Chapter 138 Getting on the Right Track 3
The ground floor is used as a shop for a flower shop.
The second floor serves as the living room, activity and fitness area, art studio, kitchen, and dining room.
The third floor has a small living room and two bedrooms.
Both bedrooms have ensuite bathrooms, face the sea, and each has a separate balcony.
Standing on the balcony, looking out, the sea is azure, the sun is shining brightly, and a gentle breeze is blowing – the scenery is superb.
Ziyue lives in the slightly larger master bedroom.
The house was simply renovated, with a minimalist style, mainly in off-white and light green.
It's 10 a.m. Ziyue is wearing a white long-sleeved knit dress with a ruffled collar and a fitted waist that shows off her slender figure. She's also wearing white sneakers that reveal her delicate ankles.
Although it's already mid-November, the city is spring-like all year round and not cold at all.
There is a security door at the bottom of the stairs from the second floor to the first floor. For safety reasons, in addition to locking the door of the flower shop on the first floor, this door on the second floor is also locked at night.
The space under the stairs from the first floor to the second floor was not wasted; it was renovated into two bathrooms.
Opening the security door on the second floor, a clear floral fragrance immediately wafts out, as if entering a world of flowers.
Go down to the first floor, the flower shop opens at 10 a.m., and it has only been open for a short while.
The little girl downstairs at the cashier's counter saw Ziyue coming down the stairs and her eyes lit up instantly: "Sister Yueyue, you're up!"
The proprietress looks absolutely stunning today!
Oh my god, the proprietress is so beautiful!!
She thought even female celebrities in the entertainment industry weren't as pretty as the boss's wife!
……
The girl who greeted Ziyue is named Li Pingping. She is 19 years old this year. She dropped out of school after finishing junior high school and started working. Her family is not well-off. She is petite, but lively, optimistic and cheerful.
These are the employees hired by Ziyue's shop.
There is also a 30-year-old woman named Wei Meiling, a local resident who lives not far from the flower shop.
She is very experienced in floral design. She comes to the shop to open before 10 a.m. every day, and at that time she is watering some plants.
Hearing Li Pingping's greeting, Ziyue looked up and greeted her with a smile.
There was also a 37-year-old man named Li Yuan.
Ziyue bought a van specifically for flower delivery, and Brother Li Yuan was responsible for delivering the ordered flowers to nearby customers. When there were no orders, he would help with loading and unloading at the store.
"Yes, thank you for your hard work. Pingping and Sister Ling, good morning too." Ziyue walked to the front desk. "Have you eaten yet?"
"Yes, I've eaten. Yueyue, are you going out?"
During her time at work, Li Pingping had gotten to know her boss somewhat. She knew that her boss usually got up quite late, and if he was going out at this hour, it meant he was probably getting ready to go out for food.
"Okay, then you and Sister Ling get back to work. I'll head out now."
Li Pingping nodded.
Actually, this store has two entrances, one in the front and one in the back, and basically every store is like that.
After all, one side is the street and the other side is the sea in the distance. Opening two doors can serve customers on both sides, which is more convenient.
Ziyue went out through the main gate. The street outside was bustling with activity. She planned to walk the entire street, and was still thinking about what delicious food to eat today.
After leaving the flower shop, Ziyue walked in the other direction.
This flower shop has a pretty good location. It's at one end of this commercial street, and if you walk to the other end, you'll find all sorts of snack shops, specialty shops, beverage shops, restaurants, and more...
Her shop is in a relatively quiet location, making it convenient to go anywhere.
There is a main road on the side of the shop. After leaving the flower shop, you can go directly to the next few streets by crossing the road on the side.
There are shops selling local specialties, as well as bars, pubs, bookstores, and cafes...
There are also some guesthouses, hotels, and even high-end star-rated hotels.
These kinds of shops usually need some fresh flowers and plants for decoration.
Since Ziyue's flower shop opened, it has received a lot of orders from homestays, hotels, guesthouses and upscale restaurants because of the high quality of her flowers and plants.
Ziyue strolled leisurely along the street, enjoying the scenery as she went.
The buildings and decorations on this street have a somewhat antique charm.
At this time, there were already quite a few tourists on the street.
Ziyue looked at the small shops along the roadside, including swimwear shops, specialty shops, jewelry shops, restaurants, beverage shops, and so on.
She found a breakfast shop that was still open, though it wasn't very big.
She ordered a basket of steamed dumplings, a serving of soup dumplings, a boiled egg, a bowl of sweet tofu pudding, and a side dish that was complimentary.
Soon, the proprietress brought out all the food she had ordered, and Ziyue began to leisurely enjoy her brunch.
Hmm, this place's tofu pudding is pretty good. The texture is delicate, soft and smooth, and the taste is rich and creamy, as sweet and delicious as honey. I can come here more often in the future, and I can also pack some to take away.
This is her personal habit; whenever she comes across something delicious, she likes to pack some extra and store it in her virtual space.
You can never have too much of your favorite food.
After finishing her brunch, Ziyue continued walking, at least to walk the whole street, since she had nothing else to do anyway.
Walking slowly with the crowd, watching all sorts of tourists who had come here, and seeing their smiling and excited faces, Ziyue was infected by their joy and her mood improved greatly.
After exploring the entire street, we prepared to head home.
I also bought some dried fruit and three drinks from a roadside vendor.
Back at the flower shop, I placed the items I bought on the small round table next to the cashier.
There were no customers in the shop at that time. Yang Meiling was pruning the flower branches, and Li Pingping was helping her.
"I brought you drinks and some dried fruit. You can have some if you're free. Is Brother Yuan out delivering goods and hasn't come back yet?"
"Wow, thank you, Sister Yueyue, the boss is so kind. Yes, yes, Brother Yuan has gone out to deliver goods."
Pingping held a drink, thanked them, and inserted a straw into the cup.
Meiling also came over and looked at Ziyue with a smile, "Boss, you've gone to so much trouble again, thank you, boss."
"You're welcome. Pingping, remember to give the last cup to Brother Yuan when he gets back. You guys go ahead with your work, I'll go upstairs now."
The flower shop has been operating for two months and everything is on track.
Now Ziyue doesn't need to worry about anything anymore, and she's happy to be a couch potato.
Treat this place like a vacation paradise.
"Ding—Side Quest: Please help increase the flower shop's brand awareness. Once the brand awareness reaches 100 million visits, you will receive 300 points. Good luck, host!"
Upon hearing this unexpected side quest, Ziyue paused in her stretching, then continued to slack off as if nothing had happened.
Hmm, I didn't hear it, I didn't hear it...
Seeing its host giving up, what could Little Jiu do? Of course, whatever the host does is fine!
The host may be a lazy bum, but the system is no less so!
Of course, Ziyue eventually accepted the task.
Anyway, accepting it is one thing, we'll take it one step at a time. If we succeed, great; if we fail, there will be no punishment and it won't affect her at all.
Moreover, there was no time limit for this task, so she wasn't in a hurry.
