After finishing the morning work, the afternoon was more important, that is, to go to the old street to check the shop. The agreement was just signed yesterday, and today was the official handover. In the morning, they split into two groups. An An and Xu Chengcheng were responsible for increasing sales in the store.
Lu Yan and Li Jingyue went to the old street. The shop had not been opened for many years and looked a bit old. There was a thick layer of dust inside. Li Jingyue brought Aunt Li with him to the new shop and planned to clean it up. When they encountered high places, such as beams and windows, Lu Yan was responsible.
The cooperation of several people was quite tacit.
The location of this shop is at a crossroads, and there are many pedestrians coming and going!
Everyone was used to this shop at the intersection being closed for many years, but the door suddenly opened, and someone was cleaning inside. Could it be that some unlucky person took over this shop and was going to open it for business? ?
This was really strange!
The owners of the shops next door also poked their heads out. They were all old people who had opened shops here for many years and knew everything about the Xu family. They all looked very lively.
Some people who liked to inquire went directly into the shop and asked, "Are you the new owner of this shop?" Lu Yan was standing at the window, responsible for the spider webs on the beams, so he naturally had no time to deal with the newcomers. Aunt Li went to get some water.
Li Jingyue was the only one left. He strode out of the house to the door, took out a pack of good cigarettes from his pocket, smoked two from it, and handed them to the two old neighbors who came, smiling at them, "Yes! We are new here. Our surname is Li. I hope you will take care of us in the future."
Li Jingyue also recognized the faces of the two people who came, but after all, they had never dealt with each other before and were not familiar with each other. As they say, one should not hit a smiling person, so he kept a low profile, and the two shop owners next door who came to explore the way looked better.
One of the old men who came to Gao'egu took the cigarette, lit it directly, took a puff, and started puffing out smoke. "Young man, you look kind, but I'm going to tell you the truth. This shop is unlucky. Several families moved in here before! All of them closed down within three months. What's more, the original owner of this shop was surnamed Xu, and the Xu family is no good! You'd better be careful." In
the time it took to smoke two cigarettes, Li Jingyue had already gotten the message. In fact, they knew some of this news before they came, but since the other party was kind enough to tell him, he kept it to himself. He was grateful. "Hey! Thank you all for thinking about us!", then he changed the subject, "But we have paid the money, and the store is ours. No matter if there are evil spirits here or not, we have to keep this store open, otherwise we will lose all our money. The whole family depends on this store for food, drink, and shelter!"
The old man's surname is Zhang, and everyone calls him Old Man Zhang when they ask him. Seeing that Li Jingyue was more determined, he stopped talking. There are not many fools among those who open a business, so they speak with caution. They told what they knew, and it is up to the boss whether to listen or not.
However, the middle-aged man who came with old man Zhang was more honest. He lowered his voice and said, "If you want to keep your shop open for a longer time, you should hire some strong men to guard the door. Otherwise, it won't be long before the Xu family will come to make trouble! If you have few people, you can't match their numbers. The shop might be smashed to pieces just after we finish cleaning it up."
Li Jingyue raised his eyebrows and said in surprise, "Don't the police care about this?"
The middle-aged man's surname is Cheng, and he loves smoking. When everyone asked him to call Cheng Yanqiang, he sneered and said, "This is an internal matter of the family. The police How to manage it? It's said that even an honest official can hardly settle family affairs! Besides, how can you outsiders defeat this local snake? ? "
After listening, Li Jingyue thought for a while, and took out a complete pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed it to the middle-aged man. He thanked him, "Hey, thank you, brother! This small gift is not a respect." This is the difference between Li Jingyue and An An and others. If An An and others were to deal with this kind of neighborhood relationship, I don't know how much of a headache it would be. After all, the girl was too embarrassed. Let alone lowering her posture, she couldn't even take out the cigarettes that people love most these days!
The supermarket is full of cigarettes from later times. I can't take them. I dare not take them. There is another very important point, that is, An An has little life experience. She can't compare with Li Jingyue, an old man. She didn't think of using cigarettes to win people's hearts and even talk to them.
The old man saw that Cheng Yanqiang, who came with him, only said two more words than him, but he actually took a pack of high-quality cigarettes. He was so jealous. If he had known, he would have said a few more words and not hidden it like this.
Who is Li Jingyue? Having traveled all over the country for so many years, he had seen all kinds of people. He thought for a moment and handed over the half-opened pack of cigarettes. "Uncle Zhang, I opened two of these cigarettes. If you don't mind, take them!" These two sentences made old man Zhang smile so much that all the wrinkles on his face were combined into one, making him look even more festive. He took the half pack of cigarettes with a smile. He smoked a cigarette, and said happily, "Xiao Li! Looking at your character, this shop will surely be a booming business!"
At this point, he boasted, "If the Xu family dares to cause trouble, it depends on whether we, the old neighbors, agree!"
When An An arrived, he found that Li Jingyue and the neighbors who opened shops around him were playing together. It was really lively! They were hugging each other, calling each other brothers, and it was very lively.
An An and Xu Chengcheng looked at each other. Xu Chengcheng looked at his uncle with a look of his own, which was obviously a big liar.
When An An passed by, Li Jingyue called An An directly. He smiled and introduced to the people next to him, "This is the boss of our store!"
An An was stunned for a moment, not understanding what kind of medicine Li Jingyue was selling in his gourd, but then he thought it might be related to the store, so he pushed her to the front. She said generously, "Hello! I am Gu An An, please take care of me in the future!" Such a young girl immediately frightened Old Man Zhang and Cheng Yanqiang. They couldn't believe it, "You little girl are the boss here?"
"Why? Can't I?" An An asked with a smile, and then she continued, "My uncle is joking with you! Although I am the boss, from now on, my uncle will still be the one running the shop. I am just a hands-off manager! If there is anything, you still have to look for my uncle."
An An pushed the ball to Li Jingyue again, which also told everyone that although she is the boss, she doesn't care about things. The one dealing with everyone is Li Jingyue. Li Jingyue said modestly, "I am also a poor worker!"
He pushed An An to the front not without purpose, but intentionally. His identity could not withstand everyone's inquiry. The reputation of Li Jingyue in the store has already spread. If the clothing factory knew that he had opened a store to grab business, then his store might be suppressed.
But An An is different. The boss is An An, and he is just a worker who earns a little more money. After An An left Shanghai, who can find out An An's identity? What's more, An An has Lu Yan behind him to protect him. Anyone with a little bit of eyes will not come to find trouble.
