Seeing Fat Man seriously handling the relevant documents, Bing Tianyi wanted to laugh, but he dared not make a sound and could only hold it in.
In less than twenty minutes, Fat Man had completed the necessary procedures. He then looked up at Bing Tianyi and smiled, "Everything has been taken care of. You just need to go to the Health Bureau to get your health permit. As for the tax registration certificate and such, you can handle those yourself; they don't really concern us."
"When can I come to pick up the Business License?" Bing Tianyi asked with a smile.
"You can just come to the first floor to pick it up in three days."
"Alright, thank you." Bing Tianyi said as he picked up the items he had brought in and walked out without looking back.
Seeing this, Fat Man immediately stood up and quietly asked, "What are you...?"
Although Fat Man did not finish his sentence, his eyes were fixed on the items in Bing Tianyi's hands.
Noticing this, Bing Tianyi stopped and chuckled softly, "I bought a few things for home. Do you need anything else, boss?"
Hearing this, Fat Man felt a pang of frustration. However, he had no way out now; after all, the other party had never mentioned that these items were for him since entering.
Bing Tianyi left feeling quite happy as he hurried home.
Once home, he asked his parents to go to the Health Bureau to handle the relevant procedures while he went to the building materials market to contact personnel for some simple renovations of the store.
Time passed quickly, and before long, ten days had flown by.
Bing Tianyi had actually calculated an auspicious opening date based on his mother's Ba Zi during the renovation.
On that morning, Bing Tianyi and his parents arrived early at the store entrance. The three of them looked at the modest storefront before them, their faces filled with smiles of satisfaction.
As time passed, at exactly seven forty-eight in the morning, with a loud shout from Bing Tianyi, Pang Yu and others nearby lit the firecrackers placed on both sides.
It happened to be Saturday, and the brothers from school had no other commitments, so they came to help Bing Tianyi.
Hearing the sound of the firecrackers, Bing Tianyi's lips curled into a brilliant smile. He kept silently reminding himself that starting today, he was officially entering the business world.
Perhaps to others, this did not seem like much of a business, but in Bing Tianyi's heart, any investment, no matter how small, was related to business.
This was also a kind of life attitude, and this attitude would determine Bing Tianyi's future success, despite the countless difficulties and obstacles that lay ahead.
Father Bing and Mother Bing had not been in the county town for long, so there weren't many people coming to congratulate them. However, Bing Tianyi was different; on the first day of opening, the first person to arrive was Brother Kun.
Brother Kun was followed by four brothers who carried a flower basket. Upon reaching the store entrance, they lit the fireworks they had brought.
Seeing this, Bing Tianyi quickly stepped forward and smiled, "Brother Kun, it truly honors me that you could come."
Brother Kun took the cigarette that Bing Tianyi handed him and chuckled as he said, "There are even more unexpected guests coming later; he and Crow Brother will arrive together."
"Can you give me a hint about who it is? It would help me prepare," Bing Tianyi asked seriously.
Brother Kun shook his head with a smile, patted Bing Tianyi on the shoulder, and said directly, "I can't reveal that yet. However, Crow Brother asked me to ask you where you chose to greet the guests."
"It's just a short distance ahead at Public Diner," Bing Tianyi replied somewhat awkwardly.
After all, when he opened this shop, he only had a little over thirty thousand in funds. Now, after some time, he could say he was left with just two hundred dollars for living expenses. He didn't have enough money to order from a better restaurant.
Brother Kun frowned slightly upon hearing this. After a few seconds, he quickly instructed a few of his brothers, "You three go to the Golden Flower Hotel and book thirty tables. You go to the Public Diner and say that the tables booked here have been canceled. If they refuse to cancel, just tell them Crow Brother asked them to do it."
After the four brothers received their orders, they turned and left.
Seeing this situation, Bing Tianyi felt even more awkward. He leaned closer to Brother Kun and said with a wry smile, "Brother Kun, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
"What’s inappropriate about it? We're all brothers here; you don’t need to be so formal."
"That's not what I meant; mainly I..."
At this point, Bing Tianyi didn't finish his sentence. Unexpectedly, Brother Kun laughed heartily and said, "You don’t need to worry about money. All expenses today will be covered by me and Crow Brother."
"Big brother, if you two do this, I won’t know how to repay you in the future."
Brother Kun chuckled and replied, "Who said you won't be able to repay us? In the future, just give me and Crow Brother a couple of fortune readings."
"Alright then. Since Brother Kun says so, tomorrow I’ll give you and Crow Brother each a reading." Bing Tianyi said with a big smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, they heard a hearty laugh coming from afar. Bing Tianyi and Brother Kun quickly turned around to see a crow approaching along with a young man in a suit.
The young man was about one hundred seventy-five centimeters tall, slightly thin, wearing glasses, and had a cheerful smile on his face.
Seeing him, Bing Tianyi quickly searched his memory but couldn't recall anyone from the county who looked like this among the older brothers.
However, Bing Tianyi had some impression of the appearance of Glasses Man.
After thinking for a moment, Bing Tianyi suddenly recalled that this person seemed to be Shi Tao, who had served as the Deputy Secretary of the County Committee when he was in high school.
With this thought in mind, Bing Tianyi hurriedly approached and greeted Crow Brother, then extended his hand with a smile to Secretary Shi: “Secretary Shi, I didn’t expect you to visit my little shop. It’s truly an honor.”
Shi Tao scrutinized Bing Tianyi for a moment before turning to Crow Brother and saying, “What you said is true; this kid really doesn’t look very old this year.”
“Look at what Secretary Shi is saying. How could I deceive you? He is only sixteen years old and still a first-year high school student,” Crow Brother replied with a smile, then leaned closer to Secretary Shi and whispered, “Moreover, my little brother has an impressive talent for fortune-telling; he can almost be considered a celestial being.”
“Is that so?”
“You flatter me, big brother. I only have a superficial understanding,” Bing Tianyi said with a sincere smile. After saying this, he turned to Brother Kun and suggested, “Brother Kun, why don’t you and big brother along with Secretary Shi go to Golden Flower first and chat there? I’ll join you as soon as I finish up here.”
Upon hearing this, Crow Brother quickly replied, “Alright, little brother, you take care of your business. I’ll go with Secretary Shi, and A-Kun can stay here to help you out.”
“Then I’ll trouble you to keep Secretary Shi company for me,” Bing Tianyi smiled at Crow Brother.
Crow Brother nodded in agreement, instructing his subordinate to place the flower basket at Bing Tianyi’s entrance before driving off with Secretary Shi to the hotel.
At that moment, Father Bing hurried out of the shop, nodded at A-Kun, and looked at his son in surprise, asking, “Tianyi, that person who just came in couldn’t be Deputy Secretary Shi, could he?”
“Yes,” Bing Tianyi nodded with a smile.
“What? He’s so busy; how could he possibly come to congratulate you on your opening?” Father Bing said in disbelief.
At that moment, A-Kun smiled and said, "Uncle, you really shouldn't doubt it. Your family’s Tianyi is quite the local celebrity now."
"With someone like him, how could he possibly be a celebrity?"
Just as Father Bing was speaking, Sun Hua and Liu Qian arrived in a city management vehicle in front of the Small Restaurant. After parking, Liu Qian, holding a bouquet, followed behind Sun Hua. Bing Tianyi quickly approached them and smiled, saying, "Liu Brother, you shouldn't trouble yourself so much with your busy schedule."
"It's Saturday; I don't have much to do. Are you not happy to see us?" Sun Hua teased with a smile.
Hearing this, Bing Tianyi quickly shook his head and replied with a smile, "Of course not! It's my honor that you both could come."
"That's good to hear. How about this? Is it okay to place it here?" Liu Qian asked Sun Hua while setting down the bouquet.
Sun Hua turned around, glanced at the bouquet placed nearby, and asked Bing Tianyi in surprise, "Big Brother, Shi Tao came too?"
"Yes, he just went to the Golden Flower Hotel," Bing Tianyi replied straightforwardly.
"My goodness, when did you get involved with him?" Sun Hua asked in even greater surprise.
"Actually, we just met today; Crow Brother brought him along."
"I see. Well then, you keep busy; I'll be on my way." Sun Hua said as he prepared to drive off.
Seeing this, Bing Tianyi curiously asked Sun Hua, "Director Sun, aren't you planning to join us for a meal at the hotel?"
"That might not be appropriate," Sun Hua said with an awkward smile.
"Today will definitely be beneficial for you."
Seeing Bing Tianyi say this, Sun Hua nodded and smiled, "Alright, since you, Big Brother, have said so, if I don't go, it would be disrespectful to you."
"Yes, you go ahead first. I'll finish up and come over to accompany you shortly."
Just as Sun Hua was about to get in the car and leave, he was surprised to see Bai Jie had also driven over. As soon as Bai Jie parked the car by the roadside, another familiar face appeared in front of Bing Tianyi.
This time, it was none other than Bing Tianyi's future father-in-law, Chen Huaqiang, along with his newly engaged fiancée, Chen Qian.
Seeing more guests arriving, Sun Hua quickly bid farewell to Bing Tianyi and drove towards Golden Flower.
Upon seeing this situation, Bing Tianyi immediately called out to his father, who was greeting customers inside the store, "Dad, Uncle Chen is here."
Father Bing heard this and hurriedly came out again.
Chen Huaqiang approached with Chen Qian and stood beside Bing Tianyi and Father Bing. He looked up at the not-so-large storefront in front of him and smiled with satisfaction as he asked Bing Tianyi, "Did you oversee all of this?"
Bing Tianyi replied earnestly with a smile, "Some of the permits were handled by my parents themselves; the rest I arranged personally."
"Very good," Chen Huaqiang said with a smile, nodding happily.
