Only the four universities in Makino City are still operating normally.

At this rate, the other universities may also need some time before they can start working.

After walking through the university town, Lin Yifeng drove to another place.

It is also an equally important location in the university town, and the commercial street started construction at almost the same time as the university town.

As this area is to become the future consumption center of the university town, Lin Yifeng specially built a commercial plaza here. Unlike the land in the university town, the land here belongs to Lin Yifeng.

As a major consumer area in the university town, Lin Yifeng specifically hired a construction company to build a three-story luxury shopping mall in the center of the commercial street.

Once this area develops and all the university campuses move in, Lin Yifeng plans to open another Pang Donglai restaurant here to ensure a regular income.

In addition to the soon-to-open Pang Donglai building, there are two rows of two-story commercial shops around it, forming a network that extends to a crossroads.

This is also currently the only pedestrian street in the Pingyuan New Area.

Lin Yifeng walked on the paved brick ground, looking at the empty yet calm streets around him, and the image of this place becoming prosperous in the future was already appearing in his mind.

This can be seen as him specifically leaving a way out for the Pingyuan New Area.

Once all the universities have moved here and several residential areas for family members on the other side are completed, many talented people will move here.

Moreover, Yan Bingshan also informed him.

Once everything here is completed, a new bus station and train station will be built here to ensure that Pingyuan New District becomes a transit point between Muye and Shangdu.

In time, the Pingyuan New Area might become an independent development zone.

Lin Yifeng scouted the site in advance for better future development, but that should be two years from now. For now, all that's needed is to repair and maintain it.

We can find some businesses to help maintain the basic business here. When the economic center shifts in the future, we won't have to worry about this place not developing.

"College town."

"I should be going to university next year too."

Lin Yifeng smiled, turned around, got into his car, and drove away.

Things are progressing steadily in the university town area. All that's left is to wait until next spring to complete all the remaining tasks.

During these two days of rest, Sun Lixin from Kyoto also brought goods to Shangdu.

As a New Year's treat this year, these preserved meats immediately became a hot commodity as soon as they hit the shelves, attracting a frenzy of buying from both Pang Donglai in Shangdu and Benjia in Makino City.

Both of these shops sell out of cured meat almost every day.

As a result, Liu Wei had to prioritize sending the stock from Bianyifang to Lin Yifeng in Kyoto.

Pangdonglai Underground Supermarket in Shangdu.

As it was the last month of 1993, Lin Yifeng also started preparing for the New Year's shopping activities ahead of time.

The entire underground supermarket was packed with people, and the employees of Pang Donglai Supermarket were all extremely busy.

Lin Yifeng looked around the supermarket with his hands behind his back, a smile gradually spreading across his face.

Donglai was also explaining to Lin Yifeng from the side.

"Brother Feng, we've stocked up a bit less this year."

"I feel that we need to increase our stock of goods for this Spring Festival."

"It's just that this year's bills are hard to calculate."

Donglai let out a long, helpless sigh.

The end of each year is the most painful time for them.

Almost every night at Pang Donglai, the accountant would lead seven or eight people to calculate the day's bills and carefully check them against the warehouse.

Lin Yifeng frowned slightly as he looked at Donglai's troubled expression.

It has to be said that for large companies, the end of the year is definitely the busiest time of the year.

Not to mention someone like Donglai who has to manage two stores; in addition to settling the new store in the shopping mall, he can't neglect the old store either.

For example, the inflow and outflow of goods in the warehouse, and the flow of funds in the accounts of the finance department, all require a lot of time to calculate.

Not to mention the immense popularity of Lin Yifeng and his Pang Donglai, the calculation time for which is probably several times that of other companies.

Just as the two were chatting, a manager in the supermarket walked up to Donglai with a bill in his hand.

"Brother Dong, the warehouse here isn't shipping anything out."

"They asked me to come and check with you."

Donglai frowned deeply.

"Why aren't you shipping the goods?"

Donglai gave a perfunctory reply, but his eyes were actually still glancing at Lin Yifeng.

This kind of thing happens often in supermarkets, but Donglai didn't want it to happen when Lin Yifeng came.

This could easily make him appear incompetent.

After all, Lin Yifeng offered him such a high salary, and Donglai was still a little worried about whether he deserved such a high salary.

"How can you not ship the goods?"

"I'll go take a look."

"Brother Feng, go for a walk, I'll be right back."

After saying that, Donglai grabbed the manager and headed straight for the warehouse.

Lin Yifeng strolled around for a while, bought a bottle of Coke at the supermarket, and then went back upstairs to his office to read the newspaper for a while.

After an unknown amount of time, a series of muffled footsteps echoed down the corridor.

Donglai's voice could be heard faintly in the corridor, as many of his employees were approaching him to discuss matters.

This continued for more than ten minutes before Donglai finally finished walking the distance from the corridor to Lin Yifeng's office.

Pushing open the office door, Donglai was holding a file folder in his arms and various bills in his hands.

Pang Donglai was responsible for handling all matters, from purchasing goods and making payments to all sorts of things within the mall, including settling accounts with the mall at the end of the month.
