Xi Haitang was startled, thinking that he was talking nonsense, "Your son is so old, why are you saying that I am the only woman?!"
"I..." Gu Xijue gritted his teeth secretly, but couldn't tell the truth.
Seeing that he was speechless, and because he was so angry, Xi Haitang didn't think more, let alone argue with him, "Gu Xijue, this is my store. You are not welcome. Get out!"
"You come with me and close this shabby shop!"
"What kind of shabby shop?! This is my job! I have to make money to live!"
"Isn't it easy to want money?! I'll give it to you!" As he said that, Gu Xijue took out his checkbook and signature pen from his pocket and quickly wrote one to her, "Five million, you close the store and come back.
work!"
Looking at the huge check, Xi Haitang suddenly felt a sense of sadness and anger in his heart, "Gu Xijue, do you think being rich is a big deal? Yes, you are rich, you have a lot of money, so much that you can kill it with just one check.
Me, I can’t make even a fraction of five million even if I sell a thousand or ten thousand cards, but do you think that it’s enough as long as you have money? Do you know how much effort I put into opening this store?”
Her tone was harsh, but with a vulnerability that could not be concealed. Gu Xijue was slightly startled and saw tears twinkling in her eyes.
The wind chime rang again, and a customer came to the door. Xi Haitang quickly wiped his face, forced a smile and greeted the customer, "Welcome, please take a look..."
“Boss, you don’t recognize us?!”
"Uh..." Xi Haitang looked at it carefully and felt that the man and woman in front of her looked familiar. Ah, she remembered that they were the two people who came to buy a couple's necklace on the opening day!
"Boss, our friends from other schools liked the chains we both wore when they saw them. They asked us to bring a few. Can you give us a discount?"
"Okay, 20% off, you guys need to help me promote it more."
"No problem! Boss, the things in your store can't be bought anywhere else, and you are such a nice person, we will definitely come here often in the future!"
In the corner, Gu Xijue felt mixed feelings in her heart. She didn't expect that she had made a reputation in such a short time. She must have put in a lot of effort. No wonder she was so excited just now.
Seeing that slender figure busy, Gu Xijue had no choice but to leave sadly.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Xi Haitang closed the shop. He sorted out the whole day's accounts and put them in his wallet, feeling satisfied after all the hard work.
It has been a month since she opened her business, and her business is better than expected. If she can maintain such results, she thinks her annual profit should be around 40,000 to 50,000 yuan, which is enough for her and Xiaochen to live on, and she can still save money if she saves money.
The next deal. When she thought about the wonderful future, she felt relaxed. Go to hell with that bastard Gu Xijue, she can live a good life by opening a store!
After closing the store door and locking it, Xi Haitang took advantage of the night breeze and walked into the streets of the university town. There were many stalls selling snacks on both sides of the street. One of them sold octopus balls. Xiaochen liked it very much. She thought
Bring one back to my daughter.
"Boss, give me one, it costs five yuan."
"Okay!" the boss responded enthusiastically, finishing the packing with skillful movements, "Here, get it!"
"Thank you." Xi Haitang paid, not realizing that in an obscure corner, a few pairs of malicious eyes were staring at the wallet in her hand.
ten minutes later--
"Ah! Robbery..." Xi Haitang screamed and asked for help, "Catch the thief...Give me my wallet..."
Xi Haitang shouted while chasing, that wallet contained more than half of her month's income, and it must not be taken away!
The robbers were a small gang. The person who first snatched the wallet quickly ran into the crowd and transferred the stolen goods to his accomplices. By following this pattern, the wallet disappeared within a few seconds.
"Don't run...Give me your wallet!" Xi Haitang caught a man who looked like a thief in the crowded crowd, but the man denied it.
"Miss, please see clearly. Don't accuse a good person unjustly. I didn't steal your wallet. If you don't believe me, you can search me!" The thief in his early twenties with a ruffian look was so arrogant that the wallet had already changed hands!
"I didn't accuse you wrongly, you just robbed my wallet! Follow me to the police station!" Xi Haitang was very sure and held on to the other party to demand justice.
"Smelly woman, are you done yet? Stay away!" The thief pushed Xi Haitang away and tried to leave.
"Ah..." Xi Haitang staggered, and almost fell down, but just when his body was about to lose balance, someone suddenly hugged his waist, and a familiar masculine breath rushed into his nose. He raised his eyes, with shock in his eyes.
, "Gu Xijue, why are you here..."
He ignored her question and pursed his thin lips in a straight line, which was a sign of his anger. The thief ran away when he saw that something was going wrong. Gu Xijue stepped forward and caught him with two quick steps, saying with a serious tone, "Bring it to me."
Hand over your wallet!"
"I...I didn't steal it, and you have no evidence!"
"No evidence?!" Gu Xijue raised his brows, with a sinister look in his eyes. He reached out and took out his gold card from his pocket, and stuffed it into the thief's hand. His fingerprints clearly left marks. His lips raised evilly.
, speaking slowly but dangerously, "This card is limited globally, there are only ten in total. Do you think if I call the police, will you be imprisoned for the rest of your life?!"
"You..." The thief was frightened. He was used to petty thefts and had never encountered such a ruthless man. This man had a gorgeous posture and had a terrifying cold temperament without even using his hands. He was terrifying to the bone.
"I will give you five seconds to think about it. Once five seconds pass, you will never see the light of day in this life! Five, four, three, two..."
Before he could finish counting the words, the thief's accomplice in the crowd who had not gone far had already thrown his wallet over with all his strength. Gu Xijue's lips slightly raised and he slowly let go of his hand. While letting the thief steal away, the gold card
Also fell to the ground.
Turning back, he looked at Xi Haitang. When he saw that the heel of her left foot was crooked due to running just now, his eyes darkened, "Next time you do something, use your brain first."
Xi Haitang bit her lip, knowing that he was mocking her for not overestimating her own capabilities, but at that moment her first reaction was to catch up with the thief. There was no time to use her brain, it was faster to use her legs.
Bending down, she helped him pick up the gold card on the ground, "Thank you..."
The corners of the man's lips twitched, "You don't understand me. Would I still want a card that was stained by someone like that?!"
"But this is a global limited edition gold card!"
"So I want you to use your brain - you have reported the loss in advance." Gu Xijue's expression was unpredictable. He stretched out his big hand and held her little hand in his palm, "Follow me!"
