Chapter 126 : Go to Yangcheng Again
“It’s really beautiful, what do you think?”
“It looks good, but I don’t know if it will look good on me. How much is it?”
“Bell-bottom pants are twenty-five, suits are forty, and belts and earrings are free if you buy a whole set. If you buy them individually, the price will be different.”
“It’s so expensive! This set costs almost two months’ salary.”
“It’s okay. There’s a fitting room over there. You can try it on if you like. It’s free anyway.”
Jiang Li’s words encouraged the female customer who was looking at clothes. Motivated by her companion, she went to the fitting room to try the clothes on.
The originally ordinary girl changed into the outfit and instantly transformed into the most fashionable modern girl.
Jiang Li put earrings on her and felt that something was missing yes, curly hair.
But this was enough to satisfy the female customer, who looked at herself in the mirror again and again.
“I’m going on a blind date tomorrow. I’ll look so good in this outfit. I’m already 23, and all the best female friends around me are married, leaving me behind.”
Her aunt had finally arranged a blind date with a young man from a cadre family. She had heard he was energetic and hardworking, so this time, it seemed promising.
“Boss, can you make this dress cheaper?”
Jiang Li smiled and said, “Since you brought the flyer, I’ll give you a 10% discount. The price is 58.5 yuan, so I’ll charge you 58 yuan.”
The girl hesitated for a moment but eventually gritted her teeth and bought it.
As Jiang Li was checking her out, a customer asked about the glass stockings, “Those stockings aren’t sold in the store, they’re specially given to VIP customers.”
“What kind of customer?”
“For customers who spend more than 200 yuan in the store, we give away stockings. For customers who spend more than 500 yuan, we give away other gifts.”
“Boss, does what I bought today count? If my family members come over to buy, can you put it under my name?”
“Of course, as long as we are a family. I’ll put it on your account right away. What’s your name?”
The girl, who had initially felt a bit distressed, suddenly felt much happier. She went back to tell her relatives and friends about it, encouraging them to buy things under her name. She would also get to wear white stockings, how beautiful!
“My name is Xu Lan.”
“Okay, remember, Ms. Xu, your clothes are packed for you.”
“No need to pack it, I’ll just wear it and go,” Xu Lan said admiringly in front of the mirror, reluctant to take it off.
More and more customers came to inquire about the prices. At noon, Chen Xianyun brought over lunch but found that her daughter hadn’t even had a sip of water and her throat was a little hoarse.
Feeling distressed, she quickly urged Jiang Li to sit and rest, “Whatever needs to be done, I can help with.”
Chen Xianyun was a little embarrassed at first. She was from the countryside, and all the customers were from the city, so she felt a little intimidated.
Seeing how hard Jiang Li was working, she couldn’t just stand by. If she couldn’t entertain customers, at least she could move things and iron clothes.
If it really came down to it, she could just keep an eye out and make sure nothing was taken. She did have some foresight.
The aroma from the lunchbox was mouthwatering. “Mom, are you making eggplant boxes?”
“If you like it, I’ll make more. Wang Juan, you eat too. You two have been busy all morning, and I can’t help much. Just look after the store, I can do it.”
Wang Juan felt embarrassed. Her boss paid her a salary, which was comparable to that of other factory workers. She felt too embarrassed to take a break.
“Boss, Aunt Yun, I’m not tired. I’ll finish these first before eating.”
Seeing that Wang Juan insisted, Jiang Li just let her go. She finally understood that Wang Juan was a simple child, and if you were kind to her, she would want to repay you tenfold.
For such a good employee, the best reward was her salary.
In the evening, Jiang Li went through the account books and found that the daily turnover was 1,825 yuan. She had sold more than 20 sets of clothes, and most customers had bought them in sets. Sales of hairbands and shoes were also strong.
Jiang Li gave Wang Juan today’s commission, “Today you sold eight pieces of clothes and pants, so your commission is eight yuan. I’ll pay you this first.”
Wang Juan was stunned. She hadn’t expected the commission to be higher than her salary. She made eight yuan for selling eight items today, wouldn’t that amount to more than two hundred yuan a month?
She felt a bit incredulous, and her hands were shaking as she took the money, “Boss, this much money, are you really giving it all to me?”
This was exactly what Jiang Li wanted. “Take it and buy some daily necessities. You can’t always sleep on that broken wooden board. When you save some money, you can rent a house nearby.”
Wang Juan suddenly hugged Jiang Li and burst into tears. “Boss, you are such a good person.”
If she saves for a month, she would have enough money to bring her sister over.
Listening to Wang Juan cry and talk about her family, Jiang Li’s eyes also grew red.
She was a tough person and showed no mercy to anyone who crossed her, but she was more compassionate toward her own people.
“Once you’ve saved enough money, I’ll help you contact your family and ask them to buy a ticket to bring your sister over. Remember to transfer your household registration.”
Jiang Li had heard that, besides her sister, Wang Juan’s family also included her parents and a younger brother. They didn’t seem like good people.
“In order to prevent them from becoming jealous and pestering you for money, it’s best not to tell your parents where you are at first. Just tell your sister to work and send the money she earns back to them.”
Wang Juan wiped her tears and nodded. The boss was smart and clearly deserving of her college education.
“Boss, I’ll listen to you.”
When Jiang Li first started purchasing goods, she had only 800 yuan, so she didn’t buy too much. But she didn’t expect to sell more than 20 sets in one day. Seeing that the remaining stock in the store would not last more than a week, she knew she would need to go to Guangzhou again this weekend.
This time, she was familiar with the place. Sister Hong was a little surprised when she saw Jiang Li. “It’s sold out so quickly? Not bad! What style do you want this time? Take more, your store will sell them out anyway.”
Jiang Li actually wanted to order the same batch as last time, but Sister Hong explained that those were the last batch of goods, and the manufacturer wouldn’t start up the machines just for Jiang Li’s order of 100 or 80 pieces. So, she couldn’t get that batch of goods.
“But I have some new things here, take a look.”
She showed Jiang Li a light camel-colored duffle cardigan, brown corduroy casual pants, and a plaid shirt underneath, an outfit that was both quiet and stylish.
Jiang Li also chose a pink denim jacket with lambskin, a mid-length buttoned woolen coat, and a half-high collar wool sweater thick enough to wear from late autumn to early winter.
Then she bought blue and red polka dot long skirts, along with black and white leather shoes with heels.
Jiang Li spent all the 7,000 yuan in sales revenue from the past few days in one go, and Sister Hong was delighted.
“Sister, we’re old acquaintances, so you can give me a little discount. Do you still have those glass stockings you bought last time? I’m out of stock!”
“Yes! How many do you want?” Sister Hong didn’t mind at all. Glass stockings only cost a few cents a pair, so it wouldn’t matter if she gave Jiang Li a few extra pairs.
“Give me more.”
