When Patiguli heard Cao Zhen's statement, she frowned and asked him cautiously: "Is this reliable?"
"Are you talking about the renovation of the Five Star Department Store?" Cao Zhen asked her.
Seeing his wife nodding, Cao Zhen said: "Don't worry, this thing is definitely reliable."
Cao Zhen continued: "This is my best buddy. He will definitely not lie to me."
"Besides, he works as a middle-level leader in a five-star department store in the city, and is the director of the shopping mall planning department," Cao Zhen said.
"If our hotel really moves to the fifth floor of the Five-Star Department Store, I will definitely ask him to personally plan an opening event for us."
"Then I'll take some time to go over and take a look." Patiguli said.
She said: "When the time comes, you can come with me and have a look. If it works, let's do something about it."
"Okay, I'll definitely follow you there." Cao Zhen looked outside and said, "I also called my uncle and told him that after finishing this year at most, I'll ask him to find someone else to come and watch next year."
"Uncle agreed?" Patiguli asked.
Cao Zhen nodded: "Uncle must agree, otherwise your mother-in-law wouldn't let him."
"Hehe." When Patiguli heard him talking about this, she couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing.
Mainly because Cao Zhen's mother, Lian Fengying, wanted to have her grandson as soon as possible. She felt that since both her son and daughter-in-law were in Changji, Xinjiang, it would be inconvenient to take care of them if they gave birth to children in the future.
In addition, her daughter-in-law's parents and close relatives were no longer alive. After much deliberation, Lian Fengying communicated with his son privately and discussed that it would be more convenient for them to return to Yiling City.
Lian Fengying also told her son not to rush this matter and to discuss it slowly. In the end, it turned out to be unreasonable. It would be fine for them to stay in Changji, Xinjiang. At worst, she would rush over to help take care of him.
Cao Zhen hung up the phone with his mother and discussed the matter with his wife Patiguli that night. What Cao Zhen didn't expect was that his wife Patiguli agreed at that time.
However, Patiguli also had a request. She didn't want to go back and prepare to give birth to a child, but she wanted to continue working in her old business and open a restaurant.
For a 'strong woman' like Patiguli, she doesn't feel at ease at all if she doesn't have her own career.
She was planning to move her business to Yiling City.
Without saying a word, Cao Zhen agreed on the spot and promised his wife that he would find a good place for her.
In Cao Zhen's words, it can't even be done in Pingyuan County, and must be developed in the city.
Later, they will also buy a house in Yiling City.
If you want to open this kind of restaurant with strong regional characteristics, ordinary places are not suitable. You must go to places with high consumption, otherwise you will not be able to open it at all.
With this matter in mind, Cao Zhen kept asking friends in his hometown for information about the location.
His hard work paid off, and after some inquiries and interviews with many people, he finally found such a place.
A friend told him that the five-star department store in Yiling City is being renovated. The original merchandise area on the fifth floor has been renovated into a food area in the new renovation plan, and is now being promoted to attract investment.
After learning the news, Cao Zhen called Cao Fei without saying a word.
He knew that Cao Fei was a middle-level manager at a five-star department store in the city.
I asked Cao Fei and found out that this was really the case.
What else did Cao Zhen say? He asked Cao Fei to leave a place for him on the spot.
He also said he would go back soon.
Hearing what Cao Zhen said, Cao Fei was very loyal and told him that he would definitely reserve the best place, but he needed Cao Zhen to come back as soon as possible to discuss investment and leasing.
If Cao Zhen keeps stalling, even if Cao Fei is a middle-level manager of a five-star department store, it won't be easy.
It was because of this incident that Cao Zhen and Patiguli came up with the idea of returning to Yiling City in the near future.
Cao Zhen was eating when his cell phone rang again. He saw that it was a worker calling him. After getting through, Cao Zhen said a few words to the other party.
After hanging up the phone, Cao Zhen finished his meal in a hurry and told his wife that he was going to visit the fields.
When Patiguli saw Cao Zhen in such a hurry, she felt very puzzled and asked him: "What happened?"
"Cotton attracts diseases and insect pests, I'll go take a look." Cao Zhen said.
Patiguli didn't want to expose him, but she still asked: "Do you understand?"
"I don't understand, but I have to make up my mind." Cao Zhen said this, he was thick-skinned enough.
Patiguli looked at him with disgust: "Go quickly, if you really don't understand, you can ask a technician."
"Don't worry, I'm not stupid!" Cao Zhen left after finishing his meal.
…
In the center of Yiling, the original five-star department store began to close for renovations after the May Day holiday last month.
This time Five Star Department Store took a drastic step and started from scratch.
They found that they couldn't do it without decoration.
Their mall is still the same traditional mall as before. From the first to the fifth floor, various categories of items are sold, and the first floor below is the Minsheng Supermarket.
However, the malls currently completed are all comprehensive commercial centers.
Compared with Yintai Mall, Wanxianghui, Wanda Plaza, etc., which provide one-stop services for eating, drinking and entertainment, the five-star department store, which is a landmark commercial center in Yiling City, is not comparable at all.
In response to this, the management of Yiling City Five Star Department Store finally made up its mind to formulate this renovation plan after an emergency communication meeting.
They discovered that if they didn't do this, they would not only lose customers, but they would probably end the fun and all the traffic would be attracted to the new commercial center. By then it would be too late for them to regret it!
Cao Fei's job is planning. Looking at the five-star department store under renovation, he thought about the task assigned to him by his leader, asking him to prepare in advance to plan a new mall opening event.
This task is very important, and the burden on Cao Fei's shoulders is very heavy.
Once the opening performance of the renovated new five-star department store is not satisfactory, it may be considered that its opening planning activities are not adequate.
This kind of thing makes no sense, but Cao Fei knows that it is real.
If you want to keep this high-paying job, you must take responsibility.
Cao Fei was thinking about something and was a little distracted. He didn't notice someone calling him next to him.
"Director Cao, Director Cao." The visitor shouted.
This looks like a young man in his 20s. He still wears the killer hairstyle that was popular a few years ago. His hair is dyed grape purple. He looks very fashionable, but in Cao Fei's eyes, he always feels that this is a bit inappropriate.
Mature.
Cao Fei turned around and saw that it was him, and asked, "Xiao Luo, is something wrong?"
This young man’s name is Luo Chuanlei.
Luo Chuanlei is only a few years younger than Cao Fei, but Cao Fei calls him "Little Luo" very smoothly.
Luo Chuanlei knew that Director Cao did not like to be verbose, so he quickly reported the work: "Director Cao, Manager Li is looking for you and wants you to come over quickly."
"Manager Li is looking for me?" Cao Fei repeated.
Seeing Luo Chuanlei nodding, he said: "Where is Manager Li now?"
"Over there at the temporary office area of the newspaper building." Luo Chuanlei said.
The Five-Star Department Store in Yiling City was renovated. Considering personnel safety issues, even the original office space was closed and no entry was allowed.
Work could not stop, so they temporarily rented an office building on the first floor of the nearby Yiling City newspaper building to use as an office area.
Cao Fei nodded and said to him: "I understand, go and do your work."
After Luo Chuanlei delivered the message, he went back to his own business.
Cao Fei is very busy, and the employees below him are even busier. This kind of thing is never isolated.
Cao Fei stood there for a while, and then rushed to the temporary office area of the city newspaper building in the shopping mall.
After coming over, Cao Fei went to the door of the department manager's office, knocked on the door, went in, and reported to the department manager Li Zhishan.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw a middle-aged man with white hair sitting in the office and reading a book.
Seeing Cao Fei come in, Li Zhishan put down his book and asked with a smile: "Xiao Cao, how are you preparing for the event?"
Cao Fei really wanted to tell the truth. The renovation had just begun. How was he going to do this?
But you can't answer that.
After organizing the words in his mind, Cao Fei said: "Manager, I have been preparing. According to the new decoration plan of the mall, I think..."
Cao Fei has been involved in the planning activities of the mall these years, and he is very familiar with this area. Even if there is no manuscript, he can speak clearly and logically based on his imagination.
What's more, he himself has made a lot of achievements in this field, so the mall headquarters did not hesitate to transfer him from the county seat to the city, and also promoted him.
After Li Zhishan heard Cao Fei's planning idea, he nodded frequently. He didn't know whether he really understood it or whether he particularly recognized Cao Fei.
…
In Caojiazhuang, Cao Shujie and his wife edited a new video together.
This is a spliced video about the different stages of kiwi fruit growth, which can effectively show the ‘characteristics’ of the kiwi fruit in their orchard.
Cheng Xiaolin did it very seriously. After listening to her husband's advice, she felt that there was no problem in doing so.
"Shujie, where did Mengmeng go? Why is there no movement downstairs?" After Cheng Xiaolin finished a stage, she heard that it was quiet downstairs, and she was quite puzzled.
Cao Shujie said: "She went out to play with grandpa just now. There is no need to worry about her in Caojiazhuang."
Cheng Xiaolin glanced at him, wondering if he was still his biological father?
"Look at this place..." Cao Shujie pointed to a spliced and edited place in the video, put forward his own ideas, and even said an interesting phrase.
Cheng Xiaolin found that with this funny entry, the video originally showing the growth process of kiwi fruit became particularly vivid and interesting.
She said: "Shujie, how did you come up with this entry? Think of a few more interesting ones."
Cao Shujie will definitely cooperate and rack his brains to help his wife come up with various jokes or jokes. They will discuss it together and use whatever they think is good.
After the video editing phase was completed, the couple felt like their heads were going to explode.
"Too tired!" Cao Shujie muttered.
Cheng Xiaolin said: "No matter how tired you are, you still have results. I feel good about it."
She said confidently: "Shujie, just watch it, I always feel that this video can also become popular."
