Chapter 37 Military Order

The shop owner had just sat down to make tea and take a break when he suddenly noticed that Zhou Shufen was still standing in front of his shop.

His expression changed instantly, a hint of panic flashing in his eyes, as if he sensed something was wrong.

He panicked and rushed out, a smile plastered on his face, his tone trying to smooth things over: "Sis, why are you standing here? We can talk this out... How am I supposed to open my shop like this?"

You're saying clothes aren't selling well?

Zhou Shufen raised the corners of her mouth slightly, her words laced with sarcasm.

"Okay, then I'll sell them for you today. I'll stand here at the door and help you unload the goods. If these goods don't sell today, I'll just stand here."

With that, she gently rolled up her sleeves, her movements swift and decisive.

Although the boss was unhappy, he really didn't expect her to come up with such a move.

He initially thought Zhou Shufen was just throwing a tantrum.

But it seems she's serious now.

But then I thought, there's no real loss. At worst, I'll just see her work go to waste.

He figured he'd just watch the show and wasn't going to bother with her anymore, so he readily nodded, turned around, went back into the shop, and leisurely waited for her to do her thing.

Zhou Shufen stood at the door, her voice loud and clear.

"Korean and European style women's clothing, all new arrivals, trendy outfits. Come and take a look if you want to be fashionable, even if you don't buy anything, you can still browse!"

Her shouts attracted many pedestrians who were out shopping to listen.

Out of curiosity, many people stepped into the shop.

The entrance became bustling with people coming and going.

As more and more people joined, she became even more energetic and motivated.

Zhou Shufen greeted everyone warmly as she tidied the clothes on the hanger.

He was like he'd been injected with adrenaline.

Just then, a mother and daughter arrived.

The daughter looked quite young and walked ahead, occasionally turning back to look at her mother.

My mother has a well-proportioned figure, but her belly is slightly protruding, and her clothes are not very fitted.

He seemed a bit reserved.

Everyone immediately noticed the curves of her waist.

"Auntie, I think this dress would suit you perfectly."

Zhou Shufen greeted her with a smile.

"Okay, then let me try one on."

I was skeptical, but still held onto a sliver of hope.

Zhou Shufen glanced around the clothes racks without stopping.

She quickly picked out the most suitable new top and handed it to the woman with a smile.

It is a fitted short-sleeved top, with a cut that fits the body's lines very well.

The short-sleeved design is simple and elegant, while the waist area is cleverly designed with some extra space.

She looked completely transformed the moment she put on this dress.

Her slightly protruding belly, which was previously barely visible, is now completely gone, and her figure appears very slender.

Especially the upper body, with clean shoulder lines and a perfectly sculpted waist.

She looks exceptionally thin, which greatly enhances her overall demeanor.

This type of tailoring style is actually very common in later generations and belongs to the basic style of everyday wear.

However, in this day and age, this style is still considered a relatively novel design.

It is said that this trend has just become popular in the south.

It attracted considerable attention as soon as it hit the market, representing the latest fashion trend.

"These clothes fit me perfectly! Quickly, get me a few more!"

The woman next to her excitedly grabbed Zhou Shufen's hand.

Seeing this, Zhou Shufen smiled slightly, then went into the storeroom and picked out a few more outfits, matching them with her one by one.

The aunt was very satisfied with every outfit she tried on.

They immediately took everything and paid the bill without hesitation.

Zhou Shufen then turned to the little girl standing next to her.

Two outfits were carefully selected for her based on her age and body type.

In the end, the two returned home laden with shopping bags.

Throughout the afternoon, the clothing store was constantly bustling with customers, and the sales conversion rate was very high.

The store sold quite a few clothes one after another.

The boss sits behind the cashier almost all day, so busy that he doesn't even have time to look up and catch his breath.

The clothes from the south were reasonably priced, well-made, and very fashionable.

It can attract people's attention at a glance.

Such products were naturally very popular with customers, and many people bought them without hesitation.

By evening, the last wave of customers had finally left.

Exhausted, Zhou Shufen plopped down in a chair.

She was almost completely collapsed, and the exhaustion on her face was obvious.

Before she could even sit down, the boss personally brought her a glass of warm water and handed it to her.

She quickly took it, took a small sip, and moistened her dry throat.

The person regained some of their strength.

"We've sold almost everything for today, so it's time to settle the accounts!"

She took a breather and, panting, steered the conversation back to the main topic.

"no problem."

The shop owner nodded.

He was well aware of Zhou Shufen's attitude on this matter, so he naturally wouldn't shirk his responsibility and immediately went inside to hand over the settlement payment to her.

"But to be honest, you're really good at doing business, sister. It's really opened my eyes."

Zhou Shufen accepted her share of the money without hesitation.

And it's not just this store.

Several nearby merchants whose sales were boosted by her also expressed their approval and handed over their due payments to her.

By the end of the day, Zhou Shufen had recovered a significant amount of debt, which made her much more financially secure.

As soon as she got home, she handed over all the money to Qin Guifang.

"Take this money and go redeem our house."

She dared not forget this matter for a moment, and the longer it dragged on, the more uneasy she felt.

"Okay, Mom, is everything alright on your end?"

Qin Guifang took the money, a hint of joy on her face.

"I'm fine. The house is a very important matter, so you can take care of it without worry. Go and come back as soon as possible, and don't let me delay things."

Zhou Shufen nodded repeatedly, listening attentively while constantly reminding the other person.

She finally finished what she was doing and felt much relieved.

The shortfall on the books was alleviated by the inflow of this money.

There is no major pressure in operating for the short term.

She no longer needs to worry about the problems she faces.

Zhou Shufen then devoted all her attention to her shop.

The fabric has now been delivered on time, and the previously stockpiled goods have been cleared.

Although it took a lot of effort, it was finally delivered on time.

The cloth shop owner who came to pick up the goods gave Zhou Shufen a thumbs up as soon as he saw her.

"Mr. Zhou, you're really something! I never expected you to actually catch up! The finished product is made without any corner-cutting, and the quality is still excellent. I'm truly amazed."

"That's for sure."

Zhou Shufen nodded with a smile.

"The most important thing in doing business is reputation and credit. You have to keep your word and do what you promise. Only then can we go far in this industry."

She spoke while checking the quantity of goods.

After confirming everything is correct, arrange for employees to move the goods out.

"This time I am truly convinced."

The boss continued to sigh.

"And your daughter-in-law even made a solemn promise in front of us that day, saying that if the delivery date was delayed, she would fully compensate us for all our losses. Your family is really audacious!"
