Reborn in 1990: My Family Store Leads to the Future

"I have to admire your skills, boss of Guangchong Road."

"That's right, no one on Xijing Road can do that."

"I thought Boss Lu was lying before, but I didn't expect him to actually do it. What more can I say? I'll be coming to your store from now on."

"Boss Lu, give me another twenty yuan's worth of stuff. I still have a few bills left, so I'll use them all up."

Customers chatted and laughed as they shopped, growing increasingly impressed by Lu Yuan's dedication.

Hearing what everyone said, Lu Yuan felt a little embarrassed. He scratched his head and said with a smile.

"Thank you all for your support. To repay your trust, I've decided to add two more winners to the list of free one-year vouchers for the bubble tea shop. Anyone who makes a purchase today will have a chance to receive a number, and I'll draw the winners tomorrow at noon!"

This was a method that Lu Yuan came up with on the spur of the moment, and it was because of everyone's support that he came up with this idea.

Seeing this, Sui Tingting asked in a low voice, "How do we do this?"

Lu Yuan took out a stack of blank cards from the warehouse; these were the lottery props he had prepared that he hadn't used up.

He picked up two cards and said.

"From now until noon tomorrow, everyone who spends more than 20 yuan here will receive a card with a number written on it. There will be two cards with the same number, and I will draw the winners tomorrow afternoon. Anyone whose number matches ours will receive a year's worth of free shopping vouchers!"

"Boss Lu is so generous, is that really true?"

"Um, Mr. Lu, I'm not going to participate in the lottery. Can I just get some card art instead?"

At this moment, the guest in front of him spoke up very enthusiastically.

Lu Yuan smiled and nodded: "No problem, I'll change it right now."

"How could you do this? Running away without permission, huh? I need one too."

"Who wouldn't want a card?"

Everyone's enthusiasm was reignited. Those who originally intended to buy items worth ten or twenty yuan immediately bought items worth twenty yuan or more after some consideration.

I originally planned to buy twenty, but ended up buying forty.

It wasn't until around 3 or 4 p.m. that the flow of people finally slowed down, during which time Hu Lili came over to help.

Sui Tingting leaned against the counter, something she wouldn't normally do, but she was really too tired today.

She enjoys this feeling of being busy because it means her salary will increase significantly.

"Boss, how did you come up with this idea? I think most people wouldn't even think of it."

"I'm not an ordinary person."

Lu Yuan touched his face to make sure he still had skin, and said with a smile.

He then looked at the exhausted Sui Tingting and asked.

"You're so tired every day, do you ever complain about me?"

"What are you talking about, boss? Although working here is a bit tiring, I earn a lot of money. I'm not going to turn down money, am I?"

Sui Tingting spoke with a smile.

"I see."

This surprised Lu Yuan quite a bit. He looked at the supermarket across the street and asked a question.

"Do you have to take the bus for a while after you get off each day? Is the journey long?"

"It's alright. It takes about half an hour each day, which is manageable since my home isn't too far from here."

Sui Tingting thought for a moment and then spoke briefly. After she finished speaking, she suddenly realized something and looked at Lu Yuan with a hint of wariness.

"Boss, you wouldn't...?"

"Don't get me wrong, I just wanted to ask you if you would be willing to stay here if I offered you accommodation?"

Lu Yuan was afraid that this guy would say something that would shock even himself, so he quickly spoke up.

As his voice fell, Sui Tingting, who had just been speaking, paused for a moment, seemingly not expecting Lu Yuan to say such a thing.

After a brief hesitation, he nodded hurriedly.

"Food and lodging included?"

"Don't worry about the rent, but you'll have to take care of the utilities yourself. For food and drinks, go find Grandpa Hu."

This was something Lu Yuan had prepared from the very beginning.

He had already asked the others what they thought, and if they felt it wasn't necessary, then Lu Yuan would renovate Chu You's shop in the next few days.

No, there should be a supermarket much earlier.

The front area was for selling goods, while the back area served as a warehouse and accommodation.

Food and lodging are provided, and the pay is generous; this is far better than the treatment in ordinary shops.

Sui Tingting nodded hurriedly and said, "That's great! If you're planning to do this, boss, I'll definitely move in without hesitation."

"It won't take more than a few days."

Lu Yuan rubbed his temples and said.

Moving there is simple, but he plans to settle things here first, and then talk about where to live after he's settled.

After that, the matter was temporarily put aside.

After get off work, he went to Xuewang Milk Tea to check today's earnings, which were two or three thousand yuan less than yesterday.

I inquired and found out it was because of the coupons he gave out a while ago, and now so many people are coming here because of his reputation that no one even has a chance to rest.

Lu Yuan said he would treat everyone properly after this period was over.

They secretly gave Grandpa Hu some money, asking him to cook more good food for everyone.

After finishing all that and returning home, I saw my uncle, Wang Peng, sitting in front of a plate of shrimp noodles as soon as I entered the door.

Lu Yuan sat down and pulled the prawn directly in front of him.

"Why is Uncle here?"

"You little brat, you come back and start stealing my things, huh?"

Seeing his unfriendly manner, Wang Peng chuckled and scolded him.

Seeing this, Wang Xiuqin brought out another plate and said.

"He's such a grown man, why does he still act like a child? Don't take it to heart."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan asked a question while peeling shrimp.

"By the way, haven't you been pretty busy lately? How come you still have time to care about me?"

"Your aunt wants you to come to her house for dinner and wants you to visit more often."

When it came to serious matters, Wang Peng spoke slowly.

He used to worry most about Lu Yuan, fearing that Lu Yuan's shop would not be able to stay afloat, but he never expected that Lu Yuan would be able to make the shop so popular.

After saying what his wife had asked him to say, he suddenly paused and looked at him.

"By the way, tell me honestly, has a milk tea shop recently opened on Xijing Road? Next time you visit my house, remember to bring some over for your aunt to try."

How did you know it was me who opened it?

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then looked at the person in front of him and subconsciously asked a question.

Wang Peng was originally worried about Lu Yuan's business, but after hearing these words, he was stunned for a moment, and then looked at his nephew, almost wanting to make a move.

"You secretly opened a shop without telling me? What kind of nephew are you? And when did you become so clever?"
