Liu Cui wanted to say something more, but Jiang Yu stopped her with a 'shh' gesture, implying that she shouldn't be so polite. In short, being new to the department store, she was not only unfamiliar with the place, but judging from today's events, there was bound to be much infighting to come.
Although Liu Cui looks gentle and weak, she is not the kind of person who makes trouble, so there is no harm in being friends with her.
Shen Ying hasn't left since he brought the sewing machine over, including when people came to order clothes. His serious expression made people involuntarily back away.
Jiang Yu was worried that he would scare away the customers, so she paused, her hand gripping the pen tightly, and then said:
"Shen Ying, come and help me with the bookkeeping."
Liu Cui originally wanted to stay and help, but Jiang Yu refused. In her opinion, the dessert shop also needed to be run, and she was perfectly capable of handling it herself, so there was no need to take up other people's time.
But Shen Ying was different. Since he wasn't leaving, they simply pulled him over to work with them, so he wouldn't just stand at the door like a statue.
Shen Ying glanced at her, then at the people queuing outside, and strode over. Because of his height, the table in front of him looked like a miniature version.
Jiang Yu didn't care about such details. She picked up a ruler from the table and measured everyone's bust, waist, and hip measurements. She read out the numbers one by one, and the man wrote them down quickly.
"Boss, are you selling that beige trench coat of yours?"
A wealthy woman pointed to the coats on the wall, her eyes shining. She had thought this store only sold linings, but it turned out they also had coats. And this trench coat was absolutely gorgeous, even better than those from clothing factories.
"Sell."
Jiang Yu draped the measuring tape around her neck, went inside, grabbed the trench coat, and handed it to the woman. The woman excitedly held it up against herself a few times and immediately asked for two colors.
Her service was the highest praise among all the clothing stores. Sometimes, it's not that people are short of a few dollars, but rather that they want a store that respects their ideas, and this store clearly is that one. Many people came specifically because of her reputation, marking a successful start for the Sui Sui Nian Nian clothing store.
This made Shen Ying see the busy woman in front of him in a different light. Watching Jiang Yu interact with all sorts of people and remain calm in the face of danger, and then thinking back to the disheveled woman lying in bed a few days ago, he had an indescribable feeling.
After recording the last customer's details and handing over her ten-yuan deposit to the man, Jiang Yu began tidying up her tools.
The clothes for these people will take anywhere from three days to half a month to arrive. All told, that's at least a month's worth of work.
In the days that followed, I worked in the shop making clothes and waiting for people to come and take new orders.
When the employees of Su Ji Fabrics came to deliver the fabric, Jiang Yu was operating the sewing machine. Seeing her focused expression, Shen Ying took over the work, and everything seemed perfectly natural to her.
"Brother Ying, Sister-in-law, I've come to deliver the iron."
Bai Chen's voice sounded particularly abrupt from the corner on the second floor of the mall. He was excitedly carrying the box in his hand and walked over in a few quick steps.
In the past, he would never have had any involvement with Jiang Yu. But things are different now. Thinking back to how she spoke ill of him last time, and then made him something delicious, it was pure kindness repaying evil, which made him feel ashamed of himself.
Moreover, this so-called sister-in-law was not as unreasonable as the rumors in the military compound suggested; on the contrary, she was a very easy-going and knowledgeable woman.
Shen Ying turned him away with a look of disgust. The noise was so loud that it made my ears ring.
Bai Chen didn't care at all. He looked around the shop, searching for Jiang Yu's shadow. At first, when he heard Zhang's wife, Li Xue, talk about opening a shop, he didn't quite believe it. Now that he saw it for himself, he had to take a good look.
The shop's decor was simply stunning; even a rough guy like him could appreciate it, showing that the designer had put in a lot of effort.
"Bai Chen, what brings you here?"
Jiang Yu was surprised to see the person who had come while she was looking for the button. Little did she know that the other person had come with a purpose.
"Brother Shen Ying asked me to have someone bring this to you."
Bai Chen placed the iron on the table, grinning with a row of neat teeth, his smile exceptionally bright. Shen Ying's face flushed red, and he followed Bai Chen's gaze, his eyes full of warning. He really shouldn't have let him deliver it; this little brat, so loud and boisterous, what if this woman misunderstands?
Jiang Yu didn't care whether he was shy or not; her mind was now completely occupied by the brand-new iron on the table. Overall, this man was really quite good, considerate in every way.
Shen Ying didn't explain; this was something he had specifically researched by visiting clothing stores outside the area.
"Thanks."
After Jiang Yu thanked him, she went back to her work. Seeing that Bai Chen was still lingering in the shop and didn't seem to want to leave, Shen Ying couldn't help but cough twice, signaling him to leave quickly.
"Hey, sister-in-law. I've been searching all over town to buy this iron. Could you cook me a meal? If it's too much trouble, some glutinous rice cake would be fine too. I can wait."
How could we miss such a great opportunity?
Bai Chen wore a smirk, looking every bit the lackey. Not far away, Shen Ying, who had raised his leg, slowly lowered it as Jiang Yu responded. Seeing Bai Chen's smug expression, Shen Ying regretted asking him for help.
There was still some time before Jiang Yu finished her work, and Shen Ying sat at the door like a model soldier. Bai Chen couldn't help but secretly mock him:
You deserve it for always speaking ill of your sister-in-law; now their relationship looks so strained.
Despite his complaints, he felt it was necessary to help his good friend out.
Looking around, they couldn't find anything that could warm up their relationship, so they simply sat down next to Shen Ying to see if they could think of any other ways.
"Hey, sister-in-law, how did a woman as outstanding as you fall for Ying-ge back then?"
Bai Chen sat at the door watching the passersby, and the talkative man couldn't help but ask some strange and unusual questions.
Shen Ying originally wanted to give him some peace and quiet, but when he heard the question, he also wanted to hear it, so he ignored it.
Jiang Yu paused her sewing for a moment, then continued sewing. She appeared nonchalant, but inside she was panicking.
What could she possibly say? She couldn't very well say that the original owner was forced into being with a man by Lu Yi's instigation, could she? If she said that, not only would the man lose face, but she'd also be ruined for the rest of her life. This so-called transmigrated character could easily have her story end prematurely.
Seeing that she didn't answer, Bai Chen felt bored. He started hitting her with a tape measure in his hand, and then looked up and saw a quiet-looking girl.
This girl was a real eye-opener for him. Having lived in the city for so many years, this was the first time he had seen a woman like her, and he was completely mesmerized.
Bai Chen's intense gaze made her very uncomfortable, and she timidly walked to the side, almost dropping the small cake in her hand.
