Chapter 65: Protecting the Shortcomings



Wang Feng was not as shocked as Bai Xiaohua and Jiang Ling, but she also looked at Shi Qi with admiration.

Look at the way she greeted the customers just now, she doesn't look like she's just started doing business.

He acted more experienced than this old hand like her. Her worries today about lack of business were totally unnecessary.

Shi Qi carefully packed the clothes, put them into a dust bag, and then put them in a custom paper box, and put them aside to wait for the customer to come out.

Seeing Bai Xiaohua and Jiang Ling staring at her, Shi Qi clenched his right fist, extended his index finger and tapped his head lightly, with the corners of his lips raised:

“Sister-in-law, this is the power of knowledge.

The skills we learn in our heads can help us earn a living and we will never forget them.”

Seeing her cute and cocky actions, Bai Xiaohua and Jiang Ling burst out laughing. Why didn't they realize before that Shi Mei was quite funny.

The woman tried on the red dress in the lounge and found that it fit her better than the cheongsam she had just worn.

The long skirt was high at the waist and covered with a layer of gauze, which made her waistline look perfect and her legs look long.

She took two steps in high heels and looked at the charming person wrapped in a red dress in the full-length mirror. The woman tossed her long wavy hair, raised her red lips, and nodded with satisfaction.

Not bad, not bad.

Both pieces of clothing in this store suit her taste and look good on her, so she took them both away.

After changing out of her red dress, the woman put on the same clothes she had worn when she came and walked out of the lounge carrying a small bag.

Seeing her come out, Shi Qi stopped talking, smiled and took the long skirt from her hand:

"Do you want to take this with you? I'd better think about it again."

Shi Qi is not greedy. The person has already decided on the cheongsam, so it doesn't matter whether she buys the red dress or not.

Both pieces of clothing were made by her with great care. Shi Qi had confidence in herself and knew that it was only a matter of time before they were sold.

"Pack them together. How much is it?"

The woman lowered her head and pulled out a fifty-yuan note from her bag, then handed it to Shi Qi and asked her to make the change.

Shiqi took it and went to the cashier to give her the change.

"Ma'am, these two pieces of clothing are 28 yuan in total. I'll take 50 yuan from you and give you 22 yuan in change. Please keep it."

After the payment and goods were settled, Shiqi handed the money to the woman with big waves, folded the two skirts, put them in a bag, and handed them to her together.

The woman glanced at the paper bag containing the clothes and became interested in Shiqi:

"Boss, do you own this store?"

The guest spoke, and Shiqi immediately looked up:

"Yes, it's my own store. Ladies, if you need to buy clothes in the future, you can come and look around."

Remembering something, Shi Qi gave her a simple business card he had made.

It had her name and the store address written on it.

"Ma'am, you are the second customer in our store today. The first three customers will enjoy a permanent 10% discount from now on.

All custom-made clothes are eligible for this discount. If you have any custom needs, you can come to me in advance."

The woman stared at the 'business card' in her hand, paused, then stretched out her hand with red nail polish and gently pinched a corner of the business card.

"Okay, I'll come back if you need me."

After seeing off the first big customer, Shi Qi didn't have time to chat with Bai Xiaohua and the other two before another customer came in.

Bai Xiaohua and Jiang Ling saw that several women came in, and Shi Qi couldn't handle them all by himself, so they stepped forward to help greet them.

In the end, more and more people came in to see the novelties and styles, and the store was packed.

Seeing the three of them busy like spinning tops, Wang Feng couldn't stand it anymore and followed them to greet the guests.

For this opening, Shiqi made four signature items.

The customer just now bought two pieces at once.

As soon as the remaining two pieces were put on the model, someone came to ask for the price.

However, the person who asked the price later was not as willing as the previous customer.

I heard that a skirt costs fifteen or sixteen yuan, so many women didn’t dare to try it.

Fearing that it might be damaged, Shi Qi forced them to buy it.

Seeing that the customers were hesitant, Shi Qi changed the subject and introduced them to other ready-made clothes in the store.

Except for the four signature pieces, which were designed and made by her personally, the rest of the garments were purchased from other places, and she would bring them back and modify some minor details herself.

There are not many, only a dozen or so sets.

But thinking about opening a business, she didn't have any regular customers in the city, so she felt that these clothes were enough to sell.

I didn’t expect the business to be so good on the opening day. Not only were all the dozen or so sets of clothes sold out, but even the socks we had bought were sold out.

The four of them were busy until five or six in the afternoon. The entire store was empty. Apart from the row of cloth, there was only one signature garment left on the model.

Wang Feng finally opened his eyes. He ate a piece of watermelon, panting slightly, and looked at Shi Qi at the cashier:

"Little sister Shi, I'm afraid you are the God of Wealth descending to earth.

I was the first person I saw sell out all the clothing stores on the first day of opening.

Tokisu didn't even move the watermelon next to his hand.

She turned a page in the account book, turned the abacus, and calculated the capital and profit without looking up:

"Auntie Wang, I only have a few pieces of clothing in my store.

They are all guests who come to support us.”

Shi Qi had never expected to have such a success today. Her good business on the first day of opening in the modern shopping mall was all thanks to publicity.

In the 1980s when communication was blocked and slow, there were no channels for promotion. She was very satisfied that she could sell more than 20 pieces of clothing on the first day.

Gu Chijin knew that Shiqi was opening today, so he rushed here after coming out of the army.

Jiang Chen knew that his wife must be with Shi Qi, so he simply went with Gu Chijin.

On the way here, Jiang Chen felt a pang of jealousy when he saw Gu Chijin's serious face:

"Hey, Captain Gu, can you go home and discuss this with your wife?

Could you please let my wife go to your place to help less?

Ever since your wife opened this damn clothing store, my wife has been neglecting the baby all day and has been helping your wife every day. She has lost several pounds.

Even at night, when we sleep together, she would always mutter a few words about how Shi Mei was doing...

My ears are about to get calluses!"

Jiang Chen was very resentful, but he refused to admit that he was jealous.

Bai Xiaohua is his wife, not Shi Qi's wife, so why does he praise Shi Qi all day long? Isn't he awesome?

He has led so many soldiers in the army, but he has never heard his wife praise him like this.

In contrast, Jiang Chen felt uncomfortable all over. He didn't hear Gu Chijin's movement and shouted loudly into his ear:

"Captain Gu, did you hear what I just said?!"

Gu Chijin glanced at him:

"You can't bear to take care of your wife, so you ask me to take care of mine?

No way.”

After saying this, Gu Chijin looked at the clothing store across the street, took a step forward, and strode forward.

Jiang Chen wanted to stare a hole in Gu Chijin's back. Didn't this brat dislike Shi Qi before?

He refused to even give a message to Shi Qi. Humph, what comrade, what brother!

What a waste!

The flower baskets and firecracker debris outside the clothing store were not swept away.

Gu Chijin stepped on the debris and walked into the house. He saw Bai Xiaohua, Jiang Ling and others sitting on stools eating watermelon, while Shi Qi was busy behind the cash register. He raised his eyes and was in a bad mood.
