When She Stops Being Dramatic novel Chapter 406

Chapter 406: Chapter 147: The Green Tea Female Side Character in a Period Novel (34)

After chugging some cool water, Zhao Jinming caught his breath and came over, eager to take credit. "Director Chi, I’ve got the refrigerators and freezers sorted out!"

"There was a food processing plant on the north side of the city that was upgrading its equipment. They were getting rid of a whole batch of refrigerators and freezers, all in pretty good condition, maybe 70 or 80 percent new. A buddy of mine is related to the warehouse director over there. All it took was one word from him, and they agreed to sell them to us for cheap."

They called it "selling," but it was really just to make the books look good. The price you got depended entirely on how strong your connections were. If they said a fridge’s cooling coil was broken, then it was officially scrap.

"I didn’t want to push my luck, so I just requested two freezers and two refrigerators. Later, when we get a new shipment in, we can just send them a case of whatever’s good as a thank you."

"My buddy is bringing them over in a bit. I checked, and we can just put them outside the entrance. We’ll slap an Iron General on them. Besides, someone’s watching the store twenty-four hours a day anyway."

"I’ll also have a word with the guys on the hospital’s security patrol."

Chi Yun’er gave him a thumbs-up. "When you’re on the job, Brother Ming, I have nothing to worry about."

Zhao Jinming had never been one for hard work, even as a child. He was a clear-cut egoist who was fiercely protective of his own—a classic dandy from the Capital City.

But he was well-connected and could get along with just about anyone. And given his family background, it was inevitable that the people in his circle were far from ordinary.

He was quick-witted and was now gaining experience, broadening his horizons and his way of thinking. When that new "wind of change" arrived, he was sure to be one of the first to take the plunge.

After lunch, the refrigerators and freezers arrived as promised. With a meaningful glance from Chi Yun’er, Zhao Jinming opened several bottles of soda and smilingly served the delivery crew.

The exteriors of the fridges and freezers looked practically new, and their cooling power was excellent. The sodas started to get chilly just a short while after being put inside.

Chi Yun’er quickly called the ice cream factory and ordered every flavor of ice cream bar they had, though the quantities for each flavor varied based on their market research.

The store expansion was completed in just over two days, right as the grand opening sale ended. As word of the sale spread, daily profits had been climbing steadily.

The first day’s profit was over 260, the second day’s was over 310, and on the third day, it actually hit more than 350!

Many customers had ridden their bikes from other districts to snap up the deals, so by the fourth day, the store was practically deserted.
