"Le Le, tomorrow is Valentine's Day, and all stores are preparing to hold events on that day. By the way, we haven't received any share during this period, and it's all been kept in the cash box. Salaries and benefits are also paid out normally. Every penny from Jiang Liang's side is taken out of the cash box. Jiaojiao and I have verified it. The second house has been built, and the third is under construction. Yu Jie and Sun Qing are planning to get married on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. I'd like to ask you to preside over the wedding." Xu Hu talked to Su Le incessantly.

Su Le looked at Yu Jie in disbelief, "Are you getting married?"

Yu Jie lowered his head and nodded. "Yes, Xiaoqing said we got together because of this store, and mainly because of Sister Le, so we wanted to ask Sister Le to host the wedding for us, and her family also agreed. I thought we would use the new house as the wedding house. Xiaoqing has also been transferred there. Her parents are still working here for the time being, and their family didn't ask for a dowry. I discussed with Xiaoqing about buying her parents a house after the wedding."

Su Le nodded in agreement. "Sun Qing's family is quite open-minded. You should treat Sun Qing well. She is a good girl."

Yu Jie's eyes became firm, "Yes, I will."

Su Fugui interrupted them. "Okay, okay, let's eat. We'll talk about these things in the study later."

Everyone started eating.

Su Le ate less and took care of Sun Nuoyi while she ate. The little girl was already one year old and was very cute, with a chubby face and a baby face. It made people want to kiss her.

"Guoguo." Su Nuoyi called sweetly to Su Le.

Su Le smiled and touched her face, "It's Auntie."

"Pot." Sunoy shouted again.

Su Le picked her up. Chen Yao quickly finished eating and took her from Su Le's arms. "You just woke up. Take a few days to recover. Don't exhaust yourself."

Su Le smiled helplessly, "Mom, I'm fine now."

Xu Jiaojiao also came forward, "Le Le, don't be so stubborn. You've been in a coma for three days and your body is still weak. Let's finish the meeting as soon as possible and rest early."

Su Le couldn't refuse his family's kindness and nodded, "Okay." Xu Jiaojiao helped Su Le into the study. Xu Hu also ate quickly and followed behind. Jiang Liang also hurried over.

Su Le opened the cash box, "Huh? Where's the money? Is that all?" He looked at the three people.

Xu Hu pointed to the large box next to him and said, "It's in there."

Su Le looked at the box next to him that was twice as big. He opened it and saw it was stuffed to the brim. Xu Hu pointed to the one on the right and said, "That's the share from the chain store. They're all in a box for you. It's yours."

Su Le nodded and opened it to take a look. There was at least 100,000 yuan. It was indeed a lot in a year.

Su Le took out the large box next to him and said, "How about this, each of us takes 10,000 first, and puts the rest in here. Xingfu Community is still under construction and the cost is huge. Jiang Liang, you write a budget first, and the four of us sign it, and then you take it."

Jiang Liang nodded, "Okay, after the construction is completed, we will redistribute the shares according to equity."

Su Le nodded and gave each person 10,000. He then looked at the employee information. "The store here won't be renovated. Taking advantage of the mall's location, bring a group of people over. Ideally, it'll be a mix of veteran and new employees, with the store managers selecting team leaders. I'm opening new stores: a blind box store, a bookstore, and a stationery store, all at the same time. Each store will need about five employees. Tomorrow's activities at each store will be based on your own ideas, with a focus on couples! Jiaojiao, do you have any comments?"

Xu Hu asked, "Opening three at the same time? Isn't that a bit stressful? Are there enough supplies?"

Jiaojiao also asked, "Are you planning to live there?"

Jiang Liang didn't say anything. He was currently working in construction, specializing in that.

Su Le smiled and nodded, "I've already prepared it. I haven't been away all this time. Opening a bookstore and stationery store over there is much better than here. We have a lot of children, and we can buy the books and stationery we need from the mall. It will be convenient for us in the future."

Xu Hu nodded and said, "Okay, I'll ask when we get back to the dormitory. We've brought quite a few people to live in the courtyard next door and another quadrangle. The courtyard over there isn't big enough for them."

Su Le was no longer calm. "That place can accommodate fifty-six people. Isn't that enough?"

Xu Hu nodded helplessly. "Yes, it's not enough. Those branches have sent people here. I also want to say that those who work in the T area here will be more tired than others. They have to walk there. They have to get up an hour earlier and leave work later."

Su Le frowned, tapping his fingers on the table, thinking, "Building 2 hasn't been sold yet, right?"

Jiang Liang smiled bitterly, "None of the houses were sold when you were not here."

Su Le didn't expect that all the houses hadn't been sold yet, so he comforted Jiang Liang, "Don't worry, everything is difficult at the beginning. Let's put it this way, aren't we living in Building 2 now? The two upper floors are all used as dormitories. One house can accommodate six people, and twelve houses can accommodate 72 people. Who are the current store managers and team leaders?"

Xu Hu thought for a moment and replied, "As for the store manager, there are ten of us. The four girls, Team Leader Gao Xinxin, have all been promoted to team leaders. We also went through the assessment. The team leaders over at the mall are Gao Xinxin Clothing Store, Sun Qing Milk Tea Shop, Su Tian Hamburger Shop, Yu Qi Snack Shop, Zhang Yi Restaurant, Sun Xingchen Supermarket, Lin Guang Shoe Store, Qin Zhong Dessert Shop, Zhang Jin Supply and Marketing Cooperative, and Zhang Rong Fruit Shop. The team leaders over here are Ma Qiao Dessert, Liu Yue Shoe Store, Du Ruhai Milk Tea, Meng Yifan Snacks, Chen Wei Clothing, Guan Yi Hamburger, Qi Fei Restaurant, Chen Nianhan Supply and Marketing Cooperative, Qian Yi Supermarket, and Ma Hou Fruit."

Su Le picked out all the names from the employee information, "How many people are there now?"

Xu Hu calculated in his head, "A total of one hundred and forty-two people. Some people also live in the old courtyard."

Su Le couldn't help but sigh, "How many times has it increased? There are so many people even when I'm not here? Amazing! The two restaurants still have 10 people, the main supply and marketing cooperative has 6 people, and the remaining 17 stores have 5 people each. I will open a bigger bookstore with 6 people, the blind box store has 5 people, and the stationery store has 5 people. Jiang Liang, how about I open a furniture store for you?"

Jiang Liang raised his head suddenly. "What? You want the whole furniture store?"

Su Le waved his hand. "Isn't furniture easy for you? Besides, that place has become a residential area, so there must be people making furniture. I will put the five extra employees in the furniture store. They will be responsible for taking your orders, and you will be responsible for delivery. That's all, what do you think?"

Jiang Liang touched his chin and lowered his head. They did have a lot of people, so it would be fine to assign a few of them to work on the furniture. "Okay!"

Su Le nodded and turned to look at Xu Hu. "The team leaders will still be the same people. Have them all go to the store next door. You can hold a meeting. They can choose their own staff and select four team leaders."

Xu Hu stood up, nodded, and went out to do his work. Jiang Liang also waved goodbye to the two of them and left. He had other things to do.

Xu Jiaojiao stepped forward and took Su Le's hand. "Le Le, the meeting is over, you should go back and rest. By the way, you haven't told me when you're moving in yet?"

"Let's move there tomorrow and see how things go during the New Year." Su Le said to her with a smile.
