Chapter 171 Good days come to an end (second watch)
The old lady, of course, couldn’t possibly go looking for some manager and left with a huff.
Not far away, Xiaofeng watched the old lady leave and approached the counter, saying to the shop assistant, "Hello, could you get me two packs of Bear Head cookies?"
In this era, there weren’t many snack varieties, and everyone recognized brand names. Acquiring branded goods was a matter of considerable prestige.
The shop assistant lazily glanced at Xiaofeng and took out two packs of cookies from behind the counter: "Six yuan."
Xiaofeng slowly paid, with a hint of ingratiating look towards her: "Sister, I’m from the countryside. I just heard you’re hiring shop assistants. Could you maybe recommend me?"
As she spoke, she took out an extra ten-yuan note and passed it over: "Sister, I’ve heard you have a good relationship with the manager here. Don’t you worry, if I can stay, I will surely thank you again."
The shop assistant, in her early twenties, found being called "sister" rather endearing.
Listening to her words, the shop assistant felt very comfortable. This was the kind of attitude one should have when asking for a favor. She unceremoniously took the money from Xiaofeng, putting one note into her pocket, and the other six yuan into the drawer, then straightened her bangs and said with an upbeat tone, "You want to be a shop assistant here? You found the right person. Everyone in the mall knows that the manager is my cousin, and he really shines his light on me."
