The Dream Fulfillment Master in the Courtyard

Back in the security section, Shen Zhiyu asked Fan Zhijun for leave.

The case has been solved, and the affairs of Pigeon City are no longer his concern. He happens to have nothing to do, so he'll take a day off to go and chat with Ye Yingying and see what kind of gift would be suitable.

When buying a gift, you should always choose something that the recipient likes.

You can't exactly bring your father-in-law soft drinks if he likes to drink!

"Section Chief, I'm riding my bicycle now!"

Not only did Shen Zhiyu take leave, she also borrowed Fan Zhijun's bicycle.

As for sidecar motorcycles?

He was still very mindful of the impact when using official vehicles.

Okay, actually it's mainly because the wind was too strong, it slapped my face and hurt, and the cold wind was penetrating through my clothes.

Riding a bicycle is slightly better.

Head straight to the exhibition hall.

Shen Zhiyu found Ye Yingying.

Her job is quite relaxed.

"My dad likes to drink, but my mom doesn't let him drink too much, so sending some tea will be fine!"

"My mom? You can send her anything, pastries or something!"

"As for my brother and the others,..."

"etc!"

When Shen Zhiyu heard Ye Yingying mention her brothers, she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. Judging from what Ye Yingying said, she had quite a few brothers-in-law.

If I really succeed in Ye Yingying's relationship, and then do something, I'm afraid I'll get beaten up by a bunch of brothers-in-law!

"What's wrong?"

Ye Yingying was interrupted by Shen Zhiyu and looked at him in surprise, "Is there a problem?"

"No, I just want to know how many brothers-in-law I have!"

Upon hearing Shen Zhiyu's words, Ye Yingying blushed, clearly embarrassed by Shen Zhiyu's way of addressing her.

They're not even married yet, so how can he call his brother-in-law?

But it doesn't seem like it's impossible!

"I have four older brothers!"

"My eldest and second eldest brothers are in the military, my third brother works in a military factory, and my fourth brother works in the municipal government..."

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhiyu had only one feeling: she needed to be more careful in the days to come.

However, he did not back down.

An old saying goes, "To die beneath a peony is to die a romantic death."

He figured he probably wouldn't die, after all, he hadn't encountered any demons.

After Ye Yingying finished explaining the situation of her four brothers-in-law, Shen Zhiyu roughly knew what she needed to prepare.

"I'll go with you!"

After Shen Zhiyu finished gathering information and was about to buy a gift, Ye Yingying suddenly spoke up, then ran to ask for leave and left the exhibition hall with Shen Zhiyu.

Destination: Wangfujing Department Store.

This was the first large-scale department store built in Beijing after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and it was known as the "First Store of New China".

After the two arrived, Shen Zhiyu looked at the scene before her and felt a sense of unreality.

There were quite a few cars parked in front of the department store.

There are even more people coming and going!

The scene before her eyes felt strangely disconnected from the steel mill area where Shen Zhiyu lived.

It's unclear whether these cars belong to private individuals.

I imagine that a large portion of them are not!

However, this is not something Shen Zhiyu can control.

Let's go!

Shen Zhiyu naturally took Ye Yingying's hand. There were too many people around, and if they didn't hold hands, they might get separated, which would be bad.

Ye Yingying only struggled symbolically for a moment before letting Shen Zhiyu lead her into the department store.

There are so many people!

After all, it's almost Chinese New Year!

Shen Zhiyu led the way, carving a bloody path through the crowd, and led Ye Yingying closer to the counter.

Suddenly, a gasp came from the side, and a figure fell towards the two of them.

Shen Zhiyu reacted quickly enough, protecting Ye Yingying while pulling up the figure that was about to fall with one hand.

There are too many people. If someone falls, it could easily lead to a stampede!

After pulling the person back, Shen Zhiyu saw their face clearly and then froze.

Lou Xiao'e!

The person who almost fell just now was actually Lou Xiao'e!

"Thanks!"

Lou Xiao'e saw Shen Zhiyu and her eyes glazed over for a moment. After regaining her senses, she quickly thanked her.

"You're welcome!"

Shen Zhiyu calmly replied, then added, "There are too many people, it's very crowded, be careful!"

Ye Yingying tugged at Shen Zhiyu's hand and said loudly, "Shen Zhiyu, there are too many people. Why don't we go somewhere else?"

Although they were standing in front of the counter, they could only look at the area in front of them, which made it very inconvenient to buy anything.

"Alright!"

There are definitely too many people!

Shen Zhiyu didn't know what the person in charge here was thinking. If so many people were not controlled, and a stampede occurred, then the festive New Year would be ruined.

Shen Zhiyu then looked at Lou Xiao'e and said, "We're going out, do you want to come along?"

"Yes, yes!"

Lou Xiao'e nodded vigorously.

She hadn't expected so many people to suddenly appear.

At this moment, Lou Xiao'e was still a young girl with a bright smile, completely different from how she later became after marrying into the courtyard house. Her clothes and appearance were also quite fashionable and elegant.

Shen Zhiyu was very curious about how Lou Bancheng and his wife could let her come shopping alone.

"Excuse me, please make way!"

Shen Zhiyu continued to lead the way, speaking as she forcefully pushed aside those blocking her path.

More than ten minutes later, the three of them finally managed to squeeze out of the crowd.

"Wait here for a moment, I'll go talk to them over there!"

Shen Zhiyu gave Ye Yingying and Lou Xiao'e some instructions, then quickly walked towards the security guards standing guard outside the department store.

"There are too many people inside!"

"If this isn't controlled, it could cause a stampede and kill people. I suggest you immediately report this to the department store management and take action as soon as possible!"

During the joyous Lunar New Year, we shouldn't have any accidents.

After Shen Zhiyu showed her identification, the security guard finally decided to report it.

A few minutes later, a department store manager rushed over.

He was initially delighted by the large number of customers in the store, but he was startled when he saw how crowded it was.

"Comrade, there are just too many people! How are we going to evacuate them?"

"It's simple. Have the security guards start by asking people to leave from the outside and line up outside!"

Shen Zhiyu calmly stated, "Also, from now on, no one is allowed to enter!"

With this much foot traffic, people who have bought their things can't get out; it's ridiculous!

The department store manager quickly understood what Shen Zhiyu meant.

Customers were constantly being asked to leave the department store.

"My child, my child, my child is missing!"

"My wallet! My wallet is gone!"

……

When people were finally able to move freely inside the department store, all sorts of problems suddenly emerged.

Another child went missing, another wallet was lost.

Fortunately, the child was just separated from his parents.

As for wallets?

There's nothing we can do about it!

Once the number of customers in the department store was finally brought under control, Shen Zhiyu and Ye Yingying took Lou Xiao'e to the state-run restaurant next door.

Shen Zhiyu, who hadn't eaten breakfast, was finally hungry!
