Even though I couldn't see the butcher being punished, I still looked at the old lady's unreasonable look, and if I could make a scene, the butcher would take out the piece of meat.
Apart from anything else, once the meat is taken out, even if it is to stop them from talking nonsense, it cannot be taken back.
And the old lady would definitely not be able to buy such a big piece of meat by herself, and the people queuing up behind them could also benefit from it to some extent.
The manager looked at the eagerness in the eyes of those at the back. How could he not know what their intention was?
But this head must not be opened today. Once it is opened, it will be difficult to do the work in the future.
No one has done something small these days, not only the butcher, but also him. As the manager of a department store, although he has never taken advantage of the public, he has also taken advantage of his work. Before the goods are put on the counter, he has taken advantage of his work.
Save some for yourself or for friends and family.
Looking at the piece of meat under the chopping board, the manager's eyes flashed, and he thought of an idea, and then made an understanding look: "I know it's not easy for everyone, and I don't want to make trouble because of this piece of meat. It's just that the Chinese New Year is coming soon.
, everyone wants to make the younger generations in the family get a little dirty.
I can understand everyone’s feelings. If this meat is ordered privately, I, the manager, will take it out and share it with everyone without saying a word, so that everyone can go back and have a good New Year.”
The manager said, the expression on his face became more and more embarrassed: "I can understand everyone, but I also have to ask everyone to understand me. I didn't want to say it at first, but now I have to say it. This meat is really not
We ordered it privately, and our leaders paid for this meat themselves..."
Before the manager finished speaking, the old lady exploded when she heard that it was several leaders who were pocketing the money. She first shouted to the crowd: "Everyone, did you hear clearly? He just admitted it, this is
Evidence of his corruption.”
Then he pointed at the manager's nose and cursed: "You still say that you are not corrupt, but I think you are just moths, moths that only know how to suck the blood of the people. I said, "You are running so fast but you can't get the meat."
Let you worms get greedy..."
The manager, who had never been scolded by anyone since he joined the department store, felt the old lady spitting on his face, and a flash of anger flashed in his eyes.
Then he suppressed his anger and showed an aggrieved expression: "Old lady, calm down, calm down, you have to listen to me first. This meat, this meat is really not left to us.
private."
The manager was clearly feeling aggrieved, but the hand he placed under the meat case kept gesticulating towards the butcher.
The fact that the butcher can control the meat stall all year round proves that he is not stupid.
After understanding the manager's gesture, he was just stunned for a moment, and then he reacted and looked angry.
The butcher looked angrily and shouted at the crowd who were chattering and supporting the old lady: "Don't falsely accuse our manager. He is not corrupt. You don't know that he bought this meat with his own money for the children in the orphanage."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present fell silent.
The manager wiped his face and said with a distressed look on his face: "I did something wrong in this matter. I used to seek personal gain, but you haven't seen how thin the children in the orphanage have become. It makes me feel distressed just to see them.
I know this year is going to be difficult for everyone, but I just feel sorry for the children in the orphanage.
My ability is limited and I can’t do anything else, so I just thought that the Chinese New Year is coming soon and I want to let the children in the orphanage eat dumplings and have a good New Year.”
After saying that, the manager bowed to everyone: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't use my power for personal gain. I will reflect on it to everyone."
The manager's apology not only stunned the people around him, but also the noisy old lady.
Even if she doesn't know much about human affairs, she still knows that the children in the orphanage are pitiful, but anyone who doesn't want to be thrown rotten eggs will not rob the children in the orphanage.
Seeing that she was put on the spot by the manager, unable to go up or down, and having such a reputation attached to herself, the old lady wanted to faint at that moment.
But she was in good health and stayed awake all the time.
Just when she was thinking about how to escape, her companions behind her muttered dissatisfiedly, as if they still didn't know what was going on: "The orphanage allows people to save meat in advance."
As soon as these words came out, everyone who had uneasy consciences because they had wronged the manager finally had a place to vent, and everyone pointed their finger at the old lady who caused all this.
The old lady was so angry that she didn't know how to refute her. In the end, she could only cover her face and leave without any excuses.
After the old lady ran away in embarrassment, everyone was silent for a moment, and then someone spoke to ease the atmosphere.
"It's cold. I don't know if those children have thick clothes to wear. I'm an old lady who doesn't save much money, so I can't help in other ways. However, my grandchildren have grown up, and the clothes left behind will last for a while.
There is no one to wear, so I will go back later to clean it up and send it over for the children to wear."
If this aunt's words reminded everyone, everyone smiled awkwardly, and then they all agreed: "Yes, yes, there is only one girl in my family. The girl has grown up now. She has changed a lot of clothes, so I have to clean them up too."
Let’s see if any kids can wear it.”
"My youngest son is naughty. He couldn't wear the clothes for three days before he made a big hole. He grows up very fast. The new clothes he just made last year can no longer be worn this year. Although the clothes he changed out don't look good.
, but the material is good, I will sew it up when I get home soon and wear it for the children."
"My grandson..."
"My eldest son."
"my home……"
After a while, more than a dozen people agreed to pack up the clothes worn by the children at home and send them to a nearby orphanage.
Seeing the scene in front of him, the manager's eyes flashed with joy.
Although this excuse was something he came up with on the spur of the moment, since he said it, he would definitely do it.
But he didn't care about the meat at all. As soon as the news came out today, his reputation immediately rose.
With this reputation, maybe the delusion in his heart will become a reality, and maybe it will reach a higher level.
Knowing that he had already taken 99 steps and that he must not make a mistake at the last step, the manager quickly calmed down the expression on his face and bowed to everyone in an extremely serious manner, thanking everyone for their help to the children in the orphanage.
As soon as this incident came out, the people who had been queuing up to buy meat no longer wanted to buy meat and left one after another, planning to go home, pack up their clothes, and send them to the orphanage.
As for whether anyone will feel distressed by this in the future, only my family will know.
