Siheyuan: Fishing for All Things

There are four major department stores in the old city, Dafang Department Store, Xinjiekou Department Store, Yong'an Road Department Store and Hufangqiao Department Store. These four department stores were very popular and almost became the place where everyone yearned for.

Moreover, the salesmen inside were all arrogant and would not even raise their heads when they saw customers.

Above the four major department stores, there is another store.

That is the legendary Friendship Store.

The Friendship Store is very special. It is so special that it does not accept Huaxia currency. Or rather, some goods do not accept Huaxia currency, but accept foreign exchange coupons. However, those that accept foreign exchange coupons are all good things, including antiques, calligraphy and paintings.

As for TVs and watches... I don't even want to mention them.

Lin Shaowen is not so arrogant as to go to the Friendship Store to spend money. Although he has caught a lot of foreign exchange coupons, he still dares not... After all, it is too sensitive.

Xinjiekou Department Store.

Ran Qiuye almost bit off her tongue when she saw the dazzling array of goods and the extremely high prices. Just a cashmere coat costs about 136 yuan, which is her five-month salary.

"Shao Wen, why don't we go to another place."

"What's wrong?" Lin Shao Wen said with his head tilted.

"The price is too high." Ran Qiu Ye pulled the corner of his clothes, "Let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative to have a look..."

"It doesn't matter, we have to eat dumplings all year round." Lin Shao Wen smiled, "and we don't have to buy, just take a look to broaden our horizons."

"Then... let's make a deal first, we only look but don't buy." Ran Qiu Ye said with a stern face.

"Let's take a look first."

After Lin Shao Wen laughed, he took her for a stroll.

But at this time, a burly man came over and patted his shoulder.

"Ah, uncle, why are you here?" Lin Shao Wen said in surprise.

"I'm the manager here, okay?" Cai Shenxu glanced at Ran Qiuye, gently hit him, and whispered, "What are you doing? Be careful that my brother-in-law will tear you down."

"Uncle, you won't do that, will you?" Lin Shaowen said in panic.

"Okay, you can't even pretend." Cai Shenxu laughed, "If there is really a relationship, how dare you bring it out so blatantly?"

"Hahaha."

Lin Shaowen also laughed and introduced, "This is our neighbor in the courtyard, Ran Qiuye, a primary school teacher... This is my uncle, Cai Shenxu, Manager Cai."

"Hello, Manager Cai." Ran Qiuye said politely.

"Hello, Teacher Ran." Cai Shenxu nodded and put his arm around Lin Shaowen's shoulders, "Tell me what you like, and I'll go to the main desk to get you a ticket. I know you have money... but you can't spend money like this."

"What's the point?" Lin Shaowen asked curiously.

"Last time you sent a TV to my family and Lin Gang's family, we were checked over and over again... In the end, it was Minister Xu who came forward to guarantee that there was no problem with the source of the TV tickets, and the matter was settled."

Cai Shenxu sighed, "You and Xiaoyu are too young and act rashly... Our positions are very sensitive, and some things cannot be taken home just by saying they are sent."

"There is such a thing?" Lin Shaowen was shocked.

He really didn't know that Zhang Xiaoyu sent a TV to Lin Gang and Cai Shenxu.

"Don't underestimate our small department store. The elements inside are too complicated." Cai Shenxu lowered his voice and said, "Maybe there is someone behind them. If this matter is mentioned casually, you can wait for investigation."

"Okay, I listen to you."

Lin Shaowen hurriedly said, "Help me get a watch, a bicycle, a wool coat... 20 pieces, oh, and a Dacron shirt? This is a good thing, 20 pieces too."

"Are you crazy?" Cai Shenxu looked at him as if he had seen a ghost, "I know you are rich, but you can't live like this?"

"You can make it back even if you spend all your money." Lin Shaowen laughed.

"You..."

Cai Shenxu was about to say something when a young man suddenly came over.

He immediately restrained his expression and put on a majestic look.

"Manager Cai..."

"Manager Hou, it's my shift now, where are you going?"

"I'm just taking a look."

Manager Hou glanced at Ran Qiuye casually, then moved his eyes to Lin Shaowen, and couldn't help trembling, "Lin... Brother Lin?"

"You are..."

Lin Shaowen tried to recall, and then he was surprised, "Aren't you the monkey following behind Jie Hongjun?"

"Ahem... Brother Lin, this is my unit, how can I not call you by a nickname." Manager Hou said with a bitter face.

"But I don't know your name." Lin Shaowen said helplessly.

"Brother Lin, my name is Hou Jie, and I'm the deputy manager of the department store." Manager Hou said seriously.

"YouDo you know each other?" Cai Shenxu looked at Lin Shaowen.

"Of course I don't know him." Hou Jie said helplessly, "I was almost kicked to death by Brother Lin last time. I went back and lay down for three days before I recovered..."

"This..."

Cai Shenxu looked at Lin Shaowen with a puzzled look.

Hou Jie has a good background, and he was born in a courtyard.

Otherwise, he would not have been the deputy general manager of a department store at such a young age. Such a person was almost beaten to death by Lin Shaowen?

"Let's not talk about the past." Lin Shaowen waved his hand and said, "You are doing well, the deputy manager must be a section-level cadre, right?"

"Deputy section, deputy section..." Hou Jie said hurriedly, "Brother Lin, I heard that you beat Du Wenbo up?"

"What do you mean by beating up? It was just a sparring match." Lin Shaowen said lightly.

"I heard that Du Wenbo was beaten by you so hard that he couldn't get out of bed. A few days later, he was sent to the army by Minister Du. ”

Hou Jie looked like he was telling you not to lie to me.

“It’s not true.” Lin Shaowen said angrily, “Who the hell spread such a rumor? Be careful that Du Wenbo will come to settle accounts with you after he retires from the army.”

“I heard it, I heard it.”

Hou Jie immediately shrank his neck.

It seems that he is beaten by Du Wenbo often.

“This is not a place to talk. Let’s go to the office.” Cai Shenxu suggested.

“Okay.”

Lin Shaowen followed suit.

Hou Jie hesitated for a moment, but still followed him.

In the office.

After pouring a few cups of tea, Cai Shenxu looked at Lin Shaowen, “You want so many things, it’s really hard for me to pay for them... unless there is a certificate from the unit.”

“Brother Lin, what do you want to buy?” Hou Jie asked curiously, “It doesn’t matter if there are a lot of things. I can help you, but you have to pay for it yourself. My salary is not very high.”

“It’s a small matter. "

Lin Shaowen took the paper on the table and wrote a list.

"Wow, this must be several thousand dollars in total?" Hou Jie looked at him in surprise, "No wonder Brother Hongjun said we were just a small fight... In terms of ability, none of us can compare to you."

"Bullshit." Lin Shaowen laughed and scolded, "At least I dare not take a group of people to Lao Mo..."

"Brother Lin, can you not mention these things?" Hou Jie said with a bitter face, "Because of Lao Mo, we were all scolded by our family, and Brother Hongjun was directly put in solitary confinement."

"There is such a thing?"

Lin Shaowen was immediately happy.
