A few days hadn't passed, and Sha Bao Yu could no longer recognize Zhao Rui Long.
He was covered in dust, carrying a briefcase, his face was dark, and his shoes were covered in mud, a perfect image of a township entrepreneur.
"Rui Long, what's going on...? "
Was this the same Jingzhou's number one young master, the spoiled son of a wealthy family?
"Brother-in-law, our department store will open in two days. For stocking up on goods, I can't even care about my appearance."
Facing Sha Bao Yu's puzzled expression, Zhao Rui Long was instead beaming with excitement and seemed quite proud.
This period of time was a valuable life experience for him.
Setting aside his background, he had managed to fully stock up on the necessary items for a department store opening in such a short time, relying entirely on his own abilities.
This success, built upon his own capabilities, was undoubtedly the greatest affirmation for him.
He was calm and reserved, without the deliberate arrogance he used to project, he now exuded a confidence that came from within... .
This Zhao Rui Long felt extremely unfamiliar.
Sha Bao Yu patted Zhao Rui Long's shoulder in comfort, feeling a strange sense of having changed someone's fate.
"Rui Long, you've worked hard."
"It's nothing. My old man now sees me favorably, he's afraid I'm working too hard and makes me soup every night."
Nowadays, Zhao Rui Long had finally gained some respect in the Zhao family.
Compared to his more outstanding sister, Zhao Xiao Hui, he had always been subjected to Zhao Li Chun's tough love.
No matter what he did, he would be criticized.
This educational method completely destroyed his self-confidence.
This time, in order to prevent Sha Bao Yu, who believed in him, from being disappointed, Zhao Rui Long had put in 120% effort to stock up for the department store's opening.
Zhao Li Chun immediately sensed his son's unusual behavior.
After observing him for a few days, he realized that it wasn't just a three-minute fad and felt quite happy.
However, like any ordinary person, Zhao Li Chun was both afraid that his son wouldn't amount to anything and that he was working too hard.
He felt heartbroken seeing his son going out early and coming back late every day, looking unkempt and untidy.
He diligently prepared a bowl of chicken soup every single day.
...
"I didn't know that Secretary Li Chun actually has such culinary skills."
Putting aside his identity as the third-in-command of Han Dong Province, Zhao Li Chun was just a father who wanted his son to succeed.
"My dad's chicken soup is really delicious, Brother-in-law. If you have time, come over to our place to try it."
Go to their place...?
Face another father-in-law?
Brother-in-law Sha Bao Yu was actually a bit timid.
"I will, I will."
Sha Bao Yu quickly changed the topic.
"The opening is three days away. What will we name this department store?"
"Brother-in-law, this department store is yours, you should be the one to name it."
"I forgot to tell you something, this department store is half yours and half your sister's, you are the boss of this department store."
The department store was just a side project for him, he was actually doing this to give Zhao Rui Long, who was a bit of a slacker, something to do.
"It's mine and my sister's?"
"Then I'll have to give it some thought."
This was his brainchild, he had watched this department store from the renovation stage to its current size, and his feelings were quite complex.
After pondering for a long time, Zhao Rui Long clapped his hands and suddenly had an idea.
"Shanshui, Shanshui has a reunion, and the future is still to be expected."
"Shanshui Department Store, Brother-in-law, what do you think of this name?"
...
What else could Sha Bao Yu say? It seemed like it was destined to be.
This kid Zhao Rui Long was destined to be associated with the words "Shanshui."
However, compared to the original world, this world's Shanshui Group might actually become the leader of Longguo's retail industry in the future.
When Sha Bao Yu followed Zhao Rui Long to the entrance of the Shanshui Department Store, passersby kept looking inside with curious eyes.
Located in Xin Jie Kou, which had the highest pedestrian traffic in Jingzhou, the Central Building that was constantly under renovation had already aroused the curiosity of many citizens in Jingzhou.
"Brother-in-law, you wouldn't believe how funny this is, many people have been asking what we're doing here."
It's human nature to be like this, they like to be entertained, they love to watch the excitement.
The more people there are, the more people it attracts.
If Shanshui Department Store wants to be a hit overnight, this level of attention is definitely not enough.
"Rui Long, there are still three days left. Buy out all the commercial sections of the newspapers in Jingzhou and use them all to advertise for the Shanshui Department Store.
In short, I want everyone in Jingzhou to know that the Shanshui Department Store will be opening in three days."
《Jingzhou Daily》, 《Jingzhou Morning News》, 《Modern Express》, 《Yangtze Express》...
The ways to get information in this era were quite limited.
Newspapers were the most direct advertising tool.
For three whole days, the commercial sections of all newspapers would only have one advertisement.
"Shanshui Department Store, grand opening soon, welcome your visit."
The Shanshui Department Store became the focus of discussion for everyone in Jingzhou.
