204 Chapter 1 The Ghost in the Back ([-])
The village chief's daughter-in-law chatted with her politely, and then talked to Cui Yufeng for a while. Li Yan saw that the time was almost up, so she gave Cui Yuying a wink.

"That's fine, sister, we'll just sit down, and we'll go back now." He got up and got off the ground.

Li Yan took out an envelope from his pocket, glanced at the little boy sitting on the tip of the kang doing his homework, and put it lightly on the table: "This is to buy some fruit for my brother."

"Oh...how can this work?"

Cui Yuying stopped her: "Sister, just put it away, you see we didn't buy anything when we came, and you still won't let me throw two dollars to buy something delicious, so you still want me to come here in the future? "

"Look at the eldest sister you mentioned, how can you be so embarrassed?" She was still polite, and finally did not refuse.

After leaving the village, Cui Yuying couldn't help asking Li Yan curiously: "Swallow, how much money did you put in that envelope for them?"

"1000 dollars."

"How much?" Cui Yuying thought she had heard it wrong, stopped and widened her eyes and said, "How much did you say?"

"Auntie, you heard me right, it's 1000 yuan." Li Yan knew that she was taken aback. The current 1000 yuan is not the 20 yuan that will be ten or twenty years later, and the current village chief is far less than later. Right, even if someone wants to give a gift, it is a matter of two packs of fruit and two bottles of wine. Only a few people can think of this step. Most of the villagers come empty-handed and open their mouths. Thank you when it is done. That's all etiquette, and it's no wonder her aunt made a fuss.

Cui Yuying frowned reproachfully and said: "Swallow, it's not that auntie is talking about you, why are you spending so much money, don't say that this matter can't be done, even if it is done, you can give 100 yuan, it's still not enough, good guy just do it!" One thousand, did you get your money from a strong wind?"

Li Yan put her arms around her neck with a smile, and said coquettishly: "Auntie, don't be angry, listen to my explanation. In fact, I did this to pave the way. Isn't it easier to find someone to do things in the future? You Think about it, if I give them this much money, they will definitely take care of it, and if there are more mountains and forests to sell, they will definitely think of me."

"Then there's no need to give so much money?" Cui Yuying still couldn't understand.

"Auntie, you think that money is easy to get. Haven't you heard that cannibalism is short-sighted and short-handed? If they take the money, they have to do practical things for us, otherwise they will feel insecure .”

"That is to say, who knows if there will be such an opportunity in the future, if there is no mountain sale, won't you lose a lot of money?"

Li Yan smiled: "Don't worry, auntie, there will be a chance." She just didn't say it directly, fearing that there would be too many opportunities to take care of.

When the two returned home, the village chief came to the door that night. Just in time for the meal, he sat down at the dinner table and held up the wine glass.After getting acquainted with Li Yan through the introduction, she expressed her attitude immediately, and repeatedly stated that she would take this matter to heart and would notify her when there was a suitable opportunity.

The foreshadowing is laid first, and Li Yan is waiting for the result someday.After staying there for another two days, before leaving, I threw 200 yuan to Cui Yuying, asking her to buy some delicious and easy-to-use food.

No matter how good the relatives are, they have to walk around with each other and manage them carefully.People who have lived a whole life again know this truth all too well.

After returning from Gaotai Village, it has been a week since the holiday.Just before she got home, Cui Yufeng told her that the person in charge of the building had come over twice, without saying anything specific.

The director in charge of the daily operation of the building is called Wei Xianda. He may have been dealing with finances for many years. He is very cautious and prudent. This is the first time that the department store has been open for such a long time. Li Yan guessed that he had encountered some trouble. It can't be solved, and it's not serious enough to have to go to Gaotai Village to find her back.

What could this neither light nor heavy thing be?Li Yan went to the town with curiosity.

After Lingshui Town was rated as a local special zone, the speed of economic development was much faster than before.It can be seen from the increasingly brightly decorated doors and more and more shops on the street that people's living standards are also constantly improving.

The prosperous scene of the department store closing its doors and customers at the beginning has long since disappeared, especially in the past year. The sales performance has been declining significantly. Li Yan also summed up the reasons for this phenomenon. The fierce competition is one of the reasons, and the building itself is also the reason. A place that cannot be ignored.In the past, people flocked here because of the complete variety and variety of styles.Once the freshness period has passed, the enthusiasm slowly fades with the gradual rise of street shops.

It can be said that this will be an unavoidable trend, success and failure also failure, the initial rise is due to the multi-layer structure of the building, and the future decline must also be due to the existence of this point.It is also a matter of shopping, and it is natural to look for the easiest way to save time between the two of walking and taking more stairs.

Of course, it will take some time for the department store to be completely eliminated, and it has not yet reached that point. This gives her enough time to think about whether to transform and continue to operate or simply withdraw and sell it to others.

Li Yan felt that she did not make a mistake in the direction of the problem. Most people's favor for street shops lies in the convenience of their feet. It is completely unexpected that the reality is the opposite.

Li Yan hadn't noticed it when she just walked into the building. She glanced at the row of people standing in front of the counter on the first floor, who were quite happy. Today's business is good.In a blink of an eye, I went up to the second floor, and there was another slippery person. This time, I took a closer look. Hey, why are they all at the level of grandparents?The pictures I saw when I passed by the first floor just now flashed through my head, and they seemed to be all old people.

Li Yan suddenly felt that something was wrong. The old people in the villages and towns are not the same as the old people in the city. Few people can really enjoy their old age leisurely.It can be said that the situation of each family is similar, especially in this era, the probability of group activities for the elderly such as Sunset Red is almost zero.

It was precisely because she knew this clearly that Li Yan was really surprised to see so many old people appearing in the building together.She began to vaguely guess why Wei Xianda went to find her.He quickened his pace up the stairs and went to the office on the top floor.

Wei Xianda was scratching his head about the recent problems in the building. Li Yan's appearance undoubtedly made him heave a sigh of relief, and immediately described the situation of the past two days.

In the morning three days ago, some elderly customers came to the building just after opening. It was nothing to do with it. Of course, there will be young and old people who open the door for business. This also shows that the building has a good business and a wide customer base. .No one noticed at first, the salespersons at each counter greeted them enthusiastically and actively. Older people will always be a little deaf, so just repeat it twice more loudly.But how do you know that these old people are very deaf, and they are very good at making crosses. You can ask the price for a piece of soap for a long time, and it takes a while to get the money, and there are various problems when you get back the change. The grinding is endless.It takes an hour or two to complete a transaction, and there are two or three of these old salesmen standing in front of each counter without doing anything.Even if other customers come over, most of them are impatient to wait. If they buy first, they will be said to have jumped in the queue, and they will be punished by several old men and old ladies. No one likes to wait to buy goods.
