Chapter 421: Beauty Shop Opening
On the other side, at the Zhao family, Zhao Liang had been locked in the house for several days without eating or drinking.
When his mother Sun Lijuan brought him food, he couldn't help complaining.
"Mom, why do you have to agree to let me marry Arya? I don't want to marry her, I want to marry someone I like!"
Sun Lijuan poked his head in frustration.
"Are you stupid? My silly son, where else can you find a girl who doesn't want any betrothal gifts except Erya? Girls in our city all want three turns and one ring, eight big things and so on! If you give these things, won't they become married?"
She thought for a moment and sighed, "Besides, because the female boss invested in their village, didn't everyone go to work in the factory? Although it's a private enterprise, they are still half workers. In fact, my mother is doing this for your own good. What's good about marrying a city girl? One by one, because she is a formal worker, she is so proud. Rural girls are easy to control! In the future, you will know what will happen when you live with her. If you tell her to go east, she will never go west. If you tell her to beat a dog, she will never bite a chicken!"
When Zhao Liang heard Song Shiwei mentioned, his eyes lit up, but then he seemed to think of something and his gaze gradually dimmed.
He lay down on the bed feeling a little irritable and covered his head with the quilt.
"Anyway, I won't get married. If you want to get married, you guys go ahead and do it!"
Sun Lijuan was so angry that she slapped him on the butt.
"You little bastard, how can you talk to your mother like that? What do you mean I have to get married? I wish I could get married!"
She pinched his arm again, feeling somewhat disappointed.
Zhao Liang cried out "ouch" in pain.
"Liangzi, it's not that your mother is forcing you, but for all these years, your father and I have helped you in every way because you are the youngest and the only son. Even your sisters treat you like a treasure all the time."
"But now that the country has opened up its economy, your sister's factory is getting worse and worse, especially your second and third sisters. The factory is going to lay off employees at the end of the year, and they are about to be laid off. Mom, mom is thinking that Erya's family is a neighbor of the female boss. If you two get married, can you ask your mother-in-law to talk to them and let your second and third sisters also work in that grain processing factory?"
"Besides, I heard that the female boss has opened a beauty shop in the city that sells vanishing cream or some kind of facial mask, and she's looking for someone. I've told your future mother-in-law that Erya will have to work in the city in the future. In fact, it's just a test to see if your mother-in-law's family has the ability. If Erya's matter can really be done, then in the future, will your sisters have to worry about getting a job?"
"Tell me, you are already so grown up, can't you make some contribution to your family?"
After hearing what his mother said, Zhao Liang said nothing.
But there is a deep feeling of powerlessness in my heart.
Why should he sacrifice his lifelong happiness to make a contribution?
He just wants to marry a woman he loves and spend his life with her. Why is it so difficult?
At this moment, he suddenly hated himself for being incompetent. Why couldn't he make more money?
If he had money, would no one force him like this anymore?
Anyway, in the end, no matter what he thought, his marriage with Arya was already on the agenda.
On the day of the engagement, Sun Lijuan took him to Lijiatun and brought some simple gifts as a token of appreciation. Then Aunt Hua and her friends treated them to a meal at a restaurant in the town.
The marriage is settled.
When Song Shiwei came home from get off work and received Erya's wedding invitation, she was a little surprised.
She looked at the date and it was around New Year's Day.
It's the end of October now, just two months.
"Auntie Hua, so fast?"
But Aunt Hua was obviously very happy.
"Yes, yes, the man is in a hurry, saying that he wants to marry our Erya as soon as possible!"
Song Shi frowned slightly. What the hell is the Zhao family doing? Why are they rushing so much?
But she knew that Erya would definitely be willing, and she even hoped it would happen as soon as possible. After all, she wanted to marry Zhao Liang so much, and she would be happy the sooner it happened.
Forget it, the date has been set anyway, and she can’t care so much. She just hopes that Erya can get what she wants and won’t regret it.
The date here has been set, and Song Shiwei's drugstore will also open.
Ever since Aunt Hua talked to her about it that day, she transferred Erya to work in the city.
But Erya is a bit slow-paced, and since she's getting married soon, her mind is not on work at all.
Other art directors have already learned all of Songshi’s micro-teaching techniques, and have even practiced them quite well.
But Erya was very unskilled.
There was no other way, Song Shiwei had to let her be in charge of the front desk, collecting money, checking accounts, entertaining customers, and serving tea and water.
Everything was ready, just waiting to open. Song Shiwei started having people distribute flyers throughout the city two days in advance.
After all, this is the most cost-effective and effective promotion method.
Nowadays, women on almost every street are talking about drug stores.
Because Song Shiwei launched an event where you can try the product in the store for free.
This is also a common practice used by many beauty salons.
After attracting people, they will start to fool you.
But Song Shiwei is definitely not going to fool people, her beauty directors are all professionally trained.
A series of targeted analyses will be made based on the customer's skin condition.
She will not force you to buy, mainly because she has confidence in her products.
Even if she doesn't want to buy it and make it at home, she can still buy it and have it made in the store, or apply for a card, which is valid for three, ten, or twenty times.
Customers are more selective.
Moreover, a limited number of bottles are supplied each day, and once they are sold out, they are gone.
As the saying goes, which woman doesn't love beauty? Since ancient times, women and children have been the easiest to make money from.
In addition, this is a special era. People are like those who have just walked out of a house of confinement and are facing the door to a new world, full of yearning.
Everyone is pursuing fashion and style.
Don’t worry about not being able to sell your products. As long as your products are good enough, beautiful enough, and attractive enough, there will be many people who want to buy them.
Therefore, on the first day of the drugstore's opening, there was a huge crowd of people and business was extremely booming.
The entire store was almost packed with people who were all here to try the products for free.
Song Shiwei went there personally to maintain order.
After all, there are people who want to buy and people who want to get a bargain. There are too many people, and disputes are likely to arise if order is not maintained.
And there are only a few beauticians, so you can only queue up one by one to try it.
Of course, there are also those who can’t wait. Song Shiwei has specially made small samples, each costing one cent. You can buy them home and try them for free. If you like them, you can buy a big bottle.
She also explained in detail how to use the mask to everyone.
You know what, this drugstore is the first of its kind in the country and everyone is extremely curious about it.
Many daughters and wives of high-ranking officials bought them.
