Chapter 110 inquires about the situation
Not long after she returned, Xia Lin came to look for her. The shop of the two brothers and sisters had been almost renovated. Xia Jin had also agreed with Ling Miaoer's supplier about the goods. They could be delivered in two or three days and the store would open in a week.
At this time, several real bosses had classes to attend, so they couldn't come. The two brothers and sisters handed the matter over to their aunts at home, and their parents never knew that the two of them had opened a shop with their own pocket money.
After everything in the store was handed over to Li Jianguo, the next afternoon, Li Haitang carried a large bag of things that Sister liu had entrusted to her and got into the small car of her house.
It was still early to get back to tan city. Li Haitang handed the things to Lin Peipei and asked her to send them to Duan Jinqiao.
Time flies like an arrow, and the sun and the moon fly.
Half a month later, the provincial Sugar wholesale division opened. Li Jianguo called to tell her that business was good on the opening day. Most of it was the business that he and Sister liu had been running out of the counties and cities during this time. Now that the eight people in the shop were a little busy, he decided to call back to Ping shan town and call two former workers who worked in the granary to come and work.
Li Haitang didn't ask much about the things in the shop, so he left it to himself to handle, and he was the one who threw his hands off the table and devoted himself to his studies and writing.
After half a month of exams, she hitched a ride to the provincial capital again. This time, Su Tong and Lin Peipei also went with them. They also wanted to see the newly opened luggage wholesale department and Sugar wholesale division, and then look at their own Clothing wholesale division industry.
They still arrived at the wholesale market in the evening. The four small bosses went to the Clothing wholesale division, which was about to close down, and chatted with the employees inside. Then they went to the nearest luggage wholesale department with a smile.
The shop that Xia Lin rented was also more than 100 square meters. There were hundreds of different kinds of schoolbags, backpacks, satchels, handbags, suitcases and so on. Not only Lin Peipei and Su Tong were surprised, but even Li Haitang, who had seen the world, had bright eyes and gave xia lin a thumbs-up.
Xia Lin, who had always been cold and aloof, was amused by the expressions of the three of them and asked them to pick one randomly.
Lin Peipei and Su Tong did not hesitate to pick out a suitcase. It was really a must for travel. When Li Haitang brought one back from Yangcheng, they wanted to buy one, but they could not find a satisfactory style and color. Today, the bags in Xia Lin's shop were so beautiful that they could not choose one.
Li Haitang picked out a freshly styled backpack, which she would use the next time she went out to play, mainly because she liked the four big words embroidered on it, "I'm in my prime." That's right. She's in her prime. Her life has just begun, and the future is bound to be beautiful.
After leaving the luggage wholesale department, Li Haitang took them to his own Sugar wholesale division. At this time, the workers in the shop had just finished their work for today and were sitting at the door of the shop to rest and enjoy the cool.
"Haitang?"
In the distance came four young girls in the same clothes. Li Jianhua, who had sharp eyes, recognized Li Haitang at first sight. They were all wearing Tam city 1 middle school uniforms today. All four of them were tall, but Li Haitang was the tallest, and she was the most conspicuous of the four.
Hearing a familiar voice, she smiled and shouted, "Third uncle!"
For a while, she stopped calling him "Third uncle." After their father-daughter relationship was restored, she still recognized him as a relative. Li Jianhua smiled with relief and shouted to the shop, "Big brother, haitang is here."
Li Jianguo was helping Sister liu with the accounts for the day. When he heard his voice, he immediately looked out and saw through the window that Li Haitang had indeed come. He put down his pen and paper and wiped his sweat before walking out. "Haitang, why are you here today? Why didn't you call in advance?"
"Dad, I've been busy with exams these past two days. I forgot to call." Li Haitang leaned over slightly and introduced him, "Dad, they are all my classmates. The Clothing wholesale division is a joint venture between the four of us. Lin Peipei, you know. The other two are Xia Lin and Su Tong. I told you that Xia Lin and her brother owned the first luggage wholesale department in front of us."
All three of Xia Lin politely shouted, "Hello, uncle!"
Li Jianguo lingered on Xia Lin for another second, his dark face tinged with a gentle smile, and he replied, "Hey, hello." She turned to Li Haitang and said, "Haitang, there are a lot of people coming and going in the shop today. It's not cleaned up yet. Please ask three students to sit outside and rest for a while."
"Well, it's cooler outside. We'll just sit outside." Li Haitang took the initiative to move in a few bamboo chairs and smiled, "The three of you are your own people. I won't be polite to you. Just sit down."
The three of them rolled their eyes at the same time. Su Tong looked inside the shop and pouted, "Li Haitang, we're here to be guests. You should at least bring us some snacks. You don't know that Pepe hasn't been back for half a month, and the snacks at home have already been cut off. Now that the shop is full of snacks and you can't eat them, do you know how uncomfortable it is?"
Li Haitang glared at her and said, "You're starving to death. Are you sure you haven't eaten for half a month? Did the rats finish the snacks in my desk drawer?"
Lin Peipei chuckled. Of the four of them, Su Tong loved snacks the most and ate the most every day. She would have stuffed one into her mouth before brushing her teeth at night, otherwise she would not be able to sleep this night.
Sister liu had just come out with a large tray full of snacks. Hearing their words, he smiled gently and placed the snacks on the table that Li Jianguo had brought over. He smiled and asked, "Haitang, do you want coke or iced soda?"
"Two bottles of soda, two bottles of coke." A small refrigerator was bought in the shop, where coke, soda, or beer were often stored to entertain the customers who came in. The people who worked in the shop were thirsty and tired, so they could drink at will.
The employees in the shop, Li Haitang, the boss, still had a lot of strangers. Under Li Jianguo's introduction, she greeted them one by one and asked with a smile, "Third uncle, Ming Tangshu, everyone Uncle, the work in the shop is a little hard. Can you bear it?"
Li Jianhua held a bottle of beer in his hand, but gave half of it to Li Mingtang. He took a sip and said with a smile, "I can handle it. This job is much easier than doing farm work at home, and it's only a few hours a day when we're really busy. About two hours in the morning and three hours in the afternoon. The rest of the time is relatively free. Everyone just sit here and chat and rest."
Uncle liu, who had a face similar to Uncle liu's, smiled innocently and said, "The work is really not heavy. I used to work in a timber factory. The wood was so heavy that two or three people couldn't lift it. But these sweets were packed in bags. The biggest bag weighed less than 50 jin and could be carried easily. There are also tricycles for transportation, so we can move them when we get in and out of the car. We're not tired at all."
Another man in the granary whom Li Jianguo had called took a puff of his cigarette, and when he laughed, the wrinkles in the corners of his eyes formed several layers. "Haitang, this job is not too tiring. When I worked in the granary with your father in the past, a hundred kilograms of grain had to carry dozens of bags a day. The skin on my shoulders was worn off layer by layer. Now, it has grown a thick layer of cocoons. That's really tiring. Now, you can sleep until seven o' clock every day. You don't have to go to the fields to weed and get medicine before the sun comes out. You don't have to come back from work and take time to pick up feces in the vegetable fields. You just need to take a bath and sit and watch tv and chat. You pay us more than you do at home. Uncle and Uncle appreciate you giving us a chance to earn money."
Others also expressed that they could bear it, and they were telling the truth. The work in the shop was indeed not tiring to them, and the actual working hours were only five or six hours a day, much more relaxed and comfortable than at home, earning more money. She had always expressed her gratitude.
Li Haitang smiled, "All of you, uncle and Uncle, please."
Li Jianguo looked at the time on his watch and asked her, "Haitang, it's just six o' clock. Do you guys have any plans for tonight?"
"I came here today to invite everyone to dinner tonight, but it seems that aunt liu has gone to prepare dinner, so I'll postpone the dinner until tomorrow night."
Li Jianguo smiled and nodded, "Okay." On the day the shop opened, Li Haitang specifically called and asked him to bring everyone to the restaurant to set up a table to celebrate. He asked Liu Fen to book a big box in a nearby restaurant and everyone had a big meal together. Today, her boss came here to express himself.
Li Haitang then chatted with them for a while and made an appointment before going to the hotel with the three of Xia Lin to book a room.
Looking at their slender backs, Li Jianhua sighed, "These four girls will be great children in the future. Not to mention, they have established such a large business at such a young age. They can earn so much money during their studies. I don't know how their families are trained."
Li Mingtang joked, "You should ask brother jianguo how he cultivated haitang. In my opinion, the four of them are still secretly led by haitang."
Li Jianguo listened to their jokes and rubbed his head awkwardly. When it came to raising children, he really didn't put any effort into it. In fact, he still hadn't figured out how Li Haitang, who had grown up under his own nose, could hide his talents.
The other insiders from the same place all smiled. At that time, Li Jianguo was busy working in the granary to earn money, and the family affairs were completely disregarded. It was fortunate that Deng Wenfang that woman did not teach haitang incorrectly.
Sister liu quickly cleaned up the inside and outside of the shop, took the key and walked over, reminding him, "Well, the food over there should be ready for aunt guichun. Let's close the door and go back to eat."
"Okay, let's go."
The four of them found a restaurant nearby that was doing well for dinner. After dinner, Xia Lin went home and the three of them found a hotel nearby to stay.
