My sister broke off her engagement to marry someone richer? My older sister married me and became in

Nanny Liu had a very loud voice, which made dust fall from the roof.

The crowd following behind completely erupted in uproar.

"Don't push, Lao Liu! I was here first, I want to order one too!"

"This is my husband's deposit, register it for me first!"

"Ouch, who stepped on my foot? Young man, hurry up and grab your notebook! It's Unit 2, Building 3, Provincial Party Committee Compound!"

A dozen or so family members, dressed in military overcoats and wearing sheepskin hats, all rushed into the shop.

The once spacious lobby suddenly had no room to even step.

Hands clutching banknotes reached over Monkey Three's head and frantically handed them forward.

The solid wood railing in front of the counter creaked from being squeezed.

Chen Meili stood in front of the abacus, and an excited old woman tore half of the account book in her hand.

"What's going on here...?"

Wu Dafa's mouth was half open, his eyes fixed on the gate of Xiushan Industrial, which was about to burst open, his eyeballs almost bulging out.

The skinny man next to him, wearing a leather hat, gasped.

"Old Wu... is he possessed?"

"Are those people relatives of people from the provincial party committee compound? I saw Old Zhang's wife from the municipal discipline inspection commission!"

Wu Dafa gritted his teeth, making a grinding sound.

"Impossible... This is absolutely impossible."

He forced out a gurgling sound from his throat.

"The snow has blocked our path for four days, and we haven't seen a single one of them. Why should we hand over money as soon as we arrive?"

Xiao Si stood to the side, shrinking his neck, not daring to say a complete sentence.

"Boss, did we misjudge him this time?"

Wu Dafa suddenly turned his head and slapped Xiao Si on the back of the head.

"Shut your mouth!"

At the bottom of the steps, Master Zhao from the lion dance team was still standing on one leg, holding up the lion's head.

Old Li, who sells firecrackers nearby, was still clutching half a lit fuse in his hand.

"Old Zhao, am I seeing things?"

Old Li swallowed hard and pointed to the pile of banknotes dangling in the shop.

"These tightwads in the compound, they'd peel a whole bunch of scallions before buying them, what's gotten into them today?"

Master Zhao bent down to pick up the lion head and patted off the snow foam.

"Good heavens, I've been performing lion dances for half my life, but this is the first time I've ever seen anything like it."

"This isn't a business opening, it's a bunch of people scrambling to give away money!"

The atmosphere inside Xiushan Industrial's store was lively.

"Quiet!"

Lin Xiulan stepped onto the tall wooden box behind the counter.

She picked up a copper hammer used for cracking walnuts and smashed it down on the copper gong hanging on the wall with a "clang".

The piercing sound of the gong briefly drowned out the clamor of the crowd.

"Thank you all for coming! There's plenty of food, but the rules must be followed!"

The copper hammer in her hand pointed out the door.

"Monkey Three, move two tables to the doorway!"

"Everyone who wants to order a set meal, go outside and form two lines!"

"Please cooperate with the registration and confirmation process, and don't cause any problems."

Among the crowd were many high-ranking individuals who hadn't been given orders in a long time, and their expressions immediately turned somewhat unpleasant.

"Do I have to wait in line to deliver money to your door?"

Lin Xiulan softened her tone and explained gently.

"These are top-quality mountain delicacies directly transported from Changbai Mountain. We believe in slow and meticulous work."

Monkey Three comes out and puts on a cold face.

"Everyone has tasted our quality. If you feel uncomfortable queuing, there's no queue at the dry goods store across the street; just turn left when you exit."

The crowd fell silent for a moment.

The woman with glasses was taken aback. She glanced at Wu Dafa's deserted, dilapidated stall across the street, then immediately turned away.

"Fine, let's queue, Aunt Liu, we'll stand here!"

These families living in the compound are usually very stubborn and concerned about saving face.

The more aloof you are, the more precious they will think it is.

The crowd began to move, quickly forming two long lines in the snow.

Monkey Three turned his head and greeted people.

"Sister Chen, time to get to work!"

Chen Meili took off her thick cotton-padded coat, rolled up her sleeves, and the abacus beads under her hands left a blur.

"Order number one, ninety-nine yuan, Building No. 3, Provincial Party Committee Compound, Liu Cuihua!"

Monkey Three, holding a pencil moistened with saliva, wrote rapidly on a brown paper notebook.

For each person he registered, he would stuff a thick stack of ten-yuan notes into the tin box under the counter.

"Order number two, ninety-nine yuan, Construction Bureau staff quarters..."

Time passed second by second.

For two whole hours, the line of people in front of the writing desks not only did not decrease, but actually grew longer and longer.

The sun was almost at its zenith.

Monkey Three's wrists were so sore that he couldn't hold a pencil anymore, and three pencil tips had already worn down.

The two large metal suitcases that Chen Meili brought could no longer be closed.

Bundles of ten-yuan, fifty-yuan, and one-hundred-yuan bills were piled up into a small mountain.

After checking the last line of accounts, Chen Meili's hand trembled, and she almost spilled red ink on the ledger.

She leaned close to Lin Xiulan's ear, her voice extremely low and trembling.

"Sister Xiulan, all five hundred spots have been filled."

"On paper, a total of 49,500 silver dollars were collected."

Fifty thousand yuan.

This money not only covered all the losses of the past few days, but also allowed the physical store of Xiushan mountain products to take root in the provincial capital.

It's a good start.

Lin Xiulan took a deep breath.

"Receive the orders and close the accounts."

Monkey Three immediately shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Everyone, we're really sorry, but the first batch of 500 meal sets is already full!"

He hung a wooden sign that read "Sold Out" at the door.

The hundred or so people who were originally queuing up suddenly started making a ruckus.

A fat old man wearing a woolen overcoat stepped over the queuing barrier and grabbed Monkey Three by the collar.

"What do you mean 'gone'? I stood in line for an hour and a half, my toes were numb from the cold, and you're telling me it's gone?"

The fat old man spat all over Monkey Three's face.

"Do you even know which organization I work for? How dare you withhold my things!"

A woman next to her, carrying a leather bag, also started banging on the door.

"If you don't process our application today, you can forget about keeping your shop open!"

"Yes! Why do those in front get them, but we don't?!"

"Call your boss out here!"

The sentiment is exciting.

These family members living in the compound are used to being pampered; they've never experienced such humiliation.

Dozens of people pushed forward at once, and Monkey Three was pushed back several steps, knocking over benches.

Chen Meili quickly instructed the two young men to brace themselves against the counter.

The situation was about to spiral out of control again.

It's even more dangerous than when we were panic buying earlier.

Having offended this group of people, Xiushan Industry will find it difficult to operate in the provincial capital.

Across the street, Wu Dafa's eyes blazed with renewed fire.

He smashed the remaining piece of the teapot handle into the snow.

"Good! Well done!"

Wu Dafa grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth, his face contorted into a smile.

"Greed knows no bounds. Does he really think these big shots are so easy to please?"

He pointed in Lin Xiulan's direction and gave instructions to Xiao Si beside him.

"Just you wait, this young wife is going to be in big trouble."

"If she can't produce the goods today, these guys might just tear her shop down!"

"If she agrees to release the goods, then her earlier claim of 'limited edition' will be worthless. Who will believe her then?"

"She's caught in a dilemma, let's see how she dies!"

The others in the industry also joined in the sneer, just waiting to see how Xiushan Industry would fare.

The noise in the lobby drowned out the sound of the wind outside.

The fat old man grabbed a handful of loose change and slammed it hard onto the wooden counter, sending the coins rolling all over the floor.

"You have to register me today! I'll pay double!"

Faced with the surging sound, Monkey Three broke out in a cold sweat.

Lin Xiulan reached out and patted Hou San on the shoulder, signaling him to step back.

Then, under the intense gazes of the crowd, she stepped onto the tall wooden box once more.

"Everyone."

"The regular annual subscription package at 99 yuan is indeed completely sold out."

The fat old man below was about to open his mouth and curse.

Lin Xiulan changed the subject.

"However, the fact that you all have been queuing for so long in the snow shows that you are all distinguished guests of Xiushan Industry."

"To thank everyone for their support, we have prepared a unique surprise for everyone present."

She turned to look at Chen Meili.

"Beautiful, go to the back warehouse and bring out those twelve red pine boxes."
