The couple who came were getting married after the New Year. They lived in an old house but were thinking of buying a new sofa. They didn't expect that when they arrived, they would like the matching sofa and bed, and then they hesitated.
After listening, Hua Kai said to them, "Furniture is not like clothes, it won't go out of style so easily. Besides, furniture is used for several years or even decades. You only get married once, so you won't regret buying this."
The female customer said, "But we were just planning to buy a sofa, and we could use the old furniture we have at home. We never expected to like the matching bed so much. Our financial situation isn't great, so we were hoping to save money. We've been discussing this sofa for a long time. I really..."
After listening, Hua Kai thought for a moment and said, "How about this, since you're newly married, we'll share in your joy. We'll buy the sofa bed together, and we'll give you the opening discount of 20%. You can choose a lower-priced one, which will cost less than originally planned, and you can buy both. Our products are all of guaranteed quality, so don't worry that a lower price means a lower quality one."
Upon hearing what Hua Kai said, the female customer smiled happily: "Really? You can make the decision?"
Li Jing smiled and said to the female customer, "This is our boss. You are really lucky. I wouldn't dare to ask for this discount myself."
The female customer looked at the blooming flowers with excitement: "I really can't believe you're such a young person and already a boss. I thought you were a student."
Hua Kai said, "I really am a student. You're getting married after the New Year, right? That's still a long time. I'll draw a picture of your new house when I have time. You've seen the decor of the single rooms upstairs. I really overlooked the arrangement of the new house before. You guys reminded me."
The female customer thanked Hua Kai repeatedly, saying, "Thank you so much, but our budget is limited, so we can't go for anything too extravagant."
Hua Kai smiled and said, "I know, don't worry. You don't need to buy new cabinets. I'll match the colors for you. You can buy the paint yourself and repaint the old cabinets. The effect will be the same."
At this point, the male customer couldn't help but ask, "Really? You sell furniture too? Won't this put you in a difficult position?"
Hua Kai said, "It's alright. I'm not drawing furniture blueprints for you. I'm just giving you color scheme directions. You'll all need to buy curtains and bedding anyway, so just buy them according to my color scheme. The decorations should look fresh and new."
The male customer repeatedly expressed his gratitude: "Thank you so much. My family is really... sigh, my mother has been paralyzed in bed for several years. It's only because my girlfriend doesn't mind that I'm like this. Just now, when she liked that bed and I was short of money, I really felt... I really don't know what to say."
The female customer held the man's hand and said, "I've already told you all this, so don't overthink it. If I were after something else, I would have run away long ago. I shouldn't have looked at the bed so much today."
Hua Kai looked at the two of them and sighed inwardly, thinking that this was truly true love. She looked at them and said, "You two are both filial and kind people, and things will only get better and better for you in the future."
The female customer smiled as she looked at the blooming flowers: "Thank you for your kind words, boss. Thank you so much today. We were hesitant to buy the cheapest sofa because we were afraid the quality of cheap sofas was unreliable. But after hearing your advice, I feel relieved. Plus, we got a discount. So, the money I was planning to spend on the sofa can be used to buy a bed instead."
"Then take your time to choose. If you like anything else, you can get a 20% discount. But don't tell anyone I gave you this price when you leave, or you'll all come to me for a discount, and I can't handle that," Hua Kai said with a hint of a joke.
"No, we won't tell, thank you boss." The two thanked the flower blooming.
Hua Kai said no need to thank her, and asked Li Jing to help them choose a style. Then she and Hua Qingyi went upstairs. She had indeed received a hint earlier. At this time, many families are buying furniture for their newlyweds, but they don't necessarily decorate. They might just paint the walls or something. So the decorating styles of these single rooms upstairs lack the style of a newlywed's home. She took out paper and pen from her desk and started drawing.
Seeing his sister's seriousness, Hua Qingyi encouraged her to be serious about everything she did.
Hua Kai is the kind of person who never procrastinates. After finishing the drawing, she put it in the drawer, waiting for Ye Yifan to come back and discuss it. There happened to be an empty room on the second floor that could be renovated. The people in the provincial capital took this into consideration and even added a children's room style because they could make some children's beds.
After everything was settled, it was getting late, so the brother and sister went back to school.
It snowed all day the next day. Hua Kai didn't go to the cafeteria after school started. As soon as she left the school gate, she started looking for Ye Yifan's car, who said he was coming back today.
However, he didn't find the spot where he usually parked. After searching around, she still couldn't find it. Hua Kai felt a little disappointed. She couldn't quite explain the feeling; it was as if something was missing from her heart.
Gu Xiaoxue passed by Hua Kai and asked, "Why aren't you going to eat?"
Hua Kai couldn't say she hadn't found Ye Yifan, because it wasn't a pre-arranged meeting. Ye Yifan had only said he'd be back today, but hadn't specified a time, so she was the one who wanted to wait.
So she said to Gu Xiaoxue, "I'm waiting for my classmate."
Gu Xiaoxue waved to her: "Then I'm going to eat."
Hua Kai nodded: "Mm."
After watching Gu Xiaoxue leave, Hua Kai looked in the direction Ye Yifan usually came from, but didn't see him. She lowered her head, stepped on the snow, and thought she would wait another ten minutes.
Suddenly, a warm scarf was wrapped around Hua Kai's neck: "It's so cold, why didn't you wear a scarf?" Ye Yifan's warm voice came to her ear.
Hearing the familiar voice and smelling the familiar scent of the scarf, Hua Kai happily turned around: "Ye Yifan, you're back?"
Ye Yifan said, "Yes, something came up and I got back a little late."
Although Hua Kai saw Ye Yifan happy, she couldn't help but scold him, "With such heavy snow today, if you had something to do, you could have come back a day later. It's so dangerous to drive in this snow."
Ye Yifan was delighted to hear Hua Kai's concern and said with a smile, "I just wanted to come back. Let's go, let's find a place to eat and talk."
"Hmm." Hua Kai didn't know when it started, but she had developed some inexplicable feelings for him, whether it was dependence or something else, but seeing him made her feel better.
The two didn't go far; they stayed at their usual restaurant near the school.
After sitting down, Hua Kai took off her cotton-padded coat and placed it on the stool next to her: "Is everything going well?"
Ye Yifan also put the clothes away: "Well, I already had a shop. I didn't take it too seriously when I bought it, and I can't quite remember the layout. I went to take a look this time and thought the location and size were just right. So I asked a friend to help me buy another one. It's a new shop with no partitions, so there's not much bricklaying work. We can start construction soon."
