Chapter 266: 266 There are actually stockings in the supermarket!_1

He handed the voucher to Ji Pianran and then, holding Tangtang, the family of three got on the elevator.

They went to room 308 on the third floor.

As soon as they entered, Tangtang was instantly amazed.

In the center of the room was a snow-white bed, with even the pillows being white, looking soft like cotton candy!

The little one was so excited that she took off her shoes and climbed onto it to jump non-stop as if it were a trampoline.

Gu Chen looked at Ji Pianran and instructed, "Then you guys stay put, and if you’re bored, just take a walk downstairs, but don’t wander off."

Hearing this, Ji Pianran nodded, "Alright, you be careful on the road too."

Gu Chen nodded and left the hotel.

He took a taxi to the police station, ready to file a report.

At the police station, the officer taking the report was a middle-aged policeman.

After Gu Chen had explained the situation, the officer said he was also helpless. Cases like these were numerous in Huacheng, with several dozens occurring every day; they simply couldn’t handle them all.

All he could do was take Gu Chen’s phone number and tell him to go back home, promising to notify the family as soon as there was a clue.

Gu Chen understood, considering Huacheng in this era was rapidly developing and also at its most chaotic.

Meanwhile, Tangtang was bouncing wildly on the bed.

The more she jumped, the more excited she became, and shortly after Gu Chen had left, she asked her mother to take her down to play.

Honestly, Ji Pianran was also very curious about this place.

The most important thing was that they hadn’t brought any belongings with them, so buying daily necessities like toothbrushes and face towels was a must.

After all, the hotel wasn’t home, and using its items just didn’t feel right.

The mother and daughter quickly freshened up and tidied themselves before leaving the hotel and starting to wander around the street.

The area was bustling, mostly filled with shops selling goods.

Clothes and pants, as well as various snacks.

When Ji Pianran reached the corner, she spotted a large supermarket and took Tangtang inside.

They walked and browsed at the same time.

This supermarket was truly huge, spanning two whole floors!

There were no supermarkets this big in Huangxian.

Ji Pianran bought two towels, soap, and toothbrushes, then prepared to take Tangtang back.

As they were passing by a shelf, having reached the end, the little one suddenly noticed a mannequin in the corner. She pointed at the black silk stockings on its legs, her face full of curiosity.

"Mommy, what’s that?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Pianran looked in that direction and was surprised to find that they sold silk stockings there!

The thought of Gu Chen watching that girl wear silk stockings suddenly came to mind.

No way!

She had to buy some too!

She couldn’t help it; it was in her competitive nature to prove that she could also look good in silk stockings and especially to prove it to Gu Chen!

After contemplating, she approached a staff member dressed in red overalls and said, "Hello, could you help me get a pair of silk stockings?"

The silk stockings were sold by a middle-aged woman who, seeing Ji Pianran asking for them, quickly came over with an apologetic smile on her face.

"I’m sorry, ma’am, we’ve already sold out of silk stockings. The weather has heated up recently and everyone’s started buying them. You see, the last pair was just sold and we don’t have any left."

Hearing this, Ji Pianran felt somewhat downhearted.

"Oh, never mind then."

Saying this, she took Tangtang by the hand, ready to leave.

Seeing Ji Pianran about to leave, the middle-aged woman hastily said, "Miss, wait a minute, our fishnet stockings are selling really well too. This batch just came in this afternoon; they’re even selling better than the silk stockings, young girls all like them."

Actually, if it were a local, they would know right away that she was lying!

These salespeople get commissions, so naturally, the more they sell, the better.

Trick as many as they can.

But Ji Pianran didn’t know that!

In Huangxian, hardly anyone wears silk stockings, let alone fishnet ones.

She was completely clueless about these things.

Seeing the saleswoman put it that way, she suspiciously glanced at the face of the saleswoman and earnestly asked, "Really?"

The saleswoman nodded her head, her expression could not have been more sincere.

"Of course, these fishnet stockings sell super well, they’re much more breathable than silk stockings, and they’re not easy to tear!"

Well, of course, they’re all mesh, how could they tear.

Ji Pianran, half believing and half doubting, looked at her for a while and finally said, "Then bring me a pair."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged woman hurriedly took a pair of packaged fishnet stockings off the shelf and handed them to Ji Pianran.

She examined them and couldn’t pinpoint what was strange, but she just felt it was very odd.

Still, adopting the attitude of "better something than nothing," she bought them anyway.

After all, the intelligence of a woman in love really isn’t high.

After purchasing the stockings, Ji Pianran finally took Tangtang back to the hotel, and the two watched Tom and Jerry for a while before Tangtang drifted off to sleep, drowsy and oblivious.

Gu Chen first went to the police station, and then headed to the internet cafe where he spent one yuan for an hour of internet time.

He found a computer, opened up Baidu, and started searching for shoe polish.

As expected, the moment he pressed enter, countless links about shoe polish popped up.

The most eye-catching one was "Join us at Chengguang Shoe Polish, and making ten thousand a day isn’t a dream. We’re not selling shoe polish, but dreams!"

Without hesitation, Gu Chen clicked on it, and saw a prominent phone number below, 138...

Seeing this, he couldn’t help but take out his cell phone and dial the number.

"Hello, how can I join you?" he asked straightforwardly.

Upon hearing his question, the person on the other end hesitated for a moment, "Why do you want to join us?"

"Do I need to say? I want to make money, of course, to make over ten thousand a month and live a better life!" Gu Chen replied self-righteously.

"What is your profession?" the person asked in not-so-fluent Mandarin.

Gu Chen thought for a moment, "I sell vegetables, and I can earn about fifty yuan a day. It’s really tiring and hard. Anyway, it’s all about selling, so I might as well sell shoe polish with you!"

Truth be told, these pyramid schemers are quite cunning, asking what job you do is to ascertain your income and profession.

They generally don’t scam lawyers, government officials, or those in authority.

They just say they dialed the wrong number and hang up.

But if you run a small business or are a laborer, or if your education isn’t high, then they really love it.

They specifically target these people.

Hearing that Gu Chen sold vegetables, the other person immediately let down their guard, and their tone turned much warmer.

"Hello, hello, our company is specially designed for dreamers like you who have not yet found their benefactor. Believe me, as long as you join us, you could be the next millionaire!"

After that, he continued, "By the way, what’s your name?"

Gu Chen thought for a moment before replying, "My last name is Tian, everyone calls me Tian Laosì!"

He didn’t tell the truth; there was no need to be honest with these scammers.

Plus, if his brother really had been taken away by them, there must be a reason why they hadn’t released him after so many days. His brother’s last name was Gu, and so was his own. If they became suspicious, it would be troublesome for him.

The name Tian Laosì was good, it had an air of authenticity, and at first listen, you could tell it was rural.
