Chapter 78, Flower Thief
Guo Hai was very grateful. He didn't expect that his grown-up brother would become so successful.
After the train rattled on for several days, the group arrived at Le Town.
"Mom, you and mom take the children back to the house to rest, I'll clean up." The house was covered with dust after not living there for a few days, so it needed to be cleaned up.
"It's winter now, you take the child and I'll come." Li Yulan was reluctant to let Qianqian suffer the cold.
"Come on, you've been sitting in the car for such a long time, you should go and have a rest." An Qianqian is not a weak person.
"Brother Jianwen and I will clean it up."
Mao Jianwen also persuaded her a few times, and Li Yulan no longer insisted on staying. It was too windy outside and she was afraid that the children would be cold: "Okay, don't get tired, just clean up the outside of the kitchen."
The wind and snow here in the south are stronger than in their hometown. They haven't been back for so long, so they have to clear the snow.
When the neighbors learned that they had returned, they came to visit. Seeing that the house was not cleaned up, everyone helped out and cleaned the yard in half a day.
In the evening, An Qianqian kept all the people who helped and planned to cook a meal to thank them.
Everyone around knew that An Qianqian was a good cook, so they didn't refuse and secretly went back to get some food, intending to have a free meal.
The fragrance in the courtyard whets the appetite of many people, and they can eat an extra bowl of rice just by smelling it.
After the vacation, Mao Jianwen started working from nine to five.
The office is not very busy now, so he can go home every day to enjoy the warmth of his wife and children.
"Brother Jianwen, what do you think about me opening a shopping mall here?" She has been in Le Town for so long, but she can't do anything since she last heard him talk about Brother Guo.
An Qianqian had some ideas in her mind.
"Shopping mall?" Mao Jianwen was stunned: "There is one in the town, can you still get business if you open another one?" There are only so many people in the town, and the surrounding villages don't have as many people as Qingshan Town.
An Qianqian certainly didn’t want to open a business like a supply and marketing cooperative. What she wanted to do was to open a supermarket like in later generations.
If we cooperate with local people, I think the business will be good.
She told him her idea, and Mao Jianwen's eyes lit up: "It's indeed a good idea, but can you handle it alone?"
There are four other children in the family.
He always knew that she would not stay at home to take care of the husband and children. She had many interests. After spending so much time together, he could see some of it.
Of course, he wouldn't restrict her, as long as she wanted, she could do whatever she wanted.
"I can handle it." Her mother-in-law and mother are both here, so if she doesn't do something, she will be even more unable to handle it when her mother-in-law goes back.
People should not be lazy.
"That's fine, just handle it yourself." There wasn't much he could do to help.
After the two of them agreed, An Qianqian told her family about it the next day.
Mother An had no objection, but Li Yulan felt sorry for her. She was busy with business right after giving birth. Could her body handle it?
Anyway, the family is very harmonious.
Once you have an idea, take action.
It just so happened that the state-owned enterprise was privatized, and An Qianqian was very generous and directly bought a flat building next to the supply and marketing cooperative.
A brick house.
There are seven or eight rooms in total.
Although each room is not big, the space is quite large after the middle is connected.
She also went to some nearby rural areas and bought vegetables, poultry and other items directly from the villagers.
As for electrical appliances, she has a more complete range than the supply and marketing cooperative, the kind that doesn’t require tickets.
The price is also cheaper than theirs. There’s nothing she can do about it; she has so many connections.
It took An Qianqian more than a month to set up the shelf.
The town leaders all came over to take a look and said it was indeed good.
That day, Gao Qiulei called Mao Jianwen and his wife to his home just because Gao Qiulei's wife wanted to find a job.
Just then, Gao Qiulei's wife saw An Qianqian running a shopping mall and was attracted by her.
"Of course you can do that." As soon as Gao Qiulei and his wife said that, An Qianqian immediately agreed.
She knew Aunt Qiu's abilities.
Whether it is dealing with interpersonal relationships or diplomatic negotiations, she is adept at it.
"It would be great if auntie could come." An Qianqian was really happy: "But it's a little tiring, can auntie make it?" She was also a little worried.
Gao Qiulei’s wife is Gao Qiulan. They are from the same village, but of course, from different clans.
Gao Qiulan is a capable person. She and Gao Qiulei got together after a blind date. After so many years of marriage and having children, she has been managing his household business from behind.
Now, her son has gone to college and her parents-in-law have left. She has nothing to do and can only wait at home every day. She is very bored.
As soon as An Qianqian heard any movement, her mind started to move.
"I'm not afraid of being tired, I'm just afraid of having nothing to do." Gao Qiulan is a straightforward person.
"Okay, Auntie, you can go to work with me tomorrow. I can't handle everything by myself."
After the matter is settled.
Spring is here and flowers are blooming.
Wenan Mall is officially profitable.
In the two months since the opening, An Qianqian has made a lot of money, excluding the capital.
Gao Qiulan is indeed a capable person. In two months, she can directly replace An Qianqian.
This made An Qianqian, a salted fish, one step closer to being a salted fish.
One must always be on guard against others. Even though she is a nobody, she still keeps control over some things.
For example, accounts.
General direction, etc.
"Qianqian, how much did you earn?" Mother An couldn't help but ask when she saw her daughter coming back with a smile on her face.
There's nothing I can do. Two months ago, my family spent a lot of money.
It's heartbreaking just looking at her, not to mention that her mother-in-law is watching.
Li Yulan really believes in Qianqian and believes that whatever Qianqian wants to do will definitely be right.
As for making money, she felt it was only a matter of time.
Never had any worries.
"Mom, I don't earn much, but I earn something at least." She has seen all her mother's recent worries.
"How much?" At this time, Li Yulan couldn't help but come over.
"Today is the end of the month, I calculated, and it's almost three thousand." After saying this, An Qianqian was happy.
She really underestimated this city.
"So much." Hearing that it was more than three thousand, the two old mothers were shocked.
Last month, all my capital was recovered, and now, it’s net income.
"Well, there are still some goods in stock. Once the goods are sold out, there may be more." An Qianqian was also very happy.
It’s really easy to make money in this era.
Unlike later generations, no matter what job you do, it is hard.
Now that she had money, An Qianqian became restless again and she planned to expand the mall again.
This time, she was not buying a building, but land. She wanted to build a taller building herself.
That's a good idea.
Mao Jianwen looked at his wife who smiled every day, and he also had a smile on his face.
"This is from Qianqian." No one knew who Mao Jianwen learned this from, but now he brings Qianqian little surprises every day when he comes back.
It would make the two old mothers jealous.
"Where did you get this?" An Qianqian was very surprised looking at the beautiful flowers.
Mao Jianwen leaned over and whispered in her ear, "I picked them in the backyard of the institute. There's a big patch of them there." If there hadn't been two guys there, he would have picked them all.
"Wild?" An Qianqian had a bad feeling.
"No, it was planted by the dean." There is a building behind the institute, where several directors and the dean live.
They would pass by there on their way back from get off work.
