I was a daigou in the 60s

Do you think I can't see it?

He Yuanfeng snorted disdainfully.

"Things from the supply and marketing cooperative are worth bending over backwards with a young kid for a few cents. How shabby!"

After saying that, she left arrogantly.

He Yuanfeng seemed to disdain to associate with women who would kowtow for a little favor!

However, Wu Cuihua was willing to step forward and wanted to buy the wool from Xiao Dongqing.

But when he saw He Yuanfeng in front of him, he finally stomped his feet and followed unwillingly.

When the people around saw their appearance, their eyes almost popped out.

"Why are you pretending to be so noble? Have you forgotten the days when you had to get up in the middle of the night to catch the bus just to pick up a few cabbages?"

These words happened to reach He Yuanfeng's ears. She paused and her face turned red and white.

Xiao Dongqing glanced and noticed He Yuanfeng and the others, but pretended not to see them.

He helped write down a list of items that everyone needed to buy.

Then I went home, ate something quick, and took a short nap.

In the afternoon, he rode Aunt Yang's bicycle to his workplace in high spirits.

Park your bicycle in the dedicated parking shed in the backyard of the supply and marketing cooperative.

He locked the car, carried his bag and leisurely walked into the hall through the back door.

It was not yet two o'clock in the afternoon, but many employees were already on duty in the hall.

Several sales clerks, including Sister Wang, were already standing neatly behind the counter.

The re-elected accountant also sat in his seat, holding an abacus in his hand, looking ready to take on the challenge.

Xiao Dongqing looked around and felt something was wrong.

Is this the place where I worked a few days ago?

In the past, there were always people here knitting sweaters, eating melon seeds or daydreaming...but today they seem like a different person.

Xiao Dongqing thought about it and suddenly realized.

Oh, by the way, our superiors are coming to inspect today, so everyone naturally has to perform better.

"Sister Wang, the leader who came this morning hasn't left yet?"

Xiao Dongqing walked to the counter and asked curiously.

Sister Wang glanced in the direction of Director Dong’s office, smiled bitterly and shook her head.

She lowered her voice and said to Xiao Dongqing: "After lunch, we will stand all the time."

"The leader said our standing posture was not standard enough and asked us to practice here."

"Remember to be more enthusiastic when we open for business later."

"I don't know what's wrong with these leaders today."

"They are particularly picky about our service attitude, and we must never let them down!"

Xiao Dongqing immediately straightened his back and nodded seriously.

It seems that I should not take out the book to study for the time being.

The right thing to do is to do your job honestly.

With the arrival of opening time, Nancheng Supply and Marketing Cooperative officially began its business.

Immediately afterwards, several leaders walked out of Director Dong’s office, ready to conduct an inspection.

These people did not come closer, but stood at the back door.

His eyes looked at Xiao Dongqing and other salespeople carefully like a ruler.

"Miss, what would you like to buy?"

"Hey young man, how much is a box of Tiger Balm in your store?"

"Five cents a box."

"Give me a box!"

"Okay, please keep it!"

Xiao Dongqing talked to customers skillfully.

Zhou Lifen seemed to be working even harder.

Normally she always had a stern face when talking to customers, but today she had to force a smile, and her cheeks were already sore.

But one customer couldn't stand her look and asked in surprise.

"Miss Zhou, what's wrong with your face? Are you feeling unwell somewhere? It looks weird!"

"...Haha, you really know how to tease me."

Zhou Lifen forced a smile, but the corners of her eyes couldn't help twitching.

Glancing at Director Dong's gloomy face behind her, she secretly groaned inwardly.

She had just been scolded this morning and threatened to be fired if she didn't work hard.

Director Xie at the back door frowned and spoke to the team members beside him.

"Look, why is our regular salesperson not as energetic as that temporary worker?"

"His smile is also much brighter than others?"

The team members looked at each other.

"This young man is indeed quite handsome."

Someone echoed.

"Looks are one thing, but more important is that genuine smile. Look at how he smiles."

Everyone turned their eyes to Xiao Dongqing, and after a moment of thought they understood the reason.

People say that you shouldn't show your teeth when you smile, but this young man smiled and showed a row of neat white teeth.

Not only does it not look ferocious at all, but it appears particularly sunny and cheerful.

Compared to the stiff smile of the waiter at the other counter.

Xiao Dongqing's smile is like the warm spring sunshine, making people feel comfortable and relaxed.

"This guy has a nice laugh."

Looking at his smile, people's hearts also became warm, and unconsciously a smile appeared on the corners of their mouths.

“If only all the employees in our supply and marketing system could be like this young man.”

“What customer wouldn’t be happy when they come here?”

"Our state-owned stores bear the important responsibility of allocating national supplies."

“It’s not just a supplier of goods, but also a part of the city’s image.”

“We not only have to complete the task, but also serve every customer with a warm attitude.”

“Let them feel the warmth of home.”

The inspection team was busy until the evening before leaving.

Before leaving, Xiao Dongqing was unexpectedly invited into the office.

He was a little puzzled. As a temporary worker, there wouldn't usually be anything he needed to discuss with him, right?

It turned out that Director Xie from the Municipal Supply and Marketing Corporation was interested in him.

"Young comrade, are you interested in joining our supply and marketing system?"

Director Xie asked straight to the point.

Xiao Dongqing was stunned for a moment and didn't have time to respond.

Director Xie continued, "I know you didn't graduate from high school, but that's not a problem."

"Our supply and marketing system has internal recommendation opportunities every year."

"I'll recommend you to join next year's recruitment, how about that?"

Director Xie admires this young man very much.

They think he is smart, quick-witted and a rare talent.

Faced with such an opportunity, Xiao Dongqing was both moved and grateful.

"I really want to join the supply and marketing system, but I don't need to bother you with the recommendation."

"To be honest, I have already applied for the salesperson position at the Nantong Department Store this year and will take the exam next month."

"Because I haven't received my high school diploma yet."

"So I used some special methods to register. I hope you can keep it a secret for me."

Hearing this, Director Xie's eyes flashed with surprise, but more of it was admiration.

"I see. It seems you are indeed a courageous young man."

Director Xie smiled and said, "In that case, I'll be waiting for your good news at the department store."

"I wouldn't be happy if I didn't see you."

"Please rest assured, I will definitely see you at the department store next month!"

Xiao Dongqing returned to the counter. Zhou Lifen followed him and asked what Director Xie wanted to see him about. He replied indifferently.
