Just a mont ago, a dozen flashlights that just arrived at the departnt store were snapped up, and the few people who almost got one were imdiately upset.
There was a lot of noisy shouting, demanding an explanation. Huang i thought these people were here to make trouble too, so she imdiately wore a long face.
Making a fuss, always making a fuss, yet she herself wanted a flashlight and hadn’t gotten one yet.
"We’re not buying from you, so mind your own business."
The speaker was a middle-aged man who shoved the obstructing Huang i aside, "Step aside, don’t hold up from buying a flashlight."
With that, and a face full of smiles, he squeezed in front of Su Xiaoxiao: "Sis, I want one too."
Facing a pair of eyes filled with anticipation, Su Xiaoxiao feigned helplessness and said, "My cousin got three flashlights before, why don’t we go with first co, first served?"
Upon hearing there were only three, the crowd imdiately went wild snatching them.
Very quickly, the three flashlights were bought up, and Su Xiaoxiao noted down the addresses of the three people, promising paynt and delivery in three days.
Just as she was about to leave, a young female comrade stopped her.
Huang i looked at Su Xiaoxiao expectantly, "Comrade, I also want a flashlight, can you help ask about it again?"
Upon hearing that, those who were about to leave surrounded them again.
Soone recognized Huang i and was imdiately displeased, "What is a salesgirl doing competing with us for flashlights?"
Huang i, unwilling to back down, glared back, "What’s wrong with being a salesgirl? Salesgirls also have to queue to buy."
Seeing that the crowd was about to start quarreling, Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly smoothed things over: "How about this, you all register first, and if there are any available, I’ll contact you."
Upon hearing there was still a chance, everyone craned their necks to register their information.
In no ti, fifteen people had registered, and Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly halted them: "My cousin can’t get too many at once either, let’s leave it at that for today. I have sothing else to do, so I’ll leave now."
Having finished speaking, she quickly dragged Song Weidong straight to the third-floor office area.
She couldn’t bear it any longer; the flashlights were just too popular.
As soon as they reached upstairs, a middle-aged man blocked their way: "Buying things is downstairs, this is not a place you can co to, off you go, hurry down."
Su Xiaoxiao quickly spoke up, "Hello, we’re here to see Manager Xu from the HR departnt."
The middle-aged man, seeing her poorly dressed appearance, showed disdain: "Is Manager Xu just soone you can et? Eight hundred people want to see Manager Xu every day; I can’t possibly let everyone in."
Su Xiaoxiao: "We really know Manager Xu; look, do you recognize him?"
She pushed Song Weidong forward, thinking that although her influence wasn’t strong, Song Weidong’s influence should be.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she spoke, the middle-aged man sneered, eyeing Song Weidong with contempt, "Off you go, I don’t know him, hurry down, this isn’t a place for you."
Recently, with the departnt store recruitnt exams, many people claid to know Manager Xu to try and get special treatnt, and Manager Xu specifically instructed that no one should be let in regardless of who sought her out.
Seeing these two young people dressed so shabbily, how could they possibly know Manager Xu?
From the bottom of his heart, the man was convinced that these two were just here to seek special treatnt from Manager Xu, and his dislike for them grew.
Unexpectedly, after speaking, he heard Xu Cuilan’s voice from behind: "Weidong, Comrade Su, you’ve co over?"
The expression on the middle-aged man’s face stiffened; he didn’t expect to misjudge, they really did know the leader.
His face turned awkward instantly.
Xu Cuilan glanced at him: "I know these two, let them in."
Having received permission, Song Weidong and Su Xiaoxiao followed Xu Cuilan into the HR manager’s office.
As soon as they entered, Xu Cuilan fixed her gaze on Song Weidong.
"Weidong, Comrade Su’s interview results were indeed replaced, but the other party’s background is a bit troubleso. I might not have enough influence at my level."
Hearing this, Song Weidong frowned: "I’ll go ask my dad for help."
His dad is the departnt store’s director; if he helps, the problem shouldn’t be big.
Unexpectedly, just as Song Weidong was about to go to the director’s office to seek assistance, Xu Cuilan pulled him back.
"Your dad is probably not up to it either. It’s the deputy director of the City Comrce Bureau..."
The City Comrce Bureau is the local managent departnt of the departnt store.
Song Weidong’s father is just the director of the departnt store, and in terms of hierarchy, belongs to a subordinate departnt, indeed not strong enough.
Xu Cuilan thought for a mont and actively offered them a suggestion: "Weidong, how about this: I’ll add Comrade Su’s na, let’s not even try competing for the first place, given their background, competing is futile."
"How can this be? Clearly, Su’s classmate was first."
Song Weidong clenched his fists; no, he absolutely wouldn’t allow this kind of thing to happen.
Su Xiaoxiao, on the other hand, took it lightly. Her ultimate goal was rely to get into the departnt store; the ranking didn’t matter to her.
Seeing Song Weidong even more agitated than herself, she promptly pulled him back: "Classmate Song, as long as I can get into the departnt store, the ranking doesn’t bother ."
As the saying goes, "The shot hits the first bird." Sotis standing out too much isn’t necessarily a good thing.
Su Xiaoxiao was quite satisfied with this result.
After thinking it over, she took a flashlight out of her pocket: "Manager Xu, thank you for your trouble with this matter. This flashlight was brought back for by my cousin from Shanghai; consider it a small token of my appreciation. I hope you won’t mind."
Xu Cuilan didn’t expect Comrade Su to be so generous, gifting the most sought-after flashlight from the departnt store at once.
She had always wanted a flashlight but, in her position, with superiors watching and the public supervising, it was indeed hard to exploit her position for personal gain.
"Thank you, Comrade Su."
Holding the flashlight, Xu Cuilan couldn’t bear to put it down, "If there’s nothing else, you can start work tomorrow."
"In the future, I’ll need to bother Manager Xu for more guidance."
Su Xiaoxiao exchanged a few more polite words with her before dragging Song Weidong away.
On the way, Song Weidong’s face was gloomy, clearly not in a good mood.
"Classmate Su, aren’t you angry that your results were replaced?"
After holding it in for a long ti, Song Weidong finally couldn’t help but ask.
Su Xiaoxiao thought for a mont, "I’m a little angry, but what can I do? After all, I’m just a rural girl without a background. Sotis, when your abilities can’t support your ambitions, you need to keep a low profile and gather strength for future success."
Song Weidong didn’t expect her to say that. He lowered his eyes and quietly watched her for a mont before relaxing his clenched fists, "I understand."
Su Xiaoxiao was a bit confused; what did he understand?
Actually, those words she said just now seed fitting, so she casually said them, but it seed like Classmate Song took them seriously.
She cleared her throat lightly, just about to say sothing when she heard soone calling her na from behind.
