On the sixth day of the first lunar month, An An was originally staying at home, but she received a call from Shanghai. An An hurriedly told her family and rushed from Beijing to Shanghai. She originally planned to take the train, but the train took too long. She thought about it and decided that the fastest way was to fly, but it was not as easy and convenient to buy a ticket in this era as in later generations.
Because she was going out temporarily, she didn't know the nearest flight and was completely in the dark. At the critical moment, she still called Lu Yan, who not only helped An An get a ticket, but also packed himself up and sent him over for free.
When the two arrived at the Shanghai store, Xu Chengcheng was stunned to see them. She called in the morning, but they came in the afternoon. She even had a slight illusion that An An was also in Shanghai! Otherwise, how could she come so quickly!
An An smiled, "No way, you urged us so much, so we bought a plane ticket and came here!" The sisters who hadn't seen each other for a long time naturally hugged each other after meeting. Xu Chengcheng hugged An An and whispered, "An An, I miss you so much!" It felt like a long time had passed since they last met.
Even when they opened a branch here before, An An had never come here. She completely became the boss and handed over the Shanghai store to Xu Chengcheng and Li Jingyue.
Now, Xu Chengcheng is in charge of the Shanghai headquarters, and Li Jingyue quit her job at the clothing factory early in the morning to open up the market outside. The branches in Guangzhou and Shenzhen were all built by Li Jingyue alone, and the sixth branch is about to be opened. An An came to Shanghai from Beijing.
An An looked up and looked at Xu Chengcheng carefully, and found that Xu Chengcheng had grown a lot taller. When she left Taisong County, she was almost 1.7 meters tall, and now it seems that she is already over 1.7 meters tall!
However, there is still the heroic spirit in her eyes and eyebrows, perhaps it was trained in the shop. Now her face has grown up a little, and the former coquettishness has faded. Instead, she looks a little softer, but her figure is as hot as before, especially after she became the manager of a clothing shop, her dressing style has completely changed, she is incredibly beautiful!
An An joked with a smile, "Our beautiful Xu, have you found a partner?"
Xu Chengcheng put her arm around An An's shoulders and shook her head, "With you as the boss, how can I find time to find a partner?"
In Xu Chengcheng's heart, she was destined to be alone for the rest of her life. After experiencing family changes, this carefree girl finally wrapped up all her softness, revealing a thick layer of armor with thorns. If anyone dared to approach her, the thorns would immediately stand up, and anyone who dared to step forward would be wounded all over the body.
But with her temper, in the end, she didn't hurt herself.
After hearing this, An An was silent for a moment, "There will be someone who is waiting for you in a faraway place, and at some point in the future, you will finally meet, know and stay with him/her!" "
We haven't seen each other for a few years, and you've become so poetic!" Xu Chengcheng laughed to hide her panic. She smiled and said, "Let's talk about business, not personal matters!"
Seeing Xu Chengcheng's resistance, An An didn't say much. Instead, she looked at the shop curiously. The shop in front of her was no longer the same as when she first bought it. It connected the two neighboring shops and connected the three shops into one big store. When An An saw it, she even had the illusion that she had been to a discount store in the future.
Seeing the surprise flashing in An An's eyes, Xu Chengcheng said proudly, "How is it? It's decorated according to your design, not bad!" Although An An was not present every time a new shop was opened or renovated, she knew the approximate location map of the shop, and then drew a simple decoration map and sent it to Xu Chengcheng. She then went to find professionals to modify it according to the original map and then carried out the actual operation.
An An nodded and praised generously, "Beyond imagination!" In addition, while she was talking, several customers had already come into the shop. Xu Chengcheng was now like a store manager. She just stood by and watched the scene, and did not greet the customers. The waiters who greeted the customers were hired. There were four waiters in a shop, and they were a little overwhelmed.
Xu Chengcheng followed An An's gaze and scanned the battlefield, "Let's go in and talk!"
An An and Lu Yan looked at each other and let Xu Chengcheng lead the way. Lu Yan walked at the back, holding An An's shoulders, a little aggrieved, "An An, you are not allowed to hug others!"
An An was stunned, "Why?" After asking, she wanted to bite off her tongue. Why else could she ask, "Are you jealous?"
Lu Yan's eyes flashed slightly, and he did not admit it. Instead, he emphasized again, "You are not allowed to hug others!"
"Cheng Cheng is not someone else!" An An had some bad thoughts, and she refused with a smile!
Lu Yan's teeth were grinding, "If it's not me, it must be someone else!"
An An giggled, glanced at Lu Yan, and trotted to Xu Chengcheng. Xu Chengcheng heard the footsteps and turned back, "When are you getting married?" She knew Lu Yan, but she didn't expect Lu Yan to become her regular wife so soon.
An An looked very proud, "We are already engaged!"
"So soon!" Xu Chengcheng exclaimed, "You still have a lot of time to enjoy! There are still such good-looking seniors in college that you haven't dated yet?" At this point, she said angrily, "What a loss! What a big loss!"
An An smiled, "It's not a loss! I have Brother Yan, that's enough!"
Xu Chengcheng thought for a while, "That's right! Your Lu Yan is worth so many people in the school." The key is that Lu Yan is good-looking, treats An An well, and his family conditions seem to be good. Thinking of this, An An is not at a loss.
Lu Yan, who was walking at the back, had a gloomy face, but when he heard An An's words, "I have Brother Yan, that's enough", his face suddenly brightened up. His An An is still the best!
It was not like Xu Chengcheng was trying to pry open the wall in front of him. If he had known, he should not have been so attentive and rushed to Shanghai.
The office was not big, about five or six square meters, with two tables. It was obviously where Xu Chengcheng did his daily accounting. An An touched his chin and nodded, "Not bad! It's in good shape!"
Xu Chengcheng smiled bitterly, "Don't tease me!" As she said that, she went to pour a glass of water for An An and Lu Yan.
"My uncle is in Shenzhen now. He will arrive in Shanghai tomorrow morning. This time we came back to discuss in person what the future of our clothing store should be?" At the current stage of the development of the clothing store, Xu Chengcheng and Li Jingyue are really struggling. If they open a branch, it is obvious that they will not have enough staff and they will not be able to handle it.
Moreover, their current stores have been watched by the higher-ups. If they open more, it will fall into the scope of speculation, so the staff is also particularly restricted.
An An took a piece of paper, drew it, and divided the current stores into three in Shanghai, two in Guangzhou, and one in Shenzhen. She asked, "How many staff do we have now?"
Xu Chengcheng said, "Including the three of us, there are a total of 26 people!" The current requirement is not to exceed 30 people. Any more than this number is considered speculation and undermining the government.
An An was a little embarrassed. It was a policy issue at the moment. The policy was a little better than before, but there were still certain restrictions on doing business to a certain extent. It was not relaxed. Although An An knew that it would be relaxed in a few years, it was a difficult problem now.
An An pondered, "We are now considered self-employed individuals. Let's find a way to register a company!"
Xu Chengcheng's eyes lit up! Yes! How could she not have thought that their current identity was a self-employed individual who was looked down upon by others. If they registered as a company, at least the manpower would not be restricted.
An An continued, "And we need to let go of the manpower. We can't put all the focus on you and your uncle!"
"But I don't trust them!" Xu Chengcheng looked worried.
"Since you are worried, just take them with you!" An An pursed her lips and looked at the waiters who were greeting customers outside. "Pick one of them with stronger business ability, train him for a period of time, and become the store manager with commission. The other stores will also follow this model. You only need to be the store manager in the future, and your uncle will be responsible for market development!"
"Will this work?" In Xu Chengcheng's opinion, the store manager has a lot of things to do, and she is really worried about handing it over to outsiders!
An An said with a threatening face, "Do you want to open shops all over the country?"
Xu Chengcheng's eyes lit up, "Of course I do!"
An An smiled, "Can you do it all by yourself?"
Xu Chengcheng was a little overwhelmed. She was busy with the five shops at present. If she opened shops all over the country, she would not even have time to eat or sleep. Even so, she might not be able to manage them.
An An saw that Xu Chengcheng was a little moved, so she continued, "Let go of the power, you just need to grasp the overall situation!" After a pause, "We have another very important thing left behind?"
"What?" In Xu Chengcheng's eyes, is there anything more important than not being able to open a new shop? ?
An An supported his forehead, "If we continue to expand, where will our clothes come from?" Now Li Jingyue no longer works in the clothing factory. Although the previous resources can be used, it will inevitably be a disadvantage if he does not have his own factory over time.
"An An is right!" It was Li Jingyue who pushed the door open. Now it was Xu Chengcheng's turn to be surprised, "Uncle, aren't you coming back tomorrow?"
Li Jingyue smiled, "I got a plane ticket from a friend and came back temporarily!" Then he went straight to the point, "An An is right. This time when I went to Guangzhou, I found that our supply of goods was insufficient!" It takes too much time to transport goods from Shanghai to Guangzhou. Moreover, the climate in Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Shanghai is completely different. Many clothes in Shanghai cannot be worn in Guangzhou and Shenzhen, not to mention the sales volume.
Now, An An also took it seriously. "The clothes we wear here in Shanghai are all big cotton-padded jackets! They are not available in Shenzhen and Guangzhou!"
Li Jingyue picked up the cup, drank it all in one gulp, and smiled bitterly. "Yes, it's still very sunny there, so I only need to wear a thin coat. In Shanghai, I need to wear two thick cotton-padded jackets!" Clothing factories ship goods according to the season. All they have now are cotton-padded jackets. He can't sell them even if he takes them to Guangzhou and Shenzhen!
