Chapter 896 (Page 1/2)
As soon as Chen Yao and He Wenxi left, customers poured into the store like a tide.
Li Luode greeted every guest warmly, patiently answered their questions, and helped them choose satisfactory bouquets.
Lin Man was like a clockwork machine, busy selecting flowers for customers, wrapping bouquets for them, and arranging flowers and making flower baskets for them.
Time ran like a wild horse, and before I knew it, it was twelve o'clock noon.
Lin Man was so tired that her back and waist ached, her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and her hair was a little messy and stuck to her cheeks.
She looked at her watch and said to Li Luo, "Li Luo, go home and have a good rest after work. I'll take care of the rest. Come back at two in the afternoon."
Li Luo had no choice but to nod, said goodbye to Lin Man, and walked out of the store with a tired body.
As soon as Li Luo left, Lin Man immediately picked up the broom and started cleaning, sweeping up the flowers, branches and leaves on the ground and pouring them into a large trash can. In the afternoon, she took them outside for the sanitation workers to deal with.
Huo Qingci walked to the door and prepared to bring in the flower basket.
Suddenly they found that there were fewer flowers in the two large flower baskets. They were busy greeting guests just now, and probably without paying attention, the flowers in the baskets were pulled away by passers-by.
Huo Qingci frowned, thinking that he couldn't let these flowers be ruined again.
So he walked forward, picked up the two large flower baskets with both hands, and carefully carried them back into the store.
Lin Man had just finished dealing with the garbage. Seeing Huo Qingci frowning, she straightened up and gently patted her back.
While beating him, he asked Huo Qingci: "What's wrong?"
"The flower baskets outside were vandalized, and many of the roses in the baskets were pulled out."
"I see. Come over this afternoon and I'll fix it up. You don't need to put up the flower baskets for three days. It's getting late, let's go back and eat!"
"Okay, let's go!"
Lin Man picked up the bag of money from the table and put it on her shoulder. She reached out and picked up a padlock and a sign indicating business hours, and walked out with heavy steps.
Huo Qingci followed out closely behind. Lin Man handed the lock to him, then skillfully closed the door of the shop. With a "clang", the door closed tightly.
Then, Lin Man walked over and hung the business hours sign on the door.
After locking the door and hanging up the sign, they walked to the tricycle. She patted the back seat and said to Huo Qingci, "Come on, let's go home."
Huo Qingci smiled and nodded, then slowly climbed onto the tricycle and placed his crutches in the tricycle bed. After sitting down, he said to Lin Man, "Manman, I'm seated. Let's go!"
Lin Man pedaled the tricycle hard, and the vehicle started slowly and headed towards the courtyard.
As soon as I got home, Xiao Ya came over immediately. She asked expectantly, "Manman, how is it? Are there many customers this morning?"

"On the first day of opening, we opened the store in a busy area, so naturally there were many customers. Business is very good today, but I don't know how long it will last."
Xiao Ya smiled and said, "Don't worry, Manman. You said that the store is located on a street with a lot of traffic, so business will definitely be booming in the future."
Lin Man nodded, "I hope so!"
"Come in and eat, the food is ready."
Lin Man followed her mother-in-law into the hall. As soon as she stepped into the living room, she saw her grandfather also asking about Huo Qingci's business.
"Qingci, your flower shop must be doing very well today. After all, there are almost no flower shops of your size in Beijing. If you do a good job, your business will become more and more prosperous."
Huo Qingci stood tall and straight. After hearing his grandfather's words, he nodded gently with a serious and determined look on his face. "Yes, I know. Manman and I will work hard."
Huo Li narrowed his eyes slightly, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Since the flower shop is open now, will the clothing store and hot pot restaurant open in the middle or end of the month?
Huo Qingci answered truthfully, "Manman said that we'll open two shops at the same time, and they'll open in the middle of the month. Right now, the most important thing is to make Li Luo familiar with us. Then we can hand over the flower shop to her and hire someone else to work with her."
Huo Li touched his chin, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had thought of a good idea. He said, "Don't we have someone ready? I think Xiaofen is a good girl, and she's hardworking. Why don't you let her work in the flower shop too?"
When Huo Qingci heard this, he turned around and looked at Lin Man who was standing not far away.
"Manman is in charge of this matter. I think we should just follow her instructions!"
Lin Man felt Huo Qingci's gaze, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a faint smile. She slowly walked to the table, reached out and gently pulled out a stool and sat down.
After sitting down, Lin Man looked at Huo Li, her tone gentle but with unquestionable firmness, and said, "Grandpa, I know Xiaofen is hardworking, but she is too timid. I will arrange for her to work in the hot pot restaurant, preparing dishes and washing dishes in the kitchen."
After hearing what Lin Man said, Huo Li did not refute it immediately. Instead, he frowned slightly and thought seriously.
After a while, he slowly said, "They say courage is acquired through practice. Although she comes from the countryside, if you give her a chance to practice more, she will definitely be very brave in the future and will take the initiative to greet customers."
Lin Man wanted to say that she didn't have that much time to train a salesperson who knew nothing and was timid.
She was disgusted by her grandfather's lobbying for Zhang Fen. Zhang Fen would definitely not ask her grandfather for help in this matter, so Xu Xiaomin must have said something behind her grandfather's back.
It seems that Xu Xiaomin knows that what her grandfather said is important, so she went to ask him for help.
Since she didn't want her daughter to work as a waitress in a hot pot restaurant, she had to find a way to get the mother and daughter away.
