Chapter 555 - Supermarket Opening 1
Chapter 555: Supermarket Opening 1
“Eh. There are so many people with flower baskets!”
Before the door opened, the crowd saw people coming over from the parking lot with flower baskets in their hands.
Wan Congsong from Jun Hao Hotel came personally to congratulate Boss Xiao. He had direct cooperation with Boss Xiao. Now that Boss Xiao had opened a supermarket in City Z, of course, he had to come to congratulate her.
Boss Zeng from Zeng Family’s Vegetable Shop was there with a flower basket too. Gu Ziye and his group also came from Xing Yin County to help celebrate.
The other bosses who wanted to collaborate with Xiao Lingyu and Zeng Yaozu also came with flower baskets. Instantly, the door was filled with flower baskets.
The elders naturally didn’t recognize these bosses. But they found this very novel.
Boss Pang and Boss Wen saw many flower baskets, but they were not that worried.
However, they soon noticed the latest black model Maybach moving into the parking lot. The minimum price for this Maybach was 25 million, and the license plate number was from City Z.
In the entire City Z, those who could afford to buy this Maybach could be counted on one hand. What was this expensive vehicle doing here? Was the owner going to compete for the vegetables too?
Both Boss Pang and Boss Wen felt a deep sense of crisis.
Boss Wen saw the car and asked curiously, “Boss Pang, do you recognize this car?” He meant do you know the owner of this car?
Boss Pang shook his head.
Boss Pang’s hotel was only four-star. He had many rich guests, but for a person who could drive the latest model Maybach, they would frequent five-star hotels. As a hotel manager, he knew a lot of big bosses, but there were still the truly rich and powerful that he didn’t know.
Boss Wen narrowed his eyes and said with doubt, “Who could this be? Is he here to congratulate the shop’s opening or…” Is he here to fight for the vegetables?
Boss Wen felt uncertain. He wondered how many vegetables would be available. On the day of the opening, more than half of the hotel and restaurant owners in City Z were there. The cake was only so big.
Boss Wen was a little envious. Other people needed to beg the customers to buy, but this boss had the customers begging her. But there was nothing they could do. If they didn’t beg for the vegetables, they would lose business.
With so many big bosses there, it would be a bloody fight.
The Maybach stopped, and then the driver opened the back door.
When the owner of the car got out, whether it was Boss Pang, Boss Wen, or the other big bosses, they were clearly shocked.
Most of the general managers and bosses didn’t know the most powerful man in City Z personally, but this man was always on the news and in magazines, so they recognized him.
“Isn’t that Chairman Yan?” Boss Wen’s mouth was wide open. “What is Chairman Yan doing here?”
Boss Pang was shocked, and his brows were tightly knitted together.
The Yan group owned the largest supermarket in City Z, and the daily traffic was overflowing.
Could it be that Chairman Yan was also here to discuss cooperation?
If Yan Siming came personally to discuss business, how could these small bosses compete?
The black cars behind the Maybach stopped one after another. Then, the people came out, carrying a ton of flower baskets.
Boss Pang’s pupils shrank when he saw the congratulatory message on the flower baskets.
“Congratulations from your friend, Yan Siming!”
Everyone in the upper-class circle of City Z knew that if Yan Siming, the chairman of the Yan Group, presented you with a gift in person, it meant that he really treated you as a true friend. There were very few in City Z whom Yan Siming would call a friend.
This meant that Yan Siming was a real friend of the boss of this supermarket.
Instantly, these bosses changed their impressions and attitude toward the supermarket boss. If she was Yan Siming’s friend, they really couldn’t afford to offend her.
Yan Siming was dressed neatly. He wore a white shirt with a wine-red suit and a black windbreaker.
After he got out of the car, he took a look at the supermarket.
It was a three-story building with yellow and white stripes on the exterior wall. The sign at the main entrance was huge, and it read, Taoyuan Village’s Green Fresh Fruits and Vegetables Supermarket.
In front of the supermarket was an empty parking lot.
He had also heard that Xiao Lingyu had chosen this location because there was ample parking.
It made sense. Most people could not afford the things that she sold. Those who could were definitely wealthy families. These wealthy families would have nannies who drove expensive cars. For example, the Yan Family’s nanny drove a Bentley to go grocery shopping.
The corners of Yan Siming’s mouth rose slightly, revealing a devilish smile. He said faintly, “Xiao Lingyu, you must be very surprised to see me here!”
Yan Siming’s looks were too outstanding. The moment he got off the car, he attracted the attention of many aunties and uncles.
“Eh, this young man is really beautiful!” An Auntie said excitedly.
An old man beside him said, “He’s a grown man. You should call him handsome. I don’t think he’ll be happy if he hears you call him beautiful.”
The Auntie retorted, “But he is beautiful. Look at his tender skin. He’s much more beautiful than a girl.”
The old man rolled his eyes and said coldly, “No matter what, he won’t be interested in you. Look at how wrinkled your face is!”
“What did you say?” The auntie asked through gritted teeth.
The old man immediately quivered and quickly jumped away. He shook his head and said, “Nothing, nothing. I didn’t say anything.”
..
As soon as the door was opened, there was a commotion outside.
“Look, the door is open! The door is open!” Someone could not help but shout.
Someone wanted to rush in and take a look but was stopped by the security guards and staff standing at the door.
Before the doors opened, Xiao Lingyu moved to a hidden corner. She gave the spotlight to Zeng Yaozu.
Zeng Yaozu appeared in front of everyone in a suit and tie.
As soon as Zeng Yaozu appeared, he earned the affection of the elders. Who would like beautiful women and handsome men?
Zeng Yaozu’s blond hair was gone, and he was tall and handsome. The elders smiled at him.
“This young man is really handsome.”
“Yes, he is quite handsome.”
…
Zeng Yaozu said with a smile, “Hello, everyone. I am the general manager of Taoyuan Village’s Green Fresh Fruits and Vegetables Supermarket. Everyone, thank you for coming. With the support of our customers and friends, Taoyuan Village’s Green Fresh Fruits and Vegetables Supermarket officially opens today.
“For the first three days, all the items will be discounted by 50% to 20% . Three days later, everything will be restored to its original price.”
“Young man, aren’t your things too expensive?” Someone immediately shouted, “Can’t they be cheaper?”
Zeng Yaozu smiled and said, “Dear customers, once you’ve tried our vegetables, you’ll realize that the price is high for a reason.” Then, he said half-jokingly and half-seriously, “You should buy as many as you can on these first three days, or the stock might run out.”
Someone said, “Young man, we are only here because of your opening day discounts. We probably won’t come back after that.”
Zeng Yaozu smiled. “That’s fine too. You can always come in to have a look. Purchase is not necessary.
“Alright, if you have any questions, please ask our available staff. Now, I announce that Taoyuan Village’s Green Fresh Fruits and Vegetables Supermarket is officially open for Business!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the deafening sound of firecrackers rang out.
The flower baskets were pushed to Zeng Yaozu.
“Congratulations! Congratulations!”
“Thank you. Please come in!”
“Everyone, please come in!”
“Welcome!” The two rows of supermarket employees who stood at the door half-bent and said in unison.
Then, all the employees returned to their respective stations!
The Aunties and uncles, who had been waiting at the door, rushed in like a swarm of bees.
