Traveling through the Eighth Five-Year Plan: Starting from selling fruit at a stall

Chapter 257 They Empty the Store

As usual, when Ling Yue got up at seven o'clock, Wang Zhaoyang had already gone downstairs to the factory after having breakfast.

As soon as he arrived in the lobby, the phone at the front desk rang.

Ling Xiaohua picked up the phone and said habitually: "Hello, Hongyuan Hotel..."

Before she finished speaking, Ling Xiaohua listened intently for a while, then suddenly her expression changed drastically, and she shouted: "What, call the police first, we'll be here right away!"

After hanging up the phone, Ling Xiaohua took Ling Yue and ran outside.

"Xiao Hua, what happened?"

Ling Xiaohua ran towards the station while running, "Sister, a store has been stolen."

Ling Yue's mind was buzzing: "What?"

"Zhao Songbai called and said that a store was stolen and the store was almost emptied."

Ling Yue only felt a chill rushing from the soles of her feet to her forehead.

"How is this possible, I was fine when I was there yesterday."

"I don't know what's going on, let's go and have a look first."

"Don't worry, call your brother-in-law first."

Ling Xiaohua had already arrived at the intersection, but there were very few taxis at the intersection at this time, she looked anxiously at both sides, and said, "It's too late, let's go there first."

Ling Yue took out Santana's car key from her bag: "Xiaohua, wait for me here, I'll go drive."

Ling Xiaohua was stunned: "Sister, you..."

Before she finished speaking, Ling Yue ran to the parking spot of the car, opened the door, and under Ling Xiaohua's astonished gaze, she waved her hand at her in the car: "Get in the car."

Ling Xiaohua didn't have time to think about when Ling Yue learned to drive. The situation was urgent, and she didn't care so much, so she opened the co-pilot's door and sat in it.

"fasten your seatbelt."

Ling Yue dropped these words, and the car rushed out.

It only took 10 minutes for Ling Yue to park the car firmly in the open space in front of the department store.

The two got out of the car and saw that there were already two policemen in the store taking notes.

Seeing them coming, Zhao Songbai pointed to Ling Yue and said to the two policemen, "The lady boss is here."

Ling Yue walked into the store, and seeing the empty store, she gritted her teeth angrily.

"Are you the person in charge of this store?"

Facing the police's questioning, Ling Yue said truthfully, "Yes, I am the owner of this store."

"What time do you usually close?"

"It's usually 06:30 in the afternoon in winter, and we closed at exactly six o'clock yesterday."

"Did the door lock when you left?"

"Comrade police, we don't live in the store, and we will definitely lock the door when we leave the store."

"You first count and see how much you lost."

Ling Yue was about to go forward, when Ling Xiaohua said: "Sister, you are pregnant now, leave these matters to me and Zhao Songbai."

Ling Yue looked at the messy store, and the anger in his heart rushed up.

She has been in the shop for so long, and this is the first time she has encountered such a thing.

"Have you offended anyone recently?"

Who did you offend?

Ling Yue thought about it carefully, then shook her head slightly: "We've been very busy recently, and we haven't offended anyone."

"Did you offend anyone before?"

before?

Ling Yue shook her head again: "I have never offended anyone before."

Even if he offended someone before, that person is no longer in Qingpu City, and now he doesn't even know where they are.

In the past, he only offended Su Baile.

At that time, she was jealous that her business was good, and when she made trouble for herself, in the end they were the ones who suffered a loss and left.

In addition, at that time, Ji Zhongqiu and Zhao Songbai would often find some friends on the road and ask them to pay more attention, but nothing happened.

But now, Ji Zhongqiu has just arrived in the capital to develop, and no one is in Qingpu City, let alone anything that offends or offends.

"Sister, do you think it could be He Zhigang?"

Ling Yue glanced at her: "It shouldn't be him."

She really didn't know what Ling Xiaohua was thinking.

When He Zhigang came to look for Ling Xiaohua, it happened to be the wedding day of Ji Zhongqiu and Ling Xiaohua.

In order to prevent him from causing damage, he came forward to the satellite and took people away.

As for where it was taken, no one knew without telling the satellite.

But Ling Yue asked Xiang Weixing secretly later, and Xiang Weixing didn't hide it from her. He just said that he would treat him in his own way. Since he likes to break other people's legs so much, he should let him try to break his legs too. What is it like.

Hearing what Xiang Xing said, why doesn't Ling Yue understand?

He Zhigang's broken leg may still be light, and he may even be sold to a black brick kiln by them. A person with a broken leg may not have a chance to escape in his entire life.

"Sister, he is the only one I can think of. I really can't think of anyone else besides him."

Ling Yue glared at her and scolded: "Don't talk nonsense about things that don't exist."

Unexpectedly, Ling Xiaohua's complaints were overheard by the police.

They turned their heads and asked Ling Xiaohua, "Who is this He Zhigang?"

"Comrade policeman, he is a fellow of mine. He came to accompany my sister when she got married in May this year. We haven't seen him since then, and we don't know where he went."

Ling Xiaohua was confused by what she heard, why didn't she know that He Zhigang followed her when she got married?

She looked at Ling Yue suspiciously.

"What did he come to see you for?"

"My sister is getting married. He met her by chance and came over for a wedding drink."

Ling Yue knows that the best choice is to get He Zhigang out of this matter now.

If she really didn't show up, Ling Xiaohua would suspect He Zhigang.

Speaking of it, I blame myself for not explaining He Zhigang's matter to her clearly.

"Who can testify?"

Zhao Songbai quickly testified: "Comrade policeman, I can testify that He Zhigang left after dinner that day. Our lady boss was kind and asked me to buy him a train ticket. As for where he went, we don't know."

"Who else can prove it but you?"

Ling Yue's heart tightened, she was in a panic, and said quickly: "There are a few friends, they can all testify, but they are in the capital now, and we don't have their contact information."

Ji Zhongqiu's place hasn't been renovated yet, and the phone hasn't been installed yet. It will be a while, so I'm sure I won't be able to get in touch.

Unless they took the initiative to contact Ling Yue.

The policeman nodded, and took photos of the current situation one by one to keep evidence, "Don't worry, we will never let a bad person go, we will contact you again when we have news in two days, and you will count the losses in these two days Report it again."

The police drove away, and Ling Yue sat powerlessly in the shop, feeling very uncomfortable looking at the messy shop.

"Sister, why are you so sure it's not He Zhigang?"

Ling Yue glanced at her and said tactfully, "He doesn't have that ability now."

Ling Xiaohua didn't understand, "Why doesn't he have that ability? He hasn't done much harm before? Why don't you let me talk to the police?"

Ling Yue's face turned pale, and she raised her voice and shouted: "Ling Xiaohua!"

Seeing the two salespersons and other people watching the excitement at the door of the store staring at her, Ling Yue had to lower her voice again: "I said, He Zhigang doesn't have that ability now, he just doesn't have that ability, if you want Zhao Songbai They eat in prison, and you rush to the police station to explain the situation."

Ling Xiaohua was stunned.

How could she not understand after hearing these words?

He Zhigang's current situation is certainly no better than before.

With Zhao Songbai's method, the presence or absence of He Zhigang is a big problem.

Word spread quickly that a store had been stolen.

The landlord rushed back when he heard the news, and said angrily, "Why are there such bad people? We didn't hear anything last night."

Ever since they rented the facade to Ling Yue, their family lived on the second floor.

The back door is usually used when going in and out. In the past, when Ling Yue was cooking in the backyard, he could talk to them from time to time, but now, Ling Yue seldom appears in the store, and the number of times they meet is only a handful.

"Auntie, we can only say that we are unlucky."

I can only admit that I am unlucky!
Other than that, there's really no way.

According to statistics, 80.00% of the clothes in the store were stolen, and the rest were smashed and thrown on the ground by the other party.

Fortunately, the display stand is made of steel pipe, and they can't destroy it without tools.

Maybe it was because they were worried about making a noise and being heard, even the cash register was intact.

It's just that to Ling Yue's surprise, they even took away the fitting mirror.

The fitting mirror is only a few yuan, and if you don't even let this go, there is really no one else.

"Miss Boss, we counted, and the initial loss is more than 2 yuan."

Ling Yue took the statistical form from the salesperson, glanced at it briefly, and said, "Fortunately, it sold for more than 4000 yuan yesterday."

It is also thanks to the impromptu event held yesterday, otherwise, the loss would be even greater.

"You two go back and rest for two days, so let's take it as a vacation. After I fix it again, you can come back to work."

"How long will that take?"

Ling Yue thought for a while: "It won't take long."

It is certainly impossible to close the door every day to do business.

Today is something that has to be done for a reason.

But if Ling Yue wants to open a business, he can get the clothes from the garment factory with just one phone call.

It's just that she's not in the mood to do that right now.

After closing the store door again, Ling Yue stood in front of the car and subconsciously glanced at the opposite side.

Seeing that Yan Qingtian's store across the street was still closed, he didn't think much of it, and greeted Ling Xiaohua to get into the car, and drove back to the hotel.

The two got out of the car, and Ling Xiaohua asked her belatedly: "Sister, when did you learn to drive? I don't know why?"

Ling Yue said lightly: "You haven't followed a car before, so you definitely don't know. I have followed a car before, and no one competed with me for the co-pilot. If you watch too much, you will naturally."

Ling Xiaohua snorted, didn't doubt it, sat on the sofa wearily, and said, "It's 2 yuan, how many pieces of clothes do we have to sell to earn it back?"

"Are you stupid?" Ling Yue said, "Wu Xueying's statistics are the selling price. If the cost price is used, it is only more than 1 yuan."

"I think you are stupid?" Ling Xiaohua pointed at Maimang, "The police asked us to count the losses. We must count the losses according to the selling price. How can it be counted according to the purchase price?"

She pouted: "Sister, I think it's okay for them to take the clothes, but why did they even take our hangers?"

Ling Yue frowned: "Hanger?"

"Yeah, didn't you notice that the hangers on those display racks were all stolen, and even the steel pipes hanging on the wall were stolen."

Ling Yue suddenly thought of something: "Xiaohua, you said that this group of people who stole clothes are from the same company?"

"Coming together?"

Ling Yue analyzed: "Look, if it's just ordinary people, they can steal a few clothes at most and change them."

"But our clothes hangers are different from ordinary clothes hangers. The shoulder rests of our clothes hangers are much thicker than ordinary household ones. It is not realistic for them to use them to dry clothes."

"So, I suspect that our business is so good that it arouses the jealousy of our peers."

Especially yesterday afternoon, she held an impromptu event.

If you think about it this way, it's really possible.

"The most important thing is that they even stole our two fitting mirrors. We can understand taking other things, but besides colleagues, who else would take the fitting mirrors?"

"Sister, according to what you said, can we investigate based on this clue?"

Ling Yue thought for a while, and said to Zhao Songbai: "Xiao Zhao, I have to trouble you to find a friend to help us look around for this matter, to see where there are suddenly shops opened."

Ling Yue said, and gave him another detail.

"Although the two fitting mirrors that were stolen from us were wrapped in a wooden frame, one corner of one of them was scratched by us, and there was a slanted crack."

Zhao Songbai said quickly: "Okay, sister, I'll go right away."

Watching Zhao Songbai leave, Ling Yue was a little irritable.

She stood up and prepared to drive again with the key in her pocket.

Ling Xiaohua stopped her: "Sister, where are you going?"

Ling Yue had already sat in the car and lit the fire, "I'll go to the factory to take a look, you can watch here."

Ling Yue didn't want to not do business for so many days.

Although the business of the first store is much worse than that of the other three stores, for her, this store is the first store she opened in Qingpu City.

The meaning to her is much more important than the other three stores.

Driving to the garment factory, when the car drove into the factory area, Ling Changqing watched Ling Yue get out of the car unexpectedly, and clicked twice: "Xiaoyue, when did you learn to drive?"

Ling Yue said with a smile: "Seeing that they drove it twice, I will know how to do it. It's just that I didn't dare to drive before. Today I have no choice, so I drove here."

Seeing Ling Changqing's enthusiastic smile, Ling Yue knew that the story of a shop being stolen had not yet reached here, and said, "Dad, is Zhaoyang in the office?"

"I saw him go to the workshop just now, what can you do with him?"

"It's okay, I'm just too busy, come and have a look."

Walking into the workshop, Ling Yue saw at a glance that Wang Zhaoyang was talking to the workshop supervisor.

Seeing her coming, Wang Zhaoyang walked over: "Xiaoyue, why are you here?"

Ling Yue said: "I have something to ask you, I'll go to your office, and come over when you're done."

After waiting in the office for about twenty minutes, Wang Zhaoyang opened the door and walked in.

"Xiaoyue, are you here by car?"

Ling Yue nodded, and said to him with a serious face: "Zhaoyang, last night, a shop was stolen, didn't Zhao Songbai inform you?"

Wang Zhaoyang was stunned: "No."

"How could it be stolen? How many clothes were stolen?"

Ling Yue paused, "The initial loss is 2 yuan."

Hearing Ling Yue's words, Wang Zhaoyang took a breath.

"2 yuan, did they vacate the store?"
