Chapter 22

 As soon as Du Hangwu appeared, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became solemn, and no one made any noise.

  The Lu family, who were about to jump up and cheer just now, were silent now. The

  Liu family was quiet on the surface, but they were still resentful of Du Hangwu for pushing someone yesterday.

  At this time, Du Hangwu's eyes looked like he had seen a ghost. A person who was dying and half buried in the ground last night was standing alive in front of him today. Isn't it a ghost?

  But I was clearly staring at the Lu family last night, not because I saw any unusual movements from the Lu family... Could it be that the Lu family practiced some evil magic! ?

  ...

  In modern times, Gu Xingzhao, who had already set out to print supermarket event flyers, was almost out of breath after checking the balance of his bank card.

  At first, because I had some savings and my usual consumption was not high, I naturally felt that the 40% tax was okay. After all, it was only a few dollars, which was completely affordable.

  But now, with more and more items, the prices are getting more and more expensive, and the bank card balance is getting less and less. Yesterday, nearly 300 yuan in taxes were deducted. In addition, the drugstore didn't have the drug last night, so the drug was bought in the system mall, and the price was sky-high...

  Last time the Lu family was in danger, she turned on the lightning skill and took out a loan of 60,000 yuan, 6,666 yuan. When she saw this amount, she wanted to overturn the system. It was too bad, really too bad!

  Now there is less than 5,000 yuan left in the bank card, and she really began to worry.

  This is the first time that the supermarket has held a pre-New Year event. Gu Xingzhao was a little nervous, afraid that he would lose money. He made several plans and calculated no less than a hundred times. Only when he was sure that there was no problem did he come out to print the flyers.

  That afternoon, she hired a few college students who were on vacation to work part-time in the supermarket to help her distribute flyers. She started to organize the supermarket, moved the TV back upstairs, and bought a lottery box and various prizes.

  During the event, every customer who spends 59.9 or more will receive a dozen eggs.

  In addition to the merchandise for the event, she also set up three lottery boxes for different shopping amounts, with ping-pong balls of different colors corresponding to different prizes.

  If you spend 999, 599, or 399, you can draw the corresponding box. In addition to non-stick pans, rice cookers, and fans that uncles and aunts will like, there are also curling irons, mobile phones, and Bluetooth headsets that young people like. She even took children into consideration and got some toys.

  Aunt Wang saw that she was busy with so many things, and she felt sorry for her, "Will you lose money if you have so many prizes?" What if

  the first prize is taken away by someone else? Who will want to draw later?

  What if someone thinks it's a scam and can't draw a prize at all?

  Gu Xingzhao smiled mysteriously, "Don't worry, auntie, I have a plan."

  The owner of the fruit stand next door was about to close the door. He heard the two people talking and laughed. Only a fool would believe in these activities. They are all scams. Those prizes look good, but they have to be real.

  Don't think that people in the town are easy to fool. No one can guess that there will be no special prizes in the box. Young people are naive. No one will buy it. Just wait for losses and bankruptcy.

  ...

  The next day, Gu Xingzhao got up early and opened the door for business. Since it was the first time to hold an event and offered great discounts, many old customers came, but few came for the lottery.

  The owner of the fruit stand next door also chatted with the customers who bought fruit, saying that the lottery activities in the supermarket next door were just a scam, and even fewer people could buy enough to participate in the lottery.

  Aunt Wang, who was next door, was anxious, afraid that Gu Xingzhao would lose money. After all, it was not easy to run such a big supermarket.

  At noon, Aunt Wang came to Gu Xingzhao again and advised her to either stop the event or reduce its duration. If things continued like this, those people would buy things at a discount and take the eggs away. The supermarket would probably lose money.

  Gu Xingzhao smiled, "It's okay, Aunt, I'm selling them at wholesale cost, I won't lose money, and I have plans. There will definitely be more people coming tomorrow at the latest. You just wait and see."     Aunt Wang was skeptical and left a bowl of dumplings for her before she left. At

  about 3:00 p.m. that day, a mother with a child bought more than 1,000 yuan worth of New Year's goods and asked the child to participate in the lottery.

  The moment the red ping-pong ball was drawn, the crowd was excited!

  "Oh my god, baby! You are so amazing!"

  "Red! This is the first prize!"

  "I only bought things worth 1,000 yuan, and I won an ugly refrigerator! This is such a good deal!"

  The mother happily picked up the child and kissed him fiercely. The people around her all stole envious eyes. Those who were eager to move had already rushed to the supermarket, fearing that the grand prize would be taken away by others!

  In this small town where information technology is relatively closed in all directions, winning a refrigerator in the lottery is of great attraction to the residents of the town, not to mention that there are so many prizes. Who doesn't want to win the prize?

  Until 8 o'clock that night, there was an endless stream of customers. Gu Xingzhao was so busy with money that he thought about hiring two temporary workers tomorrow, otherwise he would be too busy.

  Just as she was thinking about this, Aunt Wang came over happily with her son. "Xiao Gu, I see that your business is so prosperous that you must be too busy. I'm thinking of letting Xiao Ting come to help you starting tomorrow. What do you think?" Gu Xingzhao

  was stunned for a moment, and looked at Lin Ting, whom he hadn't seen for half a year, "Not good, Xiao Ting is a senior this year, and he will take the college entrance examination soon. He has to review at home, right?"

  Aunt Wang smiled and said, "It's okay. The child won a prize in a competition at the beginning of the year. He said that he can be recommended for admission. He is just waiting for the recommendation quota to be announced."

  After hearing this, Gu Xingzhao still felt that it was not appropriate. It was not a done deal. What if there was an accident... Wouldn't it be delayed?

  Lin Ting, wearing thick plastic blue-framed glasses, spoke, "Even if I can't be recommended, I can still pass the exam."

  Boys of this age are just changing their voices. Their voices are a little low, and they don't sound as bright and childish as before, but they are quite reliable.

  Gu Xingzhao gave Lin Ting a thumbs up, "Student, come and work for me tomorrow, and I'll pay you." Aunt

  Wang quickly refused, "What salary? I'm just afraid that this kid will become stupid from reading books at home, so I asked him to come and help you. We can't have different opinions among family members."

  Lin Ting also nodded, "I don't need a salary."

  Gu Xingzhao smiled and patted Lin Ting on the shoulder, "Okay, then I'll give you a big red envelope for the New Year!"

  Lin Ting was a little shy, "Yeah."

  ...

  That night, Gu Xingzhao settled today's income, deducting the cost price, water and electricity bills, the expenses of several part-time employees, and the actor invited today, and earned about three thousand.

  She squinted her eyes, a good start, she had to keep up the good work in the next few days and strive to earn 50,000 before the New Year.

  Just then, the doorbell rang, and Lin Ting stood outside with a bowl in her hand, "Sister, I cooked dumplings, are you hungry?"
