Chapter 107 The First Customer Arrives

With doubts in her mind, Liu Rong became extra careful.

His eyes almost never left Rong Mei.

Everything in the store was almost tidy last night, so all I had to do in the morning was wipe the windows, mop the floor, and iron the items that hadn't been hung up yet.

It only took the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law more than an hour to finish the job.

There was no busy work in the store for the time being, so the two of them naturally had some free time. Rong Mei began to tidy herself up again, putting on makeup for herself while also teaching Liu Rong how to do it herself.

Liu Rong followed Rong Mei's instructions and put on her makeup in front of the mirror.

Unfortunately, when I was drawing my eyebrows, either my hands or my eyebrows were shaking, and I successfully drew my eyebrows into a centipede, long and twisted.

She even laughed at herself.

"Forget it, my hand won't obey me, so I'll just leave it like this from now on." After trying twice and still getting the same result, Liu Rong simply gave up.

Rong Mei had already finished her makeup. She took the eyebrow pencil from Liu Rong and started to draw it for her.

Encouraging her, "It's okay, you'll get it after drawing a few more times. You'll be the owner of the Parkview Clothing Store in the future, so you have to look pretty every day."

The name of this clothing store was chosen by Liu Rong herself. Rong Mei did not participate in the discussion of the name, and the final decision was made by Liu Rong alone.

Liu Rong was instantly amused by Rong Mei's words, "What boss lady? You're teasing me. I've been a peasant for most of my life."

Rong Mei chuckled, "If the serfs don't rise up, they will sing. In the future, I will be the boss's wife anyway."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were playing while painting.

Just then, a middle-aged woman with fashionable curly hair walked in from outside the store, carrying a small leather bag and wearing low-heeled leather shoes.

At first glance, you can tell that he lives a comfortable petty bourgeoisie life.

Upon seeing this, Rong Mei immediately put down her pen, stopped Liu Rong's frolicking, and took two steps forward to greet the first customer.

With an enthusiastic smile on her face, she said, "Sister, take a look around. Our store just opened for trial operation today. All the clothes we have now are new models. If you like something, I can give you a number to try on for free. Look, there is a fitting room over there."

As he spoke, he pointed in the direction of the fitting room for people to see.

The middle-aged woman first looked in the direction Rong Mei pointed, then raised her eyes and looked at Rong Mei.

Inevitably I was shocked.

Her eyes were focused on the clothes in the store and she didn't notice Rong Mei's appearance at all.

She suppressed her surprise and pointed to the outfit on the model in the window with a smile, "Is there anything I can wear?"

She was attracted by the dress in the window, but she couldn't fit into the one on the model.

She was about to give up because she realized that when she walked in, all the clothes in the store were very nice-looking, and she could have other options if she couldn't fit into that set.

Just then Rong Mei walked towards her and said she could try it on. Only then did she become interested again.

"Yes, of course we have it, but whether you want a dress or a suit, or a set, we match them ourselves. They can be separated or put together." Rong Mei nodded with a smile, and then patiently explained to the middle-aged woman.

The middle-aged woman nodded in enlightenment and smiled at Rong Mei, "Is that so? Then give me a set to try."

Rong Mei responded, "Okay, sister." She turned to Liu Rong and said, "Mom, get this sister a medium-sized set to try on."

After hearing this, Liu Rong immediately moved and entered the warehouse.

She was almost the only one who sorted the goods. Liu Rong knew exactly which style was where. It only took a moment for Liu Rong to come out with the clothes.

Rong Mei took it and put the clothes in order before handing it to the middle-aged woman. She smiled and said, "Sister, take it in and try it on."

After the middle-aged woman went in, Liu Rong and Rong Mei waited outside.

Rong Mei was fine, she was doing her own thing and putting all the cosmetics she had just taken out into her bag.

Liu Rong's eyes never left the fitting room that the middle-aged woman entered, and she felt both nervous and excited.

This is my first deal, I don't know if it will work...

A few minutes passed.

The middle-aged woman came out of the fitting room.

She held up her skirt and looked left and right in the mirror.

Rong Mei immediately stepped forward to help the person adjust her collar and skirt, flattering her and chatting with her with a smile, "Sister, you have a really good taste. This dress looks so beautiful on you. It just matches your elegant temperament. Which unit do you work for? You must be working in a government unit, right?"

Everyone likes to hear nice words. The middle-aged woman was naturally very happy to be praised by Rong Mei.

The middle-aged woman looked at herself in the mirror and was very satisfied with the clothes. "Forget it. I work at the Civil Affairs Bureau."

After that, he asked the most crucial question, "How much does this suit cost?"

Rong Mei still had a smile on her face as she told the middle-aged woman the prices one by one. "Sister, the clothes here are all clearly marked with prices. We don't raise the price or bargain. The top you are wearing is 79, the skirt is 59, and the bottom inside is 18. The total price for the whole set is 156."

One hundred and fifty-six?

Is it expensive?

It is too expensive for ordinary people, equivalent to more than one month's salary for ordinary people.

Are you willing to spend more than a month's or nearly two months' salary to buy a set of clothes?

Of course, some people are reluctant to give up, but there are also people who are willing to give up.

It depends on the person. There is no shortage of rich people or generous people in any era.

This is the same reason why some people in later generations are willing to spend several months' salary to buy a bag.

People who don’t understand think that this person is sick. What kind of family is that? Buying a bag can’t be eaten, so why does he buy it just to satisfy his own “vanity”?

"No discount at all?" The middle-aged woman was not stupid. She would give as much as the man asked and would still try to bargain.

"No bargaining, the price is what it is. We treat every customer equally." Rong Mei explained with a smile.

This was something she and Liu Rong had discussed early in the morning.

Just go by the pricing, this way it will be easier to manage people uniformly when hiring, and also because I don't want to have to haggle too much with people.

If you have the leisure time, there is no need to rent a shop. You can just go from street to street and set up a stall. When you see a fat sheep, grab it.

Moreover, different prices will disrupt the market and cause dissatisfaction among customers. If customers who want to buy the same clothes meet and discuss privately and each offers a different price, wouldn’t that offend the one who paid the most?

The middle-aged woman frowned, as if she was considering it.

Rong Mei would never give anyone too much time to think, "Sister, look at this material, it's cashmere, not only has a nice texture, but the style is also slimming. You haven't even ironed this outfit, yet it looks so stylish. And look at the style, I guarantee it won't go out of style even after wearing it for ten or eight years. This kind of stuff in a department store is definitely at least twenty yuan more expensive than ours. Besides, as women, we should treat ourselves better and be willing to invest in ourselves..."

When buying things, you have to strike while the iron is hot, otherwise after the heat has passed and you calm down, you may really calm down.
