Chapter 266: There are actually stockings in the supermarket!

He handed the coupon to Ji Pianran, and then he hugged Tang Tang, and the three of them got on the elevator.

They went to 308 on the third floor.

As soon as they entered the door, Tang Tang was instantly stunned.

In the middle of the room was a big, white bed, and even the pillows were white and looked soft, like cotton candy!

The little one was so excited that he took off his shoes and climbed up to use it as a trampoline and kept jumping.

Gu Chen looked at Ji Pianran and said, 'Then you two stay here and if you get bored, just take a walk downstairs, but don't go anywhere.'

Ji Pianran nodded, 'Okay, you too, be careful on the road.'

Gu Chen nodded and left the hotel.

He took a taxi to the police station to report the case.

When he arrived at the police station, a middle-aged policeman answered the call.

After Gu Chen had explained the situation, the policeman said that he was also at a loss. There were dozens of such cases in Huacheng every day, and there were simply too many to handle.

He could only ask Gu Chen to leave his phone number and go home first, and he would definitely notify the family when he had a lead.

Gu Chen understood. After all, this was an era when Huacheng was developing rapidly, and it was also the most chaotic time.

Over here, Tang Tang was jumping around on the bed.

The more she jumped, the more excited she became. As soon as Gu Chen left the room, she asked her mother to take her downstairs to play.

To be honest, Ji Pianran was also very curious about this place.

The main thing was that they hadn't brought anything with them, so they always had to buy daily necessities like toothbrushes and face towels.

After all, a hotel was not their home, and they didn't feel at ease using the things here.

After the mother and daughter had washed up and tidied up a bit, they left the hotel and wandered around the streets.

This area is very prosperous, and it is basically full of shops selling things.

Clothes, trousers, and some snacks.

Ji Bian ran to the corner and saw that there was a large supermarket here, so she took Tang Tang and went in.

The mother and daughter looked around as they walked.

This supermarket was really big, with two floors!

There was no supermarket this big in Huang County.

Ji Bian bought two towels, soap and a toothbrush, and was ready to go back with Tang Tang.

As she passed a shelf, she had already reached the end, when the little one suddenly saw a mannequin in the corner and pointed at the black stockings on her legs, looking curious.

'Mommy, what are those?'

Upon hearing this, Ji Bianran looked over there and, to her surprise, discovered that they actually sold stockings here!

She suddenly thought of Gu Chen looking at the girl wearing stockings.

No way!

I have to buy some too!

She had to. She was such a competitive person that even when it came to wearing stockings, she had to prove that she could look good in them too.

Especially to Gu Chen!

She thought for a moment and said to a waitress in red overalls in front of her, 'Hello, could you please get me a pair of stockings?'

The woman selling the stockings was a middle-aged woman. When she saw Ji Pianran asking for stockings, she hurried over with a smile of apology.

'I'm sorry, madam, we've already sold out of stockings. It's been hot lately, and everyone's started selling stockings. No, we just sold the last pair a while ago, and we're out of them.'

On hearing this, Ji Pianran became a little sulky.

'Oh, never mind then.'

After saying this, she took Tang Tang's hand and prepared to leave.

Seeing that Ji Pianran was leaving, the middle-aged woman hurriedly said, 'Madam, wait a minute. We sell fishnet stockings here as well, and this batch came in this afternoon. They sell even better than the stockings, and young girls like them.'

In fact, if she were a local, she would know right away that she was lying!

These salespeople get a commission, so naturally they can sell as many pairs as possible.

Every extra pair sold counts.

But Ji Pianran didn't know that!

There aren't many people in Huang County who wear stockings, let alone fishnet stockings.

She knows absolutely nothing about these things.

Seeing the salesperson say this, she looked doubtfully at the face of the security guard and said seriously, 'Really?'

The salesperson nodded, her expression was full of sincerity.

'Of course, these fishnet stockings are a superb buy, they're much more breathable than stockings, and they're not easily torn!'

Of course, it's all mesh, so how could it break?

Ji Pianran looked at her doubtfully and said after a while, 'Then get me a pair.'

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged woman quickly took a pair of mesh stockings with packaging from the shelf and handed them to Ji Pianran.

She looked at them and couldn't say what was strange about them, but she just felt strange about them.

However, she bought them anyway, in the attitude that it was fine even if there was no fish or shrimp.

After all, the IQ of a woman in love is really not high.

After buying the socks, Ji Pianran took Tang Tang back to the hotel. The two of them watched a bit of cat and mouse before Tang Tang fell into a daze and fell asleep.

Gu Chen went to the police station first, and then to an Internet cafe. He spent one yuan to charge an hour of Internet access.

Then he found a computer and sat down, clicked on Baidu, and started searching for shoe polish.

Sure enough, the moment he hit enter, countless links about shoe polish appeared.

The most conspicuous one was an advertisement saying: 'If we use M&G shoe polish, we can earn 10,000 yuan a day. It's not a dream, we're not selling shoe polish, but a dream!'

Gu Chen didn't hesitate and clicked in immediately. He saw a prominent phone number at the bottom: 138.

At this, Gu Chen couldn't help but take out his phone and dial it.

'Hello, how can I join you?' he asked directly.

On hearing this, the person on the other end of the line hesitated for a moment, 'Why do you want to join us?'

'Why do you think? I want to make money, I want to earn over ten thousand yuan a month and live a good life!' Gu Chen replied with a straight face.

'So what is your occupation?' the person on the other end of the line asked in an unfluent Mandarin accent.

Gu Chen thought for a moment, 'I sell vegetables, and I can earn about fifty yuan a day. It's really tiring and hard work. Since I'm selling things anyway, I might as well sell shoe polish with you!'

To be honest, these pyramid scheme scammers are really sneaky. When they ask what you do for a living, they want to find out your income and occupation.

If you say you're a lawyer or work for the government, they generally don't try to scam you.

They just hang up after saying they made a mistake.

But if you say you're a small business owner or employee with little education, they really like you.

They specifically target these people.

When Gu Chen said she bought vegetables, the other person immediately relaxed his guard and even spoke enthusiastically.

'Hello, hello, our company is specifically tailored to people like you who have dreams and have not yet met the right person. Believe me, as long as you join us, the next millionaire will be you!'

After saying that, he continued, 'By the way, what's your name?'

Gu Chen thought about it for a while before speaking, 'My surname is Tian, everyone calls me Tian Laosi!'

He didn't tell the truth, and there was no need to tell these scammers the truth.

Moreover, if the eldest brother was really cheated by them, there must be a reason why they hadn't released him after so many days. If the eldest brother was suspicious, he himself would be in trouble.

The name Tian Laosi was good, with a sense of authenticity that made it sound rural.
