Chapter 151: Emergency
Seeing the cunning in her eyes, Cheng Yuntian reached out and pinched her cheek: "Then hurry up and tell me. With this excuse, I can stall Old Cheng for a while."
"I think it would be good to set up window displays in Baby Paradise and Youbei to sell the products." Jiang Lili thought it would be even better if it could be turned into a vending machine.
"Then the sales volume shouldn't be that big, right?" Cheng Yuntian felt a little disappointed.
"Sister Cheng, don't underestimate children's purchasing power. I've done some research and found that toy stores near kindergartens and primary schools have monthly sales at least two to three times higher than those in shopping malls. Baby Paradise has quite a few customers every day." Jiang Lili spoke directly with data.
"Then let's try it with Baby Paradise first? But what you just said to Sister Mei about continuing to open branches is true? Didn't you say before that you would not expand for the time being?" Cheng Yuntian looked at her with some confusion.
"Let's make some promises first. If many people come to Youbei, we can consider opening another baby park nearby." Jiang Lili feels that she is now a qualified businessman, and making some promises is just one of her skills.
Cheng Yuntian was amused by the word "pie in the sky," then nodded and said seriously, "That makes sense. Since Sister Mei is willing to join, it seems I need to speed up and find a suitable place."
"If possible, it's better to buy than rent." Jiang Lili reminded, you know, in another twenty years, housing prices will take off.
"Of course. I'll do it as soon as possible." Cheng Yuntian estimated that it would take a year before Youbei could officially start accepting students.
"Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you, Sister Cheng." Next up were the decoration and various professionals. Jiang Lili felt that the half year she had mentioned before was not enough.
"By the way, the factory needs to add a few more computers. Can you take some time to ask Lu Hongzhe and others to give us some suggestions? Also, there seems to be some problem with the system in the office." Cheng Yuntian said.
"Didn't Brother Jiang leave his number before? Just call them directly." Jiang Lili remembered that Jiang Liangbo left them their office number last time.
"You reminded me. I asked Xiaobai to contact them." Cheng Yuntian almost forgot about this.
"Where are we going now?" Jiang Lili asked.
"I'll go home and ask Lao Lu if he has any suitable places to recommend. What about you?" Cheng Yuntian asked her.
"Then I'll go home first." The next thing Jiang Lili needed to prepare was the recruitment standards.
"Then I'll take you home first." Cheng Yuntian said as he started the car. Now that she had a project to work on, Old Cheng probably wouldn't nag her about going on blind dates every day.
The early childhood education center needs a lot of professionals. After having lunch at home, Jiang Lili went to the job market, mingling with a bunch of people looking for jobs and listening to everyone's complaints. After spending an afternoon in the job market, she had a certain understanding of the place, which would make it convenient for her to come here in advance to recruit people.
After returning from the job market, Jiang Lili went to Baby Paradise. Now the customer flow has basically stabilized. As the weather gradually turns cooler, the sales of soda in the parents' waiting area have begun to decline compared to the summer vacation period. This is normal.
Wang Hong was a little nervous. In her opinion, in addition to the weather, there was a more important reason: Zhang Yue had left, so she couldn't help but feel a little nervous when facing Jiang Lili.
"Due to the weather, sales will probably continue to decline. It doesn't matter, they are still our main customers." Jiang Lili's gaze fell on the group of children who were preparing to go up the slide, and his eyes reminded her that they were the most important.
It was still early when Jiang Lili came out of the Baby Paradise, so she went to the cram school next door. As soon as she entered, she saw Jiang Qitong at the front desk. In order to let her grandfather relax, Tongtong would come to the cram school with her aunt on weekends.
"Sister Lili, why are you here?" The person who was doing homework was surprised to see her face.
"I came to see you. Have you finished your homework? Do you want to go home with me?" Jiang Lili said as he rubbed her head.
"No, my mom said that my foundation is worse than that of my classmates, so I have to finish these every day." Jiang Qitong sighed. When she was in Yuncheng, she was still the best in the class. Unexpectedly, in Jingshi, she was almost at the bottom of the class. Such a gap made her very uncomfortable for a while, but fortunately now she has begun to slowly accept this fact.
"Then keep up the good work!" Jiang Lili didn't know what else to say except this, after all, everyone was so excited at this time.
"Then after I finish my homework, can you jump rope with me?" Although Jiang Qitong has grown up, her favorite thing is still jumping rope. Unfortunately, she has been in Beijing for so long, but no one jumps rope with her.
"Of course, then you write it, I'll wait for you here." Jiang Lili said as she stood up and prepared to look around. To be honest, she had been here once when the shop opened.
Unlike her place, this place is not fully connected, but divided into small classrooms. There are people taking classes in every classroom now, and it is almost full. It seems that Zhou Qingfen's cram school is doing better than she imagined.
She scanned the small classrooms and was thinking about how to decorate the classrooms in the early childhood education center. The colors should still be bright, and they should also be equipped with some game facilities.
"Sister Lili, I'm done. Let's go." Jiang Qitong walked to her side and said in a low voice.
Jiang Lili, whose thoughts were interrupted, lowered her eyes and glanced at the person in front of her, then nodded and said, "Well, let's go."
The two sisters came out of the cram school and went straight back to Huajianlouji. Without even going upstairs, Jiang Qitong couldn't wait to take out the rubber band and handed it to her: "Sister Lili, let's get started!"
"We're still missing one person." When I was in Yuncheng before, I could just find a place to lend me a stool, but that's not possible now.
"Yes, I would have forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it. It's better to live in a cotton mill." Jiang Qitong's tone was full of nostalgia.
"Want to go back?" Jiang Lili saw through her homesickness at a glance.
"I miss my dad." Jiang Qitong whispered.
"It's almost time, he will be here soon. Come on, let's find someone else, maybe we can jump soon." Although she didn't cry, Jiang Lili felt that she looked more miserable than if she had cried.
Unfortunately, the place where I usually see children playing everywhere was deserted today. Instead, Lu Hongzhe, who had just returned, looked at them in confusion, "What are you looking for?"
"Brother Hongzhe, can you help me stretch the rubber band?" Jiang Qitong spoke quickly when she saw this.
Lu Hongzhe's eyes fell on the rubber band in Jiang Lili's hand and he couldn't help but laugh. It turned out that she was looking for someone. Under Jiang Qitong's expectant eyes, he nodded: "Okay."
The two stood at one end, stretching the rubber band. Jiang Qitong danced and sang in the middle. Jiang Lili suddenly remembered a similar situation back in Yuncheng, but Lu Jiaze had done the stretching. She couldn't help but raise her lip at the thought. Tongtong would have something to brag about when she grew up. In the plot, one of these two men was the male lead, the other a big boss. Now, both of them had stretched the rubber band for her.
Perhaps her smile was too obvious, and the phone in her pocket started to ring. She opened it and saw that it was a message from the person on the other end: "What are you laughing at?"
What a joke! She was right in front of him, and he was still texting her. Was he complaining about the high phone bill? Even though she thought so, she pursed her lips and still chose to reply. "Guess?"
The two of them kept chatting and texting each other until Jiang Qitong got tired of dancing. She walked over to Jiang Lili and said, "Sister Lili, let's go back."
Jiang Lili put away her phone and glanced at her: "Not dancing anymore?"
"No more dancing." Jiang Qitong nodded.
"Go ahead, first go and retrieve the rubber band on the other end." She didn't move, but just nodded towards that side.
"Okay." Jiang Qitong trotted over and looked up and said, "Brother Hongzhe, I'm done dancing. Thank you."
Lu Hongzhe pulled the rubber band off his body and looked at her with a smile: "Next time you need someone to stretch the rubber band, you can call me."
"Really?" Jiang Qitong was a little surprised. You know, few classmates in the class like to stretch rubber bands, and she didn't expect that he would be willing to do so.
"Of course." Lu Hongzhe said and rubbed her head.
"Great." Jiang Qitong ran to Jiang Lili with a good look on her face, "Sister Lili, can you help me stretch the rubber band next time we're on vacation?"
"If I have time." Jiang Lili looked up at the person over there when she said this. Is he so free on the weekend?
"I'll definitely have time." Jiang Qitong finished collecting the rubber bands and turned to say goodbye to Lu Hongzhe. She changed her words and said, "Brother Hongzhe, do you want to go home and sit for a while?"
The two people beside him were stunned when they heard this. Lu Hongzhe was the first to come back to his senses: "Is this too disturbing?"
Although he was talking to Jiang Qitong, his eyes were fixed on Jiang Lili. Unfortunately, the little girl didn't understand what he meant and just nodded repeatedly: "Of course not." After saying that, he didn't forget to look at the person next to him for approval: "Sister Lili, you are right, right?"
"Of course, let's go and see if grandpa is still watching TV at home." Jiang Lili did not avoid his gaze. She raised her eyes and looked at him before slowly lowering her eyes and holding Jiang Qitong's hand.
"Yes, my mother asked me to remind grandpa not to stay at home all the time." After saying this, Jiang Qitong slapped her head and rushed home.
The person who was half a step behind quickly caught up with the one in front. He didn't say anything and just followed her. Jiang Lili couldn't help but feel her heart beating faster. She tilted her head to look at him and whispered, "Didn't you go to the company today?"
"I just came back and heard from Sister Cheng that you are planning to open an early childhood education center?" Lu Hongzhe asked.
"If everything goes well, it will be launched next year." Jiang Lili said with joy.
"Is there anything I can help with?" Lu Hongzhe asked seriously.
"Yes, but not now." Seeing that he mentioned it on his own initiative, Jiang Lili responded readily.
"Then just tell me when you need it." Lu Hongzhe's tone was rare and gentle.
"You said it, I won't be polite." Jiang Lili turned her head and looked at him, just in time to see the tenderness in his eyes.
"Of course, I always keep my word." Lu Hongzhe curled the corners of his lips towards her.
"Okay, I'll take note." Jiang Lili quickly turned her head away. Feeling her heartbeat quicken, she couldn't help but quicken her pace. She shouted in her heart, "Hold on, Jiang Lili, isn't it just a gentle smile? What's so good about it?"
Seeing the person in front walking faster and faster, the people behind were a little confused, but they also quickened their pace.
When they arrived, Tongtong was pulling Jiang Jianyi to go for a walk downstairs. The old man's eyes fell on Lu Hongzhe, and then he changed his mind: "Hongzhe, play chess with me."
"It's OK as long as Grandpa Jiang doesn't mind that I play poorly." Lu Hongzhe quickly followed the old man away.
Jiang Lili had just sat down on the sofa when her phone rang. She glanced at it and saw it was the number of the store downstairs, Baby Paradise. As soon as the call was connected, she heard Wang Hong's panicked voice: "Lili, two children were arguing and fighting over something. One of the children got a broken head and is bleeding profusely."
