Chapter 504: Chapter 504

At 9:10 PM, Huo Mingshan walked into the store at a leisurely pace, hands clasped behind his back...

Since Han Lei was standing closer to him, he spoke to Han Lei first, "That’s good, you have ambition. At such young age you already know to come out and experience society, better than my son indeed."

Han Lei nodded sullenly, replying with a somewhat polite, "Oh."

"Keep up the good work, and take care of our Sangzhi too."

Huo Mingshan patted Han Lei on the shoulder as if entrusting him with an important task and then gestured to Pu Sangzhi, "Sangzhi, come here."

Pu Sangzhi hurriedly came out from behind the counter and trotted over, looking from Han Lei to Huo Mingshan with a puzzled expression, "Teacher..."

At the same time, Han Lei, who had always disdained interacting with her, also turned to glance at her. Their eyes met for a second before he looked away...

"How many days have you two been colleagues?" Huo Mingshan asked them both.

Pu Sangzhi nodded, "Two days. Teacher, I’ve only been here two days."

Han Lei said nothing, his gaze fixed on Huo Mingshan, still expressionless, so indifferent that others couldn’t decipher his emotions.

Huo Mingshan nodded slowly, "So, you’ve only been working for two days..."

Pu Sangzhi immediately asked, "Teacher, how did you know I started working here? I didn’t announce it..."

"I..." should not let her know it was Huo Feng who spilled the beans!

Huo Mingshan suddenly got nervous, scratching his forehead and made up a reason on the spot, "I don’t know who told me, I just somehow found out you were working here. I thought to myself I haven’t bought any clothes this summer, so I came to see you and buy a few pieces of clothing to support you."

Pu Sangzhi immediately smiled and bowed to Huo Mingshan, "Thank you, teacher."

However, after Huo Mingshan said this, Han Lei suddenly spoke up, "Won’t you help boost my performance too?"

Suddenly, the teacher and student were both embarrassed.

Even though Pu Sangzhi could not understand what exactly the relationship between Han Lei and Huo Mingshan was, Han Lei’s actions were challenging her expectations...

In these few days, so many customers had come to him, and he didn’t take the initiative! But when a familiar face showed up, he didn’t hesitate to make his demands! Wasn’t this too much?

Similarly, Huo Mingshan was also quite embarrassed in his mind.

He thought to himself: He wasn’t even close to this kid, right? Just a bit of a connection through their parents, how could he make such abrupt demands?

Seeing that they hadn’t spoken for a long while, Han Lei realized Huo Mingshan was not inclined to help him, so he said, "Forget I said anything. You two keep talking, I’m leaving."

After this, Han Lei turned and left.

With an inventory notebook in hand, he went to the women’s section to continue checking the stock...

"Han Lei... Uncle will buy you two pieces of clothing in a bit, you keep busy, Uncle will find you later."

Because of face-saving reasons, Huo Mingshan still said this to Han Lei.

In the women’s section, Han Lei turned and raised his hand towards Huo Mingshan, his gesture showing agreement with Huo Mingshan’s words. Read complete versıon only at 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⟡𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕥⟡𝕟𝕖𝕥

Quite unceremoniously, and not treating himself as an outsider at all...

Huo Mingshan internally sighed, secretly thinking: Are all young people these days so thick-skinned? He had always thought only his son was shameless...

Seeing Huo Mingshan had essentially booked Han Lei, Pu Sangzhi took the initiative to suggest, "You can let Han Lei recommend something to you. He’s more skilled in the men’s section."

Although Huo Mingshan was reluctant, since Pu Sangzhi had spoken up, he agreed, "How have these two days been for you? Is work exhausting? Have you learned anything?"

Huo Mingshan showed deep concern for Pu Sangzhi, his questions coming one after the other like the gentle care of an elder.

Pu Sangzhi nodded towards Huo Mingshan, "Teacher, although the work is quite tiring, the benefits are considerable. I’ve only been working for a short two days, and compared to the hard work, I’ve gained much more social experience. My sales ability is also not bad; the store manager even complimented me the other day."

"Hmm. Having such a gain is also quite a pleasant surprise."

Hearing her say this, Huo Mingshan was very reassured, "Sangzhi, but don’t overexert yourself. For the two months of summer vacation, working for one month is enough, leave a month for yourself to rest. Next semester you’ll be in grade eleven, and it’s going to be tough! You should still allocate more time for your studies."

Pu Sangzhi obediently replied, "I will, teacher. I was planning to only work for a month, and in the other month, I need to tutor my classmate. I will also strive hard in grade eleven, aiming to excel and not disappoint you, teacher."

"Uh... That’s good thinking."

Huo Feng hesitated a moment, because he could almost guess that the tutoring she mentioned was definitely for that kid Huo Feng!

Huo Feng had been really enjoying himself these few days.

Either she’s running around outside all day, or she’s in her room playing games all day, completely letting herself go, afraid that she doesn’t know anything about studying!

Compared to Pu Sangzhi, who is working hard at this moment, Huo Mingshan really feels guilty and finds his son utterly incompetent! There’s no way he is a match for Sangzhi!

"Teacher, please take a seat."

Busy, Pu Sangzhi welcomed Huo Mingshan to the waiting area to take a seat, "It just so happens that the store manager is out, and the sisters are all eating in the back. You can sit for a while, and I can keep you company."

Huo Mingshan was very happy to sit down in the waiting area, looking up at Pu Sangzhi, "I was a bit worried thinking you were working here alone. Now seeing Han Lei here too is great; he can keep you company. You probably don’t know whose son Han Lei is, do you?"

Pu Sangzhi took a special look at Han Lei, who also turned his head around, exchanged glances with Pu Sangzhi, and then, he was the first to look away...

"He is the son of Principal Han. He just took his middle school exams this year, and he should be going to high school next semester."

As Huo Mingshan said this, he seemed a bit uncertain, turning around to ask Han Lei, "Han Lei, you just took your exams, right? How did they go?"

Han Lei answered indifferently, "Not so good, I can only go to Longxiang."

"Haha... Longxiang isn’t bad either. At least your dad is there, and so is your sister."

Huo Mingshan chuckled, "You little guy, study hard. Even in Longxiang, you still have a chance to get into a top university. Don’t let your dad down again."

Han Lei did not want to reply to that remark.

Only then did Pu Sangzhi realize that Han Lei was Principal Han’s son! Han Feiyi’s brother!

Having just dealt with Principal Han and Han Feiyi this semester, Pu Sangzhi now really didn’t know how to interact with Han Lei!

All she could say was: no wonder Han Lei’s personality is , because his sister is also very peculiar!

It’s true... it’s not for nothing they say a family doesn’t come from different doors...

"Han Lei, this lad, isn’t quite like his sister. He doesn’t talk much, is a bit introverted, but he has a good heart. If you face any troubles here at work, he will help you out."

Huo Mingshan warmly spoke of Han Lei’s virtues, "Anyway, seeing you have someone here to keep you company, I’m much relieved."

Pu Sangzhi, smiling, glanced at Ye Qingcao behind the counter, "Teacher, I’m not working here alone. I have a friend here too."

Only then did Huo Mingshan notice Ye Qingcao, finally realizing that Ye Qingcao and Pu Sangzhi were friends, "So you have a friend here. That’s good, having someone to keep you company is best!"

Pu Sangzhi nodded, "Yes, Teacher. We both commute together; everything is alright."

Huo Mingshan, seeing that she was fine, felt much more comfortable, "That’s good."

Pu Sangzhi: "Thank you, Teacher, for coming to see me especially, and for your concern."

Huo Mingshan: "What’s there to thank! Anyway, I was just idling... By the way, do you want to recommend a few outfits to me?"

"Of course, Teacher."

As Pu Sangzhi was about to head to the men’s section to find clothes, she suddenly remembered something, turned her head to Han Lei, and said, "Han Lei, you recommend some clothes to the teacher."

Han Lei came over at the call and quickly approached Huo Mingshan, saying, "Have you spotted anything you like?"

"You can’t ask customers like that."

By her side, Pu Sangzhi promptly corrected him, "If you want to recommend clothes to customers, you should start with the best-selling items in the store. The T-shirts and shirts here are the top-selling styles, you should bring them in front of the customer to show, asking if they style? That’s what you should do."

Han Lei furrowed his brow at Pu Sangzhi, looking quite displeased, but Pu Sangzhi directly countered him, "I’m teaching you how to sell. It’s rare that the teacher is here, you should really learn how to greet customers."

Han Lei disdainfully replied, "Don’t worry about me."

Pu Sangzhi retorted, "Hey, how can you be so ungrateful?"

Han Lei rebutted her, "Mind your own business."

Pu Sangzhi was speechless: "..."

If it wasn’t for the manager asking her to train him yesterday, she wouldn’t even want to bother with him!

However, Han Lei, although very resistant verbally, still followed Pu Sangzhi’s advice, took the best-selling products to Huo Mingshan, asking, "Do you style?"

Huo Mingshan: "Do you have other styles?"

Han Lei frowned, "Pick one yourself."

Pu Sangzhi couldn’t help but interject, "Hey, you can’t treat customers ... they won’t feel like buying clothes this way!"

Han Lei squinted his eyes, his expression dark and unclear as he looked towards her...
