Bad news from the sky
Deng Bitong's event on Thursday night finally made a splash within the factory, at least letting everyone around her know about the existence of Shen Ya Clothing Store.
Did people around them spread the word? They promoted Deng Bitong to everyone they knew, and she also changed into a fancy outfit on Friday.
A pink dress with a fishtail skirt. This style is extremely complex and difficult to make. A small mistake in cutting will make the entire piece of fabric become waste.
But the fishtail looks good when walking! It sways and shines, and it is just walking in everyone's heart!
Deng Bitong was no longer so aloof and unapproachable that day. After the ice-breaking event on Thursday night, the interested female workers gathered around her and asked her a lot of questions.
Deng Bitong answered patiently, hoping that they could go to Shen Ya Clothing Store to buy more clothes after get off work tonight.
Deng Bitong spent the entire Friday feeling a bit excited and absent-minded, because today was the day to test the fruits of her labor. She wondered how many people had been persuaded to buy clothes at Shen Ya after a week of hard work promoting the products.
Thinking of this, Deng Bitong hurriedly shouted to the group of people: "Oh, oh, if you go to buy clothes, don't forget to mention my name to the boss!"
"Mention my name and say you're Deng Bitong's friend, and he'll give you a little gift. It's a great opportunity to take advantage of it!"
She was afraid that some people would want to show off their unwillingness to take advantage of others, so they would listen to her sales pitch and buy clothes without mentioning their names. Then she wouldn't even get the share of the profit she deserved!
Fortunately, what Deng Bitong was worried about should not happen.
As soon as they heard Deng Bitong's suggestion, a female worker immediately started joking with him with a smile.
"Tongtong, why are you so anxious? Are you afraid that we won't take advantage of you?"
"Yes, yes, your relatives will be unhappy if you say that!"
Deng Bitong smiled gently, "Why would he be unhappy? After all, he's a relative of such status. Besides, if you go to buy something for him, he'll have to thank you. If there's anything wrong, remember to come back and tell me, and I'll make sure to explain it to you clearly!"
At this point, she sighed deeply, looking a little embarrassed. "Ah, it's all my fault that you decided to go there to buy clothes. If you have any questions, you can come to me. I'm determined to do something for you. Don't be shy, just come and ask. I'll tell you everything I know. If you don't know what to wear, you can ask me. After all, I grew up surrounded by clothes, so I can definitely pick out all kinds of suitable clothes for you!"
So someone bravely asked, "Really? Is it really possible? Sister Tongtong, can you pick out some nice clothes for us? It doesn't have to be the one you're wearing. You're too tall and I'm too short to wear it, but can you help me find some clothes that would suit me better?"
Seeing her goal achieved, Deng Bitong immediately agreed with a smile: "Of course, of course, of course. How about this: let's go there tonight after get off work. I'll go with you guys, and I'm sure we can pick out clothes that suit us! There are so many clothes there. Speaking of which, I haven't been there for a week. I don't know if they've got any good stuff in the past seven days. Thinking of this makes me itchy. Do you want to join us?"
"Okay, okay, Sister Tongtong, if you are going tonight, we will go with you!" The female workers around her immediately agreed. After getting along with each other for a few days, they found that Deng Bitong was not the cold-hearted person she seemed to be. Although she always had a calm expression and didn't talk much, it seemed that nothing could catch her eye.
But only when you have real long-term contact with her, you will find out what a lively and lovely girl she is. She is just like all other girls of this age, loving beauty and being lively, no different.
Why on earth did they find Deng Bitong so difficult to approach before? She was clearly very approachable, like a big sister next door! Didn't they hear what she just said? She even took the initiative to invite them to go to the clothing store tonight to pick out clothes. She's so experienced, she can definitely help them pick out some nice clothes!
Deng Bitong chatted with the female workers for a while and finalized the matter. When they finally parted ways, she was still a little worried and turned back to solemnly instruct them, "By the way, you must remember this: if you decide to buy it, you must tell the boss that I introduced it to you, otherwise you won't get the gift!"
"Okay, okay, I remember, I remember!"
"Don't worry, we will definitely remember it!"
Why is Sister Tongtong so anxious, afraid that we won’t have any gifts to give?
Deng Bitong was certainly not worried that they would not get any gifts, but was worried that she would not get the commission she deserved.
For the female workers who had an appointment to go shopping for clothes, today's commute became particularly boring. Although it was the same eight hours of work as usual, it felt particularly long to them. The day passed by like a long time, and they couldn't wait to hear the bell to get off work in the next second.
After finally getting to the end of the get off work day, they finally got up and, led by Deng Bitong, rushed directly to the Shen Ya Clothing Store.
As soon as Deng Bitong entered the store, she saw Jian Jianan who was busy at the cash register. When Jian Jianan saw Deng Bitong and the group of female workers behind her, he immediately understood. The two of them nodded and greeted each other. They had a tacit understanding and everything was said without words.
The group of female workers surrounding Deng Bitong watched their actions and understood. It seemed that what Sister Tongtong said was right. She and the owner of Shen Ya Clothing Store were indeed somewhat related, but not very closely. It could be seen from the two of them greeting each other enthusiastically but not at all intimately. Maybe that was just the extent of their acquaintance!
Thinking about it this way, the gift opportunities that Deng Bitong has fought for themselves are extremely precious. They must choose carefully later and not let Sister Tongtong down!
When Jian Jianan saw Deng Bitong bringing so many people with her, he knew that she must have been working very hard to recommend products in the factory this week. He had observed Deng Bitong before and found that she was not a good talker. Jian Jianan speculated that a big reason why Deng Bitong spoke so little and didn't like to talk was probably because she was not good at talking. Over time, she didn't like to talk so much.
But now, Deng Bitong was surrounded by the female workers, who stared at her with admiration and sparkling eyes. She talked incessantly, first to a cute round-faced girl behind her, and then handed her a short dress.
"Oh, this kind of clothing is perfect for your figure. Don't be afraid of showing your legs or something like that. Some flesh can't be hidden. On the contrary, if you show some skin appropriately, it will be more harmonious and beautiful!"
It turned out that the little girl had never tried wearing a short skirt before, but out of trust in Deng Bitong, she still took the dress and thought about going to the fitting room to change into it.
Then, Deng Bitong turned around and looked another female worker up and down, then accurately took out a piece of clothing from a corner and stuffed it into her arms, "Here, you can try it on too. You and I are about the same height, so we have a lot in common. And I've noticed you for a long time. You have a very thin waist, so these belted clothes are suitable for you."
The girl in front of him was tall and strong. She was about 1.7 meters tall, close to 1.8 meters tall, in her twenties. In fact, she was even taller than Deng Bitong. She liked to eat meat, eggs and milk since she was a child, but she was always criticized by people around her for being too tall and strong. Those people said: "This girl is so tall. What will happen when she grows up? If she continues to grow like this, she will not be able to get married when she is so tall. No man will dare to marry her!"
But today, Deng Bitong looked at her for a few seconds and picked out suitable clothes for her. She took them into the fitting room with a firm look. Deng Bitong, who was the same height as her, could wear such suitable clothes, so why couldn't she?
Deng Bitong was like a most experienced orchestra conductor and a military general. She calmly recommended the most suitable clothes for each person based on their specific physical conditions, and then asked them to go into the fitting room to change.
Jian Jianan propped up his head at the cashier, listening carefully to their subsequent movements. Aside from the first three days of booming business, Shenya Clothing Store's customer traffic and sales had been declining, and it was a steady decline. While there were still people coming in every day, it was impossible to replicate the bustling scene of a single day.
This reminded Jian Jianan of the scene at the Nanbei Hotel. Although the Nanbei Hotel was also the most popular during the first three days after its opening, there were times afterwards when it was even more popular than that time, which was a stark contrast to the Shen Ya Clothing Store.
Jian Jianan felt that this was normal. After all, among food, clothing, housing and transportation, food is a necessity that everyone has to eat every day, but clothes are not.
I wonder if the idea she came up with with Deng Bitong today can break the deadlock and attract more customers.
Soon, the female workers were guided by Deng Bitong to change into suitable clothes and came out of the fitting room one by one.
The first one to come out was the round-faced girl. She stood in front of the fitting room and looked at her reflection for a long time, somewhat incredulous. Was the slim girl in there really herself?
Deng Bitong stepped forward and patted her shoulder, then asked her in a tone she had anticipated: "Isn't that so? I've told you before, these short skirts are best for you. Knee-length, showing off your calves is the best. Don't be afraid, don't think you have to hide your flesh just because you have too much flesh. That's the wrong idea. Your figure isn't fat at all. Even if you take a step back, you can only be called slightly plump. If you know how to dress, you can look very good in them. Choose clothes like this in the future!"
The round-faced girl nodded heavily: "Yes, I understand. I will definitely listen to you from now on!"
She used to think she was fat and wanted to hide it, so that no one could see her weight. But her jeans were tight, and every time she passed by a mirror, she didn't dare look at herself in it, for fear of seeing a muscular bullfrog. "Bullfrog" was the nickname the naughty boys gave her at school as a teasing nickname.
But now, Deng Bitong took her to Shen Ya Clothing Store to pick out a new dress for herself. When she looked at herself in the mirror, she suddenly felt that those boys were really rude and deserved to be beaten!
Next is the girl who is taller than Deng Bitong.
Since she was a child, her family has always worried about her because she is too tall, too strong, and too big. Their family has many concerns about her, one of which is "It's hard to choose clothes when you are so tall!"
But today, Deng Bitong picked out a puff-sleeved dress for her with a belt crossed at the waist. Although she didn't know how to tie a bow, Deng Bitong gently walked behind her waist and tied the bow for her.
After everything was done, she looked at herself in the mirror. The modern girl was tall, well-proportioned, and graceful. The tall girl suddenly felt that she had changed a lot compared to her childhood self! Although she was getting taller, her mind had also matured. If she could meet her childhood self, she would definitely hold her hand and encourage her, saying, "Eat, eat as much as you can. You need to eat more to grow taller and stronger. When you grow up, no one will say that to you anymore!"
Jian Jianan felt that Deng Bitong was born to be in the clothing sales industry. You could see her moving among these girls. Whenever a female worker had a question, she would shout at the top of her voice, "Sister Tongtong!" At this time, Deng Bitong would fly to them like a butterfly to answer their questions. Who else could be more suitable to be a clothing salesperson than her? Even if Jian Jianan, who had a father who was extremely talented in this area, saw this, he would think that Deng Bitong was the one being chased by God and fed.
It was eight o'clock in the evening. They stayed in Shen Ya Clothing Store for a few hours. Everyone had picked out clothes that they were satisfied with, and it was time to go back.
Someone patted their hungry stomach, accidentally overstaying their welcome while choosing clothes, not noticing they were already hungry. They just paid the bill, so they decided to go eat later.
The female workers gathered around and extended an invitation to Deng Bitong: "Thank you so much, Sister Tongtong, for helping us pick out nice clothes today. Why don't you let us treat you to dinner?"
Deng Bitong smiled and tried to refuse again and again, but finally she couldn't refuse anymore and nodded in agreement.
The female workers immediately smiled happily and continued to huddle with her as they came to the cashier to pay. When Jian Jianan saw Deng Bitong, he started to act out the scene very well, "So it's our Sister Tongtong, so these are your friends, right? Then let's all give them a small gift!"
Deng Bitong nodded modestly.
There weren't many people in the store right now. Ai Jia and other salespeople who were multitasking came forward to help Jian Jianan register their names, pack the new clothes they had picked out, and stuff the promised gifts into their bags one by one.
When Deng Bitong left, she turned around and looked at Jian Jianan at the cashier. The meaning was clear: she had worked so hard last week, and the outcome would depend on the weekend.
When she comes here to see Jian Jianan on Sunday, she will know how many people have placed orders through her after a week of hard work!
Deng Bitong was not idle during the weekend. After she returned home on Friday, the girls she had taken to pick out clothes started to promote her vigorously after returning to the factory. They all praised Deng Bitong for her patience, unique vision, and beautiful clothes she picked.
The girls washed their new clothes that night, hung them up to dry, and wore them the next day. This small group of seven or eight people immediately became a popular sight in the toy factory, and some even wore their new clothes to go on dates with their boyfriends the next day.
In the past, only Deng Bitong wore Shen Ya. Others were curious but had not made up their minds. However, people have a herd mentality and will follow the trend. Now, more and more people are wearing Shen Ya, and they all look so good. When everyone sees this example, they can immediately imagine what the same Shen Ya clothes would look like on themselves, and they can't help but feel moved. Even if they don't rush to Shen Ya clothing store to buy clothes immediately, the next time they need to buy clothes, the balance in their hearts will tilt towards Shen Ya clothing store.
Deng Bitong and Jian Jianan’s idea was thus reached.
Deng Bitong continued to work busy in the factory for two more days. In order to sell goods, she slept in the factory this week and did not go home for a single night. This made Deng's father and mother a little worried, and they called and came to the factory to chat with her.
Deng Bitong had no choice but to comfort him: "I'm doing something big, Mom and Dad, don't worry! I'll be home when I finish my work!"
But it must be said that Deng Bitong's hard work was very effective. Under her leadership, the female workers in the toy factory changed into clothes from Shen Ya Clothing Store one by one. She used to sleep until she woke up naturally on weekends, but now this little wish cannot be fulfilled.
Every time she gets up now, there is already a group of people gathered at the dormitory door. They are all female workers, waiting for their trusted sister Tongtong to take them to Shenya Clothing Store to help them pick out clothes!
Deng Bitong was very happy to see the success despite being busy and tired. More and more people signed up for her job, and her commissions were also increasing. Who would complain that the money they earned was not enough? They would only complain that the money was not enough.
In this way, on the last day of the week, Sunday, Deng Bitong saw off the last wave of customers in the store, looked at Jian Jianan tacitly, declined the suggestion of going back to the factory with the other female workers, and stayed to watch the results of this week with Jian Jianan.
Jian Jianan pulled out a gift registration form. This form recorded everyone who had registered Deng Bitong's name to claim the gifts. Registering her name meant buying through her. There was no limit on the quantity or number of gifts, meaning the more you bought, the more you got. No matter how many items you bought, you got one. This made it easy to see how much influence Deng Bitong had on the situation.
Deng Bitong confidently took the table and began to read it. Then, when she saw the final statistics, she exclaimed in disbelief, her delicate eyebrows furrowed. "So few people!"
Jian Jianan laughed, "How much more do you want? I think this number is pretty good!"
Deng Bitong was very dissatisfied. She curled her lips and pointed at the number on the data sheet: "I thought I could get a hundred pieces, but I'm only halfway there. How can I be satisfied?"
Perhaps it was because Jian Jianan had left a very deep impression on Deng Bitong after interacting with her these days, Deng Bitong felt that Jian Jianan was a peer of her age, rather than a high school student who had just entered the first year of high school.
As a result, Deng Bitong couldn't help but speak to Jian Jianan in the tone of voice that only people of the same age would use. After hearing this, Jian Jianan didn't seem angry at all. Instead, he said with a smile, "I think this number is normal. You shouldn't have other ideas. After all, we've just started, and this model is what we've just started trying. It's normal that there aren't that many at the beginning!"
Sixty-six pieces. This is all the results of Deng Bitong's first week of selling goods. They gave out a total of sixty-six gifts. Of course, this number does not count the number of people who came to buy clothes. This number does not mean that there were a total of sixty-six people who came to buy clothes. It only means that they sold a total of sixty-six more clothes through Deng Bitong as an intermediary.
In other words, if Deng Bitong hadn't been there, they wouldn't have been able to sell these sixty or so pieces of clothing.
Deng Bitong was still a little sad. She had originally thought that with her appeal and ability to sell goods, she should be able to sell close to a hundred goods in the first week. However, she only sold a little over half of them. This greatly undermined her self-confidence and she couldn't help but doubt whether the good popularity she had gained in the factory this week was real.
Jian Jianan glanced at Deng Bitong, her gaze seemed to be able to see through her skin and clearly see Deng Bitong's inner thoughts. She spoke with some seriousness: "Sister Tongtong, I know what you are thinking, but you must not have such thoughts. You are not making friends with the purpose of getting them to buy things. I think you should change your mindset now. You should cultivate their love of beauty in the factory and guide them to come to Shen Ya Clothing Store for consumption. But this does not mean that after you become friends with them, you have to force every one of them to buy clothes from Shen Ya and create sales for you. If your mind is not pure and you make friends with such utilitarian ideas, then I don't think you can build a social network!"
Deng Bitong originally had a bit of resentment on her face, but when she heard Jian Jianan's harsh words, she immediately became serious. She also realized in her heart that she had been thinking too much and had gone astray. She had to thank Jian Jianan for his just-in-time words that pulled her back.
But Deng Bitong still had to save face after all, and said unhappily: "Okay, okay, okay, okay, I understand. Thank you so much for the advice from Boss Jian. I was just stimulated by this number just now, and I accidentally thought about it in the wrong way! I understand, I understand what you mean, isn't it just to treat them as friends? In fact, I am not that utilitarian. Although my thoughts were not pure at the beginning, after getting to know them, I found that they are all very lively and lovely girls. They are so fresh, and I think some girls' little thoughts about beauty are also very cute. You know, I sincerely want to pick beautiful clothes for them and dress them up beautifully, not just for my commission!"
Jian Jianan believed Deng Bitong's words very much, because she had seen Deng Bitong picking clothes for others. Her eyes were focused as if she was doing the most sacred job in the world. If a girl didn't like the combination she gave, Deng Bitong would be a little angry, thinking that the girl had no taste.
But she didn't say much, but continued to devote herself to the new round of clothes picking with high morale, vowing to pick clothes that people liked and were satisfied with!
Jian Jianan smiled and said, "Yeah, I understand, I understand everything. I also think that Sister Tongtong, you really like clothes, which is why you took this job. Otherwise, if you don't really like it, you can just continue to be a female worker in the factory. Why spend so much extra time on selling clothes!"
Jian Jianan immediately flattered Deng Bitong and praised her so highly, which made Deng Bitong feel a little embarrassed. She felt guilty and hesitated, not daring to look at Jian Jianan or make eye contact with him. In fact, Deng Bitong was still a little guilty, as she did a part-time job for money, not entirely for such a noble reason as Jian Jianan said.
The conversation returned to the data sheet. Jian Jianan comforted Deng Bitong, "Don't be fooled by the fact that we didn't sell much this week and the numbers aren't good, but I'll tell you a secret. Actually, a lot of people come to see us at Shen Ya, but many of them can't make a deal. Many people just come to look and leave. The reason is that our prices are relatively high. Although the people in the factory have good salaries, only a few people are willing to spend a dozen yuan to buy clothes."
"A combination of various factors led to the above results. You think this week's data is not good. But have you ever thought carefully? Although the numbers are small, almost all the girls who followed you placed orders! The order conversion rate is 99%. And each person not only bought one piece of clothing, but also bought three, four, or even five pieces! This is all thanks to you alone!"
"You think this number is small now because the base is small. If you continue to work hard and vigorously promote this brand so that more and more people know about it, then more and more people will follow you and place orders!"
Deng Bitong thought about what Jian Jianan said and found that it was indeed the case.
She had overestimated herself from the beginning, and originally thought that she was some rare genius in selling products. She would walk around the factory in her new clothes and show off in front of people, and countless people would flock to her after hearing her recommendations.
Why? They're not ignorant or irrational! Why do they think your words are like a drug that can make people lose their minds?
Deng Bitong sighed secretly. The revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard!
It seems that I have to work harder and harder in the coming week!
In the following time, the two of them made a rough plan on what to promote in the last week.
After the deal was settled, Deng Bitong took the commission she deserved and left.
330 yuan!
She asked, which woman who buys clothes can make more money than she does from her hobby?
Watching Deng Bitong leave, Jian Jianan looked at her back and fell into thought.
Jian Jianan has been staying in the store these days, observing the various customers in the store. She was surprised to find a huge difference between a clothing store and a restaurant.
That is, most people who enter a restaurant are hungry, and a large proportion of them sit down and consume after smelling the food. However, most people who enter a clothing store are there to browse.
Because the Shen Ya brand is newly opened, although everyone was impressed when they first saw it, they were not very trusting.
Besides, clothes and pants are not necessities. If you skip a meal, you will feel hungry. And clothes can be washed today and worn tomorrow.
Even if you have money, you can't buy new clothes every day.
Even if people try it and like it very much, they will still think about not buying it today and wait and see for a few days.
Since the first three days of the opening, when the most people came to buy, the traffic and sales in Shen Ya have been steadily declining. Although Jian Jianan knows that this is a normal change, business has ups and downs. The sales in the first three days of the opening are the highest peak, and then they will slowly decrease over time, getting lower and lower. This is a truth that everyone knows.
When it first opens, people will come to see it because it is new and novel, but as time goes by, they will not come anymore.
After seeing it clearly, Jian Jianan also became anxious. This cannot go on. She and her father have the same idea. Both father and daughter are not satisfied with a small clothing store. They don't need to say it directly. Just by looking at each other, they can clearly see the ambition in each other's eyes.
How can one clothing store be enough?
But how can you, a newly opened small clothing store, compete with others?
Jian Jianan had done some rough market research and knew that in the current clothing market, most of the clothes with high sales and good sales were sold through wholesale.
In other words, it’s a price war with small profits but quick turnover, the cheaper the better.
But Shen Ya cannot go down this path. Jian Jianan must make early plans for the future development of Shen Ya Clothing.
So, Jian Jianan approached Deng Bitong and facilitated this collaboration with her.
Thanks to this collaboration, she finally saw a glimmer of hope, a glimmer of hope about which path to take next.
Jian Jianan smiled confidently. It was still unknown whether this road would be passable. However, if he chose not to take this road because of hesitation and fear, it would definitely never be passable.
Jian Jiangnan stood at the door of Shenya Clothing Store. He didn't know what he was thinking about, but suddenly he lowered his head and smiled.
It was already half past six. The sky always gets dark early in Shenzhen in winter. Now there was no afterglow at all. As night fell, the moon hung quietly overhead, and together with the surrounding street lights, it provided a little light for the Shen Ya Clothing Store.
Of course, the lights were on in the Shen Ya Clothing Store, which had not yet closed. When Jian Jianan was talking to Deng Bitong, many people were slowly choosing clothes in the store, and when they found suitable clothes, they went to check out and pay.
Jian Jianan took a last look at Shen Ya Clothing Store. The key to Shen Ya Clothing Store was with Ai Jia. If it was any later, Shen Ya Clothing Store would have to close.
It's winter now, and the first three days of opening have passed. Even if the store is open until late at night, not many people will come to buy clothes. It would be better to close the store early so that Aijia and the other girls can go home and rest early, and not have to walk around so late at night and worry.
When Jian Jianan thought of this, she immediately quickened her pace and rushed home. Her father, Jian Yangping, had been busy running around outside for a while, and no one knew what he was busy with. Even his beloved daughter refused to reveal a word.
But it doesn’t matter, she will know everything when she gets home now.
Jian Jiabei was waiting for his sister at the intersection. When he saw her come out, he immediately went up to her and put the scarf around Jian Jianan's neck and then put the hat on her head, trying to keep his sister warm in this cold winter and making sure she was 100% warm.
"Brother! How do you feel about coming to the store to help every day these days? Do you know what I'm doing?" Jian Jianan was in a good mood.
Jian Jiabei replied lazily, "I don't know. Anyway, I've seen you acting weird since I was a child. It's nothing strange." He was not interested at all and even yawned.
Jian Jianan was not at all satisfied with his brother's answer, but he was in a good mood, so he didn't bother with him. The brother and sister went home hand in hand. Jian Jianan couldn't wait to tell his father the good news as soon as he saw him!
When the brother and sister returned home, Jian Yangping was already sitting at the dinner table wolfing down his food, while Su Qinxuan beside him was gazing at him lovingly. It seemed that the couple had already had a conversation before the brother and sister returned home.
"Dad!" As soon as Jian Jianan saw Jian Yangping, he immediately rushed over with joy and shook off Jian Jiabei's hand.
"Hey, Nanbeibei!" Jian Yangping, who was eating, saw his two children coming home. He immediately stopped eating, looked up and greeted them.
Jian Jianan immediately started talking to his father non-stop, "Dad, what have you been busy with these days? I can't see you all day long, and I can't even talk to you."
Jian Yangping doted, "I'm back now, what do you want to tell me?"
Jian Jianan immediately told her about her collaboration with Deng Bitong a few days ago. "...That's it. I've only been working with her for about a week, and the results are already very good, so I wanted to deepen our cooperation so that Deng Bitong can better promote our Shenya clothes in the Dada Toy Factory. I specifically inquired about it, and they have more than a dozen departments in the Dada Toy Factory alone, and each department has five or six classes, and each class has fifteen female workers. That's a considerable number of people..."
It sounded like Jian Jianan had thought deeply about this matter for a long time, which was why she could bring it up with her father at the dinner table without pausing for a word. However, Su Qinxuan, who had been smiling beside them and not wanting to interrupt the conversation between the father and daughter, frowned more and more as she listened.
Old Jian felt something was wrong. Why was his daughter so devoted to her story, but he didn't react at all? He didn't even pretend to be perfunctory.
"Alright, Dad gets it. Just play around with this, and I'll take care of everything else. And don't get in touch with Deng Bitong any more. I don't know if she's a liar, but she's trying to cheat you out of your young age."
Jian Jianan immediately retorted, "Cheating? What could she have cheated me of? I don't have any money."
Jian Yangping was a little impatient. "She's just trying to cheat you out of the clothes. Since you don't have any money and she's so attentive, maybe she's just trying to get some clothes out of you. Since they're free, why not wear them? It doesn't cost her any money."
Jian Jianan also realized something was wrong at this time. Why did his father speak so harshly today? It was like a machine gun, shooting out sparks.
But she still explained to Jian Yangping seriously, "That won't happen, Dad. Deng Bitong isn't that kind of person. I've observed her for a long time and I'm sure she's not the type to make up lies for immediate gain. She wouldn't do such a thing."
Jian Yangping didn't know what had happened or if he had taken the wrong medicine today, but he became visibly impatient. He was already annoyed, and now he was even more annoyed when he heard his daughter constantly refuting him. "You've only known him for a few days, and you're already defending him like this. Have you forgotten what Dad told you before? A journey of a thousand miles tests a horse's strength, and time reveals a person's true character..."
"Old Jian!" It was Su Qinxuan who was listening silently and never interrupting. Seeing that Jian Yangping was getting more and more outrageous, he called his name to remind him to be rational and not speak to his daughter in a tone of scolding a subordinate.
Moreover, what my daughter said made sense to me and I didn't do anything wrong.
The two words that Su Qinxuan blurted out seemed to bring Jian Yangping back to his senses. He was stunned and immediately looked at Jian Jianan. Seeing that his daughter's face was indeed a little sad, he immediately felt heartbroken.
He couldn't believe what he had just said and done, and apologized immediately, "I'm sorry, Nannan. Dad has been busy and frustrated outside recently, and he's been very unhappy. He might have been arguing with someone just before stepping into the house, so he unknowingly brought all the anger he felt outside to the family, and it affected my conversation with you."
Jian Yangping always admits his mistakes and doesn't have that kind of male chauvinism. After realizing his mistake, he immediately apologized to his daughter sincerely, "I'm really sorry, Nannan. Dad knows that what you just said was for my own good. Dad promises you that you will never do this again. Can you forgive Dad?"
Jian Jianan glanced at Jian Yangping and said cheerfully, "Okay, actually I'm not that sad. I'll forgive Dad this time."
After a small storm, the family returned to the happy atmosphere they had before.
Jian Jianan continued to talk, while Jian Yangping listened attentively, showing great patience and gentleness.
