Seeing Gu Baichuan making private claims, Xiao Xiaofang slapped Gu Baichuan on the back and said angrily: "Husband, why are you so crazy today?"
"I'm so happy. My son has a promising future. Can't I give something back to the society?" Gu Baichuan's reason was refreshing and refined.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Jingde quickly asked Gu Baichuan: "What about my cigarette?"
"Cigarettes are not promotional items. They are only promotional items with 40% off. Whatever you want, Lao Zhang, just take your pick." Although Gu Baichuan was bold, he was not stupid.
Zhang Jingde raised his eyebrows: "How boring is this?"
"Haha." Seeing that Zhang Jingde was serious, Gu Baichuan immediately walked to the counter, pulled out a pack of Zhang Jingde's favorite cigarettes, stuffed it directly into Zhang Jingde's hand, and said gratefully:
"Lao Zhang, your nephew Gu Chen has become the acting deputy director of the branch, and you, as your uncle, will also benefit from it."
"Of course, this has nothing to do with the training you have given to my Gu Chen over the years."
Looking at the cigarettes stuffed into Zhang Jingde's hand, Gu Baichuan said again: "Here's this pack of cigarettes for you."
"Hey, you, this is so interesting." Seeing Gu Baichuan being so generous, Zhang Jingde was immediately delighted.
Mainly, I am happy for Gu Chen. After all, Gu Chen has been staying at the police station with me since he was a child, and he has always watched him grow up.
Now Gu Chen is the acting deputy director of the Furong Branch. As an uncle, he is also very proud in the unit.
Generally speaking, Gu Chen not only gave Gu Chen some face, but also gained face for himself.
Suddenly, several employees in the store gathered around to congratulate Gu Chen on his promotion.
And Gu Baichuan was not stingy and immediately gave everyone some gifts.
For a time, the entrance of the entire Xingfu Community non-staple food supermarket was very lively.
I saw the clerk changed the 20% discount he had written before and immediately changed it to 40% off.
Many neighbors passing by were also instantly attracted by the discount.
An old lady asked: "Eh? Boss Gu, your usual promotion products are always 20% off. Why did you change it to 40% off today? Is it an expired product?"
"Hey young!" Seeing that the old lady was serious, Gu Baichuan also happily explained:
"I said, Aunt Wang, when have you ever seen me, Gu Baichuan, selling expired products? I will never sell expired products to you even if I throw them into the trash can."
"Well, that's true. You, Mr. Gu, have been doing business with conscience for so many years." After receiving Gu Baichuan's affirmation, Aunt Wang asked again:
"But what do you mean by giving me a 40% discount? Is this a big reward? Are you willing to bleed a lot of people? I don't believe it anyway."
Everyone who does business knows that it is certain to be stingy, and it is normal to be fussy.
Products that are always on sale at 20% off are suddenly on sale today at an unprecedented 40% off. The old lady wants to buy it and wants to take advantage of it, but she doesn't know what to do.
Just as Xiao Xiaofang was about to explain the truth, she was interrupted by Gu Baichuan: "This is not to thank all the neighbors for taking care of our Gu family's business over the years."
"No, my son Gu Chen has just been promoted to the acting deputy director of Furong Branch. As a father, I should thank everyone."
"What?"
"Gu Chen? Acting deputy director?"
The aunts who were following Aunt Wang before heard what Gu Baichuan said, and their jaws almost dropped in shock.
Seeing the young Gu Chen standing in the store, everyone stared at him, and for a moment they felt a little unreal.
"Gu Chen is so young and has only been working for a few years? How did he become the deputy director?" said a tall and thin aunt.
"He is the acting deputy director, not the deputy director." Another fat middle-aged woman also reminded.
When Gu Baichuan heard this, he was unhappy and quickly reminded him, "If this agent doesn't act as an agent, then that's not the case, right?"
"Acting is a transition. Once the transition period is over, he will be the deputy director."
"Really or not? Lao Gu, please don't joke with me?" Aunt Wang felt that Gu Baichuan usually behaved well in business and didn't look like a liar.
But Aunt Wang was somewhat unconvinced that Gu Chen could become the acting deputy director of Furong Branch at such a young age.
Seeing Aunt Wang's suspicious tone, Gu Baichuan immediately pushed Zhang Jingde forward again, pointed at Zhang Jingde and testified:
"If you don't believe me, then you should believe Zhang Jingde, right? He's also a policeman. Ask him."
When the neighbors heard this, they all looked at Zhang Jingde.
Zhang Jingde was also dumbfounded and could only nod his head and admit:
"That's right, Gu Chen, the son of the old Gu family, is my nephew since I was a child. He is now the acting deputy director of Furong Branch. When I see Gu Chen in the future, I have to call him Bureau Gu."
"Snapped!"
Hearing what Zhang Jingde said, Gu Baichuan slapped Zhang Jingde on the shoulder and showed off to everyone:
"Did you hear that? Everyone, when did I, Gu Baichuan, deceive you? My son Gu Chen has become a big leader. I am happy today. The products that were originally on sale at 20% off will be sold at 40% off today, while supplies last. Thank you for your support.
…”
Before Gu Baichuan finished his polite words, the neighbors immediately gathered around Gu Chen and congratulated him.
Then he rushed to the promotional display rack at the door and began to frantically buy promotional products.
Many people also picked up their mobile phones and made calls to quickly inform their neighbors about the large sales at the supermarket.
Not long after, the entire entrance of the non-staple food supermarket was overcrowded and very lively.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Jingde was also happy and said: "Lao Gu, your Gu family will be prosperous in the future. With the god Gu Chen here, the days to come will be better and better."
"Oh, of course." Listening to Zhang Jingde's compliments, Gu Baichuan enjoyed the achievements brought by his son very much.
I was also looking left and right in the store, and I couldn't help but say: "Oh, I think this store needs to be renovated. The image needs to be upgraded, and the decoration style needs to be changed."
"I never paid much attention to this before, but now that my son has become a big boss, can't we also renovate the store?"
"It doesn't have to be so troublesome, right?" Gu Chen was a little confused when he saw Gu Baichuan going through all kinds of troubles:
"Dad, I have just become the acting deputy director of the branch, and you are spreading the word all over the world. Isn't this a bit bad? It's better to keep a low profile and stop talking nonsense."
"That's right, don't waste our son." Xiao Xiaofang agreed with Gu Chen's low-key attitude. She also looked around and said casually:
"How about hanging a calligraphy and painting behind our counter? It always feels like this place is empty."
Hearing the advice from his wife and son, Gu Baichuan was still in high spirits at the moment, and he immediately agreed: "Okay, let's hang a calligraphy and painting. My name is Gu Baichuan, how about hanging a painting of 'The sea embraces all rivers'?"
After the words fell, Gu Baichuan looked at everyone.
Zhang Jingde couldn't help but laugh out loud, and waved his hands and said: "I'm talking about Lao Gu, I have handled a lot of cases."
"Do you believe it? Those people who say 'Hainan Baichuan' in their offices are actually petty."
"What? Being petty?" After hearing what Zhang Jingde said, Gu Baichuan immediately hesitated and muttered:
"But my name is Gu Baichuan. If it doesn't mean 'the sea embraces all rivers', how about 'God rewards those who work hard'?"
"'God rewards those who work hard' is not good either." Zhang Jingde waved his hand to deny it again and said:
"Those who say 'God rewards those who work hard' are bosses who like to boss around."
"How about 'Integrity Wins the World'? Let's do business." Xiao Xiaofang gave her idea.
But Zhang Jingde still waved his hand and said: "Those who say 'honesty wins the world' are generally unreliable liars."
"And let me tell you, our police have a lot of contact with these things. Those who say 'the best is like water' are basically contractors with a background of small gangsters."
"Those with the word 'willing to give up' are generally misers who love money as much as their lives."
"Also, and so on, most of those who say 'virtue and virtue' are bad-tempered, while those who say 'tranquil and far-reaching' are middle-aged people who are impatient and like to mess around."
After thinking for a while, Zhang Jingde added: "Also, as long as those who say 'you will win if you love to work hard', you will find that at most they are small businessmen who are as timid as mice and have no courage."
"Hey, young." Hearing what Zhang Jingde said, Gu Baichuan suddenly felt a little worried and said:
"Then this won't work, that won't work either, so what do you think is appropriate?"
"Don't worry about anything. Operating with integrity is defined by your heart, not by a calligraphy and painting. In my opinion, sincerity is more important than anything else." Seeing that everyone was struggling, Gu Chen, who was standing aside, gave his own opinion.
view.
Aunt Wang, who was carrying goods on the side, heard this and echoed:
"That's right, Xiao Gu is right. Doing business depends on hard work. What's the difference between the word-of-mouth spread among us old neighbors and whether we hang these messy calligraphy and paintings?"
"No matter how good the calligraphy and paintings are, a profiteer will not be able to do business well if he does not treat others with integrity."
"As for merchants who operate with integrity, no matter how well decorated your store is, if people should come to your home to buy goods, they still have to come over. Isn't this true?"
"Hey, what Aunt Wang said makes sense." Seeing Aunt Wang give her sincere opinion, Xiao Xiaofang no longer hesitated and said:
"Then don't hang on to anything and give our neighbors more discounts."
"Hey, the boss lady can still talk." While speaking, Aunt Wang had already selected the products and placed them on the counter.
A clerk came over immediately to pay for Aunt Wang.
Zhang Jingde looked at his watch and said as a reminder: "It's getting late. I have to go back to work in the office. Gu Chen, please come to our office when you have time. Everyone misses you."
"Okay, don't worry, Uncle Zhang. I will come and see you when I have time." Seeing Zhang Jingde leaving, Gu Chen said casually.
The business in the store started at 40% off and was very busy all morning.
Many neighbors compared the prices and immediately felt that the prices in the grocery supermarket were affordable.
Many people who originally wanted to go shopping in the mall suddenly crowded here.
Well-informed sources have always been the magic weapon for these old ladies who can grab promotional eggs to get great benefits.
I also saw a thin middle-aged woman who was extremely hesitant when choosing discounted products. She wanted to put some discounted products into her shopping bag several times.
But after hesitating a few times, he put the goods back into place again.
But he stood there and thought for a few seconds, then hesitantly took the product back.
This happened over and over again, and Gu Chen saw it all.
Gu Chen also saw that the middle-aged woman seemed to be in some difficulties, and Gu Chen knew this middle-aged woman and her family lived nearby.
But although Gu Chen looked familiar, he didn't know the woman's name, so he took the initiative to step forward and asked:
"Auntie, today there is a 40% off sale on some products in the store, which is basically half the usual price. If you need it, you might as well buy more."
"Sigh." The middle-aged woman nodded with some inferiority, but put the goods in her hand back on the shelf, then took the selected goods and walked to the counter to check out.
Looking at the back of the middle-aged woman who checked out and left the store, Gu Chen also looked curious.
It happened that her mother moved a box of goods from the shelves in the store. Seeing her son standing there, looking outside in a daze, Xiao Xiaofang couldn't help but curiously asked:
"Son, what are you looking at?"
"That auntie, when buying products with a 40% discount, she feels like she has to make a lot of decisions. Is it so difficult to decide on the items in our store?" Gu Chen was a little confused.
Xiao Xiaofang frowned, and based on Gu Chen's gaze, she looked outside and shook her head:
"I wonder who you are talking about?"
"Gu Chen is talking about Zhang Qin who lives above the car repair shop diagonally across the street, right?"
A fat middle-aged woman seemed to know the man, so she casually said it.
"Zhang Qin? Is her family in trouble?" Gu Chen also saw from the fact that Zhang Qin needed to make a lot of determination just to purchase the 40% off merchandise. It seems that Zhang Qin's family is in some trouble.
The fat middle-aged woman stretched her neck and glanced at Zhang Qin's back outside. Seeing Zhang Qin walking away, she explained to everyone:
"Actually, it's nothing. It's just Zhang Qin's son who owed a lot of money some time ago and feels like his family is almost empty, so his life suddenly becomes tense."
"Ow money?" After hearing what the fat middle-aged woman said, Xiao Xiaofang thought about it for a few seconds and then said:
"I seem to remember it. I seem to have heard someone mention it before. He is Zhang Qin's son, the tall and thin one, right? My family, Gu Chen, seemed to have graduated from the same school."
"Yes, yes, that's the tall, thin young man." After hearing Xiao Xiaofang's words, the fat middle-aged woman quickly agreed:
"Hey, young man, these young men spend money lavishly. I don't know if it's because they are too impetuous, or because we are already rich and have money everywhere?"
"Especially now, many of us don't even have a concept of money, especially young people."
"Most of today's young people can't even take out 30,000 to 50,000 yuan in their pockets, but they always feel that 1.8 million yuan is just small change."
"Those cars costing RMB 3 to 50,000, feel like they are just grocery shopping carts, not worth mentioning at all."
After looking at everyone, the middle-aged fat woman also asked, "Let me ask, are we really this rich?"
"How can you?" Xiao Xiaofang replied with a smile after hearing this.
A fat middle-aged woman clicked on the picture and echoed: "Isn't it right? Many young people nowadays have a monthly income of only three to five thousand, but they don't save eighty thousand a year, or they can't save money at all. They don't have that ideology.
Dare to go into debt.”
"This is either a credit card or various loans. Anyway, it's the kind of thing that doesn't have much ability to make money, but is very capable of spending money."
"It started with three to five thousand, then it rolled to thirty to fifty thousand, and finally it rolled to hundreds of thousands. I don't know where it ended up."
"And this Zhang Qin's son finally brought himself down because of various loans. Not only did he bring down himself, but he also brought down the whole family."
