Bai Yingxia drove her sports car to the area near one of her supermarkets. After parking her car on the roadside, she walked into the stall and said, "Auntie, I want a bowl of wonton soup."
This was the first time the stall owner had seen a customer driving an expensive sports car visit her stall. She was enthusiastic and served the food in less than 5 minutes.
As she placed the wonton soup on the table, she asked, "Do you want a cup of soymilk? It’s freshly made this morning."
Bai Yingxia nodded. "Give me a cup and please add some sugar." She loved her soymilk sweet.
The stall owner’s smile widened, and she nodded. "Okay."
When she finished her breakfast, Bai Yingxia paid 8 yuan. It was cheap compared to the amount of food. She should order more and store them in her space to satisfy her cravings in the apocalypse.
But before that, she had to take care of the supermarket first.
She drove her car and arrived at the supermarket’s parking lot in less than 10 minutes.
Although it was called a supermarket, it was actually a hypermarket that focused on wholesale. Their target customers were small companies or people who resold the goods.
Entering the hypermart, she looked around the aisles to check out the variety of goods. Besides the medicines that were strictly controlled by the government, almost everything was available in this place.
An hour later, she went to the third floor where the office was located. The moment the manager saw her, she quickly walked over and greeted her.
"Boss, what brought you here today? You should have informed me so I could prepare the report."
"Manager Wang, I came to take a look. How are the sales?" Bai Yingxia asked as she walked into her office.
Manager Wang followed her and, after closing the office door, replied, "The price of the goods has increased by 7% this year, and with the new wholesale mart opening a few months ago, our sales have dropped significantly."
Bai Yingxia nodded and said, "Give me the report."
Manager Wang went to get the reports and returned not long after. As a top student in her previous life, Bai Yingxia already grasped the situation after reading the reports. Without a good marketing idea, they would suffer losses this year.
While she was able to find a solution to solve the losses, she didn’t intend to do it. The apocalypse was approaching, and she didn’t have time to play house.
Closing the reports, she said, "Inform everyone that the hypermart will be put on sale."
"I will pay their severance payment according to the contract and add 2 months of their salary as a thank you for their hard work. This will be effective immediately."
As soon as she heard this, Manager Wang was stunned.
There were a total of 327 staff members and workers. Although the boss was willing to pay the severance payment and gave them an additional bonus, it was too sudden. They are definitely unwilling to leave.
She wanted to persuade her boss. But when she met her boss’s firm gaze, she swallowed back her words.
For her boss, this hypermart was probably just a toy. She was the biggest shareholder of the Lanxing Group. The dividend she received in a year was more than what this place could earn in 5 years.
Reaching this conclusion, Manager Wang nodded. "I will inform the staff." After a pause, she asked, "Boss, what should I do if they are unwilling to leave?"
Bai Yingxia thought for a moment and said, "Tell them to contact my lawyer if they have complaints."
Hearing this, Manager Wang knew that there was no use going against the boss. Since she had said so, Manager Wang nodded and went to carry out her task.
It has been a while since she considered resigning from her job. She was no longer young. Her family and her in-laws kept urging her to have a child. Now that she could receive severance pay and a bonus, this was the best situation for her.
After Manager Wang left the office, Bai Yingxia opened the program used by the staff to record the transactions and stock.
While she was busy checking the stock, Manager Wang had already informed everyone through the company’s group chat.
Although some people were unwilling to leave and planned to ask for more money, the moment they heard that they should contact the lawyer, they changed their minds instantly.
After they finished packing up, they left one after another.
Manager Wang sent an email with detailed information about the staff and workers to Bai Yingxia. She also carefully calculated the severance pay and 2 months’ salary bonus for each person.
After she received permission from Bai Yingxia, Manager Wang contacted the bank and coordinated with them to transfer the money to the staff and workers’ bank accounts.
At noon, the metal door of the hypermart was closed and locked by the security guard. He left the keys on the mailbox, informed Manager Wang, and rode his scooter back home.
Bai Yingxia saved the manufacturers’ phone numbers and left the office after she received the key from Manager Wang.
She went to the second floor and stored all the goods there. She didn’t know what was inside the boxes, but as long as it had been supplied, she took everything.
At first, she thought that she had to touch the items to store them in her space. Unexpectedly, she could store the items without touching them as long as they were within 20 meters of her.
This made everything easier for her. She didn’t wave her hands like those heroines in novels because she could collect and take out the items without doing that. There was no need for pretentious actions.
After she finished collecting the goods, she went to collect everything stored in the market. Even the shelves used to place smaller goods and the freezers used to store frozen goods were taken away.
When she was done, she used a freight elevator and went to the basement warehouse.
