Chapter 258 Something went wrong, pretending to be dumb
Xia Xian looked at Zhao Zhao and asked her to repeat her instructions again, for she was afraid that Zhao Zhao had forgotten.
"I remember that my parents told me not to let anyone else know. If I found something, I had to hide it secretly. I couldn't tell anyone, and I couldn't give it to anyone else..."
Little Zhao Zhao straightened her waist and stopped shaking her chubby little feet. She began to recite Xia Xian and Quan Ruifeng's instructions seriously. She did not forget a single one.
She knew that if people found out that she had picked up so many good things, she would be in danger, so she was very careful and would not pick up things when other people were around.
"Great, Zhao Zhao remembered everything. You did a great job! Mommy is going to reward you! What do you want to eat? Mommy will take you to buy it later!"
Xia Xian rubbed her little face happily and promised her that she could buy whatever she wanted.
But usually her family spoils her and buys her whatever she wants to eat, so Zhao Zhao doesn’t want anything else. She thought for a long time and finally said.
"What do you want to eat, mom? I want to eat the same thing as you!"
"Okay, then buy a popsicle."
Xia Xian didn't want anything, but the weather was hot and she wanted to eat a popsicle to cool down. Zhao Zhao could share one with her, and a couple of licks would count as eating.
Xia Xian took Zhao Zhao and went to the clothing store. The clothing store was not far from home, just five minutes' drive away.
Originally this clothing store was very profitable, but the profits have declined recently. Although there is still profit, it is not as much as before. She has to come and see what the reason is.
After all, she has graduated and has more time. She wants to free up her hands to open more stores to make money, and she must summarize her previous experience.
When she drove to the neighborhood and before she found a suitable parking spot, she saw her own store, Monroe Coque, at a glance. The clothing store next door was crowded with people, forming a sharp contrast.
"What's going on?"
Xia Xian was a little surprised. After all, the two stores opened almost the same time, and they were not the newest ones. How could the business be so different? Could it be that the clothes bought by the neighbor were much better than hers, or that the neighbor had a big price reduction?
"Zhao Zhao, let's go down and take a look first."
"good!"
Little Zhaozhao was very cooperative and immediately got out of the car holding his mother's hand.
However, Xia Xian did not go to her own store first, but turned around and went to the clothing store next door.
"And more! Don't worry, we have plenty of stock here! I'll go to the back and get a few more pieces soon, miss, please wait for me for a moment!"
The boss lady was so busy that she didn't even care about her identity as the boss. She was as busy as the waiters.
There were a lot of customers in the room, all holding clothes and gesturing, and many people were asking about prices. Business seemed to be very good.
Xia Xian mingled among the customers and looked through the clothes in the store, but no matter how she looked at them, she didn't see any clothes that stood out. Some of the styles also overlapped with the clothes in her own store.
She went to get the goods herself, so how could she not know what clothes they sold? So it was strange, why did everyone come here to buy?
"Hello, how much is this dress?"
Xia Xian picked up a dress that everyone was looking at and asked the clerk.
Because she doesn't come here often, she only comes to her own store occasionally, takes a look around, checks the accounts, and then leaves again. The owner of the store next door may not even recognize her, let alone this new clerk.
So the new telephone operator didn't figure out anything and just answered her the price directly.
"It's only 33 yuan a piece, which is a good deal. It's nice and comfortable to wear, and it's a popular piece of clothing in our store! You have such a great figure and are so pretty, it will definitely look great on you!"
The clerk praised it sincerely, but before she could continue to sell it, she was pestered by other customers.
There was no other way. There were many customers and the proprietress had gone to the back to get the goods. She couldn't handle it all by herself, so she had to give up persuading Xia Xian and let her look at it alone like other customers.
Thirty-five yuan, one yuan more expensive than what they sell. It seems that it is not because of the price. The quality feels exactly the same as theirs, and there is no difference.
"Are there any discounts? Can you sell it to me at a lower price? Thirty dollars?"
Xia Xian frowned, looked at him, and started bargaining with the other party directly.
If the customer insists on bargaining, they will sell it for as low as 30 yuan.
But it didn't work here. When the clerk heard that she was bargaining, he waved his hands to refuse.
"No, no, we don't bargain here. Thirty-five is thirty-five, not a dime less."
"But if you buy a lot, I can give you a discount of one or two dollars, but you have to buy at least two items, and you can't buy together with others!"
The clerk was very strict. You could tell they had a lot of customers, so they weren't worried about not being able to sell the clothes and they didn't negotiate on price at all.
"Can't it be a little less? Thirty-three dollars?"
"I saw the ones next door are selling for thirty-four dollars, why are yours more expensive than theirs?"
Xia Xian started to ask questions, holding the clothes and pestering the clerk, insisting on getting to the bottom of the matter.
The clerk impatiently pushed her away and checked out other people.
"The one next door is cheaper, so go buy from next door, but be careful of being scolded for no reason, getting angry at you, and the goods they sell you are worse!"
"Although the styles of the clothes are similar, the quality is very different. If you don't believe it, go buy one and you will know."
The clerk didn't believe it, thinking that even if their computers were expensive, people would still be willing to come to their store to buy them.
It turned out that what the clerk said was right, and other customers agreed with him.
"I just went shopping next door. I came from there. The clerk there was so arrogant that she would lose her temper at anyone. It was like she was deaf when we called her. She finally heard us and she was unhappy. She said we were disturbing her."
"How can he do business like that? Anyway, we would rather come here to buy than go over there and see his temper!"
Since the customer said so, it seemed that there were indeed problems with her store. If she walked in directly, she might not get a real answer.
Xia Xian's brows were furrowed so tightly that they could kill a fly, but fortunately she did have a solution.
Xia Xian bought a silk scarf directly from a store here and wrapped her head and chin with it, leaving only her eyes and nose exposed.
She was ready, so she brought Zhao Zhao out and gave him some instructions.
"Can Zhao Zhao speak for mom later? Mom has to pretend to be mute."
