Chapter 170 Failed
When I opened the note in my hand, I saw the number 36 written on it.
There are quite a few shops on this street, and No. 36 is in a perfect location, so it would take some effort to win the best shop award.
"Sixth Mother, my luck is really bad. I only got number 36." Xu Miaomiao said with some regret in her tone.
Song Weiwei felt a little disappointed when she heard this: "Ah? I'm afraid it's not easy for people to remember this position in the middle."
"It doesn't matter." Gu Yuanniang, holding Ling'er, spoke first: "The position is not important. Those people are not looking at the decoration of the store and the things sold in the store. As long as we do our job well, I don't believe that we can't get a ranking."
"Um."
Xu Miaomiao nodded, agreeing with what Gu Yuanniang said but still had some opinions of her own: "The decorations of most of these shops are the same. If you want to stand out from the crowd, it may not be easy. We still need to discuss it carefully."
Their shop is still somewhat conventional. Although the things they buy are somewhat novel, these people may not just look at their own things.
Xu Miaomiao drew another sketch overnight. The original shelves that held the goods were improved and decorated with flowers. The neat cabinets were moved to a new position and people were placed in a circle so that all the goods could be seen at a glance.
Gu Yuanniang picked up Xu Miaomiao's drawing and nodded: "Well, I think this is a good idea."
"Let me see, let me see." Song Weiwei, who was standing by, was anxious. She snatched the blueprint and pointed to the cabinet beside her and said, "I think we can design a cabinet specifically for wine, so that people can choose from it."
Xu Miaomiao also agreed with this, saying that putting everything together would make it look more tidy.
He drew a blueprint for a wine cabinet and quickly sent it to the carpenter shop to have it built.
After finishing her work, Xu Miaomiao was strolling in the mansion and bumped into Song Wushao head-on.
"Are you busy these days?"
Song Wu Shao looked at Xu Miaomiao's tired expression and spoke unhappily.
Wiping away all the sweat on her forehead, Xu Miaomiao smiled and looked at him: "Yes, there are some, but don't worry, I can handle it myself."
Obviously Song Wushao didn't listen to her words. He took a step forward and hugged the woman in his arms: "If you are tired, you must tell me, understand? Let me handle the problems that cannot be solved."
Feeling the warmth in his arms, Xu Miaomiao squinted her eyes comfortably and hugged him back: "Yeah."
"Daddy, Mommy, shame on you."
Erbao suddenly came over with Xiaobao, looked at Xu Miaomiao and Song Wushao and spoke.
Xu Miaomiao's cheeks turned red when the child said that. She suddenly got out of Song Wushao's arms, distanced herself from him, and coughed twice in embarrassment: "Mom accidentally tripped and Dad caught me."
Xiaobao nodded stupidly, but Erbao pouted in dissatisfaction: "Mom said good children should not lie. It was obviously Daddy who held you. We all saw it just now."
Erbao's words made Xu Miaomiao blush, and she was speechless for a long time. She could only stare at Erbao and said, "Now that you are in the capital, you must not slack off in your studies. Daddy has found the best teachers for you. You must study hard, understand?"
"Got it." Erbao smiled at Xu Miaomiao and patted his chest with a solemn oath: "Don't worry, mother, Erbao will study hard and become a person like mother in the future."
Xiaobao also nodded and gestured to Xu Miaomiao: (Don’t worry, mother, Xiaobao will study medicine hard.)
Looking at the two half-grown children, Xu Miaomiao felt relieved. She thought that it had been several years since she came into this world. Now the two children have grown a lot taller, especially Xiaobao, who is almost taller than his sister.
Since the children are working so hard, she naturally won't slack off.
On the day of the selection, Xu Miaomiao and Gu Yuanniang were waiting in the shop early.
It's called a selection, but it's just a few people with some prestige in the capital going door to door. Whoever has the best decoration and the best products will naturally win.
Xu Miaomiao renovated the store, and now it looks like a unique department store, so it is natural that it will have a ranking.
As time was passing by and the agreed selection date was getting closer, Xu Miaomiao couldn't help feeling nervous.
"Number 36, Street—Department Store."
Following the man's announcement, a group of people came to the department store, led by a man with a big belly.
"This is the person who made the decision for this selection—Mr. Jiang."
The person next to him introduced him to Xu Miaomiao.
Xu Miaomiao nodded and gestured to the man, "Mr. Jiang, please take a look."
The man looked up and walked around the store, then frowned at Xu Miaomiao with some disgust: "Why are all your things so ugly?"
Following the man's line of sight, Xu Miaomiao saw only a group of neatly arranged, lively little lions: "I wonder where you are talking about, sir?"
"This, this, this, and this."
The man pointed randomly, and finally placed his finger in front of Xu Miaomiao: "Where is it not ugly."
As the man put down his fingers, Xu Miaomiao raised an eyebrow. If there hadn't been someone nearby to verify his identity, she would have thought he was here to cause trouble.
The man didn't delay for long, as if standing here with Xu Miaomiao would dirty his feet. He just looked around twice and left in a hurry.
Gu Yuanniang was furious at the man's attitude. "He said he was a respected person in the capital. I think he is a scoundrel. He couldn't find any fault with him. He just found a few false charges and wanted to get rid of us!"
Xu Miaomiao lowered her head, and her emotions could not be seen in her dark eyes.
Song Weiwei arrived late, but seeing the expressions of Xu Miaomiao and Gu Yuanniang, she knew that she had failed: "When I came here, I heard that this Mr. Jiang had accepted benefits from the Chamber of Commerce and looked down on our department store, so he was thinking about how to squeeze us. It turned out to be true."
"There is such a thing!" Gu Yuanniang stood up from her chair in anger and pouted at the door: "Bah! What a jerk! They use such despicable means. They don't want to come. We don't care about the best store. I don't want it even if you give it to me."
"Okay, Liu Niang, don't get yourself hurt because of these people. It's not worth it."
Xu Miaomiao pulled Gu Yuanniang to sit aside, looked at the angry woman and slowly said, "The more they do this, the more we have to continue to run the shop well and show them that we are not easy to bully!"
