Urban Life: Our Youth

"Okay, I'll scan it for you." I thought that the second-hand computer was worth at most 1000 yuan, and the old printer was worth 800 yuan. The two items added together were worth 2000 yuan, but I didn't expect that they would ask for it. Three thousand, out of sympathy and embarrassed to bargain, I gritted my teeth and paid him.

"Okay, welcome to come again next time." Chen Zhijun said.

"Okay, bye." I forced a smile.

I drove the printer and computer to the store.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Lanlan said: "Li Shaozhe, my Mr. Li, what are these things you bought? These junk goods affect the image too much. The counter was originally dilapidated, and now the computers and printers are old. The locations of these two counters are already out of the way, and now the image is so bad, will there be good business? Don't blame me if you can't sell mobile phones."

"Let's make do with it for the time being, and then buy a new one when we make money later." I said.

"I heard people say that the image of a business is very important. Do you know? Those gold and jewelry stores change their counters almost every year. Those counters are very new, why do they have to change them again? Just to further enhance their image. , which makes the products inside the counter look refined and high-end. Think about it, your office equipment and counters are so shabby, how can people believe in your strength? The mobile phones you sell are obviously branded and authentic , others may think you are selling counterfeit goods.”

"I understand what you're saying, but money is a hard commodity. Don't look down upon it. These two items together cost 3000 yuan."

"My Mr. Li, can you stop bluffing me? These two pieces of crap cost so much! Give me 1000 yuan and I can buy them for you. They are even more expensive than yours." New, three thousand more!”

"I bought it all, why are you talking about it now? It's all hindsight."

"Then you didn't tell me beforehand."

"If you want to buy it next time, I'll tell you first, okay." Hearing Zhao Lanlan say this, I felt even more panicked.

"Then you just watch here, I'm going to get off work."

"Didn't you just come here? You're leaving so soon!"

"It's already time. If you don't want me to go back and want me to work overtime here at noon, that's fine. Then you can send me a 50-yuan red envelope and I'll order takeout." Zhao Lanlan said.

"Okay, you add my WeChat account and I'll send you a red envelope."

"Thank you, Mr. Li." Zhao Lanlan accepted the red envelope and smiled happily.

In fact, I know that 30 yuan is enough for her to order fellow chicken. In this way, she can still earn 20 yuan extra.

"Then you are on duty here at noon, so be careful." I said.

"Don't worry, as a living person like me is sitting here, will I still be missing something?" Zhao Lanlan said, "Are you afraid that I will leave my post without permission?"

"How do I mean that?"

"Then what do you mean?"

"I heard that thieves are very clever nowadays, and they can get into trouble if they are not careful. Therefore, I would like to remind you to be careful."

"No matter how good a thief he is, he wouldn't dare to steal my things in broad daylight. Don't worry, these ten mobile phones are placed here. If one is missing, I will compensate you."

"I don't want you to compensate me for anything. Indeed, the salary I offer you is not high. I want to remind you that you must not have the intention to harm others and be on guard against others. If something is missing, no matter what Whether you pay compensation to the company or I pay compensation to the company, neither is the result I want to see."
