Chapter 141 Accompanying Zhu Lin to Visit the Department Store

Weekend morning

When Zhu Lin slowly opened his eyes, Li Changhe next to him was still sleeping with his eyes closed.

Thinking of what happened last night, Zhu Lin's face turned slightly red.

No one knew what happened to this guy last night. He was like a bull, tormenting her in various ways.

it's good now.

are you tired!
Can’t get up in the morning!
But she didn't have to go to CCTV headquarters today, so she didn't want to leave.

So even though he woke up, Zhu Lin didn't get up. Instead, he snuggled into Li Changhe's arms again and clung to him tightly.

Li Changhe subconsciously hugged his wife in his arms, then turned around and slowly opened his eyes.

He didn't do anything to cause trouble last night on purpose. It was mainly because the plan he had been planning for more than a year had come to fruition, and he felt relieved, which made him particularly happy.

As a person, when you are happy, you should do something happier. After all, you should enjoy life to the fullest.

"You're awake. Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

Zhu Lin thought that it was his own noise that woke him up, and spoke softly to Li Changhe.

"I'm not going to sleep anymore. I'm not that sleepy anymore. Are you not going to CCTV today?"

Li Changhe was no longer sleepy now that he had woken up. Seeing that Zhu Lin had not woken up either, he asked curiously.

"No, I'm not going. It seems that Teacher Zhou Yang and her team have to go on a business trip for a filming assignment. They are not in Beijing, so I don't need to go."

"Why don't we go shopping at the Capital Department Store today?"

"See if there are any new clothes recently. Winter is coming soon, so I'd like to buy you some clothes."

Zhu Lin spoke softly to Li Changhe at this time.

They also had art appreciation classes in their directing class, and after learning more, she felt that Li Changhe's current clothes were too monotonous, and she always wanted to change his clothes.

"Okay, then bring some money and let's go take a look!"

He had no objection to going out shopping with his wife.

To be honest, people’s entertainment activities are very limited these days. Transportation restricts people’s travel distances. They cannot travel far and can only wander around the capital.

It's nice to visit the Forbidden City once in a while, but it's just the same if you look at it every day. What's more, there are old buildings everywhere in the capital these days, and you'll get tired of seeing them.

Sometimes a group of classmates at school would go hiking together on weekends. There are many mountainous areas in the suburbs of Beijing.

However, Li Changhe was not interested. He had visited all the Five Mountains in his previous life, and after seeing so many of them, it became boring.

After making the decision, the two got up, tidied up, and then Zhu Lin took out a stack of money from the house.

"How much do you want? Five hundred is about right?"

Zhu Lin asked Li Changhe at this time.

The clothes she was talking about were definitely not those that were restricted by cloth coupons, but the high-priced clothes in department stores that were not restricted by cloth coupons.

These clothes are made of good materials, do not require tickets, and have novel designs. Apart from being expensive, they have no other disadvantages.

However, what Li Changhe and Zhu Lin are least afraid of is the high cost. After all, Li Changhe's income is really high in this era.

"Take a thousand and put it in my clothes, and let's go to the trust store to have a look."

Li Changhe thought for a while and said, since we are going out for a stroll anyway, we can just wander around there and also go to the trust store to have a look, who knows what interesting things we can find.

"Row!"

Zhu Lin nodded, then took another stack and stuffed it into Li Changhe's clothes.

Then Zhu Lin picked up a large cloth bag, and the two of them went downstairs and took the bus to the city.

On the way to the bus, Li Changhe made a special observation and found that there were almost no young people who looked like Buddhas on the bus along their route.

There was no sign of anything being stolen from the car.

I think Shen Juncheng did a good job. I wonder how this kid is doing recently.

At this time, Li Changhe didn't know that Shen Juncheng, whom he was talking about, was at Men Saner's house, eating roast chicken with Men Saner and his friends.

"Brother Cheng, you know what, this method of Lord Tongtie Buddha is really promising."

Next to the table, Donkey Head was holding a pig's trotter and chewing it happily.

Recently, they have started to subdue the surrounding Bronze and Iron Buddhas according to the method taught by Li Changhe.

Several of these people were local residents who were good at fighting and their families had some connections, so they quickly became famous in the area and recruited many bronze and iron Buddhas.

After hearing about the reputation of Shen Juncheng and his men, some of the Bronze and Iron Buddhas also came to join them on their own initiative, because Shen Juncheng and his men not only subdued the Bronze and Iron Buddhas, but also occupied a number of garbage dumps in Zhongguancun.

For the Bronze and Iron Buddha, having a garbage dump means having a source of goods. Having a stable backer and source of goods, and being able to collect junk safely, isn't it just a little bit of offering?

Shen Juncheng and his team can collect a lot of scrap metal without any effort, and then hand them over to recycling companies in different categories and get paid.

It is unrealistic to take a commission these days, so Shen Juncheng and his colleagues directly recycle and resell the goods. They claim to have set up an abandoned warehouse to store inventory in order to avoid being defined as speculators.

Now the business is developing rapidly, and the daily income fluctuates, but it is always around 30 to 50 yuan.

But this is already a lot for them. After all, people like Lao Jiu only earn 20 to 30 yuan a month by doing odd jobs when things are going well.

There are so many in a day now. After half a month, Shen Juncheng has given each of them fifty yuan.

What's more, I eat and drink at Mensan'er's place every day, and I can have roasted chicken and pig's trotters for breakfast without spending my own money. Life is so comfortable.

"Don't get complacent just because you've made a little money. Now that there are more people, you need to pay attention to the management of the people below you and pay them the right amount of money."

"These copper and iron Buddhas are not thieves. They just pick up trash and sell it for a little money. We have already made money from them, so don't continue to deduct money from them."

"Otherwise, if I push you too far, I'll report you for speculation and profiteering, and don't blame me if you go to jail."

At this time, Shen Juncheng put down the chicken in his hand and gave some instructions to a few people.

"Don't worry, Brother Cheng. Now my little sister is in charge of the recycling measurement. You don't know her well. She won't give people too much, but she won't give them too little either. It's fair."

Men Saner said with a smile at this time.

Shen Juncheng nodded. He had never thought that Men Saner's sister had such a skill in accounting. It was probably forced upon her by life as she was used to living frugally.

"Let's save up some money and let our youngest sister go to school. If she can get into college like Changhe, we can give an explanation to your parents."

"We don't want to go to Peking University, even if we go to a technical secondary school, we will become government officials after graduation."

Shen Juncheng thought about it and then gave some instructions to Men Saner.

After listening to this, Men Saner was deeply moved.

Really, this boss he recognized is more like an elder brother than his biological elder brother.

"Okay, Cheng, I'll talk to her later and ask her to study hard tonight."

"Brother Cheng, I heard that you are going to the GA Bureau?"

At this time, the tall and strong Lao Jiu, who was sitting next to the table, asked softly.

Shen Juncheng shook his head: "This matter has not been decided yet. I plan to discuss it with Changhe and see what happens."

He now has an opportunity to be transferred to the GA Bureau in HD District, but Shen Juncheng has not yet decided whether to go or not.

The main thing is that the current GA Bureau is not really a good department, and decades ago, it had a particularly bad reputation because of the scum during the Republic of China.

So Shen Juncheng couldn't make up his mind now and planned to go to Li Changhe to discuss it in the evening.

"Okay, let's eat first. After dinner, I'll go to sleep for a while. It's still the same old rules. Lao Jiu will take a few people to keep an eye on the people below. Those who are dishonest and commit crimes will be arrested and sent to the GA Bureau." After Shen Juncheng finished his meal, he gave some instructions to a few people, then lay down on Men San'er's bed next to him.

At the same time, Li Changhe and Zhu Lin also came to the Capital Department Store, which is actually the Wangfujing Department Store.

I had just entered the department store and had not walked far when I saw a large group of people gathered in front of me.

"Hey, I'm lucky today. Zhang Binggui is at the counter."

At this time, Zhu Lin stood on tiptoe to take a look, then said to Li Changhe happily.

Li Changhe nodded. He only got to know Zhang Binggui after he came to this era. He was a very capable salesman.

His best skill is to grasp everything and do everything at once.

Zhang Binggui is in the food area. He will grab as much as you want and calculate the bill for you after he's done.

Even when he was busy, he would help a customer grab food with his hands while smelling the needs of the second customer with his mouth. He was a model of multitasking.

Therefore, Zhang Binggui's skills have become a sight in Wangfujing Department Store.

He also became a role model for workers and was named a model worker in Beijing in the 1950s.

In this era, model worker is a very high honor, and they are role models among workers.

And this year, he was awarded the title of Beijing's Special Salesperson.

Now, whenever Zhang Binggui goes to work, there are crowds of people in front of his counter, which can be regarded as a scene in the department store.

"Is there anything you want to buy? How about we go in and buy some too?"

Li Changhe said to Zhu Lin with a smile.

Zhu Lin hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.

"Forget it, there are too many people here. Let's not join in the fun. Let's go upstairs and look at the clothes directly."

Zhu Lin is very similar to Li Changhe in one respect, which is that they are both afraid of trouble and don't really like to join in the fun.

So she was just surprised that Zhang Binggui was at the counter today, but after the novelty wore off, she no longer had any intention of getting closer.

The main reason is that there is no shortage of snacks at home. Shen Yuxiu buys them frequently because Li Changhe likes to eat snacks when he has nothing to do, and now there is also her granddaughter.

Li Xiaojun and Chen Aiguo's income is not high, so they naturally won't spend lavishly on buying snacks for their daughter.

But the child's grandparents are rich, so Shen Yuxiu buys some when she has nothing to do, leaving some for Li Changhe and some for her granddaughter.

After going upstairs and arriving at the clothing area, the two men took only a few steps before they saw a beige windbreaker hanging on the shelf.

Wow, it’s exactly the same as Ken Takakura in the manhunt movie.

Are new products launched so quickly these days?

Sure enough, Zhu Lin saw the beige windbreaker at a glance and led Li Changhe over to it.

"Comrade, help me take down that windbreaker and let me see it!"

Zhu Lin pointed at the windbreaker and said to the salesperson.

The salesperson glanced at Zhu Lin and was initially dismissive, but when he saw that both of them were wearing watches on their wrists, his expression changed.

Nowadays, a couple who both wear watches are not an ordinary family.

"This is the beige one, right? It's fine. This is the best-selling one today. They say it looks just like the one in a movie."

"It is said that this was made overnight by our Second Garment Factory and it is selling like hot cakes."

The salesperson took the windbreaker down from the clothes rail and handed it to Zhu Lin, saying with a smile.

Zhu Lin took it and started pointing it at Li Changhe.

A trench coat is something that only looks good on someone who is tall and has long legs. If you are not tall enough, it will look like a robe on you, which is ugly in a unique way.

And it just so happens that Li Changhe's current physique is a natural fit for clothes.

As soon as he put on the beige windbreaker, wow, Ken Takakura is nothing.

"Oh, this guy looks really good in it."

"Girl, this is your lover, this dress really suits him."

After Li Changhe put on the clothes, even the saleswoman next to him couldn't help but praise him.

Many people came to buy windbreakers today, but not one of them wore it like Li Changhe.

"I also think that he looks much better in it than Du Qiu."

Zhu Lin was standing there at this time, looking at the effect of Li Changhe's upper body, and said happily with his hand on his chin.

"Beige is too conspicuous. You can try black."

Li Changhe saw there was a black one next to it, and then pointed at it and said to Zhu Lin.

Zhu Lin looked up and nodded: "Then bring the black one over and try it on."

"Row!"

This time, the saleswoman took it happily without complaining about the effort.

Just like men like to look at beautiful women, she found Li Changhe pleasing to the eye even if he just puts his coat on.

The black trench coat really highlights a different style from the beige one. After all, black clothes themselves highlight a person's temperament.

"Girl, you know what, once your lover puts on this black dress, he looks completely different from the one he wore just now."

"Indeed, I think the black one is more suitable."

The saleswoman couldn't help but continue praising at this moment.

Zhu Lin nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, I'll take both. Please help me to issue the invoice and pack them."

"All of them?"

"Girl, this one is 120 yuan, do you want both?"

"Well, I want them all. Open the tickets!"

Zhu Lin nodded and said generously.

This time, the saleswoman was really envious.

Two pieces of clothing, 240 yuan, which was almost half a year's salary for her.

"Come on, let's take a look at the pants and leather shoes. Let's buy them all at once today."

Since he had bought a windbreaker, Zhu Lin of course had to match pants and shoes for Li Changhe as well.

Otherwise, if Li Changhe wore a windbreaker with those green military pants, it would be ugly as hell.

Straight-leg pants are a must-buy, as well as leather shoes.

Especially leather shoes, this time I must buy him a pair of three-joint leather shoes.

Having made up his mind, Zhu Lin was now glad that he had come out with the thousand yuan.

If he really only brought 500 yuan, it would probably not be enough to dress Li Changhe up like this.
