Reborn in 1990: My Family Store Leads to the Future

At that moment, Lu Yuan was unaware that his shop's booming business had already aroused envy and jealousy among his competitors; he was simply busy serving customers.

Even during all the previous days when I ran the shop, I wasn't this busy.

Initially a bit clumsy and afraid of not doing well, Sui Tingting discovered after getting started that these customers didn't care at all whether she did a good job or not.

I just wish she had done it faster.

After getting used to it for a while, she became much more adept at it and soon ran out of things to do.

"Go get some more chocolate if you run out."

"Boss, we're out of small breads. Could you please get some more?"

"We're almost out of toilet paper too, we need to hurry, or we'll be in trouble if we run out of supplies."

The goods in the round glass display case were dwindling, and several items were already empty. Chen Tingting shouted anxiously.

She showed none of the shyness or worry she had shown before.

Fortunately, before opening the store, Lu Yuan had exchanged all the remaining money he had for goods. Now, the Friendship Store's warehouse is full of goods, filling the entire warehouse.

He hurriedly went inside and brought up a box of small breads. Before he could even open the box, the people in line behind him had already declared that they wanted to buy the entire box.

"Don't worry, we still have stock in the store. Wait for me to put it away before you buy. Everyone, don't worry, I'll make sure you're all satisfied."

As Lu Yuan shouted, he pulled a hand that had accidentally slipped into his chest out.

I don't know which young lady took this opportunity to try and take advantage of him. How could he agree to that? You know, he's an artist, not a prostitute.

However, he underestimated the enthusiasm of these people. If it weren't for the fact that only Sui Tingting was making things, he was afraid that no matter how much stuff he made, it would all be snatched up by these people.

"Boss, you too, why didn't you make the store bigger?"

"One salesperson isn't enough; we all have to queue here."

"Don't worry, we're all here watching. No one will take the things and leave."

A customer behind them said that there were too many people, and even if some people had bad intentions and wanted to take things away, they would not be able to squeeze out and would be discovered.

Lu Yuan wished he could split himself in two; he should have hired one more person when he was recruiting.

Based on his experience, one sales clerk would actually be enough. The Friendship Store wasn't very big, and Sui Tingting could manage it all by herself.

However, he underestimated the appeal of these new things to people in Shanghai.

You have to understand that this is Shanghai, not only the forefront of China, but also the forefront of trends.

With the economic recovery in recent years, people in Shanghai have also made a fortune.

Which household doesn't have some spare money? These days, they just have money to spare but nowhere to spend it. The things at the Friendship Store look good and can improve their taste, which is why they are so anxious.

Sui Tingting wasn't much better off. While anxiously saying that the cash register was full, she grabbed a bread box from the side and continued processing payments.

The surrounding customers stretched out their hands, waiting for her to pay, and her typing speed gradually increased.

In less than half a day, he had become a skilled cashier.

There were only two people in the huge shop. Lu Yuan was busy loading goods and didn't even have a chance to catch his breath. His throat was so sore that he couldn't even drink water.

"son!"

Wang Xiuying had just squeezed to the front when she looked at him with some surprise.

At this moment, she had so much to say, and she wanted to ask what was going on and why there were so many people here.

Upon seeing his mother, Lu Yuan disregarded everything else and immediately pulled her over.

"You've come at the perfect time, come help out at the store together."

"no……"

Wang Xiuying originally came shopping with her friends, but unexpectedly, Lu Yuan dragged her over to do hard labor.

Their family runs a mahjong parlor, and aside from everything else, Wang Xiuying is much, much better at handling cashier duties than Sui Tingting.

Seeing that Lu Yuan didn't have time to deal with him, they had no choice but to pack up together.

Then he was spinning around like a top, too busy to even respond to his old friends' teasing. He could only speak loudly in the local dialect and get them to join in.

With Wang Xiuying's arrival, Lu Yuan's situation improved considerably, and he had time to catch his breath, but he still didn't have a chance to eat.

Business on Xijing Road starts around 10 a.m. and continues until around 1 p.m., then there's a two- or three-hour lull before it gets lively again in the evening.

But today was a little different; the number of customers at the Friendship Store gradually decreased from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The surrounding shops also benefited, making more money than usual.

The warehouse behind Lu Yuan had already been emptied, so he had to start limiting the quantity, allowing each person to buy only a few items, but even that wasn't enough to meet demand.

Lu Yuan could actually redeem the goods directly from the system, but that would make it difficult to explain where the goods came from.

So after the warehouse was sold out, he stopped and didn't continue.

There were some people who wanted to follow, but they left with great regret after seeing that there was no cargo.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't think this through. I didn't expect so many people to come. I promise everything will be here tomorrow."

Lu Yuan sincerely apologized, bowed deeply, and admitted his mistake.

He really hadn't expected so many people to come this time.

It should be noted that apart from the approximately 5,000 yuan he spent on renovating the shop, the remaining money was used to purchase various goods, totaling around 50,000 yuan, which were all sold out in half a day.

Later, when the customers lined up here, there really wasn't much left to sell. They sold out all the dried sweet potatoes, pumpkin seeds, and the like.

His exceptionally polite attitude and way of doing things won the favor of the customers who followed him. They felt that it was rare to find a boss like him, and they all nodded in agreement.

"Boss, you're too kind."

"Whether you expected it or not, I didn't expect it to be this lively."

"It's a pity I didn't buy anything, otherwise I could have shown it off to my wife when I got back."

"I heard that soap is gentle on hands, and I was thinking of buying one, but it looks like I'll have to wait until after get off work tomorrow."

"Just join in the fun, boss, don't feel too guilty."

"That's right."

The remaining customers didn't make a fuss; instead, they happily accepted the situation.

For customers who didn't manage to buy anything, this was actually a novel experience.

P.S.: To be honest, after reading books on Qidian for several years, I only recently learned that readers can give a few free recommendation votes every day, even though I'm also a writer myself. I've never used them before, so I'd like to express my gratitude to the authors I've taken advantage of.

But now I know that from now on, my daily free recommendation votes...

Most of it was definitely spent on himself!

O(n_n)O~

I originally wanted to write a book that I had been conceiving for a long time, but since it was my first time writing a book, I was worried that my writing skills were not good enough, and that the world-building was not yet complete.

I finally decided to write a relatively bland urban rebirth story first, to practice various frameworks, scenarios, and data calculations, and lay the foundation for my next book.

Thus, "Rebirth in 1990" was born...

I also hope that all readers will support me with likes, comments, and follows, as these are my motivation to write.

I wouldn't call myself an author, just a writer.
