Chapter 403: Chapter 146: The Green Tea Female Supporting Character in a Period Novel (33)

The rest of the merchandise arrived one after another. Chi Yun’er and Xu Chengfang had no time to greet customers; they were completely occupied with logging the goods, moving them to the storeroom, or stocking them on the shelves, so busy their heads were spinning.

The unattended customers, unless they had something urgent, simply stood there craning their necks to watch. They didn’t seem bored in the slightest; instead, they formed a long line and watched with great interest!

Zhao Jinming also brought in five cartloads of goods, one after another. With both the retail space and the warehouse filled to the brim, they had to request an additional vacant room to store the merchandise.

By the time they were finally finished, their backs aching from the labor, it was already past seven in the evening. The shelves were packed full of merchandise, and nearly half of a thick notebook was filled with entries.

After getting off work and eating at the cafeteria, the old director, Mr. Chi, and a few others packed three meals to bring over, stopping by to check on things.

At this hour, most of the employees had already gone home. Only the on-duty medical staff and the inpatient department still had their lights on; the rest of the grounds were shrouded in twilight.

The two lights at the entrance to the retail store seemed especially bright. More importantly, a group of determined customers was already lined up, wanting to be the first to take advantage of the special offers. Some had even rushed through dinner to come back and stake out their spots!

The director and his companions were taken aback. "Old Chi, your little girl didn’t go around telling people about the store opening just to draw a crowd, did she?"

Mr. Chi shook his head. "Did your Jinming call people over?"

The director shook his head as well. "That boy is busier than I am. We barely see each other these days. If he had asked any relatives for help, is it possible I wouldn’t have heard a single word about it?"

"That settles it, then. Maybe it’s just that our hospital opening a retail store is such a novelty that everyone’s coming to support the unit’s new side business after work and dinner?" someone ventured.

As they drew closer, they saw Chi Yun’er and Xu Chengfang, each manning a service window and asking customers what they wanted.

They would calculate the total cost in cash and coupons based on the quantity, making a quick note in the book.

Zhao Jinming, meanwhile, was responsible for running all over the room to grab the items for customers...

One person would ask for cookies and candy, another for canned goods and brown sugar. Customers would subconsciously round their purchases up to the nearest yuan, then leave gleefully, clutching a bottle of soda!

At this, Zhao Jinming and Xu Chengfang’s hearts bled. ’A bottle of soda costs four and a half fen, and we’re just giving them away like that?’

But as much as it pained them, they maintained beaming smiles and gentle voices, making sure every customer felt warmly welcomed and valued.

The line inched forward, but as it did, new people who had heard the news would constantly join the end...
