Chapter 169: Chapter 169: Visit to Natural Grocery
Zhang Yong send them back to the hotels, the children is a bit tired so they were a bit quiet. Zhang Yong, Zhou Zhu Yao and Bai Yi Yang chat along the way.
"That Mr.Lin doesn't seems ordinary." Bai Yi Yang said to Zhang Yong.
Natalie's husband is very quiet, but Bai Yi Yang noticed that Zhang Yong is very polite with him. Zhang Yong family is not a small name in City Nan, even when they enter the café last night, many people gave Zhang Yong face. But Zhang Yong still need to give Mr.Lin some face.
"Yes, you are right. He is from the Dongfang family, my family is still very small compared to Dongfang family." Zhang Yong said.
"I never heard of Dongfang family before. Who are them?" Bai Yi Yang ask. She is not that ignorant, since becoming acquaintances with Zhang Yong and Old man Cui, she also knows a few big names in City Nan, but she haven't heard of Dongfang family.
"Dongfang family is based in City Zhou. They are basically the royals of City Zhou. Mr.Lin developed in City Nan, his family are one of the main branch of Dongfang family in City Zhou, they have the support from there." Zhang Yong said.
"Oh, then Old man Cui's eldest granddaughter married a strong family." Bai Yi Yang said.
"En. That's also one of the reason that nobody dare to make trouble with Cui family. Mr.Lin cherish his wife, he is a strong supporter of the Cui family. He is also very capable one, he and Madam Natalie is a good match. Being able to meet him today is my luck." Zhang Yong said with a smile.
"If he is from Dongfang family, why is his surname Lin? Dongfang is not a surname?" Zhou Zhu Yao ask. She thinks she is awesome too, she converse harmoniously with such amazing people just now, there is nothing that she can't do now.
"His surname is Dongfang, but only the head of the Dongfang family can be addressed as Dongfang directly, it's just a family rule. I also don't know about it before. What more, it is Mr.Lin's mother who is surnamed Dongfang, nit his father." Zhang Yong said.
"Wow, that's a big pressure." Zhou Zhu Yao said.
"En. It's never easy, what more when it comes to family like the Dongfang, they basically control City Zhou. Not easy, not easy." Zhang Yong said.
Bai Yi Yang didn't comment much. She knows that people in this kind of big families may look majestic, but inside, they are a lot of rotten things. It is better to be in the category of people who only owns money but have good relationship. She knows that Zhang family is that kind of family, they are rich and have good prestige in City Nan, but their level cannot even measure to way powerful family like Dongfang. She quietly hope that Natalie and her husband won't be embroiled into any mess in the future. She have good impression on Old Cui's granddaughters, of course she hope the best for them.
When they arrived at the hotel, they transfer the stuff into Zhou Zhu Yao car trunk. Then they say goodbye to each other.
Bai Yi Chen didn't forget to bring Bai Yi Yang cheese tart to their hotel room. When they arrived to their rooms, they all clean up. The children was sleepy just now but after a bath, they become energetic again.
Bai Yi Yang called Bai Yi Chen and Bai Yi Mo into their room and they have another round of eating baked cheese tarts and drinking soft drinks. They all chat and look at the view, but the view wasn't that pretty, the surrounding area is just housing area and universities, nothing's interesting. Bai Yi Yang urged her siblings to brush their teeth before they all get ready to sleep. The last time Bai Yi Yang saw the watch was 12.37 am, then they all fall asleep.
Bai Yi Yang was woken up by Bai Yi Mo who lie down on top of her the next morning. She vaguely heard Zhou Zhu Yao opened the door for Bai Yi Mo. Bai Yi Chen didn't enter, he returned to his room again after dropping the bomb.
Don't know why Bai Yi Mo is so energetic today, he woke up the earliest and urge Bai Yi Chen to prepare the tub for him to take a bath. After that, he play alone in the tub before waking up Bai Yi Chen again. He wanted to go to Bai Yi Yang room. So now, while Bai Yi Chen return to his room to get ready, Bai Yi Mo is thrown into this room.
"Jie, wake up. I am hungry." Bai Yi Mo said.
"What time is it?" Bai Yi Yang ask. Bai Yi Mo then ask Zhou Zhu Yao who is brushing her teeth now.
"8.48 am." Zhou Zhu Yao said. Bai Yi Yang finally open her eyes. Well, their appointment with Zhang Yong is at 10.00 am, so they still have time to get ready then get breakfast at the hotel.
Bai Yi Yang woke up and start tidying up their stuff while Zhou Zhu Yao and the girls take a bath. After that she also get ready. They all went down to get breakfast at 9.30 am. After a light breakfast, Bai Yi Yang head to check out and while waiting for the process, they waited at the lobby. Zhang Yong also arrived not long after.
Today, they are going to visit the main branch of Natural Grocery, then have lunch. Then, they will directly head back home. It's better return earlier.
Bai Yi Yang and Bai Yi Ling sit in Zhang Yong's car and the rest follow Zhou Zhu Yao. Zhang Yong take his time driving because Zhou Zhu Yao still need to follow him from behind. They arrived at and building area where big sign of Natural Grocery is. They park at a reserve parking area and come out. When a staff saw them, he immediately approached but Zhang Yong told the person to go busy around. Today is a weekend, the supermarket is a bit busy.
"Seeing it upfront, this place is not small at all." Bai Yi Yang said.
"This is the main branch, so of course this is the biggest. The other branches is not as big as this. Come inside." Zhang Yong said humbly. The store name sounds humble, but this place is actually huge.
They all follow Zhang Yong inside. The staff who saw Zhang Yong immediately greet and they gave Bai Yi Yang and the rest a look. Bai Yi Yang totally ignore it.
"Since we are here, we will just shop here, so that we don't have to stop by the town to buy stuff. What do you say jie." Bai Yi Yang ask Zhou Zhu Yao.
"En, sounds good." Zhou Zhu Yao nod.
So, instead of a tour, Zhang Yong ends up following them shopping around. This place sells many healthy products, but there are still snacks that the children like very much. So it is very convenient. What more, when they arrived at the wet food section, the products are fresh.
"En, very fresh. Big brother Zhang, you are really capable." Bai Yi Yang praise. The meat sold here is just like the one at the butcher shop, well except the prince is also more expensive. But who cares, the people who come here only cares about freshness.
Zhang Yong smile and explain to her how he handle fresh produce. He didn't get the meat from suppliers, he directly contacted slaughter house or farms. It was hard at first but now Natural Grocery have name, so people are competing to sell to him.
"I was able to expand our products range all thanks to you." Zhang Yong said.
"Thanks to the viral fruits." Bai Yi Yang said.
When they arrived at a section, there are many people crowding. And there is a staff who is especially stationed there. There is a big 'Bai Mountain' label and also some illustrations there. Bai Yi Yang become dumbfounded with Zhang Yong effort to promote the fruits.
"You know, since people are hyping about it, then we can't lose with our promotion. This fruits are from yesterday, when today's fruits put on the counter this evening, more people will want it. Of course, about half of the fruits are already reserved by customers. Your orchard's produce is famous given as gifts, we charged a but extra compared to store price for the packaging.." Zhang Yong said in a low volume. Bai Yi Yang nod. Just like Zhang Yong said, there aren't much more fruits at that certain counter.
"You see the 'sold out' sigh over there. We stocked up the dried mushrooms this morning and they are sold out now." Zhang Yong said.
"They are sold out now?" Bai Yi Yang ask in shock. This is bot even 11.00 am yet. The store open at 7.00 am and it is already sold out.
"If they are not sold out by 10.00 am, that's when you should be shock. That's why Yi Yang, is there no other way to increase the dried mushrooms amount?" Zhang Yong laugh.
"That's a bit hard." Bai Yi Yang grinned.
The children is already pointing at the fruits when they passed by.
"That's TongTong favourite fruit." Bai Yi Mo said. He is TongTong slave when his older siblings went to school. Because TongTong love this certain fruits, Bai Yi Yang pick a lot and bring them home.
So when TongTong follow them to Old Zhou house, Bai Yi Mo need to peel it for TongTong. One time, he refuse and ask Grandma Zhou for help while he go to play, don't know how his oldest sister find out so he was lectured. After that, he don't dare to ask Grandma Zhou again, he totally become the white cat's slave.
"Jie, is this the fruit that Second uncle and the other uncles pick?" Bai Yi Fang ask.
"Yeah." Bai Yi Yang answer.
"In the future, there will be shelves added here when we start selling the vegetables." Zhang Yong said. Bai Yi Yang nod and she doesn't have much to say either. Her family provide the produce, it is all up to Zhang Yong actually.
"When did you say we can start picking?" Zhang Yong ask.
"Next month. However, the amount won't be as much at the fruits." Bai Yi Yang said.
"En, understand." Zhang Yong said and they move on.
Because of this conversation, some of the old customers who recognise Zhang Yong ask the staff nearby.
"Who is the young girl your big boss talking with?" They ask.
"I am also not sure.." The staff awkwardly answer.
"They were talking about adding shelves and selling vegetables." Someone said.
"Ah, I think that's must be the supplier of Bai Mountain. The General Manager once said that it is a young pretty girl, must be her." The staff suddenly recalled. She wanted to look again but the big boss and that person already went far.
Bai Mountain products is famous, the only problem is that it is a bit far from their store. But, after the products is added, their store also soars, so they old workers benefited a lot. They suddenly got important roles while new workers got recruited to do their old job. So they suddenly got curious about the Bai Mountain produce, what more when the precious dried mushrooms start introduced into their store. That's how they got information about the supplier.
"So it must be true if you hear the big boss and Bai Mountain supplier said that. There will be vegetables from Bai Mountain too? That's great, that's great." Someone said. The staff become awkward again, well she really don't know if there will be other products.
Because if this, one person commented on Natural Grocery post and it gained attention. Bai Mountain produce is good, so people also got curious. By that time, Zhang Yong has also agreed with Bai Yi Yang so he can only make an early announcement that their store will also sells vegetables from Bai Mountain starting May.
Of course, this is the things in a few days time. Bai Yi Yang and her siblings is now still shopping for stuff. When their cart is full did they head to the counter to pay. Zhang Yong told her that he can call someone to open a counter but Bai Yi Yang reject. All staff look busy, there are reason why some counter is close.
When they arrived at the counter, the cashier freak out when she saw Zhang Yong together with them, helping taking out the stuff onto the counter.
"Good..good morning Mr.Zhang.." The cashier said.
"En, go ahead and scan." Zhang Yong said as he continue what he is doing.
"For you." Zhang Yong hand over a card to Bai Yi Yang. This seems to be a membership card but it is a bit different than the one other people is using.
"I gave one to close family and friends." Zhang Yong said. He didn't explain. Membership have different level of course, for people from the Zhang family or close friends who have this car, they will have 70% off from their purchase. But there weren't many, Zhang Yong gave Bai Yi Yang one of them.
"Okay, thanks." Bai Yi Yang accept it. Before paying, she also gave the card to the cashier. So when she payed far less amount and saw the 70% off price, she is shocked.
"That's a lot of discount." Bai Yi Yang said.
"That's a family card, not much, there are less than 10 so you can use it at ease." Zhang Yong explain.
"Okay." Bai Yi Yang agree. It's not like she will come to Natural Grocery often, so there is no pressure.
