Chapter 374: Li Wei arrives
Generally, when there are fewer customers in the Roca supermarket, the store manager will stay at the service desk with the financial staff, two of the remaining three people will stay at the door as a greeting staff, and the remaining one will constantly patrol the store or help customers at the customer's place. However, during busy times, except for the financial staff, who can't move, the other four people, including the store manager, all have to circle around the store around the customers.
As for Lai Xiaohu, although no one came to greet him as a boss, he was naturally happy to see his employees working so hard.
"There are so many people in there." After following Lai Xiaohu inside, Tang Gaoqiang and Murong Jing found that it was almost impossible to move inside. There are so many customers who come to buy groceries that no matter which direction you go, there are people in front of you who are blocking the way, and you can even stand at the door and go out in front of others.
"I think we'd better go out." After a while, Murong Jing, who couldn't adapt to this crowded environment, said to Lai Xiaohu.
"Okay then." Seeing that it was really a bit difficult to move inside, Lai Xiaohu could also understand Murong Jing's difficulties. He and Tang Gaoqiang are okay, but Murong Jing is really a little bit of a girl in it, and she feels like she may fall down at any time.
"Wow, there's a suffocating feeling in there." After going out, Murong Jing let out a long breath, "Xiaohu, why don't you open the store a little bigger?" ”
"No way, I also want to make the store bigger, but if you look at the nearby stores, they are almost all so big. That's what was planned when it was built, and I couldn't do anything about it. Regarding this, Lai Xiaohu could only spread his hands to Murong Jing and said that he was also helpless.
The problem reported by Murong Jing was also complained to Zhang Ying by customers before, and later Zhang Ying also told Lai Xiaohu. However, in fact, there are some problems that can be changed carefully after being known, but there are some problems that are really difficult to deal with for the time being. Many customers complained that the store was too crowded during peak hours, and Lai Xiaohu admitted that he did underestimate the enthusiasm of customers for Roca Supermarket at first. I didn't expect so many people to come shopping. But even now that he knows these problems, Lai Xiaohu doesn't have a good way to solve them for the time being.
The biggest problem is naturally that as he said to Murong Jing just now, the stores near here are indeed only so big, and relatively speaking, the stores that Lai Xiaohu is looking for are generally relatively large. The area of about 150 square meters is generally considered a large type in the store. But in the face of so many customers, this more than 100 square meters is similar to the feeling of 20 or 30 square meters. The only way to solve the problems reported by customers is to expand the store area, but this method will not work for the time being.
For this reason, Zhang Ying once gave Lai Xiaohu a place to rebuild the store by herself. Following Zhang Ying's suggestion, re-siting and building a store large enough is indeed a good way to solve this problem. But again, it is not realistic in a short period of time.
Now all the energy of Roca Supermarket is focused on store expansion, and there is no time to take care of this aspect at all. Not to mention the cost of choosing a site to build a store, it will take at least a year to build a store.
Zhang Ying's suggestion, Lai Xiaohu agreed. But if you want to achieve it, you can only wait a few more years, and after a few years, the expansion of Lejia supermarket in the country will be completed, and then it is most appropriate to realize this plan after the staffing is reasonable.
"But although it's very crowded inside, Xiaohu, I have to say that you are really crazy to make money." And Tang Gaoqiang, who came out, was not so depressed. He was more excited after seeing this kind of scene. The traffic of a store is indeed a lot of money.
"Tell the truth." patted Lai Xiaohu's shoulder. Tang Gaoqiang said with envy: "I have the idea of going to the sea to follow you." ”
"Okay." Hearing this, Lai Xiaohu smiled and said directly to him: "I, Lai Xiaohu, welcome this at any time." Fight the tiger brothers, if you come, I will directly put you in charge of a market. ”
But later, Lai Xiaohu stared at him for a few seconds, and then said without a blow: "Are you sure you can pass your father's level?" ”
"This?" Listening to Lai Xiaohu's words, Tang Gaoqiang, who was looking forward to it, immediately became a little helpless, "I'd better go back and think about it again." ”
Just now, I was thinking about how much money Lai Xiaohu made a year, so I was so excited that I had the idea of following Lai Xiaohu. But then Lai Xiaohu's words brought Tang Gaoqiang back to reality. Following Lai Xiaohu is indeed able to make money. But if you want to resign and run here, you have to get permission from your old man first.
For his father, Tang Gaoqiang is still relatively clear, although his father has never said that he will work hard in the officialdom and one day must surpass him, but in fact he still has some expectations for himself. If he went to tell his old man about resigning and going to the sea at this time, Tang Gaoqiang estimated that he would have to be hospitalized that night, and if he couldn't figure it out, he would be hospitalized with the old man.
"Don't think about it, let's go back honestly." In this regard, Murong Jing also said on the side, "Not only can't you pass your father's level, but don't even think about my father's level." ”
"Okay, let's not talk about that." Seeing Tang Gaoqiang's depressed face, Lai Xiaohu changed the topic in time, "I still have five stores in Jincheng, I'll take you to take a general look." ”
After that, Lai Xiaohu took the two of them to shuttle through the city, because the distance between these stores was not too far, so it only took more than an hour for Lai Xiaohu to take them to tell them that all his branches in Jincheng had gone around.
The further they go, the fewer customers there are, and by the time they reach the last two, the morning rush hour has completely passed, and from this time on, except for the evening rush hour, the daytime can only wait for those individual customers to come to the door.
However, there are fewer customers in the store, so it is just right for Tang Gaoqiang and Murong Jing to go in and have a good visit.
"The decoration is very good." After taking a detailed look after entering, Murong Jing praised Lai Xiaohu, "It looks very green and environmentally friendly, just enough to bring out your products." ”
"And the clerks inside are all beautiful." This is Tang Gaoqiang's words, after entering this time, Tang Gaoqiang saw five clerks including the store manager at a glance, and it can be said unceremoniously that the quality and appearance of the clerks alone. Roca supermarket is definitely among the top in the country.
"A good product naturally has to be the best." In response, Lai Xiaohu responded.
And Murong Jing's listening was much more intense than Lai Xiaohu's, "Do you think I'm beautiful?" When he said this, one of Murong Jing's hands was already exerting force on Tang Gaoqiang's body.
It is always a mistake to praise other women for being beautiful in front of women, not to mention that in front of their closest women, Tang Gaoqiang, who knew that he had made a mistake, hurriedly said good things to Murong Jing, "Wife, do you need to ask, you will always be the most beautiful." ”
"That's pretty much it." Hearing this, Murong Jing let go of the hand placed on Tang Gaoqiang's body. Actually, she wasn't really angry. It's just that he just wants to take the opportunity to knock Tang Gaoqiang, lest he lose control. On the other hand, Murong Jing is still relatively confident in her appearance.
She didn't dare to say that she was more beautiful than Song Yaqiao and Zhang Ying she had seen before, because even she had to admit that those two women were really perfect. Not only the looks, but also the temperament. In a word. That's the goddess.
However, she didn't dare to compare Zhang Ying and Song Yaqiao's level of women. But Murong Jing is confident that she is the most beautiful level of goddesses besides Zhang Ying and Song Yaqiao.
If her looks are not good, can Murong Jing be used as a reserve host when she enters the provincial TV station after graduation? Although she entered the TV station in addition to a lot of strength, but her appearance was not good, and even she herself did not dare to make such a request. Moreover, Murong Jing's family background is good, and the temperament she has cultivated in this environment since she was a child is not bad.
After ending the small fight between Tang Gaoqiang and Murong Jing, a few people took a little rest in the store. No one noticed Lai Xiaohu when he entered other branches before, but now there are fewer customers. If the waiter in the store can't find out that the boss is coming, then he really doesn't take him as a big boss seriously.
Lai Xiaohu called the store manager and chatted with her for more than ten minutes, and everything was normal. After that, he left here with Tang Gaoqiang and Murong Jing, who had already visited enough.
After going out. Lai Xiaohu took the two of them to Lejia Supermarket and walked around the headquarters in Jincheng. In fact, there is nothing to look at in it, it is a pure office environment. However, the two of them were more curious about this, so Lai Xiaohu casually took the two of them around.
Lai Xiaohu now has a friend here, naturally he can't go to work normally, in order not to affect the attitude of other people's work, after a general visit, Lai Xiaohu took the two of them out of here.
After going out, Lai Xiaohu said to Tang Gaoqiang: "How about it, do you need me to take you to visit the beautiful scenery of Jincheng?" ”
"Pull it down, I haven't been to any attraction in Jincheng." Tang Gaoqiang said proudly: "Moreover, my familiarity with Jincheng is no worse than yours. ”
"By the way, let's go shopping in the shopping street. Wait until you have time to visit the attractions later. This is Murong Jing's proposal. Women are naturally obsessed with shopping places. And Murong Jing is naturally no exception, she used to hear Tang Gaoqiang tell her how good the commercial street in Jincheng is, and now she has the opportunity to naturally be eager to try.
Needless to say, Lai Xiaohu drove directly to the vicinity of Jincheng's commercial street with the two of them, found a place to park outside, and the three of them walked towards Binjiang Road.
There is still a period of time before noon, and the commercial street has just started to open, but even so, when Lai Xiaohu and the three of them walked over, there were already many people walking on the streets of Binjiang* Road.
Lai Xiaohu and Tang Gaoqiang had no desire to shop, and they just came here to accompany Murong Jing. And with the two fundamentals, Murong Jing didn't have to worry about any burden, in just over an hour, she had already bought four pairs of shoes and six clothes.
Lai Xiaohu can say without exaggeration that Murong Jing is definitely the girl with the strongest shopping ability he has ever seen. Compared to her, Song Yaqiao's shopping ability is simply weak.
However, although he was surprised by Murong Jing's shopping ability, it was not him who spent the money, and one of the four pairs of shoes was still Lai Xiaohu's, so he was very satisfied with this Lai Xiaohu. As for what Tang Gaoqiang thought in his heart, Lai Xiaohu was not clear.
Although Murong Jing buys a lot of things, there is one thing that is very good, that is, he will not buy only for himself. One pair of the four pairs of shoes belonged to Lai Xiaohu, one pair of the remaining three pairs was bought for Tang Gaoqiang, and the two extra pairs were for Tang's father. One pair was bought for her father.
As for the six pieces of clothing, only two were worn by herself, and the remaining four must have been bought for Zhang Ying, Song Yaqiao, and her and Tang Gaoqiang's mothers.
When leaving, Lai Xiaohu and Tang Gaoqiang were carrying five handbags, while Murong Jing walked in front easily. At noon, I made a phone call to Zhang Ying and Song Yaqiao and asked the two of them to come out for dinner.
The five of them went to a hot pot restaurant this time. In June, Jincheng was actually very hot, but the hot pot business, which should have cooled down, was better at this time than in May.
In the words that are popular nowadays, in the scorching summer, while the air conditioner is turned on, the food hot pot is eaten. Babbling is really a great thing in life.
After arriving at the store, Murong Jing took out the clothes she bought for Zhang Ying and Song Yaqiao, "We didn't bring any gifts when we came, these two clothes should be regarded as gifts from us." ”
Seeing that Murong Jing had bought clothes for herself, although she hadn't looked at the style yet. But Zhang Ying and Song Yaqiao were already happy to take it, and then thanked Murong Jing for a while. "Thank you so much."
Soon the waiter came up with the dishes. Lai Xiaohu happened to sit in the closest place to the air conditioner, and asked the waiter to adjust the air conditioner to be a little colder, and several people began to eat happily.
After eating at noon, Lai Xiaohu drove Zhang Ying and Song Yaqiao back to the company, and the car that the two of them drove out of the meal was temporarily driven by Tang Gaoqiang.
In the morning, Lai Xiaohu can also take the two of them to play casually, but from the afternoon. Lai Xiaohu's busy time is coming.
Among the twenty-five people who came to the party this time, the twelve who were already in Jincheng didn't have to worry about Xiaohu, most of them would come to the party tomorrow by themselves. The time of the remaining thirteen people is different, some will come today, and some of them who are closer and think they can come tomorrow are mostly planning to come back tomorrow.
But it doesn't matter when you come. Lai Xiaohu had to go to the reception work, which he stopped by himself, so he naturally had to do it with his heart. They are all former classmates and current friends, so they can't be entertained.
According to the news that Lai Xiaohu got after talking to these people before, except for Tang Gaoqiang, who was the first to come yesterday, the second person who came will probably arrive in Jincheng at one o'clock this afternoon. Later on, others will arrive.
Therefore, after lunch, Lai Xiaohu can't run around, and he has to start preparing for the arrival of his classmates.
I looked at the time, and it was just right. Lai Xiaohu and Tang Gaoqiang drove together in the direction of the train station.
The first one to come in the afternoon was a boy, not from Lai Xiaohu's dormitory, but everyone was okay to play together. The other party's house is quite far from here, and it takes about 20 hours by train. People can have taken the train last night, and then rushed all night and a morning to Jincheng.
Such a long distance, it is so difficult to come to such a trip, and the other party rushed over without saying a word when he heard that there was a party in this situation, so he rushed to this friendship Lai Xiaohu had to run to the train station to meet him in person.
Fortunately, today's train is more punctual, at half past one o'clock Lai Xiaohu received a call from the other party saying that he had arrived at the station and was getting off the train.
A few minutes later, Lai Xiaohu saw his old classmate walk out of it with a woman, it seems that a year after graduation, everyone has begun to put marriage on the agenda.
"Hi Viagra, here." Seeing each other, Lai Xiaohu jumped up and greeted.
This shout directly attracted the attention of everyone at the scene to Lai Xiaohu, although everyone is no longer surprised by the name viagra, but daring to shout it in public can still attract everyone's attention.
Lai Xiaohu's classmate is actually called Li Wei, and it is not that great character, but the homonym is the same, so Lai Xiaohu and they all called him Viagra Brother at the beginning, is it more casual, so Li Wei generally doesn't care too much.
However, being called so by Lai Xiaohu in public, Li Wei suddenly stopped, looked at Lai Xiaohu who he had recruited, and thought in his heart whether he stepped forward or pretended not to know him.
In the end, he didn't see the eyes of the people around him, Li Wei walked to Lai Xiaohu with his girlfriend, but he didn't let Lai Xiaohu speak, so he preemptively said: "Big brother, give me some face, there are so many people." ”
"Li Wei, who already has a wife, is still so shy." However, Tang Gaoqiang on the side took the lead and went up first, gave Li Wei a hug, and then said.
After that, the two sides introduced each other, in fact, it was Li Wei who introduced the women around him to Lai Xiaohu and Tang Gaoqiang, and Tang Gaoqiang introduced Murong Jing to Li Wei.
Lai Xiaohu was right, the woman who was with Li Wei was indeed his wife, but unlike Tang Gaoqiang, she was already married. (To be continued......)
