Xiang Nan from Daxiang Village dumped the charming son of the richest man and married a 28-year-old single leftover man who only owned three thatched huts.
Everyone waited for her to regret i...
"Oh, can you help me trim my hair?" Xie Guifang asked uncertainly, hoping not to make her look disgraceful.
Xiangnan smiled and said, "If you are not satisfied, I will stop."
Xiangnan grabbed the round-faced aunt's short curly hair, picked up the scissors and trimmed it quickly and neatly. In an instant, the short curly hair that looked a bit old-fashioned became younger.
Aunt Tang asked in surprise, "Xiangnan, you can also cut hair?"
"I just trimmed one side of her hair a little shorter to create a sense of disparity and make her face look smaller." Xiangnan explained briefly.
She didn't have time for a major overhaul. If she had really used scissors, the bangs in front of this aunt's hair would not be so curly. Unfortunately, she didn't have the tools to perm her hair.
Xiangnan put a pair of pearl earrings on Xie Guifang. She spent five dollars to buy these pearl earrings, and she never took them out.
"These earrings are so beautiful. Xiangnan, why haven't you let me wear them before?" Aunt Tang said a little jealously.
"Aunt Tang, the clothes you are wearing are not suitable for this. The earrings you usually wear are the most suitable." Xiangnan explained calmly.
Xie Guifang looked at herself in the mirror and said, "I really look much better now. Do I look younger?"
"Aunt, you're only in your forties. You look young. You've taken good care of your skin. If you wear this and go out and say you're only thirty, people will believe you."
Xie Guifang was very satisfied: "Sister Tang's recommendation is really good, I want all of them."
Xiangnan dressed up his foul-mouthed aunt again and prepared a dark red cheongsam with a small plaid pattern for her.
She was short and thin, and wearing this made her look taller and more slender. Xiangnan put a necklace with three or four circles of pearls on her neck.
When put together, the whole person looks like a rich lady on the street during the Republic of China period.
In those days, everyone in the city loved to perm their hair. Aunt Satious also had her hair permed. Xiangnan used hair oil to slick her hair smooth, sticking it close to her scalp, and did it meticulously, making her look particularly delicate.
The aunt who used to be mean-spirited stopped talking and just said, "Not bad."
He is obviously very satisfied but doesn't even know how to say a good word.
"The skirt is twenty, the necklace is ten, the hair oil is fifty cents a bottle, I'll do your hair for five, and the whole outfit design is ten, a total of forty-five fifty cents.
Aunt Tang brought it here. I'll give you forty-five cents, minus the fifty cents change."
Xiangnan asked for the price without any hesitation. Aunt Tang said that she would charge any price as long as it satisfied them.
Aunt Tang quickly said, "Okay, okay, I'll pay for Xiangnan. They're all my sisters, so I'll give each of them a piece of clothing."
Xiangnan immediately said, "Aunt Tang, if you pay, I'll waive the ten yuan design fee and charge thirty-five yuan.
The other aunt's earrings are expensive, and she charges money for a haircut, so give me thirty."
The foul-mouthed auntie's eyes almost rolled back: "How can you, a little girl, run a business? I want to charge 45, but Sister Tang only wants 35. You are deliberately trying to cheat me!"
Xiangnan chuckled: "Auntie, Sister Tang is my old customer. I am willing to waive her design fee. If you come to me to do business more often, I will waive it for you later."
Zhu Hua was so upset that she didn't know what to say.
Aunt Tang pulled Xiangnan aside and whispered, "Xiangnan, don't offend Sister Zhu Hua too much. She works at the Industry and Commerce Bureau. You're a businessman, don't offend her."
Xiangnan frowned slightly. No wonder he habitually said that her clothes were inferior. So this was an occupational disease?
She wanted to do business in the future and set up two stores. She really couldn't get on bad terms with the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, which was a very powerful department in those days.
"But don't worry. Even though she can't speak, she's not someone who holds grudges. She won't come to the countryside to interfere for no reason."
Xiangnan really wants to say that I have hundreds of stores in the county.
Xiangnan said to Zhu Hua, "Aunt Zhu used to work at the Industry and Commerce Bureau. She does need to supervise product quality issues, but she can't just start doubting people right away.
How about this, I'll give you, Aunt Zhu, a 20% off Supreme Card. You're welcome to buy my merchandise anytime and check if it's genuine."
Zhu Hua rolled her eyes and said, "If I want to check your products, I need to come and buy them. I can't just check casually."
But... she really liked the clothes Xiangnan matched for her, they were indeed beautiful.
Moreover, she had a receipt from the department store with the official seal on it, so she really couldn't check anything.
Tang Juan quickly said, "Oh, what's that 20% discount card? Does it mean I can get 20% off on clothes, Xiangnan?"
"The Supreme Card means that customers at this level can get a 20% discount. Aunt Tang, you usually buy a lot, so I will give you one as well." Xiangnan said with a smile.
Tang Juan is generous. If you are a big customer of hers, it doesn't matter to her if you give her a 20% discount. She wants to expand her customer base now.
Tang Juan can bring the ones from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, and she can also bring others.
Tang Juan's family's bricks have cooperated with many large enterprises and units in the county and city, and her own family also has good connections in the county.
Xie Guifang was not happy at the side: "They both have it. Sister Tang often buys hair from you. Sister Zhu is from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. You send it to her for supervision. What about me, the Tax Bureau?"
Xiangnan took two steps back and said, "Aunt, please forgive me. It's not easy for me to make a little money from my small business. How come you collect taxes and bring them to our village?"
Xie Guifang snorted, "Who told you not to give me the card? Anyone doing business has to pay taxes. You should at least pay 20 cents in land tax."
Xiangnan stroked his forehead and said, "Auntie, I'll give you a 20% discount card. Please stop staring at my small business. I just didn't even collect your design fee."
We must charge design fees in the future, as the tax bureau is keeping an eye on us.
The key point is that she has two storefronts, so she must pay taxes. These days, the tax bureau has the final say on how much tax to pay.
How could she not give me this 20% off card?
Xie Guifang was happy then: "You are quite kind. You really didn't make much money from this suit. I will let you go today."
Xiangnan smiled and took her hand: "Aunt, I have two shops in the county, selling some garlic sprouts, bean curd sticks and other edible vegetables. You see, the tax..."
"Go to Sister Zhu to register first, and then come to me to determine the tax." Xie Guifang said kindly, "If you give me a 20% discount, I'll give you a 20% discount too."
Xiangnan smiled and said, "Auntie, how about I give you a 50% discount after deducting the cost?"
"Don't come on, we have to follow the rules too."
Xiangnan laughed: "Okay, I know that Auntie is taking care of me. If there are clothes that are suitable for Auntie in the future, I will personally deliver them to your door and design them for free.
I will take care of your beauty! I promise to make you the most beautiful cadre in the tax bureau!"
In fact, for Xiangnan, this little tax is nothing. She was just joking. As long as she can make money, it is only natural to pay some tax. She is very aware of this.
She bargained with Xie Guifang because she wanted to get close to her. This aunt was easy to talk to, and the people in the tax bureau were all rich people, and they were all her potential customers.
