze, her body felt like it was on fire, her heart was beating wildly, and she asked softly, "Wang Lin, what do you want?"
