Chapter 30 Haircut

Pu Xiang and Shi Wenya got up early and caught the train to Lin City.

It was Shi Wenya's first time in Lin City. When she heard Pu Xiang talking about moving things, she thought they were just in the county town and she was not afraid. But then Pu Xiang took her to buy train tickets and she was stunned.

No wonder she was asked to bring her ID.

But at this point, Shi Wenya couldn't say she didn't want to go. She thought that with Pu Xiang there, it should be fine.

However, she was still very nervous along the way. She followed Pu Xiang closely and did not dare to be careless at all, for fear of getting lost.

Pu Xiang prepared two small two-wheeled trailers for transporting goods and started purchasing goods when they arrived at the destination.

"Ten of these, and ten of these as well."

"Yes, I want this too. Give me 30 pairs of this kind of underwear."

"Give me five of these coats first."

…

The money was paid out quickly. Shi Wenya was frightened at first, but later she became numb to it.

Where does Pu Xiang get the money?

And she is so bold that she dares to spend so much! Isn't she afraid that she won't be able to make it back and will lose everything?

As the number of things increased, Shi Wenya no longer had the energy to think about other things. She stared at the packed goods, afraid that they would fall.

It's all about money.

Pu Xiang made a list in advance, and after getting all the things they needed, she simply called a van to take them back to the station.

She had also inquired about the car in advance, and has been using it to transport goods and do business here, so it is very safe.

After a lot of trouble, they finally got back to the store in the afternoon. Pu Xiang and Shi Wenya didn't even have lunch, so they quickly went to the noodle shop next door to have a bowl of noodles.

After eating, I started to sort the goods.

Each style of clothing must be sorted out and ironed and matched.

The shop, which was originally empty, was finally almost cleaned up after the two of them worked until the evening.

Finally, I moved the inventory to the attic on the second floor, and I was finally done.

Pu Xiang paid Shi Wenya twenty yuan as salary.

"I told your mother-in-law that I'll give you 10 yuan. Don't let it slip when you go back. Also, think about whether you want to work for me. I'll pay you 80 yuan a month, plus a 5% commission, but you have to live with me in the county town. I'll give you one day off a week so you can go back to the village. You can go back and discuss this with your family, or you can come and work for two days on the weekend, leaving early and returning late. I'll pay you 10 yuan a day, but there's no commission. Also, if you follow me to buy goods, it's still 20 yuan a time."

Shi Wenya's eyes widened when she heard this. Pu Xiang gave her 20 yuan as wages for the whole day. She didn't want it at first. They were all sisters, and she was just doing a favor, so there was no need to pay her.

But the salary offered to her for working in Puxiang immediately attracted her.

80 yuan a month, she can earn nearly a thousand a year!

This is not a small amount of money.

Pu Xiang saw her excitement and said, "What I'm thinking is that you work with me for a few years, and then you can open a small clothing store. When you become your own boss, you can buy a house in the county with the money you make, and Chengcheng can go to the county to study. Isn't that better than living in the village?"

As sisters who have been together for a lifetime, Pu Xiang really hopes that Shi Wenya can get better and not still worry about money when she reaches retirement age.

Shi Wenya was dizzy all the way back. It was not until they rode their bicycles to the town that she realized how Pu Xiang had come back with her.

"I'm going to get a haircut and give people some peace of mind at the same time."

Pu Xiang waved goodbye to everyone, rode his bike to the color printing factory, picked up the flyers he had ordered, and then went to the credit union to find Director Shi.

Shi Weidong has been feeling worried these days. For Shi Hai's sake, he lent Pu Xiang a loan of 6,000 yuan. But suddenly he heard that she was divorced and now she has nothing to do with the Shi family.

What can a rural woman do with a loan of 6,000 yuan?

What kind of store can I really open?

She wouldn't run away with the money!

Shi Weidong felt that he had made a big mistake, but he didn't dare tell anyone about it. He even went to Pu's house in private, but found out that Pu Xiang had returned to her parents' home after her divorce.

When I asked the Pu family again, it turned out that the whole family was also looking for someone, but they couldn't find him at all.

The more Shi Weidong thought about it, the more he felt that the man had taken the money and ran away, but he was still thinking about promotion. His position as director had reached the end of its life, and he even felt nostalgic for the desk and chair in his office.

Soon, the owner will change.

"Director Shi, are you busy?"

Shi Weidong heard a familiar voice, but before he could react, he looked up and saw the person he had been looking for in his dreams recently.

“You you you!”

Shi Weidong stood up immediately and reached out to grab the man and ask him to pay back the money.

Pu Xiang smiled and handed him a piece of paper the size of a notebook. "Director Shi, my store next to the central building will open in two days. Please help promote it. Tell Teacher Chen to come to my store if she has time. We sell high-end women's clothing. We will offer a 12% discount for the first three days. She can get an 20% discount if she comes."

Shi Weidong was suddenly stopped from saying anything. He took the flyer and took a look at it: "Your store is really open?"

"Of course I have to open one. Didn't I borrow money to start a business?" It was not difficult to guess what the other party was thinking, but Pu Xiang did not expose him. "To be honest, everything went so smoothly thanks to Director Shi. Thank you so much. These two scarves are for you and Teacher Chen. They are made of wool and are the latest couple style in Lin City. Wear them during the Chinese New Year. They will look beautiful and festive."

Pu Xiang took out a bag and put it on the table, which contained two woolen scarves.

The item is inconspicuous, but the pocket looks quite delicate. It has a bright red base with a golden rose pattern printed on it and a fancy "香" (fragrance) character designed in the middle.

This pocket smells delicious.

Anyway, you can tell at first glance that it is not a cheap product. Pu Xiang specially made it next to the Lin City Wholesale Market.

After Pu Xiang did this, Shi Weidong was speechless.

Looking back, Pu Xiang never said from the beginning to the end that the loan was from the Shi family. She always said that she wanted to borrow the money and open a shop on her own.

He took it for granted and didn't expect that there would be a divorce.

Now it seems that the store is really open, so should he take another look at the situation?

Anyway, the money has definitely been spent, and he can't ask for it back now. His only hope is that her store can really make money.

Shi Weidong glanced at the flyer Pu Xiang had left on the table and said with a complicated expression, "Okay, I'll go back and tell Teacher Chen to go check it out with her and her colleagues when they're free. I'll need to buy new clothes for the Chinese New Year anyway, so I'll buy one or two if I find something suitable."

After leaving the credit union, Pu Xiang turned a corner and went to the barber shop in town.

In order to make it easier to work, she has always kept her hair short. She hasn't cut her hair for half a month, and her bangs have grown to cover her eyebrows.

"Boss, please give me a haircut. Cut the back short, trim the bangs, and perm it. I want a 2:8 split, like when you use mousse to style your hair."

The lady boss understood immediately: "You want the feeling of a Hong Kong female star, right?"

She pointed and saw pictures of beauties with various permed hair and calendars on the wall, with both long and short hair.

Pu Xiang laughed as soon as she saw this old-fashioned thing.

“Yes, that’s the feeling.”

The proprietress’s craftsmanship was excellent. She finished quickly while chatting with Pu Xiang about how to cut.

Pu Xiang was very satisfied as she watched herself in the mirror gradually become more capable and competent.

Hair style is actually secondary, the main thing is to create a style. After her son got married and her grandson was born, she took a family photo. The good-looking styles all had a head full of clips and hair styling gel.

There is no such thing as a naturally beautiful and low-maintenance hairstyle.

"Wow, this is really nice! But you need to change your clothes and make them more fashionable to match this hairstyle."

The proprietress withdrew her hand and looked over at the scene.

Pu Xiang bought two more bottles of mousse, paid for them, and handed over a few promotional leaflets.

"My new store will open in two days. If you are free, please come to the county town. It is right next to the central building. There is an 12% discount for the opening. There is also this hairstyle. If anyone asks about it, I will recommend it to you. Please help me promote it."

We are all doing business, whether we are willing or not, we didn't refuse it anyway.

After leaving the barber shop, Pu Xiang rode his bike to go back. After riding a few meters, he saw a familiar figure.

"Mo Yang." Pu Xiang got off the bicycle and stopped beside a man who was moving goods. "Is this your store? Is it open?"

Mo Yang's movements are really fast.

Mo Yang turned around when he heard the voice and saw Pu Xiang. His eyes fell on her hair first, then he nodded and said, "Yes, it opened two days ago. If you want to buy some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar in the future, I'll give you the wholesale price."

"OK."

Pu Xiang smiled and said, "It's a pity that I sell women's clothing, so I can't give you a discount."

She took a look into the store, and when Mo Jingjing saw her, she immediately ran out quickly.

"Auntie!"

"Jingjing."

Pu Xiang looked at Mo Jingjing and found that she was a little more cheerful than the last time she saw her. It seemed that she was really living a good life.

Mo Jingjing reached out and pulled her: "Auntie, this is the wholesale department opened by my father. Let me show you around. This place is huge. The front is for selling things and the back is for living. My father and I live here now. My father said that he would let me go to primary school in the town instead of going to the village primary school."

After entering the store, she looked back and saw that her father was busy and didn't notice them, so she lowered her voice.

"I've made up my mind. If I could live my life over again, I would study hard and go to college!"

Pu Xiang remembered that the child did not even graduate from junior high school. He then worked in factories, including wood factories and electronics factories, and his life was never easy.

"It's good to go to college. If I weren't this old, I would go back to school. Let your dad take care of the money-making."

Mo Jingjing said, "Well, my dad said that he would not get married. He originally remarried Zhou Xiaorou just to have someone to take care of me. He was always out sailing and there was no one at home. After this incident, he said that he had figured it out. He was not at ease leaving the child to anyone. He simply stopped sailing and opened a wholesale department... My dad made a lot of money in the past few years. He bought this store, but told others that he rented it. He said that he originally wanted to build a building in the village with the money, but now that he bought the store, he would not take care of the house in the village for the time being."

Pu Xiang's mouth opened into an "O" shape.

How come everyone is so rich these days? Mo Yang said he wanted to buy a store and he bought it. I think she even took out a loan. People are really incomparable.

The two were talking in the store, and Mo Jingjing took Pu Xiang to take a look at the back of the store. The place was a little small, but it was very clean and tidy, and it looked a bit warm.

Pu Xiang didn't even look at it any further and pulled Mo Jingjing out.

The two walked back to the front and saw a middle-aged woman standing next to Mo Yang and talking to him. She looked gossipy and didn't look like she was here to buy anything.

Mo Jingjing took a look and said, "This is the proprietress of the hotel next door. She is introducing a girl to my dad. She has been here several times."

Pu Xiang ate the melon silently.

Mo Jingjing: "She introduced her sister, who is divorced and has a son."

Pu Xiang understood that this would definitely not work. Isn’t this another version of Zhou Xiaorou?

Even if Mo Yang really wanted to look for it again, he probably wouldn't dare to look for something like this.

The woman and Mo Yang were talking unpleasantly. She looked up and saw Pu Xiang in the room. She immediately glared at her and looked her up and down.

Pu Xiang gave Mo Jingjing a piece of promotional material and said goodbye and walked out.

She didn't want to become someone else's imaginary enemy for no reason.

When she reached the door, the hotel owner looked at her and she handed her a flyer.

"Boss lady, come and look at the women's clothing when you have time. It's right next to the Central Building. There's an 12% discount on the opening day. Buy new clothes for the Chinese New Year in advance. Don't miss this opportunity."
