Chapter 210: Just blow it like that?
"Expired, impossible!"
When Xu Damao heard this, his eyebrows jumped and he almost blurted out,
"I bought this discount coupon from my uncle a few days ago!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Damao realized that he had said the wrong thing.
Before coming here, he had boasted to Lou Xiao'e that the discount coupon was given to him by He Daqing's family, but now something like this happened. This...
Shame!
It’s so embarrassing!
Sure enough, Xu Damao discovered that Lou Xiao'e's expression had changed.
Xu Huizhen said seriously,
"It is true that we issued the discount coupons for Uncle Er, but each coupon has a time limit and is generally valid for no more than a week."
This is the latest strategy developed by the Civilian Canteen under the instruction of He Daqing.
In the past, too many discount coupons were issued for promotion, but many people saved them and were reluctant to use them, or they flocked to the canteen during a certain period of time, which seriously affected the normal operation of the canteen.
He Daqing and Xu Huizhen discussed it and came up with this idea.
Each coupon still has the same value as before, but has a time limit.
In this way, anyone who has a discount coupon must resell it within a week, or come to the cafeteria to consume within a week. This not only promotes the popularity of the cafeteria, but also creates a different sense of urgency.
Xu Huizhen looked at Xu Damao and asked,
"What's the date today?"
Xu Damao blinked his eyes.
"Number 20."
Xu Huizhen handed him the discount coupon.
"Look at the time above, what day is it?"
Xu Damao, "..."
The validity period is one week, and according to the time on the discount coupon, it expired yesterday!
When I bought the coupon from Yan Bugui, Yan Bugui didn't even remind me!
It’s so embarrassing!
"How much is it in total? Let me pay!"
Lou Xiao'e saw the whole scene.
She had no feelings for Xu Damao in the first place, and now that this had happened, she hated this man even more.
As she spoke, she casually took out five dollars, put it on the counter, turned around and left.
"Hey, Xiao'e, Miss Xiao'e!"
Xu Damao knew that he was in trouble and hurriedly chased after him.
"Xu Damao!"
Lou Xiao'e frowned and turned to look at Xu Damao.
"I didn't expect you to be this kind of person. I don't think we are a good match. So that's it!"
Having said that, he no longer paid attention to Xu Damao, rode his bike back.
She was just worrying about having no reason to refuse, but she didn't expect Xu Damao to reveal himself first. This... is good!
Xu Damao, "..."
Damn, what is this?
"Yan Bugui, you old fool, you screwed me so badly!"
"I'm not done with you!"
The more Xu Damao thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, and in the end he could only focus all his anger on Yan Bugui.
Thinking of this, he also got on his bicycle and prepared to settle the score with Yan Bugui.
"It seems that these two people are in danger!"
Looking at the scene outside the door, Xu Huizhen shook her head and a helpless smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"We are not from the same world. Even if we get married now, we will get divorced sooner or later!"
He Daqing shrugged.
He was originally thinking of taking action himself, but now, he doesn't even need to make a move, Xu Damao has already failed!
Speaking of which, I have to thank my second uncle Yan Bugui.
This guy is really cruel when he plans!
Having accumulated so many coupons before, with the canteen's new strategy coming out, Yan Bugui had to sell the discount coupons as soon as possible. In this case, it was not surprising that such a thing happened.
It was noon.
Yan Bugui had not yet finished get off work and was eating the dry food he brought with him in the office of Hongxing Primary School.
Although Hongxing Primary School paid a lot of salary, the treatment was actually not as good as that in the state-owned factories. There was not even a cafeteria, and Yan Bugui could only bring his own lunch box.
"Yan Bugui, get out here!"
Yan Bugui, "???"
Teachers, “???”
Yan Bugui could tell that it was Xu Damao's voice.
I thought to myself, why did this rascal come to my school and even call me by my name? I didn’t even provoke him!
However, Yan Bugui knew Xu Damao's temper. If he did not show up, this guy would definitely embarrass him.
So, Yan Bugui put down his chopsticks and hurried out, only to see Xu Damao walking towards him with a murderous look on his face.
"Xu Damao, what are you doing!"
Seeing this scene, Yan Bugui couldn't help but take a step back, his eyelids twitching.
"Yan Bugui!"
Xu Damao stepped forward quickly, grabbed Yan Bugui by the collar, and said through gritted teeth,
"You bastard, it's fine if you cheat others, but you actually cheated me. Am I, Xu Damao, so easy to mess with? Your coupons have expired, why didn't you tell me!"
"Coupon?"
Upon hearing this, Yan Bugui suddenly understood.
"Xu Damao, this is where you are wrong!"
Yan Bugui immediately let go of Xu Damao's hand.
"Everyone knows that the coupons for the Civilian Canteen are valid for a week. I'm asking you, when I sold them to you, was the validity period expired?"
Xu Damao, "???"
If we calculate based on a few days ago, it has indeed not expired.
However, since the deal had not been reached in the first place, he was of no use.
"That's it."
Yan Bugui spread his hands.
"The discount coupon had not expired, but you didn't use it and insisted on waiting until it expired to use it. I'm not cheating you, you're cheating yourself! Why are you blaming me?"
As he said this, he pretended to be angry.
"In the future, if you want it, I won't sell it to you. There are many people who want discount coupons!"
With a snort, Yan Bugui adjusted his glasses, turned around and went back to his office.
Xu Damao, "..."
Damn, what is going on?
"So, you guys are blowing it now?"
When Xu Damao rode his bike back to Nanluoguxiang with his head down, facing the eager eyes of Xu Wude and his wife, he had to tell them the result truthfully.
"Oh, this is my fault. I didn't expect the discount coupon to expire just one day later!"
Xu Damao looked distressed.
"Lou Xiao'e is very angry, but this is a misunderstanding, I have to find a way to explain it..."
Xu Damao felt that Lou Xiao'e was a pretty good girl. Not to mention that she was petite and cute, she was also Lou Zhenhua's daughter. If she became an accountant in a civilian canteen, then wouldn't it be quite easy for him to eat and drink there for free in the future?
However, how to make Lou Xiao'e feel good about me again is a very serious problem!
"What? You broke up with that guy?"
at the same time.
Lou Xiao'e also returned to the Lou family. When Lou Zhenhua and Tan Lingrou heard the result, they couldn't help but look at each other.
They also thought that if Lou Xiao'e didn't agree, they would try to persuade her to get along slowly and see how she would react. But they never expected that the relationship would end in failure.
