I Became the Male Lead's Stepmother After Transmigrating Novel - Chapter 62

Chapter 62: The First Batch of Customers of the Convenience Store

The convenience store was meant to be convenient. It was small but had all the necessities, including daily necessities, snacks, and even family planning supplies.

Although Xu Xiyao was an adult, he was still a child in Xiang Xiaoyuan’s heart. She arranged for Xu Xiyao to tidy up somewhere else while she sat in front of the cash register to place the condoms. In her free time, she would also check on Xu Xiyao’s work progress.

Xu Xiyao was not a shy person, and he was very serious in his work. He looked thin and strong, but he was also full of energy. One person was more than enough for two people. Seeing that he was busy and did not complain at all, and that he did not need anyone to teach him some complicated things, she felt that the three-day trial period was redundant. This person could be promoted directly!

Soon, the convenience store welcomed its first batch of customers.

The people who came in were a few white-haired and kind-looking old ladies. They were sweet-natured and outgoing. Occasionally, she would chat with them when they met in the villa area. Previously, the old ladies had said that they would come to support the convenience store when it opened. She did not expect that they would support the convenience store to such an extent.

Xiang Yuan glanced at the clock on the wall. It was not even 7:30 when these elders came to visit the convenience store together. She quickly went up to greet them and said warmly, “Grandma Chen, you guys are early.”

“You child, the store has just opened. We have to come over to warm up the place for you. People say that the opening day is the most important.” Grandma Chen was almost 80 years old, but her body was very strong. She dressed herself up beautifully every day to play cards with her friends or go to a senior university to study. Her life was very rich and enjoyable.

When she accidentally met Xiang Xiaoyuan in the villa, she felt that she had a special affinity to her. She was very driven like she was when she was young, so she liked Xiang Xiaoyuan. At this time, she was holding Xiang Xiaoyuan’s hand and talking, she glanced at Xu Xiyao who was standing at the side from the corner of her eyes. She moved closer and looked him up and down carefully.

Xiang Xiaoyuan knew that Grandma Chen also had a soft spot for good-looking people. Whenever she saw good-looking girls and boys, she could not help but take a few more glances at them. Her passionate gaze made Xu Xiyao very embarrassed. When he turned his face away, Grandma Chen said with a smile, “Xiaoyuan, what do you think children nowadays eat? Why do they look better? This is your new employee, right? He looks about the same age as your Lu Bei.”

“Yes, a shop assistant who works part-time and studies part-time. He’s one year older than Lu Bei and just turned 18 this year.” Xiang Xiaoyuan was also smiling.

Xu Xiyao, who was checking the cashier system, paused. Lu Bei? There was also a classmate in his class named Lu Bei. How could there be such a coincidence in this world? Or did the boss in front of him have something to do with Lu Bei?

He could not help but look at Xiang Xiaoyuan, who was chatting passionately with the old ladies. She was very good-looking and very young. Could it be that his new boss was Lu Bei’s sister?

The old ladies pulled Xiang Xiaoyuan away and chatted for a while before they stopped talking. Everyone went to the shelves to buy a lot of things. When they looked at Xiang Xiaoyuan, they almost emptied her entire shelf!

The old ladies were too awesome!

Xu Xiyao methodically scanned the code and collected the money. The first profit in the morning was recorded in the account, and the total was over a thousand! Those who could live in Repulse Bay Villa were not short of money. Since the old ladies were here to support her, they would not be too stingy with their money.

Xiang Xiaoyuan sent them to the door. Grandma Chen held her hand and sighed, “You are such a blessed child. The shop assistant you found may be young, but he looks like a steady person. You can rest assured that you can let him manage the shop in the future.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan was amused. “Grandma Chen, can you tell fortunes?”

“Of course. I know everything.”

“Haha, then please tell me when I will make a fortune.”

“Look at you. Your eyes are clear, your lips are red, your teeth are white, and your complexion is excellent. As long as you manage your business well, you will definitely have good fortune. In the future, you will be moving up in life.”

“Really?”

Everyone loved to hear good words, and Xiang Xiaoyuan was no exception. She sent Grandma Chen and the others off with great enthusiasm.

As the sun gradually rose, the temperature outside also rose. Business in Yuan Wei convenience store was even better than Xiang Xiaoyuan had predicted. The customers came in waves.

Every time she heard the sound of Xu Xiyao sweeping the bar code and collecting money, she felt that this was the most beautiful sound in the world.

…

At eight in the morning, Lu Bei, who usually only got up in the afternoon, woke up early for a rare occasion.

He went downstairs to the kitchen to pour water, and Butler Liu happened to walk in. He pretended to be casual and asked, “Uncle Liu, what’s for breakfast?”

Butler Liu: “Madam woke up early today. The kitchen prepared Chinese breakfast such as Xiaolongbao and soybean milk. Young master, if you want to have western breakfast, I’ll ask the chef to prepare it?”

“She left so early?” Lu Bei pointed to the clock hanging on the wall.
