Chapter 413: Chapter 413 Temporary Worker Found

That day business finally picked up, drawing more and more customers.

Zhao Xinxin went back to work at the accessory shop and didn’t go over to help at the appliance store again. There was a stove in the shop, so there was no need to go out to eat; they could simply whip up something on the stove.

New Year’s Day holiday arrived.

Yun Xiaoxiao, along with Zhao Tianlei and a few others, went to the square to sell goods and, of course, they also brought along Zhao Tianhe.

There were also several temporary workers they hired to spread out and sell goods, each earning one yuan for their efforts.

These temporary workers were found by Zhao Tianlei, his classmates, who operated with clear-cut professionalism, securing their student IDs and subsidy cards from the school as a deposit.

These were students from not-so-well-off families who wanted to find a job, which was not an easy task. The school’s subsidies were insufficient for the young men’s appetites.

As for relying on their families, that was not an option.

I must say, having these university students helping out, they managed to sell off another batch of goods.

New Year’s Day meant three days off.

Meanwhile, Tan Yunrou and her cousin Ren Jianing went shopping and happened upon Zhao Tianlei selling goods.

"Cousin, Brother Zhao."

Ren Jianing already knew that Qian Fangfang had her eye on her cousin’s lifesaving hero.

"Are you here to sell things?"

The New Year’s Day was a bit chilly, but it seemed the others were busy, incredibly so.

"Isn’t that an electric rice cooker? I’ve heard from my classmates that it’s really convenient for cooking rice, it’s just a bit expensive," Ren Jianing said as she walked closer and noticed the goods they were selling, a bit surprised.

Brother Zhao’s purchased items are getting more expensive each time?

It seems he’s made some money.

Ren Jianing doesn’t see anything shameful in being an individual operator.

Earning money through one’s own abilities is nothing to be ashamed of.

"Let’s not disturb Brother Zhao then."

Ren Jianing felt quite helpless.

Don’t you see there are children and female comrades here?

"Why is the boss’s wife also here?"

Tan Yunrou was surprised to see Yun Xiaoxiao.

And Ren Jianing also spotted the boss’s wife who brought two kids to sell goods.

Do these two have some connection?

Ren Jianing didn’t know.

But there were several other men around.

Writing up invoices, opening boxes, letting customers inspect, then packaging, and finally sending them off.

The busy bunch didn’t even realize they were being watched.

Because they were just too busy.

Because those who came here to shop had quite a bit of disposable income.

And that electric rice cooker was indeed enticing.

The Wangfujing Department Store hadn’t even gotten their hands on this item yet.

By the time the manager of the Wangfujing Department Store found out about this, it was already the last day of the New Year’s holiday.

He approached Zhao Tianlei, hoping to introduce their electric rice cookers into their department store.

It would be five yuan cheaper than the outside selling price, and both Yun Xiaoxiao and Zhao Tianlei agreed to the deal.

But as small business operators, they didn’t do monthly settlements: they settled the accounts as soon as they delivered a batch of goods.

Even so, they still had five thousand units left.

Selling half of the stock meant they had recovered their initial investment.

Zhao Tianlei paid back the money he borrowed from his wife and then took out the ledger to start distributing the profits.

The promised commissions had to be paid out in full.

Qian Fangfang came over several times without finding Zhao Tianlei, which left her somewhat irritable. She was about to give up looking for him here and was planning to find Tan Yunrou instead.

As long as she stuck with Tan Yunrou, she was sure to see Zhao Tianlei again.

People had already started introducing her to potential suitors, and she neither refused nor accepted, skillfully deflecting the matter.

However, when her aunt brought up the topic and she remembered the man she married in her past life, whom her aunt had introduced, she knew the ordeal all too well.

That man might have seemed decent on the outside, but only Qian Fangfang knew the suffering she endured after marriage.
