◎Raising an army to hold the culprit accountable◎
Half an hour later, when this peak finally dissipated, the store was already in a mess.
Wei Xuan asked Zhang Daya to clean up quickly. Wang Xiaomei was still greeting guests. Wei Xuan gathered the money on the table that had not been collected yet and stuffed it all into the drawer and locked it.
After doing all this, she looked up and waved to Jiang Sanjie who was still standing at the door. It was not that Wei Xuan was impolite, but her voice was so hoarse that it was difficult for her to speak, and she really couldn't shout anymore.
Seeing this, Third Sister Jiang came over and picked up the water bottle on the ground to pour her some water. Looking at the cups on the table, she asked, "Which one is yours?"
Wei Xuan pointed to the cup in the middle. Third Sister Jiang poured her a glass of water and said, "Moisten your throat."
Wei Xuan nodded, picked up the cup and blew on it, making sure it was no longer hot, then put it to her mouth and gulped down several mouthfuls before putting the cup down.
Jiang Sanjie was so surprised that she asked, "Has your business always been so good?"
Wei Xuan cleared her throat and said in a hoarse voice, "Third sister, today is only the third day of opening. We should be able to return to normal tomorrow."
...
...
Today is the last day of the 30% discount. Wei Xuan thinks that after the price is restored to the original price, everyone’s enthusiasm will probably wane a lot.
However, despite this, after three days, Wei Xuan was able to fully appreciate the purchasing power of ordinary people in this era, which she should not underestimate.
Originally, she had not planned to hire someone so quickly, but given the current situation, she had no choice but to quickly hire someone. If she continued to be busy like this for two more days, she was afraid that one of her and Zhang Daya would fall first.
Fortunately, Third Sister Jiang arrived in time today, otherwise, in a situation like just now, who knows how many clothes in the store would be stolen by people with bad intentions? But even so, she couldn't guarantee that not a single piece of clothing had been taken away by someone.
Although Wei Xuan said that the business was so good because of the opening, Third Sister Jiang has eyes and can see clearly. Even if the business is only one-third of today's, it would still be amazing.
She was just about to ask Wei Xuan about hiring in the store when Wang Xiaomei brought a customer to the counter to check out.
She stepped aside and said, "Then you go ahead and do your work."
Wei Xuan really wanted to have a good talk with Jiang Sanjie, but now was not a good time. She could only nod to Jiang Sanjie and concentrate on serving the guests.
After seeing the guests off, Wei Xuan looked at the time. It was almost time for lunch.
She said to Zhang Daya, "You can get off work first and come back at 1:30 in the afternoon." As for Wang Xiaomei, she had already gone back next door.
After everyone in the store had left, she locked the door and took Jiang Sanjie to the state-owned restaurant.
"Third sister, what do you want to eat? I'll treat you at noon today as a thank you for your help this morning."
"No, just eat something casually." Third Sister Jiang didn't feel comfortable asking her sister-in-law to treat her to a meal, and besides, she didn't do much to help.
"Then I'll take care of it." Wei Xuan didn't want to waste time pushing it back and forth with her. Seeing that Third Sister Jiang was unwilling to order, she had to do it herself.
Today's special dish is braised fish. She ordered one, and then a soup and a stir-fry, plus two bowls of rice. It was more than enough for two people.
After ordering the dishes and finding an empty seat to sit down, Wei Xuan started talking. She asked Third Sister Jiang, "Yesterday, Jiang Che came back and told me that Third Sister, you don't want to leave your job at the factory and want to go back to work, right?"
Sister Jiang was about to nod when she heard this, but then she thought something was wrong and was about to shake her head.
Wei Xuan was amused by her actions. Seeing her hesitation, Wei Xuan said directly, "Third sister, have you not made up your mind yet? It's okay. If you have any concerns, please tell me and I'll see if I can help you."
Third Sister Jiang really hasn't made up her mind yet. Judging from the salary alone, it is definitely more cost-effective to work in a clothing store. However, the factory is where she has worked for more than 20 years. If she doesn't want to work there anymore, she feels like a rootless duckweed and is very confused.
She told Wei Xuan about it, and Wei Xuan immediately understood what she meant.
In the final analysis, Jiang Sanjie was actually used to a stable life. She was reluctant to leave the factory, not because she liked her current job so much, but purely out of habit. It was indeed a bit difficult for her to abandon her familiar job and colleagues and get involved in a completely new industry.
Another thing is that the importance of a stable job is deeply rooted in the minds of people of their generation. Even if the factory is no longer doing well, the dignity and confidence that this job once brought her were real, and these are not something that working in a clothing store could bring her.
Wei Xuan felt that she could talk to Third Sister Jiang about this matter from a different angle.
But let’s wait until after dinner. I don’t know if it’s because I was too busy in the morning, but I was so hungry. And just at that moment, the food arrived.
Wei Xuan greeted Third Sister Jiang and said, "Third Sister, I understand everything you said. Let's eat first. We can continue talking after dinner."
Third Sister Jiang didn't bother to be polite with Wei Xuan. She hadn't had such a good meal for a long time since she lost her income. Even her two children were sent back to her mother-in-law.
Both of them had good appetites and they finished the two dishes and one soup.
After finishing her meal, Wei Xuan wiped her mouth clean and drafted what she was going to say in her mind before she spoke calmly, "Third sister, this is what I think. You can keep your current job in the factory and don't quit. Come to my place and try it out first. If you try it and find it doesn't work out, it won't be too late for you to ask Dad to find a connection for you to go back, right? I don't have to ask you to make a choice between here and the factory now. Just think of it as coming here to help me. You saw today that my store is really busy. I can relax a little when you come here."
Seeing that Third Sister Jiang's expression seemed to have relaxed, Wei Xuan continued, "In fact, it is not difficult to recruit people in my store, but it is difficult to find someone you can trust. After this batch of goods is sold out, I may have to go to the south frequently to purchase goods. If there is no reliable person to help me look after the store, I will not feel at ease. So Third Sister, you can just help me for a while. When my store is stable, you can leave or stay. It's up to you. It's your choice."
Wei Xuan's words made it impossible for Third Sister Jiang to refuse. She knew in her heart that although Wei Xuan kept asking her for help, she was actually giving her a chance. Since the other party was so sincere, it would be ungrateful for her to refuse.
Third Sister Jiang stopped being so stubborn, and Wei Xuan felt relieved.
Although what she just said was a bit exaggerated, it was also what she really thought. She really needed Third Sister Jiang's help now.
It doesn't have to wait until tomorrow, the clothes in the store will be almost cleared out this afternoon. Fortunately, the next batch of goods will arrive tomorrow morning. By then, she plans to train Jiang Sanjie and Zhang Daya first, and then hire someone to do odd jobs. She will have to go to Yangcheng to purchase goods within half a month at the latest.
So time is really tight and she doesn't have much time left. It's best that Third Sister Jiang is willing to come and help now.
In the evening, Wei Xuan and Jiang Che gathered around the table to count the accounts. Over the past three days, almost all the clothes in the store were sold out. They had thirteen thousand yuan worth of goods, and after recovering the cost, they made an extra profit of more than ten thousand yuan.
Jiang Che held the account book and laughed foolishly. Wei Xuan patted him and said, "Alright, stop laughing. My third sister came to the store to see me today."
"What did she say to you?" When Jiang Che mentioned his sister, he immediately withdrew his thoughts.
"Anyway, she agreed to come to the store to work tomorrow."
"That's good." Jiang Che was really afraid that she would be stubborn and insist on staying in the factory. "By the way, how did you tell her? She was not very willing yesterday."
Facing Jiang Che's curiosity, Wei Xuan didn't beat around the bush. While putting away the things on the table, she repeated the conversation between her and Jiang Sanjie. She added, "After Sanjie gets familiar with the work in the store, I plan to go to Yangcheng again."
"What?" Jiang Che had just put aside the matter of his third sister, and now he was frightened by his wife's words.
Suddenly, he couldn't control his voice and asked, "You want to go to Yangcheng alone? What are you going to do?"
"Keep your voice down, it's late at night," Wei Xuan reached out and pulled Jiang Che's sleeve. Seeing that he was no longer so excited, she explained, "Do you think I want to go? It takes a whole day and night to take the train, and I don't want to go, but the store needs to restock the goods. What should I do if I don't go?"
Jiang Che didn't understand: "Didn't you just call and ask for the goods last time?"
Wei Xuan rolled her eyes at him and said, "Of course I can just call and order the stock, but I need to choose some new styles now. The clothes in the store need to be changed frequently. Otherwise, customers will get tired of the same few pieces over and over again. How can we keep doing business?"
Jiang Che was depressed. After all, it was all about business, but it was so dangerous to let his wife take a train alone to such a far place.
If anything happens again, he won't be around to help.
Wei Xuan could see that he was worried about her, and after a while she said, "How about I go ask Sister Fang tomorrow. Her store has been open for so long, I'll ask her if she wants to go get some stock. If she goes, you won't have to worry about the two of us anymore, right?"
Jiang Che didn't say anything. No matter how many of them were women, how could he feel at ease? Although the world is safer now than in previous years due to the crackdown, there is still a great possibility of encountering trouble when going out.
Oh, it would be great if he could quit his job now. Then, whether his wife is going out or the business in the store is going on, he can at least help instead of just standing by and watching anxiously.
Once this thought came to his mind, Jiang Che could no longer suppress his restless heart.
Section 78
The next day, he didn't tell anyone and went straight to his leader to hand in his resignation.
The leader was a friend of Jiang Che's father. When he saw that Jiang Che was about to resign, he asked him, "Does your father know about this?"
"No, it was my own idea."
The leader said, "Why don't you discuss this with your father before making a decision?"
Jiang Che frowned and said seriously: "I am already an adult. I don't think this kind of thing requires my father's consent."
The leader looked him up and down, and seeing that he was serious, he said, "Okay, I hope you won't regret it." Then he signed the resignation report.
Jiang Che looked at the resignation report in his hand and said happily: "Thank you, boss. I'll leave first."
Without the constraints of work, Jiang Che was free. He finally no longer had to experience the pain of watching his wife work so hard but being unable to help at all.
But before he could be happy for half a day, Jiang's father heard from others that his youngest son had resigned.
He was so angry that he didn't even care about his work. He dragged Jiang's mother to the sixth floor before the end of get off work.
Wei Xuan had just arrived home and was startled to see her parents-in-law waiting at her door, ready to call her to task. She thought something had happened and hurriedly asked, "Mom and Dad, why are you here?"
