Chapter 91 Sending Red Envelopes
On the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, Li Jun returned from Beijing.
I only stayed in the hotel for one night and took the earliest bus home the next day.
The boy also brought a roast duck for Bai Zhenzhu and the others, saying it was a local specialty.
In a blink of an eye, it was the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month. Bai Zhenzhu discussed with her brother and sister-in-law and decided that it was time to give Li Yuerong and the others a holiday.
When she heard that she was going to have a holiday, Li Yueshu was reluctant to leave:
"The clothing store is doing so well. You won't be able to handle it if I leave."
White Pearl smiled and said:
"There is no end to making money, and there aren't many winter clothes left in the store. I'll sell the rest slowly, and I'll close the store on the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month to prepare for the Chinese New Year."
On the evening of the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, Bai Zhenzhu invited everyone to dinner at a state-owned restaurant.
Bai Chenglei and Liu Fang were reluctant to go to the state-owned restaurant.
Liu Fang said, "Customers all say that our food is better than that of state-owned restaurants. Why are you still inviting us to eat there, Zhenzhu? It's a waste of money."
White Pearl smiled and said:
"You and big brother have been cooking for so long, aren't you satisfied? Our whole family will go and eat the ready-made food tonight."
No one has ever eaten the food in the state-owned restaurant.
In the afternoon, when there was no one in the clothing store, Bai Zhenzhu closed the door and took the parents and children over first.
Xu Yin also took a van. It was her first time riding in one and she was very excited.
Others ride bicycles and tricycles.
Bai Chenglei and Liu Fang arrived last, and when they arrived the waiter had already started serving the dishes.
The lobby of the state-owned hotel is very large and looks very grand.
There were quite a lot of people, so we sat at two tables.
As the boss, Bai Zhenzhu stood up with a teacup in hand:
"Everyone has worked hard these past few months. It's the end of the year now. We will be on holiday starting tomorrow and will return to work on the eighth day of the first lunar month."
"I'll use tea instead of wine, let me offer you a toast first."
"Happy New Year to everyone in advance."
Everyone picked up their cups of drinks and stood up together:
"Happy New Year!"
Everyone made money and everyone's face was filled with happy smiles.
Bai Zhenzhu took out a stack of red envelopes from her bag.
Whether it is her brother and sister-in-law or her cousin, they are all people Bai Zhenzhu can trust.
Without them helping her look after the stores, she wouldn't be able to make as much money.
It is even more impossible to have enough energy to continue your career.
"Give everyone some red envelopes, not much, but a token of my appreciation."
As she spoke, she first gave Old Man Bai and Li Xiufen each a red envelope.
Li Xiufen laughed and scolded:
"I asked your dad for a red envelope, take it, don't make a fool of yourself."
Others also expressed that they did not want red envelopes. Isn't it their duty to work since they are paid?
We are all honest people, and it is the first time for us to receive a red envelope, so we feel embarrassed.
Bai Zhenzhu gave one to everyone, including several children.
Liu Huiying's face turned red with anxiety:
"Zhenzhu, I've only been here for a few days, how can I ask for a red envelope? Please take it back..."
White Pearl held her hand:
"Everyone gets a share, just think of it as everyone spreading good luck to each other and wash away the bad luck."
Liu Huiying's eyes turned red as she hugged Jia Jia.
Then I thought it was not good to cry on such a beautiful day, so I quickly held back my tears.
Zhenzhu was right, the bad luck was gone, and her and Jiajia's lives would only get better and better in the future.
Xu Yin took a quick look and saw that both adults and children were fifty.
Bai Wenjie's red envelope was confiscated by her before it even got warm.
"Son, Mom will keep it for you."
Bai Wenjie has been used to this kind of thing since he could remember, and said helplessly:
"Then you have to give me money to buy firecrackers during the New Year."
Xu Yin: “No problem.”
The meal was a great success for both the host and the guests.
The next day, Bai Zhenzhu went to two maocai restaurants and the house in Furong Community to check whether the water and electricity were turned off and whether the stove was extinguished.
Almost all the shops on the street near No. 1 Middle School were closed, and the street was deserted.
Xu Yin's younger brother and sister-in-law also cleaned the house in Furong Community very well.
Last night, Bai Chengxiang and Bai Chenglei settled all the wages for January and let everyone take the money home to celebrate the New Year.
Bai Zhenzhu also paid off Li Yueshu's salary.
Liu Huiying doesn't want any salary, no matter what.
Bai Zhenzhu didn't give it to her and went to buy Jia Jia a new set of clothes.
Except for Liu Huiying and Jiajia, everyone else left.
It was the afternoon of the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month.
When there were no customers, Bai Zhenzhu locked the door, put a sign on the door saying "Open for business on the ninth day of the first lunar month", and then took Bai Laodi to the bank to deposit money.
With the profits from the clothing store and restaurant in the past two days, as well as the braised meat restaurant and hot pot restaurant in January, she deposited 15,000 yuan this time.
Including the deposits made these days, the current bank account balance is 180,000.
Nie Lei was also the one who handled the business this time.
Bai Zhenzhu thanked him and turned around to see a young girl walking in.
The girl saw Nie Lei and smiled:
"Brother Lei, are you off work?"
The older sister next to him joked:
"Hey Xiao Nie, your girlfriend is here to pick you up from get off work."
Nie Lei glanced at the door.
Bai Zhenzhu should have heard it.
Bai Zhenzhu did hear it, but it had nothing to do with her.
At this moment, all she could think about was her balance.
In her previous life, she heard people say that some people doing clothing business at the train station earned tens of thousands of yuan a month.
She thought he was bragging.
I didn't expect it to be true.
The busyness and hard work of these days are totally worth it.
Although the balance was not over 20, it was still 180,000 yuan. It was the first time she had so much money.
She closed the shop early, and after depositing the money, she drove to Xia He's place before it got dark.
Both of them have been very busy lately, and they only met briefly on the day of picking up the goods.
When Bai Zhenzhu went over, there were not many people in Xia He's store. She was counting the inventory.
This is also what she learned from Bai Zhenzhu.
In the past, when there was only one store, she was too lazy to do inventory statistics. But since she had two stores, the importance of this account book became apparent.
It is very convenient to adjust the goods if there is a shortage of goods.
Xia He looked up inadvertently and saw Bai Zhenzhu smiling at her.
"Hey, Boss Bai is here. I was wondering why the lights are so bright today."
Bai Zhenzhu handed her a baked sweet potato that she bought downstairs:
"Business is good, how is the clearance going?"
Xia He couldn't stop laughing:
"Very good. Oh, it's very good. Hahaha. Let me tell you, I sold a full 20,000 in one day, just in this store."
Bai Zhenzhu was also surprised. This big store is really different.
"I've almost finished clearing out my winter clothes. Look, I've already got spring clothes in my store."
Bai Zhenzhu did notice that Xia He's store had already put a lot of spring clothes on sale.
Just as the accounts were being settled, Xia He put away the account book:
"How's your shop?"
Bai Zhenzhu: "Not bad. There aren't many winter models left. It would be just right to sell some more in the spring."
Xia He took the initiative to say:
"We'll continue buying houses in the spring."
White Pearl laughed:
"Why did you bring this up all of a sudden?"
Xia He: "I just feel that having a house and money will make me feel at ease. The more the better."
White Pearl nodded:
“The house buying thing cannot be stopped.”
As he spoke, he remembered the purpose of coming here:
"Want to go shopping tomorrow?"
The department store will be closed on New Year's Eve, but Xia He also plans to take a break starting tomorrow.
The store at the train station will be closed tomorrow. Her cousin and the clerk will help look after this store, so she, the owner, can take a break if she wants.
"Come on, I'll take you to get your hair permed. You'll look stunning with big waves."
White Pearl smiled and said:
"Okay, let's change our appearance for the New Year."
Bai Zhenzhu went to buy a lot of things before the department store closed.
There are not many people here right now, so I'll weigh out some of the candies, biscuits and the like. There will definitely be a lot of people tomorrow.
