Siheyuan: Making a fortune every day, breaking the defense of the whole courtyard

"Jia Zhang and others have been arrested. What do you think about this matter?" someone asked.

"What's so special about this? The police from the police station have already gone to the door to arrest the person!" another person responded.

"That's right, that's not the case! I heard that this time, they framed Zhang Xiao, Qin Huairu and others. And they also accused Zhang Xiao and others of serious crimes, even calling them traitors?" Someone else echoed.

"Bah! How dare you call Zhang Xiao a traitor? He has never even been out of Beijing! Besides, when Zhang Xiao was born, there weren't many spies around!"

One of them angrily refuted this ridiculous statement.

"Oh, I won't say any more! Have you heard? Zhang Xiao's store is having a big sale and crazy discounts! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I have to quickly run over and line up to buy it!"

One of them spoke hurriedly, quickening his pace as he spoke, as if he was afraid of missing out on something great.

"Hey, hey, hey, wait for me! You're running too fast."

"Oh, there's nothing I can do. If I don't buy some pork today, the tigress at home will never let me off... She's been talking about wanting to eat braised pork for a long time. If I come back empty-handed, she'll definitely give me a good beating."

The other person was panting and chasing after the person in front of him, muttering and complaining all the time.

"Then why are we still dawdling? Hurry up and run! If we get there too late, those cheap and affordable good things will probably be snatched up by others, and then we'll be crying!"

The person who started first turned around and shouted to his companions behind him, while running faster and faster.

The residents of Courtyard No. 95 witnessed the scene happening before their eyes and couldn't help but feel emotional and sigh.

Just recently, when they heard that Yi Zhonghai and a few others were trying to use those things to blackmail Zhang Xiao, most people chose to stand by and watch.

At that time, everyone had their own calculations in mind. If what Yi Zhonghai and others said was true, then they might consider participating in it later and take the opportunity to reap some benefits.

But if this is not the case, they decided to remain neutral, neither helping Yi Zhonghai's side nor offending Zhang Xiao, so as not to bring trouble to themselves.

After all, no one wants to lose the special relationship with Zhang Xiao because of a momentary impulse.

You know, as residents living in the same compound, they have a small but quite affordable preferential policy with Zhang Xiao - three opportunities to enjoy a 95% discount on shopping every month.

For some families, these three discounts may be enough, but for other residents, they simply cannot use up so many times.

Thus, a "business opportunity" quietly emerged: those who cannot use up their discounts can "sell" them to other people in need. In this way, they can earn a considerable extra income every month.

Therefore, no matter what, they were unwilling to easily destroy the tacit understanding and chain of interests between them and Zhang Xiao.

Some people, after all, could not resist the temptation thrown by Yi Zhonghai and others.

They stared eagerly at the astonishing amount of wealth in Zhang Xiao's hands, and their hearts were already itching to get their hands on it!

As a result, this group of people willingly helped Yi Zhonghai and others spread the rumor that Zhang Xiao was an enemy spy.

However, what happens now?

On the same afternoon that Yi Zhonghai and his accomplices were arrested, these accomplices were also taken away by the relevant authorities.

Until now, they have not returned.

When the anxious relatives went to visit them, they brought back shocking news: these people were suspected of colluding with external forces and were currently under observation and investigation.

As for when he can be released, that is really an unknown!

The word "undetermined" is really intriguing, and all kinds of speculations and rumors have become rampant.

However, if we were to say which version is the most convincing, it would be the one told by the three aunts.

It is said that Zhang Xiao actively responded to the country's policy call and took the lead in opening this convenience store.

Oh, that’s not right. Nowadays it’s not called a convenience store. It’s called a supermarket!

Moreover, this supermarket is much larger than an ordinary convenience store, and the goods are more complete and comprehensive.

From daily necessities such as clothing and food to daily necessities and travel tools that are indispensable for home life, there is everything you can expect.

It is no exaggeration to say that nowadays in this city of ours, if a family does not have a few items from Zhang Xiao’s store, they would be embarrassed to say hello to others when they go out and claim that they are a native of this place!

Not only that, the huge transportation team and numerous enthusiastic and thoughtful service staff behind Zhang Xiao Supermarket have created a large number of valuable employment opportunities for the country, which can be said to be an invaluable contribution!

This undoubtedly sets an excellent example and a good start for various industries!

All of a sudden, all kinds of shops sprang up in the streets and alleys, including cozy pubs, small restaurants full of fireworks, and so on.

The business model adopted by these emerging stores is Zhang Xiao’s highly acclaimed system, with service first as the core concept.

Speaking of the treatment of the staff in Zhang Xiao’s convenience store, it is truly enviable.

They work on a five-day-on-two-day shift system and only need to work eight hours a day.

In addition, there are various allowances and benefits, including but not limited to performance appraisal bonuses and holiday gifts.

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as the employees are diligent and hard-working enough, their monthly income will even exceed that of the workers who are working hard in the factories today.

Such generous treatment conditions give housewives who originally did not have jobs the opportunity to earn income through their own labor and support the entire family.

Their living standards have been greatly improved compared to the past, and their lives are becoming more prosperous and comfortable.

Even those who fail to successfully apply for a job at Zhang Xiao Supermarket do not need to feel discouraged or frustrated, because they can go to other places with similar business models for employment, and the wages they can earn will be equally considerable.

After all, as a pioneer and leader in this field, Zhang Xiao naturally became the object of learning and emulation by many peers.

"Those who say Zhang Xiao is a spy are really idiots." Aunt Three sighed.

Fortunately, the Yan family resisted the temptation.
