Chapter 74 Preparation for Opening a Store

He Tao was already waiting there when he carried Gu Xiaoxi downstairs. When he saw Zhou Nuan, he happily called out, "Sister-in-law!"

Then he saw Gu Xiyue, "Brother Yue... Hey, Xiao Xixi, are you going with us? Xiao Xixi, do you miss your Uncle Tao?"

Gu Xiaoxi turned her head and saw He Tao with a fawning look on his face. Her little mouth pouted and she burst into tears.

He Tao's mouth twitched: Does he look that scary?

Zhou Nuan felt a little relieved. It seemed that little Gu Xiaoxi treated everyone equally except her father.

When they arrived at the department store, Gu Xiaoxi finally recognized her as her biological mother and gave her a shameless smile. However, as soon as they got out of the car, she still wanted her father to hold her.

Zhou Nuan was happy and relaxed. Gu Xiaoxi already weighed almost 15 or 16 kilograms, so it would be best if she didn't want him to hold her.

There was no need for He Tao to follow them, and the family of three walked towards the department store.

It was about three in the afternoon, and there were not many people coming and going in front of the department store. The sign at the door that read "Let's have fun together" was put up again. A young man dressed in trendy clothes was singing on the stage, and people in the audience were shouting, "Singing is so boring, let's do some of the show from that day!"

Zhou Nuan was a little surprised. It had been almost half a month, but she didn't expect that everyone still remembered it so clearly and kept talking about it.

Gu Xiyue's expression remained the same, only his slightly raised eyebrows showed that he was in a good mood.

After entering the building and going to the clothing area on the second floor, they saw employees of the department store. After some greetings, they were taken to an empty store.

The store is not big, but its location is great, facing the stairs, so people can see it at a glance when they come up.

Zhou Nuan was very satisfied: this kind of location is usually difficult to rent, but it was given to her, which shows that he really has a good impression of her.

She asked about the price in detail, and it was a little higher than she had imagined, but still affordable. The key was that this position was priceless, so she thought about it for a moment and decided on it without hesitation.

After agreeing on a date to sign the contract, the group walked out. Zhou Nuan noticed at a glance that there was a store under renovation across from her, and she couldn't help but take a few glances out of curiosity.

The staff member saw her stop and followed her gaze. "Oh, the company across the street also wants to rent this location, but our leader has not agreed. But when he heard that Ms. Zhou wanted to rent it, he agreed without hesitation."

"It seems that the family also runs a garment factory."

Oh... But in Haicheng and Mushi, there are quite a few garment factories, large and small, so this is not a coincidence.

She didn't take it seriously, looked away and left. After saying goodbye to the staff, she saw that the time was not too long, so she decided to go shopping again. It was getting colder, and she needed to buy more clothes for the children. Children grow fast, especially Xiaoxi and Xiaodong. The clothes they bought would not be able to wear them for more than two or three months.

Along the way, Gu Xiaoxi kept looking around with her round eyes open curiously, especially when she saw the sparkling little things, she couldn't take her eyes off them, and stretched out her hands and called out "Oh".

Zhou Nuan took a look and saw that it was a plastic hairpin decorated with colorful beads that sparkled under the light.

“...” No way, Gu Xixi, you’re only five months old, and your preferences are already so obvious?

Gu Xiyue also noticed his precious daughter's expression of wanting something, and picked up the hairpin casually, "Want this?"

"Ahh." Gu Xiaoxi screamed a few times, his saliva was about to flow down.

Zhou Nuan held her forehead with her hand, "No, Gu Xixi, you only have a few hairs? Can you wear it?"

"It will grow longer slowly. If you like it, buy it. If you can't wear it, just play with it." Gu Xiyue called the salesperson over and glanced at Zhou Nuan. Seeing that she was staring at the hairpin with an indescribable expression, he asked, "Do you like it too? How about buying a few more?"

Zhou Nuan refused, "No, this is too ugly, only children like this."

"Ugly?" Gu Xiyue looked at the shiny hairpin in confusion. The father and daughter stared at her with the same eyes, "I think it's okay, quite pretty."

Zhou Nuan: “…” As long as you are happy.

"Please, two." Gu Xiyue called the salesperson.

The salesperson hesitated, "Sir, this one is 80, it's an imported colored crystal."

80 each? Zhou Nuan looked at the hairpin again and thought: What colorful crystals? They are just worthless stones. Only foreigners can make money from them.

Gu Xiyue said, "It's okay, my daughter likes it, please wrap it for me."

Zhou Nuan naturally wouldn't object, as long as Gu Xiaoxi was happy.

After paying the money, the family left happily, not noticing that a cold gaze was following them closely.

Sun Meixiang didn't show up until Zhou Nuan and the others left in the car. Her face almost twisted as she watched the jeep drive away.

She just couldn't understand why that bitch Zhou Nuan was so lucky. The situation that was obviously settled was turned around. She could only say that God helped her and she was lucky.

But she just hated it! After this incident, the damn old man blamed her for the mistake, beat her up, and almost abandoned her. If she hadn't been so humble and servile, maybe this time it would really be over.

Of course she knew that the old man was reluctant to part with her young body, but she didn't care. As long as she had money, she would pay anything. But since then, the old man has become more and more stingy with her. Today, she finally served him to his satisfaction and he threw thirty yuan at her.

Thirty yuan couldn't buy anything good, but after she followed old man Fan, she was used to spending lavishly, and she looked down on the things she used to use. She felt that other street goods were not worthy of her except those in the department store. So, even though she didn't have much money, she still came to the department store to feast her eyes.

Only here, seeing the sales clerks greeting her respectfully, gave her a secret sense of being the best.

I just didn't expect to see these two annoying people here. What's even more hateful is that the country bumpkin Zhou Nuan is not only not country anymore, but has also transformed himself into a boss who rents a store in a department store!

That colorful crystal hairpin was imported from abroad. She had her eyes on it for a long time, but it was really expensive and the old man had refused to buy it for her. She would come to take a look at it every time she came, and each time she would look at it for a long time and was reluctant to leave.

They actually bought that little brat a colorful crystal hairpin, and they bought two at a time!! She was so excited that she couldn't swallow it!!

This kind of life, this freedom to buy whatever she wants, this kind of luck should be hers, but now she can only please Cheng Huan under a man old enough to be her father in exchange for a little money.

God is really unfair. Can she just watch that bitch being so proud?

Wait, isn't she going to open a shop and be the boss? Since she is doing business, she must serve the customers first.

Sun Meixiang suddenly came up with an idea.
