Su Xiaoxiao glanced at the scarf that resembled Barbie pink and silently turned her gaze away.
Did the two of them coordinate when they bought things? Otherwise, how could they manage to be uniformly ugly every ti?
After a mont of silence, she tactfully said, "Second Brother, I have to go back to my room for sothing, let Mom try it first."
She found an excuse and slipped away.
When the elder and second brothers returned, the atmosphere at ho was especially joyful, and the whole family happily enjoyed a sumptuous dinner together.
After helping her mom clear the table, Su Xiaoxiao turned to call her elder brother Su Wenbing before he headed back to his room.
"Brother, how’s the election for the workshop manager position going at your factory?"
She eagerly approached and asked about the matter she cared most about.
Clearly, he was the one running for election, yet Su Wenbing always felt that his younger sister was more nervous about this workshop manager position than he was.
Su Xiaoxiao was unaware of her brother’s thoughts. If she knew, she would surely answer him, Of course, I’m nervous. If her brother beca the workshop manager, she’d be the manager’s sister, which would be quite prestigious to ntion.
"There are three candidates left, and the final result will probably take another week."
Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao felt a bit downcast. How long does it take to elect a workshop manager? Why does it drag on so much?
But as they say, good things take ti, and this is just a matter of a week. She figured that by the ti she returned from her business trip, the matter would probably be settled.
She silently prayed in her heart, hoping that Xu Xiaowan would perform well.
Just then, there was a sudden knock on the courtyard gate.
Su Xiaoxiao wondered who would co at this hour.
Just as she thought about it, she saw a head peek through the crack in the door.
The person was none other than Chen Tieshan’s little sidekick, who seed to be nad Wang Shengli.
Seeing him, Su Xiaoxiao suddenly thought, Could Chen Tieshan be here to give her money?
Calculating the ti, the previous sewing machine profit should be about due.
Thinking about money coming in, Su Xiaoxiao felt delighted and promptly told her brother before rushing out.
As expected, as soon as she stepped out, she saw Chen Tieshan squatting by the wall.
Chen Tieshan was casually smoking his cigarette rod.
Seeing Su Xiaoxiao co out, he imdiately extinguished the cigarette on the ground and crushed it twice with his toe.
"Brother Chen, why are you coming over so late? Do you have anything for ?"
Being familiar, Su Xiaoxiao got straight to the point without hesitation.
Chen Tieshan took out a thick wad of banknotes from his pocket and handed them to her: "Sis, this is the profit we agreed upon earlier."
Looking at the thick bundle, Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but ask, "Brother Chen, how much are you selling the sewing machines for each?"
Chen Tieshan thought for a mont and didn’t hide it from her: "Two hundred eighty each, no receipts."
This was directly adding a hundred on top of the base price.
She wouldn’t dare to make money that aggressively.
Wow, this group makes more profit on a sewing machine than she, the primary supplier, does.
If she had known, she might have sold them herself on the black market.
But this was just a thought. After all, she was the sales manager at the departnt store now, and it wouldn’t be good for her if people knew she was selling goods on the black market.
After settling all the profits with Su Xiaoxiao, Chen Tieshan didn’t leave imdiately, but seed to want to say more.
Seeing him like this, Su Xiaoxiao directly said, "Brother Chen, we are all family, if you have sothing, just say it."
Chen Tieshan thought for a while and nodded: "Alright, Sis, I won’t be polite then. Could you give a few more packs of that snail noodles you got last ti?"
During his first taste, he found it quite repulsive, but one bite changed his mind, and he beca addicted.
The stuff slls terrible but tastes delicious, and the more he ate, the more he craved it.
Unfortunately, last ti, Su Xiaoxiao only gave him two packs, which were far from enough.
"Sis, how much is it per pack? I’ll buy it from you."
As he spoke, Chen Tieshan pulled out a few more banknotes.
Su Xiaoxiao quickly waved her hand; he had already delivered so much profit, she wasn’t the kind of person to be stingy.
Besides, they were practically sworn siblings now.
"Brother Chen, we are family. You don’t need to be so exact with these things, or else you really don’t regard as your sister."
Chen Tieshan quickly shook his head: "No way, Sis, it’s just that I know making money is tough for you, how could I keep taking from you for free? What kind of person would I be?"
"It’s nothing valuable, Brother Chen, wait here a mont, I’ll go inside and get it for you."
Su Xiaoxiao said as she quickly turned and ran into the yard.
Those things were stored in her space warehouse; she was just making an excuse to take them out.
Seeing Su Xiaoxiao co back with several packs of snail noodles, Chen Tieshan felt deeply touched.
Look, no one is as good as his sister.
"Brother Chen, have you eaten? If not, co inside and have sothing to eat."
Finishing the business, Su Xiaoxiao enthusiastically extended an invitation.
"No need, Sis, we ate before coming; if there’s nothing more, we’ll head off first."
Chen Tieshan quickly responded, as they had other tasks to attend to, delivering money was just on their way.
Seeing they were determined to leave, Su Xiaoxiao didn’t insist, "Alright, Brother Chen, let see you out."
The group walked toward the exit, chatting rrily.
As they passed by the village brigade gate, Su Xiaoxiao suddenly heard soone call her na, and turning her head, she saw a round-faced woman eagerly waving at her.
"Xiaoxiao, are you here for the literacy class? I have a spot here, co sit next to ."
The woman’s enthusiasm toward her was like a dog seeing a bone.
Su Xiaoxiao thought for a long ti but couldn’t recall who she was.
Luckily, the other party started introducing herself.
"Xiaoxiao, surely you haven’t forgotten ? We were desk mates in elentary school."
"Of course I haven’t forgotten. Wang Jingjing, right?"
To her surprise, the other beca strangely silent after she spoke.
"Sorry, my mory’s poor, are you Zhou Juan?"
The other’s face looked even more sour: "Su Xiaoxiao, are you doing this on purpose? Just because I took a piece of rubber from you in third grade and a pencil in fourth, you have to hold a grudge for so long?"
Su Xiaoxiao: "..."
How is that for holding onto resentnt?
Just then, a piece of chalk suddenly hit Su Xiaoxiao’s forehead.
The chalk landed precisely, aid directly at her.
"Laughing and giggling during class, what does it look like? You may not want to learn, but others do."
Zhang Dongi clapped the blackboard eraser onto the desk, making a crisp sound. She looked at Su Xiaoxiao with displeasure.
The sky cleared, the rain stopped, and she felt she could do anything again.
"Su Xiaoxiao, if you don’t strive for improvent yourself, don’t disrupt our literacy class students. If you aren’t attending, then stay away."
Zhang Dongi still harbored resentnt over Su Xiaoxiao getting the manager to send her back for reflection, just seeing her made her angry, she almost wanted to pounce on her and tear her apart.
