Financial management lost the house and then lost the supermarket, a series of setbacks.
These two months are the bleakest days in the lives of Xu Minli and her husband Cui Zhishen.
But it is Cui Zhishen’s friend Huang Dong’s brightest days.
Small supermarkets have tens of thousands of daily water flow, net profit of two or three thousand, a month easily sit on the income of 70,000 to 80,000 yuan.
In Shimen City, where the average wage is only three thousand yuan, this income is already very high.
Looking at the shop to select goods customers crowded, Huang Dong sitting in the boss chair leisurely drinking tea smile constantly.
Until he saw Xu Minli appear at the door with a young man, the smile at the corner of Huang Dong’s mouth hastily closed.
“Yo! What wind has blown sister-in-law here today.”Huang Dong rose from his seat to greet Xu Minli.
Huang Dong and Cui Zhishen were the same age, but the month was older, and on weekdays, Xu Minli and Cui Zhishen called him Brother Shengdong when they met.
This time Huang Dong can righteously take out half a million to Cui Zhishen emergency, these years of Dong is not called in vain.
The few employees helping out in the mini-mart also greeted Xu Minli when they saw their former boss.
“How has Sister Li been recently? What are you busy with.”
“Sister Li has time to come round often.”
“Sister Li ……”
After all, they were colleagues who used to work together, and there were a lot of things they wanted to say after not seeing each other for a few days.
XuMinLi operating supermarket when they are also good, the supermarket to HuangDong operation also had repeatedly urged him not to dismiss these old employees.
Huang Dong saw this group of old employees to see XuMinLi that share of cordiality, not too comfortable in the eyes of the heart, but on the face of the face to keep very good, just smile a little not to go to the heart.
This group of employees were also not so enthusiastic towards themselves as their boss, and now they were their bosses, paying their wages.
“Ya! Old Xu, you’ve lost a lot of weight in this period of time!”
“Min Li ah, when you have time, go to my house and sit with me.”
There were many old customers shopping in the shop, and when they saw Xu Minli, they also greeted her.
Whether it was the shop assistant or the old customers, none of them greeted Wu Jun, they just glanced at him hastily and turned back to look at him no more.
The current Wu and the small supermarket boss Wu’s temperament is a world of difference.
Others didn’t greet him because they didn’t recognise him, he had changed too much.
Wu Jun also did not take the initiative to greet the old customers, he left the Tianyuan district has been more than a year, before those old customers he is still familiar with, but already can not call up the name of who.
Wu Jun’s eyes and nose, his eyes intentionally or unintentionally on Huang Dong.
As if feeling Wu Jun’s scrutinising gaze, Huang Dong also raised his eyes to look at him, and the two of them immediately separated when their eyes touched for a moment.
“It’s been quite good lately, thank you all for your concern, I will definitely go and sit down when I have time.”After nodding her head in response to the crowd, Xu Minli looked towards Huang Dong and asked, “I’m sorry, Brother Dong, I didn’t disturb your business, right?”
“Not disturbing, not disturbing, sister-in-law ah, what is there to say let’s go out and talk.”Huang Dong’s mouth said that he was not disturbing, but his actions were driving people out.
Huang Dong stood up from the boss chair, reached out from the counter and took out half a packet of Yuxi cigarettes and lighter, waved his hand and signalled Xu Minli and Wu Jun to go outside the mini-mart.
Wu Jun frowned slightly, feeling that his own guess is most likely to be fulfilled, the person surnamed Huang is not like a good person.
XuMinLi also from HuangDong talking attitude feel and past not quite the same taste, that is a kind of intentionally distant taste.
Three people out of the small supermarket, Huang Dong in front, Wu Jun and Xu Minli followed.
Out of the small supermarket, and walked out for a while, the three finally stopped in a fitness centre built in the district.
Said to be a fitness centre, in fact, it was an open-air place with some simple fitness equipment.
There were more people in the summer, but at this moment in the cold winter months, there was not a single person.
“Did sister-in-law come over today specifically to look for me? Is there anything?”Huang Dong held a cigarette roll in his hand as he looked towards Xu Minli and asked.
“It’s like this Brother Dong, I have a doorway here for that 500,000 we owe you.”When XuMinLi said something, she glanced at WuJun next to her, after seeing WuJun nodding, she had a plan in her heart, and continued: “So I came here to find you to re-sign a transfer agreement, I’ll give you the money that I borrowed from you, and you’ll give the supermarket back to ZhiShen and I. Of course, the interest for this period of time will also be given to you.”
Huang Dong’s gaze spun around Wu Jun and Xu Minli, looking towards Xu Minli and asked, “Sister-in-law ah, you came to me today, does Zhishen know about this? How come he didn’t come along?”
Xu Min Li said, “I haven’t spoken to Zhi Shen yet, it’s just as well to tell him later, Brother Dong you see ……”
After Xu Minli finished her sentence, her gaze was full of anticipation as she looked towards Huang Dong, waiting for him to agree.
Huang Dong did not respond at first, inhaled a mouthful of smoke fiercely, and said with a sullen face, “Sister-in-law ah, you’re making it very difficult for me!”
Xu Minli accompanied a smile and said, “It is indeed Zhishen and I who have caused trouble for Brother Dong, you take it easy.”
“Sibling ah, it’s not a matter of treating or not treating! There is no such thing as you guys doing things like this!”
Huang Dong looked annoyed as he threw his cigarette onto the ground and stepped on it a few times, looking towards Xu Minli, he said, “I say, sister-in-law, we have to be conscientious! At first Zhishen was patting his chest to guarantee with me, said that the small supermarket is my future, I am willing to operate until when to operate until when.”
“It is also with the Zhishen this sentence, I have a heart to sell my several lorries to your family to get the money, you now this is not over the river to tear down the bridge?”
“What’s the use of returning the money to me? I’ve lost my previous business for such a long time, it’s long since been divided up by other peers, and now you’re suddenly unilaterally trying to take the supermarket back, so what am I going to do in the future!”
“No, Brother Dong, I told you clearly in the beginning ah, when we gather the money to pay you back later, the supermarket is still ours.”Xu Minli froze for a moment after hearing Huang Dong’s words, and the look on her face was unprecedentedly tense.
Huang Dong re-lighted a cigarette, looked at Xu Minli, slowly said: “If it is not Zhishen promised to permanently transfer the right to operate the supermarket to me, non-relative I will agree to help him raise 500,000? Would have sold the car for his sake?”
“Brother Dong, isn’t there some kind of misunderstanding in between?”Xu Minli said with a nervous face, “Why don’t you wait for me, I’ll go home and look at the contract that I signed at that time.”
Things were developing in the direction that Wu Jun expected, beyond Xu Minli’s expectations, making her even more nervous.
Originally, she thought that she could get the supermarket back as long as she paid back the money, listening to Huang Dong, it was obviously unlikely.
This unanticipated situation made Xu Minli’s heart begin to drum.
“Sibling ah, it seems that there are some things that until now you have been kept in the dark ah?”Huang Dong’s attitude suddenly made a hundred and eighty degree turn, looking at Xu Min Li with a gaze full of pity.
Wu Jun was also amazed as he watched from the sidelines, Huang Dong’s speed of changing his face was too fast.
One second, he was like a scoundrel and a rascal, but the next second, he became a good man.
Xu Minli looked at Huang Dong with an apprehensive face and asked, “Brother Dong, you, what do you mean by that?”
Huang Dong said bluntly, “Sibling, to tell you the truth, that contract you signed with me behind you does not have any legal effect and is nothing more than a piece of scrap paper, just to give you a comfort.”
“Give me a comfort? A piece of scrap paper?”Xu Min Li’s expression tensed to the extreme, “Brother Dong, what do you mean by that again?”
Wu Jun’s frown also grew deeper and deeper as he looked at Huang Dong with a puzzled expression, waiting for his explanation.
Huang Dong met Xu Min Li’s gaze and explained, “When I signed the supermarket transfer agreement with you, the supermarket was already mine, three days ago, Zhi Shen and I signed another contract, that contract is in the shop, if you want to see it, I’ll show it to you.”
“What! You guys, you guys, Zhi Shen and you signed another contract!”Xu Minli’s eyes widened in surprise and disbelief when she heard Huang Dong’s explanation.
Huang Dong was smoking a cigarette with a mouthful of smoke, Xu Minli’s reaction was all within his expectation.
Wu Jun also could not help but ask, “Mr Huang, are you serious?”
Huang Dong looked at Wu Jun and said, “Young man, do you think I would joke about something like this?”
Wu Jun stared at Huang Dong’s eyes for a few seconds, he looked as usual without the slightest hint of hiding, he really did not look like he was joking.
Xu Minli raised her eyes to Huang Dong and said breathlessly, “Brother Dong, show me the contract, I want to see ……”
“Wait for me here for a while, I will go and come.”Huang Dong put down a sentence and turned in the direction of the mini-mart.
After Huang Dong left, only Wu Jun and Xu Minli were left in the fitness centre.
Before things were confirmed, Wu Jun was not in a good position to say anything, pulling out a cigarette from his pocket and lighting it up, gulping it down on the side.
XuMinLi face dishevelled sitting to the side of a sit-up machine above, reach out from the pocket to take out a mobile phone, find the “old Cui” phone dialled over.
“Hello, the number you have dialled is switched off, please dial again later.”
“Hello, the number you have dialled is switched off, please dial again later.”
“……”
Wu Jun, after hearing the tone coming out of Xu Minli’s phone from the side, frowned, feeling that it wasn’t quite normal.
Nowadays, the battery capacity of mobile phones is getting bigger and bigger, most of them can last until they go home to charge at night.
It was rare to have this kind of prompt to switch off the phone in the middle of the day.
“How did it turn off, how did it turn off in broad daylight! Quickly pick up the phone ah!”XuMinLi two hands trembling to find “old cui” phone, dialled out again.
“Hello, the phone you dialled is switched off, please dial again later.”
The phone is still switched off.
Xu Minli couldn’t sit still and stood up from the sit-up machine, anxious.
“Big sister, don’t be anxious first, it might be Old Cui’s mobile phone in his pocket accidentally touched the switch key and switched off.”Wu Jun turned around and opened to look at Xu Min Li, after comforting her, he asked, “Was there anything unusual when Old Cui went out this morning?”
“He’s not in the country right now.”XuMinLi two hands cross fingers fast twisted into a stream of messy hemp, upset, “the day before yesterday, their company side has a single benzene side of the business out of a small problem, he took people travelling to benzene.”
Wu Jun frowned and said, “Big sister has contacted him in the past two days?”
XuMinLi shook her head and said, “No, since the home out of these messy things, we two three days a big noise, two days a small noise, he travelled to Jiben to find a quiet, just I also quiet, these two days we both who did not contact anyone.”
“Like this ah ……” Wu Jun frowned, feeling like something was wrong with the couple’s relationship.
Could it be the legendary mid-life crisis?
While the two of them were talking, Huang Dong went and returned with an extra contract in his hand.
XuMinLi received HuangDong brought and contract read, face become incomparably ugly.
Party A and Party B of the contract are Cui Zhishen and Huang Dong respectively.
The date of signing this contract was one week before the contract signed by Xu Minli and Huang Dong.
That is to say, a week ago, Cui Zhishen already from Huang Dong here to get a huge amount of 500,000, and do the Lord of the supermarket’s permanent right to operate to Huang Dong.
In this way, the contract that Xu Minli later signed with Huang Dong, as he said, was equivalent to a piece of waste paper and did not have any legal effect.
“Why, why would this be, old Cui why he lied to me ……” XuMinLi see the contract, has been in tears, feel even the most basic trust between husband and wife are gone.
The mini-mart belonged to someone else a few months ago, he was kept in the dark like a fool, and to this day he is still trying to find ways to raise money to redeem the supermarket.
Huang Dong looked at Xu Minli with a sympathetic face and asked, “Sibling ah, did you and Zhishen talk on the phone in the past two days?”
“No, no.”Xu Minli shook her head and spoke with a voice that seemed a little breathless.
XuMinLi at this moment’s state, see WuJun heart is not taste, last time we met, she is still a look of spirited, this is only in the past how long, become so downcast, completely is two extremes.
XuMinLi at the moment mood is very messy, did not notice HuangDong asked her words expression.
Wu Jun on the sidelines all see in the eyes, he felt that Huang Dong this sentence is not like a casual question, always feel as if he has something in his words.
Wu Jun asked tentatively, ”Mr Huang, do you know something inside? I also hope to tell you straight.”
“Which one are you?”Huang Dong looked towards Wu Jun with a puzzled expression.
After Xu Minli came back to her senses, she hurriedly introduced Wu Jun and said, “Brother Dong, this is my younger brother Wu, not an outsider, I am really sorry, just now I only cared to ask about the supermarket, I forgot to introduce you two to get to know each other, this supermarket used to be Xiao Wu’s.”
“So it’s General Manager Wu’s great visit! Disrespectful!”After Huang Dong heard Xu Minli’s introduction to Wu Jun, his attitude turned 180 degrees again, and he eagerly reached out to shake hands with Wu Jun.
Although Huang Dong has never seen Wu Jun in person, but Wu Jun’s big name has long been heard.
The reason why the business of the small supermarket he is now operating is booming, cannot be separated from this Wu Jun’s two products, one is Hongyun rice, one is Junheng 98 and Junheng 998 series of white wine.
These two hot explosive products, a small supermarket hidden in the district into a “super shop”.
If not for the two products of the regional agency rights, not to mention the transfer fee of 500,000 yuan, 50,000 yuan Huang Dong feel expensive.
