Reborn in the 90s, I traded my ex-husband for eight apartments.

Liu Huiying opened the box with suspicion.

Inside was a gold necklace.

She glanced at it once and quickly closed the box, stuffing it into Bai Zhenzhu's hands as if it contained some terrifying monster.

"No, no, I absolutely cannot accept this."

"You pay me such a high salary, let Jiajia and me live here, and lent me so much money to buy a house, Pearl, I owe you so much. I really can't accept such an expensive gift."

Even her and Jiajia's clothes throughout the year were almost all covered in white pearls.

If Shuo Shuo has it, Jia Jia will definitely have it too.

As she spoke, Liu Huiying's eyes reddened.

Bai Zhenzhu sighed:

“You deserve your salary. You work long hours every day and are more dedicated to the clothing store than I am the owner.”

"Also, with you here, I can go to the port city for so long without worry."

“Huiying, we are not blood sisters, but in my heart you are my sister.”

She placed the box into Liu Huiying's palm and said with a smile:

“Jewelry is cheap in the port city, so I buy a lot. Not only do you have it, but my three sisters-in-law and Xia He also have some.”

Hearing that Liu Fang and the others also had it, Liu Huiying felt a little relieved.

But she was still embarrassed to accept such an expensive gift. Besides knitting a sweater for Shuo Shuo, there was nothing else she could do.

Bai Zhenzhu ignored her and gave Jiajia a pink dress and a pair of little leather shoes.

Jiajia jumped for joy.

Shuo Shuo took the gifts into the house to think about them himself; besides clothes, there were also toys he liked.

Bai Zhenzhu then gave Sister Luo a personal item and a set of skincare products.

Sister Luo excitedly wiped her hands on her apron and accepted it with both hands:

"Me too."

Bai Zhenzhu smiled and said:

"Everyone has one. Xiao Yu can use the Walkman; it's quite convenient for learning English."

Sister Luo was overjoyed:

"Alright, alright, I heard about this little trinket from Xiao Yu. It's very valuable, Pearl. Thank you so much. I'll accept it without hesitation."

Shuo Shuo and Jia Jia already had the Walkman that Zhong Ting had given them last time, so Bai Zhenzhu wouldn't give it to them.

The rest I'll bring back to Bai Wenbo and the others next time I go to Yuan County.

When Shuo Shuo heard Bai Zhenzhu mention Xia He, he happily said:

"Mom, my godmother said she'll be coming over in a while."

Last month, Xia He came to Chengdu and said she wanted to continue opening a shop there, but she couldn't find a suitable shop.

It seems there's some progress on the shop matter.

Bai Zhenzhu was also very busy afterward. The Yunxiang Clothing Store had been renovated, and the next step was to prepare for its opening.

First, obtain business licenses and tax registration certificates, etc.

During this period, Liu Huiying recruited a total of eight sales clerks, all of whom were placed in the store in Mingzhu Plaza to familiarize themselves with the business.

However, Bai Zhenzhu felt that there were still not enough people, so she asked Liu Huiying to recruit two more.

The store needs a cleaner.

Zhou Ting blushed and asked if his mother could come and do the cleaning. He said he could give up his room for his mother to stay in, and he could just set up a folding bed in the living room.

Bai Zhenzhu smiled and said:

"Of course."

Zhou Ting gratefully saluted.

Only after he finished paying his respects did he realize that he was no longer a soldier.

It's a bit sad.

Bai Zhenzhu also felt a little uneasy.

The next day, Zhou Ting's mother came over. She was a woman who looked very weathered and was not yet fifty years old.

Bai Zhenzhu then learned that Zhou Ting's father had passed away when he was very young, and his mother had raised him alone.

Because of the hard work, he looks much older than his peers.

She was a very resilient and hardworking woman. When she came, she brought a lot of homemade cured meat and dried vegetables. She was very grateful to Bai Zhenzhu.

Thinking that the mother and son lived a bit far from Bai Chengxiang's place, Bai Zhenzhu decided to simply rent a house for them to live in nearby.

If we let them find a house themselves, they probably won't be able to find a suitable one; only she can handle it herself.

As luck would have it, someone in Wutong Lane happened to be selling a house.

It's a single-story house with a small courtyard, and it's quite large, with three bedrooms.

The house is a bit old, but that's okay.

This house is in an even better location than Teapot Lane, and it will definitely be demolished in the future.

Without hesitation, Bai Zhenzhu bought it and had Zhou Ting and her son move in.

Zhou Ting's mother is named Zhang Cuie. During this period, the clothes hangers that Bai Zhenzhu ordered arrived one after another. Without Bai Zhenzhu's instructions, she stayed in the store to watch the workers install them and cleaned up from time to time, wiping all the newly arrived clothes hangers clean.

With something to do and her son by her side, Zhang Cuie was in very good spirits.

Once all the shelves are assembled, it's time to stock them with goods.

Only two people stayed at the Mingzhu store; the rest of the people followed Liu Huiying to the new store to stock up on goods.

The summer clothes that Bai Zhenzhu ordered in Guangzhou have arrived one after another, and then a problem arose.

There aren't enough cars.

Now all the goods are delivered directly to the warehouse by large trucks, and sometimes even vans that can't fit everything can be used to carry some.

Moreover, the goods for Mingzhu store need to be shipped from the warehouse, so if Zhou Ting needs a car, Bai Zhenzhu won't have a car to use.

So Bai Zhenzhu decided that she wanted to buy a car.

Upon hearing that Bai Zhenzhu was going to buy a car, Ge Minjing and Zhong Ting were overjoyed and insisted on going together to help her choose one.

In the end, Bai Zhenzhu spent over 90,000 yuan to buy a white Xiali.

Ge Minjing told her to choose red, while Zhong Ting told her to choose yellow. Both of these colors are very popular right now, and they are in short supply. There is no stock available.

Bai Zhenzhu wouldn't listen to anyone, chose white, and there was one available.

Seeing Che Zhongting nod:

"Sister Bai drives a white car, that's a perfect match."

Ge Minjing also said happily:

"That's true, white is good, I want white."

After picking up the car, I treated the two of them to skewers for lunch.

Zhong Ting was extremely envious:

"I'm going to buy a car later."

As the weather gets warmer, her KTV business is getting better and better. Last month, her share of the profits alone was more than 30,000 yuan.

"I'll bear with it for now, lest my dad hit me with the sole of his shoe again."

Bai Zhenzhu and Ge Minjing couldn't stop laughing.

In the afternoon, Bai Zhenzhu drove to pick up Shuo Shuo and Jia Jia from school.

Shuo Shuo was overjoyed to see his mother change cars, and he touched and explored everything in the car.

"Mom, is this car really ours?"

"Ah."

Shuo Shuo's eyes lit up:

"Mom, you're amazing."

Jiajia also happily said:

“Aunt Bai, you’re much more impressive than the dads of my classmates. Your family owns two cars.”

White Pearl patted their heads:

"You can't compare how great someone is. Money is the least valuable thing; knowledge is the most precious."

"Study hard, and you will be even more amazing than me in the future."

As parents, emphasizing the importance of learning anytime, anywhere seems to be ingrained in our bones.

On the 28th of the month, the new store officially opened.

Bai Chengxiang specially closed the shop for a day to come and help.

The open space outside the store was filled with flower baskets sent by Huo Zheng and his group; even Lu Kai had someone send over a flower basket.

Huo Zheng arrived the earliest.

He was the one who facilitated the purchase of this store. Seeing the original unfinished space transformed into a high-end women's clothing store, Huo Zheng was filled with indescribable excitement.

He felt from the beginning that Bai Zhenzhu was a very different woman.

The same is true.

Watching her busy figure, you can feel that she is full of vitality.

It made those around her feel the power without them even realizing it.
