Chapter 418 A Difficult Opening

Unfortunately, Liu Shuai still failed, and by then he was out of rings. Everyone could only leave the stall dejectedly.

After another half hour of walking around, as it was getting darker and darker, Xia Mili reminded everyone that it was time to go home. Everyone looked at the night sky and realized that it was indeed very late.

So the group returned to the KTV entrance, got on their bicycles, and prepared to go home. Zhang Haiying and her boyfriend wanted to talk for a while longer, but after saying goodbye to the other girls, they all rode their bicycles home together.

When they reached the fork in the road, they each went their separate ways home.

Meanwhile, Zhang Haiying and Liu Shuai went for a walk in the park. There weren't many people in the park anymore, so the two of them hid under a big tree and started to cuddle affectionately.

Liu Shuai felt smug, thinking that he had finally succeeded. He recalled when they first met, Zhang Haiying had disapproved and looked down on him. Now, he had won her over.

If I hadn't relentlessly pursued her, showered her with sweet words, and spent a fortune on her, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly.

Now that the two have confirmed their relationship, the next step is to discuss engagement and marriage.

Under the big tree, Liu Shuai held Zhang Haiying in his arms and said, "Haying, how about we get engaged at the end of this month?"

Zhang Haiying gently hummed in agreement. Liu Shuai, having heard the answer he wanted, happily kissed her forehead lightly.

The two looked into each other's eyes, their eyes filled with endless happiness and sweetness.

After taking Zhang Haiying home that evening, Liu Shuai rode his motorcycle home whistling.

The next morning, Yunya woke up at around 7 a.m.

Before it's time to start work, they work either the night shift or the morning shift for a whole week.

Today I happened to be working the night shift, so I had plenty of time.

Yunya ate something and then started tidying up her room. She wiped the entire room downstairs, then swept and mopped the floor.

After finishing the cleaning, I started changing the sheets and duvet covers, and then I found some clothes and took them out to wash them.

After a busy morning, it was time to go to work at 9:30. This time, Yunya brought two pancakes and a small jar of chili sauce for lunch.

Bringing your lunch to work not only saves you time queuing for food, but also saves you money.

There are three employees in the shop who bring their own lunches, and they are all married women. Yunya is the first girl to bring her own lunch.

When Yunya arrived at the store, she greeted her colleagues and began working.

At first, the store was deserted. Yunya stood in front of the counter near the door, glancing outside from time to time, hoping that a few customers would come.

Finally, a customer arrived, and Yunya immediately greeted him warmly, introducing the products in detail. However, after picking and choosing, the customer shook his head and left.

Two more people arrived shortly after, and Yunya greeted them with the same enthusiasm, but the result was the same—no deals were made.

Yunya felt anxious and aggrieved, and her eyes gradually reddened. She took a deep breath, trying to hold back her tears, and silently encouraged herself, thinking that maybe the next customer would buy it.

Just then, the shop door was pushed open, and a middle-aged woman dressed simply but with an extraordinary air walked in. Yunya quickly wiped her eyes, forced a smile, and went to greet her.

The woman wanted to buy a pair of leather shoes for her father, and Yunya enthusiastically introduced styles suitable for the elderly.

The woman looked at this and touched that, but ultimately didn't choose anything. She said she had difficulty making decisions and would bring her father over in the afternoon to choose for herself.

Yunya was extremely disappointed; it seemed this sale was going to fail again. While she was introducing the products to the woman, another customer came in to look at men's leather shoes.

Yunya's colleague Han Dajiao took over the customer and introduced a pair of shoes. Unexpectedly, the customer immediately decided to buy them.

Yun Ya's colleague, Han Dajiao, was overjoyed. She immediately issued a sales receipt, and the person went to the cashier to pay, while she began packing the shoes.

Seeing how easily her classmate made another sale, Yunya became even more anxious, and then she couldn't hold back her tears.

Seeing what had happened to Yunya, the proprietress knew that Yunya was having a bad day, so she decided to come and help her out.

So the proprietress came over to comfort Yunya, "Oh dear, why are you crying? Don't worry, once you get your first order, things will go smoothly from here on out."

Yunya pouted and said, feeling wronged, "Auntie, why am I so unlucky today? I'm so unlucky."

The proprietress comforted her, "It's alright, don't worry about it. I'll help you in a bit, and we can serve the customers together."

Hearing this, Yunya felt much more at ease. Now she just had to wait for another new customer; she was determined to succeed.

Sure enough, a customer arrived not long after; he was a very young man.

As soon as he entered the store, he looked around and his eyes fell on a pair of very stylish leather shoes.

Just as Yun Ya was about to step forward, the proprietress quietly patted her, signaling her to go and greet the young man. Yun Ya took a deep breath and walked towards him with a professional smile.

"Hello, these leather shoes are a new style that has just arrived in our store. They are perfect for young people like you, and the material is also of very good quality."

Yun Ya explained in detail, and the boy listened with great interest, occasionally asking a few questions.

Yunya patiently answered all the questions and even took out different sizes for the boys to try on.

The proprietress also chimed in with a few words of praise. After putting it on, the young man looked at himself in the mirror and appeared quite dashing.

He nodded in satisfaction. "Okay, these are the ones."

Yunya was so excited her hands trembled slightly as she quickly wrote out the sales receipt. Only when the boy went to pay did Yunya's heart finally settle down.

The proprietress smiled and said, "Look, we've opened for business! Things will definitely get better and better from here on out."

Yunya stopped crying and started laughing, full of energy as she prepared to greet the next customer.

After opening, Yunya's luck seemed to return, and all the customers she served successfully placed orders.

At lunchtime, Chen Pingping called to Yun Ya to go out and buy some food. Yun Ya said she had brought her own lunch and wouldn't go.

Chen Pingping had no choice but to ask others to go buy food with her. However, Yun Ya's classmate Han Dajiao wasn't hungry and didn't want to buy food.

So Yunya went to the warehouse at the back, took out the food she had brought, and started eating.

Yunya was enjoying her meal when Chen Pingping rushed back, carrying a fragrant bowl of Sichuan noodles.

"Yunya, I brought you some noodles. They're delicious, you should try them."

Yun Ya was a little embarrassed. "I brought my own lunch."

Chen Pingping placed the noodles in front of her, saying, "Oh my, your pancakes don't smell as good as these noodles. Try mine."

Unable to refuse Yun Ya's hospitality, she put down the pancake in her hand, picked up a mouthful of noodles, and put it in her mouth.

The noodles were chewy, and the spicy and savory flavor instantly filled her mouth. Yunya's eyes lit up. "So delicious!"

Chen Pingping smiled smugly, "Of course, I specifically chose this place."

The two chatted as they ate, when Han Dajiao slowly walked over, her mouth watering at the aroma of the noodles.

Chen Pingping warmly invited, "Dajiao, come and have some food."

Han Dajiao hesitated for a moment, "I wasn't hungry."

Chen Pingping pulled her over, "Have some, it's so delicious." So the three of them sat together and ate noodles in a lively atmosphere, filling the warehouse with laughter.

After finishing her noodles, Yunya felt even more energetic and prepared to greet the afternoon's customers in a better state.
