Perfume Alchemist

Chapter 248 Closing the doors and going out of business 【Two in One】

"Wait!" Candy stopped the sheriff, "Just leave like this? Why don't we wait for us to calculate the loss first?"

The dark-skinned sheriff spread his hands: "This is not our business."

"Don't think about it, little girl." The chubby sheriff shook his finger: "Even if you really have any losses, this kind of scum can't afford it."

"Hmph." Cherry snorted coldly with disdain, and looked at the thief Jack with the eyes of scum. "If I find out that you have hidden something, I will definitely let Paul 'take care' of you in it."

With his hands cuffed behind him, Jack glanced at Cherry in horror: "You actually know Paul?"

Then he said urgently: "I really didn't hide anything! This place is so tightly sealed, I have nowhere to hide it! Everything in your store is inside, and I haven't moved anything! Believe me !"

"You'd better tell the truth." Cherry said harshly, looking at Jack grimly.Jack's legs were weak, and he was still forced into the car by the sheriff.

Ahao looked at Cherry curiously: "Who is Paul? Is it scary?"

"He's a good sister of mine. I accidentally got in some time ago selling some gadgets." Cherry waved his hand, "Although he has a big frame, he is quite cute. Every time I visit him in prison , will sneak him two bars of soap."

"."

Ah Hao hated himself for realizing it in seconds.

He could only cough twice to change the subject: "Okay, let's go in first. Others are still watching."

In the dimly lit room, Ah Hao went to the counter and operated the Lian Cheng array, which restored the whole room to its original state in an instant.

"Let's take stock first to see if there is any loss."

The other three immediately took inventory of the goods in the store, while Ah Hao counted the money behind the counter.

"Oh, the locks on the cash register are still there. The money and bills are correct."

After Ahao stared at the more than 3 Canadian dollars in the cash register and thought for a while, he divided them into four parts and packed them in envelopes.

Candy took a small notebook, carefully recorded the feedback from the other two, and said to Ahao: "The inventory is roughly the same, except that two bottles of perfume on the table are broken."

"It's okay, I saw that, I just record it as loss here."

After Ah Hao drew a stroke, he took out four chairs from behind: "Sit down, shall we have a meeting?"

A Hao looked at the three people with different expressions in front of him, and said with a smile: "It seems that we have never held such a formal meeting together."

Payne felt that the atmosphere was a bit serious, and quickly handed over the notebook in his hand: "Boss, this is what we observed this afternoon, please take a look."

"Hmm." Ahao took the note from Payne, and glanced at it briefly.

The situation of other perfume shops is not so good.Even if there is no brand that cooperates with Taiman, it is still affected by the incident in the square.

"Everyone should know the recent events. The general environment is not very good. After today's meeting, everyone can retreat, tomorrow"

Ah Hao actually has plans to temporarily close the store.

The Northon family gave too much money. Apart from the one-time subsidy, there is also a monthly "salary" to receive.With sufficient funds, he can wait for the turmoil to pass before opening a store.This loss of Canadian dollars is nothing to him now.

When he was exploring the door of truth in the morning, he faintly felt that his development on the path of alchemy had been dragged down by this perfume shop.

Although it seems that he has distributed a lot of work, so he doesn't have to do everything himself.But the perfume shop was open every day after all, so it was impossible for him not to care at all.You have to spare time in the evening to stock up.

The situation on Dr. Taiman's side has taken a turn for the worse. Now I don't know when the perfume supply chain will be settled.

In the end, he could only do the job of making perfume in person.

When he returned to the Zunana perfume shop, he actually looked back at his development path.What really helped him achieve what he is now is "alchemy".

The store may be "smashed" instantly due to an accident at any time, and all reputations will be wiped out under the frame of others.

But only one's own strength can never be taken away by others.

Candy is the most perceptive, she seems to have sensed something.She looked straight into Ahao's eyes: "Tomorrow, shall we still come?"

Ah Hao sighed and decided to tell the truth.

"I won't be using it tomorrow, our shop will be temporarily closed for a while."

Ah Hao smiled apologetically: "Just take it as a vacation. By the way, I will pay you your salary first."

Ahao handed the envelopes he had just sorted out to the three of them.

Payne took a look at the envelope with two fingers, and immediately shouted: "So much?!"

"Hehe, the extra money should be used as travel funds. I invite everyone to go on a trip. Thank you for your hard work all the time."

"Ah?!" Cherry said a little embarrassedly: "But I only worked for two days. Can I get the money too?"

"Take it, you are also a member of our shop."

"Luck is also part of strength." Candy patted Cherry with a smile.

Then she turned her head to look at Ahao again: "Then boss, when will we reopen the door? If it takes a long time, I'll see if I want to take a part-time job."

"No need." Ahao waved his hand: "It's just temporarily closed, it's not that I quit. The perfume business in the store is pretty good."

Ah Hao leaned back and leaned on the back of the chair: "But if it starts to open, at least I have to wait for me to settle the supply chain. Probably. It will take two weeks."

"Everyone, please give me your address first. If the opening time of the store is earlier or later, I will notify everyone."

"Ok!"

When the three of them bowed their heads to write, Ahao suddenly said: "By the way, when our store reopens, I will promote one of you to be the store manager. In the future, the store will be handed over to him. Of course, the store manager While taking on more work, you will definitely get more money."

Ah Hao said to the three of them very seriously: "This small store will not be my end, the closure is for better development. Apart from supply chain issues, I will also go to the upper city to inspect some stores. Prepare to open a branch.

"In the future, there will definitely be more and more AH perfume stores. As long as you work hard, each of you can become a store manager."

"Yeah!" The three of them nodded at the same time, sparks ignited in their eyes.

"That's it! Take a good rest these few days!"

After closing the store door, Ahao waited for the Austrian Express in the back alley, and took the Austrian Express directly to the Austrian Avenue.

Ah Hao walked on the avenue relaxedly, only feeling that the false sunlight above his head was warm.

When he thinks about tomorrow, no, he won't have to get up early or visit the store for the next two weeks, he feels very refreshed.

I don't know if Wende has repaired his little villa?If you can take this opportunity and live there for a while, that would be even better!
YES!Ah Hao couldn't help but slapped his thigh hard.

Passers-by on the street glanced at them strangely.Ah Hao just pretended he didn't see it, and walked around the street with ease.

"Welcome to [Akashi] Aofa Material Store, is there anything I need to buy?"

"Yes, there are quite a few." Ah Hao pushed aside the obstructing dream catcher, walked up to the half-grown boy, and took out two long checklists.

"For the materials on the left, I need 100 copies of each, and for the materials on the right, just give me 10 copies first."

"So much?" The young man's eyes widened. "There are some goods in the warehouse, but here we need [-] points in total. This store does not support credit."

"Well, what's your name?"

"William." The boy said neither humble nor overbearing.

"William, I'm the elder of the Northon family, Ahao."

Ah Hao casually took out a nightingale badge made of emerald jade from his bosom.

This badge was given to him by Mrs. Northam the last time he opened the door to the Wende family.In addition to being able to pass unimpeded in the manor, the badge can also prove his identity outside.

William took it and looked at it in trepidation: "Okay, Elder Hao. Then this payment will be recorded in Shayinbox's account?"

"That's not necessary." Ahao hurriedly stopped him, "Ahem, just give me a discount."

When Wende brought him here last time, he helped him with a discount.That's why he took a long detour today to come to this store.

There are quite a few shops selling special materials on Offa Avenue, and he also bought materials at another shop last time.The prices are similar, and he can't feel any difference in quality.That being the case, it must be a no-brainer to choose cheap.

"Okay." William hastily flipped through a booklet, searched up and down, and calculated the accounts cracklingly.

"The store gives 3300% off to members of the Nuosen family's relatives, and [-]% off to direct members. Elders can get [-]% off. You just need to give [-] points."

"Woo~" Ah Hao resisted the desire to whistle, and calmly took out the card from his pocket.

Then he slapped the suitcase on the table: "Just pack it here for me."

Now that we are all on Offa Avenue, it is unreasonable not to visit Ilya's flower shop.

Ah Hao hummed the melody he heard from a street performer, and happily walked into the botanical garden-like flower shop.

He turned to look at the elementary school girl who was working diligently: "Is Elijah in the store?"

The school girl got up and saw Ahao's face: "Ah, is it you?"

"Senior was still there just now, she should be resting in the back room now. Do you need me to take you to find Senior?"

"House? Did you buy a house so soon?"

Yi Liya seems to have said that she wants to buy a property on the avenue to facilitate Xiao Yi's growth.Ah Hao didn't expect her to move so quickly.

The school girl nodded: "It seems that I just bought it today, the landlady gave the key to the school sister. Shall we go now?"

"sorry to bother you."

She greeted another school girl, then left the shop and walked towards the alley behind.

In front of a small but cozy single-family house, the school girl stopped.

"Ding dong, ding dong."

"Sister, Mr. Ahao is here to find you!"

"I'm coming."

After a while, Ilya's surprised face appeared behind the door: "Ahao! I just wanted to ask you to come over tomorrow, but you came here today? What a coincidence, we were still talking about you just now Woolen cloth."

"Us?" Ahao looked at Ilya suspiciously, "Is there anyone else?"

"Hey, you'll know later, come in first."

"Then senior, shall I go back to the shop first?" The junior tilted her head, trying to minimize her presence.

"Well, you go."

Ah Hao walked into the room curiously and looked around.The furnishings in the house are a bit simple, and some cardboard boxes are randomly piled up in the living room.

"It's a bit messy, isn't it? I haven't had time to clean it up yet, and I just got the key today." Ilya closed the door gently.

"It's okay, I think this is very good, there is a feeling of pure white canvas waiting to be painted."

Ilya looked back and smiled: "I think so too! When I look at these places, I will think about what kind of furniture to put; or what decorations should be used to decorate it. I like this bit by bit It feels like building a new home.”

Ahao smiled and looked at Ilya, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by a voice from the right.

"Hey, hey, with such a tacit understanding, you don't want to kiss me in the next step, do you?"

Ah Hao turned his head to look.Shirley, with chestnut double ponytails, was standing by a sliding door, watching them quietly.

Shirley wore a rather traditional lace shirt, with a complicated floral collar that tightly covered her neck.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Ilya blushed slightly, and glanced at her angrily.

"Xue Li, have you been discharged from the hospital?" Ah Hao looked at her with a smile in his eyes.

Shirley stretched comfortably: "I just got out of the hospital today! I finally don't have to stay there! The smell there is terrific, it always smells like disinfectant."

Yi Liya walked to the next room and glanced around: "Xue Li, where are your parents?"

"I'm watching your little Yi in the backyard."

"Huh? Shirley, your parents are here too?" Ahao looked around.

"Are aunt and uncle also arcanists?"

Shirley nodded: "That's right. They originally wanted to visit you tomorrow, since you have come."

In the simple and elegant backyard, there are no other flowers, only a lavender rose demon living in the center.

A middle-aged man who looked quite elegant was squatting on the ground, carefully observing this little flower demon.

"Tracey, can you tell its breed?"

"I can't tell." The woman with maroon hair shook her head gracefully. "It should not be a known spirit. It is probably a species created by that little girl of Illya herself."

"There is vitality in the door, and strange flowers in the flower." The elegant middle-aged man shook his head, "This Ilya is not simple."

"Yeah!"

"Dad, Mom! Ah Hao is here, don't worry about Xiao Yi!" Shirley's voice came from behind, and the two quickly got up and turned their heads.

Ah Hao greeted politely: "Hi Auntie, Hello Uncle, I'm Ah Hao."

"Yo, the young man is so handsome." The woman named Tracy had a gleam in her eyes.

The middle-aged man walked over quickly: "Hi, I'm Francis. I heard that you are our family's Xueli's lifesaver?"

Ahao shook hands with him quickly: "No, no, I just helped take care of it. The main thing is that Yi Liya is more caring."

Francis took out a key from his pocket: "I've heard about the whole process! You don't need to be modest. This is a wish from my wife and I, please accept it."
