Chapter 438 - 431: Attitude
Qiu Zi looked at the time; it was already close to midnight, 11 PM.
"Sister Lan, it’s about time to clock out."
Sister Lan glanced at the time, "Mm, let’s close up."
Qiu Zi obediently started to lower the window shutters.
While tidying up the floor, Sister Lan remarked, "You know, other pharmacies close by eight or nine, but we have to stay open so late."
Qiu Zi lowered the shutters on the last window and said, "Well, what can you do? Nightlife only starts at eight or nine; running a place here, it’s actually good to finish at 11 PM. Before long, we might even switch to being open 24 hours."
Sister Lan shot Qiu Zi a glance, "Just shut your mouth. I’m getting tired of this job already. If it weren’t for the paycheck, I wouldn’t suffer here, being scared every day of some thug bullying us."
Sister Lan continued, watching Qiu Zi’s fair face, "Honestly, you’re good-looking enough, why get stuck in a place like this?"
Qiu Zi looked up, "What else should I do? Go inside and do *****"
Sister Lan rolled her eyes, "You could find a better job, like at a five-star hotel or a car dealership. Aren’t they all better than here?"
Qiu Zi chuckled, settling at the cashier to prepare the accounts, "Sister Lan, there’s a saying that effort and reward are always proportional; I don’t want to put in extra effort, hence naturally no high reward."
Sister Lan pouted but stayed silent.
Qiu Zi finished calculating the day’s accounts and was about to shut down the computer when the pharmacy’s door suddenly burst open from the outside.
Bang, the noise was loud, startling both Qiu Zi and Sister Lan.
A man, supporting another man covered in blood, walked inside.
Qiu Zi looked at the injured man, with his distinctive granny gray hair—wasn’t he the renowned Brother Shen?
Was he hurt?
"Quick, pull down your shutter!" Leizi shouted at Qiu Zi and Sister Lan with reddened eyes.
Sister Lan was already petrified by the sight of Yin Tianshen, who looked like a blood-soaked gourd; despite the black jacket, blood had drenched through his clothes.
"Didn’t you hear! Quickly close the shutters!" Leizi screamed with desperation.
Qiu Zi gazed at Yin Tianshen, despite his severe injuries, his expression remained calm. What kind of man was this, bleeding so much yet not frowning even slightly?
Qiu Zi calmly picked up the remote key and lowered the outdoor shutter.
"Quickly find something to staunch Brother Shen’s bleeding, hurry!" Leizi yelled at Sister Lan, who stood dazed.
Most pharmacy clerks have some basic knowledge about care and pharmacology, making it convenient for them to market medicines.
Sister Lan was left trembling from Leizi’s shout, "Okay... okay..."
Walking to the shelf, Sister Lan stood blankly, her mind a void, unsure of what to pick.
"I’m telling you, hurry the hell up! If anything happens to my Brother Shen, I’ll kill you!"
Sister Lan was so frightened by Leizi’s hysteria that she completely broke down, squatting and crying.
"What are you doing?" Qiu Zi, who had been silently standing at the cashier, spoke indifferently, her voice calm and unhurried, "Is this how you ask for help?"
Leizi’s brow furrowed, "What did you say?"
"You need to understand that you are asking us for help right now, so show some respect. Otherwise, get out; believe me, I can open the shutter right now!"
"You!" Leizi, eyes red with anger, wanted to step forward but was stopped by the weak Yin Tianshen.
Yin Tianshen looked up at Qiu Zi’s calm face and spoke softly, "Could you please lend us a hand?"
