‘ Quick report, quick report. Three copper coins for one copy!” A young man on the streets of the capital was holding a stack of papers in his hand and shouting loudly.
“Hey, is there any good news today?” Someone looked at the newspaper in the young man’s hand and asked curiously.
The young man grinned and replied happily,” Sir, it’s about the news of the princess’s wedding gift! ”
When the customer heard that, he immediately said with interest,” Oh, come, give me a copy!’
The young man immediately took out a copy from a stack of newspapers happily and handed it to the customer.” Here, three copper coins. Thank you!’
The guest took the newspaper and couldn’t wait to open it. The headline was about the princess of Guguo marrying the general and the betrothal gift.
He took a look, and then, in the middle of the road, he exclaimed in shock,” Oh my G.o.d, the betrothal gift from the princess of Guguo to the general is actually a zoo!”
The people who heard him shouting immediately felt that this was indeed big news.
“Come, come, let me see!”
As he spoke, he reached out to s.n.a.t.c.h the newspaper from his hands.
The owner of the newspaper said angrily,” If you want to read the newspaper, go buy it yourself. This is my newspaper. I still want to read it.”
“Tsk, stingy!” The man said disdainfully. Then, he looked at the young man who sold the newspaper and shouted,” Come, give me a newspaper copy!’ As he spoke, he reached into his pocket to look for money.
The young man who sold the newspaper scratched the back of his head in a daze and said with a simple and honest smile,” Sorry, sir. The newspaper has been sold out. If you still want to buy newspapers, please go to the newsstand!”
The customer who had reached out to take out the money paused and said with a disbelieving expression,”Sold… Sold out?”
He had clearly seen the stack of newspapers in his hand just now. In the blink of an eye, it was gone.
The young man smiled embarra.s.sedly and replied,” As long as it’s about the princess and the general of the Guguo, this newspaper will sell well!”
It wasn’t just a normal sale, but a particularly good one.
The stack of newspapers in his hands would be s.n.a.t.c.hed away in an instant.
The young man seemed to have thought of something. He patted his head and said apologetically,” I’m sorry, sir. I’m in a hurry to go to the express mail station to get some more copies. If 1 don’t go now, someone else will s.n.a.t.c.h it away.”
Then, before the customer could react, he ran away.
Since the newspapers were selling so well today, of course, he had to sell more so that he could save some money and get married.
When the young man quickly ran to the post office, it was already crowded with people.
It was obvious that these people were like him, here to s.n.a.t.c.h the goods.
With so many people, how could he squeeze in and s.n.a.t.c.h the goods? The young man’s face was filled with anxiety.
At this moment, the young man’s eyes turned, and he walked to the front desk. He smiled and asked,” Sister Qianlan, there are so many people now. Can you help me?”
They were all old acquaintances.
Qianlan smiled and said,” What favour?”
The young man smiled and said,” How about this? I’ll stay here and watch the counter for you for a while. See if you can help me…” As he said this, he pointed inside.
It was obvious that he wanted her to help him get some newspapers.
It seemed like they were old acquaintances.
Qianlan shook her head and said with a smile,” If it were any other time, I would definitely help. However, our boss will be coming over to patrol today. 1 can’t leave my post. Otherwise, if she catches me, I might have my year-end bonus deducted!”
Who knew that when this young man heard that his boss would come over, his eyes lit up, and he seemed to be in high spirits? His face was obviously excited, and he asked urgently,” Sister Qianlan, are you talking about Manager Lin?”
When he asked “Manager Lin”, his face was flushed.
Qianlan understood the young man’s thoughts very well. She covered her mouth and laughed.” Of course, it’s her. Do we have another manager Lin here?”
When the young man heard that, he rubbed his hands nervously and said with a smile,” Sister Qianlan, you’re right.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard someone exclaim,” Wow, everyone, look! Manager Lin is here!”
Hearing this exclamation, everyone looked at the door in unison.
Sure enough, they saw Manager Lin, who was familiar to everyone. It was just that Manager Lin was not very familiar with them.
Then, everyone looked at her and called out to her loudly and shyly,” Manager Lin!”
Lin Xinyue walked into the post office and nodded calmly and coldly at the people who came here to read the newspaper..
