my naughty female president

Chapter 30: The Story of the Stone

It was just after dawn on Sunday morning. For the first time in my life, I woke up naturally before the alarm clock went off. After a simple wash, I went out and hailed a taxi and went straight to Daxue Road.

When we came to the entrance of the flower shop, the sun had just shone its first gleam, and the shutters of the flower shop had been closed. Two rows of welcome flower baskets were placed at the door, and even the cake of firecrackers bought yesterday was ready.

I walked into the fragrant flower shop and saw Shi Shi and his mother sitting on the stools by the counter in full dress, looking a little nervous, as if they were preparing for a battle.

This is indeed like a battle. If the flower shop cannot achieve the expected results and meet the needs of the two of them in life, then perhaps the only way to wait for them is to return to the countryside, and their lives will start on a different path from now on. very different paths.

Although I am quite confident in the marketing planning and advertising that I have done before, I am inevitably a little nervous at the moment.I pretended to be relaxed and said some irrelevant words to them, trying to divert their attention and make them less nervous.

I know that if I also show a nervous look at this moment, it will undoubtedly make them more disturbed.Sure enough, my composure gradually eased their nerves.

When it was close to nine o’clock, I saw that other shops outside were opening for business one after another. Presumably it would not affect other people’s rest at this moment, so I lit firecrackers and tore off the red cloth on the plaque, and this flower shop called Shitouji officially opened.

After the firecrackers went off, I sat next to the stone, and the three of us waited for the customers to come.Time passed by every minute and every second, making me feel that every second is so long.

None of the three of them spoke, and I knew that their moods were beginning to tense again, and even I couldn't pretend to be relaxed anymore.

At this moment, we are like college entrance examination candidates waiting for the release of their transcripts. No matter how much effort we have made and how extraordinary we have performed, no one will know the result until the results come out.

I couldn't help being secretly nervous. If I fail the exam this time, it will not only affect the lives of the two of them, it may directly change their lives.

Finally, when it was close to ten o'clock, we waited for the first customer.It was a middle-aged man, and when he entered the door, he said that today is the 15th anniversary of his marriage with his wife, and let us prepare a bouquet of flowers for him.

The tension of the three of us was released at once, especially Mother Stone, who was so excited that she finally saw a glimmer of light in the endless night. Although the halo was small and weak, it represented hope.She hurriedly got up to choose bouquets for the guests, and I hurriedly entertained the guests to sit down, pour water and smoke.

Our excessive enthusiasm seemed to make this middle-aged man feel a little surprised, and he looked at me and then at Mother Stone with a hint of doubt on his expression.

I smiled and tried to explain to him, and after thinking about it, I told him the truth: "Sir, don't misunderstand, to tell you the truth, this flower shop just opened today, and you are our first customer. Your visit means a lot to us." It has extraordinary significance and has given us great encouragement and hope." I said as humbly as possible.

Hearing what I said, the man showed a dazed expression on his face, and said with a smile: "So that's the case. Congratulations on your business opening. Your bonsai flowers and plants are very beautiful. Believe me, you will definitely make a lot of money!"

I thanked him repeatedly and poured him tea again.After a while, Mother Stone brought a large bouquet of tied red roses, and the man took it and said with joy, "This is the most beautiful rose I have ever seen. My wife will definitely like it very much. Thank you." .”

Seeing that the guest was so satisfied, Shitou's mother hurriedly said: "Sir, you are overjoyed. I wish you and your wife a happy life!"

The man nodded in a good mood, turned his eyes to the shelf again, looked at it for a while, chose another potted plant, and then paid and left.

After the man left, the three of us glanced at each other and found that everyone's mood had improved, so we couldn't help smiling at the same time.

It may be that the first customer brought us good luck. As soon as he left, another customer came. More and more people came, even at the peak time, there were even a dozen customers waiting in the store. It is not too much to describe it as a crowd.

The customers greeted Shitou's mother and Shitou very familiarly, and even called Shishi's name with certainty.

But I know that these customers who can accurately name Shishi should be netizens who have read my post. I think their clothes should be students from a nearby university. They are kind and they really came to patronize the flower shop.

I can't help feeling a little bit, in this world where humanity is lost, perhaps only these students who have not set foot in society can still keep a kind heart. I hope they can always be kind, I think.

We were busy until noon, when the number of customers in the hotel decreased a little, but one or two customers would still come one after another.

I asked Shitou to simply buy three takeaways, and the three of them simply dealt with lunch and then greeted waves of guests in the afternoon.

Shi Shi is responsible for packing the bouquets and potted plants selected by the guests for the mother, and I am responsible for entertaining the guests and collecting money.

I spent the whole afternoon busy, and the extra branches and leaves cut from the stone mother's feet have piled up a thick layer, and my fingers for collecting money are a little stiff and numb.

Although the excitement and excitement in my heart couldn't be clearly expressed in my busy schedule, I was very clear in my heart. I knew that my kindness would eventually change the fate of two people. Although I paid almost the price of all my wealth, At the moment it all seems worthwhile.

Until seven o'clock in the evening, the number of customers finally decreased. After a quarter of an hour after the last customer left, there were no more customers. I pulled down the shutter halfway to indicate closing.

Turning back to Shitou's mother and Shitou, he said, "Sister Shishi, you all come and have a rest!" After speaking, he sat down on the chair and tilted his stiff back as far as possible, and when he relaxed, the tense nerves and tiredness swept over him all at once. Come, this day really made me tired, I think Shitou and his mother must be similar to me.

Mrs. Shi and Shitou also came over and sat on the chair next to me. Shitou’s mother looked at me and said, “Mr. Wei, thank you!” Thank you for helping her all day today, but thank me for everything I have done for her. Some words need not be said too clearly, and everything can be explained with a look.

I smiled and shook my head and said, "Don't say thank you, Mrs. Shi, who made me have a relationship with Shi Shi. In fact, I didn't do anything. I just don't want to see Shi Shi so young and drop out of school and go back to the countryside to farm. He's still young, he should have other options."

"Uncle Wei, you are a good person, and I will be a good person like you when I grow up!" Shitou raised his thin face and looked at me seriously.

I couldn't help but smile, rubbed his head and said with a smile: "Don't you, I'm not a good role model, you'd better be a promising person!" It's the truth.

After resting for a while, I suddenly remembered that I hadn’t counted the turnover after collecting the money for the whole day, so I reached out and pulled out the money drawer and handed it to Shi Shi, saying, “Count it and see how much it is!”

Shi Shi took the drawer with a surprised expression on his face and said, "Wow, so much money!" He turned to show his mother again, as if he had never seen so much money before, and his mouth couldn't close his mouth in shock.

Shitou's exaggerated expression made me more or less feel a sense of accomplishment. If it weren't for me, he might have returned to the countryside. This is the truth, and I think I can really be proud.So he said to him: "No prospect, this is only so much, there will be more in the future, don't startle your eyeballs out by then. Hurry up and count."

Stone's already radiant eyes became a little bit more colorful after hearing me say this. He is probably already imagining what it would be like to put more money in the drawer than this.He didn't speak any more and quickly lowered his head to sort out the messy banknotes in the drawer.

After tidying up, he counted carefully. It took him about 5 minutes to finish counting. He looked up at me and said with surprise, "Uncle, the total is 850 yuan."

Before I could speak, Shitou's mother spoke first. She also looked shocked, and said in a tone of disbelief, "So many? Did you count the stones wrong?"

"Mom, I'm already in the fourth grade, okay? I'm so good at math, how can I count wrong!" Shitou saw his mother questioning his annoyed excuse.

Shitou's mother looked up at me again and said with a little excitement: "Mr. Wei, I didn't expect to sell so many on the first day. This is all thanks to you. There are many customers who know Shishi's name as soon as they come. Although you didn't Said, I don't know what method you used, but I think it must be your hard work for this flower shop that the business is so good today. Thank you, Mr. Wei!"

I didn't expect her to be able to deduce that I was behind the scenes based on this alone. It seems that although she is an old-fashioned woman from the countryside and hasn't read much, she is actually a very thoughtful woman.Based on this, I believe she is fully capable of running the store independently.

"Yes, I did some publicity on the Internet and distributed some flyers. But this is just a preliminary promotion for the flower shop. Although it seems to be working well now, it will slowly lose popularity soon, and we still have to do it in the future. Only by your business can you build a customer base, so what I do is only a limited number of things, and it's also very simple, so don't be polite to me, Sister Shi."

I was afraid that she would have some psychological burden, so I said it in an understatement.
