She’s Hard to Get - C256 shop owner
This was indeed the time when the traditional shops would open, because there was a lot of traffic during this period. Right now, when the shops would open, it would attract a lot of people, but due to Ning Caier’s nervousness, before it was 6 o’clock, she rushed inside the shop and tidied up the clothes inside, including her small gifts and position in the flower baskets.
“Lady Boss, you should rest for a bit. Otherwise, you will have dark circles under your eyes when the restaurant opens.”
Ouyang Jue sat on the sofa and watched Ning Caier organize the small things, he felt that she was really doing it herself. All she needed to do was to put all the candies in the basket, why would she wrap them all in colorful wrapping paper?
“How can we rest? We don’t have enough money to hire people, so we have to do everything by ourselves. Boss, please clean those vases again. There will be fresh flowers for you later.”
Ning Caier methodically handled the shop’s matters. The fresh flowers that were in the shop had already been delivered, other than the few flower baskets at the entrance, most of them were decorations for the shop, although the cost of a bunch of fresh flowers was not high, the amount of money spent on such a set of flowers in the past was not small. However, Ning Caier paid attention to this type of atmosphere, even if she needed less help with her work, she still had to maintain the feeling of the fresh flowers in the shop, this was the best way to give the customers a good impression.
“Understood, Lady Boss.” Ouyang Jue placed emphasis on the two people, the owner and the Lady Boss. This was the true meaning of this shop.
Ouyang Jue and Ning Caier were busy until the sky turned bright, everything had been prepared. In order to not lose face for her reputation as a large corporation, she did not invite any of her cooperative celebrities or TiaoAo Group colleagues to the opening ceremony, in order to prevent Ouyang Gu from finding another topic to talk about.
But Ouyang Jue’s popularity was all over the place. When the young masters heard that he had opened a shop, they came over one after another, thinking that the TiaoAo Group had started some big business, but when they saw the shop’s standard of a hundred and eighty meters, they were all stunned.
“Sir Ouyang, is this your New store? “It seems to be a bit more refined.”
Not to mention selling, even guests like them could not hold such a small shop like this. How could this possibly be the work of the young master of the Ouyang Family, it was just a small gift to the woman?
They had experienced this kind of situation before. There were always some women who did not accept the diamond ring as a gift and only wanted to make a small career for themselves in order to show that they were on their own.
Ning Caier’s current one was more or less the same. Inside, it was all in the style of a Pop, the surrounding walls were painted in blue or pink color, and in the middle, there were a few small American sofas, allowing people to rest.
As best friends, it would be fine. However, if it was just a business deal, the clothes on both sides were too few. Even if they wanted to buy a few, they wouldn’t be able to do so.
All of their eyes drifted over to Ning Caier. Her boss lady had worn her own clothes in order to publicize the clothing of the shop, so she looked like an ordinary girl next door. If they had not received the news beforehand, they would not have believed that the woman who stood quietly by the side was the TiaoAo Group’s previous vice president.
“Of course it’s my New store, even the business license is my name, didn’t you see that?”
‘s relationship with these Wealthy Young Master s were average, and could only be considered as acquaintances. Their appearance here was already out of Ouyang Jue’s expectations, and now that he heard how they viewed this shop with such contempt, he felt even more displeased. It was just that it was inconvenient for the New store to open the door, otherwise, Ouyang Jue would have kicked these people out long ago.
He opened this shop using his own business strategy, not the charity of these rich young masters. That kind of turnover was useless no matter how high it was, and would instead cause Ouyang Gu to criticize him.
“Ouyang, you are the famous No master, such a small business is worth it for you to come here personally. It’s not like you want to earn money by letting women mess with you, alright? Let’s go drink.”
The Wealthy Young Master that came here felt that there was no need for Ouyang Jue to waste time on this kind of small shop. What they were discussing was a big business deal worth tens of millions, and the profit from this kind of small shop would probably not even amount to a single round of wine.
Ouyang Jue put his thoughts into this shop as it would be a waste of his talent and identity. They had a lot of items to discuss with him that they could cooperate with, a single stroke of it would be able to instantly kill a year’s worth of business here.
This is a business that I have worked hard to manage. If I want to develop it to be as strong as the TiaoAo Group, I will naturally have to do it myself.
Ouyang Jue immediately corrected these Wealthy Young Master’s words. He was extremely serious in his business this time, he definitely did not buy a toy for the ladies to play with. Furthermore, he believed that he could start from scratch.
If they wanted to drink, they would go by themselves, not including him. To him, being with them was a true waste of time.
“So you two have really gotten into an argument. It’s alright, we’ve both met this kind of thing before. Say some good words with the old man and you can go back and regain your power.”
They had all been angry with their families before, and felt that they could rely on their own abilities to live outside their homes. However, after leaving their families’ support, they finally realised how difficult this road was, what they could do in the past with a single sentence, and after they no longer had the status of a family background, they might not even be able to run away in a month or two.
Therefore, the one among them who had persisted the longest for only three months, was able to steal money from their family. It would be good if Ouyang Jue was able to persevere for one month.
These Wealthy Young Master s were all standing in the shop and speaking, so Ning Caier could hear what they were saying very clearly. Because she did not have much funds to start the business, the location of this small shop was not to face the young masters or young ladies of rich families. It was only to serve young white-collar workers who had just entered the work force or the students who were about to enter the work force.
Ning Caier had experienced that period, the suits on the market were extremely expensive. The only things they could afford to wear were casual clothes and those local suits that seemed like insurance workers. Hence, she made this shop and designed some professional but not concealing her youthful vigor.
Although the price per unit of such clothing was not high, the audience was not small. Furthermore, it was in a blank spot in the industry, so their turnover should not be low.
She didn’t care if they took care of the business here, but these people were currently blocking the store and commenting on the clothes, which really affected their business. Not to mention the rest, even the luxurious cars parked in front of their door did not dare ordinary people enter the store.
“We father and son do have some conflicts, but I do not lose control of Heavenly Pride. I just want to see if we can start from scratch. Thank you everyone for your kind intentions today.”
Ouyang Gu did not want these young masters to know the current situation of the TiaoAo Group. Otherwise, these people who acted as brothers with him would definitely add insult to injury, and might even join hands with Ouyang Gu to deal with him. This situation was not something that his small shop could afford.
As a result, he lowered his face and made a gesture of sending them off, telling the Wealthy Young Master s to leave immediately. Since they felt that this was a small temple, then he, the temple lord, would not worship them, the great gods.
“We do have matters to attend to, so we’ll be leaving first.”
Those rich young masters who were chased out naturally felt embarrassed. They had found an excuse to leave, but they had to endure it, as Ouyang Jue’s current temperament was not like a shop owner’s, but a complete CEO Tian Ao.
If not for them giving face to Tian Ao and Ouyang Family, how could such a small shop be their match? They probably would have flattened it in the afternoon. When Ouyang Jue was rich and powerful, he didn’t think much of them. Now that he was guarding a small shop, he still didn’t think much of them. It seemed like he would have no hope of climbing onto the TiaoAo Group to do business in his entire life.
“Lady Boss, you can set off the firecrackers now.”
Ouyang Jue cleaned up the crowd, laid out the red firecrackers on the ground and walked around the flower baskets at the entrance. He personally gave an incense stick to Ning Caier, since this was probably the first time such a traditional method of opening a shop, he did not know that the arrangement of the firecrackers were particular, as this method would definitely ignite all the flower baskets.
The other guests were mostly the high ranking members of each corporation, so they didn’t need to personally do these things, so they naturally couldn’t see much. To avoid the deafening sound and the smell of gunpowder, they all stood at a distance, afraid that their clothes would be damaged by the gunpowder.
She saw Ouyang Jue take the incense and immediately walked to the side of the firecrackers to light it up. Someone online said that as long as they could complete the first step of opening the New store and release the firecrackers, they would be able to benefit greatly.
But when Ning Caier walked to the side of the firecrackers, she was suddenly stopped by a shout, and an extremely exaggerated famous car stopped in front of the small shop. The two people in the car only had a glance at the ground before they flew into a rage.
“Wait, who told you to set off firecrackers like that!”
The ones who got out of the carriage were Ling Tian and Xu Mengyun. The two of them had just recovered from their injuries and were able to attend the opening ceremony of the small shop, which gave Ouyang Jue a huge amount of face. The others all gave way to them, but Ling Tian and Xu Mengyun did not walk forward.
The two of them were dressed in casual attire, especially the pair of wide-legged pants that Xu Mengyun was wearing. The pants were a bit long and reached down to cover all of her wounds, if she did not know beforehand, she would not have been able to tell that she was severely injured. Ling Tian’s condition didn’t look bad either, it was just that there was an additional scar on her face.
“Director Xu and Boss Ling have come with a great presence. This little store has brought honor to our humble dwelling. Come on in and have a seat.”
Ouyang Jue courteously said a few words like a little boss. These words were those that he had read online last night, making him feel a little awkward, but this was the result of a month of research. The most important thing about small businesses was that they were friendly. Only by doing this could they get along with everyone.
