Chapter 505: Chapter 505

Pu Sangzhi was very talkative and meddlesome, the kind of woman Han Lei particularly disliked.

But indeed, poor performance was a reality, and Han Lei’s lack of eloquence was an indisputable fact...

So, even though he was quite annoyed with Pu Sangzhi, Han Lei thought about it and still listened to her...

Compromising his conscience, he asked Huo Mingshan, "What style of clothes do you want to buy?"

Huo Mingshan didn’t actually know what clothes he wanted to buy, his purpose for coming here was just to see Pu Sangzhi, support Pu Sangzhi, and enjoy Pu Sangzhi’s service.

Now, instead, he was stuck with Han Lei, this utterly impolite kid...

Thinking it over, since it was Han Lei, Huo Mingshan didn’t feel right about making many demands and had to take a bit more initiative himself.

"I usually wear Mandarin collar T-shirts. Do you have those styles?" Huo Mingshan said.

Although Han Lei was not good with words, he was a man of action.

He usually remembered clearly which clothes were placed where in the store and how many sizes of each item were left.

Thus, after Huo Mingshan finished speaking, he immediately went to the rack and pulled out three or four Mandarin collar T-shirts, bringing them over to Huo Mingshan, "What do you think of these?"

Whether it was his taste or Huo Mingshan just didn’t agree with him, Huo Mingshan disliked all the clothes he brought over...

Of course, Huo Mingshan couldn’t appear too displeased, so he just touched his chin and said, "These colors are too flashy. Someone my age should wear something more mature and steady. These colors aren’t really suitable..."

Han Lei put all the clothes back in their places and then picked out black, white, and gray clothes from the rack, bringing them back to Huo Mingshan.

Even though his taste really did differ from Huo Mingshan’s, black, white, and gray clothes usually can’t go wrong, so this time, Huo Mingshan didn’t pick further and simply said, "I’ll take these few. What sizes are they? I usually wear medium, let me try them on."

Han Lei checked the sizes on these clothes, "They’re all M, that should fit you."

With that, Huo Mingshan took the three pieces of clothing and walked towards the dressing room.

After Huo Mingshan entered the dressing room, Pu Sangzhi came up beside Han Lei and took the opportunity to say, "See, just by talking a bit more, you generally can keep a customer. You usually talk too little. You must speak when necessary, sales rely on one’s words."

Han Lei glanced at Pu Sangzhi and remarked, "Did you know my grandmother lived to be 108 years old?"

Pu Sangzhi was startled for a moment, then after a few seconds, she asked perplexedly, "Congratulations on your grandmother’s long life, but why are you telling me this?"

Han Lei said, "Because she never meddled in other people’s business."

This darn kid is way too arrogant, isn’t he?!

Pu Sangzhi took a deep breath and said, "I don’t want to meddle in your business either, but yesterday the manager asked me to guide you. If you don’t like it, I will stop bothering you from tomorrow. It’s not like I’m gaining anything from it, today’s sales even dropped by half."

Han Lei laughed incredibly rudely, "That has nothing to do with me."

Pu Sangzhi secretly vowed: Tomorrow, I definitely won’t bother with this kid! Even if he’s miserable, I won’t care!

However, today Pu Sangzhi still properly helped him serve Huo Mingshan.

Also, because of Huo Mingshan’s arrival, Han Lei finally made his first sales transaction in his life, big success!

That evening at 10:00 PM when they got off work, it was Huo Mingshan who drove the three of them home.

Huo Mingshan heard they finished work at 10:00 PM, and after buying clothes, he stayed in the shop with them until closing before taking them home one by one.

Earlier, Pu Sangzhi had also sent a message to Huo Feng, telling him not to come pick her up because her teacher was taking her home.

This really annoyed Huo Feng!

Reading the message, Huo Feng cursed Huo Mingshan in his heart and still didn’t feel it was enough!

Huo Mingshan first drove the two girls home, then turned around to take Han Lei home.

After the girls got off, in the car, Huo Mingshan and Han Lei talked about the two girls for a while.

It was quite surprising, and it wasn’t Huo Mingshan who brought it up first. Instead, Han Lei started talking about the two girls...

Han Lei said: he knew his eloquence was poor, and he only came to this job hoping to make a basic salary. If he could improve his eloquence, that would be great, but if he couldn’t, there was nothing he could do.

Before the two girls arrived, his performance as a newcomer was poor, but no one said anything. After the girls joined, also as newcomers, his poor performance became starkly apparent...

Therefore, Han Lei felt that the girls’ efforts made him uncomfortable.

When Huo Mingshan heard what was on his heart, he immediately realized his poor attitude and spoke up to advise him, "Kid, work isn’t simpl, and the workplace is much more complex than you think. You mustn’t think that the diligence of the two girls is highlighting your lack of progress; the truth is, you are both lazy and inept."

As a mentor, Huo Mingshan felt it his duty and within his role to educate Han Lei, so he continued unabashedly, "The workplace environment is different from the academic environment, and work is not as casual as studying. You could slack and be scattered in your studies, seeking personal comfort, but the workplace is different. Even though it’s just a small store, it still represents a microcosm of the workplace, with colleagues, leaders, and performance requirements. Therefore, you must strive hard. Those who don’t put in effort will be eliminated by the workplace. This is your first pot of gold in life, and you should approach it with a proactive attitude. Tell me, am I right?"

In fact, Han Lei understood the reasoning.

But everyone has inertia, lacking pressure and motivation. Han Lei, who himself hadn’t set high goals, also couldn’t muster much fighting spirit because of this.

Huo Mingshan didn’t know if Han Lei had taken his words to heart. He laughed a little, easing the tense atmosphere, "Actually, you are much more diligent compared to my son. My son never thought about working during the summer holidays. He just thinks about playing as soon as vacation starts."

Looking at Huo Mingshan through the rearview mirror, Han Lei explained, "I just want to buy a figurine, I am short 1000 yuan. The basic salary here is 1000 yuan, so I came."

Huo Mingshan stiffened for a second, then quickly recovered and casually said, "That’s good too, that 1000 yuan is also your goal. Unlike my son, no goals, just asks me for money."

Han Lei unapologetically said, "I also asked my dad, but he didn’t give it. They only give my sister money, saying boys should be raised thriftily."

Huo Mingshan stiffened again for a second, "Actually, that kind of upbringing is also correct."

Han Lei: "Forget it, I can’t talk with you elders. Thanks for the ride home."

Huo Mingshan: "It’s nothing..."

Awkward conversation continued all the way until Huo Mingshan finally dropped Han Lei off at home.

Concerning the son of Principal Han, Huo Mingshan had always felt he was inherently good.

Maybe it was because he had been raised without much wealth.

He didn’t have Han Feiyi’s arrogance, nor Han Feiyi’s competitive spirit, and his personality was like that of a wooden person.

Huo Mingshan actually liked Han Lei’s personality, preferring honest children over the slick style of Huo Feng.

The next day was a rare day off.

Pu Sangzhi and Ye Qingcao both slept in, a rare luxury, and did not wake up until 9:30 a.m. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹•𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖•𝗇𝗲𝘁

After three tiring days of work, they finally had a day off...

But that day was not peaceful for them.

Because early that morning, a rare visitor had come to their house...

When Pu Sangzhi and Ye Qingcao came out of their room, they were startled to see their great aunt Chen Feng sitting in the living room!

Ye Qingcao didn’t recognize the relatives from Pu Sangzhi’s mother’s side, so upon seeing an unfamiliar elder, she quickly hid behind Pu Sangzhi.

Pu Sangzhi greeted her great aunt with a nod, "Auntie, what brings you here?"

Today’s aunt seemed to arrive with a fiery temperament, as her tone towards Pu Sangzhi wasn’t kind, "I really didn’t want to make this trip, but who told you to not live peacefully?"

Pu Sangzhi didn’t know what had happened, at this moment, she turned to look towards Chen Huifen’s room...

Suddenly, Chen Huifen came out of the room holding the property deed.

Chen Huifen brought the property deed to Chen Feng, "Everything’s fine, I haven’t touched it."

Chen Feng took a careful look at the property deed, her tone and demeanor softened a bit, "This is the dowry left by mom for Sangzhi, it’s best not to touch it at all! You can make foolish mistakes yourself, but don’t ruin the child’s future. Just a few days of peace, and you start making trouble again! If I hadn’t received a call yesterday..."

Chen Huifen quickly stopped Chen Feng, her eyes signaling towards the two girls, "Let’s talk in the room."

Chen Feng also glanced at Pu Sangzhi and Ye Qingcao, then calmed down and stood up to go to the room with Chen Huifen.

In the living room, Pu Sangzhi and Ye Qingcao still didn’t know what had happened...

But a sense of unrest was quietly rising...
