Su Luoluo and Zhu Qingqing nodded in agreement, saying that such a rule was good, as they didn't want to lose their jobs in order to attract customers.
"Oh, Yuanyuan, come and see! This store is so cute! So many little clothes! Let's go take a look!" Two young women walked in, talking as they went inside.
Zhu Qingqing was closer to them, so she immediately stepped forward to greet them, "Welcome! What would you two ladies like to buy? Our Aibao Maternal and Infant Store has the most complete selection in the entire Tianshui City. You can basically find everything you need for children and pregnant women here."
"Really? That looks like a lot. Hey, Yuanyuan, isn't your sister about to give birth? I don't know what to send her? I think sending some baby clothes would be nice, what do you think!"
Zhou Jiajia reached out and touched the little clothes on the rack, her heart softening. She really wanted to get married and have children right away; they were just too cute.
"You have excellent taste! Our boss searched many manufacturers before finding this brand of clothing. The material is soft, gentle on the skin, and perfect for newborns. We also have a special offer for our first day of opening: spend over 50 and get a free pair of baby bibs. The more you buy, the more you get."
Zhu Qingqing practiced this speech several times at home, and now she can deliver it without any hesitation, very naturally and fluently.
Zhang Xuemei stood behind the cashier, watching Zhu Qingqing skillfully serve the customers, and nodded in satisfaction.
Then she looked up at Su Luoluo inside. She was currently receiving a young couple and seemed to be introducing them to baby formula, which was quite nice.
Gradually, more and more people entered the store, and Zhang Xuemei could no longer stand still. She personally went to serve the customers. At this moment, she wished she could stretch out three heads and six arms. She was really too busy to handle everything and felt that she had let many customers slip away.
After a busy morning, the three of them finally got a break. They sat down on the ground without a care for their image, exhausted and with their mouths dry from talking.
Once she had recovered, Zhang Xuemei asked the two of them, "What would you like for lunch? I'll go buy it."
"I'll go instead. What do you want to eat?" Zhu Qingqing quickly stood up from the ground and reached out to Zhang Xuemei for meal tickets.
Now they usually have lunch on the eighth floor, since it's cheap, convenient, and tastes good, so they're too lazy to go out.
"Just bring me a bowl of wontons and a sesame seed cake." Zhang Xuemei took a book of meal tickets from the drawer and handed it over.
"Same as Sister Xuemei." Su Luoluo was too lazy to order any more food; she was just glad there was anything to eat.
Zhu Qingqing nodded, took the meal ticket, and hurried towards the elevator, knowing that if she went too late, there might not be any left.
Zhang Xuemei flipped through the receipt book and muttered to herself, "This morning it's all retail, not a single wholesale order. Isn't that strange?"
Su Luoluo also got up from the ground and nodded, saying, "Yes, I was worried about what price to say if wholesalers came, afraid that retail customers would hear it. But it turns out I was overthinking it."
"What's so scary about that? Just let him look at the goods first, and once he's done, lead him to the cashier and show him the computer. That's all."
"Yeah, that's right, how come I didn't think of that, hehe."
"Stop grinning like an idiot, someone's here, go serve them." Zhang Xuemei was standing right where she could see the entrance, and just then she saw a young mother carrying her child walking into the store.
Su Luoluo quickly raised her signboard and greeted them with a smile, "Welcome! What can I do for you...?"
Zhang Xuemei was about to sit down, but before her bottom even touched the chair, she stood up again and looked at the young woman with a large pregnant belly in front of her in surprise, saying, "Oh my, you must be about to give birth, why are you still wandering around? There are so many people today, you're too brave. Where are your family members? Why didn't they come with you?"
The young pregnant woman looked down, touched her belly, and smiled gently. She then said, "My husband went to the bathroom. My due date is next month, and I haven't prepared anything for the baby. I heard there's a maternity and baby store on the fifth floor, so I thought I'd come up and take a look. Boss, you have a pretty complete selection here, which is perfect for me. It saves me from having to run around everywhere."
Just then, a young man rushed in, saying with a hint of reproach, "Why did you come in alone? Didn't I tell you to sit on the chair outside and wait for me? Look how big your belly is, what if some naughty child bumps into you?"
The woman glanced at Zhang Xuemei apologetically, then smiled reassuringly, "It's alright, I know what I'm doing. Look, this is the baby store we're looking for. Let's take a look!"
The man also looked up at the clothes on the rack, his eyes lighting up. "It really is! Boss, could you help me pick out two sets of clothes for our newborn? And could you also help me get some other things the baby needs? We don't have any elderly relatives with us, so we don't know anything about this."
Seeing that they were both well-dressed and didn't seem to be short of money, Zhang Xuemei hesitated before asking, "Do you only need the baby's? Do you need the adult's too? I'll get you some things the mother will need after giving birth."
"Yes, yes, we want everything. We've just arrived in Tianshui City and haven't prepared anything. Thank you for your help, boss." The woman smiled and thanked Zhang Xuemei.
Zhang Xuemei waved her hands repeatedly, "No need, no need. I should be thanking you. You're the ones supporting my business. I'll take care of it. Don't you have any clothes for your children? If so, buying only two sets definitely won't be enough."
"It's alright, you can choose whatever you like, we have the money." The young man helped his wife sit down next to him, and then started handing her water.
Zhang Xuemei smiled knowingly at the loving young couple, took three sets of baby clothes and two thick swaddle blankets from the shelf, and handed them to them. "Do you think these clothes are okay? This thin set is for the baby to wear directly against the skin. Then I'll find you two slightly thicker sets for the outside, and then you can wrap the baby in a swaddle blanket."
The young woman reached out and touched the clothes, a satisfied smile spreading across her face. "Anything is fine, but are three sets enough? I heard that children need their clothes changed frequently, and I'm worried we won't have enough. Clothes dry quickly in the dead of winter, so let's take a few more sets!"
"Okay, I'll get them for you right away." Zhang Xuemei was overjoyed. She had really met someone who didn't lack money. He didn't even ask the price and just asked for five sets. He really didn't care about money, haha.
"By the way, do you have diapers here?" The man suddenly remembered diapers. He had seen his neighbor's child wearing a diaper before, otherwise the child would be uncomfortable if he peed or pooped in his pants.
"We don't really have that. Usually, we make them from old clothes or by cutting cotton fabric ourselves. But I do have a type of disposable baby diapers in my shop. They're used and then thrown away. Would you like to try them?"
