“Yes, yes, let’s go quickly.” Peng Cuiying nodded repeatedly.
The scene of those bastards coming to their house to collect debts because Jiang Qiaoqiao was in debt is still fresh in their minds.
She didn't want to go through that again.
She quickly pulled Jiang Yiran away.
Qin Haiyang frowned slightly as he looked at the bustling clothing store.
He learned from Jiang Rou that the Jiang family had investigated Huo Beixiao's cement factory. Judging from the factory's profits, Jiang Qiaoqiao shouldn't need to borrow money to open such a clothing store.
Could the people guarding the debt collector be someone Jiang Qiaoqiao deliberately arranged?
He originally intended to tell Peng Cuiying about his conjecture.
But after thinking about it, I think it's more likely that Huo Beixiao didn't give Jiang Qiaoqiao any money at all, or even that Huo Beixiao didn't support Jiang Qiaoqiao in doing business.
After all, he didn't intend to tell Jiang Yiran his true financial situation.
No man in the world would be foolish enough to truthfully report how much money he earns to a woman, let alone hand over all his earnings to her.
Thinking about it this way, he realized that it wasn't impossible for Jiang Qiaoqiao to have opened the shop by borrowing money at high interest rates.
"Boss, the man has been sent away." Guo Tao hurriedly went back to report.
"Okay." Huo Beixiao responded, "Keep a close eye on things. Today is Qiaoqiao's grand opening day, and we won't allow anyone to cause trouble for her."
"Don't worry, boss, the brothers are all keeping an eye on things. They definitely won't let any outsiders interfere with your wife's business," Guo Tao said confidently.
Jiang Qiaoqiao was completely unaware that the Jiang family had visited.
She was busy until almost one o'clock, when all the customers had gone home for lunch, before she finally had a chance to sit down.
After running around and talking all morning, she felt like her hands and legs were about to give out, and her throat was about to burst.
Once she sat down, she really didn't want to move at all.
Tong Xuejiao slumped down next to her, "Qiaoqiao, you really reminded me of the time when I first started doing business after returning to Haishi. It was just... so tiring..."
Tong Xuejiao said with her eyes closed, feeling so tired that she didn't even have the strength to open her eyelids.
"Sister Xuejiao, thank you for your hard work today..."
Jiang Qiaoqiao was about to express her gratitude to Tong Xuejiao.
Before she could finish speaking, a cup was brought to her lips, and then a deep, magnetic voice came from behind her, "Stop talking, drink some water to moisten your throat."
She was indeed very thirsty, and with Huo Beixiao's help, she drank the entire glass of water in one gulp.
Just as she was about to continue speaking, a spoonful of braised pork rice was fed to her mouth. "Eat your fill first."
Tong Xuejiao opened her eyes and saw this scene, her eyes filled with resentment. "Hey, Huo Beixiao, I've worked so hard to help your wife, and now you only give her water and food. You don't care about me at all. Don't you have a conscience?"
Huo Beixiao gave her a rare look, saying, "Water and food are on the table. Eat by yourself."
Tong Xuejiao rolled her eyes at Huo Beixiao, "Fine, I won't eat or drink then. It's just one meal, I won't starve!"
"Just eat it!" Tong Xuejiao said, but before she could even close her mouth, a spoonful of rice was suddenly stuffed into her mouth.
She stared wide-eyed at the man sitting opposite her, feeding her, her pupils dilating as if she had seen a ghost.
"Cough cough cough..."
After the food slid uncontrollably down her throat, she coughed violently and even tried to scoop it out with her hand.
Yan Heqing frowned upon seeing her like this. "What's wrong? Are you stuck?"
She shook her head, then looked up at Yan Heqing in horror, "You...you...did you poison the food?"
Yan Heqing was speechless for a moment, then angrily shoved the spoon into the lunchbox. "Yes, I poisoned it! I shouldn't have been kind and felt sorry for you. I was just being presumptuous!"
After saying that, Yan Heqing got up and left.
Tong Xuejiao looked at his retreating figure, feeling completely bewildered. "This is inexplicable."
The next moment, she eagerly picked up the lunchbox from the small table. "But this food is so delicious! I've never had this taste and cooking method before. Which restaurant served it?"
Jiang Qiaoqiao said with a smile, "This wasn't from a restaurant, my mom made it."
Tong Xuejiao scooped another big mouthful and couldn't help but give a thumbs up, saying, "Auntie's cooking is really good."
Hearing this, Lin Xiaohui smiled kindly and said, "If you like it, come to my house often, and I'll cook it for you."
Tong Xuejiao was too tired and had no appetite just now.
But by now his appetite had been fully whetted, and with his mouth full of food, he nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, Auntie, then I won't be polite. I'll definitely come to your house for meals often in the future."
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Huo Beixiao looked intently at Jiang Qiaoqiao and said, "Qiaoqiao, there aren't many people in the shop right now. Why don't you go upstairs and rest for a while? I'll stay here and watch the place."
Jiang Qiaoqiao shook her head. "No need. You don't understand the fabrics and styles of those clothes. You won't be able to introduce them to guests later."
I'll just take a nap in this chair. Xuejiao, you and Yangyang and Yingzi go upstairs and rest for a while.
Tong Xuejiao yawned. "I'm full, and I'm actually a little sleepy. I'll go upstairs and take a nap. If you get busy later, just call me."
Zhou Yang said, "Sister Qiao, I don't need to rest. I'm full of energy!"
Although Luo Yingzi grew up in the countryside, she was the youngest in her family and a girl, so she was pampered by her family from a young age.
I've never been this tired in my entire life.
She originally wanted to take a break, but seeing that Jiang Qiaoqiao and Zhou Yang weren't going to rest, she, as a probationary employee, felt embarrassed to do the same.
She sat down in the rest area and said, "Sister Qiaoqiao, I don't need to rest. I'll just take a nap here."
Business was not as good in the afternoon as in the morning, but the four people in the shop were still very busy.
Fortunately, people these days don't have the habit of going out at night. By around six o'clock, the streets are already deserted.
Jiang Qiaoqiao, Zhou Yang, and Luo Yingzi took stock of the inventory together.
This inventory revealed that the summer clothes, which were 50% off, were basically sold out, and half of the autumn clothes had also been sold.
However, the three skull-themed and ripped denim outfits that Zhou Yang had his eye on at first glance went unnoticed.
Luo Yingzi said to Zhou Yang with a hint of smugness, "See? I told you, no one would buy such terrible and tattered clothes. Only a fool would spend so much money on tattered pants!"
Zhou Yang, who is usually sweet-talking and mature in front of customers, showed a bit of a childlike side at this moment: "That's because the people who came to the store today are not young people, and they don't know how to appreciate things!"
Over time, Luo Yingzi came to regard Zhou Yang as a sensible younger brother and stopped arguing with him.
Zhou Yang then looked at Jiang Qiaoqiao and asked, "Sister Qiaoqiao, the summer clothes are all gone. Will we still have a discount tomorrow?"
