The holiday is more than halfway over, and Song Lili's small business is booming, making many people envious.
The other stalls around her were incredibly envious, sighing and lamenting as they watched the constant stream of people coming and going from her stall.
"Don't you think it would be great if all these people were here with me?"
"Keep dreaming! Look at what they're doing, and then look at what you're doing. Theirs is so clean and fresh, while yours is the same as it was ten years ago, and you still dream of making it big?"
It seems like you hear this every day.
Song Lili sometimes heard it, but she didn't take it seriously.
This is just a temporary deal for her; there's no need for her to limit her own development just to please them.
What she should do now is accumulate capital as quickly as possible, then find a shop and start over.
She is still busy every day, busy with life, busy making money, busy taking care of her children, and of course, busy being sweet and loving with Zhang Qinghua.
These days feel fulfilling, and I feel that every day is meaningful.
That day, she went to see Qian Liulin. It wasn't for any particular reason; she just thought it had been a long time since they had seen each other and wanted to visit.
Qian Liulin is now working in the capital, in a government agency, and seems to hold a fairly high position.
Song Lili never asked; she felt these things weren't important. Just like Zhao Qian and the others' identities, she never asked either, though she had guesses in her mind, she never bothered to verify them.
She thought that if they spoke, she would listen, but not say anything or ask any questions.
In this way, when everyone sets aside their status and position to get along, they can obtain the truest feelings.
"Brother Qian, have you been very busy lately? You don't look too well," Song Lili asked with concern, looking at her tired face.
Qian Liulin rubbed his temples: "Yes, I've been quite busy lately, so I haven't been getting enough rest."
"By the way, what brings you here today? Is there something you need to talk to me about?" Qian Liulin changed the subject.
"I just thought it had been a long time since I'd seen you, and I happened to be passing by today, so I thought I'd come and see you." She knew that Qian Liulin worked here.
"Okay, wait for me a moment, we'll go out to eat in a bit." Qian Liulin said with a smile.
Song Lili nodded, "Okay, I'll wait for you here."
"Go inside and wait. I estimate it will be a while. It's very sunny outside, but it'll be cooler inside."
In this sweltering weather, Qian Liulin would never do something like leaving a girl to bake in the sun.
Song Lili looked up at the bright sun overhead, hesitated for a moment, and then agreed, "Okay."
Anyway, it's just going inside to cool off, there's nothing to be ashamed of, right?
She followed Qian Liulin inside and sat down in the lobby. "I'll wait for you here, Brother Qian. You go ahead and do your work, don't worry about me."
"Okay, I'll do it as soon as possible. If you get bored, go to the mailroom inside. There are books there that you can read."
The books here are prepared for visitors, in case they get bored, so Song Lili can read them too.
Song Lili nodded, "Okay, I understand."
After settling Song Lili in, Qian Liulin hurriedly returned to continue his work.
I've been so busy these past few days, I wish I had more hands so I could finish all the work at hand.
Meanwhile, Song Lili sat in the hall, looking around with some curiosity.
This is an administrative building, and the lobby is very grand and elegant, with the marble floor polished to a shine.
She did this for a while and then got really bored, but she didn't go to the place Qian Liulin had mentioned.
She didn't want to go through the trouble, nor did she want to cause any real trouble.
Instead, she relaxed and sat down in the chair, closing her eyes and drifting off into a daze.
Gradually, it came down to our recent business dealings.
The products we've been selling lately have really taken off; they're practically booming.
The addition of other varieties attracted a large influx of new customers, making them busy again after a period of relative calm.
Yesterday, Song Lili had already separated the multigrain pancakes and hand-pulled pancakes, because she couldn't handle them all at one stall.
The vehicle is still the same, but an additional workbench has been added, specifically for making multigrain pancakes and hand-pulled pancakes, while other snacks are made on another workbench.
The consequence of doing this is that they are all very busy.
Zhang Qinghua once again became the person who collected money from customers, while Wang Mei and Fan Lijuan made other snacks.
Song Lili was specifically responsible for making multigrain pancakes and hand-pulled pancakes.
Even so, after a whole day, I felt sore and tired that I didn't want to talk at all.
Now, I don't even have time to look after my two children.
Every day, we would take them to the market together, and then have Xiao Chen watch over Xiao Hui while they played around the market.
The adults had to keep an eye on things from time to time to keep them busy.
So now Song Lili is wondering if she needs to hire more people? Otherwise, she'll be too busy to handle everything.
Moreover, they are so tired every day that they are prone to overwork, and their bodies can't take it after a long time.
But should we really increase the number of staff? Song Lili hesitated again.
She only runs a small stall, and although business is good, it's not enough to support a large number of people.
Even with more people, there's no room; it just feels crowded. It's already quite crowded now.
Then the only option is to increase the number of stalls, but is that really necessary?
Song Lili asked herself, is it really necessary?
She doesn't plan to do this long-term, so does she really need to make another car? And hire a few more people?
She shook her head. No, let's forget about it. Right now, it's just a small workshop, only suitable for early capital accumulation or for a family to do it together.
It's not suitable to hire someone to do it together.
If she hires someone now, without a complete set of rules and regulations, it's easy for something to go wrong, so she'd better forget about it.
Wait a while, until she has enough money, then she'll find a shop, preferably near the school, so she can check it out anytime.
After calculating the money I had, I realized that it seemed I could find a shop.
The rent for shops is relatively cheap now, but she doesn't want to rent; she wants to buy a shop that belongs to her.
Only in this way can we solve some problems at their root.
There are also renovation costs, labor costs, and other miscellaneous expenses. The money we have now is barely enough, but once the shop is set up, there won't be any more money to continue.
Therefore, he still needs to persevere for a while longer.
Once she has enough funds to get the store up and running, she can stop doing this.
At that time, she could then find more people to help, and she could become a hands-off manager.
She didn't want to be permanently tied to this place; she had other things she wanted to do.
Doing business was merely the economic foundation she was building for her ideals.
