High School Belle Fell in Love with Me

Chapter 527 - 235: The Organization’s Order

For Dou Ying, the fortunate thing was that Li Yang and Jiang Banxia were not married yet.

So she was willing to patiently resolve this matter.

She knew Jiang Banxia was making excuses, but it didn’t matter. There would always be a time when Jiang Banxia couldn’t find an excuse.

If Jiang Banxia didn’t want to face it for the time being, then let her hide for a couple of days.

So, she drove and took Jiang Banxia to Green Water Heaven and Earth.

She definitely knew this supermarket was opening, since the county town was just this small.

However, the location was still a bit remote, it used to be wasteland.

Although the roads around were well-constructed, parking was convenient, the residential area wasn’t here, and the foot traffic wasn’t as much as imagined.

It was only in the first couple of days after the opening that they gave away a lot of stuff.

When she arrived at the entrance of the supermarket and saw the empty premises, she knew this mall wouldn’t last long.

It was indeed grand, especially the logo on the front of the main entrance, which was well-designed.

However, the entire building wasn’t particularly tall, only about fifty to sixty meters, so the design wasn’t too challenging.

This was Dou Ying’s first time coming here, and Jiang Banxia’s as well.

After entering, Jiang Banxia first saw some small notes from the supermarket.

At the most prominent location of the entrance, the service range of the supermarket was marked.

Including services available if you have pets, kids, or if you encounter mobility difficulties.

There was a rest area, and the direction to the restroom was clearly marked.

These were prepared for socially anxious individuals.

Many socially anxious people would rather exhaust themselves than ask someone else a single question.

"Hello, ma’am, if this is your first time here and you don’t know where the items are, you can ask our staff anytime," a service attendant said to Jiang Banxia.

"Hmm, okay."

Jiang Banxia walked directly into the supermarket.

The first floor was mainly food, various snacks, fruits and vegetables, fresh meat.

With just a glance, she was impressed by some small designs inside.

For starters, the price tags showed both the purchase price and the selling price.

Daring to show this definitely meant there was some basis behind it, at most including the procurement costs in the purchase price.

Snacks and such were mostly marked up by about 5%.

She wandered around for a bit, picked up some snacks, and got ready to find a basket. Immediately, a staff member came over with a small cart, "Hello."

"Oh, thank you."

When Jiang Banxia put her items in and prepared to push the cart herself, the attendant said, "I can push it for you. If you want to quickly find any items, feel free to ask me, and I can lead you there to choose."

"Alright."

...

Dou Ying thought since she was already here, she might as well buy some groceries to take home.

Especially after wandering for a while, she saw the seafood area.

In the local Xingcheng Supermarket, the seafood they sold was either frozen hairtail or seaweed; there was no live seafood.

Green Water Heaven and Earth was really being extravagant, selling live seafood was costly.

Li Yang was just being fanciful, not valuing money.

Such a big supermarket, one could walk all over the first floor until one’s legs were tired, and the number of service attendants outnumbered the customers.

No need to go to the second and third floors, surely there weren’t many people there.

The seafood wasn’t cheap; Dou Ying bought a piece of East Star Grouper, over three pounds, costing more than a thousand yuan.

However, the supermarket considerately provided things you might need, like pre-cut scallion threads and small recipe cards.

Some small details made Dou Ying quite satisfied, for example, there was not a drop of water in the bag, and the scales had been peeled off.

They also provided ice cubes for keeping the fish fresh.

After buying a few other things, she felt the service was quite good, but her mindset was different—this supermarket was practically part of their family with shares held.

Although Jiang Banxia’s shares, after two rounds of dilution, were down to just 3.6%, it still counted as neither too big nor too small a shareholder.

Jiang Banxia also bought some things and then checked out.

As Dou Ying was preparing to leave, Jiang Banxia pulled her onto the elevator.

There wasn’t much on the first floor, just more services.

The real core of this mall was upstairs.

The second floor was all kinds of clothing, home appliances, cosmetics...

The third floor became noticeably more lively, a paradise for children.

From babies a few months old to thirteen or fourteen-year-old kids, they could all have fun here.

Other supermarkets had this too, but there wasn’t much to play with, and you needed a shopping receipt from the supermarket.

This place didn’t require that, and there were dedicated staff distributing wristbands, matching parents with kids to prevent anyone from sneaking away with a child.

They could also locate the child using the wristband to prevent kids from getting lost and not asking for help.

They didn’t linger much on the third floor; the fourth floor was an adult playground, the fifth floor had a cinema and various entertainment projects.

When they reached the sixth floor, Dou Ying was startled by the number of people inside.

There were many, many people.

At this time, it was close to meal time. The workers from nearby construction sites would come to the sixth floor to eat, and even if they hadn’t tidied up, they sat on chairs, dirtying one area of the chairs.

However, attendants were constantly cleaning, delineating a designated area.

Jiang Banxia directly took the fish to the counter, "Please help me cook this, I want it steamed. And the same for these crabs..."

Dou Ying couldn’t help but ask, "Aren’t you going to take it home for your dad to try?"

"I’ll buy some more in a bit. I noticed that good stuff in the seafood area isn’t selling, so might as well help them out..."

High-end seafood didn’t have much of a market in small towns; maybe in half a month it would be better, since it’s nearing the New Year, and some families would grit their teeth to indulge a little.

Dou Ying helplessly said, "You also know there’s no market for it? Other supermarkets don’t sell it precisely because of this. How much did Green Water Heaven and Earth spend? What good wouldn’t come from spending that money elsewhere?"
