Liu Xiue hung up the phone, quickly stood up from behind the cash register, and casually put her phone into the pocket of her work uniform. She looked up and saw two Comrce Managent Departnt staff mbers, one of whom was the floor manager, coming down the aisle facing the Naughty Castle.
Liu Xiue, feeling a bit guilty, took the initiative to greet them: "Manager Wang!"
Manager Wang smiled as he approached, took a notification slip from the folder, and handed it to Liu Xiue: "Here! The fire departnt just issued a notification for a fire inspection. Tomorrow morning, there’s an early eting in the mall. Send two people from Naughty Castle to learn so fire safety knowledge, and each person pays one hundred yuan for fire safety promotional uniforms. Oh, by the way, soon soone from the mall fire departnt will co to inspect the fire hydrants, so tidy up a bit, I’m worried that the upper managent might co down for a spot check."
Liu Xiue agreed repeatedly.
After Manager Wang finished notifying, he took his staff to the next shop to issue notifications.
Liu Xiue breathed a sigh of relief, thought for a mont, and sent a text ssage to Shi Yang, reporting what the floor manager had just told her.
Shi Yang saw the ssage and didn’t pay much attention to it. The next day, he negotiated prices with two whitewashers, helped hire a vehicle to purchase materials, and sent the workers to the storefront.
Mu Guangping had already successively sent the sumr product style trends and specific fabrics from headquarters. Shi Yang and Zhao Wendada were in the office studying the sumr store layout while Qu Chaozong went to the West District storefront to oversee the workers whitewashing.
After seriously reviewing all the product style diagrams, Zhao Wendada looked up and asked Shi Yang: "Can we renovate the photo area on the second floor before Children’s Day?"
Zhao Wendada detailed his views on the seasonal style trends and fabrics to Shi Yang: "This sumr, headquarters particularly emphasizes bright colors. Pink and yellow are the main colors for girls, and blue and orange for boys. These pure cotton and silk materials are probably to cater to that currently popular nationwide cartoon. We can completely utilize this the style to build a simple backdrop and create a cartoon castle on the second floor for parent-child photo package sales."
With excitent, Zhao Wendada said: "We only need to hire one photographer and two photo editors. As for making albums or keychains, or display stands, just contact a copy shop. They usually have processing places behind them. We submit the photos, and they produce the final product. Except for paying a high salary to the photographer, there aren’t many particularly expensive expenditures. If this project really takes off, the benefits could be substantial."
After listening to Zhao Wendada’s detailed suggestions, Shi Yang silently marveled again at what a rare talent he was.
Shi Yang decided: "You can start organizing this now. Once you have a complete plan and if there are no issues, you can begin execution directly."
Zhao Wendada was overjoyed, without a thought of the company’s current status as essentially starting anew, questioning where there was spare cash to pay for developing and expanding new projects.
Zhao Wendada returned to his office, happily fiddling with the plan.
Shi Yang rubbed his face, nearly worrying himself gray, currently only able to rob Peter to pay Paul. It wouldn’t work; he could only give Third Brother a heads-up, let him take over the installation business, and advance a transfer fee to tide over the imdiate crisis.
Shi Yang, buried in figuring out how to gather money, was in deep thought, quickening his pace to the point of nearly self-combusting when his phone rang. Seeing it was Liu Xiue calling, Shi Yang quickly answered, trying to make his tone sound as pleasant as possible: "Hello, Aunt!"
"Yangyang! Sothing’s wrong; the people from the fire departnt just ca to inspect. They said our Naughty Castle has only one entrance and exit, posing a safety hazard and must stop operations for rectification."
Liu Xiue’s anxious voice transmitted through the phone, leaving Shi Yang montarily stunned, unable to react. He asked again: "Aunt, what did you say? The fire departnt wants us to stop operations for rectification?"
Liu Xiue hurriedly explained the safety inspection situation that happened that afternoon. After listening, Shi Yang’s brows tightened into a knot.
Liu Xiue was very worried: "Weren’t we compliant when the fire departnt inspected last year? Nothing has changed in the past six months, so why is there suddenly a safety hazard today?"
Shi Yang’s face turned serious, but his voice didn’t betray any emotion as he consoled: "It’s okay, Aunt, you don’t need to worry. I was planning to co back these few days. I’ll handle this matter. Since they want a shutdown for rectification, let’s follow the instructions first. It’s perfect timing for everyone to rest up after being busy for months."
Liu Xiue asked worriedly: "Is it really fine?"
Shi Yang answered confidently: "Rest assured, it’s definitely fine. I know the people in the fire departnt. Maybe new instructions have co from higher up. I’ll find out later."
Only then did Liu Xiue relax and say: "Alright then, I’ll arrange for them to take a break. I won’t take a break because the mall is always crowded. I’ll watch out for any kids ssing with the toys."
Shi Yang thought for a mont and said: "No need. Have them take turns, one person per day to watch the place. Otherwise, we pay salaries monthly, and docking pay during the shutdown isn’t humane."
Liu Xiue understood imdiately after hearing this and said: "Alright, I’ll do as you said."
Hanging up the phone, Shi Yang’s face gradually darkened. He slamd his phone on the table with a thud, his fist clenched tightly, knuckles turning white and blue.
Qian Yonggui, that old fox, could shalessly play such a dirty trick behind his back.
Qian Yonggui had been eyeing Shi Yang’s Naughty Castle business, and now he must have heard so rumors planning to block Shi Yang’s transfer road.
Shi Yang’s eyes flared with anger, grinding his teeth hard, and sneered: Let’s see who can take advantage of . Trying to snatch sothing from ? You’ve got a death wish!
That night, Shi Yang didn’t return to the hotel but went directly to Zhao Wendada’s place.
Mrs. Qu had prepared a table of dishes, and several people sat around together.
Shi Yang recounted the incident of Qian Yonggui’s scheming.
Qu Chaozong was furious on the spot: "This is outrageous! It’s practically daylight robbery! If he keeps suppressing us with this fire non-compliance, we can’t even open! That old bastard! Shaless!"
Wang Tianyu didn’t say anything. He habitually first looked at Shi Yang.
Shi Yang calmly pinched his chopsticks, picking up food, showing no sign of panic. It was evident he already had a plan.
Wang Tianyu, initially panicked and confused when he heard the news, slowly settled down, as if with Shi Yang there, nothing was unsolvable.
