35-year-old Jiang Li was unmarried and childless, running her own small company with an annual income of several million, living a wonderful life.
19-year-old Jiang Li was pretty but brainles...
Zhang Guocai is a man of his words.
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, the two changed into formal clothes and went out hand in hand.
Zhang Guocai has always kept his household registration by himself, and so has Lai Erniang.
Both of them have lost their parents, so they don't need anyone's consent to get married.
Zhang Guocai didn't discuss it with anyone and took Lai Erniang directly to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
When the two of them arrived at the door of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Lai Erniang was still a little nervous.
"Are you really getting married?"
"Of course. We've already reached the door. Do you still want to escape?"
Zhang Guocai held Lai Erniang's hand tightly and took her to the front desk.
Zhang Guocai took out the household registration book from Lai Erniang's pocket and said to the staff with some pride.
"We're here to get married."
"I'll fill out the basic information here first, and you guys can take a photo when you have time."
Zhang Guocai held Lai Erniang's hand and took her to take pictures. Seeing that she looked nervous, he told jokes to cheer her up.
After the wedding photos were taken, Lai Erniang was so nervous that she was sweating all over.
While waiting for the photos to be developed, Lai Erniang paced back and forth anxiously.
Zhang Guocai pulled her into his arms and coaxed her in a low voice.
"You were too tired last night. Now close your eyes and rest in my arms for a while."
Lai Erniang glared at him coquettishly and couldn't help but whisper in her ear.
"Is it just last night? Aren't you tired during the day?"
"You're all tired. You've worked so hard, you should take a good rest."
Lai Erniang leaned obediently in Zhang Guocai's arms, and Zhang Guocai patted her back gently.
Lai Erniang didn't want to sleep at first, but she was so tired that she closed her eyes and fell asleep unconsciously.
The photos were developed, but Zhang Guocai couldn't bear to wake up Lai Erniang.
He waited and waited, until the Civil Affairs Bureau was about to close and the photographers could no longer bear it, and then Zhang Guocai took the initiative to speak.
"Master, since you are not busy right now, can you help me get a marriage certificate?"
The photographer hesitated for a moment and finally nodded in agreement.
Zhang Guocai spoke in a very low voice, fearing that he would disturb Lai Erniang's rest.
"I've never seen a couple this old who still have such a good relationship."
The photographer muttered something under his breath and left with a puzzled look on his face.
Zhang Guocai lowered his head and looked at Lai Erniang lovingly, and whispered to the photographer who had already left.
"That means you are too young and have seen too little."
After a while, the photographer brought the completed marriage certificate.
Zhang Guocai wrote backwards with a smile, and the photographer couldn't help but remind him.
"The Civil Affairs Bureau is about to close, you'd better wake up your wife."
"It's okay, isn't it time to get off work?"
Zhang Guocai glanced at the watch his niece gave him. There was clearly still half an hour left, so his wife could still have a good rest.
The photographer originally wanted to chase the people away, but he was outmaneuvered and could only pack up his things in a depressed mood.
At half past five, Lai Erniang opened her eyes and slowly woke up.
"Are you awake? The Civil Affairs Bureau is about to close."
Zhang Guocai teased her deliberately, and Lai Erniang was so frightened that she shuddered all over and sat up from his arms in an instant.
"What about our marriage certificate?"
"Who told you to be so sleepy? You can only do it tomorrow."
Lai Erniang looked a little frustrated, but there was nothing she could do.
"Getting the marriage certificate is such an important matter, why didn't you wake me up earlier?"
"Aren't you afraid of disturbing your sleep?"
"It's not a big deal if I sleep!"
"So you mean getting married is a big deal?"
"Of course!"
The two started arguing, and Zhang Guocai suddenly took out two marriage certificates from his pocket.
"Look at what this is."
Lai Erniang's eyes suddenly lit up. She happily held Zhang Guocai's face and kissed him hard on the cheek.
"Guocai, you are really capable!"
"I can do more than that. You'll find out tonight."
Zhang Guocai winked at her. How could Lai Erniang not understand what he was saying? Her face turned red again.
Zhang Guocai took Lai Erniang home hand in hand. The two of them leaned against each other sweetly, with bright smiles on their faces.
More than a month later, Lai Erniang felt nauseous and vomited. Zhang Guocai hurriedly took her to the hospital for examination and found that she was pregnant.
Zhang Guocai excitedly hugged Lai Erniang in his arms, wishing he could pick her up and spin her around a few times.
Good things happened one after another, and Jiang Lijian’s boutique street next to the department store was also renovated and opened.
This boutique street has a great location, is well decorated, and has reasonable rent.
As soon as it was built, it attracted a large number of shops to move in.
Jiang Li reserved two shops at the entrance on the first floor for Zhang Guocai, and her own pastry shop was on the other side. In order to expand the business, Jiang Li reserved 5 shops for herself.
These five stores were converted into shared spaces during the renovation, making them appear particularly spacious and bright.
With the help of Lai Erniang, Zhang Guocai made many exquisite and unique handicrafts during this period.
In the past, these things were not high-end and could not be sold at high prices.
Now, if it is placed in the best store in the best location in the provincial capital, its grade and status will immediately improve.
Jiang Li personally helped them decorate the two stores, and they were decorated in an antique style.
It is interspersed with bright red Chinese knots and various red silks, making it look even more simple and elegant.
Jiang Li originally wanted to hire a shop assistant for his uncle, and Lai Er Niang volunteered.
She personally watched everything Zhang Guocai made.
It can be said that apart from Zhang Guocai, she knows the most about these things.
Now she took the initiative to ask to be a salesperson, and Jiang Li had no reason to refuse.
The new store was packed on the first day of its opening.
Lai Erniang used her eloquence to raise the quality of the items in the store by several levels.
In order to make the items in the store popular, Jiang Li deliberately used the hunger marketing method.
There aren't many things in the store, and the same thing won't be placed twice.
This has indeed greatly stimulated people's desire to buy.
It can be said that out of 10 people who came in, at least 6 bought something and took it back.
For a newly opened and unknown small shop, this ratio is already very scary.
Lai Erniang was busy making introductions and counting money all day.
She had never seen so much money in her life, and she was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.
Business is very busy and tiring, but the couple feels so happy when they go home and count their money at night.
Zhang Guocai was so happy that he couldn't help but ask for it two more times that night.
Since opening this small shop, Zhang Guocai has been so busy every day that he can hardly keep up with the demand.
This is still a hunger marketing campaign that I did according to my niece's instructions.
If he continued to sell as openly as before, he would be too busy to handle it even if he didn't take a day off.
Zhang Guocai's handicrafts gradually became famous, and the business of the store was getting better and better.
The couple proved that when they are united, they can accomplish anything!
