Chapter 2425

Zhou Andong took the design drawings. There were over a dozen styles of long shirts with mandarin collars, some with high mandarin collars, some with low ones, some with long sleeves, some with three-quarter sleeves, and some with batwing sleeves. All used frog buttons, with both double and single frog buttons. The colors were the same as the horse-face skirts: black, white, cyan, and red. The embroidery was the same, featuring dragons, phoenixes, flowers, and grass.

"Not bad!" Zhou Andong nodded very satisfactorily and handed the design drawings back to Zheng Weihong: "Keep them safe, I'll take them tomorrow morning."

Zheng Weihong took the drawings, then returned to the workbench, put them together with the horse-face skirt design drawings, and put them into a file bag.

Zhou Andong said with a smile: "Alright, you all tidy up. If you need to change clothes, hurry up and change; if you need to dress up, hurry up and dress up. We are going to eat right away."

"Long live Big Brother!" Mu Yun cheered, shoved Su Su into Zhou Andong's arms, turned around, and ran out.

"Let's go, we're going to change clothes too!" Zhou Anqin greeted Zheng Weihong and the others, and they left the study one after another.

Zhou Andong held Su Su and sat on the sofa, then grabbed the phone and dialed Tang Bei's office, but no one answered. Then he dialed his uncle Zhou Xiaoli's office phone, and this time it was answered quickly.

"Hello, who is this?"

"Uncle, it's Dongzi!" Zhou Andong asked, "Is General Manager Tang at Grand-Mart?"

"Dongzi!" Zhou Xiaoli said, "General Manager Tang has been very busy during this period. She is almost never at Grand-Mart during the day, occasionally coming over in the evening to take a look, hold a meeting, and give instructions."

Zhou Andong knew that Tang Bei must be busy with the supply and marketing cooperative. The adjustments after the acquisition, handling creditor's rights and debts, background checks and assessments of management, and training and assessment of employees.

There is also the integration of stores, warehousing, logistics, and channels, etc., which cannot be completed in half a year. Because the scale of the supply and marketing cooperative is too large, coupled with the various problems that existed before, it is also very complicated, and it is certainly not easy to handle.

Zhou Andong looked at the time; it was already five o'clock: "In a while, Xiaoqin, Wang Hui, and I are going to eat barbecue at Datang Barbecue in Dashilan. You go to the mall to see if General Manager Tang is there. If you find her, tell her to come over too; if you don't find her, then forget it."

"Okay, I'll go take a look now." Zhou Xiaoli hung up the phone.

Zhou Andong put down the phone, looked at Su Su sitting obediently in his arms, and couldn't help but kiss her on her little cheek.

"Su Su, Daddy is going to eat barbecue, are you going?"

"I want to eat meat!" Su Su's eyes lit up as soon as she heard about eating meat, her little arms hugging her daddy's neck tightly, very afraid of being left behind.

Zhou Andong laughed, held Su Su and left the study, then put the little girl on the ground: "You are going to eat barbecue with Daddy, go tell Mommy first, so Mommy doesn't worry about you."

The little girl nodded and ran toward the back with her short legs.

Old Four had just come out after telling on him to her sister-in-law when she saw Old Four running over: "Su Su, what are you running for?"

"I'm going to eat meat with Daddy." Su Su didn't stop her running pace, running past Old Four.

"Eat meat?" Old Four turned around and chased after her, grabbing Su Su: "Eat what meat?"

Su Su blinked her big eyes: "Just eating meat."

Seeing that she couldn't get anything out of her, Old Four quickly changed the subject: "Then what are you going to do now?"

Su Su remembered this and said crisply: "Tell Mommy, I'm going to eat meat with Daddy."

Old Four rolled her eyes: "Let's go, Auntie will take you."

At this time, Zhou Andong carried the large bag of ice cream from the study to the dining room. The fragrance of stir-fried dishes drifted out from inside, making him unable to help but take a deep breath.

"Sister Liu!"

Sister Liu was peeling garlic by the kitchen door and only looked up when she heard the voice. Seeing it was Zhou Andong, she hurriedly stood up: "Chairman!"

Zhou Andong handed the bag containing the ice cream to Sister Liu: "You can distribute this ice cream to everyone."

"Okay!" Sister Liu took the bag: "By the way, my sister-in-law arrived at noon today."

Zhou Andong was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted. He wanted to find a nanny to take care of the child, and the one Sister Liu introduced was her sister-in-law.

"I haven't been to the back yet." Zhou Andong smiled and nodded: "It's good that she's here!"

Soon, Zhou Anqin and Mu Yun and the others came, each wearing a bit of light makeup, dressed up beautifully, but also revealing their youthful vitality to the fullest: "Brother, we are all ready, let's go!"

"Wait for Old Four and Su Su." Zhou Andong took a cigarette out of his pocket and lit it. He let Su Su go tell her mother, which was actually to tell Old Four that they were going to eat barbecue.

As soon as his voice fell, he saw Old Four holding Su Su's little hand and running over: "Big Brother, we're here."

Zhou Andong said to Old Four with a straight face: "I said I was taking Su Su to eat barbecue, I didn't say I was taking you."

"You think I want to go with you?" Old Four hummed arrogantly: "It's my sister-in-law who insisted I go. She said you're a big man, careless, and what if you lose Su Su, so she asked me to keep an eye on Su Su."

After saying this, Old Four pulled Su Su, held her head high and chest out, and said: "Let's go!"

"Sigh!" Zhou Andong sighed and followed behind Old Four and Su Su as they walked forward.

Zheng Weihong chuckled: "Anqin, Ningning is too cute."

Zhou Anqin said helplessly: "Cute? You haven't seen her when she's infuriating; she can make you die of anger."

Wang Hui was already waiting at the gate, and seeing Zhou Andong come out, she said with a smile: "Chairman, shall we go now?"

"Let's go now." Zhou Andong said to Mu Yun and the others: "You take General Manager Huang's car, Xiaoqin, you sit in my car."

"Okay!" Huang Liming agreed, and then several people got into Wang Hui's car, which was a Toyota Camry introduced last year.

Zhou Andong turned around and saw that Old Four and Su Su had already climbed into the car, and then he opened the front passenger door: "Xiaoqin, you sit in the back and watch the two of them."

Zhou Anqin agreed, and after getting into the car, she picked up Su Su and put her on her lap: "Come, let Big Aunt dote on you."

Grand-Mart in the capital is now known to everyone; its influence is staggering. Even without holding any promotional activities, customers flock to Grand-Mart every day, and many even take two or three hours of bus or subway to shop here.

If you pay a little attention, you will find that a considerable portion of these customers are not locals, but tourists from all over the country. They travel thousands of miles to the capital, and besides visiting scenic spots and tasting local delicacies, shopping at Grand-Mart has become an essential part of their itinerary.

Once upon a time, the Wang Fujing Department Store was the must-visit shopping mecca for tourists coming to the capital, but times have changed, and now Grand-Mart has successfully replaced the status of Wang Fujing Department Store, becoming the new favorite of tourists.

It is no exaggeration to say that Grand-Mart is now more than just an ordinary shopping center; it is more like a popular tourist attraction, attracting countless tourists from other places to flock here.

Some tour groups will even specifically include Grand-Mart in their itinerary, organizing tourists to come and experience shopping. This phenomenon was unimaginable in the past, but now it has become the norm. The rise of Grand-Mart has not only changed the commercial landscape of the capital but also brought a brand-new shopping experience to tourists from other places.

The retractable gate for Grand-Mart's incoming and outgoing goods slowly opened, and Tang Bei's BMW drove into the courtyard and stopped under the office building.

Zhou Anwen pushed open the car door and got out. The girl had short hair, wore a white short-sleeved shirt on top, black trousers on the bottom, and small leather shoes with medium-high heels. She was dressed like an elite white-collar worker, and the whole person looked very energetic and capable.

"Dad, where are you going in such a hurry?"

As soon as Zhou Anwen got out of the car, she saw Zhou Xiaoli coming out in a hurry.

At this time, Tang Bei also got out of the car, and then slammed the car door shut with a "bang."

"General Manager Tang!" Zhou Xiaoli said with a smile: "I was just about to go to the mall to see if you were there."

Tang Bei asked curiously: "What's the matter?"

Zhou Xiaoli said: "Dongzi just called me and said he and Xiaoqin are going to eat barbecue in Dashilan, and asked you to come over too."

"Getting the boss to treat you to a meal is not easy." Tang Bei laughed: "Even if I've already eaten, I have to go eat some more."

After saying this, Tang Bei greeted Zhou Anwen: "Xiaowen, get in the car. Your brother is treating you. If you miss this opportunity, it's hard to say if there will be another one."
