Chapter 172 Want to Open a Store

Shen Guannan put his arm around her shoulders and said, "Anyway, this kind of thing won't happen to me."

Lin Shuyin hit him and said, "What do you think?"

Shen Guannan felt wronged. "I'm not the person involved. I don't know, wife. You can't assume that. Zhou Jianguo's cheating is definitely wrong, but your sister still went on with the divorce. Isn't it her own decision?"

Lin Shuyin pushed him away and said, "You men are just dishonest. You eat from the bowl and look at the pot."

Shen Guannan reached out and hugged her again, "Wife, don't judge everyone by one standard, at least I'm not."

Lin Shuyin felt warm in his embrace, even in such a hot summer day.

“It’s so hot,” she said.

Shen Guannan went downstairs and turned on the fan, "It's not hot with the fan on." He came over and hugged her again.

Lin Shuyin looked at him and said, "It's useless for you to hug me. I'm having my period."

Shen Guannan was helpless. "Wife, I know. I'm not that superficial. Besides, there's always a day when I didn't hold you to sleep."

That's true.

Let’s not talk about this anymore. Lin Shuyin thought about the three shops she bought. She had been busy with her graduation work in the first half of this year and had not taken care of them. Now that she has nothing to do, she can work on her side business.

Although both husband and wife have honorable jobs and decent salaries, their combined monthly salary of two hundred dollars is enough for their family to live on and some left over.

But that’s just how much.

Lin Shuyin wants to buy a car in the future so she can drive to and from get off work instead of riding a bicycle.

But in this day and age a sedan costs hundreds of thousands, which is really not cheap. Of course, it is not available in China now, and it will only be available in a few years. This is just right, she can save some money.

As a teacher at the Central Conservatory of Music, you must have style. People say that English teachers are the richest and most sophisticated among teachers, and it is true. But if you are a university teacher, it will be different.

Especially the music teacher, Lin Shuyin, has dressed herself up exquisitely every day since she started working, wearing beautiful clothes and shoes and putting on exquisite makeup.

"Guan Nan, what do you think about me opening a store?"

Shen Guannan became interested. "Open a store, what kind of store do you want to open, wife?"

It is not like the past two years when there were only a few individual business owners on the streets. Now the streets are full of them.

Lin Shuyin, "Selling Clothes"

She saw that the clothing stores on the street were doing very well. Not only the stores on the street, but even the people setting up the stalls were much older.

Shen Guannan nodded when he heard this. "It's OK to sell clothes. How much savings do we have, wife?"

Lin Shuyin: "Almost eight thousand."

Shen Guannan, "You keep one thousand, and use the rest to do business."

After hearing this, Lin Shuyin immediately went over and stuck close to him.

"My dear, you are worthy of being a staff officer. You are so decisive."

Shen Guannan was delighted by his wife's compliments, "Wife, how long will your period last?"

Lin Shuyin: ".....I'm leaving tomorrow."

"But I need to ask about the purchase of goods."

She has never done business before, but at this moment, as long as she doesn't do stupid things, even a pig can fly. It is obvious that she is smarter than a pig.

Shen Guannan, "Well, you ask, and I'll help you ask."

Lin Shuyin kissed him on the cheek and said sweetly, "Thank you, darling. I love you so much."

Shen Guannan felt more beautiful after hearing this.

He smiled and said, "Wife, I know you really love me. There are so many young, good-looking male classmates in your school who are about your age, but you only like me."

"For a while I was afraid you would change your mind, but now I know you won't."

Lin Shuyin raised an eyebrow, "Hey, I didn't expect you to have thought about it this way."

Shen Guannan, "Of course I have thought about it. I am a few years older than you, and you are so good and outstanding. There will definitely be other male classmates who like you after you enter the campus."

Lin Shuyin said seriously, "The Guannan case is just like Shuyi's boyfriend. Usually, they can't keep their hearts and restrain their behavior, so there is a chance for development with the other party."

"In fact, in this case, no matter if it's a man or a woman, as long as the person concerned keeps his or her heart safe, there will be no problem. Can anyone force you?"

Shen Guannan nodded, "That's right, some people just can't keep it."

Lin Shuyin: "It's not me anyway."

Shen Guannan smiled, "It's not me either."

He loves his wife very much and would not do anything to make her sad. And if you do this, are you a human being? You don't want your family? You don't want your wife and children.

As for Lin Shuyin, love is one thing, responsibility is another, but on the other hand, she is just plain lazy. It is so tiring to get to know a person all over again and get along with his or her parents all over again.

She is not idle. Her time is so precious. Instead of wasting it on such things, she might as well earn more money and save it for her daughter.

Sarin was also thinking about opening a shop and doing business. In fact, she had thought about it a long time ago. Now her husband has a job, so she doesn't have to do it alone.

Look at those self-employed people on the street who are doing business and making money.

She couldn't hold it in any longer and told Lin Jianshe about it.

Lin Jianshe said, "Okay, my dear wife, if you want to open a store, go ahead and open one. Just keep one thousand yuan from our family savings, and I'll let you do business with the rest."

They have more than 3,000 yuan in savings.

Sarin thought for a moment and said, "I'll discuss this with Shuyin. She also said before that if it's feasible, we can do it together."

"Okay, go talk to my sister."

Lin Jianshe is very supportive of his wife. He does not think that being a self-employed person is dishonorable or anything like that. Appearance is important, but substance is also important.

In their family, one person is enough to serve as a face.

His wife does whatever she wants.

Lin's father and mother stayed for a few days and then left. Sarin came over and talked to Lin Shuyin about opening a store. "Shuyin, do you think we should open a store?"

"I think it's easy for self-employed people to make money."

Let’s say that she and Jianshe both have jobs now, and she is the captain of a band. They don’t have many children, just one, who is grown up and there is nothing to worry about. The salary of the two of them is enough for them.

But who would complain about having too much money? She just wanted to make more money.

Lin Shuyin, "What kind of store do you think would be a good choice?"

Sarin, "Let's sell clothes and find someone to look after it. If the business is good, I will retire. If the business is not good, I will continue to work in the art troupe."

"What do you think of my plan?"

Lin Shuyin nodded, "Okay, how much money do you have?" Salin held up two fingers, "I can give you two thousand."

Lin Shuyin: "Then I'll give two thousand too."

If you don't buy a shop, four thousand yuan is enough to open a store.

The store was about to be opened, so Sarin was busy on Saturday and Sunday, and he and Lin Shuyin went to look for a shop. Of course, Lin Shuyin would not be stupid enough to recommend the shop she bought herself.

The two of them searched for a day and found a storefront in a good location, about 100 square meters, which looked very good, so they asked the landlord to rent it for a year.

Then they started the renovation. During the renovation period, the two of them were looking for sources of goods and recruiting employees. When the eldest sister-in-law Yang Caijie heard that Lin Shuyin's store was recruiting, she recommended her younger sister.

Her mother is an old woman who gave birth to a daughter. She is already 40 years old, and she has an 18-year-old sister who just graduated from high school, did not get into college, and is staying at home.

"Shuyin, your store is hiring employees, look for Caiyun. She's free at home."

Lin Shuyin smiled, "Caiyun, are you willing to do it?"

Yang Caijie groaned, "Why should I be unhappy? She's just sitting at home doing nothing. I'll bring her over tomorrow."

"Sister-in-law, let me tell you about my salary first. It's 38 yuan a month, and I have one day off. Talk to Caiyun about it."

Clothing stores do not provide food or accommodation by default.

In fact, only the hotel provides food and accommodation.

Yang Caijie heard this and said, "Okay, okay, 38 yuan a month is almost as much as my salary."

The next day, Yang Caijie brought her sister over. Lin Shuyin had met Yang Caiyun before. The little girl was pretty and well-behaved.

"Go to the store with your sister-in-law."

Yang Caiyun was more shy than her sister Yang Caijie. She nodded slightly and responded with "Yeah." Her voice was as small as a kitten.

Yang Caijie said to her, "Speak louder, kid. You're going to sell clothes in the future. How are you going to introduce them to customers like this? Be more open."

Yang Caiyun nodded, "I understand, sister."

The sound is louder than before.

Lin Shuyin is now a smooth professional. She smiled and said, "It's okay. It will be fine in time."

Yang Caijie said, "Shuyin, if she does something wrong in the future, just tell her, don't be polite."

"Go to the store with your sister-in-law. I'll take a break. I have to go to work in the afternoon."

Lin Shuyin and Yang Caiyun came to the store to take a look. The store has not been renovated yet, but it will be soon, in just a few days, and the goods have already been ordered.

The store had not been renovated yet and there was not much to do, so Yang Caiyun was allowed to get acquainted with the store and then sent back. A clothing store cannot be run by one person alone, it needs at least two people.

Saren also found one, who was introduced by her neighbor aunt. Her name is Gao Hong, and she is also eighteen years old. Compared with Yang Caiyun, Gao Hong is much more generous and less shy.

The clerks have been found, and now all that’s left is to decorate the shop and open it for business.

Salen said to Lin Shuyin, "Shuyin, before we open our store, let's go to the temple and burn some incense."

To be honest, Saran was worried about taking out 2,000 yuan to start the business. She didn't care about making much money, but just about not losing money. She was ambitious before starting the business, but now she is really scared.

Lin Shuyin: "Okay, don't worry, we won't lose anything."

Sarin, "May the Eternal Heaven bless you, may the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara bless you, may Jesus bless you, may all the gods bless you."

Lin Shuyin, "......."

In mid-August, the store was renovated and the goods arrived. The two chose an auspicious day, which was also a Sunday, and opened for business.

Shen Guannan and Lin Jianshe were afraid that they were under too much pressure, so they did not go to the store in the morning, but Shen's father and mother went to see it.

Lin Shuyin was also worried, but fortunately, she was not that anxious. In her opinion, as long as Shen Guannan and Siyu were fine, everything would be fine.

Saren couldn't do that. He didn't even eat much for breakfast and came to the store in a hurry. In order to set up a sample for the store, he asked Gao Hong and Yang Caiyun to wear the clothes in the store and also asked them to put on makeup and dress up.

The good thing about being young is that you don’t have to dress up. You just need to tidy up, comb your hair, put on new clothes, and you’ll be a pretty girl just by standing there.

Maybe it was because it was Sunday, there were still quite a lot of customers coming and going. Customers came when the store opened and set off firecrackers.

This made people nervous. Although they had been trained before, they were still a little nervous when they actually went on stage to communicate with customers. Gao Hong and Yang Caiyun told themselves that they were not afraid. It was only 38 yuan a month, so they would just do it!

Lin Shuyin and Sarin are okay, especially Lin Shuyin, who is from later times after all, so it’s no big deal for him to introduce the product.

After the four people's sincere and enthusiastic introduction, we got our first order, which was a good start. The customer might be a wealthy woman. She bought several dresses and took two, as well as two pairs of denim jackets.

"Oh my God! Shuyin, we sold four pieces in the first order!" Sarin was excited.

Lin Shuyin, "Yes, it's a good start, let's keep going."

I sold more than three hundred yuan worth of clothes in one day.

Sarin was so happy that he hugged Lin Jianshe and Nan Ding as soon as he got home and said, "Do you know how many clothes our clothing store sold today?"

The father and son shook their heads, and Sarin held up three fingers.

Forestry Construction, "Thirty"

Sarin, "It's three hundred!"

Rao was mentally prepared, but Lin Jianshe was also shocked. Selling clothes worth 300 yuan a day means he can make at least half of it after deducting the cost! 150 yuan!

Earn 150 yuan a day

He can't even make 150 RMB a month. He and his wife's monthly salary combined is less than 150 RMB!

Sarin said, "Jianshe, I know you are excited, but please don't get excited yet. We both need to stay calm and collected!" After saying that, he took a deep breath.

Lin Jianshe also took a deep breath. Nan Ding said, "Let me take one too." The family of three took a deep breath.

Sarin said, "This is what I think. If our store remains open until the end of this year and its business remains stable, I will retire from the army and focus on business."

She won't force herself to do two jobs at once, as that would be very tiring, so she focuses on one.

As the country reformed and opened up, her thinking also changed. She would no longer cling to the art troupe. If being a self-employed person could make a lot of money, she would retire from the army and become a self-employed person.

After working in the art troupe for more than ten years, it's time for her to take a break.

Lin Jianshe had no objection to his daughter-in-law's suggestion.

"Okay, wife, I support you."

If a self-employed person can earn a hundred yuan a day, then why bother going to work? Just open a store and do business. Even if you can earn three thousand yuan a month, he doesn't even make three thousand yuan in a year.

Sarin is very concerned about her store. If she doesn't have time to visit during work, she will go to the store during her lunch break. In short, she will go to the store once a day.

Lin Shuyin was also very concerned. She would go there every day before school started, but she had no time after school started.

Mr. and Mrs. Shen are fine and they go to check on them every day.

Lin's father and mother returned from Beijing and started raising the baby again. They felt that the family planning policy was a good idea, because their eldest daughter-in-law said that if there was no family planning, having another child would make up for the loss.

They really don't get to rest!

Why have so many children? If you don't take care of them, just leave them all to them. After a trip to Beijing, Lin's father and mother envied Shen's father and mother's life. It was so good. The grandchildren were all grown up and free. They could go wherever they wanted.

Lin's father and mother went for a stroll in Beijing and did not return empty-handed. They brought gifts for everyone in the family. Of course, the old couple did not need to deliver the gifts in person, so the children could come and get them themselves.

Zhou Jianguo was too busy with his business to come, so Lin Shuyi came instead, with her cousin Zhang Hongmin. Zhang Hongying's younger sister Zhang Hongmin went to college and just graduated this summer.
