Chapter 203 Long queues – it turns out this is my own shop!



"Like Wanjia Supermarket is owned by our family!"

Xia Enruo said it casually.

Before opening her business, she thought that the new way of shopping would definitely attract a group of people, but she did not expect it to cause such a sensation.

The queue stretched for an entire street, even around a corner, and there still wasn't enough stock. I was really worried that we wouldn't have enough to sell, which would negatively impact the shopping experience.

This silly husband even said something that was quite exaggerated, which was really funny, but I can understand it. He was in the army while the renovation and installation of the signs were being done, so he couldn't come to the store.

I didn't tell him either, for fear that it would distract him and affect the troops' training.

The bus I took today was really bumpy. Even though Gu Shaoxuan took good care of me, I still felt a bit dizzy and nauseous. It seems like I'll have to buy a car once I make some money.

However, I should buy a truck before buying a car. Today, when I was delivering vegetables to three stores, I clearly felt that the efficiency was not enough, and most of the time was spent on the road.

"Honey, what did you say? The supermarket where they're lining up is our store?!"

Gu Shaoxuan was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped. He stopped, his eyes wide open, and stared at Xia Enruo in amazement.

"You're really smart, Chief of Staff Gu. Now tell me, is it worth it?"

Xia Enruo pinched Gu Shaoxuan's cheek; even after several rounds of drinks, he still exuded a masculine charm.

"It's worth it, but with so many people, do we have that much to sell?"

“That’s what I was worried about too, which is why I came to take a look and to fix any bugs I found. Let’s go to the store and check on how it’s running.”

Gu Shaoxuan recovered from his surprise and helped Xia Enruo walk towards the shop.

Before even arriving at the location, I saw several reporters conducting interviews at the entrance, taking photos and making notes, they were quite busy.

"Shaoxuan, if any reporters interview you later, be sure to avoid them and don't appear on camera."

"Why?"

"Because you are a cadre, it will have a bad impact on you. It's better to keep a low profile at work. We're just doing our own business, there's no need to make a fuss about it everywhere."

Don't forget that the bigger the tree, the more the wind will blow against it, and people's hearts are unpredictable. Who knows who might try to exploit this situation?

Gu Shaoxuan nodded, agreeing with his wife.

He hadn't expected Xia Enruo to be so thoughtful. Being low-key in one's actions could indeed lead to a longer career, which was also his father's teaching to him since childhood.

Xia Enruo is indeed a woman of great wisdom and righteousness, always thinking of her own needs. With such a wife, what more could a husband ask for?

The two managed to squeeze into the store, bypassing the reporters' cameras.

Gu Shaoxuan was afraid that the customers would bump into his wife, so he wrapped one arm around her and followed closely behind, fearing that something might happen.

"Hey, why aren't you two in line?"

"That's right, we all line up, why are you walking in without lining up?"

"The People's Liberation Army? Even the People's Liberation Army has to wait in line."

"Exactly, they have no manners at all. They just push and shove without queuing!"

...

The customers in line got angry when they saw the two squeeze into the store from the side, and immediately began to condemn them.

The store manager heard the commotion at the door and rushed over to see what was going on.

"Boss, you're here!"

The store manager ran over and, upon seeing that it was Xia Enruo and her husband, greeted them respectfully.

Xia Enruo led Gu Shaoxuan back and explained to the customers in line:

“I’m so sorry for the misunderstanding. I’m the owner of this shop, and this is my husband.”

"Today is the grand opening of our new store. Thank you for your support and patronage. If there is anything we have done poorly or that we need to improve, please come to the front desk and give feedback to the store manager."

"We will actively improve to provide all customers with a more comfortable and reassuring shopping and dining experience."

Xia Enruo's two sentences calmed the crowd's anger, but what followed was disbelief.

"I never expected the owner of this shop to be so young; he looks like a college student."

“My husband is a People’s Liberation Army soldier. Judging from his shoulder insignia, he must be an officer.”

"No wonder people aren't queuing up; they've come to inspect their own shops."

"Amazing, truly amazing..."

Led by the store manager, the two went up to the second floor.

"How's it going? Is the restocking on time?"

This was her biggest worry; if so many people didn't restock in time, it would affect their reputation.

"Don't worry, boss. As long as the inventory is below 20%, I will immediately contact the delivery manufacturer to deliver to the store. Today, the second floor has the most customers. We have restocked the counter five times. It's about to run out again. We need to hire more people. With the current customer flow, we are not manpower enough."

"No rush. Let's wait until the customer flow stabilizes. When something comes out, people will definitely follow suit. Only after the initial hype of the opening has passed can we truly see how much customer traffic there is. Then we can consider the manpower issue."

"Boss, you've thought of everything!"

The store manager had been working with Xia En for several months and highly regarded her.

Boss Xia is not only a good person, but more importantly, she is capable. Anything that comes out of her head is absolutely well thought out.

Moreover, the salary system she established was very scientific, and the principle of "more work, more pay" kept the employees highly motivated.

Now, in addition to a basic monthly salary of 40 yuan, store managers and employees also receive a commission on store revenue.

The store manager receives a monthly bonus of 3% of the store's net profit, while the staff receives 1.5%.

Don't underestimate these 3% and 1.5% commissions. Xia Enruo roughly calculated that if business is good, they can easily earn several hundred yuan a month.

However, Xia Enruo stipulated that if a customer reports poor service or rude language, and the report is true, the customer will forfeit their monthly bonus, and if the incident occurs three times, the customer will be dismissed.
