Chapter 458: Broken Hand
"Don't worry, you won't have time to be nervous when things get busy." Lin Xia understood a little. After all, she had just been appointed as the manager of the clothing store. When Lin Xia was not around, she would be in charge.
The other girl was from Guangcheng. Her family favored boys over girls, so she didn’t get a formal job and had to find a job on her own.
When I saw Wu Xiaomeng said she was nervous, her face was full of worry and expectation.
There are many photos that Lin Xia had taken before, as well as various magazine photos that she collected, on the walls around the store. They show all kinds of popular outfits and styles from the other side of the strait. The most obvious thing is that everyone has exquisite makeup on their face.
There was no other way. There were no cameras at that time, and Lin Xia didn't dare to set up an open counter for people to try out the products like in later generations, otherwise it would be thrown away if not used within a minute.
On that day, people passing by the intersection, whether pedestrians or people sitting on the bus, all saw a painting of a beautiful woman on the tall advertising wall on the side of the road.
The beauty has skin as white as snow and wears a beautiful red dress. She is applying lipstick on her lips, but her eyes glance seductively at all passers-by, as if everyone's gaze disturbs her.
Everyone looked at the words next to it, and saw a few large characters on it: "Not to seduce anyone, just to protect beauty - Hua Xiangrong Cosmetics"
Passersby could stop and look, but people on the bus could only turn their heads and take a look.
There was a small line of words at the bottom of the picture, which contained the address of the cosmetics store.
Several women looked at the beauty painting for a long time, and they were eager to own the lipstick in the beauty's hand in the painting. They saw that the address of the store was on the street next to them.
"Do you want to go and take a look?" someone asked the person next to him for his opinion. If he went, he would be late for work and would definitely lose the advanced work award.
"I'll go after get off work. I can't be late for work." Some people resist the temptation and think that work is more important.
After these words were spoken, everyone had no choice but to hold back.
"Then let's get off work?"
"Then we agreed to come after get off work. You can't sneak in to buy it!"
They have to buy together. No one can buy first, otherwise they will be the first to be in the spotlight in the factory, and if they fall behind, they will become followers.
"Aren't we working in the same workshop?" someone reminded.
"That's right, let's go! We'll be late!"
A few people looked at the advertising wall reluctantly, suppressed their eagerness and went to work.
There are many such scenes, especially for those who catch a glimpse of a beauty on the bus. They feel very itchy, but the bus has already passed by and they can't stop even if they shout at the driver.
Lin Xia was in the store with three people. Since eight o'clock in the morning, no one was seen coming in.
Lin Xia smelled the aroma of rice rolls outside the store, greeted the two people, and followed the smell.
She had eaten breakfast, but she was hungry again.
The stall looks simple, but the stall owner makes rice noodle rolls made with cloth, which are often seen in Xiguan. The rice paste is steamed on cloth, and it tastes soft and sticky.
Lin Xia ate a bowl of rice rolls at the stall with great satisfaction before preparing to go back to the store.
I found it very lively inside before I even entered the store.
The store was full of women. Lin Xia didn't expect customers to come so quickly. She saw that although Wu Xiaomeng and Xiaoqiu were a little nervous, they were still able to stand their ground and entertain customers in an orderly manner.
Lin Xia placed a row of mirrors on the counter and also installed a number of mirrors on the surrounding walls, just for customers to use to admire their beauty.
Every customer can try on the colors for free, and they help customers try on the colors, which is equivalent to the sales clerks in later generations.
After a busy morning, around noon, the women who were shopping outside went home to cook, and Lin Xia and the others could finally take a break.
Xiaoqiu's hands were so sore that she could only use a spoon to eat her lunch: "I was nervous that no one would come in the morning, but now I hope there won't be so many people in the afternoon."
After Xiaoqiu said this, Wu Xiaomeng poked her arm. She looked over and saw Wu Xiaomeng giving her a look.
Xiao Qiu finally realized that she had said in front of her boss that she hoped there would be fewer customers, and her face suddenly became flustered.
Lin Xia didn't mind this, she knew Xiao Qiu was just sighing.
"Hurry up and eat! You won't be able to eat if someone comes later." Seeing this, Wu Xiaomeng quickly changed the subject.
Lin Xia nodded. This is how service industry people are. It is easy for them to be late for meals. "When we recruit salespeople later, you can take turns eating. You don't have to worry so much."
"That's great!" The two were delighted when they heard that.
The three of them were eating when they heard footsteps at the door. When they looked up, they saw two girls coming in arm in arm.
Wu Xiaomeng was about to stand up when she heard Lin Xia put down the bowl and said, "It's okay, I'll go."
Lin Xia had eaten rice rolls before, so she didn’t feel hungry that quickly. She just ate half a bowl of rice and that was enough.
"Hello, what would you like to order?" The store not only sells lipsticks, but also some Anmei products, but most people come to the store today to buy lipsticks.
The two girls with pigtails looked at each other. They were surprised to see that Lin Xia, a salesperson, was so beautiful, but the color of lipstick on her lips was exactly what they wanted.
Seeing that the two of them were silent, Lin Xia smiled faintly and introduced them softly: "We are opening a new store. This is the lipstick we mainly promote. You can try it first to see if you like it."
"Can I try it?" The two were surprised. They didn't expect that they could actually try it.
"Of course you can. How can you know if it's suitable for you if you don't try it?" Lin Xia opened the trial package for them. "Should I apply it to you or do you want to try it yourself?"
One of them who seemed to be more courageous stepped forward and said, "Then let me try first."
"Okay, then come closer." Lin Xia smiled and stretched out her hand, motioning her to put her chin on her hand.
Seeing that she had an outgoing personality and a generous appearance, Lin Xia tried the tomato red color on her. After applying it, she pointed to the mirror next to her and said, "Take a look to see if you like it."
Then he looked at another girl who looked quieter and more shy: "It's your turn."
Lin Xia chose a gentle red bean paste color for her, which was more suitable for her temperament. "You two have different colors, and this color suits you better."
When another girl heard this, she turned around immediately and exclaimed after seeing her appearance: "Xiao Jing, this color looks great on you too! It suits you so well!"
The girl named Xiaojing smiled a little embarrassedly when she heard this, and unconsciously stole a glance at herself in the mirror. She liked it very much and smiled gently, "Then I'll buy this."
"Sister, which color do you think suits me?" The lively little girl called Lin Xia sweetly.
She really liked both colors, and when she saw that her friend had already chosen one, she suddenly felt she had difficulty making a decision.
"You can also wipe it off your mouth and try this color." There were not many people around at the moment, so Lin Xia wanted to let them try it themselves so that they wouldn't complain about not liking it.
"Is it okay?" The girl's eyes lit up. She didn't expect she could try it this way.
"Tissue." Before Lin Xia could hand over the tissue, she saw the girl in front of her had already touched her mouth with her hand, making the area around her mouth red. "Wipe the area quickly."
"Would you like to try this color?" Lin Xia looked at the girl named Xiaojing.
Xiao Jing shook her head. She liked the color of her lips. It wasn’t so flashy or eye-catching. If it was too red she would be afraid of being stared at.
When the lively girl tried the bean paste color on her lips, she felt that it was not as pretty as the first color. She preferred the one that could be seen at a glance.
Lin Xia observed her expression and could tell her preference from her face. She smiled and said, "I think the first color suits you better."
"You think so too, right?" The girl's eyes lit up, as if she had found a sense of identity, "Then I'll take the first color!"
