The event was a huge success, the biggest promotion Shuyan had ever held since opening. Many people who weren't planning to buy clothes came over to join in the fun because of the large crowd, and ended up buying a couple of items. One reason was that Shuyan's clothes were indeed beautiful, and another was that the quality was good. Everyone felt they got a great deal at the price.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shu Yan also brought over all the thermal underwear that Lao Zhang had accumulated last year and disposed of it.
We also managed to get rid of a lot of some loungewear that wasn't selling very well, which was a win-win situation.
Every time a customer comes in, they are given a flyer, telling them that the store has moved across the street and there will be a very big event. Everything is on the flyer. Whether they buy anything or not, they can go and watch the lion dance performance, and there will be singers performing. There will also be a lucky draw with exquisite gifts for the winners.
Wow, such a big investment just to open a clothing store! Chinese people love to join in the fun, and upon hearing this, everyone said they would definitely go.
In just two days, about 80% of the clothes were sold, and there was no problem with the rest; Shu Yan had already figured out where to put them.
That evening, Shu Yan did the math. She had sold over 15,000 yuan yesterday and over 17,000 yuan today, totaling over 30,000 yuan, leaving her with a profit of over 10,000 yuan.
On the third day, everything in the store was moved out. Actually, the cash register and sofas in the new store had all been replaced with new ones. However, Shu Yan couldn't leave these things to the landlord. She sold the cash register cheaply and gave the sofa to Zhang Huaxiu, saying she would take it home.
Chen Fei and his men knocked down the two fitting rooms and were about to knock down the glass wall when the landlord, who was there with his wife and children to look at the shop, came over to stop them.
"What are you doing? I didn't say anything when you knocked down my wall before, but what do you mean by knocking down the glass wall now? Do you know that's illegal?"
"Isn't this supposed to be restored to its original state? Of course I'll put the glass wall back up after it's been knocked down. Look, the bricks have already been brought over. Don't worry, I guarantee the quality won't be bad. These are all experienced craftsmen with excellent skills."
The landlady and her husband were speechless, looking at Shu Yan with disbelief: "You're being too stingy."
"How am I stingy? I helped you restore it to its original state, and that's called stingy? Do you know how much it cost me? I'm just seeing things through." Shu Yan disagreed.
When the landlady entered the store and saw that the fitting room had also been demolished, she was so angry that she trembled all over. "We paid 90,000 yuan!"
"That's a penalty for breach of contract. Did I violate the contract by doing this? If there's a problem, just call the police." Shu Yan glanced at them and told her men to continue knocking.
The landlord and his wife watched as Shu Yan knocked the glass off and then started stacking bricks again.
"Alright, alright, stop folding. I'm just unlucky. You should leave now. You don't need to do anything here." The landlady quickly stopped her. If they folded it now, they would have to knock it down later, which would be another project.
“That won’t do. It’s not written in the contract. I renovated it exactly as I wanted. It has to be restored to its original state.” This was what the landlady said when Shu Yan went to knock on the wall.
There were many people on Shuyan's side, so the landlord's family didn't dare to do anything and could only watch as they put the bricks back together one by one.
Seeing that the bricks were laid, Shu Yan clapped her hands with a smile, "Alright, let them dry a bit, and then I'll have them paint the wall back on. I'm just too kind, no need to thank me too much."
After taking a few steps, Shu Yan turned around and left with her entourage. Then, as if remembering something, she turned back and said, "By the way, my shop reopens tomorrow. There will be a lot of activities and performances. You all have to come!"
"Open for business? You found a storefront?" How could she have found a storefront and opened for business so soon in just a few days?
Shu Yan pointed to the opposite side. She didn't know when, but the original Qianxue lingerie had been replaced by Yanxiu boutique women's clothing. There was a large arched balloon at the entrance, and people were setting up a stage next to it.
"You must come and support us tomorrow." Shu Yan gave them a big smile.
By this time, the landlord was fully aware that Shu Yan had tricked him. She had clearly already found a shop, meticulously planned to take back the property, and then extort a penalty fee from them. Their shop was opening tomorrow, while their renovations would take more than half a month; by then, all their old customers would have been lured back.
"Dad, what do we do now?" Yangyang was dumbfounded.
“What should we do? Do I need to ask you what to do? Tell me everything you saw and heard that day in detail.”
More than 90,000 yuan! That's more than 90,000 yuan...
"Their faces were absolutely priceless just now," Zhang Huaxiu thought, feeling incredibly relieved.
Shu Yan smiled and said, "Let's go and go over the procedures again."
The grand prize this time is a motorcycle, a big one, worth over 10,000 yuan—a prize that's sure to cause a sensation. There are three first prizes: a large color TV, a refrigerator, and a washing machine; second prize is a bicycle; third prize is an electric fan; fourth prize is a kettle; fifth prize is a coupon that can be used to buy clothes; and sixth prize is a lucky bag filled with clothes that Shu Yan hadn't sold before. She just put them in there, and you get whatever you want. No matter if you can wear it or not, you can't return or exchange it. She'll just give away the clothes she can't wear herself—they're all nice clothes, and it'll be presentable to give them away.
The consolation prize was underwear and socks, which were taken from the company's surplus inventory and were definitely better than the toothbrush from last time.
The prizes were all ready. Shu Yan took another stroll around the store. She had also participated in the design of this store, referencing the concepts of some future specialty stores, making it appear more high-end and classy. Of course, the prices of the clothes were also higher-end, with a shirt costing more than 100 yuan, but the quality was also more upscale.
"That's about it, let's head back." After saying this to all the employees, Shu Yan turned to Zhang Huaxiu and asked, "Do you have anything to say?"
The two sales clerks looked at Zhang Huaxiu. They had only just learned that Zhang Huaxiu would be their second boss from now on. Although she was called the second boss, she was actually in charge of everything. Shu Yan would no longer be coming over, so she was essentially their boss, and naturally they were more respectful than before.
"Everyone, come early tomorrow. It'll be a lot of work for you all. I'll give you bonuses later," Zhang Huaxiu said, glancing at Shu Yan and mustering her courage.
The next morning, Shu Yan woke up Jingjing and Tianbao. It was the weekend, so she took them to the store to watch a performance.
"Mommy, are there big lions today?" Tianbao asked with a little excitement.
"Yes, two very large lions."
"Mom, can I pop balloons today?" Jingjing hadn't forgotten how her younger brother had won a big prize by popping balloons.
"Of course, I'm taking you to pop balloons today."
After tidying up, Shu Yan told her aunt, "We won't be back for lunch. If you need anything, you can go out, just come back before dinner."
When Shu Yan arrived at the store, it was almost eight o'clock. She saw Zhang Huaxiu and Chen Fei directing people to do things, and everything outside had already been set up.
Being your own boss makes all the difference; your way of speaking and doing things has changed a lot.
"Shuyan, you're here! Jingjing and Tianbao are here too?" Zhang Huaxiu said with a smile as she looked at the two children.
They are friends in private. Zhang Huaxiu calls Shu Yan by her real name. To distinguish them, she calls Shu Yan "Boss Lady" at work. Today, she just calls Shu Yan by her real name. It seems that she is adapting well to her new identity.
"What time did you arrive?" Shu Yan glanced inside and saw Sister Ling and the others tidying up their clothes.
“We arrived around 7 o’clock,” Zhang Huaxiu said with a smile.
In addition to the original two sales clerks, she also hired about ten interns to hand out flyers in the vicinity. Furthermore, Shu Yan also called over several employees from the original lingerie store to help out.
At 8:30, people that Shu Yan and Zhang Huaxiu knew started arriving to support the store, each bringing a flower basket. Old Hu, Old Zhang, and Lin Hui were among them. Chen Fei's uncle and his boss weren't there in person, but they sent flower baskets. Zhang Huaxiu's parents and brother also came. This was different from last time; last time, Shu Yan opened the store and Zhang Huaxiu was just an employee. Now, Huaxiu was practically a boss herself, so of course she wanted to come and support the store.
When Zhang Ma saw Shu Yan, she smiled broadly, as if she had given her daughter half a shop for free. In her eyes, Shu Yan was no different from a god of wealth, so how could she not smile when she saw her?
"You don't need to be so polite. From now on, Xiuxiu will be in charge of the shop. Just don't complain that I don't help with anything," Shuyan said with a smile.
"No, I'll always remember your kindness. If it weren't for you, Xiuxiu wouldn't be where she is today." Aunt Zhang could tell right from wrong. If it weren't for Shuyan, Xiuxiu wouldn't have met such a good person as Chen Fei, and now she's even the second boss.
Shu Yan didn't believe such talk. It was good now, but that was because she was at a disadvantage. In time, she would realize that her daughter was the one who was at a disadvantage. Anyway, the agreement was signed. If Zhang Huaxiu didn't want to partner with her anymore, she could just buy out half of her shares. She didn't really need the store right now.
Shu Yan thought that most of the people had arrived. A little while later, two tall men came over, each carrying a flower basket. After putting them down, they prepared to leave without saying anything.
"Hey, wait a minute, who are you?"
"Sister-in-law, my brother asked us to bring this over. We know you're busy, so we won't stay any longer," said one of the more honest-looking men.
"What kind of 'sister-in-law' is this?" Shu Yan was stunned for a moment, then looked at them and asked in confusion, "Are you Fang Zeyu's colleagues?"
"Yes, yes, my brother said he couldn't come out in person, so he asked us to move it over for him. Sister-in-law, please don't mind. We have to rush to work, so we'll be leaving now."
"Sigh." Shu Yan tried to call out to them, but the two had already disappeared.
"Who was that just now?" Hu Ruixue walked over slowly.
"Fang Zeyu's colleague."
She didn't tell Lin Hui and Wu Xiuyue about Fang Zeyu, but she didn't hide it from Hu Ruixue.
Hu Ruixue raised an eyebrow. "That's good."
