The opening of the Beijing headquarters of "Da Nan Supermarket" was like a bombshell, which quickly caused a stir in Beijing's retail market.

Suning's business model, with high salaries to motivate employees, ultimate service experience, and value-for-money products, quickly won the favor of consumers.

The supermarket was crowded with customers, who praised the service and products, and social media was flooded with positive reviews of the "Big Man Supermarket".

Suning was not satisfied with this. He knew that the competition in the retail industry was fierce and he had to keep innovating to stay ahead.

So, he began to promote the supermarket's own product line, from food to daily necessities, and gradually established the brand effect of "Big Man Supermarket".

In order to ensure product quality, Suning even built its own food factory and central kitchen.

Strictly control every link to ensure that every customer can enjoy safe and reliable food.

The self-operated products of "Da Nan Supermarket" quickly became one of the highlights of the supermarket.

Customers raved about the high-quality, reasonably priced products, and the supermarket's sales soared.

Suning also rewards its employees with part of its profits, further stimulating their work enthusiasm and to some extent realizing the ideal of common prosperity.

You should know that employees not only have high salaries, but also enjoy generous bonuses and benefits, which makes "Da Nan Supermarket" the "best employer" in Beijing's retail industry.

With the success of its Beijing headquarters, the ambitious Suning began to open branches.

In addition to wanting to quickly select locations to open branches in several areas of Beijing, he also selected several first-tier cities as the first expansion targets, hoping to quickly roll out the "Big Man Supermarket" brand across the country.

The opening of each new store has aroused enthusiastic responses from local consumers, and Suning’s business model has once again demonstrated its strong competitiveness.

A year later, in 2013, Suning had become a rising star in the business world.

His name frequently appears in the headlines of major financial media and he is hailed as the "rising star of the retail industry."

However, Suning did not stop there.

He knows very well that only by continuous innovation can he remain invincible in the fierce market competition.

Once, Suning went to Hangzhou in person to contact tea suppliers.

In order to express its importance to this cooperation, the supplier specially invited him to watch a local Yue Opera performance.

Suning was not originally interested in this kind of Yue Opera, but out of politeness, he accepted the other party's invitation.

However, when the curtain on the stage opened.

When a young Yue Opera actress came on stage, Suning's attention was instantly attracted.

After some inquiries, I learned that her name was Chen Lijun. She was only 21 years old, but had already shown extraordinary artistic talent.

Her voice is clear and melodious, her figure is elegant and charming, and every look and every movement is full of dramatic tension.

Suning sat in the audience, feeling a long-lost excitement in his heart.

He never thought that he would meet such a charming woman in such an occasion.

After the performance, Suning couldn't wait to find Chen Lijun, express his appreciation to her, and asked the two to exchange contact information.

Chen Lijun was a little surprised by Su Ning's enthusiasm, but she did not reject his approach, mainly because she had just graduated from school and did not know how to refuse.

Naturally, this gave Suning an opportunity to take advantage of the loophole.

After that, the two began to meet frequently. Suning took her to taste the delicious food in Hangzhou and accompanied her to visit the beautiful scenery of West Lake. He would ask Chen Lijun out whenever he had the chance.

For the sake of convenience, Suning even deliberately changed the expansion plan of "Da Nan Supermarket" and gave priority to opening branches in the West Lake area of Hangzhou.

"Lijun, how is it? My supermarket is pretty good, right?"

"Great! It feels more thoughtful than those big foreign brands."

"In fact, the main selling point of 'Da Nan Supermarket' is service and quality. A considerable number of products are self-produced. To this end, they have built their own food factory and central kitchen. Especially the dishes in the prepared food area, they can absolutely guarantee absolute safety and hygiene, and do not use any additives or other high-tech or harsh practices."

"Suning, I heard that the benefits at your 'Big Man Supermarket' are very good?"

"That's right! To ensure employee enthusiasm and, most importantly, service quality and attitude, our supermarket rewards all employees with a portion of their profits. Their minimum salary is 6,000 to 7,000 yuan."

"so tall?"

"So our 'Big Man Supermarket' is a success."

"Then why did you name the supermarket "Big Man Supermarket"?

"Haha! This is about my relationship problem. I'm already 36 years old, and I've never been able to get married successfully.

When I just graduated from college, I was dating someone, but he disliked the fact that I didn't have a house, so he left with someone who had a house.

Then I worked hard and bought a house in Dongcheng District, Beijing. I worked very hard to pay off the mortgage and ignored my emotional problems.

Some time ago, I suddenly became lucky in love. All kinds of girls kept appearing. They were all very good girls, but they all had various problems. Either there was a problem on my side or there was a problem on their side, so in the end I ended up being single.

Later, facing the frustrations of work, I decided to start my own business, hoping to make my fantasy of being a good boss a reality. I never expected my business plan to be recognized by a foreign investment bank, nor did I expect this "good boss" model to become so popular.

"Suning, you are really amazing! This is also considered as breaking down before building up."

"I had no other choice! I was really forced into a corner. When I first lost my job, I tried to find a job, but I was worried and felt sorry for those recent college graduates."

"Big Man Supermarket? A supermarket run by an older man?"

"That's right! That's what the supermarket's name means."

Chen Lijun's innocence and talent deeply touched Suning, while Suning's maturity and humor also made Chen Lijun feel at ease.

However, Suning's emotional experience made him extremely cautious about this relationship, because he had a completely different mentality towards Chen Lijun.

So he didn't want to repeat the same mistake, nor did he want Chen Lijun to become another passer-by in his emotional journey.

Then Suning began to reflect on his past behavior and tried to find a more mature way to deal with this relationship.

……

At the same time, the expansion plan of "Da Nan Supermarket" is also progressing steadily.

Suning's business empire gradually took shape, and his name became a legend in the business world.

However, in his heart, the appearance of Chen Lijun made him start to think whether he could really let go of his obsession with his career and try a new relationship.

"Suning, that's great! You've become a business tycoon all of a sudden?"

"You should be the most clear about my situation. This can be considered as being forced."

"It's clear, but I never thought you'd changed so much!"

"Okay!"

"Look at you! You used to be a greasy, overweight older man, a typical poor loser, but now you're a real hunk. If we hadn't grown up together, I definitely wouldn't recognize you now."

"That's an exaggeration! How are you and Linghu Xiaojia doing lately?"

"It's still the same! Our differences are too great to be together."

"real or fake?"

"The last time I came back from a trip to Tibet, I wore my contact lenses the wrong way around. I thought I had some terminal illness, but Linghu Xiaojia was so scared that he ran away."

"No way? Is it really that serious?"

"Who says it isn't? But I met a young nurse during this hospitalization. Although she's a mess in appearance, her voice is very sweet and attractive. Especially since she took care of me meticulously, so I decided to choose her for my life."

"Huh? What's this nurse's name?"

"Huang Xinran."

"Okay! I hope you won't let the girl down."

……

Suning's pursuit of Chen Lijun did not go as smoothly as he had imagined. Although Chen Lijun was quite fond of Suning's maturity and humor, the age difference between them was always a hurdle in her heart.

At the age of 21, she is in the prime of her youth and is full of hope for the future.

The 36-year-old Suning has been working in the workplace for many years, and his life experience and emotional experience are far beyond her reach.

In a conversation with Suning, Chen Lijun frankly expressed her concerns, "Suning, you are very good! Really very good.

But the gap between us is too big. I am afraid that I can’t keep up with your pace, nor understand your world. "

After hearing this, Suning felt a pang of sadness in his heart, but he did not give up.

He responded seriously, "Lijun, age is just a number. What matters is whether we are willing to devote ourselves to each other and whether we are willing to face the challenges of the future together.

I am willing to wait for you and change for you.

I only ask you to give me one chance, a chance to stay with you."

“…” Although Chen Lijun was moved by Suning’s sincerity, she was still hesitant.

She needed time to think and sort out her thoughts.

At the same time, Suning's love life has become more complicated.

He decided to completely let go of the past and focus on his relationship with Chen Lijun, but Lin Yuqing, Zhao Kai and Xu Ruoyun were not willing to let go easily.

Lin Yuqing was the first person to notice the changes in Suning.

She found that Suning no longer appeared in her life as frequently as before, and even his attitude towards her had become much colder.

Once, she took the initiative to find Suning and asked him, "Suning, do you have someone else?"

Suning did not hide anything and frankly admitted, "Yes, I met someone who made my heart beat.

Yuqing, our relationship is over, I hope you can find the happiness that truly belongs to you."

After hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed across Lin Yuqing's eyes, but she did not give up.

She said softly, “Suning, I know we have many beautiful memories together, and I don’t want it to end like this.

I am willing to wait for you, until you come back."

"Yuqing, what I need is marriage, but unfortunately you can't give it to me." Suning sighed helplessly.

He knew Lin Yuqing's persistence, but he had made up his mind not to look back.

Zhao Kai's reaction was more direct.

During a phone call with Suning, she bluntly said, "Suning, don't think I don't know that you are pursuing that Yue Opera actress.

I tell you, I won't let go easily.

You are the most wonderful man I have ever met, and I will not let anyone else take you away from me."

Su Ning smiled bitterly, "Zhao Kai, it's over between us a long time ago.

You should look for your own happiness instead of clinging to the past.

Besides, don’t you have that intern pursuit in mind?”

Zhao Kai sneered: "Happiness? My happiness is you.

Suning, don't try to get rid of me.

As for that intern, he only pursued me because I was the department head and wanted to be a regular employee in the hospital."

"This……"

"Suning, don't ever think about getting rid of me in this life. Apart from work, you are everything to me."

"But what I need is marriage, which you can't give me. I don't want to be eating with you at home and then be called away by a phone call from the hospital."

"..."

Xu Ruoyun's attitude seemed more elegant and firm.

At a charity dinner, she specifically found Suning and said with a smile, "Suning, I heard that you are pursuing a young Yue Opera actor recently.

However, I would like to remind you that feelings are not a momentary impulse, but require time and sedimentation.

I hope you will consider this carefully.”

"..." Su Ning looked at Xu Ruoyun, feeling a little complicated.

He knew that Xu Ruoyun had always had expectations of him, but he was no longer able to respond to her feelings.

The two of them are now limited to occasional lonely games between adult men and women. Now Suning doesn't even want to keep playing this kind of game, so it is destined that there will be no result between the two of them.

He said softly, "Ruoyun, thank you for your concern all the time.

But I have made my choice, and I hope you understand."

Xu Ruoyun smiled slightly, with a hint of sadness in her eyes.

But she still maintained an elegant demeanor: "Suning, I respect your choice.

But I believe that time will tell.

I'm waiting for you."

Faced with the persistence of these women, Suning felt unprecedented pressure.

He didn't want to hurt anyone, but he couldn't go against his own heart.

Since emotional matters are too complicated, I decided to put aside the emotional entanglements for the time being and focus on the expansion plan of "Big Man Supermarket".

However, the emotional disputes did not subside.

Lin Yuqing, Zhao Kai and Xu Ruoyun still appear in his life from time to time, trying to win back his heart.

Chen Lijun's attitude has always been wavering, which makes Suning feel extremely tormented.

Once, Suning was walking with Chen Lijun on the tea hills in Hangzhou.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the two of them, and Chen Lijun said softly, "Su Ning, I know your feelings for me are sincere.

But I need time and space to think about our future.”

Su Ning held her hand and said gently, "Lijun, I am willing to wait for you and give you enough time and space.

I just hope you understand that my feelings for you are serious."

"Yeah." Chen Lijun nodded, a touch of emotion flashed in her eyes, but she still did not give a clear answer.

But Suning has plenty of patience with Chen Lijun and believes that where there is strength, there is always strength.

At the same time, Suning's business empire is expanding steadily.

Branches of "Da Nan Supermarket" have sprung up across the country, with more and more food factories and central kitchens, and Suning's name has become a legend in the business world.

However, the emotional entanglements in his life could never be resolved.

He understood that he had to make a choice, whether it was his career or his relationship, he needed to give it his all.

This time, he decided not to run away anymore and to face his inner self bravely.
