On September 3rd, Liang Guiying accompanied Chen Yingzi to register for work. Then, she received a notification from Boss Zhang that the shop was completed and she could prepare to open for business.
Last time, Mr. Zhang said it would be completed by mid-September, but now it's been completed ahead of schedule.
Liang Guiying then went to the shop to take a look.
The shop is spacious and bright, with tables and chairs arranged in an orderly manner. The main road is right outside the left wall, where several windows have been added. The areas near the windows have been turned into booths, and a wooden fence has been built between each booth, with potted plants hanging on it.
The second floor has a similar layout to the first floor, with a bathroom added. The rooms on the third floor remain unchanged, while a wooden shed with a pointed roof has been built on the rooftop, giving it a unique character.
The order counter is on the first floor, to the right of the entrance, while the kitchen is behind it. It has excellent lighting and ventilation.
There is also a restroom in the stairwell on the first floor.
Overall, the shop isn't exactly trendy, but it's filled with Hong Kong style elements as Liang Guiying requested, and it's kept clean and tidy, making it a very comfortable place to be.
Liang Guiying settled the renovation payment on the spot and suggested to him: "Mr. Zhang, your team did such a good and meticulous job, and you were able to advance the construction period and achieve such a good result. Have you ever thought about starting a renovation company to take on interior decoration jobs?"
Interior decoration?
"I don't know the specifics, but I heard that new buildings are being built everywhere in Shenzhen, what are they called, commercial buildings, one after another, with several units per floor, each with its own bathroom and kitchen... You know, everyone's definition of a home is different. Some people think that just painting the walls white is enough to live in, while others want to put up decorative wallpaper or something else..."
"But most people don't have a clear idea of what kind of living environment they want. If they are given a beautiful model room to look at and choose from, they will definitely be happy."
"The shop is the same. Look how beautiful my ice cream parlor is! When people come here to drink ice cream in the future, they will think, 'When I open my own ice cream parlor, I want it decorated just like this one...'"
Mr. Zhang's eyes lit up when he heard only half of it, and by the time he finished, he was trembling with excitement: "Sister Guiying, you are truly my benefactor!"
"Hey, I was just saying."
"Can I come over tomorrow with my camera and take pictures of the shop? I want to make a promotional brochure."
Mr. Zhang is a natural businessman; he understands things instantly. Liang Guiying thought to herself, "If I befriend someone like him, I might be able to make some money myself in the future."
"I expect to open in late September. I hope Mr. Zhang will bring his staff to support me then."
"Of course, of course. If there's anything you need me to do, Sister Guiying, just let me know."
“Well, I really do need Mr. Zhang's help with something.” Liang Guiying said with a smile, “I’m about to open my business, and I wanted to print some flyers and distribute them around the city, but I’m all alone right now, so I can only distribute flyers and can’t do anything else…”
"That's easy! Let's do something not so easy!"
Liang Guiying laughed heartily: "Mr. Zhang is so generous, then I won't stand on ceremony. I'll send two more workers with me to the glass factory. I want to buy a batch of glass cups there, but we don't have enough manpower to transport them..."
Before Boss Zhang could speak, Gao Yongde's voice rang out from outside: "No matter how capable Boss Zhang is, he only has two hands. Sister Guiying, can you give me some work? I'm very capable too."
"Yes, yes, Director Gao is capable. Sister Guiying, you should quickly assign him the most difficult job."
Liang Guiying rented a house from Gao Yongde's cousin. Fearing that Boss Zhang and his gang would mess up the house, Gao Yongde would come to check on it every two days.
After visiting a few times, I felt that Boss Zhang and his team were very meticulous in their work, and they even had blueprints, making very clear plans. They were also very open and honest. Over time, the two of us became acquainted.
Of course, one of them was a factory director of a state-owned enterprise, and the other was a bricklayer. It was impossible to say that they had a very good relationship. But these days, it's enough for people from different classes to just know each other and be able to chat for a bit.
After exchanging a few jokes, Boss Zhang realized that Gao Yongde must have something important to discuss with Liang Guiying, so he tactfully left first: "Sister Guiying, you're going to pick up glass cups tomorrow, right? Then we'll meet at the glass factory."
After Boss Zhang left, Gao Yongde immediately stopped smiling.
