Chapter 269 Breakthrough

He Yuzhu was a little surprised to see Li Xiangqian's reaction, but he still insisted on his point of view: "Xiangqian, I am not forcing you, I just hope you can have better development. You have to understand that such opportunities don't come every day."

Li Xiangqian's face turned ugly. He felt that he was misunderstood. He turned to the door, turned his back to He Yuzhu, and said, "Brother He, I need some time to think about it. Let's talk about this later."

Seeing this, He Yuzhu sighed and stood up: "Okay, Xiang Qian, think about it carefully. But don't forget, I'm doing this for your own good."

After He Yuzhu left, Li Xiangqian felt extremely depressed. He knew that He Yuzhu was doing this for his own good, but he was in a difficult mood to accept these suggestions. He felt a deep sense of powerlessness and confusion, and didn't know how to get out of this predicament.

In the evening, Li Xiangqian returned home and saw Qin Huairu busy. He walked over and said softly, "Huairu, I had a quarrel with Brother He today."

Qin Huairu stopped what she was doing and asked with concern, "What's going on? Haven't you always had a good relationship?"

Li Xiangqian shook his head helplessly: "Brother He suggested that I move the barber shop to a new shopping mall, saying that there are better development opportunities there. I know he is doing this for my own good, but I really don't know what to do now."

Qin Huairu looked at Li Xiangqian and said gently, "Xiangqian, what are you thinking? Have you ever considered your own feelings?"

Li Xiangqian lowered his head and sighed: "Huai Ru, I feel very confused. I don't know if I can really do things well, and I don't know if this choice is the right one."

Qin Huairu held Li Xiangqian's hand and said firmly: "Xiangqian, no matter what decision you make, I will support you. You don't need to lose yourself for the expectations of others. What matters is what you think in your heart."

Li Xiangqian felt Qin Huairu's support and felt warm in his heart. He knew that he needed to calm down and think carefully about the future direction.

In the next few days, Li Xiangqian kept thinking about this problem. He gradually began to understand that he should not give up his pursuit of the future because of temporary confusion. He decided to go to the new mall to see the actual situation.

One morning, Li Xiangqian said to Qin Huairu, "Huairu, I decided to go to the new mall to take a look and learn about the situation. No matter what the final decision is, I want to give it a try."

Qin Huairu smiled and nodded: "Okay, go forward, I'll go with you."

When they arrived at the new mall and saw the prosperous scene there, Li Xiangqian was shocked. He began to seriously consider the possibility of opening a store here and had a detailed discussion with the mall's management.

After returning home, Li Xiangqian and Qin Huairu sat in the yard and discussed their findings. Li Xiangqian felt his inner confusion gradually dissipate, and he knew that he had found the answer.

"Huairu, I have decided to accept this opportunity and move the store to the new shopping mall." Li Xiangqian said firmly.

Qin Huairu smiled and nodded: "Go forward, I believe you can do it. No matter what difficulties we encounter, we will face them together."

Li Xiangqian felt Qin Huairu's support and was full of confidence. He knew that although the road ahead was full of challenges, with Qin Huairu by his side, he would be able to overcome all difficulties and realize his dream.

Qin Huairu gradually adapted to the new store in the mall. Their life was busy but fulfilling. However, Li Xiangqian's inner confusion had not completely dissipated. He knew he was working hard, but the form did not seem obvious. Although their store had some regular customers, it was still inferior to other barbershops in large malls.

One day, Li Xiangqian heard some news about Xu Damao in the mall. Xu Damao was another resident of the courtyard. He was always smart and capable. Recently, he was heard to have made a lot of money in other places and opened a large beauty salon. This news made Li Xiangqian feel a little uneasy.

After returning home, Li Xiangqian was in a heavy mood. Qin Huairu noticed his abnormality and asked with concern: "Xiangqian, what happened today? You seem to be worried."

Li Xiangqian sighed, sat down and said to Qin Huairu: "Huairu, I heard today that Xu Damao made a lot of money outside and opened a large beauty salon. In comparison, I feel that what I have done is far from enough."

Qin Huairu held his hand and said softly, "Go forward. Everyone has his own way. You have done very well. Don't always compare yourself with others. What's important is that you are worthy of your efforts and hard work."

Li Xiangqian nodded, but the uneasiness in his heart still existed. He knew that Qin Huairu was right, but facing the pressure of reality, he still felt confused and powerless.

A few days later, Li Xiangqian ran into Xu Damao in the mall. Xu Damao was dressed in a well-fitting suit and looked very energetic. When he saw Li Xiangqian, he smiled and said hello: "Hey, Xiangqian, I heard that you also opened a store here, how is your business?"

Li Xiangqian forced a smile and replied, "Not bad, slowly accumulating customers."

Xu Damao nodded, with a bit of pride in his tone: "My beauty salon has just opened not long ago, and business is booming. If you have the chance, you can come and visit and learn from me."

Li Xiangqian felt uncomfortable, but he still said politely: "Okay, I'll definitely go and see it if I have the chance."

After Xu Damao left, Li Xiangqian stood alone in the corridor of the mall, feeling mixed emotions. He felt as if he was caught in an invisible competition and didn't know how to surpass it. He knew that he needed to find a new direction and breakthrough.

Back at the store, Li Xiangqian began to think about how to make his store stand out. He decided not to blindly imitate others, but to find his own characteristics. After careful consideration, he thought of adding some unique services on top of haircuts, such as personalized styling design and scalp care, which would not only attract more customers, but also improve the overall level of the store.

In the evening, Li Xiangqian told Qin Huairu about this idea. Qin Huairu's eyes flashed with joy after hearing it: "Xiangqian, this is a good idea! Nowadays, people pay more and more attention to their personal image and health. Your services will definitely be popular."

Li Xiangqian felt Qin Huairu's support and was motivated. He began to make a detailed plan, purchase the necessary equipment and products, and contacted some experienced stylists and beauticians. He hoped that these new services would attract more customers and improve the competitiveness of the store.
