In her previous life, Ye Jin was pure and kind, but she was schemed against by her stepmother and stepsister, which led to her losing her eyesight and being forced to marry the neighborhood rogue.<...
The stationery store is a chain store, and all kinds of stationery are available in a row.
Ye Jin enthusiastically chose school bags, pencil cases, pencils, ballpoint pens and other items for her sister.
Gu Yan stood at the cashier counter, watching the two sisters as happy as two happy little sparrows.
The two of them picked and chose, liked everything, and before they knew it, they had picked a big bag.
It was rare that they liked the things, so Gu Yan did not stop them. He just saw that they had picked a lot of things and took the initiative to pay for them.
By the time they realized what was happening, Gu Yan had already paid the bill.
"Weiwei, these are the stationery your brother-in-law gave you. When you get to school, you must study hard and don't let your sister down."
The beige canvas backpack is not eye-catching compared to the pink one, nor does it look tacky. It looks pretty good on Ye Wei.
"Thank you, brother-in-law. You are the best to me!"
Ye Wei was so happy that his eyebrows were beaming with joy, and Ye Jin also gave him a bright smile.
I bought some stationery and then went shopping for food. The department store has all the specialties from the surrounding villages and towns.
Moreover, you don’t need food coupons to buy food here, which saves a lot of trouble.
All the special features are gathered in one place. You can buy everything you want as long as you go here. No wonder the department store business is so prosperous.
"Gu Yan, I want to open a specialty store here."
Ye Jin noticed that although everything here was complete, there were still some omissions.
The shop she wanted to open here was naturally not an ordinary shop, but a shop selling precious medicinal herbs grown in the space.
These herbs can earn a lot of money if sold directly to a pharmacy, but after all, they have changed hands once, so at least half of the profit is taken away by others.
Her medicinal herbs are unique and cannot be bought in ordinary stores. If she has a store in a high-end store like a department store, although it will be difficult to operate at the beginning, there will definitely be more and more repeat customers over time.
The quality is excellent and guaranteed. Although the price is high, the medicinal effect is good. Medicinal materials of this quality are treasures that many wealthy people dream of.
"What kind of store do you want to open? Tell me and I'll give you some advice."
"I'm selling medicinal herbs. What do you think of the herbs I showed you?"
Ye Jin stared at him excitedly. Gu Yan frowned and thought for a long time before nodding heavily.
"I think there's a big market for it. Although the department stores are large and have everything, the medicinal herbs sold in the pharmacies here are still a little lacking in quality."
"You think the same as I do. Let's go and see if there is a suitable shop for rent."
Ye Jin is a person of action. She does things immediately when she thinks of them, instead of procrastinating and constantly thinking about them, which she thinks is completely unnecessary.
"Put the things in the car first. It's not very convenient to go to a store with so many bags."
Gu Yan picked up the things in his hands and showed them to Ye Jin. He was already carrying a lot of bags in his hands.
"We bought a bit too much. Let's go to the parking lot and put the things away."
Ye Jin smiled embarrassedly, her arms around her sister's arm empty-handed. Ye Wei also had a schoolbag slung across her body, which was filled with a lot of stationery.
Everyone carried something, but she didn't take anything. The more Ye Jin thought about it, the more embarrassed she felt.
"You don't have to be embarrassed. I'm your boyfriend, so it's only natural for you to carry things. Your sister is still young, and now that she doesn't have a boyfriend to help her, she has to carry things herself, so this is normal."
Ye Jin nodded thoughtfully, successfully convinced by Gu Yan's twisted logic.
Even Ye Wei felt that what he said made sense: "Sister, I think what my brother-in-law said is right. You don't need to mention anything if you have a partner. Although I don't have a partner now, I will have one in the future."
"Puff! Gu Yan, you've led my sister astray. Look at what ideas you've passed on to her!"
Ye Wei is only thirteen years old and still a child who hasn't grown up yet. But now he is thinking about finding a partner. It's Gu Yan who has brought him up to be a bad person.
"Then you're wrong. With a good brother-in-law like me, our sister's standards will be raised several levels in the future. Ordinary men will not be in her eyes at all. Isn't this a good thing?"
Gu Yan spoke so confidently that Ye Jin was almost convinced by him. However, her sister just followed his lead and thought everything he said was right.
"Look at how shameless you are. You even describe yourself as a flower."
Ye Jin snorted softly. She felt that what Gu Yan said made sense, but she refused to admit it.
Gu Yan is not someone who must win. He smiled and said nothing. He knew when to quit and that was the best way to avoid making his wife angry.
"If you are thin-skinned, you can't eat. If you are thick-skinned, you can eat as much as you want."
"I'd be very satisfied if the person I find in the future is half as good as my brother-in-law."
Gu Yan put all the things in the car and locked the door of the truck.
The pile of things I bought only occupied a small corner of the huge cargo bed of this truck.
"I bought too little. The car isn't big enough."
Gu Yan sighed and Ye Jin rolled his eyes at him.
"Just now you were the one who said I bought too much, and now you're the one who complains I bought too little."
"Come on, let's not talk about this anymore and go inside to choose a store."
Gu Yan didn't plan to ask every household, so she took Ye Jin directly to the management office of the department store.
Department stores are huge behemoths for many people. Whether it is the environment and hygiene inside, the monthly rent, or the increase or decrease in rented shops, they all need to be managed by dedicated people.
Therefore, every department store has a management office. Ye Jin rarely comes to these places, so naturally he doesn’t know about them. Gu Yan has dealt with them many times and is already familiar with them.
The management office is not big, but the decoration is very high-end. It is obvious that the profit of this department store is considerable.
Gu Yan knocked on the door and went in. There were several uniformed staff members working inside.
"We are here to rent a shop. Does your mall currently have any vacant shops?"
Gu Yan asked with a smile. He made his purpose clear in one sentence, so naturally there was less nonsense.
"Business at the department store is pretty good, and there are very few vacant shops. But as the old saying goes, 'It's better to arrive early than to arrive early.' Coincidentally, one of the tenants won't be renewing their lease at the end of this month for personal reasons. If you're interested, I can take you to have a look."
A woman in a professional suit and delicate makeup smiled and led them to see the store.
"Let's go." Ye Jin pulled Gu Yan's arm and pushed him forward.
The store is located on the first floor, but it is located further back, so the flow of people is not as good as other places.
Fortunately, this place is large enough, with relatively few shops around it, so it is spacious and quiet. This is exactly the location that Ye Jin plans to open a herbal medicine shop.
Moreover, she had observed that the several stores around this shop were all very upscale, which gave this place a higher level of class for no reason.
