"Jiang Yue, count it. This is the sales volume in the past 20 days. We sold 58 short-sleeved shirts, 13 pairs of shorts, 6 dresses, 3 sets of women's clothing, 10 custom-made ones, a total of 611 yuan!"
Lian Rongrong took out a small account book, on which the daily sales volume, unit price and general ledger were neatly recorded.
The word "sales volume" was taught to Lian Rongrong by Jiang Yue, and she learned to read and write during the time when the store was open. When there were no customers coming to the store, Jiang Yue taught Ningning to read and learn math, and also taught Lian Rongrong to read.
Although Jiang Yue now has a very good relationship with Lian Rongrong, Mrs. Zhao, Aunt Yang and others, she is still very clear about the money matter.
Generally, she would check the goods and accounts once a week. Jiang Yue knew better than anyone that brothers should settle accounts clearly.
"Rongrong, thank you for your hard work during this period!" After settling the accounts, Jiang Yue left some pocket money for Lian Rongrong. The largest denomination now is ten yuan, and people use more banknotes in their daily lives.
"It's not hard!" Lian Rongrong said with a smile: "You gave me a job so that I can earn money on my own. I can't thank you enough!"
Lian Rongrong was speaking from the heart. Ever since she opened a shop with Jiang Yue, her life has become much more fulfilling and she no longer has any wild thoughts about not being able to be with Jun.
She was not tired at all when she went to the store to sell clothes during the day. After all, only a few people could afford to buy ready-made clothes these days. Except for the first few days of opening, she usually only had a dozen or twenty customers a day.
In her free time, she would learn to read and keep accounts with Jiang Yue. When she was tired, she could take a break and then use the sewing machine to make autumn clothes.
For a short-sleeved T-shirt, Jiang Yue paid one yuan for the work, and raised the price to one yuan and fifty cents for a long-sleeved one. Not only Lian Rongrong, but also Mrs. Zhao has been very motivated recently.
They all witnessed the success of Jiang Yue's store with their own eyes, and saw that Jiang Yue earned money in less than three months that an average person could not earn in several years. They now admire Jiang Yue to the core.
So after exchanging pleasantries with Jiang Yue, Lian Rongrong quickly told Jiang Yue exactly what she had just heard the three idiots say at the door of Li Hongying's house.
"Jiang Yue, you have to be careful. The idiot Li Hongying has been spreading rumors about you and Captain Gu recently. Now your old woman has been involved. Although we all know what kind of people you and Captain Gu are, I'm afraid that the rumors will eventually become true!"
"Don't worry, they won't be able to jump around for a few more days!" Jiang Yue narrowed her eyes.
When Gu Ye returned home in the evening, Jiang Yue told him the conversation between Li Hongying and Jiang's mother that Lian Rongrong had heard. Although what these two stupid people did was not very harmful, it was indeed a bit disgusting.
Jiang Yue understood it all. The reason why Jiang's mother didn't want Gu Ye to be discharged from the army was that she had her eyes on Gu Ye's salary as the regiment leader. Jiang's mother dared to ask for eighteen thousand yuan, and Li Hongying must have been instigating her behind the scenes.
"Gu Ye, where does Li Hongying get the confidence to report you?" Not only Zhao's wife, but also Rongrong and the others couldn't figure it out, Jiang Yue didn't understand either.
Gu Ye did not answer. Jiang Yue looked up and saw that Gu Ye was distracted. This was an extremely rare phenomenon.
"Gu Ye? Gu Ye!" Jiang Yue called Gu Ye twice again and waved her hands in front of him.
"Huh? What did you say?" Gu Ye blinked and came back to his senses.
"What are you thinking about? So absorbed?" For a moment, Jiang Yue keenly noticed a sharp and cold light flashing across Gu Ye's eyes.
"Oh, thinking about the group. Sorry, I didn't hear what you just said." Gu Ye curled his lips slightly, his eyes gentle, "Say it again!"
Jiang Yue saw that Gu Ye looked the same as usual and didn't think much about it. Gu Ye had been away for nearly three months and there was indeed a lot of work piled up in the group waiting for him to come back to deal with. Maybe something in the group distracted him.
They just got home yesterday afternoon, and Gu Ye only rested for a while before going to the group.
Today, Gu Ye only came back for a while during lunch, and then went back to the group in the afternoon to deal with some things. Jiang Yue was worried that he couldn't handle it.
"Gu Ye, are you feeling unwell somewhere? Does your head still hurt? Let me rub it for you." Jiang Yue stood up, put her slender hands on Gu Ye's head, and massaged him gently.
When he was in the hospital before, Gu Ye would feel dizzy and have headaches, and Jiang Yue would give him gentle massages to relieve the symptoms.
"I'm fine, take a rest!" Gu Ye pulled Jiang Yue's hand down, hugged her, let her sit on his lap, smelled the fragrance on Jiang Yue's body, and asked: "Did you just ask about Li Hongying?"
"Yeah." Jiang Yue hooked her hands around Gu Ye's neck. She felt distressed by Gu Ye's tiredness. She wondered whether she should go to the county hospital tomorrow to see Dr. Fang and ask if there were any medicinal foods that could nourish the body.
"What? Li Hongying was instructed by someone?" Jiang Yue was shocked when she heard Gu Ye's words. But after being shocked, Jiang Yue felt that this could explain where Li Hongying got the confidence from.
There must be someone backing her up. This person must have promised Li Hongying great benefits, which allowed Li Hongying to disregard Chen Baozhu's future and go over her head to sue the regiment commander.
Seeing how confident Li Hongying is, it seems that this person's status is definitely not low. He may be at the same level as Gu Ye, or even higher.
However, Jiang Yue felt that the possibility of a higher rank was slim, as the only people with a higher rank than Gu Ye here were the division commander, the division political commissar, and the division chief of staff.
"Who is it?" Jiang Yue couldn't help but become curious.
Gu Ye said a name that Jiang Yue didn't know, and Gu Ye told her not to tell anyone.
Jiang Yue knew without Gu Ye's instructions that this kind of thing must not be leaked.
As for Jiang's mother spreading rumors about Jiang Yue, Gu Ye told Jiang Yue not to worry and that they would deal with it when the time came.
Jiang Yue naturally believed Gu Ye. She cleaned the house thoroughly these past few days and also swept the yard, making the courtyard clean and tidy again.
The leaves and branches of the rose had dried up due to lack of water. Jiang Yue wanted to pull them out, but there were too many thorns on the rose and she was afraid of getting pricked, so she thought about waiting for Gu Ye to come back and see if she could borrow a pair of gardening shears so that she could cut the thorns first and then pull them out.
In the morning, Jiang Yue would ride a bike with Ningning to the county town. After buying vegetables, they would go to the clothing store to check out the shop. It was almost the end of August, so Jiang Yue discussed with Lian Rongrong about preparing to have a summer clearance sale, with a 30% discount on one piece and a 50% discount on two pieces. They sold the remaining more than 100 short-sleeved shirts.
"Jiang Yue, I don't think this is a good idea!" Lian Rongrong objected. "If you clear out your inventory now, people who bought before will be psychologically unbalanced! I think we should not clear out the inventory. You also said that these styles are not outdated. If we can't sell them this year, we can keep them and sell them slowly next year. What do you think?"
Jiang Yuejing was reminded by Lian Rongrong and she also thought it made sense. People's living conditions are generally difficult now, unlike in later times. Even if her target customers are those people in the city who have a good salary and a good family condition, they would not like to see that the clothes they bought for five yuan were bought by others for only two and a half yuan.
There are always some people who come to make trouble because of this.
"Okay, Rongrong, I'll listen to you. We won't do a clearance sale. In a few days, when the weather gets a little cooler, we'll start selling fall clothes and have a discount on the new fall clothes!"
