The morning in the city always carries a unique charm, especially on weekends, when the busy pace temporarily slows down and people have more time to enjoy life and plan for the future. For Gu Chenyu and Su Jinyu, such mornings are particularly precious.
Sunlight filters through the half-opened curtains and falls on the delicate coffee table, where a pot of freshly brewed green tea emits a faint steam, exuding a fresh aroma. Su Jinyu is wearing a soft cotton long skirt, leisurely sitting on the soft sofa, holding a book about the operation of a traditional Chinese medicine shop, her eyes focused and contemplative.
Gu Chenyu was wearing a casual home outfit, sitting across from her, holding a carefully crafted business plan. His eyes revealed a rare softness, a different side from his stern image in the business world.
"Jinyu, are you really considering expanding the traditional Chinese medicine shop?" Gu Chenyu put down the business plan, sounding somewhat cautious. "After all, this involves a considerable risk."
Su Jinyu looked up, her eyes shining with determination, and replied softly, "Chenyu, I know this is not simple, but how will we know the result if we don't try? The Chinese medicine shop is not just a store, it carries traditional culture and has special significance."
Gu Chenyu looked at Su Jinyu's passionate expression, and his doubts gradually disappeared. A smile appeared on his lips as he said, "Alright, since you are so confident, let's work together to make it bigger and stronger."
At this moment, the gaze of the two people met, filled with each other. In the time that followed, they began to seriously discuss the details of the plan, carefully considering every aspect from site selection and renovation to personnel recruitment.
Su Jinyu suggested, "We can add some cultural elements to the new storefront, such as a traditional Chinese medicine cultural display area, so that customers can not only purchase medicinal herbs but also understand the charm and depth of traditional Chinese medicine."
Gu Chenyu nodded in praise: "This idea is good, combining culture and business can make our traditional Chinese medicine shop stand out and attract more customers."
In this way, their discussion became more in-depth, and every idea was carefully analyzed and evaluated. In the process, the two of them cooperated seamlessly, and their tacit understanding made this plan seem full of endless possibilities.
Time quietly passes by, and the afternoon sun has slanted into the room, adding a bit of warmth and laziness to this small space.
Gu Chenyu suddenly stood up, stretched lazily, and said to Su Jinyu: "Jinyu, we've been discussing for so long. Let's go out for a walk and see if we can find a suitable storefront."
Su Jinyu smiled slightly and nodded. She stood up, took Gu Chenyu's hand, and the two of them walked out of the house, embarking on a journey to find a new storefront.
On a sunny afternoon, Su Jinyu and Gu Chenyu began searching for the ideal storefront in the city. Their goal was to open a chain of traditional yet modern Chinese medicine shops. Su Jinyu hoped to spread the culture of traditional Chinese medicine to more people in a new way.
They first shuttled through the busy streets of the city, with tall buildings and bustling crowds. Every corner was filled with the hustle and bustle of the city. As they walked, Su Jinyu couldn't help but complain, "The atmosphere here is too tense. If our traditional Chinese medicine shop were to open here, I'm afraid even the medicine would be under immense pressure!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Chenyu just glanced at her calmly and responded, "The key is that the rent here can make people feel breathless." Although his tone was flat, Su Jinyu could hear the humor in it and couldn't help but laugh.
Later, they turned into several quiet alleyways, where the pace seemed much more leisurely, and every scene exuded a strong sense of life. Su Jinyu looked at these ancient houses with excitement in his eyes and couldn't help but say, "Every brick and tile here is telling a story. It would be great if our traditional Chinese medicine shop could settle here!"
Gu Chenyu, on the other hand, was more focused on practical matters. He carefully observed the pedestrian traffic and commercial environment around him, while also evaluating the potential commercial value of these locations. Occasionally, he would stop and carefully examine a storefront, then turn to Su Jinyu and say, "The environment here is good, but we need more foot traffic."
So, as they explored and discussed, they eventually arrived at the quaint neighborhood full of ancient charm. Although not the commercial center of the city, it exuded an indescribable cultural allure. Towering old trees lined the cobblestone streets, with handicraft shops and tea houses exuding a strong ancient charm on either side. Each shop emitted a leisurely and contented atmosphere.
Su Jinyu's eyes lit up, and she excitedly grabbed Gu Chenyu's hand as if she had discovered a new continent: "Gu Chenyu, look at this, isn't this the place we've been dreaming of? The ambiance here, the culture, all of it aligns so well with our traditional Chinese medicine shop!"
Gu Chenyu stood in front of a storefront, carefully examining the long-vacant shop. His expression changed from calm to serious, evidently moved by the atmosphere. He turned to Su Jinyu with a rare softness in his eyes, "Indeed, this place has great potential. We can try talking to the landlord."
Seeing this, Su Jinyu smiled even brighter, understanding that Gu Chenyu had agreed. She couldn't help but jump lightly, excitedly saying, "That's great! Our dream is about to begin here!"
The lingering sunset has dyed everything golden. Standing in front of this storefront, Gu Chenyu and Su Jinyu exchanged a smile, their eyes shimmering with excitement. This will be the place where their dream begins, and also a part of their shared future.
With the decision made, Gu Chenyu and Su Jinyu felt much relieved, as if every step was on the path to the future. They quickly contacted the landlord of the storefront to discuss the lease. The landlord, an elderly man who loves traditional culture, showed great interest and support for their idea of combining a Chinese medicine shop with culture.
After finalizing the contract, the two of them began to get busy. Gu Chenyu utilized his experience and resources in the business world to plan the overall framework of the business operation, including fund management and market promotion. Each task was carried out in an orderly manner. Meanwhile, Su Jinyu focused more on the design of the storefront and the exploration of cultural connotations. She hoped that each store would not only be a place to purchase medicinal herbs, but also a platform for spreading traditional Chinese medicine culture.
During the process of decorating the storefront, Su Jinyu and Gu Chenyu had their own ideas and opinions. Su Jinyu hoped that the storefront would retain an ancient and elegant decoration, allowing people to feel a strong cultural atmosphere as soon as they walked in. She excitedly showed Gu Chenyu her design sketches, with every detail in the drawings revealing her dedication and creativity.
Gu Chenyu approached the situation from the perspective of practicality and customer experience, offering some suggestions for modifications. He believed that the layout of the store should be more rational to facilitate shopping and visiting for customers. Although his tone was calm, his words revealed a strong insistence on details and requirements.
"Jinyu, I understand the atmosphere you want to create, but we also need to consider the actual needs of the customers," Gu Chenyu said seriously. "For example, here, if we slightly adjust the position of the display area, it can make the entire space look more open and also more convenient for customers to browse."
Su Jinyu listened and, although somewhat unwilling, she understood that Gu Chenyu was considering the overall benefit of the store. She smirked and half-jokingly said, "Hmph, it seems that Mr. Businessman really knows a thing or two about management. However, our traditional Chinese medicine shop cannot just focus on practicality and neglect beauty and cultural atmosphere."
Upon hearing Su Jinyu's half-serious complaint, Gu Chenyu couldn't help but chuckle. He walked over and gently embraced her, saying, "Don't worry, Jinyu, we will definitely find the perfect balance. I really appreciate your design, I just hope to make some adjustments in the details to make it even more perfect."
Su Jinyu After listening, the dissatisfaction in her heart gradually dissipated. She leaned on Gu Chenyu's chest, feeling his support and understanding, and was filled with gratitude: "Thank you, Chenyu. With you here, I feel that our store will definitely be perfect."
In the following days, they worked together to solve one difficulty after another, from renovation to opening. Every step was a result of their hard work. On the day the new store finally opened, standing in front of the door, watching their dream come true, both Gu Chenyu and Su Jinyu had an indescribable sparkle in their eyes.
On the day of the opening, they carefully prepared a series of opening activities, including free traditional Chinese medicine consultations, cultural lectures, and more, attracting a large number of customers and traditional Chinese medicine enthusiasts. Every corner of the store exudes a strong cultural atmosphere, with attention to detail evident in the decorations and displays.
Gu Chenyu and Su Jinyu busily shuttle around the store, engaging with customers, and sharing their knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine and culture. Seeing the customers' interest and enthusiasm for traditional Chinese medicine culture, they feel satisfied and proud in their hearts.
As time passed, their traditional Chinese medicine shop gradually became a cultural landmark in the area, attracting not only a large number of regular customers but also becoming an important platform for promoting traditional Chinese medicine culture.
