Chapter 2092: No Wonder This Shop Lost Money
No wonder this shop lost money every year. There were barely any customers.
Ning Shu didn’t reveal her identity and walked around the store. Some expired food still sat on the shelves. Some of the vegetables in the produce aisle had turned yellow. They just left them there. Didn’t they see them rotting?
Although they saw a shopper enter, none of the clerks greeted her or asked Ning Shu what she was looking for.
It was discouraging.
Some brand-name products could still be found in the market, but the business was failing and many shops were already empty.
Many brands already withdrew because they were not making money.
As Ning Shu walked, she counted them. Five of the ten shops were empty, with the remaining ones stubbornly hanging on.
She bought some food and spent the day strolling around every corner of the store.
Ning Shu took out a notebook and recorded various problems she noticed.
There were a great deal of them and it would take a lot of effort and money to fix.
She knew that Wen Ermei had bad intentions in letting her take over, but she had to press on. The company didn’t have a place for her and the other, profitable stores were just out of her reach.
All she could do was try her best to run the Huaxin market and prove herself.
It was already dark when Ning Shu left the market. Her cell phone rang as soon as she drove into the garage. The display read ‘Tang Yu’.
Ning Shu was surprised. Tang Yu never took the initiative to call Wen Hanlei. The phone rang for a while before she picked up.
Ning Shu pressed the answer button and heard Tang Yu’s anxious voice ask, “Wen Hanlei, do you know where Bai Feifei went? She even took her clothes. I’ve been to her school, and neither the teacher nor her classmates know where she is. It’s so late and she still hasn’t come back.”
“How should I know where she went? I’m not her mother yet,” Ning Shu said, her lips twitching.
Bai Feifei ran away and he decided to ask her about it? Bai Feifei would rather sleep on the streets than come to her.
Bai Feifei would be fine, anyway. It was a heroine’s privilege to do anything she wanted. Getting to make mistakes was the beauty of youth.
“Wen Hanlei, what’s with your attitude?” Tang Yu’s voice was low. He was probably too anxious, causing him to take his anger out on Ning Shu.
Ning Shu: What’d it have to do with me?
“If you have time to call me, why not go look for your girl? Such a sweet little girl, still not home after dark… If she runs into any bad guys, she won’t have the power to resist. It’s so horrible… ” He hung up before Ning Shu finished talking.
Ning Shu lips curled. Let him worry.
Bai Feifei should be having fun eating at a friend’s house right about now.
Who knew where Bai Feifei’s confidence that Tang Yu would accept this came from. As expected, those who were loved were willful. All you had to do to test whether that love was real was to be stupid.
Ning Shu hurriedly arrived at the Wen family’s dinner. She sat down and took a sip of soup. She finished half her bowl before telling Father Wen, “Father, I went to the Huaxin market today.”
“Ha ha ha… ” Wen Ermei suddenly smirked.
Ning Shu glanced at Wen Ermei. “What are you laughing at? You’ve got something stuck in your teeth.”
Wen Ermei closed her mouth immediately and told Ning Shu, “Now that you’ve seen the store you’ll manage, what do you think?”
Ning Shu ignored her and asked Father Wen, “Father, can you give me some funds?”
“Sister, you should give up. There’s no way the company will invest in the Huaxin market. It would be impossible to earn the money back.” Wen Ermei smiled.
