“Think in reverse.”
"Tsk tsk, college students are just different...Speaking of which, your company is quite interesting. When you found me a few days ago, I thought you were joking."
"Uncle, we are here to trouble you, the company must have paid you."
"Of course, who would do it if they don't pay?"
"how much?"
"Not much, just 500. They told me to try my best to cooperate with you, but I can't do any price reduction or promotion."
"Oh......"
"Brother, I want to discuss something with you."
"Huh? What's the matter?"
"Well, why don't you switch jobs and come work for me? I'll let you be the store manager!"
"No uncle, your supermarket doesn't even have a clerk..."
"Who said there isn't one? Isn't this a power source? Are you going to charge your phone?"
"..."
There were few people on the sidewalk, but the sun was shining brightly.
Leaning against the cashier counter, Lu Chen chatted with the boss. Zhou Yan and the other two had been gone for more than ten minutes, and no one had returned yet.
But no one called to report the problem, so it is probably not a big problem.
In Lu Chen's opinion, the whole plan is a win-win situation for all three parties.
Because of the need to pay costs, the supermarket owner may not necessarily make much extra money, but he has played a good role in attracting customers. At least he has let many people know that there is a supermarket here.
The owners of the other three supermarkets can take a day off with pay.
He can lead the loser team to easily win the "Holy Grail Battle".
All in all a perfect plan.
Well, it could be a little more perfect.
"boss."
Thinking of this, Lu Chen looked up and asked, "Do you have a marker?"
"Ah? Yes, it's on the row of shelves at the back."
The boss pointed in a direction, then watched Lu Chen walk to the shelf and get a black marker and some A4 paper.
After spreading the paper on the cashier counter and thinking for a moment, Lu Chen quickly picked up the pen and wrote a line of large characters.
[Our store is closed today. If you want to shop, please move 100 meters east! ]
After writing the words, he drew a big arrow below.
As luck would have it, Zhang Yuan came back just as Lu Chen finished all this.
Judging from the latter's expression, he must have completed the task successfully.
"Done?"
"Yeah! It's done!"
"how much did you spend?"
"Only five hundred!"
Zhang Yuan looked very excited: "It just so happened that the boss lady of that supermarket felt a little unwell today, and she was planning to take some time to go to the hospital, so when I mentioned 500, she agreed! She didn't even raise the price!"
"..."
Brother, you are quite happy, right?
They were about to close the store and go to the hospital, but when they met someone like you who was giving them money, how could they not agree? ?
Glancing at the delighted Zhang Yuan, Lu Chen shook his head, thinking that this shop could probably be acquired for 200 yuan.
However, seeing the former so excited, he didn't say anything, but handed over the "notice" he had just written.
"That's great. Go put this on the door of that store."
"This is......"
Zhang Yuan took it and looked at it, and was instantly impressed: "Team Leader, you are so thoughtful!"
"Okay, let's go."
"Okay! I'll go right away."
Taking the A4 paper and borrowing some tape from the boss, Zhang Yuan left happily again.
After about two minutes, Jiang Lanlan also came back.
Unlike Zhang Yuan, Jiang Lanhua paid 600 yuan and had to spend a lot of time to persuade the supermarket owner she was in charge to give in.
Although it cost her an extra hundred dollars, judging from the way she recounted the story, it was undoubtedly much more difficult than Zhang Yuan's.
Lu Chen still didn't say anything, but just gave her a notice and asked her to post it.
Then, before the latter could leave, Zhou Yan walked into the supermarket.
"Team leader! Mission accomplished successfully!"
"Well, let's go back again."
"Ah? Oh, are you going to post this...Aren't you going to ask me how much it cost?"
"How many?"
"Only three hundred!"
"Huh? Why so little?"
"Because I'm beautiful!"
"Boom~"
Suddenly, there was a muffled sound from the store door.
Looking back at Jiang Lanlan who was holding her head, Zhou Yan asked with concern: "Lanlan, are you okay?"
"No, it's okay..."
Jiang Lanlan quickly waved her hands, lowered her head and ran away with a red face.
"What happened to her?"
Zhou Yan looked puzzled: "It feels weird."
"Nothing, you should go too."
Lu Chen curled his lips and rolled his eyes in his heart.
Sure enough, this is what a woman is.
Even a dull good student cannot help but care about his or her appearance.
......
Three o'clock in the afternoon, in a milk tea shop not far from a small supermarket.
At the table by the window, four people each had a cup of milk tea in front of them. They sipped their tea while enjoying the air conditioning, without any sense of urgency about the game that was going on.
It's not that I'm lazy, but there's really nothing to do.
After all, once those three supermarkets closed, Lu Chen and his team’s mission was completed.
So they took a taxi to a nearby shopping mall to have lunch and then watched a movie.
After coming back from the movie, I chatted with the boss for a while. After learning that the turnover had indeed skyrocketed, I came back to drink milk tea with great confidence, intending to spend the last bit of time in the milk tea shop.
"Team Leader, do we really need to write down what we did today in the report?"
Holding the milk tea, Jiang Lanlan asked worriedly, "I see that other groups in the group are working very hard, and some even didn't have lunch."
"But it's not good for us to watch a movie and drink milk tea at the same time."
"What's wrong with this? Work is like study. We only look at the results, not the process."
Lu Chen waved his hand and didn't care.
He also looked at the group chat and saw that there were indeed quite a few people posting "work photos" in it.
Some were soliciting customers on the streets, some made some very simple billboards on the spot, and some were handing out handwritten flyers.
Some people even show off their "opening orders".
[The tenth order today! The customer spent 34.5 yuan! Come on, Group 3! ]
【Attached photo! Customer receipt! 】
It has both pictures and texts, making it look like a pyramid scheme.
There is clearly no requirement to report the situation in the group... maybe they think this will get extra points?
It doesn't matter.
Anyway, I'm sure to win.
Hmm? So this is what it means to “win without doing anything”...
Looking through the floor-to-ceiling window at the bustling scene in the small supermarket across the street, Lu Chen silently sighed that it would be great if life could be like this.
At this moment, Zhou Yan also joined the discussion seriously.
“Who says learning is all about results? Although grades are important, being able to apply what you learn is more important.”
“Tsk, wait until liberal arts majors don’t have to learn calculus anymore.” Lu Chen turned around and looked at him with disdain.
"Lu Chen, you are so stubborn."
"Just the facts. After all, I really can't figure out when I will use calculus in my life."
Lu Chen was still upset about failing calculus in his freshman year: "Let alone calculus, apart from math classes, I have never used math knowledge other than addition, subtraction, multiplication and division in my daily life."
"But learning mathematics can cultivate people's logical thinking ability!"
