Ruan Changsheng walked to a black car parked on the street and called the driver: "Go back to the company."
This black sedan was bought by Ruan Xi for the company after the office building was put into use. It is the company's public car and the driver is also hired by the company. Ruan Changsheng and Qian Chuan currently do not have a driver's license and are still learning.
The car drove to the gate of the office building and stopped. Ruan Changsheng got out from the back and went straight into the company.
The distribution of the three-story building is also simple. The first floor is the sales department, administrative department and financial department, and each department has recruited several people. Currently, Ruan Changsheng is mainly in charge of the marketing department, Qian Chuan is mainly in charge of finance and also takes sales into consideration.
The second floor is the design department and plate-making department, and all the recruited designers work on the second floor.
The first floor of the third floor belongs to Ruan Xi alone. In addition to the office for handling matters and receiving guests, she also has her personal studio, which still has a large work surface, a drawing board, a sewing machine and various tools needed. There are also piles of cloth materials, mannequins, and rows of hangers with finished and semi-finished clothes.
After entering the company, Ruan Changsheng went straight to the third floor, and Qian Chuan was also in Ruan Xi's office. When he entered the office and sat down on the sofa, Qian Chuan stood up and poured him a glass of water and asked him, "How are you today?"
Ruan Changsheng drank the water, put down the cup and said, "There are quite a lot of people here, there shouldn't be any problem."
In the past seven days, they not only set up seven scenes for the countdown, but also distributed a lot of flyers. The flyer was very well made, printing out every scene that had been displayed in the window before, which deepened the impression.
Of course, there must be activities on the opening day. Discounts and offers are nothing special. Ruan Xi thought of a different lottery event - on the opening day, all customers who come into the store and spend one dollar will have a chance to win a set of clothing displayed in the window, any set, they can choose at will.
Because of this event, the flyers gained a lot of popularity after being distributed for a few days. Many people were holding flyers and discussing which outfit they would choose if they were lucky enough to win the prize.
Because the popularity and brand effect have already existed, Ruan Changsheng is not worried about tomorrow's opening event at all.
He took another sip of water and said, "I met that idiot Sun Wei again. He is determined to fight me to the death. He is hoping that I will be unlucky one day. He is looking forward to the opening tomorrow more than anyone else. He said that he wants to watch Miss Sheng beat up the Rose Pavilion."
Qian Chuan was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then laughed, "Is this true?"
Ruan Changsheng said: "Really? I almost couldn't help but beat him up."
Qian Chuan couldn't help laughing - there was no need to beat him up, because tomorrow he would want to slap himself in the face.
In order to attract more customers on the opening day, Shengfang’s opening time was naturally set on Sunday.
It was just getting light in the early morning when Ruan Xi was awakened by the alarm clock beside the bed. She buried her face in Ling Yao's arms. Ling Yao reached out and pressed the alarm clock. The two of them took a nap for a while, then dragged each other out of bed and went to wash up together.
After washing and changing clothes, Ruan Xi sat in front of the mirror and put on makeup and styled her hair.
When she was done, she turned around and saw Ling Yao waiting for her in a suit.
Ruan Xi stood up, picked up her bag, walked to Ling Yao, hooked his chin and said with a smile: "So handsome."
He doesn't usually wear a suit to work, and the last time he wore one was when he got married. He only has two or three suits in total, all of which are conservative and calm black or dark gray in color, but they were all made for him by Ruan Xi herself.
Ruan Xi hooked his chin and was about to walk out, but he grabbed her wrist and pulled her back.
As if she knew what he was going to do, Ruan Xi quickly raised her hand to cover her mouth and stepped back, "Don't mess up my makeup."
Ling Yao smiled, came over and kissed her on the forehead.
After making a fuss for a while, Ruan Xi went out, sat in the car to touch up her lipstick, and drove with Ling Yao to have breakfast first.
After breakfast, when I went to the street, Qian Chuan and Ruan Changsheng had already arrived with Dabao. Today, Ruan Cuizhi, Yue Haofeng and others did not go to the factory. They brought Ruan Zhigao and Liu Xinghua to attend the opening of the new store.
They cleaned and checked the place again in the morning before anyone came out to the streets.
Ruan Changsheng prepared a tape recorder and several tapes, all of which were popular songs in the past two years. As soon as the tapes were inserted into the tape recorder and the play button was pressed, the lively and leisurely atmosphere immediately created.
The sun climbed higher in the hot atmosphere. More and more flower baskets were placed outside the store. More and more people were crowding into the store. When there were the most people, the store was almost packed.
There were many people looking at the clothes and many people participating in the lucky draw.
When you enter the store, you can buy a lottery ticket for one dollar. If you win, you will get clothes for free. If you don’t win, you will get a beautiful scarf for free. In any case, customers don’t lose out. Of course, clothes were hard to draw, and Ruan Xi only prepared three sets of clothes in total.
Because they were tempted by the lottery, many customers did not leave after drawing the prizes, but stayed in the store to see who would be lucky enough to win the clothes. Of course, with more people, more people will buy clothes.
The trained store manager, Ruan Changsheng and Qian Chuan were there to greet customers and sell clothes. Ruan Xi and Ling Yao would greet the acquaintances who came over together. Among them were Ling Yao’s colleagues from work, Ruan Xi’s university classmates, and colleagues from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau.
Li Xiaofang and several roommates, Jiang Suyun and several colleagues all came to congratulate.
Jiang Suyun smiled and said, "You are really capable. I have never seen such a popular store opening. I think your store will be packed. You are really good at business."
It’s not enough that Rose Pavilion has opened so many stores, it has now launched a new brand.
And once this brand was launched, it became so popular.
Ruan Xi smiled and said, "These are just some little tricks for everyone to play for fun."
In fact, it is mainly due to the dividends of the times. Any new and novel tricks can attract people's attention.
As long as you can attract people and the traffic is large enough, you won’t have to worry about not making money.
Because the pre-opening warm-up was done well, the clothes and opening activities were attractive, the store also played music that everyone liked to prevent the atmosphere from getting cold, and the staff were also friendly and polite, so for most of the day, there was a constant stream of people coming to the store.
The store was busy until the afternoon and business was still booming.
The Rose Pavilion across the street naturally seemed particularly deserted compared to the bustling place here.
Sun Wei turned and walked into the door of the Rose Pavilion, facing the sunlight slanting down from the west. The clerk stood up from behind the counter and greeted him, asking him what clothes he wanted to buy and introducing him to several new products of their store this season.
Sun Wei had no interest in the clothes, so he just looked around and asked with a smile, "Isn't Ruan Changsheng here?"
The clerk smiled politely and said, "Our President Ruan rarely comes to the store. If you want to find him, you can go to..."
"Didn't you come here yesterday? You don't dare to come today?" Sun Wei interrupted the clerk and said with a disdainful smile: "Your Rose Pavilion is just so-so. Look at the one across the street. They are a real brand!"
After saying that, he smiled comfortably, walked out.
The clerk watched him walk across the street: "???"
What? Who is this person?
The one across the street also belongs to their Rose Pavilion.
She just wanted him to go across the street to find Ruan Changsheng.
Sun Wei walked out of the Rose Pavilion and headed straight for Shengfang across the street. Because it is a boutique women's clothing store, most of the customers in the store are women, with only a small number of men who are out shopping with their girlfriends.
But whether male or female, the clerks all served customers politely with a smile.
The clerk invited Sun Wei into the store and said with a smile: "Today is the first day of our store opening. In addition to discounts, there is also a lucky draw. You can participate in the lucky draw by spending only one dollar. If you are lucky, you can win a set of clothes that have been displayed in our window. If you are not lucky, you will get a silk scarf, which is also of very good quality."
Sun Wei had no intention of buying clothes, so he just said, "Then I'll draw a prize."
The clerk took him to the counter, took a dollar from him, and then handed him a raffle ticket with both hands.
Sun Wei took the lottery ticket and went to the lottery area, where he immediately saw Ruan Changsheng distributing silk scarves to people. Ruan Changsheng saw him just after handing out the scarves, and smiled naturally, "Hey customer, do you want to draw the lottery too?"
Sun Wei: “…”
What the hell? Why is Ruan Changsheng here? !
He turned his head sharply holding the lottery ticket, and then saw Qian Chuan and Ruan Xi, whose face he also remembered, in several corners of the store. Because the store is quite large, he didn't notice it at all when he first came in.
In just a moment, his expression turned extremely ugly and his whole face almost collapsed.
Ruan Changsheng watched the expression on his face change, and asked him again with a polite smile: "Comrade, do you want to draw a lottery?"
Sun Wei's mind was a mess at this point. Although he hadn't figured out what was going on, he was already uncontrollably feeling embarrassed and even felt a burning sensation on his face.
He squeezed the lottery ticket in his hand and turned to leave.
But the moment he turned around, he felt that he couldn't spend a single dollar in vain, so he held his breath and calmed his expression, turned back to Ruan Changsheng, handed the lottery ticket to him, and went to the lottery box to draw.
As he reached in to draw the lottery, Ruan Changsheng continued to smile and said, "Comrade, you may not know that Shengfang is a new brand of our Rose Pavilion, and its positioning is higher than that of Rose Pavilion. If you like clothes with good quality, high quality and famous brands, then you should come to our store more often in the future. We guarantee that all your needs will be met."
Sun Wei: “…”
He naturally knew that Ruan Changsheng was slapping him in the face with his words.
With a stern expression, he pulled out a piece of card, on which was written: Thank you for your patronage.
Ruan Changsheng naturally still greeted him politely and gave him a silk scarf.
Looking at the smile on Ruan Changsheng's face, Sun Wei felt like thorns were densely packed in his face, almost piercing it to bleed. Or it was like invisible slaps, hitting him hard in the face again and again, making his face swollen.
The more harsh words he said yesterday, the more painful my face is now!
However, just as he reached out to take the scarf and wanted to leave quickly to save face, there was a sudden commotion in the store, and the voices of other customers came to his ears one after another -
"Look, look, is that Wen Xiao?"
"It looks like it, doesn't it?"
"I've only seen it in newspapers and on TV. I don't know."
“I’ve been to her shows, that’s her!”
"Wow, she's here to buy clothes too?"
…
Ruan Changsheng was naturally attracted by these sounds. He looked where everyone's eyes were focused, and then saw Xie Dongyang coming in with a woman who looked like the female singer Wen Xiao.
Wen Xiao was already well-known for singing in a song and dance troupe. He became a little famous again when he participated in the Youth Song Competition last year. He is now considered a well-known singer in the country. Although not as popular as the top three and those singers from Hong Kong and Taiwan, they have a certain degree of fame.
After Wen Xiao attracted everyone's attention, naturally no one looked at the clothes anymore.
Qian Chuan went to Ruan Changsheng's side and asked in a low voice, "Is it Wen Xiao?"
Ruan Changsheng replied in a whisper: "I don't know."
Meanwhile, Ruan Xi had already pulled Ling Yao over to greet them. She smiled and said to Xie Dongyang, "Thank you, Boss, for coming to our opening ceremony. This is..."
Before Xie Dongyang could speak, Wen Xiao introduced himself: "Hello, I'm Wen Xiao."
She is indeed a female singer!
There was a commotion in the store again.
Ruan Xiling Yao, Xie Dongyang and Wen Xiao stood and introduced themselves to each other, exchanged a few polite words, and then continued to invite people in. The original plan was to take her to the lounge at the back for tea, but Wen Xiao said she came here specifically to look at the clothes and she also wanted to participate in the lottery.
So Ruan Xi didn't take anyone to the lounge at the back, but let Wen Xiao participate in the lottery.
As soon as Wen Xiao arrived, he naturally became the focus of the store.
No matter what era, celebrities always have a halo and are the focus wherever they go.
Wen Xiao reached for the cardboard under everyone's gaze, took it out and looked at it. His eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "Lucky Star..."
Ruan Changsheng hurriedly said: "I got it!"
A customer had already won a set of clothes this morning, and this was Wen Xiao's second set. The popularity of the female singer, coupled with her incredible luck, instantly ignited the atmosphere in the store.
Wen Xiao was very happy and satisfied when he drew the clothes, his face was full of smiles. Ruan Xi took her and Xie Dongyang to the lounge at the back, made a pot of tea and brought some fruit snacks to entertain them, and showed her the flyer so that she could choose clothes.
Don't rush to choose clothes. Xie Dongyang said with a smile: "We were originally planning to have a meal together to get to know each other, but we never found the time. It just so happens that you opened today, so we came to show our support."
Ruan Xi didn't expect Xie Dongyang to bring Wen Xiao with him, so she just said, "Thank you so much."
The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and Ruan Xi smiled and introduced Ling Yao to Xie Dongyang and Wen Xiao, "My husband, Ling Yao."
Xie Dongyang immediately stood up and stretched out his hand to Ling Yao, "Finally I see you."
Ling Yao also stood up and shook hands with him, "I often hear Xixi mention you."
Xie Dongyang smiled and said to Wen Xiao, "A scientist from the National Highest Research Institute."
Wen Xiao was in awe when he heard this, and hurriedly greeted him, "Hello, hello."
Ling Yao never had an air of superiority. Although he was not very sociable, Ruan Xi's friends were his friends, so he said, "We are all friends from now on. No need to be so polite."
But when you meet someone for the first time, you always have to be polite and get to know each other better.
After getting familiar with each other, the four of them began to chat in a relaxed manner. The topics of their conversation were nothing more than Ruan Xi's clothing business, Wen Xiao's singing career, Ling Yao's enviable job, and Xie Dongyang's daily trading life.
The more they talked, the more relaxed they became. Ruan Xi asked Xie Dongyang and Wen Xiao, "Are you ready to get married?"
Speaking of this, Wen Xiao nodded and said, "We are getting ready to get married, by the end of this year at the latest. I heard from Dongyang that you are willing to design my wedding dress personally. Is that true?"
Ruan Xi smiled and said, "It's my honor to design a dress for you."
Wen Xiao felt overwhelmed and said hurriedly, "It is my honor to wear the dress you designed. You are the big boss of Rose Pavilion."
The two of them flattered each other back and forth, while Ling Yao and Xie Dongyang smiled and drank tea and toasted beside them.
The store outside was still bustling with customers coming and going, and clothes being sold one after another.
With a swollen face, Sun Wei came out of the store clutching a silk scarf, her face red and filled with anger that she couldn't vent. He stood outside the store for a while, then turned back to look at Ruan Changsheng's smiling face in the store, and his face turned green again with anger.
His face turned red and green, and he walked towards the street holding the scarf.
But after walking a few steps, he suddenly turned around and came back.
This time he did not go into Shengfang's store, but went to the store in Rose Pavilion opposite. After standing still inside, he frowned and looked at the clerk behind the counter and said unhappily, "The Shengfang is also yours, why didn't you say so just now?"
Shop assistant: “…I wanted to say it, but you didn’t let me.”
Sun Wei was so angry that his chest heaved and seemed about to explode.
After a moment of anger, she slammed the scarf in her hand onto the counter and said, "You guys can keep this torn scarf for yourselves!"
After taking the photo, he turned around and walked out, but because he walked too quickly, he tripped over the threshold and almost fell down.
The clerk tensed his expression: "..."
After Sun Wei tripped and stood firm, he pulled the corner of his clothes and walked away. She couldn't hold it in anymore and laughed, holding her stomach.
As Sun Wei walked toward the street, a group of people would come towards him every few steps.
Those people were talking about Sheng Fang——
"I heard someone won clothes again, right?"
"Yes, she's still a singer. Wen Xiao participated in the Youth Song Contest last year. I wonder which one she picked."
"Is this true? Is Wen Xiao really here?"
"Really? So many people were watching just now, and she won the clothes."
"Has he left already? Can I still see him if I go now?"
"He hasn't left yet. He went to the back to rest. He might come out later."
"I have to buy two sets of the same brand that Wen Xiao wears!"
"I just bought a skirt."
