Chapter 1496 A Trick

Mengmeng was ready to work for a day and see what would happen.

Zheng Dan sent a series of information to her, and she memorized it after reading it.

She had nothing to do in the afternoon.

Zheng Dan and Lv Zihan went to the restaurant at about four oclock. Every weekend, the restaurant was always very busy, and Chen Yang had been keeping an eye on the staff.

At about five oclock, Chen Yang called.

Whats up? Mengmeng asked.

Boss, its business. Someone wants to be our franchisee. Chen Yangs tone was full of surprise.

This would be their first franchisee.

Mengmeng was not interested in this, so she said, I see. Just handle it on your own.

Well, he wants to bargain, and Im not sure about some details.

Ask for Muens help. She is proficient in business affairs, Mengmeng said.

This is our first franchisee. Are you sure you dont want to come over? Chen Yang said with a smile.

No.

Fine. Ill call Muen and ask her.

A few minutes after the call ended, Li Muen ran over.

We have a franchisee now. Not bad. Its only been a few months since the restaurants opening. This happened a little faster than I imagined, Li Muen said.

Its the first step to success. Mengmeng lay on the bed, put down her mobile phone, leaned over, and said, Maybe Flying Hero Bagna Cauda can be a famous brand.

Thats for sure. The food tastes good, so we will have regular customers, and we will have more and more franchisees joining us. Look, well charge them 30 thousand bucks a year as the members.h.i.+p fee. If there are 100 franchisees, it will be 3 million. Each of us will get 1 million. 1 million a year It doesnt seem to be a lot. Oh, right, there is also the turnover of the restaurants. We can also make a lot of money by opening up branches, Li Muen said slowly. Lets go and check our first franchisee, shall we?

Whats there to check? Just let Chen Yang sign the contract with them, Yue Xiaonao said.

Okay. Ill instruct Boss Chen about the specific details and let him deal with it himself. Li Muen nodded and dialed Chen Yangs number again.

They chatted for a while.

In the restaurant, Chen Yang hung up the phone and was entertaining a middle-aged man.

Sir, Im ready. This is the contract. If theres no problem, we can sign it now, Chen Yang said.

The middle-aged man was confused. Your boss isnt coming?

Chen Yang looked a little shy. Well, Im also one of the owners here.

Haha, I see. Boss Chen, youre really young and promising.

The way he addressed Chen Yang had changed from Manager Chen to Boss Chen.

The man also came prepared. He had been observing the restaurant for half a month and thought that the food tasted good, so the deal was settled as he became the brands first franchisee.

That night, Chen Yang wanted to celebrate, but Mengmeng and the others didnt seem to want to go out. They wanted to sleep in, so Chen Yang called Ye Xiaomu over. The two of them were in love quickly and began to enjoy their relations.h.i.+p in college.

The next day.

At seven oclock.

Zheng Dans alarm clock rang, and she sat up and said, Mengmeng, Mengmeng, get up. We need to go to work now.

Mengmeng was lying on the bed and browsing through trending topics. When she heard this, she responded lazily, Ive been awake.

You woke up so early.

Zheng Dan yawned. Then lets wash up and set off. I need to put on makeup. Ill try my best to get it done as soon as possible.

Okay, Mengmeng replied.

Are you really going? Yue Xiaonao said, How can you, a spoiled young lady, go to work? Dont come back in just an hour.

Are you looking down on me? Mengmeng snorted and said, You are the spoiled young lady.

Were about the same, haha, Yue Xiaonao said with a smile. Which store will you work in? Ill buy some stuff there later.

You dont need to do that, Mengmeng said. Ill just go to experience the feelings of working. Dont you want to experience it?

No. I plan to lie in bed for a day today, Yue Xiaonao replied.

Okay.

Mengmeng got out of bed, washed up, and put on casual clothes.

After Zheng Dan put on her makeup in a hurry, they went out.

Were going to take the subway. Well take Line 1 at Academy Road Station. It will be three stops before we arrive at the mall.

Okay.

Zheng Dan decided the route they would take, and Mengmeng followed.

It took them 50 minutes to get to the mall by subway at about 8:30.

We still have some time left. Shall we have breakfast?

Well, okay.

They had a simple breakfast.

When they reported for work.

h.e.l.lo, Im Zheng Dan, and shes Zhang Yumeng. Were here to work part-time.

Okay. The manager is over there. A shop a.s.sistant pointed to the inside.

The manager was a woman in her thirties, and she took good care of her skin.

She said with a smile, Are you Zheng Dan and Zhang Yumeng? Go to the back room and change into your workwear. When everything is ready, come here for a meeting.

Okay.

The workwear was a red s.h.i.+rt and a black skirt that reached ones knees.

The staff needed to comb their hair into a ponytail.

A few minutes later, the two girls were dressed up.

Take a few pictures of me.

Mengmeng handed her mobile phone to Zheng Dan.

Okay.

Mengmeng began to pose under the camera.

She puffed up her cheeks, winked at the camera, and wore a sweet smile.

She sent three photos to Zhang Han.

Mengmeng said with a grin, How do I look? Im now working, dad.

Beep!

Two seconds later, Mengmengs phone rang.

Hee hee, do I look nice?

This is really an interesting hobby. Zhang Han was amused. Why do you feel like working?

I will work part-time with my roommate for a day at Versace.

Wow, Zhang Han said with a smile. You can experience it, but dont exhaust yourself.

Okay.

Come home when you are not busy. I will cook delicious food for you.

Got it. Ill order the dishes after work tonight.

The words after work made Zhang Han feel a little awkward.

Sure. Ill wait for you to come back.

After the phone call, Mengmeng followed Zheng Dan to the front desk with a happy look on her face.

Lets have a meeting first.

Also, new girls, were very happy to have you join us.

The shopkeeper gave a few simple instructions, mainly about the missions and att.i.tude.

After that, she chatted with Zheng Dan and Mengmeng alone.

Do you both know how to speak Lestinese?

We do.

Great. We would have some foreign customers occasionally. If you cant speak their language, you can ask Xiao Mei to receive them. She has mastered four languages, the shopkeeper said.

Got it, Ms. Gan.

Well, thats it. Zhang Yumeng, youll stand by the door and receive customers.

The shopkeeper felt that Mengmeng was really beautiful, so she arranged for Mengmeng to stand by the door.

After staying in the store for a while, the shopkeeper went out to deal with something.

At this time, Xiao Mei, the relatively capable girl, came over and said, Zhang Yumeng, Zheng Dan, go to transport the goods with Lili.

Mengmeng said hesitantly, Aint I supposed to receive customers here?

Youll do it after moving the goods.

Unexpectedly, it took them three hours to move the goods, sort them, and tidy them.

Some of the goods were very heavy.

Zheng Dan was a little exhausted, but Mengmeng didnt feel tired at all. Lili was a senior who only did some light work. The heavy work was basically done by Zheng Dan and Mengmeng.

It was almost one oclock.

Lets have lunch first. You can receive the customers here.

Lili was at the counter with Zheng Dan and Mengmeng.

The two girls stood on both sides of the door, waiting for the arrival of the customers.

Lili wandered around, occasionally sitting at the counter for a while.

Pretty girl, I think this purse matches your temperament very well. I really want to buy it for you. What do you think?

A man who came to strike up a conversation greeted Mengmeng politely.

Mengmeng shook her head slightly and said, No, thanks.

What a pity. Maybe the style here is not suitable for you. If you have time, lets go to Hermes over there. Ive paid attention to some of the new products. Theyre all nice. There must be one that suits you, the man said with a smile.

I dont like purses. Mengmeng refused.

When the man heard this, his eyes lit up. He wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. He played hard to get.

This is my business card. I hope I can get to know you.

The man left a business card and made a phone call gesture.

Mengmeng waved her hand with a smile. After he turned around, she casually threw the business card into the trash can.

Youre so young.

Lili came over, picked up the business card, and looked at it. Cheng Hui, the general manager of the Lucky Art Company. He is a big shot. Zhang Yumeng, you are so beautiful, and you are suitable to be a saleswoman. With just one look, you can make a nice performance by acting like youre willing to go on a date. You should learn more things. Those men can stare at you but cant get you, and they are most likely to spend money on you.

Uh, what you said makes sense. Mengmeng looked awkward and smiled.

Its okay. Youll slowly learn.

Lili smiled and said, Its already one oclock. You should go and have a rest.

Okay.

The two girls left the storefront. Looking at the lunchbox, Mengmeng had no appet.i.te.

However, Zheng Dan had done a lot of work. She was hungry and eating happily.

Mengmeng, why dont you eat? Zheng Dan asked in confusion.

I have no appet.i.te.

Are you too tired?

No. I will eat delicious food at night. I plan to starve at noon so I can eat more at night, Mengmeng said.

Are you sure? We still have work to do in the afternoon.

Im sure.

After chatting for a while, Zheng Dan patted her leg and said, Im so exhausted.

Mengmeng didnt feel tired, but she didnt find the work interesting either. It was even a little boring.

There were not many customers in the morning, but in the afternoon, the number of customers gradually increased.

The salesgirls were all in the front to receive the customers.

Mengmeng received five, but none of them bought anything.

It was like the store hadnt opened yet.

Xiao Mei, who was relatively capable, suddenly whispered to Lili, This will do.

Yes. Get ready. You go first. Lili also responded in a hurry.

Mengmeng and Zheng Dan looked at each other and did not understand what they meant.

Following their gazes, they saw a man and a woman outside the store. The man was in his thirties and had a plump figure. The woman seemed to be in her early twenties. She clung to the man and spoke in a sweet voice.

This sweater is not bad. The woman said in a sweet voice, Darling, what do you think?

Its pretty good, but I think that one from Gucci suits you, the man said with a smile.

How could the young woman be his match? They had been shopping for a whole day. If he didnt want to buy the things she wanted, he could just give a perfunctory answer.

Miss, let me introduce it to you. But please dont touch it with your hands. This sweater is very easy to get stained, Xiaomei said hurriedly and directly introduced the price. This is the latest edition of this year, and it costs 2 thousand bucks.

Hearing this, the woman withdrew her hand, snorted discontentedly, and turned to look at the purses on the other side.

Honey, this purse looks pretty good.

Its not allowed to touch the purses either, Xiao Mei said.

How would I know if it suits me without trying it on? The woman spoke with displeasure.

You can try it on. There seemed to be a hint of contempt in Xiao Meis eyes. Without giving the woman permission, she put the purse there and said, This purse is also a new product. Theres no discount. The price is 4,000 dollars.

The man frowned but didnt say anything.

The woman took a deep breath and said, Ill try it on, thank you.

At this time, Lili came over with two gla.s.ses of water.

Sir, Madam, heres some pure water.

She had a sweet smile on her face and her att.i.tude was very nice.

Thank you.

The man was really thirsty. After drinking half a gla.s.s of water, he put it on the counter next to him.

I need to try the purse, the woman added.

Alright, Xiao Mei said lightly and helped the woman put on the purse.

It matched her clothes and looked very good. The womans eyes lit up slightly. Its so beautiful.

Its just so-so. Lets go to the opposite store and see if theres anything suitable there, the man suddenly said.

Uh, okay.

The woman reluctantly took off the purse.

At this time, Xiao Mei muttered in a low voice, If you dont want to buy it, why did you try it?

The couple just happened to hear it.

What did you say?

The man asked unhappily, Wheres your manager?

h.e.l.lo, sir, whats going on? Lili hurried over and asked with a sweet smile.

Whats wrong with her? Shes looking down on us as just a shopping guide. Why is she putting on airs? the man said angrily.

Sir, please calm down. Lily hurriedly persuaded him and then questioned, Xiao Mei, whats wrong with you? Apologize to them now.

Im sorry. I didnt say anything harsh. Im on my period, so Im in a bad mood, Xiao Mei said.

Youre upsetting others just because you are in a bad mood. The man glared at her. He then looked at Lili and said, Tell me about this purse.

Okay.

Lilis eyes lit up and she looked very happy. This purse is made by

It was a very detailed introduction, and it stressed the value of the item. She went on and on.

Well buy it.

The man nodded and decided to buy the purse for the young woman.

He did say that they were buying it from Lili and it had nothing to do with Xiao Mei.

Right then, there was a look of regret on Xiao Meis face.

Seeing this, the man and the woman were secretly delighted.

It was a very nice shopping experience. When the couple left, Lili pointed at Xiao Mei and said, Your bonus for this month has been deducted.

Please, dont do it. I have my excuses, Xiao Mei said loudly, staring at the backs of the two people with a smile on her face. Manager, manager? Its done, hahaha.

Another done deal. Lili said with a smile, Its obvious that he brought his young lover here just to stroll around. Humph, he doesnt want to spend money but wants to keep a lover? Dream on.

Its not bad that he bought her a purse. Xiao Mei said, Hes a mature guy. If it were a young boy, we could sell two or three purses.

Very few young guys would come to shop here

The two of them began to chat.

Mengmeng was dumbfounded as she watched from the side.

d.a.m.n it, this trick is awesome.

Its amazing. Zheng Dan said in surprise, Its too surprising. Its a waste that they arent actresses. You know what? I believed what they said at first.

I believed it as well. Their means are superb. Mengmeng muttered, Its only the first day of work, and Ive already encountered such a trick. Alas, this is a complicated society. This job is still not suitable for a newcomer like me.

It was time for peak shopping hours in the afternoon.

The manager came back at three oclock.

As soon as she came back, a foreign couple arrived.

h.e.l.lo?

Xiao Mei walked over. This time, she had a professional smile on her face as she greeted them in Lestinese. Is there anything I can do for you?

The man muttered a few words.

Xiao Meis face stiffened slightly. Its Fralope.

Can you speak Lestinese? Xiao Mei asked.

The man said in Lestinese, Were not fluent in it.

What should I do? Xiao Mei turned her head and said, Manager, bring me the translator.

Xiao Mei was turning on the equipment.

The foreign couple looked around casually. The two of them seemed to be communicating with each other and said a few words. When Xiao Mei was done setting up the equipment, they were going to leave.

What a pity. Judging from their clothes, they should be wealthy. The manager shook her head secretly.

They would miss out on some chances to make a deal. This happened.

But to the managers surprise, Mengmeng waved her hand and said in fluent Fralope, Sir, Madam, it doesnt matter if you dont have enough cash. You can use your Fralope bank card, but youll need to pay some tax fees.

Oh, my G.o.d. Finally. Youre the first one weve ever met who can speak Fralope here.

The woman exhaled and said with a smile, Your Fralope is great.

Thank you. Ive lived in Fralop for a period and learned the language, Mengmeng replied.

Clatter!

The manager was stunned. Her eyes lit up and she had a new opinion about Mengmeng.

Xiao Mei was also in a daze. She looked at the translator and found that it was inferior to Mengmengs real-time translation.

Even Zheng Dan was a little shocked and felt that Mengmeng was very awesome.

She found it amazing that Mengmeng was proficient in a foreign language.

Which cities have you visited?

Brenzor, Torash, Pessay, and many other cities. I think the specialties there taste quite good, Mengmeng said.

Youve been to so many places, the woman said with a smile.

After chatting for two minutes, the woman picked up the purse she had just taken a fancy to, paid for it, and left happily.

Amazing.

The manager gave Mengmeng a thumbs-up.

Zheng Dan asked in a low voice, You even know how to speak Fralope. What other languages can you speak?

The general ones, Mengmeng replied.

Zheng Dan asked, What do you mean?

Mengmeng said, I can speak most languages.

Zheng Dan remained silent for a long time.

The days work experience ended quickly.

Zheng Dan was tired, while Mengmeng was relaxed.

But she still decided not to come next time. She mainly wanted to experience the feeling of working. She had taken photos and didnt need to come again.

Xiao Mei came over and said, Weve made two transactions today. Ill treat you to dinner tonight.

It seemed that she also wanted to make friends with Mengmeng.

She rarely did this as a senior.

Thank you, but we have some activities at school tonight, so we wont go for dinner. Mengmeng declined politely.

Okay.

Xiao Mei responded.

Oh, by the way, Ms. Gan, the one I sold is on her sister. I wont come for work again, Mengmeng said.

You wont? Come on. Ill raise your salary.

The manager really appreciated Mengmengs skills and tried to keep her.

Mengmeng insisted and shook her head.

In the end, the manager sighed softly and did not pressure her.

After getting their salaries, Mengmeng and Zheng Dan changed their clothes and left.

40 bucks.

Zheng Dan rubbed her hands and said, This is the result of a days work. Im so tired. I dont know how long I can hold on.

Why are you working so hard? Mengmeng asked, You just need to earn the money you need.

Alas, I just want to make some money to buy some big brands. Childe Chen is young and rich, but he wouldnt be together with me. I can only work hard by myself, said Zheng Dan.

All right. Lets go back.

Mengmeng felt that the more Zheng Dan talked, the dirtier the topic would be, so she stopped her in time.

They got back to school. A moment later, Mengmeng and Yue Xiaonao returned to Mount New Moon through the s.p.a.ce Portal.

Youre back.

Six or seven people, including Zhang Han, Zi Yan, and Zhou Fei, were sitting in the pavilion and chatting.

After seeing the two girls, everyone greeted them.

The diligent little princess is back.

How much did you earn today?

I made 40 bucks today, without the commission included, said Mengmeng with a snort.

Was it fun? Zi Yan smiled.

It was nice. I just stood there when I had nothing to do. It was quite boring. I wont do it again, Mengmeng muttered.

Youve worked hard for a whole day. Its time to make up for it. Order the dishes you like, Zhang Han said with a smile.

What should we eat?

Mengmeng and Yue Xiaonao began to order.

The two of them named more than a dozen kinds of their favorite dishes, and Zi Yan also named two.

Just like that, the guys had dinner together.

Zhou Fei, Chen Changqing, and the others were in a good mood after having the dishes cooked by Zhang Han.

Chen Changqing, in particular, said repeatedly, It doesnt look nice, but it tastes really good.

If you dont like it, dont eat it. Zhou Fei said disdainfully, You eat the most.

Chen Changqing smiled awkwardly.

After dinner, Mengmeng and Yue Xiaonao strolled around Mount New Moon for a while and then played online games.

The next day, they went back to school.

Time always pa.s.sed quickly in school.

They just went to some fixed places every day.

It was fun to have funny cla.s.smates.

Two months later, the sports meeting was over.

Mengmeng and Yue Xiaonao didnt wait until it was time for the final exam.

Mengmeng, Im now at the Yuan Ying Realm Last Stage. When are we going to the Vast Heaven Star? Im also ready to exceed myself in the sect.

Yue Xiaonao could no longer hold back.

Ill ask my dad about it, Mengmeng said.

Ask him now.

Mengmeng picked up the phone and dialed the number.

Dad, when are we going to the Vast Heaven Star? Xiaonao cant wait any longer. Shes been clamoring to go there to gain experience these days.

Chen, Xue, and the others are almost ready. They have been cultivating for some time and are breaking through to the G.o.d Transformation Realm Middle Stage one after another. They also want to go to the Vast Heaven Star, Zhang Han said with a smile.

Shall we set off tomorrow? Mengmeng asked.

I think youre also anxious, Zhang Han said with a laugh.

Hahaha, yeah.

Mengmeng laughed at once.

Dad knows me well.

Recently, she had been a little bored at school.

Living a peaceful life was enjoyable, but she also needed excitement. Going out to fight and train was the source of excitement.

Shall I tell the school authority about your leave? Zhang Han said.

Ill do it. Ill tell the princ.i.p.al about it. We are acquaintances, Mengmeng said casually.

In the past, it was Zi Yan or Zhang Han who arranged everything for Mengmeng at school. But now, the little princess could do it herself. After all, she had grown up.

That afternoon, Mengmeng asked for a long leave. She might come back next semester.

After returning to Mount New Moon, she was ready to set off overnight.

Before leaving, Mengmeng went back to change her clothes and carry her schoolbag.

Dahei flew into it.

Mengmeng patted Little Hei on the head and said seriously, Little Hei, have you heard of the Holy Wind Dog King?

Little Hei asked, What is that? What Dog King?

Well, you probably dont know it. There is a Holy Wind Dog King. Well go there and challenge it this time. Little Hei, if you perform well, we can win a lot of crystal stones and spiritual treasures, Mengmeng said with a smile.

Little Hei nodded slightly and said, Got it, Little Master.

Ahem, ahem.

Seeing this, Jiang Yanlan, who was not far away, coughed softly.

She thought to herself.

Alas, Heavenly Hound, you are the former No. 1 Expert on the south coast, but Mengmeng is now targeting you. I wonder how much you will lose.

Holy Wind Dog King, Little Hei

Jiang Yanlan suddenly felt that Heavenly Hounds eyes would turn red again this time.

He dared to have a bet with the little princess of Mount New Moon. This guy was too bold.
