Chapter 82: Chapter 82: Job Orientation Training
"Aren’t I starting work at the department store tomorrow? By then, I’ll definitely be able to buy them."
Liu Cuilan sighed, feeling that the tone of the youngest daughter had become increasingly boastful recently.
She’s just a small salesperson at the department store; how much power can she have?
Agreeing to buy so many stainless steel cups and flashlights today, she’s worried on her behalf.
Forget it, it’s rare for her daughter to be happy; if she really can’t get them, she’ll think of other ways to help.
Su Xiaoxiao didn’t have such worries; after dinner, she went straight to her room.
Sitting cross-legged on the kang, she quickly opened the game mall and ordered one hundred stainless steel cups and flashlights each from it.
Adding to those reserved at the department store, these should be more than enough.
With the reserved items settled, she curiously sketched around in her space, pondering what else she could flip to make money.
As she perused, her eyes fell on the black-and-white television, and her gaze couldn’t tear away.
She had more than enough money now to buy a television.
It’s just that figuring out a reason to bring the TV out was a problem.
Thinking she’d soon start work at the department store, she decided to claim in a bit that the store had internal discounted prices and then bring the TV out.
Having made up her mind, she unhesitatingly ordered a television.
The TV is a large item that can’t be placed in the game backpack, so it had to be stored in the small warehouse.
During this time, she also discovered that the backpack space is limited and can’t store large items, making the small warehouse very useful.
Besides, the small warehouse could also store items from reality, which was simply awesome.
After arranging everything, Su Xiaoxiao went to sleep blissfully.
The next day, she woke up exceptionally early, had breakfast, and rode her bike straight to the city’s department store.
On the way, she encountered Zhang Dongmei struggling miserably to squeeze onto the public bus and provocatively gave her the middle finger.
Zhang Dongmei didn’t understand what the gesture meant but definitely felt it wasn’t anything good.
She rolled her eyes and tilted her head away: "What’s the pride for, in a few days if you can’t get the items, we’ll see how you cry."
She had already inquired that in the coming days, the department store would indeed be getting a new batch of stainless steel cups and flashlights, but the quantity was far less than Su Xiaoxiao had reserved.
In this match, Su Xiaoxiao would undoubtedly lose.
Thinking about Su Xiaoxiao’s regretful look after losing, Zhang Dongmei felt a sense of satisfaction.
Meanwhile, Su Xiaoxiao parked her bike and was ready to walk towards the department store when she was forcefully bumped from behind at the entrance.
Turning her head, it indeed was Zhang Dongmei.
"Childish!"
Su Xiaoxiao scoffed slightly, quickly caught up to her, bumped her with her shoulder, and then stepped hard on her foot without any courtesy.
"Ah, Su Xiaoxiao, my new leather shoes—are you going to pay for ruining them?"
Zhang Dongmei clutched her foot and cried out.
Su Xiaoxiao ignored her and went straight into the department store.
The first week at work mainly involved new employee training.
The content included ideological political education, etiquette training, basic introductions to various goods, and more.
The first and most important thing to learn was etiquette training.
During college, Su Xiaoxiao had worked part-time as an etiquette model for a long time due to her good looks, so she naturally nailed the demeanor aspect.
Besides, such a simple thing is something anyone could learn if they bothered to...
She had just thought this when she saw Zhang Dongmei standing opposite, looking like a soldier ready to die heroically.
Su Xiaoxiao: "..."
Yet someone still believed her performance was outstanding and proudly lifted her chin at Su Xiaoxiao.
Envy, jealousy, she was just that excellent.
Alright, she didn’t count as a person.
Su Xiaoxiao sighed inwardly, but her stomach growled uncontrollably.
She had rushed out in the morning and only had a sorghum muffin.
By now, she was starving, chest sticking to her back.
Fortunately, it was lunchtime.
The department store had its own cafeteria, and employees ate there for free.
At meal time, employees who had been busy all morning couldn’t wait to rush to the cafeteria, fearing they might be late.
Su Xiaoxiao clutched her lunchbox and followed the crowd, and she was practically squeezed inside.
Just entering, she heard a disdainful snort from behind: "Isn’t this one of our department store’s sales clerks? People might mistaken for someone begging."
Su Xiaoxiao turned back to see a young girl dressed in a yellow floral dress, with her hair curled and tied with a matching hairband.
She wore exquisite makeup and stepped on the latest black high heels, looking down on Su Xiaoxiao arrogantly.
Su Xiaoxiao immediately recognized her as Wang Lili, daughter of the department store director’s secretary, Song Weidong’s father.
Zhang Dongmei played the dog leg, chiming in: "Exactly, these days anyone can work at the department store. Lili, you should tell your father, such people are simply ruining our salesperson image."
As she spoke, she gave Su Xiaoxiao a disdainful glare.
Su Xiaoxiao was wearing a light blue floral shirt on top and matching blue trousers below. Although not brand new, they were clean and tidy.
In a hurry to eat, she had no time for their nonsense.
She clutched her lunchbox and headed straight to the food counter.
But after just a few steps, she was blocked by someone—Zhang Dongmei again.
"Who said you could leave? Didn’t you hear us talking to you?"
Su Xiaoxiao turned back, surprised: "Sorry, I thought a dog’s barking was involved."
"Su Xiaoxiao!"
Zhang Dongmei grabbed Su Xiaoxiao’s wrist, lifting to land a slap.
At the next moment, however, her wrist was suddenly seized.
She turned, surprised, coming face-to-face with Song Weidong’s ice-like visage.
"Song Weidong, what are you doing? Let go of me!"
Before the words were fully uttered, she faced Song Weidong’s cold, heavy gaze, and further cursing jammed in her throat.
But Wang Lili’s eyes lit up upon seeing Song Weidong.
"Weidong, you came?"
She coyly approached, "Were you checking on me knowing I work here?"
Song Weidong frowned: "Who are you?"
Only having seen Wang Lili less than three times, he hadn’t remembered her appearance.
"Weidong, hate it when you pretend not to know me—it’s Lili."
This tone full of extreme coyness and posture so pretentious made Su Xiaoxiao shudder with disgust.
She scratched at her goosebumps and watched the braised pork dish get ever emptier, quickly squeezing forward with her lunchbox.
"Su..."
Song Weidong was about to greet Su Xiaoxiao just as she left with her lunchbox and quickly followed but was suddenly grabbed by the arm.
