Chapter 96: The first visit (additional update for the Luck Golden Dragon’s reward)
After Xue Sumei packed up her things, Zhou Chen drove the mother and daughter back home and sent all their things upstairs before leaving.
In such a big house, it took a lot of effort to have a mistress for two days, but now she is gone again. Zhou Chen is lying alone on the bed, feeling very melancholy.
After running on the treadmill for half an hour, Zhou Chen took a shower and then went to sleep.
The trip is over, and he will start working on the wedding dress store. He has agreed on a time with the brand, and the goods will be delivered to his door in two days. The other party will also send special personnel to explain the wedding dress to the employees in his store.
characteristics and brand characteristics, etc.
The wedding dress brand that Zhou Chen cooperates with is a well-known brand at home and abroad. In order to get this brand here, Zhou Chen spent a lot of money.
But this is something that must be done. After all, when you just open a store, you must have a famous brand to attract customers.
After these people arrived, Zhou Chen also planned to let Yang Tao learn from them. Yang Tao likes wedding dress design, so she will definitely be interested.
In addition to wedding dresses, photographer Zhou Chen has already planned to find a solution from Hong Baida, whom he met while climbing Mount Tai. As for makeup artists and stylists, he found two through recruitment, which is enough for the time being. He has not yet found all the clerks, but there are already
We have three of them, so we should be able to deal with them in the early stages of opening.
After all, they are not in the catering industry or a shopping mall. It is impossible for a large number of customers to pour in on the day they open. The wedding business he is doing needs to be fermented slowly. Even if there are guests, it is impossible.
We can reach an agreement within a short while.
The next day, Zhou Chen notified the employees who had been recruited to come to the store. There was nothing important today, just to discuss salary and cleaning.
As for salary, Zhou Chen had already inquired clearly. It was based on the market's basic salary plus commission, and neither more nor less was given. How much money the employee could get in the end depended on the employee's own ability.
After being busy until the evening, Zhou Chen went back to take a shower, changed clothes, went to the supermarket to buy some nutritional supplements, and then headed to Yangtao's community.
"You kid, you came right here. What else did you bring?"
When Zhou Chen came to the door, Yang Tao's family happened to be there. Xue Sumei saw that Zhou Chen had brought so many things to the door, and she immediately scolded him unsatisfied.
Zhou Chen said with a smile: "It's my first time here and I don't know what to buy. I just bought some nutritional supplements. Auntie, I hope you won't be surprised."
"It's weird to buy something, come in."
Zhou Chen put down the things and saw Yang Tao sitting on the sofa with his left leg on the coffee table and smiled sweetly at him.
In addition to Xue Sumei and Yang Tao, there was also Su Qing and a man in the room. Xue Sumei took the initiative to introduce them.
"Xiao Zhou, you have met my niece Qing'er. This is Qing'er's husband. His surname is Duan. Duan Xifeng, Xifeng, this is the Zhou Chen we mentioned, Xiao Zhou."
Zhou Chen immediately called out politely: "Brother-in-law, hello."
Duan Xifeng looks to be in his mid-thirties and is wearing a black suit. He looks like a successful man. He has a bit of a beard and does not look very refreshing.
"Hello Zhou Chen, I've heard my aunt and others talk about you a long time ago, and sure enough, that kid also mentioned you to me several times. Today I finally met the real person. Sure enough, you are more energetic than they said. Come here quickly.
Sit down, we brothers are going to have a few drinks today."
Duan Xifeng looked familiar, and he called Zhou Chen brothers and sisters, and his attitude was very cordial.
Before Zhou Chen could speak, Yang Tao, who was sitting on the sofa, said loudly: "Brother-in-law, Zhou Chen drove here, so he can't drink."
Xue Sumei immediately scolded in disgust: "You are the only one who talks too much."
Duan Xifeng said with a smile: "It's okay. It's easy to find a driver in Yanjing. Just let the driver drive back then. Zhou Chen, I brought two bottles of good wine this time. You can't help but
Give me face."
"No problem, then I'll have a few drinks with my brother-in-law today."
When it comes to drinking, Zhou Chen really has never been afraid of anyone. As a state-owned winery, he often drinks raw wine of 70 or 80 degrees, not to mention the finished wine after processing. I dare not say more than two kilograms.
no problem.
"Come on, Zhou Chen, come and sit down. We can eat soon."
Zhou Chen was pulled to the sofa by Duan Xifeng and sat next to Yang Tao. Yang Tao smiled and held his arm.
"Tsk tsk, Taozi, you're not reserved at all if you hook up so quickly?" Duan Xifeng laughed at Yang Tao.
Yang Tao winked for a while, she was obviously much more lively in front of her own home and relatives.
Xue Sumei and Su Qing were busy in the kitchen, while Duan Xifeng was sitting with Zhou Chen chatting. The two men were chatting away from each other.
Duan Xifeng is a very talkative person, he talks non-stop. Most of the time he is the one asking questions, and Zhou Chen answers, from the Civil Affairs Bureau to Zhou Chen's bridal shop...
To sum up, Duan Xifeng purposefully inquired about his situation.
Zhou Chen is not disgusted with this. This is normal. Who doesn't take a good look at the man's family and character before marrying his daughter?
The food was quickly prepared. Zhou Chen helped Yang Tao to the table. Five people sat at the rectangular table. Xue Sumei sat in the middle seat. On the left were Su Qing and Duan Xifeng, and on the right were Yang Tao and Zhou Chen
.
Before moving her chopsticks, Xue Sumei suddenly said with emotion: "This is the first time in many years that so many people in our family can eat at the same table."
Yang Tao's father passed away when she was very young. Later, she took care of her daughter Yang Tao and niece Su Qing alone, and then there was Duan Xifeng.
But at most, there were only four people. Now with Zhou Chen added, it became five people, which made Xue Sumei both happy and a little uncomfortable.
"Mom." "Auntie."
Xue Sumei wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and said with a smile: "I'm fine. It's the first time Xiao Zhou comes to visit today. You should be happy. Xifeng, I'll leave the task of drinking with Xiao Zhou to you."
Duan Xifeng immediately replied: "No problem, aunt, leave it to me."
The wine was ready and it was white. Zhou Chen wanted to pour the wine, but Duan Xifeng signaled him to come and poured half a cup for Zhou Chen.
"Zhou Chen, come, I respect you, welcome you to come, and welcome you to come in the future."
"Brother-in-law, I respect you. Don't worry, Taozi is here. I will definitely come here often in the future."
"Hahaha……"
Suddenly there was laughter.
While eating vegetables and drinking wine, Zhou Chen and Duan Xifeng soon finished one bottle. Duan Xifeng opened another bottle despite Su Qing's dissuasion.
"Xifeng, drink less. This is Zhou Chen's first visit. Don't get drunk."
Duan Xifeng eats at the wine table all year round due to work reasons and has a good drinking capacity. He said: "Qing'er, don't worry. Look at Xiao Zhou's appearance. This little wine is nothing to him."
Whether you can drink or not can be seen after two drinks. For someone like Zhou Chen who drank half a pound without blushing, he can tell at a glance that he is drinkable.
Xue Sumei waved her hand to Su Qing, "Qing'er, let the two brothers drink. Xifeng has been with us for so many years, and no one has ever drank with him. Today, finally, someone who can drink with him came, so let them
Have a drink and enjoy yourself."
"Yes, yes, what Auntie said makes sense." Duan Xifeng turned around and made a rainbow fart.
"Xiao Zhou, you're welcome, just treat this place as your home. Oh, no, it's not my place to say this. I'm afraid it won't be long before it's you who should say this to me."
"Brother-in-law..."
"Okay, let's not talk anymore, Tao Zi is already shy."
Zhou Chen raised his glass: "Brother-in-law, I toast you this glass. Let's drink it slowly."
…………
After drinking two bottles of wine, Duan Xifeng's eyes were blurred, while Zhou Chen's face was slightly red, but his mind was still very clear.
"Zhou Chen, your drinking capacity is quite good, you're no worse than me. Qing'er, do you have any more wine?"
Su Qing immediately scolded: "Forget it, look at you like this, what else can you drink."
"I can still drink, I want Zhou Chen to keep me company." Duan Xifeng shouted.
Su Qing covered her forehead with a look of helplessness. Xue Sumei quickly waved her hand, "Qing'er, take him to sit on the sofa to sober up. Just now I was worried that he would drink Xiao Zhou, but it turned out well. He is a small person.
Zhou is fine, he collapsed."
"Auntie, I'm not drunk. I just drank too much and got a little drunk. I can still drink after taking a break."
Ignoring Duan Xifeng's efforts, Su Qing directly helped him onto the sofa.
"Xiao Zhou, are you okay?" Xue Sumei asked Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen: "Auntie, I'm fine."
"Young man has a really good drinking capacity."
Xue Sumei gave a thumbs up, and then said: "Xiao Zhou, let me tell you, today I talked about the house with the family opposite."
