Chapter 387: Opening a Department Store



Three days later.

evening.

Just after dinner at the Yun family's house, village party secretary Yun Jianhua and women's director Xu Yaqing came to visit.

"Uncle Yun, Aunt Yun, Madam Chu, everyone is enjoying the cool breeze."

Yun Jianhua walked into the yard of the old Yun family with a smile on his face.

Looking at his smiling face and good spirits, you can tell that good things are going to happen.

"Jianhua and Yaqing are here, come in and sit down."

Mei Cuiping greeted him.

Yun Yongcheng hurriedly got up and went to the main room to get a chair.

I happened to buy some watermelons in the city today and froze them in the well.

After Yun Yongcheng brought a chair, he cut a plate of watermelon and placed it under the watermelon rack.

"Wow, this watermelon is so sweet."

Yun Jianhua took a bite of the sweet and cool watermelon, and his mood improved. His eyes fell on Yun Yongcheng, and he said happily: "Yongcheng, I have good news for you."

Upon hearing this, everyone present stared at him in unison.

Yun Yongcheng: "What good news is this that makes you so happy, Secretary?"

Yun Jianhua continued cheerfully, "A department store is going to open in our town. It's a government-introduced department store. Yaqing and I went to the town for a meeting today. The mayor said that this department store will be even bigger than the supply and marketing cooperative in our town. It will sell vegetables, clothes, jewelry, and all kinds of goods. There will also be stalls for rent in the mall, but it's very difficult to rent a stall there. I think your braised meat is very good, so I recommended you to the mayor. If you want to rent a container in the department store to sell braised meat, you can go to the town in person to talk to the mayor. When you go, bring some braised meat so that the mayor can taste it. It will be more convincing."

After Yun Jianhua finished speaking, everyone present was excited, except for Yun Aiguo and his wife, who didn't understand business and didn't dare to take risks.

After Lu Feng finished being excited, a hint of anticipation appeared in his eyes.

He invested in Yun Yongcheng's braised meat business and followed Yun Yongcheng around, mainly because he thought Yun Yongcheng was a good person. Anyway, he helped Yun Yongcheng when he had nothing to do, and he never thought about making a lot of money.

But after more than half a month, I found that the braised meat business was getting better and better, and the money I made was getting more and more. Now there is even hope of moving into a department store.

If this momentum continues, maybe he will really make a lot of money in the future, maybe he will really become a major shareholder.

"Brother Yongcheng, the department store is really open now. The customer flow is better than the supply and marketing cooperative. The department store is full of prime stalls. You can consider it."

Yun Yongcheng thought so too.

"Thank you, Secretary and Sister Yaqing, for your recommendation. Yongcheng is deeply grateful."

Feeling that his words of thanks were too pale and powerless, Yun Yongcheng stood up and bowed slightly to Yun Jianhua and Xu Yaqing.

"Brother Yongcheng, what are you doing?"

Xu Yaqing hurriedly stopped him.

"You're treating us like outsiders by doing this. The Party Secretary and I recommended you to the town because your braised meat tastes really good. Whether you can successfully enter the department store depends on you and the Lu Feng brothers. Party Secretary Yun and I are just creating an opportunity for you two."

Mei Cuiping hesitated for a moment before asking, "Secretary Yun, Yaqing, how much does it cost per month to rent a stall in a department store?"

Yun Jianhua thought for a moment and replied, "I can't be sure right now. I'll have to wait until the department store opens to determine. Department stores with high customer traffic might charge more for rent, while those with low customer traffic might charge less. I estimate it'll be at least fifty to one hundred yuan a month."

“It’s so expensive.”

After Yun Jianhua finished speaking, Yun Aiguo and his wife were shocked and sighed at the same time.

After listening for a long time, Madam Chu smiled and said, "Xiao Pingzi, Aiguo, don't get excited yet. A higher rent is actually a good thing. Yongcheng's braised meat tastes good, and the department store has a lot of customers. That little rent can be earned back in a day. If you want to make a lot of money, don't be reluctant to spend that little money."

After Mrs. Chu said this, Mei Cuiping and her husband finally calmed down.

Yun Yongcheng: "Secretary, Sister Yaqing, when would be a good time for Brother Lu Feng and I to go to the town? Can you make an appointment with the mayor for us?"

Yun Jianhua: "It's an appointment. It's July 3rd, the weekend. The town is closed. You can go directly to his home in town."

As he spoke, Yun Jianhua took out a piece of paper from his pocket. On the note was the address and phone number of his home in town. He handed the note to Yun Yongcheng.

"Here's the address and phone number of the mayor's house. Before you go, call the town first."

"Okay, thank you, Secretary."

Yun Yongcheng took the note and carefully put it into the chest pocket of his shirt.

On July 2nd, I accompanied Xiaoyu to the May Fourth Square to watch the temple fair, and on July 3rd, I went to visit the town with Brother Lu Feng, so the timings were just right.

In a blink of an eye, summer vacation is here.

On July 2nd, Yun Yongcheng got up at around six in the morning and tidied himself up.

Yunmian changed into the blue princess dress, and with the help of her grandma, she braided her hair. She dressed up beautifully and went to the door of her father's room to peek at him.

Grandma said that Dad has been looking at himself in the mirror for almost ten minutes.

"Dad, you look so handsome today."

The sound of milk came into the house.

Yun Yongcheng looked towards the door following the sound and noticed the little girl lying at the door.

"Mianmian, is daddy really that handsome?"

Today was his first date with Xiaoyu, and he took it very seriously, so he got up at six in the morning to get ready, and at the same time thought about how to have fun at the temple fair today.

"handsome."

Yun Mian answered without hesitation, looking at her father with sparkling eyes, like her father's little fan girl.

"Dad, you and Aunt Qin standing together like this, just like... just like the golden boy and jade girl in the picture."

After hearing what his little girl said, Yun Yongcheng curled up the corners of his mouth and was finally satisfied with his appearance.

After breakfast, the father and daughter were about to go to the community building next door to invite Lu Feng and Xiao Sanye. Mei Cuiping chased them to the door and warned them, "Yongcheng, it's so hot, bring an umbrella. Don't let Xiaoyu and Mianmian get sunburned."

Mei Cuiping stuffed a large black umbrella into her son's hand.

"Take good care of Xiaoyu and Mianmian. The weather is so hot, remember to buy water for Xiaoyu and Mianmian..."

Mei Cuiping talked a lot and never stopped.

Seeing that five minutes had passed, Yun Aiguo grabbed his wife and walked towards the kitchen.

"Hey, what are you pulling me for, old man? I haven't finished what I'm saying yet."

Yun Aiguo: "When you finish speaking, your daughter-in-law will become someone else's daughter-in-law. Yongcheng is such a grown-up, and he likes Xiaoyu so much, how could he not know how to take care of Xiaoyu? You, an old woman, should worry less. Look at your white hair."

"My hair is gray, do you dislike me? Thank you, Yun Aiguo, I finally see through you."

Yun Yongcheng and his daughter shook their heads and sighed helplessly, then walked out hand in hand towards the community house next door.
