"Don’t ask anymore, just buy them all, whether it’s fifty or seventy."
Thinking about maintaining a good relationship with Chen Cang, Boss Lei decided it was worth bleeding a little.
"Oh, alright."
Ma Gan nodded and responded.
After Boss Lei returned to his office, Ma Gan thought for a while before calling back several employees who were currently suspended.
These guys were either watching TV at ho or surfing the internet in internet cafes; when they heard they were needed at the store, they all made excuses about being unavailable. Seeing no other way, Ma Gan had to offer them overti pay, promising to settle it the sa day, and only then did he manage to get them all to the store.
After waiting for over half an hour, all the employees had arrived, and Ma Gan gave his orders, "From now on, go and buy up all the Xia Family’s slimming popsicles from their cold drink shop!"
The employees looked at each other, not understanding what Manager Ma Gan was up to. One plump girl couldn’t help but say, "Manager, you can only buy three popsicles per person from the Xia Family. With the few of us, that’s not enough."
"What? A limit on purchases?"
Ma Gan’s head began to spin, originally he thought by sending so many people, each could buy more to clear out the stock without drawing the Xia Family mother and daughter’s attention. But now that he heard there was a limit of three per person, it really gave him a headache.
"Really, you can only buy up to three slimming popsicles per person per day at the Xia Family’s."
A cleaning lady chid in with agreent.
After thinking it over, Ma Gan said, "I want you all to mobilize everyone you know, go and buy these slimming popsicles for ; we have to wipe them out completely, not leaving even one."
"Manager, if there’s no money involved, no one will be willing to do it."
The plump girl tentatively asked.
Ma Gan knew well that these workers were all motivated by money, and he couldn’t help but say, "Fine, I’ll pay; for each popsicle brought back, I’ll give ten yuan. That should do it, right?"
"Great, we’ll start mobilizing now."
Upon hearing this, the employees were overjoyed, each of them running excitedly towards the outside.
Even if they gave their friends and family a five-yuan service fee per popsicle, they would still make a five-yuan profit. It was a guaranteed money-making deal, earn a hundred for twenty popsicles, equivalent to a day’s wages.
With money as the incentive, these people worked quickly and soon mobilized a large number of people. In the evening, when friends and family were off work, almost everyone who could be called ca. One person led a group, and in no ti, the cooling shop was filled with a large number of slimming popsicles bought back.
They were busy until eleven o’clock at night when Xia Family’s slimming popsicles were finally sold out.
Xia Wei’er and her mother were exhausted from the busy day in the store. Xia Wei’er felt curious:
"Mom, why did so many people co to buy popsicles today? Today’s sales were several tis the usual."
"True, normally we close at nine, but today we’ve been busy until now, though we made a good inco today."
Wei’er’s mom said happily while counting the money.
"Mom, since the slimming popsicles are gone, do we need to call Tang Ming again?"
Xia Wei’er asked.
"Yes, tell Tang Ming tomorrow when you go to school, and from now on, be nice to him. He’s our family’s benefactor; without him, your dad wouldn’t have money to get treatnt, and we would have been evicted by the landlord. Keep that in mind."
Wei’er’s mom started her nagging again.
Xia Wei’er had heard it many tis and her ears were practically callused from it, she replied in frustration, "Mom, I get it, I’ll just treat Tang Ming like a deity from now on, okay?"
"You child, I’m being serious. You need to rember this," Wei’er’s mom insisted earnestly.
"Got it, going to take a shower."
Xia Wei’er went into the inner room to take a shower.
anwhile, the cold drink shop was filled with chilling air. With several hundred diet ice pops placed in the hall, it was practically a mini icehouse. Moreover, as it was nightti, the temperature was naturally low. Boss Lei felt the cold as he walked out of his office. Upon seeing the huge pile of diet ice pops, his face imdiately lit up with a smile.
"All bought?"
Boss Lei asked.
"All bought. There probably isn’t a single one left in the Xia Family’s cold drink shop now."
Ma Gan responded.
"Good, that’s good."
Boss Lei, smiling, was about to return to his office to report the victory to Chen Cang over the phone.
But Ma Gan hurriedly called out, "Boss, although we bought all the ice pops, it cost quite a bit of money."
"How much?"
Seeing Ma Gan’s difficulty in speaking, Boss Lei knew it must have cost a lot.
Ma Gan hesitated to speak and after a few glances at Boss Lei, he finally said, "Almost eighty thousand!"
"What? How did it cost so much?"
When Boss Lei heard the amount, he was startled and quickly questioned, "How could there be so many ice pops here? Eighty thousand should buy over a thousand, right?"
Seeing that his boss was anxious, Ma Gan hurriedly explained, "The Xia Family’s shop had a rule that one person could only buy three sticks. You were in a rush for to buy, so I had to spend money to hire people to buy them, which is why it cost so much."
Boss Lei already trusted Ma Gan, and seeing his serious face as he explained, he couldn’t help but wave his hand and said, "Fine, what’s spent is spent."
"What about these ice pops, Boss?"
Ma Gan asked, pointing at the ice pops on the table.
"They were bought with money, it would be a pity to throw them away. How about you eat them all?" said Boss Lei offhandedly.
" eat them?"
Ma Gan imdiately shook his head vehently and said:
"I’m already thin as it is, if I eat diet ice pops, I’ll definitely beco a skeleton."
"True, but it’s a waste to throw them away. How about you ask your relatives if soone wants them, bring so back. I’ll also ask my nagging wife at ho if she wants to eat so to lose weight."
Boss Lei said, struck by a sudden thought.
No sooner had he finished speaking, Boss Lei, looking at his own slightly plump body, grabbed an ice pop from the table and started munching on it, muttering to himself:
"What the hell is this? Not speaking of Chen’s one million that we can’t get our hands on right now, I’ve also thrown in half a million for hiring thugs. And now I’ve spent tens of thousands more on ice pops. If it weren’t for the potential connection with the Chen Family, I wouldn’t bother with such a damn jinxed task."
While eating the diet ice pop, Boss Lei walked into his office and called Monkey.
Monkey was at that mont having a blast in a KTV with Chen Cang, Xiao Jun, and a group of n and won. After receiving the call, Monkey whispered sothing to Chen Cang. A cold smile crossed Chen Cang’s lips as he impatiently said, "Find a way to distract Tang Ming tomorrow morning so I can send soone to kidnap Liu ngting."
"Cang Bro, you’re planning to kidnap Liu ngting?"
Monkey asked in surprise, thinking they were going to look for an opportunity to drug her.
Chen Cang nodded and said, "That’s right, you reminded . Liu ngting doesn’t care about at all. I wouldn’t have a chance to drug her either, so it’s better to just kidnap her. Once I’ve slept with her and the deed is done, she’ll be at my rcy, heh heh."
