A construction site on the outskirts of the city, a container supermarket owned by Xu Guangnian and his wife.
As managers of the Guangshun retail chain, the couple are now responsible for the entire eastern suburban area, managing and coordinating the distribution and accounting of hundreds of retail stores.
Originally, according to Zhang Dachuan's intention, he was going to directly hire two people to work at the headquarters, and the salary offered was very considerable.
But Xu Guangnian and Ji Xiaojuan were reluctant to part with the small supermarket they had worked so hard to run, and they were unwilling to give up the profits that the supermarket had increased every month. In the end, Zhang Dachuan had no choice but to agree to the two of them and put their office space in their supermarket. The treatment is exactly the same - since most of the work is done online these days, as long as you have a computer and a phone, there is not much difference.
As a result, Xu Guangnian and his wife have two sources of income: profit sharing from their own supermarket, and high wages and bonuses from the Guangshun retail chain.
The income of the two of them has increased significantly compared to before they met Zhang Dachuan. Although it is not said that one month is equal to that of a year, it is not much different.
The family's living standard has been greatly improved.
At ten o'clock in the evening, after finishing the day's work, Xu Guangnian and Ji Xiaojuan began to pack up the shop, close the shop, and at the same time organize the documents on the table to prepare for tomorrow's business.
Xu Guangnian's leg is now completely healed, even better than before the injury. He moved the goods outside into the container with strong steps, always with a smile on his face.
Having regained hope in life, he now feels that every day is a good day.
Ji Xiaojuan saw her husband busy and sweating profusely, and couldn't help but feel distressed and said:
"You take a break, sit down and rest for a while. It's already this time anyway, and it won't take less than an hour and a half. I really can't finish it. I can just do it again tomorrow."
Xu Guangnian laughed and said nonchalantly:
"It's okay, I'm not tired, just a few more trips and it'll be over."
"Today's work is done today, and there is still tomorrow's work."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but sigh:
"You don't know, ever since my legs healed, my whole body would feel weak if I didn't run thousands of steps every day. I have to make up for all the distance I've missed over the years!"
When Ji Xiaojuan heard this, she rolled her eyes at her husband:
"De Xing, if you want to compensate, shouldn't it be to compensate Boss Zhang? Without him, you wouldn't be as lively as you are now."
Xu Guangnian nodded quickly:
"Yes, yes, if you want compensation, just compensate Boss Zhang. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be able to become a normal person at all."
"That's why I have to finish today's things to avoid piling up tomorrow."
When Ji Xiaojuan saw this, she stopped saying anything and lowered her head seriously.
Nowadays, the business of the Guangshun retail supermarket chain is very booming, and the daily revenue is a very huge figure. A slight miscalculation of a zero may result in a difference of six or seven digits, so Ji Xiaojuan has to reconcile the accounts several times every day.
Xu Guangnian continued to move goods in and out, while talking to his wife intermittently:
"The two of us now earn nearly 30,000 yuan a month, plus the income from the supermarket, it comes to just over 50,000 yuan a month."
"As long as we can maintain stability for a year or two, we will be completely turned around."
"When the time comes, we will go to Dongjiang City to find a good community, buy a big house, and then let our daughter go to a better school and completely settle down in Dongjiang."
Ji Xiaojuan heard this and responded with a smile:
"That's right. Let's work hard. When the time comes, we can buy a car and a house, and live a rich life. This life will be considered worthwhile."
She looked forward to the future and was extremely happy.
At this moment, Ji Xiaojuan suddenly heard the conversation between her husband and others outside:
"Sorry, we are about to close... Bao, Brother Bao, why are you here?"
Ji Xiaojuan frowned, stood up quickly, walked to the door, stuck her head out and looked out quietly.
Under the energy-saving lamps outside the container, seven or eight people slowly surrounded Xu Guangnian in a fan shape.
The leader was shirtless, had short yellow hair, wore large pants and flip-flops, and had a bloodthirsty cheetah tattooed on his chest. He looked very fierce.
Seeing this person, Ji Xiaojuan's dark face instantly turned pale and she subconsciously covered her mouth.
She recognized this person as Chen Baozi from the Golden Dragon Club.
As a no-care zone, the world in the suburbs of Dongjiang City is actually very chaotic.
In this place where the General Chamber of Commerce can't reach, some forces are growing wildly and unbridled, and many small gangs and groups have spawned.
Among these small groups, the Golden Dragon Society is the largest in the eastern suburbs.
There are no places to make money in the suburbs, so the Golden Dragon Society’s biggest source of income is protection fees, because it is the largest force here. After paying the protection fees, it can really ensure that people from other groups will not come to make trouble, so although everyone is angry, But there is nothing we can do.
Chen Baozi is the small leader who is responsible for this aspect of business.
In the past, this group of people often came to Xu Guangnian and his wife to collect money, but because the couple's shop was not very prosperous, they could only take out 5,000 yuan each time, so people like Chen Baozi were not active in coming, and every time Only one or two people come every time.
But today, looking at the opponent's formation with so many people, Ji Xiaojuan had an intuitive feeling that something was not good.
At this time, Chen Baozi and his men approached Xu Guangnian. The latter greeted Chen Baozi politely while subconsciously retreating slowly.
Finally, he retreated to the door of his store and could no longer retreat.
Opening his hands, Xu Guangnian protected his store, forcing a smile that was uglier than crying:
"Brother Leopard, Brother Leopard, is something wrong?"
Hearing this, Chen Baozi snorted, stepped forward and patted Xu Guangnian's cheek and said:
"Xu Canfai, it's okay. I heard that you've had bad luck recently. You've fallen in love with a rich man, and now you're in charge of the Guangshun retail chain. Is that true?"
Xu Guangnian felt a thump in his heart, but his face was still so flattering:
"Brother Bao is joking. We just work for people. It's not as exaggerated as you said."
Chen Baozi squinted and smiled:
"Really? Just a part-time job? How much is your monthly salary?"
As he spoke, he lit a cigarette for himself, took a puff, and then blew smoke rings into Xu Guangnian's face.
Xu Guangnian said:
"A little over three thousand."
As soon as he said this, he heard Chen Baozi burst into laughter across from him.
Chen Baozi tilted his head, gently shaved his eyebrows with the hand holding the cigarette, then spit heavily, and said with a half-smile:
"Xu Canfai, Xu Canfai, where are you coaxing a three-year-old child?"
"If I didn't investigate clearly, do you think I would bring so many people to visit you at night?"
"You are the person in charge of the Guangshun retail chain. Why are you pretending to me?"
