Li Jin's feelings upon returning were vastly different from when she arrived. On her way there, she was filled with worry, preoccupied with Chief Fu's illness, and had found it difficult to sleep. But now, she felt a great sense of relief, her mood exceptionally light.

As soon as she got on the bus, Li Jin collapsed onto the bed like a deflated balloon and fell asleep almost immediately. After all, she had no worries about her safety—all her valuables were safely stored in her spatial storage, and the bag contained only a few ordinary clothes.

Li Jin slept exceptionally soundly until dawn. After waking up, she ate a little something and then drifted back to sleep, as if trying to make up for the sleep she had missed over the past few days.

Time slipped by unnoticed, and it wasn't until the train was about to arrive at the station that Li Jin finally woke up from bed and stretched.

At this moment, a woman sitting opposite Li Jin smiled and said warmly, "Young lady, you really can sleep! You've been sleeping the whole way. You should be careful traveling alone!"

Knowing that her older sister meant well, Li Jin quickly returned the same bright smile and replied, "Thank you for your concern, sister. I will definitely pay attention next time!"

Upon hearing this, the older sister beamed with joy and exclaimed, "Oh my, look at this girl, she has such a sweet tongue! I'm so much older than you, and she still calls me 'older sister'!"

Even in the afternoon, the eldest sister was still grinning! Li Jin was in a great mood too!

The train slowly pulled into the station. Li Jin packed her things, said goodbye to the enthusiastic older woman, and followed the flow of people off the platform. The air in Beijing carried a familiar, bustling atmosphere!

Because she was preoccupied with the new store, Li Jin went directly from the train station to catch a bus to Changning District. Looking at the street scenes rushing past the window, she pondered the preparations for the new store. Upon arriving in Changning District, she went straight to the location of the new store.

Before she left, all the shops in this row looked the same, but now, she immediately spotted her own newly renovated shop. The once-old walls had been painted a bright beige, and the brand-new signboard gleamed in the sunlight, reading "Newly Renovated Clothing." Xiao Pingping and a strange girl were cleaning. Li Jin walked over happily, and Xiao Pingping, with her sharp eyes, spotted her immediately, excitedly calling out, "Xiao Jin, you're finally back!" She then pulled the strange girl beside her, saying, "This is our new shop assistant, Xiao Hui. She's very efficient." Xiao Hui smiled shyly and said softly, "Hello, Sister Jin." Li Jin smiled and nodded, her first impression of Xiao Hui quite good.

Next, they went inside to check out the renovations. The shelves were neatly arranged, and the lighting was bright. Li Jin looked around with satisfaction, while Xiao Pingping explained the details of the renovations, what changes had been made, and where new decorations had been added. Listening to her, Li Jin felt even more confident about the future of the business.

After inspecting the renovations, Li Jin, Xiao Pingping, and Xiao Hui sat in the shop and began discussing the specifics of the opening. Li Jin took out a small notebook, which was filled with notes of the various ideas she had been planning over the past few days.

“Pingping, Xiaohui, we need to decide on a date for the opening. I think next Saturday is a good choice. There will be a lot of foot traffic on weekends, and choosing a good day will also bring good luck.” Li Jin said, looking at the two of them.

Xiao Pingping immediately nodded in agreement: "I think it's a good idea. Next Saturday is a good time, so we can prepare properly. Xiao Hui, what do you think?"

Xiao Hui smiled shyly: "Sister Jin and Sister Pingping can decide for me. I'll listen to you."

Li Jin smiled and patted Xiao Hui on the shoulder: "Don't be so reserved. From now on, we'll be partners working together. Feel free to share your thoughts." He then added, "Now that the opening date is set, we need to work on the promotion. We can print some flyers and distribute them in the surrounding farmers' markets, wholesale markets, and neighborhoods."

Xiao Pingping's eyes lit up: "That's a great idea! We can find some students to distribute the gifts; they're young and energetic. Giving them some compensation will also attract them." Li Jin nodded, "Okay, I'll leave this to you. Find some reliable students. Also, we can put a loudspeaker at the store entrance, play some cheerful music, and prepare some small gifts. We can hold a lucky draw on opening day to attract customers." Xiao Hui's eyes sparkled, "Sister Jin, what kind of prizes can we offer for the lucky draw?" Li Jin thought for a moment, "The first prize could be a set of our best clothes, the second prize a top or pants, and the third prize some small accessories, like hair accessories or scarves." Xiao Pingping said excitedly, "That will definitely attract a lot of people. Oh, and we can also find some tailors who can take measurements and make custom-made clothes for customers on-site." Li Jin smiled, "Great idea! That will make our store even more unique. With everyone working together, this store will definitely have a successful opening." The three chatted more and more enthusiastically, full of anticipation for the future of their new store.
