Chapter 224 Sister Pan
Today is September 1st, the day for school registration. Autumn is coming soon, and the entire Hongyu Wholesale City has already put out autumn clothes, whether for men, women or children.
Hongyu Wholesale City is currently the largest clothing wholesale market. Most of the clothing businesses in surrounding provinces and cities come here to purchase goods.
Early in the morning, the entire wholesale city was bustling with people, each carrying one or several huge black plastic bags filled with freshly wholesaled clothes.
Next to Zhong Li is a women's clothing store that specializes in sweaters. There are many samples hanging in the store, including pullovers, cardigans, long and short styles, of all kinds.
Sweaters sell well as they can be worn when the weather gets cold, either as a base layer or as outerwear. Therefore, the store is bustling with people and business is booming.
Zhong Li stood there all morning, and the customers who came to wholesale would turn their heads and glance at them. When they saw that they were selling cheongsams, they left without any interest.
Zhong Li hadn't even uttered the words of sales pitch yet. The wholesale market usually does business in the morning. As the morning wore on and fewer and fewer people came, Zhong Li became so anxious that she wanted to jump up and down.
Yi Mei, the young girl who runs the store with Zhong Li, also hung her head. She was so miserable. She couldn't make it through the previous store, and judging from the situation of this store, it was estimated that this store would not be open for long.
Oh, where can she find a job? Yi Mei twisted her fingers, feeling depressed.
"Girl, your cheongsams are so beautiful. Let me see if there is anything I can wear." The proprietress next door was a middle-aged woman with a round face and looked very wealthy.
There were not many people in the store at this moment, so he leaned over to look at Zhong Li.
"Yes, we have a lot of codes." Zhong Li cheered up.
"I'm not doing wholesale, can you just buy one that I can wear?" The proprietress asked cautiously. They were all doing wholesale and didn't know the rules, but she really liked it.
Even though no orders had been placed all day, someone was willing to buy one. Zhong Li forced a smile and agreed to sell it.
Since it was from next door, it was considered a good seller, so Zhong Li simply sold it to her at the wholesale price of 22 yuan.
"Thank you, sister." The proprietress picked out a dark purple crocheted cheongsam and couldn't let it go. "I've wanted to try a cheongsam for many years, but my figure is like it's deflated after giving birth. I can't lose weight anymore."
"This size looks good on me, so I'll try it on." The proprietress walked into the fitting room with a smile.
She quickly put it on and said, "I can wear it. It looks really good. It just makes my belly a little bit obvious, but that's okay. I'm good enough as long as I can fit into it with my figure."
The proprietress looked plump, but she had a plump beauty in her cheongsam. Zhong Li complimented her casually, then turned and saw the white knitted cardigan in her shop and said, "It'll look good with a cardigan when the weather gets cold."
"Then let me try it." The proprietress was very surprised and immediately asked the girl in the store to take down the sweater. Once she put it on, it really looked good.
"It has a special feeling from the Republic of China era. It's called, oh, yes, retro." The proprietress kept looking at herself in the mirror.
"Girl, your cheongsam is beautiful, but it was put on the shelves too late. If it had been put on the shelves earlier, it would have sold better." The proprietress said with some regret, "If you come to my store to buy knitwear in the future, I'll sell you some."
"Thank you, sister." Zhong Li said gratefully.
"Just call me Sister Pan. We're neighbors, so it's just a matter of saying it." Sister Li said readily.
On the first day of opening, Ms. Pan from next door bought one. Zhong Li encouraged herself, saying that she would be able to sell it eventually.
