After renovation, product stocking, recruitment, and advertising, Brother Supermarket Stores No. 1 and No. 2 officially opened at 8:00 AM today.
Learning from his previous experience of not being able to drive into the store, Wang Peng drove to Yihaodian at seven o'clock in the morning.
Then, to their dismay, the area outside the store was already packed with people, and the car couldn't get in. They found a random alley to listen to the crowd and led Li Mingzhu on foot to the store.
The closer you get to the supermarket entrance, the denser the crowd becomes, and soon it becomes impossible to move. There are many police officers on both sides of the road maintaining order.
Li Mingzhu chuckled, "Honey, this is even more outrageous than last time."
Wang Peng is brainless. "Ever since the supermarket was burned down, until Zhang Jinzhu was executed, the news media have been following and reporting on it, and Brother Supermarket has become even more popular."
Li Mingzhu nodded repeatedly, "This is a case of 'a happy accident,' haha."
This was free advertising, and the more she thought about it, the happier she became. "Honey, let's go check out the second store. If business is this good too, Wang Cheng will be worried."
"I'll make him worry all the time from now on, humph." Wang Peng sneered and led his wife back to the car.
The second store is right across from the headquarters of Huihuang Supermarket, and cars are forced to park far away, while the road is packed with people.
Wang Peng was both amused and exasperated. He decided to contact the landlord to ask for a back door to the house, otherwise the boss wouldn't be able to get into his shop.
"What's the difference between this and Yihaodian?" Li Mingzhu asked with a smile.
"There's a difference; the police force here is clearly less than at Yihaodian," Wang Peng complained.
"Hehe, honey, someone's about to call and yell at you." Li Mingzhu winked.
Wang Peng was taken aback, and immediately thought of the branch director, Comrade Feng Dali. He got out of the car with his wife and cautiously approached the store.
The phone suddenly rang. He answered it and held it to his ear. Feng Dali's complaint came through the phone: "Why did you open a branch? There aren't enough police officers."
"Haha." Wang Peng laughed out loud, "Uncle, you should withdraw the police force, everything should be fine."
“Don’t talk to me about ‘should.’ Good grief, if a stampede causes injuries or fatalities, I’ll have to take off my police uniform.” Feng Dali raised his voice.
"Uncle, don't complain to me, hurry up and apply for police assistance." Wang Peng laughed and hung up the phone.
Holding his wife's hand, he slowly approached the store entrance, but soon found himself stuck in the crowd, unable to move forward or backward.
An older man next to me complained, "Wang Peng is a real idiot. He doesn't even open before eight o'clock. Does he even know how to do business?"
"Alright, alright." His wife rolled her eyes at him. "If Wang Peng didn't know how to do business, would this place be so packed?"
The elder sister-in-law's name is Gou Dewang, and his wife's name is Li Sihua. He is holding a four- or five-year-old boy in his arms.
Gou Dewang retorted, "He just doesn't know how to do business. If I were my brother's boss, I would open the door at six in the morning."
Wang Peng scratched his head and said with a smile, "Brother, you can't possibly have a good heart doing this."
"Who said that?" Gou Dewang turned around and glared at him. "Young man, do you even know how to do business...?"
Suddenly, his eyes widened even more, and he whispered, "You, you're Boss Wang?"
Wang Peng smiled slightly, "Big brother, do you know me?"
"Oh, it really is Boss Wang! Hello, hello." Gou Dewang immediately beamed.
Wang Peng shook hands with him and said with a smile, "With so many people, when did you arrive?"
"I arrived at 7:30," Li Sihua answered quickly, glancing at Li Mingzhu's belly and smiling, "You're the boss's wife, right?"
"Yes, hello, elder sister." Li Mingzhu shook hands with her.
“My son loves watching One Piece the most,” Li Sihua said. “Dazhu, this is the artist of One Piece.”
Gou Dazhu was a little shy and turned his head away from Li Mingzhu. Li Sihua smiled and said, "Boss Wang, he's just a big talker, don't take it to heart."
"Sister-in-law, don't say that." Wang Peng smiled at Gou Dewang. "Brother, if there's anything wrong with my supermarket, please give me some feedback."
“There’s nothing wrong with it.” Gou Dezhu hurriedly shook his head. “I’m afraid of buying counterfeit goods elsewhere, but I’m not afraid here.”
Wang Peng nodded. "I insist that employees go to get off work and leave on time. Do you think it's good or not? Don't worry, just say so."
Gou Dewang blushed slightly and scratched his head. "This is good for your subordinates, and good for us customers..."
Li Sihua quickly tugged at his sleeve, glaring at him and saying, "Don't talk nonsense."
Wang Peng smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I can accept criticism. Brother, feel free to speak your mind. I won't do anything to you."
“Then I’ll be honest,” Gou Dezhu said. “Actually, they’re quite good to us customers. If I were an employee and my boss made me come to work an hour early, I would definitely be unhappy. If I’m unhappy, I won’t have a good attitude towards customers, don’t you think?”
In the end, Gou Dewang bowed and scraped, even with a hint of fawning.
Li Sihua rolled her eyes. When Boss Wang wasn't around, her husband spoke like a king, but now he speaks like a grandson.
"Brother is absolutely right." Wang Peng gave a thumbs up. "That's exactly what I was thinking. We're on the same page."
"Oh, what an honor! It turns out I share the same thoughts as the big boss." Gou Dewang immediately beamed with joy.
Li Sihua rolled her eyes again. Every time she praised her son for doing his homework well, he would give her the same look.
Wang Zhenhua and he chatted enthusiastically, waiting together for the supermarket to open.
On the fifth floor of the Brilliant Supermarket, in the president's office, Wang Cheng looked at the crowd on the street, gritting his teeth in hatred.
"This can't go on! They're stealing all our business!" Li Guifen gritted her teeth in anger. "They deserve to die!"
“Hu Qing deserves to die even more; she invested in this supermarket.” Liu Yunlai gritted his teeth.
He is Hu Qing's maternal uncle, and it was he who colluded with Wang Cheng to send Hu Qing to a mental hospital.
