Chapter 612: Yang Yun's Request

"These are the performance records for the Northeast shops. Later, in the Provincial Capital, Liu Yun and I opened three more. I had Qian Zhao draw up the renovation blueprints, used the same renovation crew as before, and discussed the agency fees with Qiu Hua."

There were photos attached, documenting the interior renovations and the neatly arranged clothing.

"I sent the staff to Beijing to be trained directly by the team there; I only feel at ease when it's your people doing the training," Liu Mei said with a chuckle.

It was Nan Nan who had given her a new path, allowing her to stay ahead of most people. From her initial trepidation to the later days of earning a fortune, she had the surplus energy to open multiple shops. Only by expanding shop by shop could she truly appreciate Nan Nan's painstaking efforts.

"Nan Nan, thank you for your initial trust." Liu Mei was very happy. It had been nearly ten years since she had unintentionally met this younger sister, and now they had reached where they were today.

An Yinan looked over the data and all the inventory; it could be said that for winter clothing, the majority of sales were in the Northeast.

"How is the management now? As more shops open, you need to pay more attention to management; some people will still try to exploit loopholes."

An Yinan inquired about the situation. Naturally, she hoped for more and more shops to open, but when it came to the balance between quantity and management control, she cared more about the management.

It was fine to open fewer shops, but the reputation could not be compromised; only then could it last long-term.

"Don't worry, I asked Guo Ge to find me two managers," Liu Mei laughed heartily, and seeing Nan Nan's stunned expression, she laughed even more happily.

An Yinan asked in confusion, "What's going on?"

Only then did Liu Mei explain in detail, "After all, it's far away, and I can't run back and forth every day. My children at home are still young and need to be taken care of."

"Someone at one of the shops there tried to play tricks on me, and after I discovered it and talked it over with Qiu Hua, the idea of finding professional management came to mind."

"I didn't know anyone else, so after consulting Qiu Hua, she gave me Guo Ge's number. I explained my intentions clearly, and I specifically stated that it would be best if they were disabled veterans."

"Later, Guo Ge introduced two people to me, one responsible for our County and one for the Provincial Capital. Now, I'm actually the most relaxed one, just counting money every day."

Liu Mei spread her hands; it must be said, that posture was truly a bit infuriating.

Yang Yun looked at Liu Mei's demeanor and became lost in thought, "Nan Nan, do you think I could also get a few people?"

Her life over the past year or so had been incredibly busy, and she wanted to prove herself in front of her brother, so all her energy had been focused on the shops. At the time, she had signed for seven shops, and later, after the market in Shanghai opened up, she opened five more. Shanghai alone had twelve shops, which could already be considered as covering the city.

Previously, the goods were in short supply, but later things gradually improved, and sales figures rose sharply.

But that also meant she was too busy.

Now, seeing Liu Mei's posture, she realized that everything she had learned had gone to waste.

Why hadn't she thought of hiring people to manage things?

"Well, veterans—either they've reached the age of retirement, or they've been discharged due to injury or illness; they all have some physical limitations." An Yinan stated this clearly first; she did not want those soldiers who had fought for the country to suffer the slightest grievance.

"You need to consider this carefully. Either you hire professional managers, or you must treat those veterans well. They bled and sweated for the country; I don't want to see them shed tears."

When An Yinan said these words, there was no smile on her face; her expression was solemn, but her eyes were full of firmness and allowed for no refusal.

Yang Yun was stunned; this girl who always wore a smile showed her firmness for the first time.
