After being reborn, the school beauty's entire family knelt down to repent.

Chen Ming smiled at Li Yong: "It's nothing, anyone would stand up for something like this."

Li Yong nodded, then turned his gaze to the elderly man being helped by Chen Ming, and asked with concern:

"Grandpa, are you alright? That was terrifying!"

The old man looked at Li Yong gratefully: "It's nothing, it's nothing, all thanks to this kind young man!"

Li Yong then said to Chen Ming, "Mr. Chen, I see that the old man is too weak to walk. Why don't we let him rest at my shop? My shop is spacious, and he can take a good rest."

After a moment's thought, Chen Ming felt that Li Yong's suggestion was good.

The elderly person's health is indeed not very good, and staying outside any longer is not a solution.

Moreover, Li Yong's shop is located near the entrance to the underground street, which makes it convenient for him to take care of the elderly.

So Chen Ming said to the old man, "Sir, this is Li Yong, also a merchant in our underground street. He would like you to rest in his shop, what do you think?"

Looking into Li Yong's sincere eyes, the old man was filled with gratitude and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Alright, alright, then I'll trouble you, young man."

"No trouble at all, it's my pleasure!" Li Yong quickly said, then helped the old man walk towards his shop.

As Chen Ming watched their departing figures, he felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

He believes that everyone will get better and better in this warm and welcoming underground street!

Chen Ming watched Li Yong and the old man enter the shop before turning back to his office.

He sat in his office chair, gently rubbing his temples, recalling everything that had just happened.

The management of underground shopping malls is becoming increasingly complicated, especially with the prospect of opening internet cafes.

He simply couldn't handle it all by himself...

Suddenly, a figure flashed through Chen Ming's mind—his second uncle, Chen Yishui.

Chen Yishui was honest and kind, conscientious and responsible, and had been unemployed at home for a long time.

If we could ask my second uncle to help manage the underground shopping mall, that would be perfect!

Chen Ming returned home, pondering how to bring it up with his second uncle.

Chen Yishui was an honest and simple man who had spent his entire life working the land. Chen Ming was genuinely a little uneasy about entrusting him with managing the business.

But then I thought, although my second uncle is not very educated, he is honest, hardworking and reliable, which is better than entrusting him to outsiders.

In his previous life, he was completely deceived by Zhao Rou and her treacherous partner because he entrusted himself to the wrong person.

In the end, he lost both his money and his loved ones. He must learn from this experience and entrust important matters to trustworthy people.

After returning home, Chen Ming went directly to his second uncle's house.

During dinner, Chen Ming subtly inquired about his second uncle's recent situation: "Second Uncle, are you busy with farm work lately?"

Chen Yishui shoveled at the porridge in his bowl and smiled憨厚ly: "It's alright. There's not much work to do in the fields now that it's winter, so I can finally take a break."

Chen Ming then asked, "Second Uncle, have you thought about changing your way of life?"

Chen Yishui paused for a moment, his chopsticks hanging in mid-air: "What change in lifestyle? Farming is my way of life."

Chen Ming put down his chopsticks and looked at his second uncle seriously: "Second Uncle, I have a business in S City recently, and I'd like you to help me manage it. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yishui's eyes widened like saucers: "What kind of business? S City? That's a big city! What could I possibly do there?"

Chen Ming explained, "It's a business in the commercial street. You don't need to do any heavy work. You just need to keep an eye on things and collect rent."

Chen Yishui was still somewhat hesitant: "I...I don't know how to do business either."

Chen Ming patted his second uncle on the shoulder: "Second Uncle, don't worry at all. I'll teach you; it's very simple. Besides, would your nephew in S City ever let you suffer?"

Chen Yishui reluctantly agreed: "Well... alright then, I'll give it a try."

The next morning, Chen Ming took his second uncle and set off for S City. (Road)

On the way, Chen Yishui nervously wrung his hands, constantly asking questions:

"Xiaoming, are there a lot of tall buildings in S City? Will I get lost if I go there?"

Chen Ming smiled and comforted him, "Second Uncle, don't worry, I'll always be with you. S City may be big, but it's not as complicated as you think."

Upon arriving in S City, Chen Ming first took his second uncle out for a nice meal to welcome him back.

Upon arriving at the underground shopping street, Chen Ming pointed to the bustling crowds and the dazzling array of goods and said to his second uncle:

"Second Uncle, this is your territory from now on."

Chen Yishui stared in disbelief at everything before him, feeling as if he were dreaming.

He had only ever seen such a bustling scene on television before, and he never imagined that he would one day experience it in person.

Chen Ming led his second uncle to inspect each shop, explaining the business operations and rent information of each store.

Chen Yishui was completely confused and felt like a fool.

"Xiaoming, this...this is too complicated, I...I'm afraid I can't do it."

Chen Yishui's voice was filled with unease.

Chen Ming comforted him, "Second Uncle, don't worry, learn slowly, and ask me if you don't understand. I'll teach you the most basic thing first, which is collecting rent. On the 1st of each month, you take this notebook and go to each shop to collect rent, and then deposit the money you collect into the bank. It's that simple."

Chen Yishui held the small notebook that Chen Ming handed him, feeling its weight, as if a huge mountain was pressing down on him.

At first, Chen Yishui was like a headless fly, and the affairs of the commercial street kept him busy and flustered.

The numbers in the ledgers seemed to dart around in front of him like tadpoles, and the reports gave him a headache.

Several times, he even miscounted the rent, which made him sweat profusely with anxiety.

"Xiao Ming, this...this thing is much harder than hoeing the ground!" Chen Yishui said to Chen Ming with a worried look.

He clutched the ledger tightly in his hand, as if it were a hot potato.

Chen Ming wasn't in a hurry and patiently explained to him, "Second Uncle, don't rush, take your time. Look, I've written down what each column represents for you. Addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division are actually just like calculating grain yield, except they're done with money."

Over the next few days, Chen Ming personally taught his second uncle how to manage the commercial street and how to handle unexpected events.

Although Chen Yishui learned slowly, he was diligent and asked questions whenever he didn't understand something, never being ambiguous about anything.

Chen Ming patiently answered Chen Yishui's questions.

Under his careful guidance, Chen Yishui finally got the hang of it and began to understand those reports and accounts that seemed like gibberish to him.

He gets up before dawn every day, takes the notebook Chen Ming prepared for him, and inspects each shop, checking hygiene and safety meticulously.

A stylishly dressed young woman walked by and curiously peeked in: "Sir, what are you doing? Checking the water meter?"

Chen Yishui smiled憨厚ly, revealing a set of slightly yellowed teeth: "Miss, I'm not checking the water meter, I'm the manager of this commercial street."

The girl covered her mouth in surprise: "Wow, you don't look like it! You manage such a large commercial street? Isn't the owner a young man?"

Chen Yishui scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly: "Actually, my nephew asked me to help manage it. I used to be a farmer, and I'm still learning."
