Chapter 511: The Growth of Wu Xia (Revised)

In the collective Xiao Yuan.

"Qian Zhao has already returned, should we let him go to Shanghai?" Zhao Qiu Hua came over to ask.

An Yinan looked at Qiu Hua, "Sister, are you perhaps not wanting to get married?"

Qian Zhao had just returned, and Qiu Hua was already preparing to send him away. Previously, she had felt sorry for Qiu Hua, but now it seemed she had reason to suspect that Qiu Hua might not want to get married.

"An Yinan, you're just relying on your pregnancy to act up," Zhao Qiu Hua said helplessly.

Who was she doing this for?

An Yinan quickly raised her hands in surrender. Although she had the upper hand now, once she gave birth, given Qiu Hua's temperament, she would definitely come to settle the score.

"Has the date for your wedding been set?" An Yinan asked seriously.

Zhao Qiu Hua shook her head, "We have everything, and the marriage certificate is already registered; we're just missing the wedding banquet, but there's never enough time."

Before, they said they were going to get married, but then they went to the Frontline battlefield.

Later, they said they were going to get married, but then they were kept in the Northeast.

Now, they need to go to Shanghai, and eight shops are not something that can be finished in a month or two.

"What about Qian Zhao?" An Yinan asked.

"He went to the school to explain the situation. Since the school approved it previously, he has to go and clarify things."

An Yinan thought for a moment, "When Qian Zhao comes back, bring him over together."

Regarding Shanghai, she actually had other ideas, but Qian Zhao did indeed need to leave Beijing.

"By the way, have your parents set off to come to Beijing."

"If you've registered the marriage but don't hold a banquet, I'm afraid that if this drags on, Qian Zhao will hate me," An Yinan said, blinking her eyes with a weak and pitiful look.

Zhao Qiu Hua saw her appearance; now that she was pregnant, why was she so mischievous?

Was she the one carrying a child, or had she become a child herself?

"Then who is going to Shanghai?" Zhao Qiu Hua didn't talk to her about anything else; she couldn't afford to provoke her right now!

"Shanghai? I have someone to recommend, but let's wait until Qian Zhao returns to discuss it," An Yinan blinked.

Zhao Qiu Hua rolled her eyes helplessly and then returned to their collective Xiao Yuan; she would be angered to death by this person sooner or later.

In the evening, everyone gathered in the courtyard.

An Yinan's place had more privacy, so everyone didn't come over, but instead had Li Xiue call her over.

"Everyone is quite here," An Yinan remarked.

Except for Xie Shuyang, who had already joined the project, everyone had gathered here.

An Yinan looked at Qian Zhao, "Is the renovation over there finished?"

Qian Zhao nodded, "Everything over there is finished. As for some of the furnishings in the shop and the production methods for some clothing racks, I have already communicated with the craftsmen there, and there are finished products left for Liu Meijie."

"Once the renovation is completely finished, Liu Meijie might contact you."

An Yinan nodded and wrote some things down in her notebook.

"There's one thing: the group of renovation workers you found before, how is their character?" An Yinan asked Qian Zhao.

From the moment they decided to open the shops, Qian Zhao was responsible for everything related to renovations.

An Yinan paid them wages, and Qian Zhao also particularly loved architecture.

"Lao Yao and the others? Their character is quite good. Before they met us, they couldn't even afford to eat. Later, after they renovated our shops, as well as your few courtyards, they have quite a few people now and have already formed a team."

"Nan Nan, why did you suddenly ask about them?" Qian Zhao introduced the situation truthfully. For so many years, he had always been in contact with them, and in this regard, they had helped him a lot.

"There are eight shops in Shanghai that have become agents, and we need to send people over to renovate the shops."

"Your and Qiu Hua's matter cannot be dragged on any longer. I want to talk to the person leading the team to see if they want to go over and take this job," An Yinan said.

Zhao Qiu Hua glanced at An Yinan, not expecting that this was the plan she had in mind.

"I'll go ask Lao Yao," Qian Zhao nodded, looking at Zhao Qiu Hua with a fiery gaze.

An Yinan recorded some things. Recently, with the pregnancy, her memory wasn't very good. Every day, besides wanting to sleep, she just wanted to sleep, as if she were making up for all the sleep she missed after transmigrating all at once.

"There is one more thing. I bought land in Yangcheng and need to build a factory and dormitory buildings," An Yinan said, looking at Qian Zhao before she finished her sentence.

Qian Zhao pointed at himself and quickly shook his head, "I can't do it."

He already had experience renovating a shop front and could handle it with ease, but that was a factory.

He had heard Qiu Hua mention before that the piece of land was so large he couldn't see the end of it, and he should go?

Don't joke!

"I'm not asking you to be in charge; you just go and follow along, but there's no salary!" An Yinan smiled.

Qian Zhao's eyes were filled with a great deal of surprise, "I don't want a salary."

That was following a project!

For such a large factory, the things he would learn by following through would be more than what he could learn in school for a year or two.

Moreover, he already knew the theoretical knowledge.

The Tutor had said that what they lacked was a large amount of practical experience.

A factory, along with dormitory buildings—neither was something he, a student who had just graduated, could imagine.

"Thank you," Qian Zhao said to An Yinan.

An Yinan waved her hand, "It's nothing. Your wife is in my hands, so I'm not afraid of you running away."

Zhao Qiu Hua was just about to reach out to deal with her when she saw her touch her own belly. That flat, level belly—where was the appearance of a pregnant woman?

Her outstretched hand was silently put back down.

"An Yinan! You just wait." Zhao Qiu Hua, with her fiery temper, could only hold it in.

Qian Zhao patted her back, signaling her not to be angry.

An Yinan, however, watched with a smile, looking like, "I'm just being mischievous, what can you do about it?"

"Li Xiu'e, tell me about the recent situation at the shops," An Yinan said to Li Xiue.

During the time she and Qiu Hua were away, the shops in Beijing were all looked after by Li Xiu'e.

"This is the daily turnover, this is the profit, and these are the dividends. Since you are both in Beijing, I was preparing to distribute the dividends," Li Xiue said.

She knew that Nan Nan was in urgent need of money, and since the shops had a high turnover now, it wasn't safe to keep it all in storage.

"Then let's distribute them tomorrow," An Yinan didn't stand on ceremony; after all, the amount of money she needed was not small.

"By the way, the agency fees from Shanghai have already arrived, but I don't intend to touch this money; our shops in Beijing are preparing to expand."

"How is the training of the staff going over at Wu Xia's side?" For the past few days, she had done nothing but eat and sleep, and hadn't been to the shops at all.

"Thirty people have been trained, and they are currently interning and on trial at various shops every day; they have no problems handling the work now," Li Xiue said.

"Furthermore, Wu Xia specifically selected a few people to serve as managers for each storefront. She took a portion of her own commission to increase the pay for those managers. Later on, she will manage the managers, and the managers will manage the staff. She will also go to the shops at irregular intervals every day to check on the situation." Speaking of Wu Xia's way of thinking, she found that it seemed to be another An Yinan.

An Yinan was somewhat surprised by her growth.

When she first met this girl, she had just turned eighteen, right?

Now her mindset has undergone a comprehensive change; it is the mindset of a manager, rather than just working herself to death alone. She only needs to ensure supervision.
