Chapter 321 Frustrated Store Manager Yang
Arrangements had just been made here, and then Jiao Yang, Li Hongli and others, as well as a large group of relatives and friends, came one after another. Some people also came to stroll around, show their faces, send some good luck words and then leave, coming and going. It's so lively.
We can't blame Xue Sumei for being successful. The main reason is that there has been no man in the family these years. She has only brought her daughter and niece, and the three women have lived until now. The hardships involved are naturally indescribable to outsiders. Nowadays, life is getting more and more prosperous, so naturally they have to show it off and let others know how good they are now. This kind of thing is very understandable, just feel proud.
As long as the old mother-in-law is happy, Wang Yan will of course fully support her, so the noise is just a noise, and it should be taken as a good sign.
After a busy day, no business was done, but Yang Tao was also very happy. He showed his little white teeth for a day and then didn't hide them. He was deceived by the false prosperity. Wang Yan figured that after two days of quiet business, he should stick out his teeth. Mouth.
After five o'clock, after a busy day, I finally had some free time. I sat down and rested for a while. I gave the shop assistants a red envelope of 500 yuan each for starting work, and asked them to close the door and leave at 8:30. Wang Yan drove the tired Yang Tao to the old shop. Mother-in-law’s family.
"You two came back just in time. The food has just been prepared. It's time to wash your hands and eat. Tao Zi is very tired today."
Su Qing, who was walking slowly around the house with her hands on her lower back, looked at the two people who opened the door and came in, and quickly greeted them.
Yang Tao called sister, changed her shoes at the door, took off her coat, walked to the sofa and called out to Li Zhaoxian, who was sitting there with a kind face. He sat down with a "Oh!" and drank a gulp of water: "I'm really tired. , I haven’t been as busy as today for a long time, I just want to lie down and sleep now.”
Xue Sumei smiled and sat next to Yang Tao, reaching out to squeeze her thigh: "Taozi, how are you today? Is it open?"
"No, how can it be so fast." Yang Tao groaned: "The prices for our wedding dresses and photography are not cheap. Although there are some discounts, the prices are still relatively high. Getting married is such a big deal, then People are not allowed to take a closer look. Besides, it is also the off-season for weddings, so it is normal to have no business."
Xue Sumei refused to give up: "I don't think those are all our relatives and friends. There are so many people but no one is interested?"
Seeing her daughter shaking her head pitifully, Xue Sumei sighed: "They all talk about doing business, but you said that you invested so much money, and the eight people you recruited were given five insurances and one housing fund, and they were also responsible for food and wages every day. It's quite a lot. After including the rent, water and electricity bills, it's more than 100,000 and 200,000 yuan per month. After opening the business, not a single business was completed, not even a single person was interested. Wouldn't that be a huge loss? "
"Oh, aunt~" Duan Xifeng, who had just taken off his apron, smiled and narrowed his eyes: "That's how business is, there is no rush. Besides, in your words, Wang Yan is a nouveau riche. He can withstand it easily. , you don’t have to worry.”
"How can that be the same? This is compensation. They are not just spending money at home. No matter how much money they have, they can't compensate like this. It's okay to spend money, but if they lose money, you say they don't enjoy it and are tired. This What are you fussing over? You might as well just stay at home."
"Mom, my brother-in-law is right, you have to be patient in this business." Because there was no room, Wang Yan, who was sitting on the TV cabinet, said with a smile: "You seem to be losing money now, then wait until our name starts and we catch up. In the peak wedding season, money comes pouring in."
"Hey, yes, you have to be patient when doing business. Besides, today is a great day for opening a business, so it is unlucky to say that." Li Zhaoxian nodded in approval and smiled: "Big sister, we are old and don't know how to do business. These are all common sense. I think you should relax and don’t think too much. Young people have young people’s ideas, just let them do it by themselves. And to put it bluntly, I’ll just lose it. With Wang Yan’s net worth , It’s not even a strain on your muscles and bones. I heard that you haven’t worked yet?”
"Yes, Uncle Li, he has never done anything."
Li Zhaoxian continued to say slowly: "That's just right. This time, you can not only exercise your personal abilities, but also get more experience. I think it's good. Sister, just relax and let the children do their own thing. Just go."
"That's all we can do, otherwise what else can we do? I just have a bad tongue, so I shouldn't ask." Xue Sumei waved her hands in disinterest: "Okay, okay, no more talking, let's wash our hands and eat."
Counting Li Zhaoxian, the six of them washed their hands separately in the bathroom and kitchen, and sat at the table according to the positions where they had their first meal. The main reason is that this location is familiar and fixed, because Li Zhaoxian has eaten here several times.
It was Duan Xifeng who drank wine with Li Zhaoxian. Xue Sumei also got a small wine cup. She had to drink some to relieve her worries. Wang Yan, Yang Tao, and the eldest cousin naturally drank fruit drinks or something to join in the fun.
The old mother-in-law was in a bad mood. Wang Yan, as her precious son-in-law, had nothing to say, so he gave her a thumbs up: "Mom, you are really powerful. The huge crowd of people in the store today were all summoned by you. It's amazing."
Xue Sumei was happy when she said this: "Well, let me tell you, these people are jealous of the rows of big wedding dresses in a store as big as ours. You don't know, that Taozi's third uncle, that guy , Humph, they are so angry. When I went to borrow money from their family, my nose was neither a nose nor an eye. Now, you don’t look at him like that. Oh, by the way, there is Lan Caiping, look at her He listened to me with a smile, but in his heart he wanted to tear me apart, and he was so angry that he looked down on us, but now we have stood up and are better than them."
Yang Tao didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Mom, it's been so many years, why are you still mentioning that? Aren't things fine now?"
"Everything is good?" It's still the same as before, do you think it's okay? One by one, I still don't know what their virtues are?"
"Yes, Auntie, you know them very well." Su Qing nodded and changed the subject smoothly: "By the way, I just mentioned Aunt Lan. Uncle Li, have you met Aunt Lan and Uncle Hao today?"
"I've seen it, I've seen it." Li Zhaoxian nodded repeatedly, took a sip of wine, and said with a smile: "I've also seen Weiwei's child. She's pretty, and her parents are also very nice. We had a great conversation. .”
Yang Tao was curious: "So the matter between Li Kui and Wei Wei is settled?"
"That's not true. It's all their own business. Although I'm a little anxious, I can't help Li Kui make the decision. But I'm quite satisfied with Weiwei myself. I think I'll go home after dinner. When the time comes, give him a call and talk about it. Although this is his own business, as a father, I have to express my opinion. Also ask him what he thinks. If it’s appropriate, don’t delay it like this. It’s on, right?”
There was nothing wrong with what he said and he was very open-minded. Everyone nodded in approval. Especially Yang Tao, thinking of the various arrangements he had been made by his own mother, he felt a little bit envious, envious of Li Zhaoxian's open-mindedness.
"Brother Li, you are so right." Xue Sumei said with a smile: "But there is one thing I don't agree with. If you want to say that Lan Caiping is a good person, then you are wrong. Why is she good? She is so good. She's just pretending. Don't you know, she is a national first-class actress, so what kind of pretense can't be done? Back then, we acted in plays together until we retired, from little girls to old ladies, good guys and bad guys. , have understanding.”
"Let me tell you, Brother Li, no one knows Lan Caiping better than me. Why do you think she chats so well with you? It's not that Li Kui's conditions are too good, their family is not that good. , It’s a high climb, right. In this situation, do you think it’s okay if she doesn’t have a good chat?”
Yang Tao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. These are really enemies: "Mom, what are you talking about? It's Li Kui and Weiwei's business. Aunt Lan and Uncle Li won't get involved too much. It has nothing to do with what you said. Yeah. Where are you talking about? If my father-in-law and mother-in-law were still here, wouldn't you have to have a good chat? Isn't it the same? You also always say that Wang Yan is a nouveau riche. Come to think of it, isn't it the same? Are we trying to outdo him?"
"No, Mom, I promise, I definitely didn't have this idea. Instead, what I thought was that I was lucky enough to be able to marry Tao Zi. It's true."
Wang Yan never expected that he could be scratched. Star Tao is really pregnant now, how can you say that? Based on his understanding of his mother-in-law, he definitely didn't mean to break up Li Kui and Lan Weiwei, nor did he mean anything else. He just habitually complained and suppressed Lan Caiping. Everyone here, including Li Zhaoxian, understood what the old mother-in-law meant. There was no need for Yang Tao to talk too much, so she just changed the subject and had to bring him along.
"Did you say that about your own mother?" Xue Sumei glared at Yang Tao, looked at her precious son-in-law and smiled: "We have been together for several months, how can mom not know about you? Don't worry, mom didn't think much about it. Brother Li , I don’t mean anything else, I’m just used to it with Lan Caiping, so don’t worry too much.”
Li Zhaoxian shook his head and smiled: "How can it be possible? I don't know you yet. Big sister, you are the most honest. Come on, that West Wind, and you guys, let's have a drink together. I wish Taozi, Wang Yan and the others a little If you are a couple, you will make a lot of money."
"Business is booming!"
"Great wealth!"
"good luck!"
…
Duan Xifeng, who was eating, quickly raised his glass. Wang Yan and the two women also raised their glasses and drank juice. A bunch of people said auspicious words and wished them well.
After the last Deng Jiajia incident, maybe he was really scared, and Duan Xifeng became really honest. Except for the entertainment that I really can't refuse, I basically go home on time every day to take care of Su Qing and be filial to Xue Sumei. The three women in the family rated him higher and higher day by day. He was absolutely a good family man.
Of course, the good man of the Gu family does not have as high a status in Xue Sumei's heart as Wang Yan, his beloved son-in-law. However, because Duan Xifeng devotes more energy to his family, family harmony has indeed improved to a higher level, which is very good.
Putting down the cup, Su Qing thoughtfully opened a new topic, and everyone started talking happily. Then as expected, the topic of children was discussed at the dinner table since Su Qing and Yang Tao became pregnant one after another. The old mother-in-law took the trouble to think about the future again, she was always happy, it was good...
Now that they have something to do, Wang Yan and Yang Tao finally no longer wait to die. Daily life also became Wang Yan's daily exercise every morning, and then he would come back with breakfast and wait for store manager Yang to wake up naturally. After he had eaten breakfast, washed up, and tidied up, the two of them drove a car to the store to work.
How can I be so punctual about my own business? I don’t arrive until around ten o’clock almost every day. After arriving at the place, Yang Tao held his waist in the store and patrolled his territory. He led a few girls under him to receive a small number of customers who came into the store, which could be considered as training for them.
Wang Yan, on the other hand, took a hard drive and a stenograph and clicked on the high-end computer in the store. The remaining two newly recruited photographers, because they were out of work, would ask the little girls what they wanted for lunch in the morning, and then they would wander to the market to buy vegetables and come back to clean up in the kitchen.
It was almost noon, and Chef Wang took charge. After a meal, everyone chatted and laughed in the break room, and received daily praise from the employees. Wang Yan believed that they were sincere, after all, he could make money with his cooking skills. Especially in the beginning, there are not many different dishes. From north to south, from east to west, there are eight major cuisines and various branches. Occasionally, you have to have a foreign meal. There are absolutely a lot of variety. As for whether he is sincere in the future, that doesn't matter. Anyway, what he did, Boss Wang, was interesting enough.
After lunch, eight of my subordinates drew lots to find two to wash dishes. It was the most exciting moment of the day and quite interesting. At this time, Weixin did not have the red envelope function, and it would take another year or four. Otherwise, it would be more interesting to give a group red envelope every day, with the most and least washing dishes.
In the afternoon, Wang Yan continued to copy. He only wrote for a few hours every day, and he had to do it. Yang Tao was sitting on the sofa on the first floor seriously, studying with him how to make the company bigger and stronger, and planning for the future. In fact, this has been thought of before, but Yang Tao and Wang Yan are really busy at home together, and they don't use their brains very much. They are really stupid... so they start now.
The bridal shop needs to be bigger and stronger, and there is nothing else but a one-stop shop for weddings, good price and good quality. Now they only make wedding dresses and photography, and there are many other things that other wedding companies have. The emcee team, sound engineer, etc., as well as other cooperative hotels, fleets, and rebates are all a living thing.
But it had been a few days since they opened, and with the dismal results of not selling any of their wedding dresses and only renting out two, and looking at the loss of a year and a half, what Yang Tao thought was really too far-fetched. It’s definitely not possible to do it yourself. You can only cooperate with others and explore the path bit by bit.
Of course Wang Yan had told Yang Tao about these things, but it did not hinder Manager Yang's beautiful thoughts.
After she thought about it randomly, she would take out her notebook and start designing the wedding dress. There is also a studio on the second floor, which is a place where designer Yang can hand-make wedding dresses. She doesn't dare to move now. After all, she has no experience. She has only done it for the bunch of small dolls at home, never the big ones. Wang Yan was quick to start, and all he got were good materials. She was a little frightened. She is looking for a feeling recently. Once she finds it, she will start making the first handmade wedding dress in her life. She is anxious and looking forward to it.
After Wang Yan writes for a while, he will go downstairs and sit with Yang Tao, murmuring with her as he designs. Or tinkering with the computer together, drawing pictures on it, etc. It's very professional. Wang Yan learned it from Yang Tao during these few months of pregnancy.
The main business hours of the store are from 9:30 am to 8:30 pm. Half an hour earlier, that is, at 9 am and 8 pm, the employees will take turns to do sanitation and other things. The working hours are long, for sure, but this job is just like that, and the salary Wang Yan gives is almost the highest in the industry, so there is no problem.
As the boss and the boss's wife, Wang Yan and Yang Tao naturally left early. So around five o'clock, a fulfilling day is over.
Because the store is close to my mother-in-law’s house, I basically go to her mother-in-law’s place to eat together every day. Occasionally, when he gets a craving for star fruit, Wang Yan will book a restaurant and have a meal as a family. Of course, Li Zhaoxian is also indispensable from time to time. The old man is not a freeloader. His son earns one million a year, so of course he will not treat me poorly. Therefore, the old man occasionally invites them to have dinner together, and the relationship becomes closer and closer.
After having dinner and chatting with the old mother-in-law for a while, the two of them went home. Then wash up, watch TV, get a massage, etc., then turn off the lights and go to sleep. The day is really over...
More than half a month passed like this, and as Wang Yan expected, Yang Tao, who had vowed to do something great and become bigger and stronger, lost his energy. There were quite a lot of people entering the store that day. She felt strong, and after a long introduction, they said, "Just take a look," which really took away too much enthusiasm. Store Manager Yang ran out of battery...
On this day, after lunch, Wang Yan accompanied Yang Tao for a walk outside to eat. After returning to the store, Manager Yang sat on the comfortable sofa with an 'ouch' and looked at the two couples in the store. The alone woman let out a long sigh: "Why don't you think they will buy it..."
"Although getting married is the most important moment in a woman's life and a top priority, due to limited conditions, most people rent wedding dresses. Moreover, our wedding dresses are not cheap, and the reputation of 'lovely beauty' has not been established. It’s normal to not be able to attract high-quality wealthy customers.”
Yang Tao pursed his lips and said pitifully: "I'm sorry, it's all because of me that we lost money like this..."
"That's what I'm saying, what's there to be sorry for? It's not like we can't afford to lose. Let alone not being open for a year, it's fine even for ten years. And we will definitely get better and better in the future, so don't worry." Wang Yan hugged the stricken store manager Yang and comforted him: "Daughter-in-law, please remember that money is never the most important thing to us. The most important thing is that you are happy. We opened this bridal shop just because we like it. How can you design the most beautiful wedding dress is what you want, do you understand?"
"That's true, but how can I not think about losing money every morning when I open my eyes. I used to say I wouldn't spend your money, but now it's too wasteful."
"Your understanding of prodigal is a little biased. This is different. This is a legitimate cause, not excessive consumption on unnecessary things." Wang Yan rubbed her head: "Okay, don't think about it. Now you There is still our child in the belly, mother and son, mother and daughter are all connected. If you are unhappy, he will be unhappy too, which will affect his development. Ah, look who is here." As he spoke, Wang Yan faced the window He pursed his lips.
Yang Tao turned around and looked: "Wei Wei?"
"Okay, put your mind together, have a happy chat with her, and don't think too much."
Wang Yan smiled and waved hello to Lan Weiwei, who had walked into the store and was prompted by his staff...
