Back to the 1970s: Building My Fortune Through Time Trading-Chapter 143: Director Liang Brings Her Gifts
The next moment, Wang Lili slapped her face: "It’s all your fault. If it wasn’t for you egging me on to report, would I have ended up like this?"
Zhang Dongmei was startled by the slap, and after recovering, she got angry too: "What do you mean, Wang Lili? It was clearly you who wanted to go, I was just agreeing with you!"
Wang Lili ignored her, glaring venomously at Su Xiaoxiao: "Su Xiaoxiao, don’t get too cocky, watch what happens."
After saying that, she picked up her handbag and left straight away.
Zhang Dongmei watched her leave like that, and a very bad premonition suddenly emerged in her heart.
Just then, Xu Cuilan came over: "Everyone quiet down, Comrade Wang Lili’s qualification was revoked due to false interview results. From now on, she won’t be part of our department store staff, and in a few days, someone new will come over to replace her at the food counter."
"What?"
Zhang Dongmei paled, didn’t expect things to turn out like this. She originally thought Su Xiaoxiao would be packing up and leaving, but it turned out to be Wang Lili who left.
What about her?
As soon as she thought of this, Manager Xu’s gaze swept over: "Some people who like to play tricks behind the scenes should also take heed, focus more on work and less on underhanded tactics, otherwise you’d be the next to be kicked out."
As she said this, she was looking at Zhang Dongmei, the person she meant was obvious.
Zhang Dongmei staggered, her face turned even paler.
"Xiaoxiao, wonderful, it’s a case of bad people getting their just deserts. I’ve always disliked that Wang Lili, always looking down on others."
"Everyone quiet down, I have another announcement."
Xu Cuilan cleared her throat, looking at Su Xiaoxiao with a face full of satisfaction: "Comrade Su Xiaoxiao from the food counter has been temporarily appointed as acting market department director due to her outstanding performance, let’s all give her a round of applause."
"Oh my! Xiaoxiao, you’re amazing!"
Zhang Yulan was the first to clap forcefully upon hearing this.
Huang Mei also gave her a thumbs up: "Xiaoxiao, you’re incredible, becoming a department director at such a young age."
Su Xiaoxiao felt a bit embarrassed from what they said: "Acting, I’m just a temporary acting director, not official."
Zhang Yulan looked at her with admiration: "Xiaoxiao, with your ability, you might very well become official in a few days."
"Yes, yes, Comrade Su is so impressive, she used to be an instructor at our training class."
The surroundings were filled with words of praise, Yang Baoguo happened to pass by with a mop, rolling his eyes disdainfully upon hearing their talk.
Zhang Yulan saw him and raised her eyebrow: "Comrade Yang, don’t you see how filthy the ground is over there? Hurry up and clean it."
In the past, people like them were often oppressed by Yang Baoguo, but this time, they finally got to feel proud.
Yang Baoguo gritted his teeth in anger, but he had no choice but to comply.
Director Sun had already warned him, if he doesn’t perform well, he can forget about resuming his position.
All right, he’s remembering each and every one of these people, when he resumes his position, he’ll make sure they pay.
Yang Baoguo furiously picked up the mop to clean the floor, but he used too much force and slipped, falling to the ground along with the mop, causing everyone to burst into laughter.
Today, because of these two incidents, Su Xiaoxiao was in a very good mood.
Being acting department director wasn’t something she cared for, the main point was that as acting director, she’d get thirty more yuan a month in salary, which was a substantial amount for her.
Almost quitting time, Su Xiaoxiao was packing up, ready to leave, when Zhang Yulan quietly approached.
"Xiaoxiao, I have a little favor to ask you?"
"Sister Zhang, with our relationship, what’s all this favor talk, just say it."
After today’s events, Su Xiaoxiao had a better impression of Zhang Yulan, as long as it’s something she could do, she’d be willing to help.
"I’m a bit embarrassed to say, my sister-in-law and some friends want me to help buy flashlights and a stainless steel cup, could you help get some more stock?"
It’s not asking for a favor, it’s clearly bringing money to her, Su Xiaoxiao agreed without hesitation: "How many do you need? I’ll ask my relatives for help."
Of course, she couldn’t tell Zhang Yulan she already had them, better to use the relatives as a cover.
Zhang Yulan shyly raised six fingers: "Six of each, is that okay?"
She felt a bit guilty saying this, after all, these items were scarce, even employees of the department store couldn’t get them.
Getting someone to buy so many at once was really asking a bit too much.
Seeing Su Xiaoxiao hadn’t immediately agreed, she quickly amended: "If it’s too much, fewer will..."
"Of course, no problem."
Su Xiaoxiao agreed before she could finish speaking.
Zhang Yulan didn’t expect such an easy answer, looking at her gratefully: "Thanks so much, Xiaoxiao."
"Sister Zhang, no need for formality with us, just let me know whenever you need anything."
Su Xiaoxiao waved her hand, Zhang Yulan gratefully took out a banana from her handbag and handed it to her: "Xiaoxiao, here’s a banana for you, see you tomorrow."
With that, she waved and left cheerfully.
Su Xiaoxiao pocketed the banana, leisurely picked up her handbag and left.
Behind her, Zhang Dongmei stared at her back, full of resentment.
Why does that brat have such good luck? With a father like that, she should be despised for life.
Su Xiaoxiao didn’t notice the look behind her, she got on her bike ready to go home.
Passing by the market, she saw fresh pork and was tempted.
But when she felt her pocket, she was disheartened, she had money for pork but no meat stamps.
It’s like having a fortune yet wandering in a deserted desert, nowhere to spend it.
Just as she was feeling depressed, she suddenly caught sight of a familiar figure,
The person saw her too, and with a face full of surprise, approached: "Comrade Su, is it really you?"
Su Xiaoxiao looked closely, turns out it was Liang Guofu whom she hadn’t seen for a long time.
"Director Liang?"
Liang Guofu scratched his head: "Thanks to your recipe, our factory’s sausages are in high demand recently."
After saying this, he seemed to remember something, pushed two pieces of meat and a rack of ribs into her hand: "Comrade Su, I was supposed to find you, our factory manager wanted me to bring these to you specifically."
Then he pointed to the pork stall at the market, whispered: "We just signed a pork supply contract with this market, if you need any, you can buy anytime, no need for a ticket."
Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes immediately lit up upon hearing this, such a good deal?
Looking at the pile of meat and ribs in her hand, she could almost see braised pork and sweet-and-sour ribs waving at her, but she swallowed her saliva and pretended to decline: "Director Liang, I couldn’t possibly accept..."
"Comrade Su, you must accept the meat or else you’d be treating me as an outsider."
While they were talking, Su Xiaoxiao suddenly noticed a familiar figure, seeming like...
