Inside the courtyard.
Niu Aihua and others were discussing the type of dance to rehearse.
The altered garments were already laid out on the table.
Niu Aihua: "Sisters, shouldn't we be a little bolder with our dance this time?"
With a slightly embarrassed expression, she said, "I've heard the news the store has released; many people come because of our reputation."
Shi Qiaofeng shook her head: "Isn't that inappropriate, Sister Niu? Now that we're doing something serious, let's not do anything outrageous, shall we?"
Zhu Zhaodi noticed that everyone was looking at her.
After all, she was the oldest, and everyone, intentionally or unintentionally, regarded her as the eldest sister.
"Sister Shi, the second manager has already said that all we need to do is rehearse one dance."
"Wait, if it's alright, little sister, can I call you Sister Feng from now on? It feels weird to call you by your surname."
Shi Qiaofeng suddenly realized and nodded: "I'll listen to you, sister."
"Have you forgotten? When we spoke to him before, he seemed like a different person. He suddenly became serious, quite different from when he angrily rebuked Granny Jia at the Pavilion of Beauties."
Niu Aihua nodded.
"He seems to have said that when working, one should address others by their job titles."
Zhu Zhaodi nodded and said helplessly, "Yes, don't forget that our indenture is still in his hands. You can tell from the way he addresses us."
He is not a superficial person who is simply indulging in beauty.
When he was writing the storybook, it was the teacher.
When the shop was opened, I was the shopkeeper.
He took our indentures not just to admire our beauty, but also because the sisters are all a bit older.
This is true.
That's the goal—
Make money for the store!
Peaceful words have made people have mixed feelings about Chen Xian.
Merchants who only care about profit.
Where is the gentle and refined scholar he once was?
An ordinary, unremarkable thing.
Her public image has completely collapsed; it's unbearable to watch.
Niu Aihua picked up the clothes, put them on, and said inexplicably, "Sister Zhu, look, isn't the neckline a bit too low?"
Shi Qiaofeng asked in confusion, "What does the second manager mean? Why don't we just go and ask him directly?"
Zhu Zhaodi sighed.
"I understand, listen to me."
A qualified and mature employee doesn't need to ask for clarification on every single matter.
It will annoy the people above.
They think we're too stupid.
Listen to me, I think I already know what he means…
...
Some of the shop assistants were already standing at the door inquiring about the prices of the ready-made clothes over there.
Uncle Fu sent someone to secretly check the styles of the ready-made clothes in that shop.
The more I looked, the more my eyelids twitched.
A very familiar style.
Shui Sheng leaned closer to the fabric and rubbed it vigorously with his fingers. He said uncertainly, "Shopkeeper, is it just my imagination? This fabric of theirs seems no different from the ready-made clothes we buy. Or am I just bad at judging?"
After a while, the young shop assistants in the shop began to whisper among themselves.
Uncle Fu chuckled and pointed to the Chinese characters on the collar of the clothes: Song.
“Brother, see this? This is the mind of a true business savvy person. They take other people’s products and put their own label on them.”
The shop assistant came in from outside and said, "Their ready-made clothes are said to be designed by a master tailor. The minimum price is three taels of silver, but there's a 10% discount for the new store opening. They also have higher prices, four taels of silver."
Uncle Fu: "Good heavens, the Song family's ready-made clothes are almost as expensive as those in the city's shops."
"Brother, do you think anyone will buy it at such a high price?"
Chen Xian shook his head, "It's hard to say. Nowadays, people are only drawn to the Song family's brand. They don't even look at or understand the quality of the fabric. They're completely obsessed, as if their high prices are just normal."
"After all, the Song family's status as a powerful clan in the southern prefecture can be easily investigated."
It cannot be faked.
Even the southern prefecture can accept this style and price; if you don't, you're a heretic.
They have a problem with their judgment.
When everyone is engrossed in the moment, even if there's only one person who's truly clear-headed, if you dare to say that this brand is bad, just an ordinary pair, not as good as the cheap one from the shop next door, it means you're a bumpkin, a country bumpkin.
If someone sells something at a higher price, they naturally have their own unique selling points. If you can't see that, then the problem lies with you.
Being able to spend three taels of silver to buy a set of clothes basically meant you were from a wealthy family.
How could I be looked down upon like this?
Thus, a massive, numb scam was formed.
After hearing Chen Xian's words, Uncle Fu's expression turned serious.
He instructed, "Everyone, be on your best and be in top form for the new garment exhibition in seven days."
We don't have much time left.
This is probably the biggest challenge the clothing shop has ever faced, completely incomparable to the previous incidents of men coming to their home to cause trouble.
Chen Xian shook his head, "Brother Fu, I may have dragged the clothing shop into the abyss. I never expected that this guy would act so quickly and be so well-informed."
After everything that's happened, the clothing store may be facing its biggest competitor yet.
Uncle Fu sneered as he looked outside at the bustling waiters trying to attract customers.
"Don't worry, I don't blame you. Selling ready-made clothes was something you and I discussed a long time ago."
We made the decision a long time ago, so what's there to feel guilty about?
Ha, be bolder! If we really bring the Song family down, shouldn't we announce to everyone:
Think before you buy things. Big brands don't necessarily mean good products, and cheap, low-quality products are always garbage.
