"Oh, Xiaxia, you’re just too unreliable. You promised to help me pick things out... Okay, okay, I get it, Deputy Minister Qin is the most important, and I’m just an unwanted weed... Fine, we’ll agree on this: you owe me a meal to make up for it... Consider yourself lucky, I’ll let you off this time..."
In the factory director’s office, Secretary Xiao Sun held a report, listening to the director on the phone with a smile waiting on his face.
Once the director hung up, Xiao Sun jokingly asked, "Director Wang, were you talking to Mr. Lin?"
Wang Tianxue sighed, "Don’t even mention it. Yes, it’s that heartless person."
She took the report Xiao Sun handed her, glanced over it, and signed her name.
Xiao Sun smiled and said nothing more but felt envious of the director’s relationship with Mr. Lin.
It’s said that Director Wang and Mr. Lin met by chance, hit it off, became good friends, and went on to open Xiyang Clothing Mall and founded Xiyang Clothing Factory together.
Director Wang often says Mr. Lin is her benefactor. Meeting such a benefactor in a lifetime is a blessing cultivated over many lifetimes.
After Xiao Sun left the office, Wang Tianxue picked up her bag and left the office as well.
The things she had agreed with Lin Chuxia no longer mattered, but some things still needed to be done.
She rode her bicycle to the department store.
Her new home was newly renovated, and the large pieces of furniture had been mostly bought, but she still needed some household items, especially for the kitchen.
Previously, Lin Chuxia had promised to come shopping with her.
After the market opened up, the department store’s business became more and more desolate. A couple of years ago, the department store subcontracted its stalls to individuals.
Nowadays, the department store looks more like a marketplace with multiple stalls, a bit chaotic but offering more choices.
Wang Tianxue walked around shopping for the things she needed, and soon she was carrying quite a few bags.
When she passed a stall, she immediately noticed a beige storage cabinet on display.
The cabinet was about a meter high, with shelves to store dishes and space on top for other items.
It was exactly what her kitchen was missing.
"Boss, how much for this cabinet?"
"Comrade, what’s the price for this cabinet?"
Two voices spoke at the same time.
Wang Tianxue turned her head and saw the other person doing the same.
"It’s you?"
"Brother He, you’re here to buy things too?"
He JianShe nodded with a smile, "There are still some things missing in the house assigned by the unit, so I thought I’d buy some. Haven’t you finished furnishing yours yet?"
He had heard that this woman had just renovated her house when he was at his junior sister’s place some time ago.
Wang Tianxue looked a bit troubled at the small cabinet. It was the only one in the whole store, and she had rarely found one that caught her eye like this.
Though reluctant, she said, "Brother He, do you like this small cabinet? Then..."
He JianShe’s smile grew wider.
Clearly unhappy but still generously offering it, it didn’t seem in her nature to suffer losses.
Probably for the sake of his junior sister.
"It’s not a must-have for me; I just think it’s acceptable. If you like it, you can take it."
"Thank you so much, Brother He," Wang Tianxue beamed with joy.
After asking the boss for the price, the small cabinet wasn’t too expensive, but Wang Tianxue still bargained with the boss.
The boss was shrewd, knowing that both of them were interested in the cabinet, which meant it was in demand.
"With that price reduction, I can’t sell it to you. At 40 dollars, I can’t even cover costs. You can look elsewhere," he rejected Wang Tianxue and then looked at He JianShe, "This comrade seems less fussy than a woman. I hate bargaining with women. Here, 50 dollars and you take it, we can be friends."
