Yan Siming saw Xiao Lingyu, who was wearing a beige dress and had long hair draped over her shoulders, standing by the side.
Yan Siming smiled faintly and walked over directly.
The sound of firecrackers was heard. After Gu Ziye and the other three put down the flower basket, they greeted Xiao Lingyu and congratulated her.
“Congratulations, Lingyu!” Gu Ziye and the other three smiled and said, “I wish you good luck in opening your shop and making a lot of money!”
Yuan Xuanhao looked at the three-story shop and sighed, “I didn’t expect that in less than a year, you went from a vegetable peddler who sold vegetables on a tricycle to a big boss who owned a few shops. Congratulations!”
Although they knew that Xiao Lingyu’s husband was rich, they knew that everything that Xiao Lingyu had now had nothing to do with her husband. Everything was her own hard work.
They remembered that she once pushed a tricycle to sell vegetables before dawn. She had once offended someone when she was selling vegetables on the tricycle. It was her wits that allowed her to escape. In short, she was a very smart and hardworking woman.
Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, “I have to thank all of you for your support and help. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have been able to open this supermarket so quickly.”
Her cooperation with Gu Ziye had given her the first start-up capital, and Yuan Xuanhao had helped her solve the transportation problem, Zheng Haiyang helped with the real estate, and Qian Yifan with the online stuff.
The four of them chatted with Xiao Lingyu for a while and then left.
They were all big bosses with their own businesses, so they didn’t have the time to stay.
Besides, it was the shop’s first day of business, and Xiao Lingyu must be very busy. They didn’t want to take up too much of her time.
They were new faces in City Z, so they didn’t attract much attention. But Yan Siming did notice them.
The bosses who came for cooperation immediately surrounded the general manager of the supermarket, Zeng Yaozu.
Boss Wen took out a business card and said to Zeng Yaozu with a smile, “President Zeng, congratulations.”
Zeng Yaozu looked at him with a puzzled look. “You are?”
Boss Wen handed the business card to him and said with a smile, “I am the general manager of Yijia Hotel, Wen Jinhui!”
“Hello, President Zeng. Congratulations on the opening. I am the owner of Milan Hotel, Liu Bing. This is my business card!”
“President Zeng, I’m…”
The bosses and general managers surrounding Zeng Yaozu all started to introduce themselves.
Naturally, Boss Pang did not want to be left behind.
However, he was smart. He had been paying attention to Yan Siming’s movements. Yan Siming was friends with the boss of this supermarket. Since he was here, he would definitely go up and congratulate the boss.
Before this, everyone thought that Zeng Yaozu was the boss of the supermarket.
However, Boss Pang noticed that from the moment Yan Siming got out of the car, his gaze didn’t focus on Zeng Yaozu. What did this mean? Boss Pang guessed that Yan Siming was not familiar with Zeng Yaozu.
On the contrary, Yan Siming kept looking at a woman standing next to Zeng Yaozu.
That woman had long hair draped over her shoulders, a tall figure, and a beautiful face.
Boss Pang suddenly thought of something he had heard before.
Zeng Family’s vegetable store had been slandered by people from the same industry, but after the person in charge of Green Fresh arrived, the matter was settled in a few words. The person in charge was apparently a very beautiful woman. The woman Yan Siming was looking at was indeed very beautiful.
While the others surrounded Zeng Yaozu, Boss Pang had his people leave the flower basket by the door. Then, he walked up to Xiao Lingyu and said with a smile, “Miss, I’m looking for the General Manager’s Office. May I know how to get there?”
Xiao Lingyu blinked and raised her eyebrows slightly. She asked with a smile, “Sir, are you asking how to get to the General Manager’s Office?”
Boss Pang nodded and said, “Yes. I’m Pang Bo from Friendship Hotel.” When he said this, he deliberately took out a business card and showed it to Xiao Lingyu. Then, he continued with a smile, “I came here to talk to Boss Zeng for cooperation. However, too many people are surrounding him. I thought I would wait for him in the general manager’s office first.”
Xiao Lingyu studied Pang Bo, and she quickly determined that he had already guessed her identity.
She smiled and said, “The general manager’s office is on the second floor. Let me take you there.”
At that moment, Yan Siming walked over. “Brother Yan!” Xiao Lingyu asked with some confusion, “Why are you here?”
Yan Siming said with some displeasure, “Your supermarket’s opening is such a big event. Of course, I have to come over and send a few flower baskets to celebrate. Congratulations, Lingyu!”
Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, “Thank you!”
Pang Bo was shocked.
He had guessed that Yan Siming and the supermarket owner were friends, but he didn’t expect that they were so close.
At the same time, he was secretly glad that he had correctly guessed the identity of this woman.
Pang Bo’s eyes lit up. When he asked her the location of the general manager’s office, she didn’t reject him. It meant that there was hope for cooperation. Pang Bo’s mood immediately brightened up.
…
There was a kind of person who would attract attention wherever he went.
When Yan Siming walked over from the parking lot, he naturally attracted the attention of these bosses. When Yan Siming walked into the shop, these bosses were excited. They stopped caring about Zeng Yaozu.
After all, the most powerful man in City Z was right in front of them. They would be dumb to still focus on Zeng Yaozu when Yan Siming was there. If their hotel had Yan Siming’s support, they didn’t need the vegetables from this supermarket anymore. They would be able to sit there and enjoy the money rolling in all day.
“Chairman Yan!”
“Chairman Yan, Hello, I’m Yue Lai…” A man with a big belly blocked in front of Yan Siming.
“Move!” Yan Siming frowned slightly, and his voice was cold.
The boss of Yue Lai Hotel immediately broke out in cold sweat and quickly moved aside. He even bowed his head and apologized.
In the entire business circle, everyone knew that Yan Siming could not be offended. This was because he had always taken revenge for the smallest grievance and was very narrow-minded.
The boss of Yue Lai Hotel was scared and immediately escaped from the scene.
The other bosses were held back as well. They had to think twice. They greeted Yan Siming and stayed a polite distance away. They didn’t dare to make any sound.
Then, they saw a scene that surprised them. Yan Siming greeted the very beautiful woman who was standing on the side.
From their conversation, they could surmise that this beautiful woman was the real owner of this supermarket.
The managers looked at Boss Zeng, but Boss Zeng wasn’t there anymore.
Then again, Zeng Yaozu had been meaning to leave, but he wasn’t able to earlier because he was surrounded. Once the bosses abandoned him to talk to Yan Siming, Zeng Yaozu quickly escaped.
After all, it was the supermarket’s first-day opening. He had many things to do.
These bosses felt like they had missed out on many things. They regretted it. The bosses didn’t go to look for Zeng Yaozu. Now that they knew who the general manager and the boss were, they could come back anytime.
But something still didn’t seem quite right.
They were shocked that the supermarket boss had the backing of Yan Siming, the chairman of the Yan Group. Once this news was exposed, no one would dare to touch this supermarket anymore…
Of course, these bosses knew the kind of attitude to have when approaching the boss.
The bosses looked at Xiao Lingyu and Yan Siming.
Suspicion arose in their hearts. Did Chairman Yan only have a platonic friendship with this woman? Could she be Chairman Yan’s girlfriend?
