"Uncle Bai, let's not stand at the door. Let's go to the backyard. We've prepared some refreshments. Let's sit down and chat."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, let's sit down and chat." Director Bai hadn't been together with so many old acquaintances for a long time, and he was very excited. When he heard Nanqiao say this, he hurriedly arranged for everyone to go in.

The adults walked to the backyard. Xiao Ran and Xiao Che gave the gifts to their father's colleagues and asked them to put them in the office. Just when they thought they were about to breathe a sigh of relief, a small figure rushed up and stood between them, holding them on the left and right, with a smile on his face like a flower.

"Sister Xiaoran, Brother Xiaoche, I am Yueliang, Bai Kaixuan's daughter." Yueliang introduced herself in a familiar manner, and regardless of whether Xiaoran and Xiaoche were willing or not, they just held her tightly. She just stood at the back, waiting for the adults to leave so that she could monopolize her brothers and sisters.

"Hello, Yueliang," Xiaoran greeted while struggling to pull his arm out of Yueliang's arms. Xiaoche was no exception, but they were also worried about hurting Yueliang, so they didn't use their full strength. Yueliang, on the other hand, tried her best, fearing that her good-looking brother or sister would run away. In this comparison, it was Xiaoran and Xiaoche who couldn't break free.

Finally, I had to give up, endure the discomfort in my body and mind, and walk to the yard.

When Xiaoran and Xiaoche entered the backyard, Director Bai and his men were already seated. Apart from them, there were only people from Chaoyang. There were no new guests. As for the transportation factory... Nanqiao also asked Sheng Yanchuan if he wanted to invite people from the transportation factory. Sheng Yanchuan just said no and didn't say anything more.

Finally, it was Nanqiao who asked, and Sheng Yanchuan finally told the reason, "We haven't seen each other for a long time, and the gaps in all aspects are getting bigger and bigger. There is no need to force ourselves to get together. It will make both of us uncomfortable."

Many people in the transport factory knew that Sheng Yanchuan had made a fortune over the years. At first, they would greet each other under the pretext of courtesy, but every time they made three phone calls, they would start crying about how difficult their family was and how hard their life was. They would always find ways to get money and then borrow money from him for various reasons. At first, he gave them all out of friendship, but friendship also runs out. He helped once or twice, but three or four times was impossible. He was a businessman, not a philanthropist. Moreover, even a philanthropist would not help others unconditionally.

So after all these times, those people in the transportation factory have used up all their favors. How can they expect him to actively recruit them?

There is one thing Sheng Yanchuan didn't say. At that time in the transport factory, although he had a master who led him and brothers who went out with him, there was not much true affection between them. They were more concerned with interests, especially the master. When he was young, he treated him very badly. It was common for him to ridicule him. It was only later that he saw that he was useful that he began to look at him differently. Therefore, Sheng Yanchuan had respect for his master, but he didn't have much other feelings.

Nanqiao listened to Sheng Yanchuan's explanation and thought about their life together over the years. It seemed that besides her and Chaoyang's brothers, there weren't many people around him, especially those friends who drank and talked happily...

The opening time arrived as scheduled, and the opening ceremony was held normally. Sheng Yanchuan sat alone, and the boss of Chaoyang came on stage to speak. Firecrackers sounded, red cloth fell, and Chaoyang Department Store officially appeared in front of everyone.

If everyone thought this store was a scam before, they no longer think so. After all, Director Bai came in person, and even the newspapers came to take pictures and report on it. Everyone regretted not coming when they were recruiting some time ago. Wouldn't such a good job be in their pockets? Now it's just given to others for nothing.

Since they couldn't get a job, they had to take advantage of the situation, so they rushed to the store like crazy and bought a lot. They didn't need tickets and there were discounts if they bought more. They were all daily necessities and food. They didn't worry about not being able to use them if they bought too much, so they bought as much as they could.

There are many people who think so. After all the hard work, Chaoyang's sales on the first day of opening were surprisingly good. Nearly two-thirds of the stock was sold out. It was surprising to have such a result.

After the opening ceremony, Sheng Yanchuan and Nanqiao took everyone to the restaurant next door for dinner. Before leaving, Nanqiao went to find Taohua, and Xiaoran and Xiaoche followed closely behind.

"Taohua, let's go eat. Uncle Bai and the others are also getting ready to go." Nanqiao entered the Chaoyang Hall, looked at the busy girls over there, and walked up to Nanqiao and whispered

"Sister-in-law, you guys go ahead. I'll go eat with everyone after I'm done with my work."

"Aunt, let's go together," Xiaoran and Xiaoche said, pulling Taohua's skirt.

"Xiao Ran and Xiao Che, be good and go eat with your mother. Your aunt will come to you after she's done with her work, okay?"

"Okay, then little auntie should also give a hint for lunch at noon." Xiao Ran and Xiao Che saw that their auntie was busy, so they stopped pestering her and followed their mother obediently.

"Okay, remember to eat lunch, and we'll pick you up when you want to go home in the afternoon." There were indeed quite a few customers in the store, and since Taohua was willing to stay, Nanqiao didn't force her.

"Okay, sister-in-law, go and have dinner."

Nanqiao nodded, looked at the person in charge of the store and said, "You guys should keep an eye on the time. When there are fewer customers, you can take turns to eat. Don't work on an empty stomach."

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, we will take good care of this place," the man said respectfully.

"Thank you for your hard work," Nanqiao said, and then gave Taohua a few more instructions before leaving.

After Nanqiao left, Taohua continued to do her own thing. Liuliu took advantage of the time when she could choose the goods and came to Taohua and whispered, "Taohua, is that your sister-in-law, the wife of our Chaoyang boss?"
