Zhao Jing's eyes flashed: "What are you in a hurry? Didn't sister just say that I wanted to give you a discount!"
"How about coming to my house tonight to discuss it in detail? There happens to be a bottle of red wine sent by a friend that hasn't been opened yet."
I didn't expect that Zhao Jing would take this step: "Business is business, and you can get as much as you want."
/>
Zhao Jing looked at me with a faint smile but not a smile: "My brother is getting more and more boring."
She took out the contract from her bag and handed it over, her tone was businesslike, "I've prepared the contract, you can sign it for as many years as you want!"
"This is best." I took the contract and read it carefully.
In the end, I decided to rent it for 5 years. Stability is what matters in business, so I won’t change places casually after I decide this time.
If we expand further, we will open a branch store, and this will be the flagship store.
Zhao Jing handed me the key to the shop: "You really don't want to go to my place for a drink?"
"No, there are still a lot of things to do!" I politely refused.
Now I just want to work hard in my career and don’t want to mess with women anymore.
Besides, Zhao Jing is too shrewd, so it is better to keep a distance to avoid getting involved in business in the future.
After seeing off Zhao Jing, I immediately drove to pick up Qin Xue.
She hurriedly got into the passenger seat and asked while fastening her seat belt: "Boss, where are you taking me in such a hurry? The store is still busy."
"I just rented a new store and I will show you how to decorate it." I turned and drove into the street.
"Where did you rent it?" Qin Xue turned her head curiously.
"Just turn the corner ahead." I raised my hand and pointed to the intersection ahead.
A few minutes later, the car stopped steadily in front of the newly rented store.
Qin Xue followed me into the empty shop, looked around and sighed: "This space is much bigger than the current one!"
"Two floors, each floor is more than 80 square meters." I introduced.
"Two floors?" Qin Xue opened her eyes wide, "Isn't this too big?"
"Get it right in one step, saving you the trouble of having to move again when the business is good."
I led Qin Xue up to the second floor, "I'll leave it to you how to arrange the store."
Qin Xue walked around the second floor and looked at every corner carefully: "The area is really big, but fortunately the basic decoration has been completed. We will mainly add some medicine cabinets and display racks."
"Okay, if you are free these two days, please take the trouble to make a shopping list for me." I handed her a store key.
Because the old store is still open, I will send her back after visiting the new store.
After the car entered the main road, I took the initiative to speak: "After the new store opens, your salary will be increased by five thousand, and you will be given a 3% profit commission."
I understand that in order to retain talents like Qin Xue, we must show enough sincerity. A salary increase is undoubtedly the most direct way.
"This...this is too much. You know our pharmacy has just started..." Qin Xue declined quickly.
I interrupted her: "You are totally worthy of this number. To be honest, without you, this store would not be where it is today."
There was a brief silence in the car. After this salary adjustment, her monthly income will easily exceed 20,000 yuan from next month.
When she looked up again, her eyes shone with determination, "After the new store is expanded, the supply of medicinal materials will be more!"
This is what I appreciate most about Qin Xue. She never betrays the trust of others and always redoubles her efforts to repay her.
"I know, I will contact the medicinal material supplier again in the next few days." I sent Qin Xue back to the old store and left.
Going back with a midnight snack in the evening, I placed the packed fried rice noodles in front of Lin Xiaoyu and sat down next to her.
"Xiao Yu, I plan to visit your hometown in a few days to see how your cousin's purchase of medicinal materials is going."
She opened the takeout and said, "If you want to go, just go. You don't need to tell me specifically."
"I wanted to ask you if you want to go back together?" I broke open the disposable chopsticks and handed them to her.
She took the chopsticks: "The hospital has been busy recently, so I can't leave."
"But Xiaoqing has been clamoring to go back to her hometown. If it's convenient for you, take her with you."
A few days later, on the weekend, I specially prepared two bottles of Maotai and some nutritional supplements, and drove Lin Xiaoqing to the highway leading to her hometown.
The fields outside the car window receded quickly, and Lin Xiaoqing suddenly turned her face: "Brother-in-law, are you having a conflict with your sister?"
I smiled nonchalantly and said, "No, why do you ask that?"
But my heart tightened. Could it be that she noticed that Lin Xiaoyu and I broke up?
"I just feel like you guys have been acting weird lately." She tilted her head.
"It's nothing, don't make random guesses, your sister and I are getting along well!"
During the next trip, Lin Xiaoqing and I rarely spoke.
A few hours later, when we got off the highway, the car had turned onto the county road.
Hence not long after, I saw Mother Lin standing at the gate of the courtyard, looking around. As soon as she saw our car, she quickly turned around and shouted into the house: "They are back!"
Lin Xiaoqing jumped out of the car first like a cheerful bird and jumped into her mother's arms.
Father Lin came out of the house after hearing the sound and saw me taking out the gift from the trunk, with a happy smile on his face.
"Come back as soon as you come back, what are you doing with so many things?" Father Lin took the Maotai in my hand.
Mother Lin held her daughter's hand but kept glancing into the car: "Where's Xiaoyu? Didn't you come back with you?"
"Sister is busy at the hospital and can't leave." Lin Xiaoqing rushed to answer.
While walking into the courtyard with my mother on my arm, "Mom, I'm starving!"
I took the tea from Father Lin and directly explained the purpose of my visit: "Uncle, is my cousin at home today? The main reason I came here is to buy some black films from him."
Father Lin pushed his reading glasses to his forehead and took out his mobile phone: "You sit down and have a sip of tea first. I'll call and ask."
He dialed the number and walked toward the house, his voice gradually getting blurry: "Third brother... Well, Xiao Chen is here... I just want to ask you about the batch of black films..."
Through the window, he saw Father Lin making famous hand gestures in the yard, and the other end of the phone seemed to be chatting animatedly.
Father Lin walked back with his cell phone in hand, with a smile on his face: "He is at home. He said that the new batch of goods is very good, I guarantee you will be satisfied."
I put down the tea cup and stood up: "Then let's go there now?"
"No hurry, he will be here in a minute!" Father Lin responded.
After a while, the sound of a tricycle braking was heard outside the courtyard gate. A loud voice came from far away: "Brother! I heard that Xiao Chen is here?"
Hunter Tang strode in with two sacks on his shoulders, his bronze face full of smiles.
He put the sack on the ground and patted the dust on his hands: "These are carefully selected high-quality goods, guaranteed to satisfy you!"
He untied the knot of the sack, and a strong medicinal fragrance suddenly filled the air.
"You've taken the trouble." I knelt down and carefully checked the quality of the medicinal materials, feeling secretly satisfied. These are indeed much better quality than what is commonly available on the market.
Uncle Tang's eyes turned into two slits when he smiled: "My family doesn't use polite words. Just ask for whatever you want, the price will definitely be fairer than the market!"
Mr. Lin was making tea aside: "Drink some tea first and talk slowly. . These medicinal materials are just waiting for an expert like you to collect them."
Lin Xiaoqing curiously picked up a black tablet and looked at it, but her uncle gently slapped her hand away: "Girl, don't move, this is the medicinal material your brother-in-law wants!"
