Please make money.

Because the supermarket had set up a few tents to wait for the employees who would arrive later, it became a popular spot to take shelter from the rain and everyone flocked here.

"It should be the autumn typhoon that's coming. It should have come before... This rain won't stop any time soon."

Not only could it not stop, everyone looked out from inside and saw that Tianhai City, which was sunny in the morning, was now covered by a layer of dark clouds.

I didn’t notice it before because the room was brightly lit, but now through the door, it looks like the end of the world.

Ailia clapped her hands, "Stop for a moment! Everyone stop for a moment! Ask the salesmen and shopping guides inside to go to the living area to get umbrellas and bring the people in first!"

The rain was so heavy that we couldn't just hide under the eaves. If the supermarket was open before, it could accommodate many customers. But today it was closed, and others could only stare at the door and couldn't get in. Now a group of people were already squeezed out.

Ailia rolled up her sleeves. "Take care of the elderly and children first. Turn off the machines at the cashier's desk. Close the shop. Bring people in to have a rest first! Also, Jin Fan, you can take a few people with you to the warehouse and get some towels and other things! Where's the fresh produce? Fresh produce! Where's the person in charge? Go get some hot water, ginger soup, or something like that. I've always said that the restroom should have been renovated a long time ago. We need an oversized one..."

The store manager held the small notebook in his hand and looked towards Mr. Sun unconsciously.

That is to say, is it possible that we are really just a supermarket, not a welfare institution, and we are doing business, not charity?

Just open the door and let everyone in to avoid the rain. Why does it sound like the young lady is about to let the other party sleep over here and rest?

Mr. Sun glared at her and said, "Didn't you hear the eldest lady's arrangement? Go and do it!"

Are you kidding me? The entire supermarket is a young lady’s playing toy. The group has already spent 2 billion yuan, and it still cares about these 1,800 yuan?

The door was opened and people rushed in in a panic. Alia led people to maintain order. The brightly lit supermarket formed a sharp contrast with the apocalyptic darkness outside.

"The supermarket is closed! It's closed! Please take a rest here! We will arrange seats for you soon - this way, the rest area!"

After shouting for a while, Alia jumped down, sighed as she looked at the wet child, and wrapped the child in a towel.

An Lele had already gone out into the rain with people and umbrellas to catch people. When she saw others running, she ran faster than them, grabbed them, shoved the umbrella in their hands and pointed towards the supermarket. Even if the other person wanted to run away and go home, he could only come over here holding the umbrella first.

This is not a good deed, it's clearly a passerby hunter...

A steady stream of embarrassed passers-by entered the supermarket, nearly three hundred people in total.

The commercial street itself has a corridor, but the corridor is now full of splashing water. The other party is squeezed in those narrow small stores where every inch of space is valuable. After thinking about it, I just ran over here. After all, the supermarket side is bigger and more spacious. However, I felt numb after entering.

Is this a popular tourist attraction?

……

……

Youzhi is a student who loves milk tea. He originally came to the commercial street with his friends to stroll around, thinking of buying a cup of Juejuezi's Peach Blossom Bangbang Taro Paste Bobo Coconut Milk.

As a result, while we were waiting in line, a heavy rain poured down on us. When we were running away in a panic, a guy with an umbrella in the rain handed us two umbrellas and pointed us over here.

When she came in, she had already made up her mind that she would buy something even if she had to grit her teeth. After all, the other person gave her an umbrella, so she was still doing him a favor.

But after entering, I found that the store was closed - hey - then why did you arrest people?

"Here, take it and wipe it, dry your hair first."

A salesgirl handed over an unopened towel. Yuzhi suddenly realized what was going on and quickly took out his phone: "How much? Where do you scan? You scan me and I scan you?"

"It's free, just use it. The hot water is over there. Don't throw towels away after use, you can put them in the big recycling bin. If you like them, you can take them home. It's a gift."

Youzhi took the towel in a daze and looked at his companions. Everyone was even a little nervous and didn't dare to use it.

But the wet feeling was really bad, and they finally couldn't control themselves and ruined the soft towels.

Very warm, very dry, but also very moist...

"Is it really a gift?"

"Maybe it's an advertisement. It's just a towel. A small favor, a small favor... What is this?"

My companion was mumbling something in his ear when another sign was stuffed into his mouth.

"There are special drying machines in the maternal and infant room, but there aren't enough of them, so you need to queue up to use them. I can help you dry them, just go by number - if you don't need them, you can give me your name tag, and if you do, I'll call your number later."

"…Do you want money?"

"No, we are closed today! I repeat! We are closed today! Everything we give to everyone is free! We don't charge any money!"

Youzhi also took a sign and stared at his companions.

My companion blinked and said, "It's just a little bit... a little bit of normal service attitude. Customers are God, right? I am very touched, but we are all adults. I know they do this to make me -"

"Here, this is a disposable raincoat. If you're in a hurry to go back, please come here to register. We've already booked a bus, but it will take some time to dispatch. The route is basically overlapping with the bus. Here's the raincoat for you, so you don't get wet on the last leg of the journey after drying yourself off... Take it!"

"...Why don't you sell something? I want to buy something, but - I'm embarrassed."

"I'm busy. We're closed today. We're renovating. I'll let you know when we open. Take it, take it..."

236-Yes, this is my plan! Sin Bag 3/20

Alia couldn't understand why customers nowadays were so shameless.

Or, when did we need to be so cautious about good intentions?

Alia was really heartbroken! Damn it, I should have killed those colleagues long ago! I can't run a business with those insects!

Fortunately, everyone’s reactions were relatively normal, and some responses were even touching.

Just take some towels and some disposable raincoats, the total cost is less than ten dollars, but it's like getting some huge benefit that is too hot to handle.

She was even dragged by the hand and forced to ask her boss to open the supermarket and do the cashiering!

Look at that old lady's expression. She won't be willing to go back today unless she loads a cart worth a hundred or eighty yuan.

Ailia thought to herself, I don’t have any boss above me, what can you do to me if I don’t open the door today?

Do you understand the value of the White Dragon Fish Suit? I am super strong!

But when it came to his lips, he could only persuade: "Don't open it, don't open it, really don't open it, it's decorated, you see, there are goods everywhere, it's not suitable!"

The aunt held Alia's arm with one hand and rolled a towel around her grandson's head with the other.

"Oh! Oh, this is really good! I just want to buy some rice, some flour, grain and oil, which can be used!"

Ailia looked at her grandson trembling, rummaged through her pocket, took out a lollipop and handed it to the child.

"Come, hold your grandma. If you feel cold, be sure to tell me. The elderly and children can jump the queue and go to the mother and baby room."

The aunt who was entangled by her grandson had no choice but to let Alia go. The latter turned around and jumped onto a platform, looking around the venue with squinted eyes.

The store manager was busy for a while, and then, with a flushed face and a little entanglement about "spending public money to gain personal moral satisfaction", he came over.

"My lady——"

"Ok?"

"I've called a car, but the company said it might not be possible to send one over for the time being..."

"what's the situation?"

“Some sections of urban roads are flooded.”

"How long has it been raining? Is Tianhai City's groundwater project so fragile?"

"Maybe it's because the rain is too heavy..."

In fact, the Tianhai City Meteorological Forecast Station has already issued a red warning signal.

There will be precipitation of more than 100mm in parts of Tianhai city, accompanied by thunder and lightning, and gusts of 7-9.

Moreover, the city will still experience heavy rainfall for the next week, and today's autumn typhoon is unusually fierce.

"Do you have any suggestions?" If there was really no other way, the store manager would not have come over and brought up this matter specifically to cause bad luck.

“The bus company has it!”

"Then contact them." Alia looked at her watch. "The bus company has spare buses and extra buses, right? Contact them, even if it costs extra money. There are a lot of people on the commercial street, and we need to send them all back before the heavy rain comes... We haven't completed the modification yet, so we can't handle everyone's long-term rest needs."

The store manager nodded and went to get busy, now he had a goal.

Mr. Sun was still wearing the cashier's vest. He came over with a box of water and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"My lady, the weather has been bad recently, and it's not the peak shopping season, so it's suitable for interior decoration."

"Hmm... How long will the modification take?"

"It won't take much effort. It will take at most half a month. If there are enough people and enough money, they can finish it in a week."

The construction period of hard decoration is only two months, which includes the time for materials to arrive.

Now, except for some large places such as toilets, mother-and-child rooms, and rest areas, other places only need to be modified with soft furnishings, which can be done by the property department themselves.

The property department of the Ai Group was originally built up by Ai Rulong single-handedly. The designs in the early years were very attentive and the reputation was very good.

Later, the property department gradually failed to keep up with the development pace of the group and gradually became mediocre, but this does not mean that the eighteen shareholders are all just for show.

He also worked his way up from the grassroots level. Mr. Sun can now tell the entire decoration process with just his fingers even with his eyes closed.

"Water, electricity, pipelines, and hidden works, and then tiles and walls. It takes a lot of time to inspect and accept the masonry work. Finally, carpentry. If materials such as paint contain formaldehyde and need to be left to stand, you have to wait a little longer. Finally, after everything is done, the acceptance and settlement must be completed, and you have to apply for fire inspections... The budget may be higher than you think. The original decoration of our supermarket cost a lot of money, about 600 yuan per square meter. The renovation is expected to cost more than 800 yuan, and the area is quite large."

The building area of ​​this comprehensive supermarket of Ai Group is about 100,000 square meters, which means that it cost more than 60 million yuan just for decoration.

How old was Alia at that time? If you calculate the time, it really cost a lot of money back then. No wonder Mr. Sun said it has become a mess now.

The once glorious leader of the commercial street has now become a useless entity with more than 30 supermarkets with a total annual revenue and profit of only 100 million yuan. It is heartbreaking to hear about it and brings tears to eyes to see it.

If the Ai Group was not leaderless, simply selling the land and collecting rent for this integrated supermarket would be more profitable than the more than 100 million yuan earned through hard work.

Alia waved her hand. "Budgets and such are minor issues. I have a sum of private money that's just right."

Thank you Miss Jiang Tianyi for the tens of millions of dollars, which is just right for use here, and Prime Minister Lei can also report some of it.

This is the advantage of being the boss. As long as Alia doesn't give the group away in a fit of anger, it won't be easy for her to find an excuse to spend some money.

Seven days is certainly not enough time to completely transform an entire supermarket, including the staff, but it is a good start, isn’t it?

"Give some candy to those noisy children. If a car comes, please ask it to detour and park at our side exit. There are sheds and corridors over there, so you won't get wet in the rain. Also, clothes that have been dried in the rain will smell like rust. Put some perfume or something... That counter? Isn't there perfume over there? Spray it and choose one that smells good."

"Miss, this is a live advertisement for us. Look at those customers. Next time they come shopping, they will definitely come and have a look at our supermarket!"

"Advertisement? What advertisement?" Alia looked confused: "Uncle Sun, you call this an advertisement?"

"Isn't it—isn't it?"

"Of course not... How about this, take out one million and set up a special fund for benefiting the people. When encountering similar situations, use it, whether it's raining or hot. Compared to spending some money to give gifts, I hope that employees can really have this heart - even if they can put themselves in others' shoes and do something."

"What?"

“Do the little things you can do.”

Alia jumped down and took a super big umbrella from An Lele.

“Sometimes, just because I’m caught in the rain, I want to hold an umbrella for others!”

……

……

When Youzhi returned to the dormitory, the other friends had also returned.

She and her companions sat in front of the table, staring blankly, feeling dry and refreshed, and even having a warm milky scent.

This means that there is definitely something wrong with that supermarket!

Youzhi even saw them directly dismantling the talcum powder they were selling to give to their children. She also took advantage of the children's glory and was given a baby perfume by her older sister.

The other two friends in the dormitory twisted their clothes, looking as disheveled as if they had just been pulled out of the sea, and crawled into the dormitory with difficulty.

"It's no use bringing an umbrella! My clothes are all wet! Do you guys need to use the bathroom? I want to take a shower... um? You guys didn't go out?"

"Go out." The companion's sister said in a muffled voice, with her head lowered, sincerely apologizing in front of Youzhi.

"So it wasn't raining when you came back?"

"We just got back a while ago."

"Holy shit! Then why didn't you get soaked? That's not fair! My shoes are soaked!"

"Yeah, it's not just unfair... Some people even say that it's just a show - come, compare and see how it feels!"

The sister-in-law pretended to whimper a few times, but when she found that Youzhi didn't move, her shoulders slumped and she completely gave in.

"I was wrong, I was wrong, okay? They really meant well - I was too mean! I was too mean to judge others!"

That is to say, even if Yu Zhi didn't poke my heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys here, my sister would have to think about how she was stubborn throughout the whole process in her dreams at night, and then give herself a slap.

The supermarket even gave away waterproof rainy day shoe covers!

After drying their clothes and hair, I wish they could go home quickly and not stay there crowded with people.
