Chapter 455: Own People(1/2)
The middle-aged man holding a porcelain cup had a sullen expression on his face.
"Are you being unreasonable? Are you still talking about first-come, first-served?"
Xiao Wei didn't dare to admit the crime, so he quickly explained it away.
"Oh, of course we are reasonable. But don't you have enough foreign exchange certificates?"
The middle-aged man brought the banknotes over again.
"Although my foreign exchange coupons are not enough, didn't I add RMB for you? And I added two more yuan."
Xiao Meng did not hesitate to do that.
"Then can RMB be the same as foreign exchange certificates? If you hold RMB, can you go to the Friendship Store to buy things?"
The middle-aged man stuttered.
"Then... if it's not enough, I can still make up for it. Are you going to follow me to get it from the head office now?"
Xiao Meng was proud.
"Sorry, we can't leave without permission."
The middle-aged man was so anxious that veins appeared on his forehead.
"Then...then I'll hand over my work permit to you. I'll take away your things first, and I'll send you the foreign exchange coupons in a moment."
But the more urgent he was, the more Xiao Wei and Xiao Meng misunderstood him as having "bad intentions".
The two of them shook their heads at the same time.
One said, "I'm sorry, there is no reason to take things first and give money later. Besides, we don't have the ability to distinguish whether your work permit is genuine or not..."
Another said, "That's right, you'd better put your things down for us quickly, because this foreign customer is still waiting."
The middle-aged man was so anxious that his jaw was trembling.
"Do you understand the rules? Are you businessmen? If I don't let go of the things, you can't show them to others, let alone sell them to others. You actually made excuses for foreigners and asked me to put things away. What do you mean?"
How old are Xiao Wei and Xiao Meng? They are from the generation who grew up under the state-owned system.
The two of them really didn't agree with the rules spoken by the middle-aged man.
In order to make the middle-aged man give up and leave, Xiao Wei spoke very simply.
"Oh, your rules are quite new. According to what you mean, if you insist on saying that you like everything in our store, shouldn't we be able to receive other customers? There is no such logic in the world, right?"
What Xiao Meng said was even worse.
"Let's not say it's useless. If you can't get the 18 yuan in foreign exchange coupons, please leave immediately. Our 'rejection of visits' was originally meant to receive foreign guests, not domestic guests."
I've probably never had to be kicked out of a store.
When the middle-aged man heard this, his face became distorted, almost like an anxious cat.
"You're actually attacking me again? Why this time? I'm going to go find the leaders of the Temple of Heaven Park and sue you!"
This Xiao Meng is also very good.
Pushing the store door open, he pointed at the sign outside and said.
"Why? Please be careful, just rely on this brand. What can you say if you don't have a foreign exchange certificate? I also tell you that the Temple of Heaven Park can't control us! Our manager's office is over there in the yard. But this rule
It was him who made the decision, are you still suing?"
This is an honest provocation!
The middle-aged man was really anxious, so he walked out and stood under the sign.
"I am not illiterate, but I would like to ask you to read it to me. Tell me, what do these words mean? Does it mean that Chinese people and dogs are not allowed to enter? I also want to ask you again, who are you?
kind?"
Xiao Meng became anxious and shouted angrily.
"Hey, why are you scolding people? Thanks to your age, you're going to fall on a dog at your age!"
The middle-aged man laughed in anger.
"Swearing? I've never scolded anyone in my life. You two girls, who is more talkative than me. But I have to discuss this with you! Who are we at fault? It's best for everyone to come and listen.
"
At this time, many tourists had gathered in front of Zhai Palace Crafts Store.
The middle-aged man pointed at the signboard and expressed his dissatisfaction angrily to the tourists.
"I think back then, there were signs saying 'No Chinese and dogs allowed' at the park entrances of the foreign concessions in Shanghai, Hainan and Tianjin. But even then, no one in Peiping dared to hang them? I don't understand what's happening now
What's wrong with the world? Some people here dare to put up such a sign!"
Xiao Wei and Xiao Meng were dumbfounded. They immediately realized that the middle-aged man's move might have serious consequences.
This guy is insidious. He actually launched a public opinion offensive and incited the masses?
So one of them hurriedly stopped me. "Hey, what are you doing? Just because I won't sell you anything, are you sincerely causing trouble?"
Another tit for tat.
"Don't listen to his nonsense. Take a good look. There are some 'Chinese and dogs are not allowed' somewhere here. This man is sick and is deliberately trying to cause trouble."
In fact, their words are not unreasonable at all if they are viewed from their perspective.
But the problem is that the social image of salespeople these days is not very good.
In most stores, customers are vulnerable groups when faced with salespersons. Who has not been neglected by salespersons?
It is not an exaggeration to say that angering people to death is not worth their lives.
Even when Xiao Wei and Xiao Meng went to the store to buy things, it was the same.
If you encounter salespeople at the counter talking to each other, they won't pay attention to you no matter how loudly you yell.
Even when I encounter a salesperson coming back and forth counting a stack of bills and receipts, she refuses to raise her head...
It's so annoying!
What's more, the two girls have delicate skin and delicate flesh, which contrasts with the hard and simple image of middle-aged people.
Naturally, it is easier to inspire hatred of the rich among ordinary people.
As a result, the audience's position is very firm, and there is no possibility of wavering.
A foreigner wearing glasses first said, "Although what you wrote above is euphemistic, the meaning is the same, that is, common people are not allowed to enter. I am from the south. I went to Liulichang in the capital the day before yesterday and entered ten stores.
Nine of them are so condescending as you. There was a shop selling enamels, and when a foreign tourist group came, I was pushed out of the door by someone. What you do is so hurtful!"
"That's right, what the hell! Do foreigners' farts smell good?"
"Hey! You won't let our own people in, but you just want to serve foreigners? Are there such people who worship foreigners?"
"Don't forget, this is the Pierre Cardin Clothing Exhibition Hall. People are getting paid by foreigners, so they naturally regard this as a foreign concession."
"Ask them, do they know their ancestors? They really thought they had blue eyes!"
It’s finished! It’s really a Japanese ship, it’s finished (maru)!
The scene at this time is quite comparable.
It's like a big stone thrown into a smelly hut, arousing public anger (dung)!
Xiao Wei and Xiao Meng came to the fore in their twenties.
As grown-up as they are, have they ever experienced such a scene?
As a result, everyone turned pale and burst into tears. They wished they could close the door, hide, and find a place to get in.
What's even more unexpected is that a few foreigners in the store didn't take it too seriously.
Not only did they all stand aside and watch the fun, they were also pointing and talking.
Even the yellow-haired boy with blue eyes and big nose who asked to see the cup just now.
He also laughed loudly and pointed his thumb at the middle-aged man.
So some of the onlookers who didn't know the whole story spoke up.
"Look at the quality of foreigners, they also know the right and wrong."
"That's right, who likes slaves? People will still look down on a dog that can only wag its tail at foreigners."
These words certainly made Xiao Wei and Xiao Meng extremely aggrieved.
They almost vomited a mouthful of blood, and their intestines turned blue with regret.
They felt from the bottom of their hearts that foreigners were ungrateful and made them look like pigs in the mirror. They were no longer human inside and out.
Fortunately, the noise here was so loud that the people in Wuliang Hall heard it.
That day, Xiao Cao, who was working in Wuliang Hall and was looking after the main clothing exhibition area, came out to take a look.
I noticed that something was wrong at the door of the nearby handicraft store and that things were about to get serious, so I hurried to the manager's office and asked Ning Weimin to come out.
And Ning Weimin responded extremely quickly.
