Zhang Lei looked at his handsome self in the mirror and felt very happy.
"Although the little guy in front of me has some dirty hands, I have to admit that he has good taste and shows off his handsomeness to the fullest."
Zhang Lei thought silently in his heart.
"Beautiful sister, big brother, do you like this outfit? If not, I'll pair you with something else."
Du Chen asked the other party deliberately.
"That's enough! This one is fine!"
Zhang Lei and Zhai Jing answered in unison. Zhai Jing thought the outfit was great and there was no need to waste time on it. Zhang Lei was afraid Du Chen would come back and do something even more ruthless, as he might not even have enough money in his pocket to pay for it.
"Okay, pretty sister, you can choose whichever one you need. You can return the ones you don't need to me!"
Du Chen gave the other party some room to maneuver, but he still said to the woman thoughtfully that, after all, men are sometimes satisfied with being almost good enough, while women are willing to strive for excellence.
"No need, little brother, we want them all. Just calculate the price for us!"
Zhai Jing said this in a decisive tone. Zhang Lei beside her moved his lips but ultimately said nothing.
"Beautiful sister, all the price tags are here. The custom suit is 140 yuan, the top-grain cowhide shoes are 80 yuan, the calfskin belt is 45 yuan, the custom tie is 40 yuan, and the glasses are from the optical shop next door. I just checked and they are 40 yuan. The total is 345."
"You don't have to choose the glasses. They're not ours after all. The price would be 305..."
"Jingjing, this price is a bit expensive, why don't you just buy a suit?"
Zhang Lei felt his pocket and felt a little pain. His monthly salary was only more than 500 yuan, and a set of clothes cost him half a month's salary. He couldn't help but feel the pain.
"Zhang Lei, getting married is only once in a lifetime, you have to dress nicely, otherwise what will my relatives and friends think of you? What, are you planning to buy it at a street stall? It's only a hundred yuan for everything, if you don't feel embarrassed, I will!"
"Okay, okay, Jingjing, don't be angry. I'm just trying to save some money for our future marriage!"
Seeing that his partner was angry, Zhang Lei hurriedly tried to coax her.
"Big brother, I haven't finished yet. Our new store is opening today, and we have a 15% discount, which makes the total to be 259 yuan. Plus, if you spend 100 yuan, you will get 10 yuan off, so the total is 239 yuan!"
Du Chen looked at the other party who was in a bad mood and immediately mentioned the discount. He had wanted to say it just now, but was interrupted by the other party.
"Hey, that's great, Zhang Lei! Look how good of a deal it is, why don't you go and pay!"
"Little brother, sister with glasses wants it too, who should I give the money to?"
"Pretty sister, come with me. It's next door. Just give the money to the person next door!"
Du Chen said in his heart, "Yeah!" and successfully opened the store on his own!
"Little brother, can you come over later? Come and give me some advice!"
At this time, a young man who had been watching the fun nearby asked Du Chen.
"Okay, big brother, please wait a moment!"
For the next whole day, Du Chen was in the store helping customers match clothes. The number of people came from beginning to end on the first day of the new store's opening. It would not be said that it was crowded, but people came to buy clothes one after another.
At eight o'clock in the evening, under Du Chen's strong suggestion, the shop was closed. After all, Du Chen let his family make money to improve their quality of life, not to ruin everyone's health. Du Chen had run the modification shop for a long time and understood a truth: some money is yours and you can't run away from it. What you don't deserve, you have to spit out even if you earn it.
"Let's go! Let's go eat together! I've booked a restaurant for lunch!"
After a quick cleanup, Comrade Lao Du quickly invited everyone to eat. Everyone was very tired after the day.
When they arrived at the restaurant, the employees and children were at one table, and Lao Du, Lao Ding and a few others were at another table. Du Chen licked his face and rubbed his way to the adults' table, ready to listen to what they were talking about.
"Suyun, I didn't pay attention to the glasses store today. How is the glasses store today?"
Du Chen's mother was the first to ask Ren Suyun. She had been busy at the clothing store all day, so she didn't know how the glasses store was doing.
"Sister, today was pretty good. I got 12 pairs of glasses in one day. Most of them were for students. I even sold four pairs of glasses frames!"
"The cheapest ones are 90 yuan a pair, the most expensive ones are 320 yuan a pair, and the others are around 130 yuan a pair!"
Ren Suyun is very responsible. After all, it is her sister's business, so she cares about it.
"Not bad. I think it will get busier and busier these days. School is about to start, and I think the number of students needing glasses will increase day by day."
Du Chen's mother was very satisfied with the business of the eyewear store today. After all, the profits of the eyewear store are there.
"Suyun, how's your glasses fitting learning going? Is it difficult?"
"It's not bad. It's much easier than the injections and IVs I get. Plus, it's all done by machines, so I don't have to do much with my hands. It's pretty easy!"
Ren Suyun answered easily. She was afraid that she would not be able to do it well at first, but she did not expect it to be so easy to do. The whole process was done by machine and she did not have to put in much effort.
However, what Ren Suyun didn't know was that in order to open an eyewear store for his family, Du Chen persuaded his mother to buy a special machine, which lowered the threshold for the eyewear store. Otherwise, it would be a lot of effort just to grind a lens.
The mainstream method now is to grind lenses manually. Machines are cheap but waste manpower. Du Chen's machine is purely mechanically operated. This lens grinding machine alone cost more than 10,000 yuan.
"Wife, how's the clothing store today?"
Old Ding looked at the bustling clothing store and felt that business was probably good, but he had no idea how much he was doing. His main job today was to maintain order and restock the store. The two floors of the store were largely utilized, so some of the goods were stored in the basement storage room. Comrades Lao Du and Lao Ding had been running to the storage room quite a bit today.
"Just now when we were cleaning, Sister Ren and I did some calculations and we collected about 10,000 yuan today!"
Jia Xiaomin said to everyone present with some excitement.
“How much can you earn?”
Lao Ding asked the question he wanted to know most.
"We're having a promotion today, and there's a rebate. After deducting employee utilities, it's probably around 35%!"
Having been in business for such a long time, and most of the store is managed by Ren Surong herself, so she gave a pertinent answer.
"One hundred and thirty-five, one thousand three hundred and five, thirteen thousand and five! That's not bad!"
Lao Ding counted on his fingers and became more and more excited the more he counted. How much money could he earn this month?
"Old Ding, wake up! Stop dreaming!"
[Today's prices are based on some research and my own calculations. I remember buying a pork bun in 1996 cost 30 cents. Now, the average is around 2 yuan, so I think the price for the suit is pretty reasonable! Please forgive any errors or omissions. I was very young back then, so I don't remember the prices of food, clothing, housing, and transportation very clearly. If you're going to criticize, please be gentle (≧?≦)/]
