A top student transmigrates into a book: Reborn in the 90s and rises to prominence.

Jiang Zheyuan even suggested that he would invest after they got their marriage certificate.

This constitutes marital property.

Shao Wanwan waved her hand and said, "Doing business is all about timing. In case of unforeseen circumstances, although the hotel is premarital property, the hotel's profits are post-marital, so it doesn't matter."

Not long after the money was invested, renovations began, and it's estimated that it will be open for business in about three months.

The book describes Jiang Zheyuan as someone who has never attended such a gathering of big shots.

Firstly, he was still a student and young, and secondly, Jiang Zheyuan didn't like to join in the fun.

If the original owner were taken along, their eyes would definitely be fixed on the rich second-generation, so it's better to avoid trouble.

Even without attending any parties, the original owner still managed to hook up with a rich second-generation street racer.

This time, it's better to avoid these resources altogether.

"Sure! Let's go. Anyway, it's the holidays now, and there aren't many people in the supermarket. Sister Zhao and Sister Sun can manage." The supermarket is still in the stocking stage, and it won't be officially open until the start of the school term.

Shao Wanwan and Zhao Hui had agreed to open the business a few days before the start of the school term. They planned to hire a dragon and lion dance troupe to create a lively atmosphere for a few days, and then distribute flyers like crazy and organize some activities once school started.

“Now that you mention it, I remember something. My uncle knows a big shot in the wholesale industry. He’s very elusive, only showing up at the year-end party. We can ask him for advice then, and see if we can get some goods from him. We can also apply for some opening promotions, like buy-one-get-one-free or opening discounts. That way, our supermarket will definitely be a hit as soon as it opens.” Jiang Zheyuan only remembered this after Shao Wanwan mentioned it.

The main thing is that this person was quite powerful and influential at that time.

However, he was later arrested for manipulating stock prices, but that was more than 20 years later.

He's only thirty-seven or thirty-eight years old now, and he's from the same generation as his uncle and his younger uncle.

He had come to see Jiang Zheyuan before he was arrested, but the matter had blown up and Jiang Zheyuan had no choice but to clear his name.

Jiang Zheyuan had heard his uncle and younger uncle talk about him countless times. They all said that he was very honest. In 1999, when counterfeit goods were rampant, his wholesale stall never sold counterfeit goods. He also specially made a kind of metal sticker with an anti-counterfeiting number on it. He would put this anti-counterfeiting label on the outside of the plastic bags for categories such as cigarettes and alcohol that were easily occupied by counterfeit goods.

As long as the anti-counterfeiting code is present, he will compensate ten times the price if it is a fake.

So, relying on this, the business quickly grew into a large and successful enterprise.

There are now dozens of wholesale stalls.

The annual turnover is conservatively estimated at over 20 million.

The worst thing for a supermarket owner is to buy counterfeit goods. If the business administration finds out, they're really in deep trouble.

Therefore, having a reliable supplier is really important.

"When we were stocking our supermarket, it was Sister Zhao who found the people. She had to check each item to make sure it was genuine and not fake, which was incredibly troublesome. If she found a fake, the supplier would make excuses and even try to persuade her to sell counterfeit goods, saying they would give her a share. We contacted several wholesalers, but they all complained that Sister Zhao's small shop was too small to sell many items. After all that trouble, it was still the same few suppliers who were willing to deliver, but the prices weren't particularly good. After they took a portion of the profit, what Sister Zhao and I got was really limited. So Sister Zhao and I said we would take our time stocking before the New Year, no rush, and we would look for more. But then, like a pillow delivered to our door, we had to go for it!" Shao Wanwan said excitedly, her eyes shining.

When Zhao Hui used to run a small shop, she was most afraid of encountering counterfeit goods, so she developed the ability to identify them.

Some suppliers took advantage of her being a woman and treated her differently. At first, they all sent her genuine products, but once they saw that she wasn't checking much, they started mixing genuine and fake products.

Zhao Hui complained to Shao Wanwan many times.

But honestly, she can't solve this problem either.

Back in the 1990s, many brands had weak anti-counterfeiting awareness. They only needed to recycle the packaging, and the contents were only genuine – either the bottle or the outer packaging. But if you called the anti-counterfeiting hotline, it would be genuine.

Because the packaging is genuine.

Zhao Hui had suffered in silence several times.

Fortunately, it's just a small shop, and many people don't even consider it a good fit, so as long as she keeps a close eye on things, these kinds of incidents don't happen very often.

But if it's a large supermarket, and there aren't reliable suppliers, Zhao Hui would definitely be exhausted.

For a supermarket to open, besides customer traffic, the most important thing is the source of goods.

“Okay, I’ll tell my uncle and my younger uncle. They’ll definitely be very happy. My parents don’t like doing business and just want to make a living on their fixed salaries. They’re afraid I’ll be all talk and no action. If they knew we were willing to do business, they would definitely be happy to help us out.” Jiang Zheyuan was also happy.

Shao Wanwan gave Jiang Zheyuan a deep look.

You're being a little too modest, kid.

The professor's mother and the principal's father are jokingly referred to by you as people who only receive a fixed salary.

Is it not good that they come from a family with a long tradition of scholarship?

However, considering Jiang Zheyuan's later achievements, he is indeed impressive.

She didn't say anything more.

"I've never been to such an occasion before, and I don't know how to dance ballroom dance. Will people laugh at me for being like Cinderella?" Shao Wanwan said after putting away the marriage certificate and fastening her seatbelt.

Shao Wanwan's greatest skill from childhood to adulthood has always been reading.

Besides that, she had no other hobbies or special skills.

Because of my sharp mind, I learn things very quickly and have an exceptional memory for words and images. So, once I get the hang of something, I tend to put it aside.

The so-called "three-minute enthusiasm".

Aside from studying and taking exams, there's really nothing she sticks to.

So when I was in college, I joined the dance club and went four or five times, but I ended up spending more time in the library.

“It’s okay, I’ll take you. There are still five days until the banquet, I believe you can definitely learn. Let’s go to the mall to pick out clothes first! It’s too late to order a custom-made one now. By the way, my cousin studies wedding dress design. She found out I’m getting engaged and said she’ll take care of the engagement dress. She told us to go to her studio when we have time.” Jiang Zheyuan took out his phone, glanced at the memo, and said.

In the month leading up to the Lunar New Year, ordinary families are busy preparing for the holiday.

The Jiang family, with their countless gatherings, big and small, didn't stop until the second day of the Lunar New Year.

Reading books used to be one kind of feeling, but now learning to immerse oneself in it is another.

Shao Wanwan nodded.

In the book, the original owner's engagement dress was bought from a bridal shop.

So this was the first time Shao Wanwan had heard of this cousin.

"I've never heard you mention this cousin before," Shao Wanwan asked curiously.

“She’s not my biological cousin, she’s my mom’s cousin’s daughter. We’re not related by blood, and we didn’t grow up together. In fact, we’ve barely spoken to each other. My mom thought our engagement was a big deal, so she went to her parents’ house. That’s when my cousin found out. She said she wanted to make you an engagement dress as a gift. She hadn’t mentioned it to you before because I’m not close to her. She just came back from studying in Paris last year and opened a wedding dress studio.”
