"Alright, let's get to work. Looks like we really need to hire a few more employees."

Gu Shaoxuan returned to the counter to continue collecting money, while Xia Enruo went back to the kitchen.

"Is Sister Enruo alright?"

Mao Xiangling worked quickly. By the time Xia Enruo returned, she had already washed all the pots and pans and was wiping the countertop with a rag.

“Nothing special, it’s just that my two uncles and aunts at the police station wanted to reconcile with me and asked me to sign a letter of understanding.”

"···········"

Mao Xiangling's eyes widened in disbelief. How could there be such shameless people in the world who hurt others so badly and then expect them to forgive them?

She put down the rag and replied, somewhat surprised:

"Sister Enruo, you didn't agree to their proposal, did you?!"

Xia Enru shook her head.

Mao Xiangling sighed.

“I’m really afraid you’ll be too kind and forgive them. Those kinds of people don’t deserve forgiveness; they should be severely punished by the police.”

"Xiangling, I'm not that stupid. Let's not talk about my business anymore. By the way, how did things go with the thing I asked you to ask your aunt about last time?"

Mao Xiangling turned her head away, looking helpless.

"Sigh, I didn't even get a chance to say anything before my mom shut me down. I was just about to ask her what you said, but she just turned around and told me to focus on my studies, that she's fine, and that I don't need to worry about work."

"And that's how our conversation ended. I don't know how to continue! I think I'll just leave it at that. Let's take it one step at a time."

Xia Enruo was surprised that Wang Yaqin was so alert. She must have guessed Mao Xiangling's intentions, which is why she said that.

In a normal family, parents would love for their children to chat with them and share their work and feelings.

It seems she wasn't having a very good time at work; there were at least some things she wasn't willing to share, even with her own daughter.

"Xiangling, there's still a long way to go. We'll find a way to break through. These things can't be rushed. Besides, you haven't graduated yet and you're still a college student. You and Yuan Qiang aren't going to get married right away."

"So we have plenty of time, let's think of other ways."

Mao Xiangling picked up the rag and continued wiping, shrugging as she said:

"Sister Enruo, this is the only way!"

From morning till night, the shop is packed with people, some of whom have been queuing for hours just to be able to shop there.

Liu Cuiyun, Tian Xiuli, and other employees were so busy that they didn't even have time to eat lunch, and the same was true for other shops.

It wasn't until 5:30 p.m., when it got a bit dark, that the number of people gradually decreased.

"Xia, my back is about to break. This is only the first day of opening and there are already so many people. If it's like this every day, even our iron bodies won't be able to take it."

Liu Cuiyun sat in the chair, wiping the sweat from her forehead with a towel from time to time.

"Absolutely. My arms feel like they don't belong to me anymore. I've been putting goods on the counter all day, and the shelves are empty in the blink of an eye."

"Although we are happier the more money our store makes, I'm afraid I'll make money but not live to spend it. If this continues, I'll be scrapped."

"They didn't even cook lunch for those guys at noon, they probably just heated up leftovers. Xia, it seems we really need to take better care of them."

Tian Xiuli patted her back with both hands, and drank two buckets of water in one go because she was so tired.

Xia Enruo knew that the employees had been working overtime today, so she specially prepared dinner and invited everyone to eat together at the store.

In the other stores, Xia Enruo would have the store managers take their employees out to restaurants after work.

"Sisters, hang in there for two more days. We'll start recruiting new employees tomorrow, and we should be able to find enough in three to five days. Then we'll have more manpower."

"That's good. Our store is becoming more and more famous. I estimate that there are few people in Yongning City who don't know about it. We'll have plenty of customers in the future."

Zhao Minghui calculated his income for the day, and he was a little confused. He couldn't believe he hadn't made a mistake, could he? There was so much!

That's a whopping 15,000 yuan! That's the total revenue up to now. And there are still customers making purchases in the store right now.

"Mr. Xia, I'm a little confused!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Enruo hurriedly went over to her.

She thought Zhao Minghui was too tired and wasn't feeling well!

"Minghui, are you alright? Are you feeling unwell? Sit down! Should we go to the hospital?"

Gu Shaoxuan, Tian Xiuli, and the others gathered around when they heard this.

"Are you tired? Minghui Guang has made two trips to the other three stores today, which is twice as many as usual."

"And he was running back and forth in the store, upstairs and downstairs. I saw during the day that his back was soaked with sweat!"

Seeing that everyone had misunderstood him, Zhao Minghui quickly waved his hand and explained.

"Boss Xia, sister-in-law. I'm fine, that's not what I meant, I'm perfectly healthy!"

"I'm stunned because I made so much money today, I'm a bit overwhelmed. I don't know if that's right!"

Upon hearing this, everyone gasped for breath.

"Hey, this has given us a lot of worry."

"We were just about to take you to the hospital!"

Xia Enruo was amused by their words and laughed as well.

"Alright, alright. If you keep talking, my stomach will hurt from laughing."

"Honey, you can't get excited, the babies are still inside you!"

When Gu Shaoxuan saw Xia Enruo laughing so hard she was clutching her stomach, he quickly went over and hugged her, reminding her to be careful.

"By the way, Minghui, after all this talk, how much money did our store actually make today?"

"I've calculated it to be over 15,300 yuan!"

"How many?"

After hearing this, the group asked the same question at the same time.

"It's over 15,300 yuan, so I said I was a little confused, and I was afraid I had miscalculated. But I counted the money very carefully step by step just now, so I'm afraid I couldn't have made a mistake."

Zhao Minghui explained earnestly to the group.

"More than 15,000?"

Tian Xiuli's mouth dropped open; she had never heard of so much money in her life.

She has several children to support, and by the end of each month, their living expenses are completely spent. Since getting married, she and her husband have only managed to save about two thousand yuan.

The last time I heard that the store made more than 8,000 yuan a day, it was already a pipe dream. Now it's beyond my imagination.

Gu Shaoxuan's eyes widened when he heard this, and he stared at Zhao Minghui without saying a word.

"It should be about right. Today's customer traffic has more than doubled compared to usual. Minghui's calculation should be correct."

Xia Enruo remained extremely calm, after all, in her previous life her company's turnover was in the billions.

"Shaoxuan, this is so much money. We need to deposit it in the bank first, otherwise it will be too inconvenient to go to other shops to settle accounts with this money."

"Enruo, you're right."

Zhao Minghui pulled out two whole sacks from under the counter.

Gu Shaoxuan: "·············"

He can't handle it all by himself, especially since he also has to take care of his wife.

"Enruo, let Minghui go with us."

"Okay!"
