Two days later, Wang Peng was working in his office when he received a call from Li Mingzhu.
"Honey, we've arrived in England. Mengjiao just picked us up," Li Mingzhu said with a laugh on the phone.
"Okay, have a safe journey." Wang Peng finally felt relieved and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
“Have a pleasant trip. I’ll let my son talk to you.” Li Mingzhu placed the phone in front of Wang Jiye.
Wang Jiye reached for the telephone, made two "ya ya" sounds into it, and made Li Mengjiao and Li Mingzhu laugh.
Wang Peng was in a great mood and said into the phone, "Son, Dad misses you."
"Ya ya..." Wang Jiye called out twice more into the phone.
Hearing the cheerful voice on the phone, Wang Peng was in a great mood, feeling comfortable from every pore.
Li Mingzhu said softly, "Honey, don't worry about us. Just focus all your energy on your work."
“Brother Peng,” Li Mengjiao said, “Don’t worry, Sister Mingzhu will be fine here.”
"Okay." Wang Peng nodded. "I'll call often. Mingzhu, Mengjiao, wait for me."
Just then, there was a knock at the door. Wang Peng said goodbye to them, hung up the phone, and said, "Come in."
The door was pushed open, and Du Lei and Hu Mingyue stood outside. Du Lei said, "Brother Peng, it's time to attend the opening ceremony of Store No. 5."
"Let's go." Wang Peng picked up his suit jacket and walked towards the door.
"Brother, wait a minute." Hu Mingyue walked up to Wang Peng and reached out to straighten his wrinkled tie.
After tidying up for a few moments, he immediately pulled out his walkie-talkie and ordered the clothing department to quickly send over a tie.
Wang Peng looked at the barely visible wrinkles and said, "This won't affect anything, will it?"
Hu Mingyue shook her head: "Brother, today is a joyous day. You represent the image of our Brothers Group."
As she spoke, she stood on tiptoe and reached out to untie Wang Peng's tie. Wang Peng had no choice but to bend down and cooperate.
A staff member hurried over with a blue tie. Hu Mingyue took the tie and carefully helped Wang Peng put it on.
After some trouble, Wang Peng finally got into the company's business vehicle and arrived at Store No. 5 in Huihuang District.
The supermarket entrance was packed with people, and the band played music non-stop.
Wang Peng walked to the main gate and cut the ribbon with the district staff, and firecrackers immediately went off.
With this, Brothers Supermarket Store No. 5 officially opened for business. The doors swung open, and eager customers poured in, instantly putting pressure on the security guards.
Wang Peng and Du Lei led the district leaders on a tour of the supermarket, stopping near the elevator. Hu Yong, the district committee director, watched the elevator with great interest.
Staff members guided customers as they boarded the elevator and were slowly transported upstairs, a sight that amazed them all.
Children, in particular, started going up and down the elevators on both sides.
Hu Yong nodded: "Mr. Wang, this elevator is nice. Are there any like this in China?"
Wang Peng replied, "There shouldn't be any in China. I imported this from England."
"Oh?" Hu Yong's eyes lit up, and he immediately had the idea of attracting investment. "Xiao Wang, can you get in touch with their boss? I'll treat him to drinks another day."
Wang Peng pulled out the business card of the owner of the British Elevator Factory, Mr. Baker, from his pocket: "Director Hu, this is the phone number of their boss."
"Okay!" Hu Yong laughed and put the business card in his pocket.
Wang Peng continued to lead them on an inspection tour of the supermarket, and they gradually arrived at the KFC fast food restaurant on the first floor.
Seeing their boss, Tang Zewu, everyone felt a little heavy-hearted. They all knew that Tang Zewu and Zhao Laixi had a life-or-death bond, yet Tang Zewu had still been recruited here.
"Wang Peng's methods are unfathomable." Hu Yong was secretly shocked and couldn't help but look at Wang Peng with new respect.
The area around the elevator was packed with people, and KFC was doing exceptionally well.
Tang Zewu couldn't stop smiling. He had worked at the Brilliant No. 5 store for several years, but his business was never as good as it was today.
"Dad, it seems this place has a better future than Huihuang," Tang Xiaoyue whispered.
Tang Zewu shook his head and remained silent. He looked up and saw Wang Peng, his expression somewhat complicated, before bowing his head to attend to the client.
Wang Peng smiled at Tang Xiaoyue and continued his tour with the staff of the Huihuang District Committee.
By this time, the supermarket was packed with people, and there weren't enough shopping carts. The staff managing the shopping carts were so anxious they were scratching their heads in frustration.
An old man was very dissatisfied and said in a deep voice, "How can you run a supermarket like this? There aren't even shopping carts. How am I supposed to buy anything?"
"Sir, I'm so sorry. The staff has already gone to get it. I'm really sorry." The waitress kept bowing and apologizing.
The old man persisted, berating the waiter: "Comrade, the people come here to buy things, which is giving you face. Is this how you treat the people?"
The waitress could only apologize repeatedly. When she suddenly saw Wang Peng and the others, she turned pale with fright.
"Sir, I'm the owner here. How can I help you?" Wang Peng smiled and shook hands with the old man.
"Mr. Wang Peng?" The old man calmed down a bit. "I'm old, and it's not convenient for me to come out. I've been waiting for the shopping cart for twenty minutes now, is that fair?"
"I'm so sorry, I didn't expect the public to be so accommodating," Wang Peng said. "How about this, I'll treat you to lunch."
Hu Mingyue said with a smile, "Grandpa, the fifth floor is our staff restaurant. You can eat there for free at noon."
“This isn’t about food, I don’t need it.” The old man waved his hand, then grabbed Wang Peng’s hand. “Young Wang, you can’t cause trouble for the people.”
"You're right, we did make mistakes in our work, and we accept your criticism," Wang Peng said, adopting a humble attitude.
The old man, having saved face, finally smiled: "Alright, I'll play with my grandson in the elevator first, then wait for the shopping cart."
"Thank you for your understanding." Wang Peng turned around, took two ice creams from the freezer, and handed them to his grandson.
The little boy took the ice cream. The old man, beaming with pride, gave him a thumbs-up and praised, "Little Wang, you really know how to do business."
"Thank you for the compliment, haha." Wang Peng was in a great mood, watching him lead his grandson to the elevator.
Wang Peng led Hu Yong and the others to the fifth floor.
The place is filled with fitness equipment, billiards and other entertainment facilities, as well as furniture and appliances such as sofas and televisions.
Hu Yong asked in confusion, "Xiao Peng, what does this mean?"
Wang Peng replied, "This is the staff canteen and rest area; the food and facilities are all free."
Hu Yong began by visiting the treadmills and other fitness equipment, and then visited the canteen, where he saw various fruits and meats.
He shook his head: "Xiao Peng, you're too good to the workers. You don't care at all about all that chicken, duck, fish and meat."
Wang Peng smiled slightly: "Director Hu, the workers are all my brothers and sisters, it is only right that I treat them well."
"Great!" Hu Yong patted Wang Peng on the shoulder. "If there were more bosses like you in the provincial capital, my job would be much easier."
Wang Peng quickly replied modestly, "Director, you flatter me."
Hu Yong said, "Xiao Peng, you bring the British Elevator Factory here for me, and our district committee will take care of the service work for you from now on, how about it?"
