Chapter 343 Provocation (Two chapters in one)
"Mom, I'm hungry. Go outside and buy me two roujiamo (Chinese roujiamo) without fat, but with vegetables and eggs. Also give me a bowl of red bean porridge. Don't forget to add some sugar." Su Jiaojiao saw that someone had come to challenge her, so she specially asked Chen Guilan to leave.
Chen Guilan didn't know Bai Moli and didn't know the inside story, so she just responded and walked out.
The girl who came with Bai Moli urged her to buy a puff-sleeved short-sleeved shirt: "Moli, it looks really good on you, and it's only thirty yuan!"
Bai Moli looked around the store again and again, still with a look of disgust on her face: "It's not as beautiful as you say, it's just so-so, all cheap stuff, let's go."
"This one is nice, let me try it." The little girl refused to leave.
"Bai Moli, Wang Xuan, why are you here?" Another little girl walked in. Wang Xuan was trying on clothes. When she turned around and saw her, she immediately waved at her, "Yu Min, come here quickly. Help me take a look at this dress."
A white dress made of chiffon material with a square neckline and a fitted waist.
Wang Xuan became more and more satisfied as she looked at it, and she even took the initiative to go to the fitting room to try it on.
There was no fitting room in the store originally. Because of the arrival of this batch of goods, Cai Ting and Chen Guilan temporarily set up a fitting room with scraps of cloth. It was simple and practical.
Wang Xuan found the dress fitting her perfectly. She asked Su Jiaojiao, "Boss, how much is this dress?"
"Classmate, you have great taste. This skirt, both in color and shape, suits your skin tone perfectly. Just give me eighty for it." Su Jiaojiao helped her adjust her collar. "Chiffon is a material that doesn't pill or wrinkle, and it's breathable. Compared to fabrics of the same price, chiffon offers a better value for money. Don't worry about it."
Humph, you can say that.
Bai Moli sneered in her heart. No wonder her cousin was so bewitched by her. Today she finally experienced it.
"Make it cheaper!" Yu Min took the initiative to help Wang Xuan lower the price.
"Classmate, I didn't ask you for more money. What's your target price?" Su Jiaojiao asked her with a smile.
"Sixty or so..." Yu Min hesitated as he helped Wang Xuan bargain.
"Classmate, your friend is such a bargaining expert. He's cut off all my profit." Su Jiaojiao said with a smile, "Okay, sixty is sixty. Consider it a free gift for you."
"Thank you, boss!" Wang Xuan was very happy.
Yu Min was even happier after her successful bargaining. She also went forward to select clothes. She liked the horseshoe-sleeved short-sleeved suit and tried it on Bai Moli. Bai Moli looked disdainful and said, "If you want to buy it, go try it on yourself. I don't like these clothes that are 30 or 50 years old. They are all cheap goods."
"Oh, keep your voice down. It's not good if the boss hears." Yu Min whispered to Bai Moli. Bai Moli snorted coldly, "So what if she hears?"
"You are really my eldest daughter." Yu Min smiled embarrassedly.
"Since you're here, you should at least pick something out!" Wang Xuan knew Bai Moli's family was relatively well-off, so she asked Su Jiaojiao, "Do you have any nicer clothes?"
"This one, and this one, are both more suitable for this student." Su Jiaojiao had indeed heard it. She picked out four or five pieces of clothing and placed them in front of Bai Moli, saying calmly, "These are the treasures of my store, but they are a little expensive. I wonder if this student can accept it?"
Bai Moli has an ordinary appearance and is not very tall. She has a pair of bright eyes and a good temperament.
She is definitely not the type of consumer who wears street goods.
"The price is definitely not a problem. The main thing is that you like it." Wang Xuan smiled and picked up a white three-quarter sleeve suit and put it on Bai Moli to measure it. "Moli, don't you like wearing suits? This one looks great."
"This white suit is 580 yuan. It's a limited edition, and we only have this one." Su Jiaojiao's smile did not fade. "It suits this classmate's temperament very well. If you like it, go try it on."
Five hundred and eight?
Wang Xuan gasped. It was too expensive. She put down her clothes sheepishly and picked up another long plaid sun-protective jacket. "What about this one?"
"Three hundred yuan will do for this one." Su Jiaojiao let Wang Xuan and Bai Moli feel the fabric and explained, "Look, this is printed plain cloth. It's very comfortable to wear. Even in the hottest weather, you won't feel stuffy. It's truly worth the money."
"It's quite expensive." Wang Xuan was too embarrassed to speak when she saw Bai Moli remained silent. Yu Min changed her clothes and came out, touching the fabric. "It's quite good. Take one, Moli!"
Bai Moli was so angry that she almost died.
Why are they worth thirty or fifty, but hers is worth three hundred or five hundred?
Did Su Jiaojiao do it on purpose?
"I'm sorry, maybe the ones I picked out are a bit expensive and didn't satisfy this student. The main reason is that I think these clothes really suit this student's temperament." Seeing that Bai Moli was unmoved, Su Jiaojiao took out two other dresses and showed them to Bai Moli, "These two are relatively cheap, 180 yuan each. If you take both, 300 yuan will be enough."
"Boss, my classmate isn't short of money. Just bring out the best clothes in your store." Yu Min was very satisfied with the suit she tried on. Su Jiaojiao accepted the sixty yuan from her and said with a faint smile, "Actually, clothes aren't necessarily better the more expensive they are. The best ones are the ones that suit you."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Yu Min and Wang Xuan nodded repeatedly.
The two of them looked at Su Jiaojiao secretly. The boss looked about the same age as them, with fair skin, beautiful looks, and a graceful demeanor. He was also very good at talking, and what he said made people feel comfortable listening to him.
Bai Moli felt that Su Jiaojiao was hypocritical. She said things against her will in order to sell goods. She was talking about whether they were suitable or not. These were obviously cheap goods.
"If this classmate thinks it's expensive, just get the same thing as them." Su Jiaojiao showed Bai Moli the puff-sleeved top that Wang Xuan bought and the suit that Yu Min bought. "We're all good friends, so we don't mind wearing the same clothes. We can save a little bit."
"That one, this one, and this skirt too, I want them all." Bai Moli took the two clothes in a huff and put them together with the black dress without even trying them on. "Check out!"
Su Jiaojiao wanted to embarrass her in front of her classmates, but that was impossible!
"You'd better try it on!" Wang Xuan saw that Bai Moli's face looked wrong, but she didn't know why she was angry.
"Yes, yes, yes, such expensive clothes, you have to try them on." Yu Min also asked her to go over and try them on.
"No need to try it on. If it doesn't fit, just put it away." Bai Moli took out her wallet and looked at Su Jiaojiao provocatively. "How much?"
"Since you're a group buying clothes at my store, I have to show my sincerity and give this classmate a 20% discount." Su Jiaojiao picked up the calculator on the table, did some calculations, and her tone became increasingly gentle. "These three pieces of clothing are a total of 1,060 yuan, and with an 20% discount, the total will be 800 yuan."
"Eight hundred yuan, that's a little over two hundred yuan per piece." Wang Xuan calculated the bill carefully. It was quite expensive for them, but for Bai Moli, it was okay...
Bai Moli counted out eight hundred yuan and put it on the table: "Eight hundred is eight hundred!"
Su Jiaojiao carefully packed the three pieces of clothing for her, put them in a bag, collected the money, and said to the three people with a smile, "Our store launches new styles every once in a while. Everyone is welcome to visit us next time."
"Goodbye, boss!" Wang Xuan and Yu Min walked out happily.
Only Bai Moli was carrying a bag of clothes, looking unhappy. The more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. Was she being plotted against by Su Jiaojiao?
But she couldn't find any flaws in Su Jiaojiao. She realized belatedly that Su Jiaojiao must know her and deliberately sold her at a high price.
Su Jiaojiao clearly knew that she was Lu Jingyou's cousin, but she still dared to treat her like this. It was obvious that she didn't take Lin Manli seriously. She was deliberately provoking Lin Manli. It must be like this!
She wants to go back and complain.
Su Jiaojiao doesn't respect the Lu family at all. For someone like her, she still wants to marry Lu Jingyou? Don't even think about it!
Su Jiaojiao put the eight hundred coins into her pocket and suddenly realized a problem. Why should she worry about being suppressed?
Is she worried about her own lack of ability, or is it due to her personality?
Although she suffered emotional setbacks in her previous life, her entrepreneurial journey was relatively smooth and she had no particularly targeted competitors.
The appearance of Lu Jingyou in this life brought her many unknown opportunities and risks. It was impossible for her to accept opportunities and avoid risks.
Opportunities and risks coexist.
There's no way to escape.
Unless, she is willing to hide behind Lu Jingyou for the rest of her life and be the woman behind him.
But being the woman behind a man is the most difficult thing. If she does not have a strong family background to support her, she will be eliminated sooner or later.
So, she has to stand in the sun, accept opportunities, accept risks, and accept challenges from everyone, because she can't avoid it.
Thinking of this, she suddenly felt relieved.
If the enemy comes, we will fight him; if the water comes, we will block it with earth. What is she afraid of?
At worst, she could just use her new fiancé to block it, otherwise, what was the point of him?
Bai Moli never dreamed that her small provocation would arouse Su Jiaojiao's fighting spirit.
As soon as the three left, Chen Guilan came back with roujiamo and porridge, and another wave of customers came in one after another.
Chen Guilan asked Su Jiaojiao to eat the meal while it was hot, and she went forward alone to serve the customers who came into the store. In fact, these clothes were quite easy to sell, and the asking price was eighty, ninety, or even one hundred.
Anyway, people who buy clothes will bargain, and then the price will be reduced to thirty or fifty depending on the specific style. After all, the cost price of each piece of clothing is only more than twenty yuan.
The Roujiamo tastes very good, with visible chunks of meat, juicy and delicious. The red bean porridge is soft and delicious, and added sugar makes it even sweeter.
A roujiamo costs 2.5 yuan, and a cup of red bean porridge costs 1 yuan.
Her meal cost six dollars.
Bai Moli can eat many roujiamo with the 800 yuan, it’s worth it!
Sales were good during the day, so Su Jiaojiao and Chen Guilan closed the shop early and returned to Jinyuan.
Ding Linyu and Cai Ting had not returned from driving practice yet, so Chen Guilan started preparing dinner as soon as she entered the house.
Su Jiaojiao asked her to rest for a while, but she refused. She said she was not tired and that she could not stay for a few days and could not cook for many meals.
Su Jiaojiao had no choice but to let her do what she wanted. It was so nice to have her mother around!
With nothing to do, Su Jiaojiao went to the bathroom to take a shower, changed into home clothes, and went into the room to write the production process sheet for the floral shirt. Anyway, these were her jobs.
I was halfway through writing when I heard someone knocking on the door.
Su Jiaojiao thought it was Cai Ting and Ding Linyu who had returned, so she opened the door and said, "Didn't you two take your keys?"
Unexpectedly, it was Yu Tian standing outside the door. She smiled at Su Jiaojiao and said, "Hi, long time no see!"
"Long time no see." Su Jiaojiao hadn't seen Yu Tian for more than a year. She was still as sweet and beautiful as ever, wearing a white top and black skirt, with short hair that reached her ears, looking very much like a female student in the Republic of China era.
Chen Guilan heard Yu Tian coming and came out of the kitchen to greet her warmly: "Xiao Yu, talk to Jiao Jiao for a while, and we will have dinner together later."
"Thank you, Auntie." Yu Tian smiled.
In fact, Su Jiaojiao was not familiar with Yu Tian. They only met once at the Qingyuan Trade Fair. Then she went out and saw Li Nuo fall into the water. Then she returned to Jiao County.
Even though she knew in her previous life that Yu Tian was Qin Xiuming's girlfriend, she was not familiar with her.
Everyone who comes is a guest.
Su Jiaojiao made tea for Yu Tian and opened the box of nuts for Yu Tian to eat.
These nuts were brought by Chen Guilan. In fact, the capital has everything, but she insisted on bringing them, insisting that the ones from her hometown are the best.
"Aunt Qin told me that you were here." Su Jiaojiao poured herself a cup of tea. She knew that there was a conflict between Qin Xiuming and Yu Tian, but she didn't want to ask.
"Today is Xiuming's grandparents' birthday. I went there too. I just came back from their house." Yu Tian slowly drank water from the cup, looking lonely. "I didn't want to go, but Xiuming's grandmother insisted that I go. I know this will be my last visit to their house."
"Why?" Su Jiaojiao asked her.
Yu Tian was silent for a while before she said, "He doesn't like me."
"You two have been dating for more than a year, right?" Su Jiaojiao could understand Yu Tian's feelings very well. In his previous life, Qin Xiuming dumped her for Yu Tian, but he and Yu Tian did not end up together. After breaking up with Yu Tian, he shamelessly turned back and pestered her for a while.
After she broke up with Qin Xiuming completely, she did not deliberately inquire about Qin Xiuming's love life, but she heard that he had been in close contact with an 18th-tier celebrity for quite a while.
But it still didn't come to fruition.
She had no idea what kind of woman Qin Xiuming wanted.
"One year and three months." Yu Tian remembered it clearly, and said sadly, "He was indifferent to me at the beginning. I thought he was in school and I had just graduated, so we started as friends. But as time went on, he still treated me the same way. It wasn't until two months ago that I found out that he had been close to a young star on the crew while filming..."
Su Jiaojiao understood.
It was the same in her previous life. In this life, perhaps Qin Xiuming knew that she was having an affair with Lu Jingyou, so he didn't bother her.
"After Aunt Qin found out, she scolded him, but he wouldn't listen." Yu Tian forced a smile. "My parents do business abroad, and my uncle is always away from home. I've hardly ever felt the warmth of a family. Aunt Qin treated me well, so I thought Xiuming would treat me well too. Who knew..."
Who knew that she was not as good as an 18th-tier celebrity.
It's funny to say, she had no idea about this until the little star came over and told her.
She originally thought that Qin Xiuming would explain to her, but he didn't explain to her at all. He just said, let her think whatever she wants.
"What is the Lu family's attitude?" Su Jiaojiao asked her.
"His grandparents criticized him and told him not to associate with that little star. They told us to get along well, and he agreed." Yu Tian put down the cup in her hand and shook her head. "But I won't agree. I can't let him and that little star trample on my self-esteem and rub it under their feet."
"A forced melon is not sweet." Su Jiaojiao felt deeply.
"Actually, my uncle doesn't agree with us breaking up. He said he has a partnership with the Lu family." Yu Tian looked at Su Jiaojiao and suddenly asked, "Jiaojiao, what kind of person do you think Lu Jingyou is?"
"Why do you ask?" Su Jiaojiao's heart moved slightly.
How does this matter involve Lu Jingyou?
