Chapter 169 Preparation for opening(1/2)
Sister Liu's clothing branch opened in the morning, and the shoe factory owner's shoe store also opened at the same time. Ye Lingshuang bought four large flower baskets from the flower shop, two for each family, to express her congratulations.
The toy shop and cake shop are still under renovation.
The bookstore transported many bookshelves and arranged them in the store.
Li Jiahao's kimchi restaurant has also customized a batch of shelves, but the goods have not yet arrived. He personally set up a plaque. The name of the store is Jiahao Kimchi Restaurant. In the lower right corner of the plaque, a line of small characters indicates the authentic kimchi of Bangchui.
He designed the plaque style himself and showed Ye Lingshuang the sketch. Ye Lingshuang had no objections and took her to an advertising design studio to beautify it according to his ideas.
When discussing the plaque design, Li Jiahao received a call from the applicant.
They returned to Biyuan Community again, where a beautiful woman was waiting in front of the store.
The interview started right in front of the store. The store was empty. There was nothing, not even a chair. There was not much difference between the inside and outside of the store.
The beauty is Su Tingting. She graduated from college and majored in marketing. She worked as a salesperson for half a year. She saw a pickle restaurant recruiting jobs online, so she came to apply.
Li Jiahao was a little puzzled. The job of a salesperson looked more respectable and more prestigious than that of a kimchi shop waiter.
"Why are you selling kimchi instead of being a salesperson?"
The reason given by Su Tingting was completely beyond Li Jiahao and Ye Lingshuang's expectations.
"I have learned Bangchui language. If I don't use it, I will forget it all after a long time. I just want to put what I have learned into practice, so don't waste it."
Ye Lingshuang was a bit dumbfounded, and she really couldn't praise this reason.
“You don’t need stick language to sell kimchi in China.”
Li Jiahao didn't think so, so he started talking to Su Tingting in Bangchui on the spot. Su Tingting answered fluently, and Li Jiahao was amazed.
Make a decision immediately.
"It's just you, you will be the manager of Jiahao Kimchi Restaurant."
Su Tingting was embarrassed and said with a smile:
"I'm here to apply for a job as a store clerk. I'm afraid I won't be qualified to be a store manager."
Li Jiahao said very domineeringly:
"I have the final say on whether you are qualified or not. A store clerk's monthly salary is 6,000, and a store manager's monthly salary is 10,000. You both work here. Do you want to be a store manager or a store clerk?"
Su Tingting hesitated for a moment, lowered her head and held her chest in her arms, and bowed to Li Jiahao.
"Thank you boss. Since the boss trusts you, I will reluctantly become the store manager."
Li Jiahao struck with both palms.
"That's it."
Then, he introduced Ye Lingshuang to Su Tingting.
"This is Vice President Ye, my partner and your boss. When I am away, I will follow Mr. Ye's arrangements."
Ye Lingshuang drove Li Jiahao and Su Tingting to the furniture store, bought tables, chairs and benches, and then went to the supermarket to buy office supplies, water dispensers, tea sets, towels, soap and other daily necessities, and returned them to the store.
The rest of the work was left to Su Tingting, letting her keep an eye on the plaques and shelves.
After struggling for a long time, it was almost 11:30, and I made an appointment with Coach Zhou to have lunch together.
Ye Lingshuang first helped Jiao Meiyu deal with the beauty customers upstairs to save her from making phone calls at noon, and then took Li Jiahao back to the Ship Hotel.
Coach Zhou came as promised, bringing two bottles of Guojiao 1573 with sincerity. He valued Ye Lingshuang and Li Jiahao, the two gods of wealth, and said he wanted to treat them as soon as he walked in.
Ye Lingshuang said: "Let's not argue. We have already agreed that I will treat you. You bring the wine. Just express your intention."
In order to prevent Coach Zhou from paying the bill after the meal, Ye Lingshuang went to the front desk to pay for the meal in advance while ordering.
The three people chatted happily.
Ye Lingshuang and Li Jiahao helped Zhou Tong earn money. He was full of gratitude and toasted repeatedly. He inevitably drank a few more glasses. Fortunately, the total amount was controlled. With two bottles of wine, no one drank too much.
After eating, send Li Jiahao back to his room to rest.
Coach Zhou didn't go to work until 3 o'clock in the afternoon, so he stayed in Li Jiahao's room, took a nap here, and then went to the fitness club.
Ye Lingshuang took a taxi back to Biyuan Community.
In the afternoon, Ye Lingshuang went to a nearby supermarket and bought some snacks, milk, bread, and ham. She prepared a lot and filled the refrigerator at home, planning to eat it for breakfast. She didn't want to run a few hundred meters to a barbecue restaurant to drink porridge.
Remembering that my car was still in the hotel parking lot, I called Li Jiahao to ask what arrangements he had.
"Store Manager Su and I are walking around the streets to see where there are ready-made ethnic costumes. Let's buy one for Manager Su first."
It turned out that Li Jiahao got up when Coach Zhou returned to the club and contacted Su Tingting. Su Tingting was in the advertising studio staring at making a plaque, so he drove to find her and took Coach Zhou back to the fitness club.
It would take some time to make the plaque, so Li Jiahao took this opportunity to take Su Tingting to various shopping malls to look for ethnic costumes.
Ye Lingshuang had seen the kind of ethnic costumes that Li Jiahao was looking for in Sister Liu's clothing store, so she sent him the location of Sister Liu's clothing store. Then she contacted Sister Liu by phone, and Sister Liu promised to give him the
Discount price.
After hanging up the phone, Ye Lingshuang went to the beauty room to help Jiao Meiyu.
With her help, more than fifty customers soon had their beauties done.
Jiao Meiyu sighed and sat on the sofa as if she was relieved.
"Shuangshuang, thank you so much. Without your help, let alone more than 100 customers, just these fifty or sixty people, I would be too busy for the day. Where am I making money myself, you are helping me."
Make money."
Ye Lingshuang smiled and said: "You're welcome. We are in a cooperative relationship, so it should be. I will try my best to be there if I can."
Jiao Meiyu forced a smile.
"I have an idea. After the Spring Festival, I decided that we will split the profits of the beauty shop in half. You must not refuse. If you refuse, I will feel bad. But it was not possible a year ago, and I still have to save some.
The money will be fine after the New Year."
Jiao Meiyu has always given a relatively cold impression and rarely communicates with outsiders. Even Jiang Liying and Li Shuang, who often help, she rarely speaks.
She repeatedly wanted to expand the scale of the beauty salon, but the amount of money given to Ye Lingshuang was very small. Of course, Ye Lingshuang didn't care about it. People who knew the inside story felt that she was too stingy, not generous, and also...
Loves to take advantage, like the kind of person who doesn't take advantage enough.
Therefore, because her popularity was not very good, Jiang Liying always regarded her as a love rival. After getting along with Pang Yuan, she finally let go of her. She never told anyone about this matter, but she talked about it with Ye Lingshuang often.
Ye Lingshuang heard that there was something in Jiao Meiyu's words. Her attitude showed that she was not the kind of ungrateful person, nor was she taking enough advantage. There might be something unspeakable about her.
"How much money do you need? Just tell me directly. No matter what happens, you have to get through it. Don't be embarrassed to speak. We have been cooperating for so long. You keep everything in your heart. If you are really in trouble, you still want to tell me.
Just treat me as your friend."
Jiao Meiyu smiled and shook her head.
"It's not a big deal, and I don't need much money. It will be enough soon. If you really need help, I will borrow it from you."
Ye Lingshuang was still a little confused.
"Can you tell me what difficulties you encountered? If you don't tell me, I'll be bored."
Jiao Meiyu is still smiling.
"It's not that difficult. It's a secret now. Please allow me to have my own little secret. I will tell you when I need to let you know."
Observing Jiao Meiyu's expression carefully, Ye Lingshuang did not see any sadness or sadness, but a touch of joy. It was just because she was a little tired because she was busy.
So, he nodded and said:
"I believe you. If you have any difficulties, you must tell me. By the way, I just want to take this opportunity to discuss something with you. The beauty shop is currently mainly run by you. You also said just now that after the Spring Festival, you will discuss it with me.
The split is half and half, and I’m not allowed to refuse. In addition to being moved, I should support it.”
Jiao Meiyu nodded repeatedly.
"That's how it should be!"
Ye Lingshuang continued:
"That's not the point. A few days ago, weren't you planning to recruit a few professional beauticians? I think so. We have analyzed the pros and cons. If we want to increase manpower and make more money, we must expand the scale of beauticians.
It would be inappropriate to open the store here again. If there is a suitable place, we can move and expand the store, and everything will be as you wish."
Jiao Meiyu patted her thigh.
"I've thought about it before, but I don't have much money on hand and I don't dare to make it big. With your support, I can rest assured that this will definitely happen."
Seeing that she agreed, Ye Lingshuang asked:
"Since you have already had an idea, why don't you ask Liu Haiwen to support you?"
Jiao Meiyu shook her head.
"He has no money, and his money doesn't belong to him, but to his parents. I don't want to ask him to help for no reason, lest people look down on me in the future."
Jiao Meiyu was a well-off man and had a lot to consider. Ye Lingshuang felt that what she said made sense. Liu Haiwen's family conditions were good, while Jiao Meiyu's family conditions were relatively poor. As the saying goes, this marriage pays attention to well-matched families, and economic conditions determine the superstructure.
The gap between the two families is too great, and family conflicts will easily arise in the future. Jiao Meiyu's worries are not unnecessary, especially before marriage, do not accept funding from the other party easily. This is not hypocrisy, it is wisdom, and it is the same for men and women.
Ye Lingshuang strongly agrees with Jiao Meiyu's point of view. It is more reassuring to cooperate with someone who has this idea.
Hearing the noise downstairs, Ye Lingshuang looked out of the window and saw that Li Jiahao was back and was installing plaques with people from the advertising company.
