Chapter 338
Long queues formed in front of the music and video store.
Zhou Min was in charge of registering the documents of the guests who came to apply for membership cards, while Ji Wanmei was in charge of processing the membership cards.
Ji Wanmei prepared a thousand membership cards, and in just two or three hours this morning, nearly two hundred were issued. It was a very fruitful result!
She had originally planned to sell all 1,000 membership cards within a year, but now it seems she might be able to sell them in less than a month.
DVD and audio-visual stores are still relatively rare even in a major provincial capital city like this in East China, let alone near a school here. This is the only one of its kind.
It can be said that college students are among the first to introduce this type of physical rental and sales industry. They are generally at the forefront of new industries and entertainment. They are willing to try and have the cultural and artistic level to experience and participate.
Therefore, Ji Wanmei's decision to open such a music and video store outside the university was a very business-savvy decision.
Not only Zhou Min came to help, but several of Ji Wanmei's other roommates with whom she had a good relationship also came to help.
Since it was the opening day, there were various promotions and free lucky draws. The store was full of goods and customers, so some people were inevitably a bit clumsy. My roommates came over to act as sales assistants.
Along this student street, Ji Wanmei's audio-visual store is the most popular, attracting a huge crowd.
The shop owners in the surrounding area all cast envious and onlooking glances.
Around 5 p.m., Lu Zhuoxuan also came to show his support.
He brought a bouquet of flowers.
As soon as he entered the store, he was surprised to see that it was so crowded that there was hardly any room to stand. He turned around and saw Ji Wanmei busy behind the counter, and called out to her, "Junior Sister."
"Senior Brother Lu, you've arrived." Ji Wanmei looked up amidst her busy schedule and smiled. "I'm sorry, I'm just too busy right now to entertain you. Why don't you take a look around by yourself for a bit?"
"It's alright, you go ahead with your work. These are flowers for you, I wish you good business." Lu Zhuoxuan used the excuse of giving flowers for the opening to buy a bouquet of red roses.
Generally speaking, red roses aren't given as gifts for business openings; sunflowers, red roses, or lilies are usually given instead.
Ji Wanmei glanced at the bouquet of flowers, pretending not to understand his meaning, and smiled as she accepted the flowers: "Thank you, senior brother. Let's talk again when I'm done with my work."
Seeing that there were many students picking out DVDs in front of the rows of DVD display shelves in the shop, Lu Zhuoxuan said, "Is there anything I can help you with? Just let me know."
Ji Wanmei knew that Lu Zhuoxuan was also an enthusiast in this field. He studied electronic technology and would definitely know about these things, so she said without hesitation, "Then how about I trouble you, senior brother, to help me work part-time as a sales assistant in the store? Many students and customers don't know how to use a cassette player. Could you explain it to them?"
“Okay.” Lu Zhuoxuan smiled and saw that Ji Wanmei had a “Times Image Store” employee badge pinned to her chest. He also picked one up from her counter and pinned it to his shirt, pretending to be a sales assistant.
Upon seeing this, Zhou Min nudged Ji Wanmei's shoulder with her elbow and said, "Looks like Senior Lu hasn't given up on you yet."
Ji Wanmei remained calm and smiled faintly: "We are all sensible people, and we all know how to act. Senior Brother Lu has good manners, so please don't be presumptuous."
"Alright, I was just being presumptuous." Zhou Min wisely dropped the subject.
Recently, Ji Wanmei has been in a bad mood, probably because her father opposes her relationship with her boyfriend. She spends all her time either in the library or working overtime late into the night on the shop's affairs, and she hardly has any free time.
Zhou Min felt that if Senior Lu really hadn't given up yet, he might take advantage of the situation at this moment.
However, judging from Ji Wanmei's appearance and how well she gets along with her boyfriend, it seems that Senior Lu's efforts will ultimately be in vain.
Sighing inwardly, Zhou Min watched as the female students browsing CDs in the store all turned their eyes to Lu Zhuoxuan after he entered. They blushed, wanting to strike up a conversation but too shy to do so, as if Lu Zhuoxuan was something more interesting than the DVDs.
Meanwhile, Ji Wanmei saw that Senior Lu had sent her such a large bouquet of red roses, but she carelessly tossed it aside and even sent him to help her as a sales assistant.
Ji Wanmei also noticed the surprise and delight of the female student customers in the store at Lu Zhuoxuan's arrival. She smiled slightly and said to Zhou Min, "When friends get along, there's no need to be so formal about these little things."
Of course, everyone in Ji Wanmei's dormitory had heard about her opening a shop.
Besides the classmates who came with Zhou Min to help, Fang Xiaoqin and Zhou Yuejuan also arrived around noon.
Zhou Yuejuan had originally planned to come earlier, but Shan Beifang Xiaoqin stopped her, saying, "Why are you in such a hurry? Are you rushing to support her?"
"Wouldn't it be better if we went later, when her shop was empty and business was slow, and then just went to see her make a fool of herself?"
Zhou Yuejuan is now less inclined to play with Fang Xiaoqin.
Zhou Yuejuan felt that Fang Xiaoqin was simply missing a screw in her head.
Not only is Ji Wanmei a celebrity at school, but she also comes from a well-off family, has a close relationship with Lu Zhuoxuan, and is even a teacher and student to Lu Zhuoxuan's grandmother. With such a background, Zhou Yuejuan couldn't understand why Fang Xiaoqin, with her limited qualifications, thought she could go against Ji Wanmei.
Many times, when Fang Xiaoqin deliberately caused trouble in the dormitory, Ji Wanmei was magnanimous and too lazy to argue with her.
