Chapter 577: 154: To Buy Whitening Moisturizing Cream (3rd Update)_1

Li Ronghua continued, “The whitening moisturizer for this month is sold out. If you want to buy it, you have to wait until the 5th. Wenhua, would you mind if I get it for you on the 5th?”

Zhou Wenhua did not directly answer Li Ronghua’s words but instead asked, “What date is the day after tomorrow?”

“It’s the 3rd.” Li Ronghua replied.

Zhou Wenhua countered, “Then do you think it’s acceptable for you to bring it to me on the 5th? Li Ronghua, do you think I can’t afford it and are purposely trying to embarrass me?!”

“No, I’m not! Wenhua, how could you think that of me?” Li Ronghua hurriedly explained, “The whitening moisturizer is extremely popular. It’s snatched up as soon as it hits the shelves each month! If you give me some time, I’ll see if I can find a workaround.”

“Really?” Zhou Wenhua’s expression slightly softened.

Li Ronghua continued, “Wait for me here.”

“Then hurry up!” Zhou Wenhua appeared impatient.

Li Ronghua turned around and went inside the store.

“Xiaohe!”

“What’s wrong Sister Ronghua?” Xiaohe put down the aloe gel in her hand and walked over to Li Ronghua.

Li Ronghua continued, “Xiaohe, did you buy a bottle of whitening moisturizer last month?”

“Yes,” Xiaohe nodded, “Why?”

Li Ronghua grabbed Xiaohe’s hand, “Xiaohe, dear sister, can you do me a favor?”

Xiaohe was taken aback, then said, “What favor? Sister Ronghua, just tell me directly.”

Li Ronghua continued, “Dear, could you let your sister have that bottle of whitening moisturizer? I really need it.”

“Well…” Xiaohe hesitated.

Although they are in-house employees, getting the whitening moisturizer is also quite difficult, requiring them to queue and reserve like regular customers.

If every employee took advantage of their internal resources to stockpile goods and sell them at high prices, wouldn’t that create chaos?

“Xiaohe, my dear sister, please help me?” Li Ronghua pleaded, “I’m willing to give you my entire month’s commission!” What was a mere month’s commission to her when she was willing to give up everything for Zhou Wenhua?

This proposal tempted Xiaohe.

After all, Li Ronghua’s monthly commission was quite considerable.

And Li Ronghua was the store manager, essentially a leader. She didn’t want to offend Li Ronghua.

Xiaohe continued, “Sister Ronghua, we’re colleagues. If you really want it, just give me half a month’s commission.”

“Really?” Li Ronghua asked, surprised.

“Yes.” Xiaohe continued, “I’ll go get you the whitening moisturizer.”

“Thank you, Xiaohe! You’re really like my own sister!” Li Ronghua was extremely excited.

She was also overjoyed that she could help Zhou Wenhua.

Shortly after, Xiaohe came out with the whitening moisturizer.

Li Ronghua took the whitening moisturizer, “Xiaohe, things are a bit tight for me this month, can I pay you when I get my salary in the middle of the month?”

The whitening moisturizer costs 125 yuan a bottle.

Li Ronghua had used all this month’s salary to help Zhou Wenhua, she had just spent 200 yuan on a single fountain pen, where would she get the money to pay Xiaohe?

Xiaohe laughed, “It’s alright, wait till the middle of the month. I’m not dependant on this money.” Li Ronghua was the store manager here, so she wasn’t worried about her running away.

Li Ronghua came back outside with the whitening moisturizer in hand.

Zhou Wenhua impatiently said, “Why did it take so long to come out? If you didn’t want to do it, you should have just said so! There’s no need to jerk me around like this!”

Li Ronghua immediately apologized, “I’m sorry, Wenhua, it wasn’t intentional. Here’s your whitening moisturizer.”

Despite the grovelling in front of Zhou Wenhua that felt deep to her bones, she didn’t understand that a flower can never bloom out of dust.

Zhou Wenhua took the moisturizer and asked, “Do you have money on you right now?”

This was the first time Zhou Wenhua had asked Li Ronghua for money upfront. In the past, it had always been Li Ronghua voluntarily offering money to Zhou Wenhua.

Hearing this, Li Ronghua quickly checked her pockets. Pulling out the only bill she had, she handed it to Zhou Wenhua, “Here, this is for you.”

“That’s it?” Zhou Wenhua slightly frowned, “Li Ronghua, are you worried I won’t pay you back later? Relax, once I graduate and start working, I’ll repay you every cent!”

He was just temporarily broke.

How petty of Li Ronghua!

What can you do with ten yuan?
