Ye Yifan rented a house near a shop as employee dormitory. Li Jing and a young girl lived there, which was quite convenient.
Hua Kai admired Ye Yifan's considerations; some of them were more thorough than her own.
Li Jing is different now. She has only been working for a little over two months, but she is more confident and capable. Most importantly, the one-on-one guidance from Huakai has helped her improve very quickly.
Ye Yifan returned three days later and began preparing for the opening in a couple of days.
Ye Yifan's biological parents knew about their factory and shop, so they had to invite them. They were notified this time as well, but only two days in advance of the time and place, and they didn't need to come to help.
Ye Yifan didn't have many friends. Besides a few close confidants in the company, there was a middle-aged man named Li Hui who ran a snack bar. Ye Yifan respectfully called him Brother Li.
This person came to help out the day before the opening. Hua Kai isn't one to judge by appearances, but she really couldn't connect this person with Ye Yifan.
Ye Yifan also knew about Hua Kai's doubts and told her about this person.
It turns out that when Ye Yifan was looking for her biological parents, she was almost kidnapped and taken to an illegal coal mine. Li Hui, who was transporting timber, rescued Ye Yifan.
However, Ye Yifan was still young at that time, and in her panic, she did not get Li Hui's contact information. She only remembered his name, but there were too many people with that name, and she only met him on the street, so it was not easy to find him.
However, he kept searching for Li Hui until he started his own business, became wealthy and gained connections, and with the improved accessibility of information now, he placed an advertisement in the newspaper and finally found Li Hui two years ago.
Li Hui is a chivalrous man. A few days ago, he helped a girl who had been robbed fight back against two robbers. In a moment of carelessness, he seriously injured one of the robbers, leaving him in a vegetative state. He was then imprisoned for two years. During that time, his wife divorced him and remarried, taking their child with her. After he was released, he rented a place and opened a small restaurant to make a living.
When Ye Yifan found him, he was quite surprised. He didn't expect Ye Yifan to have been looking for him for so many years, and he didn't expect that the child could be so conscientious and promising.
However, he did not accept the money Ye Yifan offered him, nor did he go to work at Ye Yifan's factory or supermarket. He felt that he had been to prison and was not capable enough, and did not want to affect Ye Yifan. No matter what Ye Yifan said, he disagreed and insisted on doing things on his own.
Because Li Hui is a man of principle and has a strong sense of self-respect, Ye Yifan didn't dare to help him too much, for fear that he would feel uncomfortable.
I just often go to his shop to eat, see him, and talk to him.
After learning all this, Hua Kai admired Li Hui, after all, he was a kind-hearted person with a chivalrous spirit, but perhaps he was just unlucky.
Because of these things, Hua Kai respected Li Hui even more. As they talked, she realized that he was a really good person and that one should not judge a book by its cover.
Li Hui was also very kind to Hua Kai, saying that a girl who could win Ye Yifan's heart must have something special about her.
The opening day arrived quickly. It was a weekend, and since both stores were opening at the same time, Hua Kai and Ye Yifan were each in charge of one side.
To minimize the trouble for Huakai, Ye Yifan gave his parents the address of the shop he was in charge of, while his grandfather, along with his old friend and Li Hui, went to Huakai's place to help out.
In the few days since Li Jing arrived, she has already trained two people who are suitable to be store managers. Both of them used to work in sales at state-owned enterprises and were laid off this year to apply for the job. They are experienced.
Li Jing won't be able to stay in one store permanently in the future. Her current responsibility is to train store managers and sales staff, and she needs to inspect each store.
Today, Hua Kai arranged for Li Jing to stay with Ye Yifan because she was worried that Xiao He might do something inappropriate. Li Jing knew Xiao He and could be on guard.
The two stores were opened together because of the TV advertisement. The provincial capital is very big, and the two stores are quite far apart. Even without traffic jams at this time, it would still take more than 20 minutes to drive there. Therefore, the customer groups on both sides are completely different. However, one advertisement can drive the opening of two stores, so it is worthwhile no matter what.
Furthermore, the fact that they opened two stores together proves that the businesses are financially strong and not opened casually, which makes them more trustworthy.
They had previously considered opening the two stores at different times to avoid being so busy, but that would require two separate promotions, and the results might not be as good. This way, they saved half the advertising costs and gained more brand awareness.
Everything went smoothly at Huakai because Ye Jianxiao liked and was very satisfied with Huakai, and he also liked Hua Qingyi very much because of him. The old man had a wide network of connections, and many people came, so everything was going very well.
The old man's friends were all wealthy. Several of them praised the sofas and each ordered one, resulting in a total sale of six sofas.
Although Huakai told the grandfathers not to spend money, each of them was incredibly stubborn and wouldn't let her buy the item that made her angry, saying she really liked it.
Of course, today, because of some advertising and promotion, business is really good, and the provincial capital really has a much larger customer flow than the city. The turnover in just one morning exceeded five thousand.
Ye Jianxiao was also stunned by the speed at which they shipped out their goods. Each sofa cost two or three hundred yuan, and they were selling one after another. He watched as they were making several thousand yuan in sales, which was something he had never imagined.
The sales speed surprised Hua Kai, exceeding her expectations by more than 30%. Fortunately, the supply was plentiful, so Hua Kai was not worried.
Hua Kai also called Ye Yifan to ask about the situation there. It was similar to what happened here, and sales were also very good.
Around noon, Hua Kai and Ye Jianxiao went to the hotel that Ye Yifan had booked. Since Li Jing and Hua Qingyi were keeping an eye on things here, Hua Kai could also go with Ye Yifan to entertain the guests. She didn't have to stay and eat with them, but she still had to show her face.
There weren't many people, just two tables.
Hua Kai arrived a little earlier than Ye Yifan, but with Ye Jianxiao there, Hua Kai felt at ease. Upon entering the private room, she saw Ye Yifan's parents next to Ye Jianxiao. Hua Kai recognized Ye Yifan's mother, Xiao He, and Ye Yifan's father, Ye Tingjun, whom she had seen in photos at Ye Jianxiao's house.
She went over and greeted the two of them: "Hello, Uncle Ye and Aunt Ye."
Previously, they called her Aunt Xiao, just like Gu Xiaoxue did, but now that Huakai's relationship with them is different, it's not appropriate to call her Uncle or Aunt in this situation, so they changed their address to Uncle and Aunt.
Ye Tingjun was quite friendly to Hua Kai, because his father had just told him a lot about Hua Kai. However, the old man had promised to keep it a secret for Ye Yifan and Hua Kai, so he didn't say anything else, only about the cooperation.
Xiao He still didn't like Hua Kai very much. She always felt that Hua Kai was taking advantage of Ye Yifan. Even if a girl has some talent, she shouldn't partner with someone without having the resources.
However, Xiao He didn't know the specifics of Ye Yifan and Hua Kai's profits, so she always felt that her son had invested more than Hua Kai and therefore had more shares, so she didn't take Hua Kai seriously at all.
Today she brought a girl with her. She wasn't particularly outstanding in appearance, nor was she particularly pretty or bad-looking. She was just an ordinary person, but she had fair skin.
