After transmigrating into the body of a widow, I became the richest man in the capital.

Chapter 177 The Grand Opening Ceremony

Actually, this is Mr. Li's own home. He gave up such a good place so that he could open a specialty store for Su Xiaoxiao.

He originally planned to open a branch of Ci'an Hall, but he gave it to Su Xiaoxiao because Mr. Li felt that Su Xiaoxiao's experience was very similar to his own.

These were all ordinary people who struggled for their own destiny, and their indomitable spirit was something Mr. Li greatly admired.

It seems he still cares about Su Xiaoxiao quite a bit, and Su Xiaoxiao feels the same way, grateful for Mr. Li's help and keeping it in her heart.

Actually, the way this wooden mirror was made is quite unexpected. It was because Mr. Li helped promote it these past few days that Su Xiaoxiao hired some shop assistants and people to do odd jobs in the shop.

Actually, this is the first time someone has recruited primarily female employees from the general public. This is because Su Xiaoxiao is quite unique; she recruits mostly unmarried young women.

However, the salary offered was quite generous, indicating that this was a new attempt.

No other shops had done it before, but they felt that Su Xiaoxiao was taking a risk.

Sure enough, once the notice was posted, an unexpected number of unmarried young women at home came to sign up.

Although it seemed a bit unbelievable, Pei Yuan still asked Su Xiaoxiao in surprise.

"How did you do it?"

"You don't know this, right?"

"In fact, many women who stay at home have the intention to go out and work, because it is a new experience and may bring them different gains in life."

This is actually a kind of risk. If you can help some girls whose fates haven't changed yet, it's a good thing.

Pei Yuan and Liu Qiaomei couldn't help but admire Su Xiaoxiao's foresight. She was able to think of these women, and she was truly a living bodhisattva.

Su Xiaoxiao actually admired the courage of these young women who applied for the job; it was a challenge to their own destiny.

Of course, Su Xiaoxiao also needed to select some people with suitable temperament and appearance to be shop assistants, so there were about fifteen or sixteen people.

In the days that followed, Su Xiaoxiao conducted a very simple training and test for these women, mainly teaching them etiquette and sales skills.

These people will serve as service staff at Su Xiaoxiao's main store in the town, and they are veteran service staff. In the future, Su Xiaoxiao will definitely open branches in other places such as the capital, so that she can easily expand her store continuously.

In Beijing, Su Xiaoxiao decided that she still had no plans to open a specialty store immediately.

She was mainly afraid of failure. On the day before the opening of the first franchise store in town, Su Xiaoxiao was so busy that she didn't sleep all night.

Looking at the neat and tidy interior, with its Western-style decor, Su Xiaoxiao felt a sense of delight. The jams displayed on the table, some in jars and others in gift boxes, all looked very exquisite.

The room was well-lit, but if there had been electric lights, it would have created an even better effect.

Tomorrow is the opening day, and all of this signifies a new beginning. Su Xiaoxiao gave the store's employees a final lesson, and the girls were full of energy and confidence in the sales of the jam and their own future.

On the opening day, many people came to congratulate them. Mr. Li from Ci'an Hall, Qian Musheng also came, the old man who made the mirror for them also came, and many other people were also there. In fact, the people here valued this relationship quite a bit, mainly because they wanted to promote and develop this jam specialty store.

The gifts from Ci'an Hall were all very impressive, with places like Baxianlou, Juxiantang, and even Sunji Grocery Store sending their gifts.

Su Xiaoxiao's shop had a great influence in the town, and everyone gave it a lot of face. At this moment, with the sound of firecrackers, Su Xiaoxiao saw that the outside was crowded with people, all craning their necks to look into Su Xiaoxiao's shop.

This put a lot of pressure on Su Xiaoxiao and the shop assistants, who all asked each other, "Are you nervous?" "I'm a little nervous!"

Actually, Su Xiaoxiao had never imagined that such a grand opening ceremony would be so spectacular, mainly because there were so many people!

Qian Musheng calmly stepped down from his elegant carriage and walked into the shop with deep affection—no, with small, graceful steps.

Su Xiaoxiao noticed that all the young female shop assistants in her store were staring at Qian Musheng. It was a complete unanimous look, because Qian Musheng was just too handsome and had such a great presence. Even if you told yourself not to look, your eyes would inevitably betray you and you couldn't help but look.

What are eyes for? Are they meant to look at a pile of shit if not handsome men?
People yearn for beautiful things, right?

No one wants to look at a pile of shit, Su Xiaoxiao thought to herself, wondering why Qian Musheng was attracting attention here.

Every time my shop opens, this guy comes over to steal the spotlight. It's so frustrating!

But Qian Musheng, the second young master of the Qian family, came to show his support. Isn't that more powerful than any advertising or promotion from Su Xiaoxiao's jam shop?
Qian Musheng placed the gift on the small stool next to him in the most conspicuous position in the specialty store, saying, "Congratulations to Boss Su on the opening of another new store."

Su Xiaoxiao quickly greeted him with a smile, "Thank you for coming, Mr. Qian."

Qian Musheng walked around the specialty store, took a look around, and was full of praise for Su Xiaoxiao's very novel decoration style.

He found a stool and sat down casually, acting like the host, which left Su Xiaoxiao speechless.

The young female shop assistants were practically staring wide-eyed at Qian Musheng.

"Your idea is great, and the mirror looks nice too."

Qian Musheng finally turned his attention to the mirror that Su Xiaoxiao had specially commissioned an old craftsman to make.

"You have a good vision."

"Since you love to show off so much, how about I ask that old craftsman to make one for you too?"

Qian Musheng quickly averted her gaze from admiring the mirror. "Who said that?"

While the two were arguing, another sedan chair arrived.

This time, it was government troops who arrived. The surrounding onlookers quickly moved to both sides. Who were these people? Such great official power!

The person who stepped down from the sedan chair was also a handsome young man. Although he was dressed casually, his seemingly casual clothes were incredibly expensive.

"Prince Gong has come too?"

Prince Gong's special trip to Xianglan Ancient Town to celebrate Su Xiaoxiao's new store opening seems a bit exaggerated, doesn't it?

Su Xiaoxiao and Qian Musheng quickly went out of the shop to greet Prince Gong.
