On the first day she opened the store, Qin Hongfei only received this one business, and no more business after that, but she was not in a hurry.
At nearly six o’clock, Xia Lu came to the store to deliver food and asked, “Feifei, thank you for your hard work. Did you receive any business today?”
Qin Hongfei replied: “Yes.”
Xia Lu said quickly: “Where is it? I’ll take a look now I have time.”
Qin Hongfei said: “I have repaired it and the guests have left. By the way, here is the money.” She took out the five hundred yuan and gave it to her mother.
Xia Lu looked at the five big bills and was dumbfounded: “Are there many guests today?”
Qin Hongfei said, “No, there’s just one customer! … She’s a regular customer. She must have cheated you a lot of money before. I looked at the store’s accounts, and it seems that she cheated you more than 300 yuan.” “She didn’t get the five hundred yuan for no reason, she just wanted to get back the bad debts that Aunt had incurred.
Xia Lu suddenly blushed when she thought of the money she had paid out before: “It’s all because I’m useless if I were like your father.”
Qin Hongfei did not comfort her this time but said: “Mom, you have to look forward. I can clean up the bad debts from the past for you, but you also have to think about me and my sister. My sister is having a hard time on the film set, but she’s still very reluctant to buy some nice clothes and food. She only thinks about paying off our family’s debts. Our life is very difficult. I’ll take over the business of our shop for the time being. You can leave it to me and just take a rest, okay?”
Xia Lu usually has a bad temper. And except for the matters related to the shop and her husband, she was very obedient to her two daughters.
The next day.
There were still no customers in the shop. Qin Hongfei was not in a hurry. She repaired the things left by other customers in the shop one after another. It was leisurely until the third day when another customer finally came and brought a TV. He didn’t go around the bush, he opened his mouth and asked: “Little Boss, I heard that if you can’t repair the appliances here, you’ll pay 10x.”
Qin Hongfei looked at the person who came. He was a young man. He said in a calm voice that he was right: “But my repair fee is also high. Your TV…it costs 1,000 to repair. Do you want to repair it?”
The young man’s eyes widened, and he wanted to curse! “It’s so dark, didn’t it only cost 500 yuan?”
Qin Hongfei said, “It depends on the appliances. If it can’t be repaired, you can take 10,000 yuan. Doesn’t 10,000 yuan sound interesting? Of course, if you think it’s too expensive, 500 yuan is 500 yuan.” She sounded very casual.
When the young man met her eyes, he always felt as if she had been seen through him. However, he didn’t feel guilty. She had put up the sign herself, and the ten thousand was so exciting! Damn, how many days he has to work to earn that money?
“Okay, 1,000 is 1,000 yuan, but if it can’t be repaired, you’ll have to pay me 10,000 yuan. You can’t go back with your words.”
Qin Hongfei said nonchalantly: “Guest, you can sign the agreement. It’s a black and white paper. No one can run away. Then you have to put a thousand here first. I’m afraid you’ll leave once the repair is completed and never come back.” Leaving this broken tv was not worth it. She doesn’t have enough space in the shop.
The young man said: “I will take out 1,000 yuan, but can you take out 10,000 yuan here?”
Qin Hongfei said, “Guest, you are right, I really can’t take out 10,000 yuan here. But I don’t need to take it out, because I will fix it.” After a pause, before the other party cursed, she said calmly: “Don’t worry, my shop is here. Even if I can’t take it out, you won’t lose money, and I can’t run away. You can come to my door every day to collect debts, but I won’t let you have this opportunity to annoy me. Don’t worry.”
