After sending the photos to the Photo Studio's Boss, Chen Haoxuan turned to Chen Yina and said, "Nana, let's go to Pingyuan County! I want you to see how great my supermarket is."
"Sure, I've been wanting to check it out. I'm sure Brother Xuan's supermarket is big and wonderful," Chen Yina replied happily.
"Of course! Let's go say hi to Auntie and then we'll head out," Chen Haoxuan said.
Chen Yina quickly ran home, greeted her family, and then got into Chen Haoxuan's car to head to Pingyuan County.
Chen Haoxuan drove Chen Yina to the entrance of the Supermarket. Inside the car, Chen Yina noticed how lively it was outside and asked Chen Haoxuan, "Brother Xuan, why is it so bustling here?"
"It's because I invited so many people for the lion dance," Chen Haoxuan answered with a smile.
"Brother Xuan, don't tell me this supermarket is yours?" Chen Yina asked in confusion.
"Yes! Why? Does it not look like it?" Chen Haoxuan said with a grin.
"This—how is that possible? You just opened it in a few days. You didn't buy someone else's supermarket, did you? Otherwise, how could you open for business in just a few days?" Chen Yina asked curiously.
"This building didn't have a supermarket before. Besides the shops on the first floor, the second floor and above were all residential. I rented out the first, second, and third floors and had Wang Long's renovation team work day and night. While they were busy renovating, I got to know many manufacturers of daily necessities through Zhou Xiang's introductions. I ordered a large amount of goods from those manufacturers. As for the staff, I borrowed them from others. Additionally, I invited many merchants to cooperate with me so they could sell their products in my supermarket.
The motorcycles, bicycles, cars, phones, and other goods in the supermarket belong to other merchants. They need to follow my management while selling here and pay me rent every month. I've calculated that these rents add up to about a hundred thousand each month. They help share the rent burden and attract many consumers. Collaborating with these merchants is definitely beneficial for me," Chen Haoxuan explained.
"Brother Xuan, you're amazing! You've opened such a large-scale supermarket in such a short time; I really admire you," Chen Yina said with stars in her eyes as she looked at Chen Haoxuan. She truly felt that he was incredible; opening a supermarket of that scale usually takes at least half a month, but Chen Haoxuan managed it in just a few days. People who can achieve such speed are rare in this world.
"Let's get out of the car! I'll take you to see the supermarket," Chen Haoxuan said to Chen Yina.
As they entered the supermarket, Chen Yina exclaimed, "Brother Xuan, your supermarket looks so upscale!"
"The technology in this era is too backward; otherwise, I could make it even better," Chen Haoxuan replied. The design of the supermarket was inspired by the style of Future Century supermarkets, which made Chen Yina feel that it was quite luxurious at first glance.
Chen Haoxuan's supermarket was large, with many consumers shopping inside. It took them over half an hour to walk through the entire place.
After finishing their tour of the supermarket, Chen Haoxuan took Chen Yina to his office. Upon entering, they saw Miao Yuxiang handling documents inside.
When Miao Yuxiang noticed someone had entered, she looked up and saw Chen Haoxuan and Chen Yina. She happily said, "Boss, hello! Nana, you're here too! I haven't seen you for a few days; I almost missed you to death." Miao Yuxiang had a good relationship with Chen Yina because there were not many young women in Chen Family Village. Most young people were either studying or working, and while there were many older women, Miao Yuxiang felt a cultural gap with them due to her university education. Thus, she only had common ground with Chen Yina.
"Xiangxiang, your position is getting higher and higher! You're looking more and more like a white-collar worker," Chen Yina joked.
"Even if I rise higher, I can't surpass you as the future Boss!" Miao Yuxiang joked back. She felt fortunate for choosing to work with Chen Haoxuan; otherwise, she would just be an ordinary worker without her current status. Although she was now a secretary managing hundreds of staff members, her authority was second only to Chen Haoxuan's.
"Xiangxiang, Nana and I haven't eaten yet! Can you help us buy two fast meals from the restaurant in the supermarket and also make us two cups of coffee?" Chen Haoxuan said to Miao Yuxiang. Having a secretary was great; many tasks could be delegated.
Chen Yina sat on the sofa in the office and said to Chen Haoxuan, "Brother Xuan, I remember that the mall opened by Chen Haorong is nearby. You know that, right?"
"I know! That's why I opened my supermarket here. It's just one building away from his mall. I'm doing this to vent my frustrations. You know them; I've never actively sought trouble with them, but they keep coming after me! I can't hold back anymore; I need to fight back," Chen Haoxuan said angrily.
"Oh." Chen Yina didn't know how to comfort him. Hearing him say this made her feel sad for him. She thought that if she were in his shoes and her family treated her that way, she wasn't sure if she could endure such blows.
In a bustling food stall, Chen Haorong was conversing with a red-haired thug. "Red Hair, you're a know-it-all; you must know where to hire a hitman. Tell me, and I'll give you RMB as a consultation fee."
"Brother, it's not that I don't want to help you, but hiring a hitman is a dangerous business! If you or the hitman gets caught and spills the beans on me, I'll be an accomplice and could end up in prison. You should understand my position," Red Hair said with a sly grin, making the situation sound serious just to squeeze out more money.
"Two thousand," Chen Haorong replied, holding up two fingers.
"Three thousand, and I'll help you hire a skilled hitman," Red Hair countered.
"How skilled? Don't try to fool me with some low-life thug," Chen Haorong asked.
"Let me tell you, this hitman is something else. He used to run a small convenience store. When a dozen thugs demanded protection money from him, he snapped and killed all of them with a kitchen knife. Later, he got caught by the police, but after just a few days in jail, he killed a guard, disguised himself in the guard's uniform, and escaped. After that, he started his business of murder and robbery. You should feel reassured now," Red Hair said.
