After learning that Bo Ling was actually Brother Bai Chuan's sister, Yu Changxi was surprised and felt a hint of joy in his heart.
He greeted Boling shyly: "Hello, we meet again."
Boling smiled lightly: "I didn't expect to meet again so soon. I haven't finished reading the book I borrowed from you."
With the opportunity to borrow books earlier, and knowing that he was Meng Jiuan's brother-in-law, Bo Ling was not as cold as when they first met.
Yu Changxi waved his hand quickly: "It doesn't matter, don't be in a hurry, just read slowly. I have many books, and there is still more to read!"
Bo Ling pursed his lips and smiled: "By the way, I forgot to ask you last time how I would repay you after reading the book. Now I'm fine. I know you are Brother Jiu'an's brother-in-law, and I can find a way to repay you."
Yu Changxi scratched his head and felt a little embarrassed: "I would have forgotten if you didn't tell me. I just wanted to know that you are a police officer and forgot to introduce myself."
"I just got admitted to the Biology Department of Yuzhou Normal University this year. After you finish reading, you can come to me at the school, or I can come to you at the police station."
There was a trace of admiration in Boling's eyes: "So you are a college student. Then after I finish reading, I will go to the school to find you to return the books."
Yu Changxi nodded shyly, silently imagining that he would be able to see Bo Ling again in the near future and couldn't help but be happy.
The siblings went back to the police station with Bo Ling to explain the entire incident. Without wasting much time, Bo Ling sent them out.
"Sister-in-law, there have been several cases in Jinbo City in the past few days. It is not very peaceful. You must be extra careful when going out. If it is too late, try not to go out."
Meng Jiuan said this once just now, and now Bo Ling mentioned it again, and Yu Changle remembered it in his heart:
"Okay, thank you for the reminder. I'll remember it and come to my house for dinner when I have time."
Bo Ling nodded. She also had a good impression of the siblings, not to mention they were the family members of her old brother.
As the two of them left the police station and walked to the clothing store, they remembered why there was one person missing?
Yu Changle asked Yu Changxi: "Did you see when Sister-in-law Li left?"
Yu Changxi shook his head. A conflict broke out soon after the three of them were watching the excitement. At that time, he was highly focused on dealing with those gangsters and did not notice when Sister-in-law Li left.
Yu Changle was also puzzled. She recalled carefully, and it seemed that she had not seen Li Meiren since the conflict started.
Thinking about how Li Mei was usually honest and down-to-earth, and had explanations for things she did, she would not suspect that Li Mei was a villain who would just stay away for fear of getting into trouble. She was just a little worried that she had something urgent and left before she even had time to say anything. She didn't know what she was doing now. What is the situation.
However, Jinbo City is so big and crowded, and the siblings cannot look around like headless flies. After thinking about it, they decided that it would be safest to go back to the store and wait for Li Mei.
Seeing that it was approaching noon, Li Mei appeared at the door of the store in despair.
Yu Changle immediately went out to welcome him. Seeing Li Mei's condition, he couldn't help but feel a little worried:
"Sister-in-law Li, where have you been? You've worried me so much. Did something happen to you?"
Li Mei came back to her senses, her face full of guilt: "Changle, I'm sorry, I was so anxious that I forgot to tell you first, it is indeed... something urgent happened."
Seeing her still sad face, Yu Changle knew that the matter must not be resolved, so he expressed concern:
"What happened? Do you want to tell us and we can help you figure it out together? It's better than trying to figure it out alone."
Li Mei looked at the concerned siblings Yu Changle and Yu Changxi, opened her mouth as if he was hesitant to speak, and finally let out a long sigh:
"It's... hard to talk about."
When Yu Changle heard what she said, he couldn't force himself, so he just warned:
"It's okay if you don't want to say it. We're just worried about you. If you need our help, just ask and don't be polite."
Li Mei nodded gratefully: "Don't worry, sister, sister-in-law understands."
Now that Li Mei is back, Yu Changle closed the store and led the two of them to a state-owned hotel for lunch.
The state-owned hotel is not far from the clothing store, and the prices are more affordable than Haokelai. No matter how delicious the food is, Yu Changle cannot eat it every day with his current financial strength.
I simply ordered a shredded pork with Beijing sauce, a stir-fried gourd melon, a three-fresh soup, and three bowls of rice. The total cost was only one yuan and forty cents.
Although it's not that cheap, at least it's much more affordable than the five or six yuan a meal costs at a hotel in Haoke.
Li Mei still couldn't help but feel a little distressed: "Listen to me, just eat a sesame seed cake to cushion your stomach. How can you spend so much money to cook this order at home!"
Yu Changle was happy to see that she was in better spirits and could now worry about spending money:
"This little money is nothing. When our store opens and the business is good in the future, we will ask the state-owned hotel to deliver employee meals to us, so that we don't have to bring them from home."
Li Mei was speechless after hearing this: "Don't! How much money will it cost? I can't bear to eat in state-owned restaurants every day."
Yu Changle smiled and said he wouldn't argue with her now. When the time comes, he would arrange it directly and she would have to eat even if she didn't want to.
The three of them returned to the store after eating and drinking, and were ready to do some finishing work before returning to the compound. Most of the things were sorted out while the siblings were waiting for Li Mei.
Li Mei felt very sorry: "Tell me, it was my suggestion to go to the city to clean up the shop today, but in the end I couldn't do anything and only had a meal, which is really shameful!"
Yu Changle comforted her and said jokingly: "When the store opens, there are still many things to do. Are you afraid that there will be nothing to do? Then my sister-in-law will stop complaining to me every day. I will thank God."
Li Mei immediately expressed her determination: "That can't happen! I also hope that our store will have a prosperous business. The more customers the better, I am always happy even if I am busy all day long!"
Li Mei said this not just because of her enthusiasm. Yu Changle specifically mentioned her salary issue to her a few days ago, and also provided her with two ways to choose:
The first is a fixed-shift system, where you work in the store from Monday to Saturday, receive customers when there are customers, and make orders when there are no customers. The basic salary is 20 yuan, and the piece rate is 50 cents per piece, and one piece for a suit;
The second type is the home-based system, where the entire work process is done at home, with only piece-rate wages and no basic wages.
After much consideration and discussion with her husband, Li Mei decided to choose the first option.
Firstly, because she has a basic salary of 20 yuan, which is on par with the salary level of ordinary workers in the city. Secondly, because her children are older and have to go to school during the day, so she only needs to pick them up after get off work. Thirdly, she considers going to the store It has just opened and has not yet recruited other people. Yu Changle will definitely be too busy by himself.
Of course, Yu Changle was also very happy about her choice, and she had a follow-up surprise that she didn't tell Li Mei. When the business got on track, she would increase her basic salary and commission based on level and skill. What she earned in her store There will only be much more than anywhere else!
While the two were talking, a disheveled figure suddenly jumped out of the floor-to-ceiling glass window facing the street. Yu Changxi, who was cleaning the glass on a stool, was so frightened that he almost fell from the height.
A heart-rending wail came through the glass:
"Help...help!"
