But after hearing Chu Ning’s words, Lu Chao suddenly laughed.
He laughed wildly and unscrupulously.
“The motivation that keeps me alive is to see that b**** being punished with my own eyes. Before that, I will not die. Also, I haven’t seen its success yet,” Lu Chao said softly after the laughter died down, staring at the computer screen in a daze.
The computer was merely a soulless machine, lifeless and unfeeling.
However, Lu Chao clearly saw his deceased parents waving and smiling at him…
“Alright.” Chu Ning sighed internally.
She felt that it was necessary to hire a psychiatrist for Lu Chao. Lu Chao was sick, and the harm brought by mental illness sometimes even went beyond physical.
“Let’s end work now. I’ll take you out for dinner,” Chu Ning said helplessly.
Other than finding a psychiatrist, Chu Ning felt that it was necessary to assign Lu Chao a nanny to take care of his daily life.
In Lu Chao’s current state, other than working, he did not even have the ability to take care of himself.
After having dinner with Lu Chao, Chu Ning still could not go home to rest.
Evening was the peak period for shopping; the shopping malls and shops had the most customers at this time. Chu Ning decided to visit these places personally to get an understanding of the sales and consumption situation of the owners and residents.
Some small supermarkets sold a wide variety of products that were very comprehensive.
However, for the same product, the price at the small supermarket was even more expensive than the price at the large shopping mall, and the quality could not be effectively guaranteed. Even so, there would still be people who chose to buy it.
Large shopping malls were generally located in the city center or some areas with developed economy and transportation, which had a lot of limitations.
Because of the restrictions on the road and the principle of proximity, people would rather spend more.
Chu Ning wandered around the streets and finally stopped in front of a small supermarket outside the community.
The interior area of the supermarket wasn’t very large. It only had one floor and was about 200 square meters. Most of such supermarkets were run by couples. At the most, they would hire one or two salespersons. If they hired more, there wouldn’t be much profit to be made.
After Chu Ning walked around, she went to the front desk and said, “May I ask who the owner of this place is?”
“I am. Young lady, what are you looking for me for?” The middle-aged woman at the front desk looked at Chu Ning in confusion.
If it wasn’t for the fact that this young lady was pretty, she might not have bothered to have such meaningless conversation.
“Sister, it’s like this. The school has recently arranged an assignment, which is a survey on a supermarket. May I ask how much our daily vegetables, meat, and other non-staple food sales are?” Chu Ning said with a smile.
Her identity as a student could effectively conceal her true intentions and lower the boss’s guard, which was more conducive to a smooth conversation.
“Wow, where are you from? You’re so pretty and so good at talking, but you should call me Auntie. Wait a moment, I’ll go look for the accounts book.” Chu Ning addressing her as ‘sister’ obviously had a great effect. The middle-aged woman’s face was filled with a bright smile, and her gaze towards Chu Ning became more affable and gentler.
“Alright, thank you.” Chu Ning heaved a sigh of relief.
These sales figures were very important to Chu Ning. Through comparative analysis, she could know the specific prices of each segment before the agricultural products were sold to the customers.
However, just as Chu Ning was waiting for the lady boss to take out the accounts book, a middle-aged man slowly walked over from the stairway connecting the first and second floor of the supermarket.
“Eh? It’s really strange. My accounts book was clearly here this morning. How come I can’t find it in such a short time?” The middle-aged woman mumbled as she continued to search.
“He Lian, what are you looking for?” The middle-aged man walked behind the counter and asked after hastily glancing at Chu Ning.
“I can’t find the accounts book. This young lady said she wanted to complete a school survey. Have you seen it?” The middle-aged woman called He Lian asked doubtfully after hearing the man speak.
It was obvious that they were a couple.
“I brought the accounts book up at noon. When they delivered the goods today, they found that the bill was not correct, so I checked it carefully again,” the man said calmly.
“I see. Go up and bring the accounts book down. This young lady wants to have a look,” Ho Lin casually said.
“No.” The man rejected her directly.
