Flowers in full bloom

Mrs. Pei was relieved. When she saw the analysis chart that Hua Lei made for the Pearl Shop, she was even more surprised. She never expected that Hua Lei could think of so many things. Many key points were really something that only a shopkeeper who had been in business for decades could think of. Hua Lei looked at Mrs. Pei's silent expression and was a little nervous, "Grandma Pei, is it inappropriate or won't work?"

"Okay, I think it's very good. You've thought it through very carefully and considered many things. You've also personally checked out the surrounding area. There is indeed only one larger bookstore in Xicheng District. Although the Pearl store is not on West Street, West Street happens to be a gathering place for some wealthy businessmen. There are many businessmen who can afford high-quality imitations of calligraphy and paintings, as well as families who have spare money to buy storybooks and picture albums.

Their characteristic is that they have a lot of money and are very generous. Lei'er's targeted approach is very suitable. We can try it first, and then slowly adjust the direction and add more choices. " "Grandma, you think it's okay, right? That's great, I've decided, I'll open a bookstore." Zhenzhu stood up and waved her hand, full of heroic spirit.

Madam Pei nodded, "Well, I think it's feasible." "Grandma Pei thinks it's really feasible, not just to coax us?" Madam Pei smiled, "Lei'er, I heard that your bookstore and restaurant are doing very well. It's only been more than three months, and other people's shops are probably still losing money and exploring the stage, but your two shops are making money right away, right?"

Hua Lei's fair face blushed and she nodded, "To be honest with Grandma Pei, it's okay. We've made a profit, and it's not bad." Hua Lei leaned forward and whispered a few words in Grandma Pei's ear.

"Really? That's great. I knew you were a smart person. I didn't expect you to do so well in such a short time." Madam Pei patted Hua Lei's hands and said with a smile.

"It's not easy to do well in this business. But Lei'er, don't work too hard. It's hot recently. Don't rush to do things in the afternoon. You should take more rest. If there are things that the girls can help with, let them help. There's nothing to be embarrassed about. You can go further if you learn to control others. If you rely on yourself, you will tire yourself to death. Do you understand what I mean?

I know you've done a good job. You've managed the entire Qihua Courtyard well, and the maids and old women are tight-lipped. You've done a good job of tempting them with benefits and emotions, but sometimes you have to maintain a little prestige, you know? You have to make people fear you, so that they won't dare to betray you when they are tempted by greater benefits. You have to take action when it's time, don't be afraid of trouble, don't think about swallowing your anger, you know?

There are many people in this world who bully the weak and fear the strong, and many people who are self-righteous. If someone takes advantage of you, you should give him back ten feet. No matter it is a favor or a grudge, you should do this, understand?" Mrs. Pei said earnestly.

"Yes, Grandma Pei, Hua Lei understands." "Sometimes you have to be tolerant because you are not strong enough, so you should work hard to make yourself stronger. You have done a good job in this regard, but you also have to know that sometimes when you kneel for too long, you will no longer have the courage to stand up?" Old Madam Pei said meaningfully.

"Yes, Grandmother Pei, Hualei will learn from you." "You still need to take care of your own health. Xiaoyuan has been better recently, but you are still a little thin." "Yes." Mrs. Pei patted Hualei's arm. When she thought of the food in Qihuayuan during this period, she wanted to slap the girl. At first, even she was kept in the dark. Later, she knew about it. She wanted to test the girl's temper and didn't intervene. She was satisfied with the result of the test, but the girl seemed to be thinner. Mrs. Pei was a little upset.

Pearl squeezed in, hugged Mrs. Pei's waist and said, "Grandma, do you dislike me now and like Sister Hua? I won't agree." Mrs. Pei laughed and tapped Pearl's forehead, "You are a girl who has never been willing to suffer a loss since childhood." Everyone in the room laughed. Although Pearl likes to act like a spoiled child, she is also a decisive and action-oriented person.

The next day, after the girls' school was dismissed, she followed Hualei again, saying that she wanted to go to Hualei's bookstore to take a look and learn from her. Hualei asked Qingying to report to Old Madam Pei, and then the two of them left from the back door in a carriage and headed straight for Qingyun Lane. Today, Zhenzhu also followed Hualei's example and asked Qingzhu and Qinglan to make a messenger bag overnight, in which she put a small notebook, charcoal pencils and other miscellaneous things.

Then I stayed in Huaji Bookstore for more than an hour and decided to ask Uncle Fu to help find a bricklayer to make a partition for my shop, which would be used as a warehouse and a small repair room. Now there is one shopkeeper and two assistants in the shop. With the repair room, when there are not many customers, one person can guard the shop and two people can repair. If there are many customers and one person cannot serve them in time, the people in the repair room can come out to serve them, which is flexible. And put a few bookshelves against the wall, a little higher, fixed to the wall, so that more books can be placed, which is better than piling them up in the corner of the room. And it has privacy. This is what Hualei suggested.

Ask Xiaoqun to help customize desks and bookshelves for her bookstore, and make them according to the style of Huaji. Hualei gave Xiaoqun the size she measured yesterday without hesitation. Thinking that her shopkeeper and clerk had no experience, she decided that one person would stay in the shop to assist the bricklayer from tomorrow, and the other two would go to Huaji Bookstore to learn how to sell books. This was a suggestion made by Zhenzhu after Hualei suggested that Xiaoqun go to Xicheng District to help guide her. Then she and Xile decided to bring her shopkeeper and clerk with her to various purchase routes to familiarize themselves with the way.

Zhenzhu racked her brains in the bookstore, and after thinking of everything and writing everything down in her little notebook, she decided to go back home. But looking at the sun still hanging high in the west sky, she suddenly proposed to go to the Imperial College to find Rong Jin, and ask Rong Jin to treat her to a meal at the restaurant to celebrate her opening of a bookstore. This proposal made Hualei hesitate. But Zhenzhu hugged Hualei's waist and shook her, and Hualei couldn't resist. She remembered Rong Jin's silent expression at the back door when she returned to the mansion that day, and thought it would be good to go and take a look.

So the carriage drove for another half an hour, and Hualei and Zhenzhu stood at the gate of the Imperial College. Hualei looked at the tall gate and couldn't help but think of the feeling she had when she visited the highest institution of learning during the summer vacation in her previous life and stood at the gate of the highest institution of learning. The feeling of admiration and desire once again lingered in Hualei's heart.

At this time, at the gate of the Imperial College, occasionally two or three students came out, wearing blue student uniforms, and hurried to the snack street outside the school or the nearby restaurant. Some of them did not want to go to the Imperial College canteen for dinner, and ran outside to have a bite. Some just came out to get some fresh air. There were also some people dressed as servants at the school gate, who were delivering dinner to the young master of the Imperial College. There were also a few servants who came out to take dinner to the Imperial College. Zhenzhu had already spent three cents to hire an agent at the school gate to invite Pei Rongjin.
