Looking at the sales figures, Sheng Yueqing couldn't help but smile.

"Mom, this month's sales are pretty good. I believe we should be able to recoup the renovation costs next year."

They spent a lot of money opening these supermarkets, and they might not be able to make it back in the first few years, but at least they won't go into debt.

If you persist for a few more years, you'll break even.

When the world becomes more prosperous in the future, supermarkets will only make a profit and never lose money.

Mrs. Sheng looked at the account book and was quite satisfied.

"We did spend quite a bit this year, but I believe we'll gradually earn it back later."

Sheng Yueqing is confident.

After all, she frequently went to supermarkets in her later life and knew that supermarkets were staffed 365 days a year.

Moreover, they opened their shops early and accumulated customers early, so they will gradually recoup their investment in the future.

However, opening a supermarket has its advantages and disadvantages, and security cameras are not yet common.

Some petty thieves will steal goods when selling items.

Fortunately, the store managers are all sharp-eyed; as soon as they see a customer stealing something, they will smile and settle the bill for them.

He wouldn't embarrass the thief; he would simply ask him how much money he owed.

The thief knew the price was wrong and guessed that the other party probably knew he was stealing.

But he didn't dare not pay, for fear of being arrested and going to jail.

Sheng Yueqing had witnessed this several times, and the store manager had always resolved the issues smoothly.

Therefore, there is a lot of knowledge involved in recruiting people.

When they were hiring a store manager, Mrs. Sheng mentioned that she wanted someone who was cunning and shrewd.

After all, you'll encounter all sorts of people when you open a shop, and if you're not quick-witted, you won't be able to command respect.

But I'm also afraid that someone too cunning might try to cheat or take advantage of me.

Therefore, they considered many people when recruiting.

In the end, only a few clever but not malicious store managers remained.

Furthermore, the contract stated that if any items were lost from the store, the store manager would be liable for compensation.

Employees also bear responsibility.

So everyone put in a lot of effort.

Of course, if the items are not lost and sales increase, the bonuses and prizes will only increase.

Everyone looks at performance; if you do well, you get extra money each month and also receive a lot of useful gifts.

Red envelopes are given during Chinese New Year and other holidays.

Although the store rules are a bit strict, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, so everyone still wants to stay in the store.

I'm afraid that if I get fired, I won't be able to find such a good job again.

During the Chinese New Year, the supermarket's sales increased significantly.

The factory's orders are only increasing.

The Lunar New Year is approaching, and it's time to start preparing for it.

Sheng Yueqing also launched a promotional campaign, offering gifts with every purchase.

There's also a promotion where you get a big gift pack for recharging.

Many people were immediately tempted when they saw that spending 200 yuan would get them a bottle of oil, a bag of rice, and a gift pack of cookies.

Other companies might only offer the mini version.

But Sheng Yueqing always sent gifts for large families.

She doesn't like superficial things; if she's going to give a gift, she'll give a large one.

Furthermore, customers who spend over 100 yuan can enter a prize draw.

All the prizes are practical. Even if you win the "Thank You for Your Support" prize, you'll still get a big bag of cookies, a two-kilogram bag.

Even if you didn't win, everyone still received a gift.

After finishing her work at the factory, Sheng Yueqing came to help out at the supermarket.

Then we went to check out a few more cake shops.

When the whole country is on holiday for the Chinese New Year.

She took her salary and had all the store managers and employees gather at the factory.

Each store manager and employee received a red envelope and a New Year's gift.

Everyone carried their bags full of daily necessities like firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and tea.

There are even fruits and snacks, as well as cigarettes and alcohol, which can be taken home as gifts for the elderly.

All the employees had smiles on their faces.

When they used to work, they didn't have these things during the Lunar New Year; at most, they would get a few oranges.

I never expected to have so many benefits working with Boss Sheng.

They were absolutely overjoyed; their faces were beaming with smiles.

"Thank you, Boss Sheng!"

Sheng Yueqing smiled warmly, "Our family is a legitimate manufacturer, and I am a legitimate business owner. As long as you do a good job, the rewards you deserve will only be more than you expect."

"Go back and have a good New Year holiday this time, get some rest, and let's work hard together again next year."

All the employees smiled and said, "Yes."

Everyone left happily.

Sheng Yueqing also went to pack her things.

I have to go back to Kyoto this year to visit my parents.

He Yushen has also finished explaining things.

Mrs. Sheng packed her things, and the three of them set off together.

After arriving in Kyoto.

Only then did I realize that neither Mr. Sheng nor Sheng Jingheng had returned.

Mrs. Sheng sent someone to inquire, but no news came back.

This is very wrong.

Mrs. Sheng felt a little uneasy.

"I hope nothing bad has happened."

Mr. Sheng had previously gone south to investigate those matters and seemed to have made some progress, but he hadn't told his family.

He hasn't returned yet, and even Sheng Jingheng can't be contacted, making Mrs. Sheng uneasy.

The elderly couple didn't know what had happened and assumed their son was busy, so they told the children to eat first.

Sheng Yueqing and He Yushen exchanged a glance, both feeling that something was amiss.

After dinner, the whole family chatted with the elderly couple for a while and watched some TV.

Then the Sheng family's relatives arrived.

When they saw Sheng Yueqing come again, they guessed that this child was probably really Mrs. Sheng's biological daughter.

He then came over to exchange pleasantries, "Happy New Year, Sheng girl."

Sheng Yueqing also greeted them with a smile.

Uncle Sheng's wife looked worried and hesitated to speak after glancing at Old Madam Sheng.

Mrs. Sheng sensed that she had something to do, so she pulled her into her room.

"What happened?"

Shengda's wife glanced outside the door to make sure no one was there before whispering, "Second sister-in-law, haven't Second Brother and Jingheng returned yet?"

Mrs. Sheng frowned. "Yes, what's wrong?"
