Chapter 554: The Store is About to Open
“It’s about to open!”
Soone in the crowd shouted.
Soone looked at the ti and said, “The store will open at 8:08 am. There are still eight minutes left.”
“Yeah, I’m just curious about this supermarket that specializes in selling vegetables. What kind of vegetables are sold at such a high price?”
“It’s extrely expensive. I’m curious to take a look.”
...
Xiao Lingyu left the matters of the shop to Zeng Yaozu, so she did not get involved. However, the opening of the shop was a big event for business people, so she had to attend.
Not only her but almost the entire Xiao family also ca to the supermarket to take a look. Even Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao ca.
“Yu ‘Er, isn’t this supermarket a bit too big?” Grandma Xiao looked around and said.
Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, “In the future, we’ll have more stock to sell. We might as well start big instead of wasting money on expansions.”
Grandpa Xiao frowned slightly and asked, “Do we have so many things to sell? Will our supermarket beco like the other departnt stores?”
Xiao Lingyu shook her head and said, “No. We will only sell things from Taoyuan Village. Grandpa and Grandma, don’t worry. If the business becos hard, we’ll change the business model to sothing else.”
“Today is the grand opening. Why are you talking about things like that?” Grandma Xiao imdiately corrected.
The Xiao Family was on the third floor. Since the fruits from Taoyuan Village hadn’t matured, so this floor was currently empty. After the fruit trees on the mountain bore fruits, this floor would be filled up.
Grandpa Xiao lowered his head to look at the crowd below and said with so optimism, “There are so many people waiting downstairs, so our business must be very good.”
Grandma Xiao still looked worried and said, “Yes, but our vegetables are too expensive. They won’t be scared away, right?”
“Old Woman, what nonsense are you talking about?” Grandpa Xiao said disapprovingly, “We have written the price on the flyer. If they really think it’s expensive, then they won’t co here so early to wait.”
Grandma Xiao imdiately agreed. “Yes, yes, you’re right. Yu ‘Er, I was wrong.”
Xiao Lingyu shook her head and said with a smile, “Grandpa and Grandma, you should stay here and take a rest. I’ll go down and have a look.”
“Go, go!” The two of them waved.
Eldest Uncle Xiao and his wife, Father Xiao, Xiao Lingyun, the two babies, and third uncle and fourth uncle all ca.
Even Mother Xiao was here with the baby. After all, Xiao Lingyu might be busy at the supermarket for the whole day, and she might not have the ti to go ho to feed Xiao Tong.
Xiao Lingyu went down to the second floor. She saw Mother Xiao holding Xiao Tong and showing him around. “Look, Tong ‘Er, what is this red thing? It’s a tomato! And this is a cucumber...”
As for Eldest Uncle Xiao and others, they were checking the stations on the first and second floors.
Xiao Lingyu looked around but didn’t see the two children. She asked in confusion, “Mom, where are Lulu and Rourou?”
Mother Xiao looked around and said, “Huh? They were just here just now.”
Xiao Lingyu said, “The door is about to open. There will be many people. I’ll go look for them.”
At this mont, Zhou Xiaolu heard her and said to Xiao Lingyu, “Boss, I saw two children with their mother on the first floor.”
Xiao Lingyu nodded and said, “Okay, I’ll go and take a look. Thank you!”
Li Xiaoi, who was standing at her station, saw how friendly Zhou Xiaolu was with their boss. She was so angry that she secretly gritted her teeth. ‘Hmph, this Zhou Xiaolu is really a bootlicker.’
In reality, Li Xiaoi was also secretly angry at herself for being blind and treating her real boss as a secretary, so she didn’t show much affection to her that day.
Who would have thought that such a beautiful woman would actually be the boss? She must have slept her way to this position. Of course, Li Xiaoi kept these dark thoughts in her heart.
However, although she was envious and jealous of this female boss, she didn’t dare to complain in front of the boss. She could only focus on her work.
Xiao Lingyu turned to Mother Xiao, “Mom, the door is going to open soon. There will be a big crowd. Why don’t you bring Xiao Tong to rest in the office?”
Mother Xiao shook her head and replied, “We’ll look around first.” She glanced at the curious Xiao Tong and said, “Xiao Tong hasn’t seen a large crowd before. I’ll bring him around to take a look. It’ll be fine with carrying him. If the crowd becos too heavy, I’ll bring him to the office.”
Xiao Lingyu nodded and said, “Okay, then I’ll go down to look for the two children.”
When Xiao Lingyu went down to the first floor, she saw the two children squatting in a corner. Not far away, Xiao Lingyun was holding a notebook as if she was calculating sothing.
Xiao Lingyu walked to the two children.
“Auntie!” The two children shouted excitedly, then asked, “When will the door open? I saw a lot of people downstairs from the third floor just now.”
They had never been to City Z before. When they saw the high-rise buildings in City Z and the large shops, they were so excited.
These two girls were only five or six years old. When they saw beautiful things on the street, they wanted to buy them.
Xiao Lingyu patted their little heads and said with a smile, “The door will open in a few minutes. Go upstairs first and sit with your second grandma in the office, okay?”
The two children were unhappy when they heard that.
Lulu asked, “Aunty, why do we have to sit in the office? My sister and I like big crowds. We want to stay here.”
Xiao Lingyu said firmly, “No, it will be crowded later. If you are not careful, you might be injured.
“Besides, there might be bad people. When they see how cute you are, they will want to kidnap you. Your mother and grandma will cry to death.”
Rourou asked suspiciously, “Auntie, will there really be bad people?”
Xiao Lingyu nodded, “Of course, that’s not certain. But the adults will be too busy to be looking after you. If you’re not careful, you might be targeted by the bad guys.
“If that happens, you’ll never get the chance to see your mom and grandma again. Do you want that?”
The two children’s expressions changed. They shook their heads and said, “Of course, we don’t want that.”
“Yes. Therefore, you have to be obedient.” Xiao Lingyu said, “The adults will be very busy. So you should wait for us in a safe place.
“Don’t worry. When we’re done with our work, we’ll definitely co to look for you. Besides, your little brother is here too. He’s at the office, so you can play with him.”
“Okay. Auntie, we’ll go to the office now.”
With that, the two children held hands and went to the office.
At this ti, Zeng Yaozu ca down with Zhou Xiaolu and a group of employees.
They quickly lined up on both sides.
They hired a total of 30 employees on a two-shift system, but the manpower was still slightly lacking. However, this was the only way.
Xiao Lingyu walked between the two lines and asked with a sharp gaze, “Is everyone ready?”
“Yes!” They replied in unison.
“What is the service rule of our supermarket?” Xiao Lingyu asked in a cold and clear voice.
“Custor first and service with a smile!” There was a loud shout.
Xiao Lingyu nodded in satisfaction and said, “Very good!”
After saying that, she raised her wrist and looked at the ti with a serious expression.
“Open the door!” Xiao Lingyu shouted.
Zeng Yaozu, who was standing guard at the side, imdiately opened the door.
...
Yan Siming saw the flower baskets that secretary Wang had ordered. They were all flowers that symbolized the prosperity of the business.
Yan Siming looked at the ti, then stood up and said, “Her shop is about to open. Bring the flower baskets, and let’s go!”
Secretary Wang and the other two subordinates each carried two flower baskets and followed behind Yan Siming.
The other two secretaries asked in puzzlent, “Secretary Wang, where are we going?”
Secretary Wang said very seriously, “Just follow. Don’t talk so much nonsense! Rember, say less and do more.”
The two secretaries imdiately lowered their heads and replied very seriously, “We understand, Secretary Wang!”
