Chapter 100 A New Beginning for the Shop



After acquiring the store, Chen Yun gradually began to get familiar with the people around her. Most of the military wives living here worked in government agencies. They were a bit older than Chen Yun, but they all got along well with each other.

Some of them have houses in Beijing, and since they don’t live here, they have more time to clean up their homes. She even bought green and white ping-pong chrysanthemums from the flower and bird market and put them in a glass bottle on the table, which is full of life.

When Liu Qiao returned home and saw Chen Yun's relaxed face, he couldn't help but feel happy. This is what marriage is like, finding the best solution through compromise. He felt that he really cared about her every move, and was afraid that she would be unhappy and distance herself from him.

"Honey, look at this big sea bass I steamed today. It's very, very delicious. Come over and try it." Chen Yun has a lot of time now. The new store is still being stocked, so it's not very busy.

Her hair was half dry, and Liu Qiao could still smell the fragrance when he got close to her. He rested his head on Chen Yun's shoulder and let Chen Yun drag him to the dining table. Zi Rui can eat by himself now, although he still can't hold chopsticks well, but from the beginning when he cried when he was asked to eat by himself, he has become accustomed to it now. It seems like a small action, but behind it is also Chen Yun's efforts.

Chen Yun didn't need to worry about her son, so she helped Liu Qiao pick up some food. Liu Qiao was surprised: "Why don't you eat?"

"It's because of you that I got up late. I ate too late in the morning and I'm not hungry at all now. You two can eat." Chen Yun looked at Liu Qiao with a complaining look.

Liu Qiao looked at Chen Yun with pride, and Chen Yun stuck out her tongue at him. After finishing their meal, they took their children for a walk. In the evening, there were quite a few people in the family area. Liu Qiao was a new employee but had a very high position. Everyone was in a hurry and didn't seem to notice them at all. Chen Yun had never felt this way before.

When she first came here, she felt very strange because there was no one she knew. Now she has adapted more and more. Not having anyone to care about her also means freedom. She can do whatever she wants without having to care too much about other people's opinions.

After the walk, Chen Yun and Zi Rui took a bath first. Chen Yun asked Liu Qiao to sleep with the child and told him stories. She used a sewing machine to make a beige bedspread with lace. The bedspreads she bought were not good-looking in color, so she might as well tear up the cloth and make one herself.

After sewing the lace and finishing the lining, Chen Yun shivered and instantly felt happy. Liu Qiao just happened to come out from inside and saw her like this, knowing that she had started to put her heart into it, and he was very moved.

"It's getting late, why don't we go to bed first."

Chen Yun stretched her back and said to Liu Qiao coquettishly, "Carry me over, I can't walk anymore."

Liu Qiao naturally obeyed the order. When they arrived at the new place, the couple faced a new environment. Liu Qiao came from the countryside and did not have a solid foundation like in Longcheng. So everything had to start from scratch and he had to face other people's doubts about him.

Being promoted to the position of deputy head of Beijing at such a young age, others certainly did not believe that he was a parachuted person. Liu Qiao picked up Chen Yun and revealed some of his delicate situation in front of her.

He seldom said these things before, because he was always full of confidence in Dragon City, but in a booming place like Beijing, there are many people who are more talented and capable than you. Although he is the deputy head of the group here, there are more people under him who are more capable than him.

Chen Yun comforted him: "I won't say such empty words, but I will always support you from behind. Tell me when you feel bad."

"Yes, I will. You just need to stay with me all the time." Liu Qiao smiled, and felt a lot more relieved in his heart.

Chen Yun patted Liu Qiao on the shoulder and said, "Of course I will. I have to go stock up tomorrow. By then, my gift shop will be open and I can arrange my schedule flexibly. Then I can spend more time with you and the baby."

This is exactly the life she wanted, with dad and mom accompanying their child to grow up healthy and happy.

Jingshi is very big everywhere, and there are a lot more wholesale items, much more than Longcheng. Chen Yun was almost overwhelmed by the selection, and it was her first time to spend more money on wholesale, so Chen Yun felt a little bit painful. Fortunately, she took notes and compared them, and also bought a few picture books for Zi Rui at the bookstore.

When decorating the new store, Chen Yun used a lot of girly elements. She often reads romance novels and of course knows that girls can't resist cute things.

Her layout was very clear: cute, warm, and quiet. She used most of the space to display her merchandise, and the other half had three small round tables and a few chairs. She asked Liu Qiao to help her put a sewing machine in the store, and she made a beautiful tablecloth herself.

She also often watches TV or drinks coffee while sitting there. Chen Yun herself has never drunk coffee, so while Liu Qiao was resting, the family of three went to the Beijing Foreign Trade Store to buy some coffee. Chen Yun tasted it more and felt it was a bit bitter, so she added some companion, which made it taste better.

She thought for a moment and said, "Why don't I make some delicious sweet soup myself? I can just buy a few rice cookers and cook them there."

The greater the investment, the greater the return. Even if there is no business or failure, there will still be valuable experience.

She put up a beautiful sign outside, and the name of the store was Yunyun Gift and Beverage Shop. She painted a green lawn on a cardboard box and then cut out the pictures and placed them around the light box.

On the first day of the opening, everyone was still waiting and watching, and not many people came. Some people lingered around the beautiful earring clips, and when they saw the prices, they couldn't help but feel that they were short of money. This is exactly what Chen Yun wants. If it's too cheap, she's just making a little money. She usually spends some time to display the things she buys, and even gives away gifts if you spend a certain amount of money.

For example, the earrings she bought were all very nice, but the prices were medium, and she thought the inferior ones were not good-looking either.

Some people were curious and looked at the pear stew with rock sugar that she was cooking in the rice cooker. A little girl with a cough bought a bowl and said, "Sister, when I was at home, my mother would cook for me every time I coughed. Now that I'm in college in Beijing, no one cooks for me anymore."

Most of the students who are studying in college now have pretty good family conditions. Chen Yun sells a bowl of rock sugar pear juice for two yuan. The fragrance is so refreshing that even Zi Rui can't help but want to drink it.

She is not in a hurry. Business is built up slowly, and good business requires hard work.

Unexpectedly, the second person to come in was Zhu Xiaofang. As soon as she came in, she asked, "Is there any coffee here?"

She was also obviously startled when she saw Chen Yun, "Chen Yun, why are you here?"

Chen Yun said, "My husband was transferred here, so I came here. Why are you here?"

Zhu Xiaofang smiled awkwardly: "I was sent here by the company for further studies."

"I remember you went back to your hometown?" Chen Yun was puzzled.
