When she escaped, Sister 꺶 secretly took out her own money to buy her a ticket. The two sisters had been dependent on each other since childhood, and if she ran away this time, Sister 꺶 would definitely be beaten half to death by that beastly father.
But her elder sister threatened her with her life, "Xiaojuan, I have been ruined by my father, don't follow my old path, escape and live a good life."
Wang Juan couldn't bear to think about leaving anymore. She must find a job and save money as soon as possible to rescue her sister.
"My job is selling clothes. The salary is 20 yuan a month, and the commission is extra. Are you willing to do it?"
Now that the candidate has been finalized, Jiang Li makes a quick decision. Wang Juan is stunned for a moment and then becomes ecstatic. "Really?" She stutters a little. "Although I have never sold clothes, I am willing to learn."
Jiang Li nodded. She thought the employee was diligent and honest. She was very satisfied with him for now.
"Come with me."
Wang Juan had nothing but a bundle of paper, so she picked it up and followed Jiang Li. She was not afraid that Jiang Li would be a bad person, because she was not someone who could be fooled.
In fact, she had been in Haicheng for almost a week and wanted to work as a nanny for someone, but they either disliked her strong accent or thought she looked dirty, had lice on her head, and couldn't do anything.
She had spent all the money she had brought with her, so she had been sleeping in fear at the bottom of the bridge for the past few days. She had eaten all the biscuits she had brought with her, and she had to rely on drinking cold water to survive the whole day.
When she saw the money her boss had just lost, she could hardly control herself and thought about keeping the money so that she could at least live a few more days.
But in the end she still couldn't overcome her own pride. Picking up other people's money and not returning it was no different from being a thief.
Thank God, I didn’t expect that she found a job because of paying back the money.
Jiang Li led the man back to the store first, "Wait here, I'll be out for a while."
Wang Juan observed the surrounding environment. The store looked like it had just been renovated. There were a lot of old things piled up in the corner, as well as some wooden figures and glass boxes, and no one knew what they were used for.
Wang Juan didn't dare to move, but she didn't want to sit idle either. She saw a faucet in the backyard, so she found a mop in the store and started to clean the windows.
Jiang Li came back with two lunch boxes, which she got from the school cafeteria.
The steaming hot rice was placed in front of her. Her hungry stomach suddenly groaned violently and Wang Juan blushed.
"Eat, and then work after you are full."
It was the first time that Wang Juan had a full meal since arriving in Haicheng.
After dinner, Jiang Li told her about the situation in the store, "The store will be open in a few days, the sanitation on the first floor needs to be cleaned, and the goods need to be put out.
You are familiar with the prices of different products, and you introduce them to customers when they come."
"Can you read?"
Wang Juan nodded quickly, "I went to primary school, but only for two years."
Jiang Li was quite satisfied. "It's enough for you to recognize the characters. You can learn the complex characters later. First, learn arithmetic well. You not only sell goods, but also keep accounts."
The more Jiang Li talked, the more Wang Juan panicked. "Boss, am I the only one in such a big store?"
"Don't be nervous. I'll come over to help even if I'm not in class. Our store isn't very large, so most of the customers are students from nearby stores.
If you have any questions, just come to school and find me. I'm studying in the art department in Haicheng next door."
Wang Juan was extremely surprised. She didn't expect that the boss, who looked so capable, was still studying.
"Where are you staying tonight?"
Wang Juan held the roll and shook her head, "I haven't found one yet." She mustered up her courage and said, "Boss, can I stay here temporarily? Don't worry, I will never mess with the things in the store."
Jiang Li was a little worried. "It's okay to live here, but there's nothing in the store. Someone used to live here, but the furniture was moved away. Can you live here?"
"Sure! I just need a place to live," Wang Juan was very happy. This shop with doors and windows that could be locked was much better than the bridge hole that was drafty on all sides.
Wang Juan planned to use newspaper as a mattress to sleep, but Jiang Li had someone fix a broken wooden bed for her, covering it with the water tap and coal stove in the backyard.
Wang Juan didn't know how to use the coal stove, so Jiang Li taught her. In the evening, she took a nice hot bath. With her hair still half wet, she ate two hot steamed buns, and tears came to her eyes as she ate.
The boss is so good to her, she must work harder and sell more things for the boss. When she makes money, she will take Sister Xiao over.
In the remaining few days, Jiang Li was busy with Wang Juan ironing clothes and tidying up the store. Wang Juan couldn't sit still. She cherished this rare job opportunity very much and was almost nervous.
She worked when she had work to do, and she was not idle when she had nothing to do. She memorized product prices, learned arithmetic, and memorized the words that Jiang Li taught her to introduce products to customers.
Jiang Li paid two days' wages in advance and asked Wang Juan to buy two new sets of clothes. After washing off the dust, Wang Juan looked thin and small, but she looked well-dressed and energetic, and looked presentable.
Finally, the day of the grand opening arrived. After the firecrackers were set off in the morning, Jiang Li unveiled the red sign, "This is a clothing store."
The news of the opening of the clothing store posted on the storefront has been hyped for a week, and Jiang Li at school has also hired people to distribute flyers. By showing the flyers, one can enjoy a 10% discount within three days of the opening.
In addition to the autumn clothes that Jiang Li bought in Guangzhou, the store also sells the most popular glass stockings and white wedge-heeled sandals, as well as earrings, belts, hair ties and other accessories.
Jiang Li's stall was already famous near Haicheng University, and with the preheating during this period, people were lining up before it opened.
Wang Juan was shocked when she saw this scene. She didn't expect the boss's store to be so famous.
Seeing several customers coming in, Jiang Li pushed Wang Juan and motioned her to come forward to receive them.
"Hello, welcome to this clothing store. What would you like to see? I can introduce it to you."
Wang Juan spoke haltingly at first, but became more fluent later on.
The customers who first came were all here to buy hair bands for the discounts. Everyone knows that the things sold at the stalls in Jiangli are almost never discounted, but as they walked around, their eyes were dazzled.
The hairband sparkled in the glass cabinet. The mannequin was wearing a set of clothes: a wide-leg retro suit with black flared pants. A metal belt was used in the middle to define the waist. It looked very fashionable and novel.
Seeing Wang Juan was a little nervous, Jiang Li stepped forward to introduce her, "These clothes are from Yangcheng in the south. They are the most popular now.
Paired with white square earrings, you will definitely be the most eye-catching person on the street. ”
