Jinshun Department Store
Chen Jia ran over quickly, wanting to urge everyone to leave quickly, but this was not the end yet, as several elders wanted to take pictures and were looking for people who knew how to take pictures to help.
In the end, Chen Jia’s classmates helped take the photos.
Chen Jia, who was arranged in the middle, had the stiffest smile, while the others all smiled quite cheerfully.
Chen Jin and Shen Baichuan, who were standing at the back and the side, whispered, "When I was admitted to university, the firecrackers from our village were set off in Qiaoxi Village. I felt so embarrassed at that time." Shen Baichuan couldn't imagine that scene, but if he put himself in the shoes of Chen Jia who was picked up at the airport today, he could feel the embarrassment of being at a loss, being flustered, and having a red face and thick neck. but:
"It's awkward for one or two people to go to the reception wearing red clothes, holding banners and shouting through loudspeakers, but it's not awkward if a group of people go."
Even felt happy.
As long as the person being picked up at the airport is not him, he would still be willing to come next time.
Chen Jin laughed grimly and said, "No matter how thick-skinned I am, I'm embarrassed to go with one or two people. Hehe, my uncle is still the one who does more fancy things. Hey, I don't know how the photos I took today look. I have to print this one and put it in a prominent place at home."
She didn't even need to say anything, my uncle just told me to wash a few more and hang them up when the time comes.
"Third sister, whose idea was this? It's so embarrassing!" Chen Jia took the opportunity to squeeze into Chen Jin's car. As soon as she got in the car, she quickly fanned herself with her hands, and the spot on her face slowly disappeared.
When her classmates left, they said that her family was really interesting.
It was indeed interesting, but she was the one being picked up at the airport, so that was embarrassing.
"It's not embarrassing. My second aunt said that someone from the staff quarters of the Municipal Meteorological Bureau came back from studying abroad and hung a banner on the gate of the staff quarters for half a year. She didn't want to hang a banner at the gate of the staff quarters because she said it was too conspicuous."
Chen Jia: "...Compared to this, it's better to put up a banner at the airport."
At least these people don't know her.
"What about this dress?"
"My uncle told us to wear red clothes, because it's festive. It just so happens that my store has just launched a new pair of red shirts, so we all wore the same new clothes."
"Oh, I know, Third Sister, you opened a company!" Chen Jia said with emotion, "It's been less than a year, and I can't keep up with the changes at home."
I missed a lot of important days.
Chen Yongan kept asking questions, all about how good life was abroad, and whether she would be uncomfortable speaking Mandarin after returning.
Chen Jia said: "I have only been there for less than a year. I have been with Chinese people every day, so there is no problem with me speaking Mandarin. It is just like that outside. I am not used to the food and people look down on me. The good conditions outside are because of the locals, not us."
"Anyway, it's enough for me to go this once. If you ask me to go out next time, it's okay to go play for a few days, but forget about studying abroad." Chen Jia rolled down the car window, took a deep breath, and exhaled.
"Home is still the best."
This time, my aunt and uncle came with my little cousin to dinner. They said they didn’t have time to pick us up at the airport. When they came and saw the room full of red clothes, they almost thought they had walked into the wrong room.
"I almost thought we had walked into the private room reserved by the tour group." Aunt said, and then she discovered that only the three of them and Chen Jia were wearing different clothes.
As soon as I saw the Baiyou icon on the sleeve of the clothes, I knew that this was a piece of clothing produced by Chen Jin’s clothing company.
This niece has built up her business step by step and now she has expanded it to such a big size.
This time everyone was gathered together more, and my uncle talked more. He celebrated Chen Jia's return to China and also celebrated in advance the opening of Chen Jin's Jinshun Department Store tomorrow.
"Let's wash and dry the clothes early when we get home today. We'll wear them tomorrow morning to celebrate for our third sister."
The smile on Chen Jin's face froze for a moment, then he said, "That's great. Uncle, you guys just stand at the door and you'll be our living sign. But, we don't need to bring a loudspeaker to make announcements tomorrow."
"Haha, OK, I'll listen to you. Not using the loudspeaker won't affect your employees from shouting on the loudspeaker."
The uncle put down the cup and said, "Jia Jia, please say a few words. Go out for a year and tell us what the outside world is like. We can open our eyes."
"Then I'll tell you about it."
"Sit down, sit down and talk." The uncle said with a smile, "The way you straightened your clothes and stood up just now is comparable to your father's. You have the airs of an official."
The third uncle said, "The daughter looks like her father, there is no doubt about that."
There was so much laughter here that the waiters and guests at the door of the private room outside couldn't help but look over here: what a laugh.
After not seeing each other for a while, Chen Jin found that his aunt was now much more "clear-headed". She no longer mentioned business matters and only came to chat about trivial matters with his three uncles. It seemed that she wanted to soften her attitude and ease the relationship.
Whether it is the three uncles or the aunt, they are all people who are soft-hearted and do not respond to toughness. They must be happy that their own sisters can sit together and have a good talk. After all, broken bones are connected by tendons, and even if they said they would break off the relationship in anger before, it is impossible to completely sever the relationship.
Especially the eldest uncle, who said before that he would not care about Chen Ting anymore. He is indeed partial to his two cousins, but he also has many plans for her in the future.
My aunt has probably given up the idea of getting anything in return from her, and no longer speaks to her as an elder.
Their attitude towards Shen Baichuan is more enthusiastic than towards her.
But she didn't care.
As for relatives, it is not necessary to force everyone to get along with each other, as long as they can get along well on the surface.
In normal times, no one should provoke anyone else, but when something big happens, everyone can lend a hand. If she often acts like a spoiled child and loses their relationship, she will run away faster than anyone else when something happens.
My cousin Gu Yaozu is only one and a half years old. He looks quite smart, but his name is not nice. His smartness is almost destroyed by it.
So, my uncle reminded my aunt to change the child's name, "What's so great about bringing honor to the ancestors? It's too big a name and it won't be good for the child. Why not change the name?"
The uncle laughed and said, "The child's grandmother gave him this name. It's hard to refute an old lady's words."
"What's so hard to refute?" The uncle wanted to scold the old woman again, and scold Gu Shunfa at the same time. After all, he still remembered the delay in signing the consent form for the birth of the child.
But just as the words came to his lips, his wife next to him pinched his waist, and the third sister opposite coughed several times towards the outside.
Chen Jin sighed and said, "I almost choked just now. The radish is a bit salty today."
Shen Baichuan silently helped her refill her drink.
The uncle glared at her with amusement and anger, secretly saying that she was just worrying about other people's business. !
However, he swallowed his words.
I'm used to it and always want to say a few more words. But everyone knows their own business, so he should just say less.
"Brother, come here, I'll have a drink with you."
"Just a little. I've been quitting drinking recently." My uncle changed the subject and said, "I can't refuse to accept my old age. The doctor told me to drink less. I thought I didn't have many days left to live. I couldn't spend the rest of my life in the hospital. So I listened to the doctor and slowly quit drinking."
"And the same goes for the rest of you. You start a company and make money, but can you ever make all the money? Just make enough for what you have. You still have to have a healthy body."
"You should learn from Third Sister. A boss who knows how to be lazy is a smart and good boss. Third Sister told me this over the phone."
Chen Jin looked up proudly: That’s right! That’s what I said!
Several people who were called looked towards Chen Jin, and the third cousin started to make a noise: "Boss Chen San, it's your turn to say something. Tell us how to be a lazy boss."
"Tsk! Boss Chen San? This name is so tacky, change it!"
"Haha, you are all Boss Chen San!" Chen Yongan laughed loudly.
His smile was so silly that even He He was amused.
The meal was over quickly. Chen Jia was exhausted after returning from the flight, and the others also left early in order to rush to the airport to pick someone up.
It's a rare weekend that's followed by the Labor Day holiday, so I have to go back and take some rest.
But this is a rare opportunity. It is still different to finally get the whole family together again after more than half a year.
It’s not complete yet, as we’re still missing cousin Minmin.
—
On May 1st, Jinshun Department Store officially opened, and the newly added store of Buyo also opened on this day.
In addition to Jinshun Department Store, Buyyou has a total of ten stores located in various corners of Fuzhou City.
It's considered a little famous.
At six o'clock in the morning, everyone who was supposed to come had arrived.
People said eight o'clock and twelve o'clock were the best times, and finally we chose eight o'clock in the morning because we couldn't delay others from coming to buy things, so of course we had to cut the ribbon and unveil the sign earlier.
On the opening day of Jinshun Department Store, flyers offering 20% off on all items had already been circulated everywhere. After they cut the ribbon and unveiled the sign, people started to go in one after another. By around nine o'clock, the number of people going in suddenly skyrocketed.
Below the huge Jinshun Department Store sign, there are also signs for Baiyou Clothing and Nan'an Furniture. There are also advertising signs for other brands, but they are not so obvious.
Those who stopped to watch were attracted not only by the flyers, but also by the words "20% off on all items, prizes for shopping" on the loudspeaker, and even more by a group of men, women, and children wearing red clothes at the door.
This touch of red is particularly obvious in front of the department store that has shown signs of age.
"Go in and take a look?"
"Then go and have a look."
"Isn't this the old department store? Now it's called Jinshun Department Store? Is it still owned by the government?"
"It's sold, and now it's under the name of Jinshun Company. Look, the recently popular Baiyou clothing is a brand of their company. That Nan'an furniture sounds a bit familiar, but I can't quite remember it. Well, anyway, it's also from Jinshun Company."
"You even know this?"
"My neighbor's son works in their company, so of course I know about it. It's a private company, and the salary and benefits are better than those in state-owned units. I won't say more, just go in and take a look."
Outside the door, Jinshun staff were holding a loudspeaker to invite people to come in and take a look...
My uncle and his friends were originally planning to go in and help add to the crowd, but now they think it’s better not to go in and cause trouble.
Not only them, but also people from the village who said they wanted to come to show their support were hesitant when they saw the number of people entering.
"Wow, your family is wearing red clothes today for good luck."
"Really? I said it's good to wear red clothes today." The uncle looked at the people who came and thought it would be inappropriate to just let them stand there, so he called Chen Jin, who was talking to his friends, over and said, "Let's find a restaurant nearby and let everyone have some tea and rest."
Chen Jin said, "It's already been decided, so let's go there now?"
"Hurry up, hurry up. Who would have thought there would be so many people? I want to go in and do some shopping. I don't know how long it has been since I last went shopping. The malls are pretty much like this during the Chinese New Year."
Although my uncle sounded annoyed when he spoke to others, his face was full of the word "happy", and people could see it at a glance:
Here I go again, here to show off again!
The uncle brought the villagers, and Chen Jin brought her friends, and they all went straight to the nearby teahouse.
Not all my friends are free. Some of them have other things to do and have to leave first. The remaining few just happen to have time.
After Qin Yi sat down, he said, "Brother, why didn't you inform us in advance when you were going to make uniforms? We can wear them too."
Xue Zhonghua and Xiong Jiahao looked at him as if he were a monster, and they both shook their heads: they didn't want to wear it.
Others also said they didn't want to wear bright red.
Xiong Jiahao rolled his eyes at him and said, "They're all wearing it, you're just joining in the fun."
“That’s right!”
Shen Baichuan glanced at him and said, “Have you been free recently?”
Qin Yi sighed, "The donkeys in the production team are more idle than me. I can't do this crappy job for a day. Brother, does your company still need a gatekeeper? I'll go over and guard the gate for you."
Qin Yi has a lot to say when talking about his work.
"This one is Cheng Yanzong's man, and that one is Cheng Yanfeng's man. They don't fight directly, but have to use me to attack them from a distance. Are they crazy?! If I didn't have so much money, I wouldn't put up with that humiliation."
Shen Baichuan exposed him and said, "So you go to work every day just to sleep, and get paid tens of thousands of yuan a month?"
"This is too little money. Being angry is bad for your health. If I'm not in good health, then all the money I earn will be wasted."
Qin Yi's twisted logic is the same all the time.
Chen Jin felt that Chen Yongan and Qin Yi were a bit similar, both wanting to make a little money to live.
Shang Jing and Yang Qian happened to be there, so Chen Jin went to ask about the broadcast arrangements of their TV series.
The TV series has just been completed and is now scheduled to be broadcast during the winter vacation. There were many Parkview Green clothes in the TV series, and there was even a scene where the main characters went shopping at Parkview Green.
The clothes were provided free of charge. If we were not friends, Baiyou would not have had this opportunity.
Shang Jing and Yang Qian both said that this drama would be popular. Chen Jin didn’t understand the script clearly, but she still believed in their vision.
Then we have to invite the protagonist to shoot another set of commercials...
"What are you thinking about?" Yang Qian waved her hand in front of her.
Chen Jin said honestly: "I almost had a daydream just now, thinking that I really became the richest woman in Southern Province, hehe."
"With your expansion rate, it's only a matter of time."
Chen Jin raised his eyebrows and said, "You don't need to say nice things to me. Anyway, I won't say nice things for you in front of Lin Xinran."
"Why do you miss me so much?" Nie Rong said seriously, "I'm telling the truth."
"Then I'll take your good words and remember to recommend a few more people to help me manage my finances." Chen Jin clinked glasses with him happily, and then said, "Although it's a little early to think about it, but when I close my eyes and think about it, hey, I'm really happy!"
Qin Yi immediately started to cheer and said that he wanted to toast the future richest woman in Nan Province.
Chen Jin laughed jokingly and said, "Hey, you don't have to be the best in Southern Province, just be a rich woman. I don't have big aspirations."
Then they clinked glasses one by one.
"You guys chat while I go over and talk to the people in our village."
Every time Chen Jin mentioned "our village" in front of others, he said it very frankly, even with a hint of pride.
Many people outside are afraid that others will know that they are from the village, but she is different. She wishes everyone knew that she is from Qiaodong Village.
But judging from the day Chen Jin's company opened last year, the people in Chen Jin Village are quite interesting.
Apart from anything else, they are truly united when it comes to quarreling.
Chen Jin asked Shen Baichuan to help entertain his friends, and he went over to thank the people from the village.
They came here specially to show their support, and we must remember this kindness. Who knows next time, I might have to ask the villagers for help.
Especially her trumpet troupe.
Now when she sees the old ladies in the village, she feels particularly close to them. After all, they had fought together twice.
"Third sister, you've made a fortune. You said you had no money, but you bought a building without money..."
Never mind, it’s better to say it early. Chen Jin took back the action of pouring a drink for Chen Sanpo.
"Everyone else is drinking beverages, but you're drinking vinegar?"
Mrs. Chen didn't react for a moment, "I didn't drink it."
"I didn't drink it. You smell sour?"
You still have to give her a tight squeeze every once in a while, otherwise do you think she's easy to talk to?
Why don’t you ask what nicknames the villagers have given her in private recently?
Trumpet today!
