Chapter 2057

Seeing Gu Baichuan making a private claim, Xiao Xiaofang slapped Gu Baichuan on the back, and said angrily, "Honey, what are you doing today?"

"Happy, my son is promising, why don't I give back to the society?" Gu Baichuan's reason was fresh and refined.

Hearing this, Zhang Jingde hurriedly asked Gu Baichuan: "Then my cigarette?"

"Cigarettes are not promotional items, only promotional items are 40% off. You can choose whatever you want, old Zhang." Although Gu Baichuan was bold, he was not stupid.

Zhang Jingde frowned: "How boring is this?"

"Haha." Seeing that Zhang Jingde was still serious, Gu Baichuan immediately walked to the counter, took out a pack of Zhang Jingde's favorite cigarettes, and stuffed it directly into Zhang Jingde's hand, also gratefully said:

"Old Zhang, your nephew Gu Chen has become the acting deputy director of the sub-bureau, and you, as an uncle, are also honored."

"Of course, this is also inseparable from your training of my Gu Chen over the years."

Looking at the cigarettes stuffed into Zhang Jingde's hand, Gu Baichuan said again: "This pack of cigarettes is for you."

"Hey, that's interesting enough." Seeing Gu Baichuan being so forthright, Zhang Jingde was immediately elated.

The main thing is to be happy for Gu Chen. After all, Gu Chen has been staying with him in the police station since he was a child, and he has been watching him grow up.

Now Gu Chen is the acting deputy director of the Furong branch, and as an uncle, he also has more face in the unit.

Generally speaking, Gu Chen is not only giving face to Gu's parents, but also giving face to himself.

All of a sudden, several employees in the store gathered around to congratulate Gu Chen on his promotion.

And Gu Baichuan was not stingy, and immediately gave everyone some gifts.

For a while, the entrance of the non-staple food supermarket in the whole happy community was very lively.

Seeing that the clerk changed the previously written 20% off, he immediately changed it to 40% off.

Many passing neighbors were also instantly attracted by the discount.

An old lady asked, "Eh? Boss Gu, your family usually sells products with a 20% discount. Why did you change to 40% off today? Say, is it an expired product?"

"Hey!" Seeing that the old lady was serious, Gu Baichuan explained happily:

"I said, Aunt Wang, when have you seen me, Gu Baichuan, selling expired products? But even if I throw expired products into the trash can, I will never sell them to you."

"Well, that's true. You old Gu has been in business for so many years, and it's all business with conscience." After getting Gu Baichuan's affirmation, Aunt Wang asked again:

"But what do you mean by the 40% discount? Is this a big bargain? Are you willing to let blood out? Anyway, I don't believe it."

Everyone in business knows that it is certain to be stingy, and it is normal to be preoccupied.

The products that have been on sale for 20% off all year round are suddenly sold at 40% off for an unprecedented 40% off today. The old lady wants to buy it, and she wants to be greedy for this cheap price, but she has no idea.

Xiao Xiaofang was about to explain the truth, but was interrupted by Gu Baichuan: "This is not to thank all the neighbors for taking care of our Gu family's business for many years."

"No, my son Gu Chen has just been promoted to be the acting deputy director of the Furong branch. As a father, I should thank everyone."

"What?"

"Gu Chen? Acting deputy director?"

The few aunts who followed Aunt Wang before heard what Gu Baichuan said, and their jaws almost dropped in shock.

Seeing the young Gu Chen standing in the store, everyone's eyes widened, and it felt a little unreal for an instant.

"Gu Chen is so young, he has only been working for a few years? How did he become the deputy director?" said a tall and thin aunt.

"It's the acting deputy director, not the deputy director." Another chubby middle-aged woman also reminded.

Gu Baichuan was upset when he heard that, so he hurriedly reminded him: "Isn't that the case if you act as an agent or not?"

"Acting is a transition. Once the transition period is over, isn't it the deputy director?"

"Really? Old Gu, don't you joke with me?" Aunt Wang felt that Gu Baichuan was doing business in a regular manner, and he didn't look like a liar.

But Gu Chen can become the acting deputy director of the Furong branch at a young age, Aunt Wang somewhat does not believe it.

Seeing Aunt Wang's suspicious tone, Gu Baichuan immediately pushed Zhang Jingde to him, pointed at Zhang Jingde and testified:

"If you don't believe me, you should trust Zhang Jingde, right? He is also a policeman, so ask him."

When the neighbors heard the words, they immediately turned their eyes to Zhang Jingde.

Zhang Jingde also couldn't laugh or cry, he could only nod and admit:

"That's right, the son of the old Gu's family, Gu Chen, I have seen my eldest nephew since I was a child, and he is now the acting deputy director of the Furong branch. When I see Gu Chen in the future, I have to call him Bureau Gu."

"Snapped!"

Hearing what Zhang Jingde said, Gu Baichuan slapped Zhang Jingde on the shoulder, showing off to everyone:

"Did you hear that? Everyone, when did I, Gu Baichuan, lie to you? My son Gu Chen has become a big leader. I am happy today. The original 20% off promotional products are all sold at 40% off today. We will continue to sell them until they are sold out. Thank you for your support." ..."

Before Gu Baichuan finished his polite words here, the neighbors immediately gathered around Gu Chen, congratulating him.

Then they rushed to the promotional display rack at the door, and began to frantically snap up promotional products.

Many people also picked up their mobile phones, made calls, and quickly informed their neighbors about the big promotions in non-staple food supermarkets.

Not long after, the entrance of the entire non-staple food supermarket was also overcrowded and lively.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Jingde was also delighted and said: "Old Gu, your Gu family will be prosperous in the future. With Gu Chen as a god, the future will be better and better."

"Oh, of course." Hearing Zhang Jingde's compliment, Gu Baichuan enjoyed the achievement brought by his son very much.

He also looked left and right in the store, and couldn't help but say: "Oh, I think this store should also be renovated, the image needs to be upgraded, and the decoration style needs to be changed."

"I didn't pay much attention to this before, but now that my son has become a big leader, why don't we redecorate the store?"

"Don't be so troublesome, right?" Seeing Gu Baichuan go through all kinds of troubles, Gu Chen felt a little confused:

"Dad, I just became the acting deputy director of the sub-bureau, and you are spreading the word all over the world. Isn't that a little bad? It's better to keep a low profile and stop talking nonsense."

"That's right, don't waste our son." Xiao Xiaofang agreed with Gu Chen's low-key attitude, looked left and right, and said casually:

"How about hanging a calligraphy and painting behind our counter? It always feels empty behind this counter."

Hearing the advice from his wife and son, Gu Baichuan was still in high spirits at the moment, so he immediately agreed, "Okay, then hang a calligraphy and painting, my name is Gu Baichuan, how about hanging a 'Hai Na Bai Chuan'?"

After the words fell, Gu Baichuan looked at everyone.

Zhang Jingde couldn't help laughing out loud, but also waved his hands and said: "I said, Lao Gu, I have handled many cases."

"Believe it or not? Those who hang 'Hai Na Bai Chuan' in their offices are actually narrow-minded."

"What? Careful?" Hearing Zhang Jingde's words, Gu Baichuan hesitated immediately, and also murmured:

"But my name is Gu Baichuan. If I don't say 'Heaven accepts all rivers', should I say 'Heaven rewards those who work hard'?"

"'Heaven rewards those who work hard' is not good either." Zhang Jingde waved his hand again to deny it, and said:

"Those who hang on 'Heaven rewards work' are all small bosses who love to order others."

"Then hang 'integrity wins the world'? Do business." Xiao Xiaofang gave an idea.

But Zhang Jingde still waved his hand and said: "Those who talk about 'integrity wins the world' are generally unreliable big fools."

"And let me tell you, our police have a lot of contact with these things, like those who hang 'Shang Shan Ruo Shui', they are basically contractors who came from gangsters."

"Those with the word 'willing' are generally misers who love money like their lives."

"Also, and so on, most of the people who hang on 'good morals' are short-tempered, and those who hang on 'peace and distance' are all middle-aged people who are impetuous and like to mess around."

After thinking for a while, Zhang Jingde said again: "Also, as long as you hang on to 'you will win if you fight hard', you will find that at most they are small businessmen who are as timid as a mouse and have no courage."

"Hey young man." Hearing what Zhang Jingde said, Gu Baichuan felt a little worried and said:

"Then this doesn't work, that doesn't work either, so what do you think is appropriate to hang?"

"Don't hang on to anything. Integrity management is defined by heart, not by a calligraphy and painting. In my opinion, sincerity is more important than anything else." Seeing that everyone was struggling, Gu Chen, who was standing aside, gave his own view.

Aunt Wang, who was picking up the goods on the side, heard the words, and also echoed:

"That's right, Xiao Gu is right. Doing business depends on your heart. Compared with the word-of-mouth of our old neighbors, what's the difference between hanging these messy calligraphy and paintings?"

"Even if a profiteer has good calligraphy and paintings, if he treats people with integrity, he will not be able to do business well."

"As for businesses that operate with integrity, no matter how well decorated your store is, everyone should come to your home to buy goods, so they have to come, isn't that the truth?"

"Hey, Aunt Wang is right." Seeing Aunt Wang's sincere opinion, Xiao Xiaofang no longer struggled and said:

"Then don't hang anything up, and give our neighbors more discounts."

"Hey, the proprietress can talk." While talking, Aunt Wang had already picked out the products and put them on the counter.

A clerk immediately came over to check out Aunt Wang.

Zhang Jingde looked at his watch, and also reminded him: "It's getting late, I have to go back to work quickly, Gu Chen, come to our office when you have time, everyone misses you very much."

"Okay, don't worry, Uncle Zhang, I'll visit you when I'm free." Seeing Zhang Jingde leave, Gu Chen also said casually.

The business in the store, starting from the 40% discount, has been busy all morning.

Many neighbors compared the prices, and immediately felt that the prices of non-staple food supermarkets were affordable.

Many people who originally wanted to go shopping in the mall suddenly crowded here.

The source of information is well-informed, and it has always been the magic weapon for these old ladies who can grab the promotional eggs to pick up the benefits.

I also saw a middle-aged woman with a thin figure, but she was very hesitant when choosing discounted products, and wanted to put some discounted products into the shopping bag several times.

But after some hesitation, he put the product back in its original place again.

But after standing still and thinking for a few seconds, he hesitated to take the product back.

Just like this over and over again, Gu Chen noticed it all.

Gu Chen also saw that the middle-aged woman seemed to have some difficulties, and Gu Chen knew this middle-aged woman, and her family lived nearby.

But although Gu Chen was familiar with her, he didn't know the woman's name, so he took the initiative to step forward and asked:

"Auntie, there is a 40% discount on some products in the store today, which is basically half the usual price. If you need it, you might as well buy more."

"Sigh." The middle-aged woman nodded with a little inferiority, and put the products in her hands back on the shelf, and then walked to the counter to check out with the selected products.

Looking at the back of the middle-aged woman who checked out and left the store, Gu Chen also looked curious.

It happened that my mother brought a box of goods from the shelf in the store. Seeing her son standing there, staring at the outside in a daze, Xiao Xiaofang couldn't help asking curiously:

"Son, what are you looking at?"

"That aunt, it feels like you have to make a big decision to buy a 40% off product. Is it so difficult to decide what is in our store?" Gu Chen was a little puzzled.

Xiao Xiaofang frowned, also according to Gu Chen's gaze, looked in the direction outside, and couldn't help shaking her head:

"I don't know who you're talking about?"

"Gu Chen is talking about Zhang Qin who lives above the car repair shop diagonally opposite, right?"

A fat middle-aged woman seemed to know that person, so she said it casually.

"Zhang Qin? Is her family in trouble?" Gu Chen also saw that Zhang Qin had to make a lot of determination to buy 40% off products just now, it seems that Zhang Qin's family is in some difficulties.

The fat middle-aged woman stretched her neck and looked at the back of Zhang Qin outside. Seeing Zhang Qin walking away, she explained to everyone:

"Actually, it's nothing? It's Zhang Qin's son, who owed a lot of money a while ago, and felt like he was almost emptying out the house, so life suddenly became tense."

"Owe money?" Hearing what the fat middle-aged woman said, Xiao Xiaofang thought about it for a few seconds, and then said:

"I seem to remember it. I seem to have heard someone mention it before. It is Zhang Qin's son, the tall and thin one, right? My family, Gu Chen, seems to have graduated from the same school."

"That's right, that's the tall and thin young man." Hearing Xiao Xiaofang's words, the fat middle-aged woman quickly echoed:

"Hey, young man these days spends money lavishly. I don't know if it's because he's too impetuous, or because we're already rich and full of money?"

"Especially now, many of us don't even have a concept of money, especially young people."

"Most of the young people nowadays don't even have 30,000 to 50,000 in their pockets, but they always feel that 1,800,000 is a small amount of money."

"Those 300,000 to 500,000 cars, I feel like they are all grocery shopping carts, not worth mentioning at all."

Glancing at everyone, the middle-aged fat woman also asked back: "Just ask, are we really so rich?"

"How can it be?" Xiao Xiaofang replied with a smile when he heard the words.

The middle-aged fat woman echoed: "Isn't it? Many young people now have a monthly income of only three to five thousand or six thousand, and they don't save eight thousand a year, or they can't save money at all. Without that ideology, Dare to be in debt."

"It's not a credit card, it's all kinds of loans. Anyway, it's the kind that doesn't have the ability to make money, but has the ability to spend money."

"At the beginning, it was three to five thousand, then it rolled to three to fifty thousand, and finally it rolled to hundreds of thousands. I don't know where it ended up."

"As for Zhang Qin's son, because of all kinds of loans, he finally dragged himself down. Not only did he drag himself down, but he also dragged down the whole family."
