Chapter 754: Preparing to Open a Shop in the Capital

Since the threat had been removed, Xiao Lingyu and Gong Tianhao stopped caring about Leng Piaoxue.

After Xiao Lingyu and Gong Tianhao returned to the capital, they had been inseparable all day long. They were exceptionally in love. It was simply shocking to all the people in the capital.

Whether it was men or women, they were all envious of the couple.

Men were envious that Gong Tianhao could marry a woman who was as beautiful as a fairy.

As for women, they were jealous and resentful that Xiao Lingyu could marry Gong Tianhao. How could a country woman be worthy of Gong Tianhao? Then again, no woman was truly worthy of Gong Tianhao, much less this country woman!

However, no matter how envious and jealous these people were, Xiao Lingyu and Gong Tianhao did not care. As long as the people didn’t provoke them, they would just pretend the others didn’t exist.

One day, Li Yuanhang told Xiao Lingyu that he had found the location of the shop in the capital. Then, Li Yuanhang brought Xiao Lingyu to look at the location while Gong Tianhao returned to work. Recently, he had been spending too much time with his family. However, the two of them each had their own thing to do.

Li Yuanhang brought Xiao Lingyu to a place and said with a smile, “Madam, this is the place.” After getting out of the car, Li Yuanhang pointed at a big shop in front of them, “We’re at the center of the capital. This place is close to the residence of the rich and powerful. There’s also an underground parking lot. It’s very suitable to open your supermarket! Come, let’s go in and take a look!”

Xiao Lingyu followed Li Yuanhang into the shop.

The shop was now empty. Apart from the four walls, there were also a few load-bearing pillars. If they wanted to open a shop, they would have to redesign and renovate it.

Xiao Lingyu asked with a smile, “This place should be the prime location of the business center, so why hasn’t it been rented out yet? Plus, the rent should be quite expensive, right?”

Li Yuanhang said, “To be honest, the entire street from the West Alley to the East Alley belongs to the Imperial Palace Group. Boss said that this shop will be given to Madam for free.”

“The whole street belongs to Imperial Place?! How many shops are there?” Xiao Lingyu said with a smile, “Plus, such a free shop is given away for free just like that? I’m jealous.”

“…” Li Yuanhang said speechlessly, “Madam, are you trying to anger people? If you’re jealous, you can only be jealous of your husband. Besides, your husband’s things are your things.”

Xiao Lingyu chuckled. “You’re right. I don’t need to be jealous of anyone.”

Li Yuanhang laughed and said, “Alright, stop showing off. If not, I’m going to be jealous. Let’s go inside to take a look!” Then, Li Yuanhang continued, “The first floor of this shop is more than 1,000 square meters. The first, second, third, and fourth floors are your business area. The fourth floor can be the office. From the fifth floor and above, it can be rented to other enterprises.”

Xiao Lingyu thought for a moment and said, “3,000 to 4,000 square meters is a bit big.” Her other supermarkets were mostly 1,500 to 2,000 square meters. This was double those sizes. “This will be a waste of resources. I only need two floors.” Xiao Lingyu said.

Li Yuanhang shook his head and said, “No, Madam. This is the capital. You’re going the high-end route, so you must have good decoration. It has to impress the customers. The shop looks big now. After the decoration, the area will probably shrink a lot. Also, we have to come up with new packaging. It has to be of high quality!”

Unexpectedly, Xiao Lingyu shook her head and said, “No, we’re not changing any decoration or packing. Nothing will change simply because we’re in the capital.

“What I’m selling is the taste of my products and not the packaging. Complicated packaging might even affect the quality of the product. I’m not going to rely on flashy packaging.

“My principle is that the freshness and quality of the products will speak for themselves. If the customers want to buy them, good; if not, I’m not going to force them.”

Li Yuanhang was silent for a moment. He did not know what to say.

He had followed Gong Tianhao through the business world for so many years. Most companies would come up with all kinds of flashy promotions to attract customers. Of course, there were some exceptions. For example, Gong Tianhao was one of them. He only wanted to make sure that the things he sold were of good quality. He didn’t need to smoke and mirror to confuse the consumers.

Li Yuanhang couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise. ‘They are indeed husband and wife. Even their business senses are similar.’

Li Yuanhang said with a smile, “Boss Xiao, you and boss are indeed husband and wife. Even your thinking is so similar!”

Xiao Lingyu also said with a smile, “Is that so? Well, Tianhao and I are husband and wife, after all.”

“Of course,” Li Yuanhang was speechless. He said helplessly, “You two really need to stop spreading dogfood in front of me.”

Xiao Lingyu said, “Then why don’t you hurry up and find one? You can start spreading dogfood too. Speaking of which, there are a few very beautiful girls in our company. They are also highly educated. Do you want me to introduce them to you?”

“…” Li Yuanhang immediately waved his hand and refused, “No, please. If I really want to find a girlfriend, Imperial Palace is full of beautiful and highly educated girls too. I don’t need to look for them in your company!”

Xiao Lingyu raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, “These things are hard to say. Maybe your romance is at my company? Perhaps, I should go around and find if there’s anyone who might be suitable for you.”

Li Yuanhang was the same age as Gong Tianhao, 32 years old. Gong Tianhao was already married and had a child. But Li Yuanhang was still single.

“Thank you, but it’s fine.” Li Yuanhang still refused. “I feel that it’s more carefree and relaxed living my life as a single man.”

Xiao Lingyu rolled her eyes and asked with a smile, “To be honest, assistant Li, let me ask you this. At your age, haven’t your parents urged you to get married?”

Li Yuanhang said somewhat helplessly, “How can they not? These days, my mom keeps bringing young women home to surprise me with blind dates. It’s making me afraid to go home.”

“Haha…” Xiao Lingyu laughed, “It’s really hard to imagine that. It seems that you should hurry up and find a girlfriend to settle down with so that your parents wouldn’t need to worry about you anymore.”

Li Yuanhang suddenly said very seriously, “If I want to find a girlfriend, I definitely have to find someone I like, and not because I need to please my parents. After all, that’s the person I’m going to live with for the rest of my life.”

Xiao Lingyu nodded in agreement, “Yes, you’re right. So when fate comes, you shouldn’t run away from it. Otherwise, you’ll miss out on a lifetime of happiness.”

Li Yuanhang nodded, “Of course. Alright, stop talking about my relationships. We still need to go upstairs and take a look. Do you have any other ideas for the shop? We can relay them to the renovation people.”

Xiao Lingyu shook her head and said, “Let’s go upstairs and take a look first.”

In fact, the structure of the upstairs floors was the same as the downstairs.

When they reached the fourth floor, Li Yuanhang asked, “The fourth floor will be your office. What style do you want, or what kind of needs do you have? I can find a good designer.”

Xiao Lingyu said, “The renovation design of the supermarket will follow the model of other chain stores. After all, this is also one of the chain stores. However, in terms of local culture, I’ll have to rely on you, Assistant Li. After all, you’ll know that better than me. As for the office, just use a normal design.”

Li Yuanhang nodded and said, “Okay, that’s no problem. Leave it to me. In these few days, I’ll find a designer and renovate it. I estimate that it’ll be done in five or six days!”

Xiao Lingyu said in surprise, “Five or six days? Isn’t that too fast?” It was such a big area.

Li Yuanhang said with a smile, “Imperial Palace has a specialized renovation company. The renovation will be done quickly!” Speaking up to this point, Li Yuanhang looked around and then said, “There’s less than a month left before the new year. We’d better finish the shop before the New Year and then open for business.”

Xiao Lingyu nodded and said, “Yes, you’re right! Then, assistant Li, I’ll leave everything to You!”

Li Yuanhang smiled helplessly and said, “You and your husband are really similar. Anyway, I’m also just doing all the talking. The real jobs will be handled by others.”

Xiao Lingyu, “…”

After Xiao Lingyu and Li Yuanhang left, some of the reporters immediately called their bosses as if they had received an important piece of news.

“Chief editor, I’ve received news…”

“Manager Zhang, I’ve received news…”

The next day, the headline of the Beijing News Express was: Taoyuan Village Green Fresh Supermarket is coming to the capital!

After Xiao Lingyu returned to the Gong Family, her identity was exposed. Therefore, people knew that she was actually the boss of Taoyuan Village Green Fresh Group even though she was just a country woman.

Now that Xiao Lingyu had returned to the capital with Gong Tianhao, it was certain that the Taoyuan Village Green Fresh would open a chain store in the capital.

However, for many rich and powerful people, this was good news. In the future, they didn’t need to send people to buy vegetables from another city anymore.

In the past, whenever they were low on stock, the kids at home wouldn’t eat anything. This caused many worries. Now that a chain was opening in the capital, it would make grocery shopping a lot more convenient.

When many socialites learned that Gong Tianhao’s wife, Xiao Lingyu, was a woman who grew vegetables in the countryside, they scoffed at her. Later, when they learned that Xiao Lingyu was the boss of Green Fresh, the socialites’ expression was ugly and angry.

They ate the vegetables and fruits from Green Fresh every day, but the stuff was actually grown by their love rival. This feeling was really infuriating and shameful.

However, these women understood that Green Fresh’s vegetables and fruits could help with sleep and make one’s skin more supple. The food was delicious, and no matter how much they ate, they didn’t have to worry about gaining weight. Naturally, the fresh fruits and vegetables of Green Fresh became a favorite among these socialites. Not only would they not gain weight after eating them, but they would also be able to maintain their beauty. They were even more effective than those high-end cosmetics.

Now, even though they knew that it was the work of their love rivals, they still couldn’t control themselves from eating it.

“Taoyuan Village’s Green Fresh Supermarket has arrived in Beijing and has become the 45th chain store in the country!” Someone was surprised when he saw this news.

“The 45th supermarket? I heard that their stuff sells very well. Why is it only the 45th chain?” Someone asked in confusion.

“I heard that the company boss has the policy that she’d only open a maximum of two supermarkets in one city. Most of them will only have one store. Only big cities like Shanghai will have two chains!”

“But aren’t two chains too little for a big city like Shanghai?”

“I don’t know about that. I only know that their things are basically sold out every morning.”

“But why would they only now open a chain in the capital?”

“You’re really stupid! Do you think one can open a store in the capital that easily? A supermarket with a business as good as Green Fresh would be taken down if they tried to venture into the capital. However, now that it is revealed that the boss is the young madam of the Gong Family, no one will dare to do anything anymore.”
