Back to the 1970s: Building My Fortune Through Time Trading-Chapter 452: First Place

The man was stunned for a moment, not understanding what he meant.

After two seconds of reaction, he spoke with an embarrassed expression, "Class monitor, are you introducing us? Isn’t it too fast?"

Not good-looking, but his imagination is fancy. He hasn’t even succeeded yet.

Thinking of this, Song Weidong spoke with a stern face, "If you have the energy to overthink, it seems you aren’t tired enough. Stand up, at ease, attention, about face, run ten laps around the playground, ready, go!"

At the command, the person ran out crying.

What did he do wrong again? Why did the class monitor punish him again?

Meanwhile, Su Xiaoxiao was leading everyone on stage for a skit performance.

The title is: A Day in the Life of a Department Store Salesperson.

Su Xiaoxiao and Zhang Yulan played salespeople, while the remaining people portrayed different pretentious customers.

First, Zhang Guoqing played the stingy boyfriend, coming with Qin Shuang who played his girlfriend to buy a watch.

But he thought every watch he looked at was too expensive, so he found various reasons to nitpick, like this watch isn’t shiny enough, that one isn’t grand enough...

The audience frowned deeply.

"Why is this person so hard to please? Clearly, he doesn’t want to spend money and still finds faults with the watch, utterly shameless!"

"Indeed, I have never seen such a penny-pinching man, wanting to marry a wife but not even willing to buy a watch."

"Bah, even if I stay single forever, I wouldn’t marry a scumbag like this."

The audience was indignant, yet Su Xiaoxiao consistently served with a polite smile.

She enthusiastically introduced them to watches of various price ranges, showing utmost patience.

In the end, even the stingy boyfriend felt a bit embarrassed and left happily with his girlfriend after buying the cheapest watch.

"Good, that’s the spirit of our department store salespeople, no matter what kind of customer you encounter, you must be patient."

Director Song applauded.

He despised those salespeople who bullied customers, behaving like big shots when encountering them.

They really should see, this is what you call service.

Soon, the second customer was Qian Xiaoyan playing the wealthy young lady.

She entered the door, dismissing everything in the store, thinking nothing was high-class enough.

Zhang Yulan and Su Xiaoxiao faced her nitpicking with enthusiasm and ultimately, she bought the most expensive dress in the store.

Finally, a teary-eyed child went on stage, crying out for her mother.

This was a little helper Su Xiaoxiao hired with a handful of candy backstage earlier.

Su Xiaoxiao and Zhang Yulan patiently coaxed the child, but no matter what, she wouldn’t stop crying.

In the end, Su Xiaoxiao winked at the little girl, "Little sister, would you like big sister to show you a magic trick?"

Upon hearing about the magic show, the little girl was instantly interested, looking at her with big blinking eyes.

Su Xiaoxiao shook her hands at her, "See, is there nothing in big sister’s hands?"

The little girl nodded earnestly, and then Su Xiaoxiao rubbed her hands together, a rose flower appeared like magic.

The audience was stunned for a moment, then a thunderous applause erupted.

No one expected a magic show as the finale.

The skit combined with a magic show was simply perfect.

Su Xiaoxiao led the group to form a line, smiling, "Welcome to the Binhe City Second Department Store. No matter what you need, whether you buy something or not, we will serve you wholeheartedly, trying to meet all your needs with smiley and attentive service."

After speaking, they bowed together to close the act. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

A thunderous applause erupted from the audience again.

"Good, well said, smiling and attentive service, truly excellent!"

Director Song stood up and applauded, followed by a group of judges.

It seemed today’s first place had been decided.

Finally, the group from the First Department Store had been watching intently, but upon hearing it was their turn to go on stage, their spirits instantly fell.

With such a stunning performance prior, how could they surpass it?

So, after the final group sing-along, the performance section officially ended.

Soon, the competition result was out, Su Xiaoxiao and her team at the Binhe City Second Department Store were undoubtedly the first place winners.

Yan Guohua felt proud, finally, their Second Department Store overshadowed the First Department Store; it was a first.

Su Xiaoxiao led the team to the stage to accept the award. She walked proudly up to the stage and upon receiving the certificate found that the first prize had a cash prize of ten yuan for each person, instantly grinning from ear to ear.

She cleared her throat and delivered her acceptance speech.

"Thanks to the leadership for this performing opportunity. As a member of the supply and marketing system, we are immensely proud, and we will continue to work hard in the future, shining in our respective positions, striving to be salespeople that the people love."

The performance segment ended, and next was the recognition section for outstanding employees and advanced units.

Each department store had three outstanding employee slots.

The Second Department Store selected Su Xiaoxiao, Qin Shuang, and Zhang Yulan. Although they knew the result beforehand, hearing their names called on the spot, all three were very excited.

Hand in hand, the three went up to the stage to receive their awards and bowed to the audience.

After the outstanding employees’ list was read, it was time for the advanced units’ selection.

There were only three advanced unit slots each year, last year it was the First, Third, and Fifth Department Stores.

The Second Department Store had been at the bottom for three consecutive years.

Chen Guangjian still felt a little upset over losing the performance to the Second Department Store earlier.

Upon hearing about the advanced unit recognition, his spirits were lifted immediately.

Historically, the First Department Store had topped the list for five consecutive years; this time should be no exception.

He looked at Yan Guohua smugly, "What’s the use of an impressive performance show? Our department store competition still depends on overall strength."

Yan Guohua didn’t bother to respond.

In everything, the two of them had to compete, but on this point, he was always under the old man’s thumb.

Alas, it seemed this year would also end without distinction...

Just as he thought of this, the host announced, "First place, Binhe City Second Department Store."

Yan Guohua was stunned for a couple of seconds, then leaped from his seat as if he wanted to stand on the chair and shout to the sky.

"Old man, how about that? Do you admit defeat? This time we are the first."

He cast a proud glance at Chen Guangjian, who instantly looked displeased.

Making big claims just to be slapped in the face wasn’t a good feeling.

He pulled a long face and snorted, "Consider yourself lucky, anyway, we’ve been champions for five consecutive years, this time we’ll let you have it."

"We don’t need your pity; we won first place by our own merits."

"That’s a big thing, look how happy you are, you’ve never won first place before?"

The two started arguing again, Su Xiaoxiao sighed helplessly, knowing their competitive nature was incorrigible.

Just then, she heard a commotion nearby.
