Siheyuan: Sending Shazhu into the call center, Yi Gu is useless

At that time, the store's business had just started to pick up, especially at Ran Qiuye's suggestion, he added some healthy food and books, which attracted the attention of many young parents and children. The business was getting better and better, which made Chen Rufeng feel extremely satisfied, but at the same time, some new opportunities also appeared in front of him.

One day, an unexpected guest came to the courtyard. The man was about the same age as Chen Rufeng, wearing a well-tailored suit and looked very stylish. He claimed to be the manager of a large supermarket chain, responsible for negotiating cooperation matters. The other party's intention was very direct: he hoped that Chen Rufeng could cooperate with them and sell their products in the store, especially some high-profit snacks and drinks.

"Boss Chen, our company is strong, with sufficient supply and considerable profit sharing. As long as you agree to our cooperation, the profit will definitely be much higher than if you run the business alone now." The manager said with a smile, a shrewd look in his eyes.

Chen Rufeng responded with a smile on the surface, but his heart was filled with mixed emotions. He looked at the cooperation agreement handed over by the other party and was hesitant. In theory, expanding the business scope and adding high-profit products is indeed an attractive opportunity. But when he thought that most of these products were high-sugar and high-fat snacks, although popular, they might not be good for children's health, Chen Rufeng felt something was wrong.

"The profits from these products are indeed considerable, but what about the health of the children?" he asked himself. He remembered what Ran Qiuye had said to him: the canteen is not only a place to sell things, but also a part of the children's lives. He understood that if he chose this path, the canteen might become more profitable, but at the same time it would lose its original purity.

That night, Chen Rufeng couldn't sleep. He lay in bed, replaying the conversation in his mind. He knew that this was an opportunity, but it could also be a trap. Cooperation means change, and this change may make him lose the simplicity and satisfaction he has now. He thought of Ran Qiuye, the face that always had a gentle smile, and her words "Children's growth requires multi-faceted attention and guidance." This sentence was like a warning bell, repeatedly knocking on his heart.

The next morning, Chen Rufeng decided to consult Ran Qiuye again. He knew that Ran Qiuye's opinion in this regard was very important to him, and could even be said to be decisive. So, he took advantage of the time when the school just opened and went to the school gate to wait for Ran Qiuye.

"Teacher Ran, can I talk to you?" Chen Rufeng saw Ran Qiuye walking out of the school gate and hurried forward to meet him.

Ran Qiuye was a little surprised to see him, but soon smiled: "Boss Chen, what's the matter?"

Chen Rufeng nodded and said with a hint of hesitation: "Yesterday a supermarket manager came to me to discuss cooperation. He said that he wanted me to sell their products in the store, and the profit would be very high. But I always feel that something is wrong with this matter, so I want to hear your opinion."

After listening to this, Ran Qiuye frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "Boss Chen, I can understand your concerns. The reason why your store is popular is that you run it with your heart, not just to make money, but also for the health and growth of these children. If you choose high-profit goods, it may be good in the short term, but in the long run, will it be in line with your original idea? His mind seemed to gradually become clear. What he had been thinking about was what Ran Qiuye said. Ran Qiuye continued: "I think that you can persist until now, not only because of your business acumen, but also because of your concern and sense of responsibility for this community. If you lose this original intention, no amount of profit can make up for it. "

Every word of Ran Qiuye was like a sharp blade, cutting through Chen Rufeng's inner doubts. He finally made up his mind and stopped being fooled by the immediate benefits. After returning to the store, he immediately called the supermarket manager and politely rejected the proposal for cooperation. After hanging up the phone, he felt relieved, as if a big stone had been removed from his heart.

In the days that followed, Chen Rufeng continued to run the store in his own way. He did not regret rejecting the opportunity, but instead became more determined in his direction. He continued to stock some healthy foods to take care of the children's nutritional needs, and also invested more in books and school supplies. Although the profit may not be that high, he knew that he had chosen a more long-term and meaningful path.

One day, Ran Qiuye came to the store again, still with that gentle smile. After she picked out some stationery, she walked up to Chen Rufeng and asked softly: "How is the business in the store recently? Have you encountered any difficulties? He shook his head and said: "Fortunately, everything is going well. Thank you for reminding me last time, otherwise I might really be blinded by the benefits. A relieved expression appeared on his face: "Boss Chen, I believe your choice must be right. Your store is not just a commercial place, but also a part of the community. Children and parents cannot do without it. He knew that he could get to where he is today because he never forgot his original intention. And Ran Qiuye's support and understanding made him firmer in his beliefs. He was glad that he did not stand on the wrong side at the critical moment, chose to stick to his principles, and chose to care about the community and the growth of children. All of this makes his store even more indispensable in this community.

Chen Rufeng never had the courage to express his feelings to Ran Qiuye, but the feelings grew deeper and deeper in his heart. Every time he saw her, he felt the warmth in his heart, especially the tacit communication between the two of them, which made him feel a hint of hope that was not easily detected. He began to notice more details about her, the books she liked, the stationery she often ordered, and even the subtle emotions she inadvertently revealed. Whenever Ran Qiuye's eyes met his, Chen Rufeng would feel his heartbeat quicken, and the indescribable tension and expectation made it difficult for him to fall asleep at night.

Finally, one day, Chen Rufeng decided not to avoid his feelings anymore. He thought about it for a long time, carefully considered the words, and finally decided to confess to Ran Qiuye. On this day, he specially prepared a bouquet of fresh carnations, thinking that she might like this kind of unobtrusive flowers. He went to the flower shop early in the morning to carefully select the bouquet. He believed that such an expression would not appear too abrupt, but it was enough to convey his feelings.

That afternoon, Ran Qiuye came to the store as usual. She was still so gentle and quiet, and gently pushed open the door, and the wind chimes in the store made a pleasant sound.
