“You… you’re bullying me.”
A mix of grievance and shame, Gao Xiao Feng was about to cry from being bullied by Sha Bao Yu.
Sha Bao Yu gently lifted Gao Xiao Feng's chin with his hand, her pitiful appearance instantly triggering his protective instincts.
“Such a beautiful face, why do you always keep your head down?”
…
“Are you afraid that others will discover your beauty?”
Hitting the nail on the head, Gao Xiao Feng nodded involuntarily.
Her stunning beauty was a burden to her.
The covetous gazes constantly thrown her way made her tremble with fear all the time.
She was just a fisherman's daughter with no background, no ability to protect herself.
Keeping her head down might reduce the chances of encountering bad people.
“From now on, keep your head up like this.
Your beauty is not your fault, I’m here, you don’t need to be afraid of anyone.”
…
Sha Bao Yu's domineering words shocked Gao Xiao Feng, a longing expression appearing on her delicate face.
Who wouldn’t want to bravely display their most beautiful side?
Sha Bao Yu easily let go of his hand that was holding Gao Xiao Feng’s chin, his eyes looking straight ahead, encouraging her as if transmitting strength.
Gao Xiao Feng was about to lower her head out of habit, but she saw the disappointment in Sha Bao Yu’s eyes. Taking a deep breath, she finally gathered her courage and stubbornly tilted her head up, her lips pursed.
At this moment, her eyes reflected a determined look, her life seemed to have been elevated.
…
Sha Bao Yu couldn’t hold back anymore, slowly approaching Gao Xiao Feng again.
The girl seemed to know what was about to happen, this time she didn’t dodge, following her heart and stepping forward.
Finally.
The two kissed passionately.
The coldness of the girl’s lips, her stiff response, all stimulated Sha Bao Yu's nerves.
After a long time, the two finally parted reluctantly.
Sha Bao Yu held the girl's shoulders tightly with both hands, and in the most resolute tone, he said words that Gao Xiao Feng would never forget.
“From now on, I will protect you.”
It was like a vow, more like a promise, making Gao Xiao Feng intoxicated.
“Sha Zong, Sister…”
Gao Xiao Qin's shout broke the amorous atmosphere between the two, instantly putting on a nonchalant act.
“Zhao Zong said there are still many people outside, and they plan to open the store early today, so let everyone get ready.”
Gao Xiao Qin didn’t notice anything unusual between the two, because of yesterday's incident, she didn't dare look directly at Sha Bao Yu.
“Okay, I got it.”
After watching her sister leave, Gao Xiao Feng, like a virtuous wife, wrung out the towel and helped Sha Bao Yu wash his face.
The simple office felt like a home filled with warmth.
With the experience of the opening day, everyone had more experience today.
Three to five sales staff were responsible for one area, which could better maintain order.
A transportation team was set up specifically to handle the transportation work from the warehouse to the shelves.
Seeing that the Shan Shui Department Store was running smoothly, without the chaos of yesterday.
Sha Bao Yu pulled Gao Xiao Feng aside for a moment.
“What are you doing, don’t you see everyone is busy?”
Everyone was busy, but she wasn’t working, which made her feel very embarrassed.
“Are you planning to work at the supermarket for the rest of your life?”
Even if Gao Xiao Feng wasn’t afraid of hardship, Sha Bao Yu couldn't bear to let his woman work at the supermarket for the rest of her life.
“The salary here is high, and Zhao Zong is so nice…”
“You, you…”
Gao Xiao Feng was a sensible woman who longed for a simple and ordinary life.
“Sister, come and look, the people from the TV station are here for an interview.”
To expand the promotional effect, the provincial TV station, after receiving instructions from the leaders, also rushed to the Shan Shui Department Store as soon as possible.
Zhao Rui Long, who was now one of the top ten outstanding young people in Han Dong Province, happily accepted the interview from the reporter.
“Please rest assured, our next plan for the Shan Shui Department Store is to open five branches across the province, ensuring that everyone can buy cheap and high-quality goods.”
Facing the camera, Zhao Rui Long learned from Sha Bao Yu's usual style, with grace and composure, giving people a sense of inexplicable trust.
“Thank you, Zhao Zong, for accepting our interview, we also wish the Shan Shui Department Store can open more branches and better serve our people.”
Gao Xiao Qin looked enviously at the glamorous TV reporter through the shelves.
She had always harbored a secret dream in her heart.
She hoped that one day she could also become a respected reporter, using the lens to make everyone know her.
But she knew, all of this was just a luxury fantasy.
She was just a fisherman's daughter.
She lowered her head in disappointment, but unexpectedly met Sha Bao Yu’s bright eyes.
“What’s wrong? Are you interested in being a reporter?”
“Maybe you really can.”
