Chapter 75 The Indifferent Gu Xiyue

Two days later, after the lease contract was signed, Zhou Nuan began to take care of everything in the store.

There is no need to recruit more staff, Li Baijie and Liu Miao are enough. The decoration of the shops here is relatively simple, most of them just paint the walls and display the clothes on the shelves.

Zhou Nuan believed that if she wanted to run a brand store, the interior decoration could not be too casual. After thinking about it for half the night, she designed it herself and handed it over to the workers.

After receiving the blueprint, the worker smacked his lips and advised, "It will look good after installation, but it's a pity to waste so much empty space."

He didn't understand why this clothing store had a reception area. The place was not very big, but it still took up space for sofas and tables. People came here to buy clothes, not to drink tea, so wasn't this a waste of space?

Zhou Nuan smiled slightly and just asked him to follow the instructions. The worker could only grumble as he did as he was told.

Although the workers did not agree, they worked diligently and finished the work in less than half a month. Zhou Nuan came to inspect the work that day.

She brought Li Baijie and Liu Miao with her, and what they had said before still counted, the three of them were in a partnership. However, Liu Miao would never agree to the agreed-upon profit sharing, and they didn't contribute much money or effort, and even the idea was from Zhou Nuan.

To be honest, Zhou Nuan could still do well even without the two of them. She clearly wanted to make money with them because she remembered the kindness they showed her in taking her in.

Liu Miao suggested that it should still be a 6:4 split, but Zhou Nuan would take 6 and they would take 4, otherwise they wouldn't have the nerve to take it.

Li Baijie agreed with her, and the two insisted, so Zhou Nuan had to agree. People in this era are relatively simple, and getting one more point will really make them sleep poorly.

After the negotiation, the three of them came to the department store. The shop had been renovated and the sign of "Western Zhou Clothing Store" was already hung at the door. When she went in, she saw that it was indeed not much different from the clothing salon store she had visited in the present world.

The store is divided into two parts, with cheongsams hanging on the east side and fashion clothes on the west side. One represents oriental aesthetics, the other western fashion. The completely unrelated clothes are perfectly integrated together without being abrupt at all.

Li Baijie and Liu Miao were amazed. They had never seen such a beautifully decorated clothing store before. If it weren't for the clothes hangers on both sides, they would have thought they had entered some elegant residence.

"Xiao Nuan, isn't this decoration too good? People don't even dare to walk in..." Li Baijie said. If it were her, she wouldn't even dare to take a second look at it.

Zhou Nuan mentioned what her brother often said, "Don't judge customers by your own ideas. Customers are more willing to spend than you think."

Moreover, she takes the route of mid-range prices and high-end services. As long as the service is in place, she will not be afraid of a lack of customers.

"I will arrange some activities to attract people, and you just need to do what I say."

After discussing for a while, the three decided to leave as they would have more things to do tomorrow.

As soon as they went out, they saw that the clothing store across the street was also open. A familiar figure was directing the people inside with his back to them, "Be careful, these are all brought back from abroad. You can't afford to pay for them if they are damaged!"

The voice is also familiar, as if I have heard it somewhere before.

Just as Zhou Nuan was thinking hard, the figure turned around. With fox eyes and high cheekbones, who else could it be but Ji Huayan?

I didn't expect that this store was opened by her.

Ji Huayan felt her gaze and looked over. The moment she saw Zhou Nuan's face clearly, her expression became strange, as if she remembered something. She pulled the corner of her mouth and turned her head away.

"..." Judging from her performance, Ji Huayan might have already known who she was.

Yes, she came to see Gu Xiyue so many times, it is impossible that she didn't know that he already had a wife and children, but she still chose to pester him. This mentality is unique.

Zhou Nuan raised her eyebrows: Interesting.

When they passed by Ji Huayan's shop, a voice clearly reached their ears, "Sister Huayan, you have such good taste. These clothes are so beautiful. They are really brought back from abroad. They are so fashionable. Unlike the one across the street, the cheongsams are so old-fashioned."

"There is a market for clothes like our Hua Yan's. If they dare to open a shop across from ours, they will go bankrupt in less than a month!"

Zhou Nuan looked over and saw a young girl from Ji Huayan's store who was trying to please her. She spared no effort to suppress her store and then praised Ji Huayan highly, wishing to praise Ji Huayan to the sky.

Her shop has been decorated, with all the clothes hung up. At first glance, it's all colorful lace-style clothing, with navel-baring bras, miniskirts, etc. also accounting for half of the shop.

These are actually not a big problem, but it is the late 1980s now. Although people are more open-minded than before, they are not yet that open in terms of dressing style. If you wear these clothes outside, people will probably point them out and say that your clothes are weird.

Ji Huayan herself was wearing a fully printed lace top with a short black lace skirt in the middle and red half-length stockings on her lower body, which tightly covered her legs.

She was not very tall, and the long and wide lace top made her look shorter, giving her a trendy and rustic feeling.

She was dressed normally on the train, but now...

Zhou Nuan: "..." Are you serious about this outfit? It's better for everyone to wear it casually.

The little girl was still looking at her with admiration, wanting to touch her but not daring to, "Sister Hua Yan, do people abroad dress as beautifully as you do?"

Ji Huayan said proudly, "How is that possible? This is all my own idea. I studied at an art school. Others can't learn to dress like me."

"I opened the store to show everyone what real fashion is, rather than wearing something old like a cheongsam and claiming it looks good."

When she said this, she glanced at Zhou Nuan intentionally or unintentionally.

Oh, this is directed at her.

Before Zhou Nuan could respond, a deep voice suddenly rang in her ears, "Why don't you leave?"

When she looked up, Gu Xiyue had already walked up to her. He had long legs and a narrow waist, with strong eyebrows and features. His eyes, which used to be cold and gloomy, now had a soft tint, and he looked a lot gentler.

He suddenly appeared, and Zhou Nuan was a little overwhelmed, "..Why are you here?"

"The factory is not busy, I'll pick you up."

Li Baijie and Liu Miao looked at each other, said a few words, and then left.

Ji Huayan also saw Gu Xiyue. Her joy suddenly cooled down when she saw the gentle look in Gu Xiyue's eyes when he looked at Zhou Nuan. She gritted her teeth and pretended to be surprised, "Brother Xiyue, what a coincidence!"

She walked out quickly, ignoring Zhou Nuan. "Are you here to see me? My store is about to open. Look, this is the style I brought back from abroad. Isn't it nice?"

Zhou Nuan looked at her with a half-smile.

Gu Xiyue's gentle features suddenly turned cold. He had no expression on his face and his reaction was even colder than that of a stranger.

"Miss Ji, I don't know you well, please don't say anything that could lead to misunderstanding in front of my lover."
