When Song Anping saw that his second uncle's family had been chosen by the inn, he felt a surge of jealousy and anger. He opened his mouth, but couldn't stop them.
Several classmates exchanged glances, their eyes filled with anticipation for a good show. "Brother Anping, your second uncle is really something else. If he becomes successful in the future, don't forget your brothers!" someone said, adding fuel to the fire.
Song Anping's face was grim, and despite his best efforts to feign it, a hint of hatred still showed. "Please stop joking, everyone. It's just that the shop manager is kind-hearted, and all the contestants are treated the same way."
Whether trying to convince his classmates or himself, Song Anping simply couldn't accept the rise of the second branch of the family. Especially given his second uncle's attitude today, it was clear he had become estranged from the Song family.
Song Dahe led his family to the guest room, where they encountered Song Anping. The family, who had been chatting and laughing, fell silent. Looking at his wife, who seemed about to speak but hesitated, he suddenly regretted his past tendency to compromise.
"Don't worry, I've come to terms with it. I won't have any more illusions about that place. Our family will live a good life from now on."
"Okay!" Hui Niang replied with heartache.
The ice sculpture competition was held the day after the opening ceremony. For some reason, Song Anping, who had originally planned to go back that day, gritted his teeth and booked a room for himself. He wanted to see just how far his second uncle could go.
The new guests were amazed by the wonders of the place. They had heard rumors and thought they were exaggerations, but they were surprised to find that the wonders here were even greater than the rumors suggested.
Fairy Garden and Holy Spring remain the most popular attractions. Fortunately, Ango has limited the number of visitors to ensure a good experience, otherwise Fairy Garden would probably be packed.
Ango does not plan to open the newly appeared buildings immediately, firstly because there is not enough manpower to train and arrange, and secondly because no merchants have moved into the mall yet.
After thinking for a while, An Ge decided to consult with Yun Mo. It must be said that Yun Mo had provided considerable assistance in her business development, which was one of the reasons he favored the Jingshi Chamber of Commerce.
At this moment, Yunmo was happily humming a tune in his newly furnished suite. The money spent on this opening ceremony was well worth it; he could foresee that from today onwards, the status of the Jingshi Chamber of Commerce as the number one chamber of commerce in the Daye Kingdom would be even more solidified.
To Yunmo's surprise, something even better was waiting for him.
"You mean you're planning to rent out a stall in the mall?"
"As you can see, the number of guests at the inn will increase in the future, and the supermarket alone will not be able to meet everyone's needs. It is imperative to add new shops."
Yunmo nodded. He had heard many merchants mention wanting to open shops near the inn. If the shopkeeper announced that he was renting out stalls, he was sure that many people would want to rent them.
"The store manager called me here for more than just to tell me this news, didn't he?"
An Ge smiled. Yun Mo was as sensible as ever. "How about I take you to see the mall first?"
Yunmo was a little puzzled, but seeing that Ange didn't seem to be explaining, he wasn't in a hurry and simply followed Ange into the mall.
He was genuinely surprised to see hundreds of empty shops in the mall. Yunmo had assumed that the stalls An Ge mentioned would be like those in the studio today, but he hadn't expected it to be like this.
If Yunmo were to open his shop here, he could foresee how popular it would be.
"This place is perfect, we'll take the whole floor downstairs." Yunmo waved his hand magnanimously, leaving An Ge speechless for a while.
"A full package deal is out of the question. But would you be interested in helping with attracting businesses?"
Seeing Yunmo's confusion, Ange explained, "From now on, there will be corresponding regulations for the sales types of each shop here. You are quite familiar with the various shops in Huaixi City. Would you be interested in acting as the matchmaker?"
Yunmo said somewhat uncertainly, "You mean you want me to talk to those bosses? But why would I want to create competitors for myself?" Although he was grateful to An Ge, business is business, and he wouldn't easily compromise when it came to taking things seriously.
He knew that this was precisely why An Ge felt more comfortable around him.
"You can choose any location in the mall, and we'll offer a 20% discount on the rent. How about it?"
Yunmo was somewhat tempted. "Then I'll choose a few good ones." Their chamber of commerce's business covers a wide range of areas.
"Deal!" An Ge declared decisively.
Soon, news of the Fairy Tale Mall's recruitment of tenants spread among the merchants. The merchants discussed it enthusiastically, but with the ice sculpture competition approaching, no further details about the recruitment were available.
Some well-informed businessmen learned that the Jingshi Chamber of Commerce was also involved in the matter, and they all approached Yunmo.
"Young Master Yun, please tell us more. What exactly is going on with this shopping mall?" They had noticed the changes when they went to the supermarket, and the quick-thinking ones immediately realized something, becoming more and more excited as they thought about it.
"Young Master Yun, does this mean we can move our shop to a shopping mall in the future?"
Upon hearing this, the merchant, who had been puzzled, suddenly understood and was overjoyed. "If that's the case, that's wonderful! Young Master Yun, please tell us more about it!"
Yunmo, unlike her usual carefree self in front of An Ge, said, "Why are you all in such a hurry? After the event, you can naturally choose your favorite shop." This was an acknowledgment of what everyone was saying.
While everyone was happy, some worries inevitably arose.
Judging from what Young Master Yun said, this shop location is not easy to get. I wonder what the price is and whether I can afford it.
The group asked a few more questions, but Yunmo dodged them, seemingly saying a lot but offering no useful information. The group sighed, impressed; no wonder he was the next heir to the Jingshi Chamber of Commerce, his words were truly impeccable.
Watching the crowd leave in disappointment, Yun Mo smiled. The unknown is what sparks discussion, allowing investment opportunities to spread faster and wider.
The business negotiations only generated buzz among businessmen; most tourists were captivated by the inn's remarkable feats. Television, of course, once again became everyone's favorite medium.
What left An Ge speechless was that, despite the martial arts dramas having been airing for quite some time, the public's enthusiasm remained undiminished; the series "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" had been rebroadcast countless times.
The new rebroadcast had just ended, and An Ge had no intention of doing it again. She posted a notice informing everyone of the upcoming television schedule.
"Is this a replay of the opening ceremony? The store manager's methods are getting more and more impressive. Not only can he play the performance in real time, but he can also capture people's images."
"How could mortals possibly imagine the methods of immortals? I'm more interested in 'Journey to the West,' I wonder what kind of good show it will be?"
"I wanted to watch 'The Smiling, Proud Wanderer' again, but the store manager isn't replaying it anymore," someone said with some regret.
"When has the store manager ever let us down?"
"That's true."
The new guests, listening to the conversation, became even more curious about the television. When they turned it on, they exclaimed in surprise.
"Dad, Mom, look, it's me! I'm inside!" Song Ankang clapped his little hands excitedly.
Song Dahe and Huiniang watched their chubby-cheeked son on TV, their eyes filled with tears of joy. "Good, our Kang'er is so lucky, this is wonderful."
Wu Ziyue and the other performers were initially a little embarrassed when they saw themselves on TV. After a while, they watched seriously, trying to improve their performance next time.
