Siheyuan: Sending Shazhu into the call center, Yi Gu is useless

Purchasing these items on behalf of customers is convenient and can increase customer flow. Selling simple meals is also a good idea. There are many young people working in the courtyard.

Chen Rufeng nodded in agreement, feeling an indescribable sense of relief. In the past, he had been confused and frustrated, but now, seeing the store gradually getting back on track, his confidence has been restored. He realized that lows in life are inevitable, but as long as he is willing to work hard and try, he will eventually find a way out.

"Sometimes, I feel that doing business is like walking through a maze," Chen Rufeng said with emotion, looking out the window. "You can't see the road ahead, but as long as you don't give up, you can always find the exit."

Xiao Li nodded and continued, "Yes, Boss Chen, I think what you said is very right. In fact, it is not only in business, but also in life. Sometimes we can't see hope, but as long as we persist, we can always get out of trouble."

The two smiled at each other. This tacit understanding made their relationship more harmonious. Chen Rufeng felt that he had not only made a new breakthrough in business, but also gained more warmth and support in interpersonal relationships. This made him look forward to the future.

As the online business of the store gradually matured, Chen Rufeng began to consider further expanding the scope of business. At the suggestion of Xiao Li, he added more products suitable for online sales, especially some daily necessities suitable for young people and families. These products are not only rich in variety but also very affordable, which soon attracted a stable customer base.

One afternoon, a young customer pushed open the door and walked in, excitedly saying to Chen Rufeng, "Boss Chen, I have bought things on your store's online platform several times, and it is very convenient. This time I passed by here and came in to see the physical store and buy some more."

Chen Rufeng felt warm in his heart after hearing this. He greeted the customers with a smile and introduced the products in the store carefully: "Thank you for your support. It is indeed convenient to order online, but sometimes it is also good to come to the store to browse. Just tell me if you need anything."

The customer listened to Chen Rufeng's introduction while selecting a few items. Finally, he said with satisfaction: "Boss Chen, your store is really good. It has both online and offline services. It is very convenient for those of us who live nearby."

After seeing off the customer, Chen Rufeng felt very relieved. This kind of recognition and support from customers is what he cherishes most. He knows that he is on the right path. Although this path is full of challenges, every step makes him feel extremely satisfied and accomplished. The online orders of the store are gradually stabilizing, and the offline business is also booming. In particular, the express collection and purchasing services are becoming more and more popular among the residents of the courtyard. Every day, customers can be seen in the store picking up express deliveries and sending parcels, and more and more customers buy some daily necessities or simple meals.

Chen Rufeng gradually adapted to this busy rhythm. Although the workload was much greater than before, he felt a sense of fulfillment and happiness. This happiness came from his sense of control over his life and from the fact that he had brought new vitality to the store through his own efforts.

One morning, he began his day's preparations. The sun shone through the window, illuminating the dazzling array of goods on the shelves, and his mood brightened. Recalling his past lows and confusion, Chen Rufeng felt that everything he has now is hard-earned.

"Xiao Li, our new goods have arrived today. Please help me sort them out later." Chen Rufeng said to Xiao Li while sorting the goods.

Xiao Li smiled and replied, "Okay, Boss Chen, I have seen the purchase order, this batch of goods should be very popular." He was full of confidence in the future. He knew that although the road ahead was still full of unknown challenges, as long as he persevered, constantly adjusted and improved, the future would definitely get better and better.

As the business of the store gradually expanded, Chen Rufeng also began to consider how to better serve the residents of the courtyard. He decided to set up a "community interaction corner" in the store to provide a space for neighbors to communicate and interact. He arranged some tables, chairs and books in a corner of the store, and even put a few chess and playing cards, hoping that the neighbors could relax here, chat and play chess after shopping.

This community interaction corner was quickly welcomed by residents. Every day, old neighbors gather here to chat, and young people sit aside to read or play cards. Chen Rufeng looked at these scenes with great satisfaction. He knew that the store was not only a commercial place, but also a small social center for the residents of the courtyard. Ran Qiuye passed by the store and saw the lively scene in the community interaction corner, so she couldn't help but walk in to take a look. She smiled and said to Chen Rufeng, "Boss Chen, I didn't expect that your place is not only a store, but also a gathering place for neighbors."

Chen Rufeng smiled and nodded: "Yes, Qiuye, I want this place to be not only a place to buy things, but also a place for everyone to communicate and relax. You see, everyone is in a good mood when chatting here, I think it is worth it. There was a look of approval in his eyes: "Your idea is really good. It seems that you are not only a good businessman, but also a person who knows how to care about the community."

Chen Rufeng's parents died early, leaving behind this courtyard. Although he had a not-too-bad job outside, the nine-to-five life gradually made him feel bored. Whenever he returned to the yard, sat on the old rattan chair, and looked at the familiar bricks and tiles in the courtyard, he always felt an indescribable tranquility in his heart. He realized that he needed to find a job that was closer to life, which might bring him more satisfaction.

One day, he suddenly had an idea and decided to open a small shop in the courtyard. Most of the neighbors around the courtyard were elderly and always had to walk a long way to buy things. If he opened a small shop in the yard, it would not only be convenient for the neighbors, but also allow him to spend more time in this land carrying memories. He did not hesitate and began to prepare for this plan.

First, he tidied up the front hall of the courtyard, which was originally a place full of clutter. Chen Rufeng spent a few days moving old furniture and some unnecessary items to the backyard, and repainted the walls to make the front hall look brand new. Then, he went to the wholesale market to buy some daily necessities: rice, noodles, oil, salt, and some snacks that old Beijingers like, such as fried noodles with soybean paste, twisted dough sticks, preserved fruits, etc. In order to make the store more distinctive, he also specially asked someone to make a wooden sign with "Rufeng Store" on it. It is simple and plain, but exudes a sense of intimacy.
