Chapter 94: Soft around the fingers
The Yintai Zhichu store was scheduled to open on Christmas Eve. There was a lot of preparation work on the eve of the opening. It took three whole days just to check the incoming goods and display the samples.
Ye Zhenzhen was so busy that she was typing price tags even in her dreams. She couldn't adjust the format in her dreams and wasted a lot of price tag paper.
I was sweating all over.
Being busy is one thing, but I am also under great psychological pressure for fear of not doing well. After all, opportunities are hard to come by, and I cannot let my efforts go unappreciated, and I don't want to embarrass myself in front of Wen Baijing.
Although the company sent a display designer, Manager Wang also came to the scene to help. As a store manager, she was afraid of making mistakes, so she had to keep an eye on all the trivial matters.
The preparations were completed. There was a large flow of customers on Christmas Eve, so the closing time of the mall was adjusted to 12:00 p.m.
Elements such as Christmas trees are indispensable, and the store also prepares small cakes and fruits for customers entering the store.
Because Christmas Eve is on Monday, the business is not too busy in the morning. The busiest time is after 18:00, when office workers get off work and spend Christmas Eve eating, shopping, and watching movies. This is a customary habit.
Ye Zhenzhen was so busy that she didn't have time to eat lunch. She helped the clerk find goods, brought customers to pay, and pressed for orders to assist in sales. It always takes about a week for new employees to get familiar with the goods. She was so busy that she was dizzy and had no time to breathe.
The mall was well heated, and she was in a tense state all the time, so she was busy and had no time to rest. The sweat on her forehead came out again as soon as she wiped it.
Xia Tong respectfully saw the customer off and was displaying the ironed samples.
After finishing the after-sales work, Xia Tong jumped in front of her and patted her arm, "Zhenzhen, do you want to take a break? I haven't seen you stop in the past few days. Do you still want to work so hard?"
Ye Zhenzhen was reporting her performance in the work group in front of the computer. After hitting the enter key, she looked up and whispered to Xia Tong: "It's okay, I'm not afraid of being tired, I'm just worried about not doing well..."
If you betray someone's trust, you will feel guilty. If you betray your own efforts, you will feel even more guilty.
"Oh!" Xia Tong smiled and said in a nonsensical way: "It's so good to do your best and leave the rest to fate! You have worked hard enough. It doesn't matter if you don't do well at work. You still have a way out. Find someone with good conditions to marry..."
Nowadays, many people hold the idea that it is better to marry well than to work well, and many people believe that people with good conditions are blind and blind.
Imagine that finding a good partner is as easy as going to the market to buy vegetables. You can just point at the fresh vegetables on the stall and choose whatever you want.
Ye Zhenzhen couldn't help laughing at Xia Tong's serious and heretical theories, so she jokingly asked, "When will you find someone with good conditions to marry?"
Little girls are shy and will feel embarrassed when talking about marriage.
Xia Tong smiled shyly and said angrily, "You don't know how to appreciate a good person."
After a pause, she continued, "Is your boyfriend good to you? What does he do? When do you want to bring him out to meet me? Let me check for you."
Hearing this, Ye Zhenzhen didn't know how to respond.
She was a little embarrassed and tried to deny it: "What are you talking about? Where did I get a boyfriend?"
"Don't lie to me, my sixth sense is always accurate." Xia Tong shook her head and said with great certainty, "You must have a boyfriend!"
Seeing this, Ye Zhenzhen couldn't hold back the smile on her face any longer.
I remember joking about Xia Tong setting up a stall under the overpass, and it turns out I wasn't exaggerating.
Ye Zhenzhen raised her finger, poked her forehead, and teased her: "You are one year younger than me, where did you get all this experience? Is it reliable?"
In order to prove that her premonition was accurate, Xia Tong brought up the past without a care in the world and said seriously: "Don't disbelieve me, my premonition is very accurate. Before my ex-boyfriend cheated on me, I always felt something was wrong, and after checking, it turned out that my premonition was very accurate..."
My heart suddenly sank.
I always thought that a new relationship could erase everything from the past, but that is not true. After the wound heals, the scar is not so easy to disappear. People with delicate minds are all prone to scars.
Ye Zhenzhen was a little absent-minded, and sentimentality surged up. Two sentences slipped out of her mouth, "Are you sad? Do you hate him?"
Xia Tong didn't take it seriously and said casually: "What's past is past. If the old doesn't go, the new won't come!"
It’s so nice to be so free and easy!
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Xia Tong said mysteriously, "That time when you fell off the ladder, I felt that Mr. Wen was a little strange..."
The sudden words made Ye Zhenzhen panic. She immediately lost her composure and hurriedly spoke out to stop him: "What's so strange? Don't talk nonsense."
Worried that Xia Tong's thoughts would continue to extend and analyze some secrets from the clues, Ye Zhenzhen coaxed and deceived her to send her away.
It was around five in the afternoon when Wen Baijing and Lu Yu arrived at Yintai for their store inspection.
It was obvious that he was going to get off work and pick up Ye Zhenzhen to take her home.
She hurriedly drank some porridge for breakfast and did not eat lunch. She ran to the supermarket downstairs to buy yogurt to sustain her life. While drinking the yogurt, she hurriedly planned to enter the mall from the east gate.
I ran into Wen Baijing and Lu Yu standing near the east gate observing the flow of customers. I just raised my head and took a big sip of yogurt, but didn't have time to swallow it.
The distance between them was only seven or eight meters. The moment Wen Baijing's eyes met hers, his gaze stayed on her face for a long time without moving away.
It's a bit embarrassing and has no image at all.
Afraid that the yogurt would spit out, she turned around, with her back to the two of them, and swallowed the yogurt while stroking her chest.
She tidied up her clothes and hair, and just as she turned around, Wen Baijing was already in front of her.
Wen Baijing's expression was still calm as usual, and he asked with concern: "Did you not have lunch?"
Ye Zhenzhen hid the yogurt bottle behind her back, but then realized that this action was too stupid, so she smiled at him in a cute way.
Don't dare to lie, you will be seen through at a glance.
Without waiting for Wen Baijing to come and question her, she quietly surrendered.
Ye Zhenzhen's words were almost sincere, and she looked flattering, "I will start eating on time tomorrow, and I promise that I won't do this again in the future. Please rest assured, boss."
Ye Zhenzhen, who had never said anything softly, suddenly did this.
Wen Baijing was stunned for a moment, neither angry nor amused.
I had no way to deal with her, so I didn't continue to argue with her on this topic. I said, "Don't stay up too late today. I'll wait for you to get off work and go home together."
Ye Zhenzhen narrowed her eyes and forced a smile at Wen Baijing. She wanted to refuse but felt that she had indeed neglected him recently.
After thinking it over, he could only nod reluctantly.
They agreed to go home by seven at the latest, but Ye Zhenzhen dragged it until nearly eight and was still reluctant to leave. Wen Baijing paced back and forth on the second floor, attracting passers-by to look at him from time to time.
Seeing this, Ye Zhenzhen had no choice but to change her clothes and head towards the underground parking lot. Wen Baijing walked in front of her on the right, with a distance of ten feet between them, walking one in front and one behind.
They were very close yet kept a distance, blending in with the bustling crowd. If you didn't look carefully, you couldn't tell that the two of them were not only in step with each other.
Still communicating with eyes and eyebrows.
The core business district on Christmas Eve was so jam-packed with traffic that the pace was as slow as a snail's.
Ye Zhenzhen felt a little guilty, and she used her soft and gentle manner to speak first: "If I had gotten off work earlier, there wouldn't be such a traffic jam. Are you hungry?"
Wen Baijing remained silent.
"It's my fault. Please don't be angry, okay?" She shook his sleeve and looked aggrieved and humble.
Recently she has suddenly come to her senses and is no longer as rebellious as before.
He was held tightly in his hand.
Wen Baijing turned his head to look at her, his lips curled up in a beautiful arc, his heart melted, "I'm not angry, I'm just worried that you're hungry."
As he said this, he freed his hand to touch the top of her head.
