SIAS Chapter 84.1

Yi Qingqing heard that this time was just right.

She was going to the state-owned store to watch the TV lottery today and also observe the textile factory purchasing agent to think of ways to see if she could sell the goods.

There was only one TV in total, so the lottery would only take a while.

So, it didn’t take much time. One morning was enough.

Therefore, she said, “That’s perfect. Let’s meet at the state-owned restaurant at noon and have lunch before going back.”

“Okay.” Yun Guyuan was very happy, as if he was one step closer to her.

Chen Zhihe saw that Zheng Xiaolong and Yun Guyuan had made appointments with the girls they liked.

Then, he looked at the silly girl next to him and sighed, “Come on, when are you going back?”

“Why? Do you want to go with me?” Qian Lailai said.

Chen Zhihe was very surprised. Was she also enlightened?

Before he could agree, he heard Qian Lailai continue.

“But I don’t know when I can go back. If I am fast, I might go back before noon. If I am slow, I don’t know. Let’s see at noon. If I don’t go to the state-owned restaurant at noon, I should go back early.”

Chen Zhihe said ‘Okay’ with difficulty.

After agreeing on a time, everyone dispersed to do their own things. Even Chen Zhihe and Zheng Xiaolong, who were inseparable on weekdays, went in different directions.

Yi Qingqing went directly to the state-owned store.

The spacious state-owned store was crowded with people. There were more people than every time she came before.

“How can there be so many people who want to buy a TV?” She tiptoed to look inside. It seemed that they were still gathered at the TV counter.

Yi Qingqing vaguely saw a big red paper hanging on the previously empty counter, but she couldn’t see clearly what was written on it.

“You think too much. I’m afraid that there won’t be so many people in Tieling County who can afford to buy a TV. They are all here to watch the fun!”

An auntie carrying a basket in front heard Yi Qingqing’s words and said to her.

“It’s just a draw. What’s so interesting?” Yi Qingqing didn’t understand.

Were they all crowded here just to watch the clerk draw a lottery? In less than a minute, the ownership of this TV was decided. How could you enjoy watching such a short excitement?

“There are few people buying TVs, but there are many people watching TVs, especially those in units that don’t have TVs yet. They are eagerly looking forward to it! My son works in a textile factory. If he can win the lottery, his family members can also go and watch it!”

The aunt said proudly.

It seemed that everyone who might benefit from this had come to watch the fun.

The family members of an employee were not only old or young people, and how many employees were there in a unit? There were really not many people here.

Yi Qingqing personally felt how rare televisions were in Tieling County.

She felt like it might be difficult to sell her TV safely.

“Look, that’s my son, the purchasing agent of the textile factory. He’s here today to represent the factory. He’s good-looking and capable. Girl, I see your family conditions are pretty good too. Would you like to get to know him?” The auntie said, pointing to a young man with a crew cut who was probably in his twenties.

Yi Qingqing: “…”

She really thanked the aunt. She just wanted to see if the purchasing agent of the textile factory could win the lottery. If not, she would observe this person and see if she could bypass the textile factory and disguise herself to trade the TV with him privately.

Because of the rarity of TVs in Tieling County, it would be too eye-catching to have a TV appear out of nowhere.
