Chapter 311: Chapter 311

Zhao Meiyuan’s advertisement for the mother and baby store started airing on TV on October 1st, and because the ad was particularly creative, the response was quite good.

Banners of Xu Meiyuan’s promotional event on October 3rd were hung at the West District flagship store and the downtown main store, and as the word spread among passersby, the sales at both stores noticeably skyrocketed on the day of the event.

Zhao Meimei spent the entire morning packing bags without lifting her head or opening her eyes, while the other sales assistants were all so busy that no one had time to chat with her, serve tea or water, so this time she really got to experience work life.

After packing for each customer, Zhao Meimei would greet them with a cheerful smile, saying, "Thank you, and please visit us again."

After saying this for hours, her mouth felt dry, and Zhao Meimei took advantage of a moment when no one was around to quickly squat under the counter and secretly twist open a bottle of mineral water. She had just taken two sips before she heard a gentle male voice saying, "Hello, I need packing services."

Zhao Meimei quickly screwed the cap back on, hurriedly stood up from under the counter, and apologized, "I’m sorry, I delayed your time."

Standing in front of the counter was a young man who looked to be in his early twenties, wearing a light blue short-sleeved T-shirt and dark blue casual shorts, with a gentle smile showing a neat set of white teeth, looking quite handsome.

Zhao Meimei saw him clearly and was slightly stunned, feeling he looked familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere before, but couldn’t recall at the moment.

The young man clearly recognized her, and exclaimed in surprise, "Is it really you!"

Now Zhao Meimei was completely sure that she really had met this person somewhere, even though she still couldn’t remember who he was.

Zhao Meimei looked at the young man standing in front of her and awkwardly smiled, "Hi."

The young man placed the merchandise he was holding onto the counter, his black curly eyelashes trembling a bit, and asked with a smile in his voice, "Do you remember me?"

Zhao Meimei thought to herself, nope.

She reached out and scratched the back of her neck, hesitantly saying, "Uh, I can’t recall at the moment, just think you look a bit familiar."

The young man said, "My name is Dong Wenjie, we went to the same university, a few days ago my friend bumped into you, and I helped you up at that time."

Zhao Meimei actually still didn’t have much of a memory, but she faked a realizing expression and warmly smiled, "Ah! So it’s you! What a coincidence, haha!"

Dong Wenjie saw Zhao Meimei’s guilty-looking smile, curled his lips, and held back the urge to laugh, saying, "Yeah! My friend kept mentioning it, saying he felt pretty sorry for bumping into you in the hallway that day."

Zhao Meimei was unaware and generously said, "Oh, that matter? I’ve long forgotten about it, it’s no big deal."

Zhao Meimei efficiently packed the items on the counter and handed them over. Dong Wenjie took them and couldn’t help but ask with a laugh, "Do you usually work during the holidays?"

Zhao Meimei was taken aback and said, "Uh, not really, I’m just here to help temporarily."

Dong Wenjie nodded and asked again, "By the way, I don’t know your name yet."

Dong Wenjie picked up the shopping bag on the counter, "Which major are you in?"

Zhao Meimei: "Mathematics."

Dong Wenjie’s eyes lit up, "Really? I’m in the mathematics school too, how come I haven’t seen you before? Are you a first-year student?"

Then more customers came to have their items packed, Dong Wenjie stepped aside, curled his lips, and said, "Feel free to find me if you encounter anything at school."

Zhao Meimei agreed, "Okay."

After finishing talking, Dong Wenjie left, and Zhao Meimei got busy again, quickly forgetting about this person and this event in the hustle, without noticing that Dong Wenjie didn’t leave the packaging area immediately but took out his phone from afar, secretly took a couple of photos of Zhao Meimei, watched her for a while, and then left the store with his purchases.

Near noon, Zhao Meimei changed back into her own clothes, greeted the others in the store, and went to the fast-food restaurant diagonally opposite the shop to wait for Peng Hui and Qian Simeng.

Qian Simeng arrived first, wearing a white T-shirt with Xu Meiyuan’s picture printed on the front, holding clappers and two loud horns that made a noise when blown.

Qian Simeng excitedly said, "These are for later support, Meimei, which one do you want?"

Zhao Meimei looked at the clappers and the horns strugglingly, finally choosing the clappers as the tallest from the short ones.

Peng Hui came over shortly, carrying two shopping bags, and handed them to Zhao Meimei and Qian Simeng: "These are specialties given to my brother-in-law, I brought them for you to taste."

Zhao Meimei was somewhat curious about Peng Rui and asked, "Your sister is married?"

Peng Hui nodded, "Yeah, she got married two years ago."

Zhao Meimei asked, "What does your brother-in-law do?"

Peng Hui said: "He sells cars, he’s a sales manager at a shop."

Zhao Meimei softly said, "Oh," and couldn’t help asking, "Do you remember Qu Chaozong?" Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs novel[f]ire.net

Peng Hui was taken aback, "Who?"

Zhao Meimei reminded, "That’s Brother Chao."

"Ah!" Peng Hui realized, "You mean my sister’s ex-boyfriend right? I wasn’t very familiar with him, haven’t had any deep impressions for a long time."

When Peng Rui was dating Qu Chaozong, it was during the busy high school years, and later they both went to university in the provincial capital. Peng Hui only met Qu Chaozong a few times, didn’t have strong feelings, so she didn’t care much about her sister changing boyfriends.

Before the event started, Zhao Meimei received a call from Shi Yang. The scene was too crowded, so she didn’t hear clearly what Shi Yang said, but she knew it must be telling her to stay safe, and she just agreed to everything with "yeah, yeah."

Xu Meiyuan’s celebrity effect had a strong resonance, not only was the venue full, but fans without invitation tickets and onlooking passersby outside the venue were going to the mother and baby store to buy designated amounts of merchandise to exchange for entrance tickets, causing a chain reaction, and the store’s merchandise experienced a peak in sales for a moment. If it weren’t for Qian Simeng and Peng Hui coming over, Zhao Meimei would have wanted to go to the store to help out.

Qian Simeng excitedly pulled Zhao Meimei aside and asked, "Oh my, I’m so nervous! Meimei, did you ask your brother to help me get an autograph?"

Zhao Meimei reached out to shield her head from the scorching sun, "I told him a long time ago, don’t worry."

Peng Hui said, "Meimei, ask your brother how many autographs he got. If there are any extras, I’d say we should sell them right here, one hundred yuan each, do you think her fans would buy it?"

Qian Simeng immediately stared at her, "I won’t sell them, if there are extras, I’ll save them to give to family relatives, my cousin also really likes her!"
