Chapter 540 Discussing Buying a House
Sheng Yunfang and Jiang Yanbin's engagement date was set for May 1st, the 16th day of the third month in the lunar calendar, which happened to be a Sunday.
Both of them had jobs and couldn't take time off to come back for the engagement, so after discussion, the two families decided to hold the engagement in Shanghai.
Anyway, Sheng Liancheng has retired, and Zhang Shuzhen is unemployed and has free time.
Although Jiang Guozhong and Cao Yuqin haven't retired yet, they basically don't have any important work anymore and can take leave at any time.
Zhang Shuzhen said she wanted to leave early and prepare in advance.
According to the local custom for engagements, the bride's family must prepare two sets of clothes for the future son-in-law, from head to toe.
Zhang Shuzhen meant that Jiang Yanbin works in Shanghai and values appearances, so he needs to be well-dressed. Therefore, she wanted to go to the capital or Shanghai to purchase his belongings.
Sheng Xiping didn't care; he was fine with leaving whenever he wanted.
So on April 20th, Sheng Xiping accompanied his parents, carrying a lot of things, and set off by train.
The three of them did not choose Shenyang as a transit point, but instead chose the capital city.
Sheng Xiping strolled around the mall, held a meeting with the supervisors, listened to their reports, and confirmed that everything was running smoothly before he felt relieved.
Mr. Wu clearly disagreed with Sheng Xiping's statement. No one knew better than him how difficult things had been for them a few years ago.
"Child, you did a great job! Grandpa is so happy!" Old Wu held Sheng Xiping's hand and praised him profusely.
Old Wu is eighty-one years old this year. Ever since he drank the sheep blood that year, the old man has been in good health and good spirits.
On April 21st at noon, the family of three arrived in the capital.
After all, there is not much experience in this area in China, so we must learn advanced management methods from others.
The upstairs leisure and entertainment area also attracts many young people.
There were many weddings during that period, and with people also buying New Year's goods, business was booming.
I bought enough before the New Year, so the off-season will naturally come after the New Year.
"Grandpa, this is what I should do. Actually, I didn't do much. I just acted as a middleman."
Security departments must remain vigilant at all times and conduct fire safety drills and emergency evacuation drills periodically.
In front of his parents and Old Wu, how could Sheng Xiping boast? He could only humbly say...
The supermarket on the first floor already has a stable customer base, especially foreigners living in China who prefer large supermarkets to traditional wet markets.
Wu Bingyi hasn't retired yet; he went to work as usual on Friday and wasn't home.
In a shopping mall this size, we must regularly and thoroughly inspect water, electricity, and fire safety to ensure there are absolutely no potential safety hazards.
However, I still want to emphasize one point: safety.
In the afternoon, while Sheng Liancheng and his wife rested, Sheng Xiping went for a walk around the mall to learn about its operations.
"Everyone has worked very diligently and responsibly, and the mall management is also very orderly, which is commendable."
Those who have both money and leisure time love to come to the mall to stroll around, have a meal, drink coffee, watch a movie, play billiards, or bowl.
Fire escape routes and fire equipment are of paramount importance and must not be neglected.
After listening to the meeting, all the department heads who were called to the meeting expressed their determination to do their best to ensure the safety and security of the shopping mall.
"I will arrange for people to come and conduct spot checks from time to time. If any problems are found, don't blame me for turning my back on you."
Therefore, business in the mall remained good after the Lunar New Year, and all the shops made a lot of money.
Managing high-end shopping malls is also a skill, so the mall's management team, as Sheng Xiping suggested, took turns going to Hong Kong or abroad for training and learning.
As long as there are customers, there will be business. You never know, while browsing, someone might take a liking to something and buy it.
Back then, no matter how much money you had, nobody cared about you; you simply couldn't buy it.
"It's already a great thing to have someone like you to help us make the connection. Without you, even if we wanted to buy it, we wouldn't know where to start."
Most of the younger generation in the Wu family have gone to work, leaving only his sister-in-law Yu Wenlan, a nanny, and a healthcare professional at home to take care of Old Wu.
"You're quite something, kid. I heard you brought back a lot of airplanes and tanks for us this time."
Okay, okay, that's fantastic!
In his past life, Sheng Xiping had heard too much about these things, and he didn't want the shopping mall he had worked so hard to build to suffer a major loss because of a small oversight.
Old Wu was overjoyed to see Sheng Xiping.
Generally speaking, the period from the beginning of winter to the end of the year is the peak season for shopping malls.
Wu Bingzhong is not in the capital; he stayed in Heihe and hasn't returned yet.
The shops that were originally vacant have all been gradually filled with businesses, and now there are no vacant shops available for rent.
This matter concerns the interests of the shopping mall, as well as the lives and safety of our employees and customers; it must be taken seriously.
He was the main person in charge of this transaction. It is said that there are still two batches of goods that have not been returned. Wu Bingzhong can only return to the capital after the transaction is completed.
While the number of customers at the supermarket was not as high as it had been before the Lunar New Year, it was not as deserted as some might have expected.
Therefore, the importance of getting preventative measures taken should be taken seriously.
On the morning of the 22nd, Sheng Xiping accompanied his parents to the Wu family again.
If we had these tools back then, wouldn't we have beaten the Japanese devils to a pulp?
Sheng Xiping had some business to attend to in the capital, and Sheng Liancheng and his wife also wanted to visit Old Wu and his family.
"Liancheng, you two have really raised a good son."
