Chapter 336 - 338: The Art of Insulting_1
Three days later, on Saturday afternoon, Li Qiao came to the department store alone. There were quite a few people with tickets crowded around the counter selling radios, trying to buy them.
She couldn’t figure out why, as everyone seemed to be diligently working, and except for the workers in higher positions who had higher wages, the salaries of others were not much different.
Where had these people saved their money from?
Were they also secretly doing business?
After everyone had finished buying and left, she finally stepped forward and bought a radio with a tape recorder, and sent it back home along with the materials she had prepared earlier.
Having taken care of this matter, Li Qiao felt a sense of relief, and her steps became lighter as well.
Passing by the crossroads, she saw a sign.
It read "Beijing’s first privately-owned restaurant."
She was somewhat incredulous, but more than that, she was shocked. The news had only been reported in the newspapers a few days ago, and now someone had already started doing it.
She thought about how the next day was the day she had arranged to treat Nan Chuyi to a meal.
Lately Qin Jin had been busy inquiring about loans to buy land, preoccupied with accounting certification, and arranging for people to stock up and sell goods, so busy that he barely had time to touch the ground. To ask him to cook, would that not be exhausting? She couldn’t bear to see him tired.
