Once they're familiar with each other, it'll be natural to suggest meeting in person. In her previous life, the gathering was organized by a minor leader in City D. Tang Xiaoxiao's workplace was nearby, so she went too. This time, she doesn't want to wait two years. If no one organizes a gathering, she can do it.

Moreover, she planned to start construction on the old house after the New Year when it got warmer. She would order the materials needed for the renovation from Han Yunqi's shop. Although it was a bit strange to travel such a long distance to buy building materials, his family was open for business, and even if she had doubts, she had no reason to refuse customers. Besides, they did have customers from other places, and she wasn't the only one.

If all goes well, Han Yunqi will be the one to deliver the goods. Han's father can't drive a big truck, so Han Yunqi is the one who usually drives to deliver goods.

It's said that it's easy for a woman to win a man's heart. In her past life, Han Yunqi fell in love with her at first sight. After getting to know him a few more times in this life, she has even more confidence that she can win him over.

After thinking it over in her mind, Tang Xiaoxiao didn't find any obvious loopholes. She nodded in satisfaction. She was such a clever girl, having arranged things so clearly for the other party.

With a cheerful mood, Tang Xiaoxiao cleared out the various tasks that had accumulated from not logging in for the past few days, then greeted everyone in the guild and logged off.

......

After the Lantern Festival, shops of all sizes on the street had already opened for business one after another, and Tang Xiaoxiao went to her sister's house again. Tang Xinxin had taken over the shoe store next door before the New Year, specifically to use it for online sales. Because of the expansion, she was no longer limited to selling only women's clothing, and began to gradually add children's clothing, shoes and other categories. The store next door was much larger than her original clothing store, and she hired four young girls to be in charge of sales, which greatly reduced her own burden.

Nowadays, in addition to keeping a tight grip on the source of goods to ensure quality and style, Tang Xinxin has hired employees who each perform their duties. She only needs to go to the store every day to inspect the accounts and check the delivery slips for any errors.

She helped Tang Xinxin plan her online store. Since she needed to list new children's clothing, shoes, and hats, Tang Xinxin couldn't manage the online store on her own, and she didn't trust anyone else to help her. Coincidentally, Tang Xiaoxiao was also going to the He family to learn a craft that day, so she directly recruited her.

The online store was doing well. Because Tang Xinxin insisted on transferring money to Tang Xiaoxiao's card every month, Tang Xiaoxiao had a general idea of ​​how much the online store earned. She could get about 20,000 to 30,000 yuan a month. This was only half of the online store's income. Although it couldn't compare to those big stores that earned hundreds of thousands of yuan a month, Tang Xinxin was already very satisfied. The customers of the physical store also brought in some revenue. Although it wasn't as much as the online store, it was enough to cover the rent and labor costs.

Now she has less to do than before, more time to spend with her daughter, and is earning more and more money, things she never dared to dream of before.

After finishing planning her online store, Tang Xiaoxiao sat down to rest on the sofa in the store. She looked around at the layout of the new store and had some new ideas.

There is a load-bearing wall on the right-hand side of the entrance to the store. After turning the corner, there is a space of about ten square meters. Because of this wall, it is not very conspicuous to place goods, and customers generally do not want to walk over there. The previous shoe store owner was very superstitious about feng shui. After consulting with a feng shui master, he built a fish pond with an artificial mountain here. Tang Xinxin did not like it after taking over and demolished it. Now, this place is temporarily filled with some mannequins and has not been tidied up yet.

The store entrance is a huge floor-to-ceiling glass window, allowing passersby to clearly see inside, which makes the area appear somewhat cluttered.

Too many mannequins wouldn't look good, and there were already enough mannequins in the display windows on both sides of the store entrance. Tang Xinxin hadn't yet figured out what to do with this part.

Tang Xiaoxiao suggested, "Most of the customers coming and going on this street are tired from shopping on the main street. They come here partly to shop and partly to find a place to rest. Your space is big enough, so you can set up two tables to create a nail salon area and hire two nail technicians. Regularly charge customers who come specifically for nail salons. If they buy a certain amount of clothing in your store, you can give them a free hand treatment or something similar. This way, you can attract more people to the store and boost their spending."

Tang Xinxin's eyes lit up after hearing this.

On weekdays, more than 80% of the customers on this street are women. The nail salon industry has been booming in recent years, so Tang Xiaoxiao's suggestion is perfectly feasible.

However, she didn't know much about nail art. She had only ever shopped at nail salons, and had no idea what it took to open one.

She didn't understand, but Tang Xiaoxiao did. In her previous life, Tang Xiaoxiao had studied nail art for a while after graduating, but she gave it up because she disliked the backstabbing and infighting among women.

She knew all the equipment needed for a nail salon, and hiring two experienced nail technicians would be enough; it wasn't too complicated. She also knew where to source the supplies; the nail material wholesale market wasn't far from City A, about an hour's drive away.

Without much hesitation, Tang Xinxin accepted Tang Xiaoxiao's suggestion, and the two agreed to set off the next morning to buy the equipment.

Having settled things with Tang Xinxin, Tang Xiaoxiao headed to her next destination: the He family.

This was her fourth visit. She arrived at the He family villa with practiced ease. The He family, which usually only had the old man, was now visited by a young man who looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old. He was very tall, had a short buzz cut, and slightly dark skin. His appearance vaguely resembled that of He Zhan.

Upon seeing Tang Xiaoxiao, Grandpa He greeted her with a smile: "Xiaoxiao, you're here! Let me introduce you. This is my grandson, He Haisheng. Xiaosheng, this is your uncle's friend. Call her Auntie."
