Chapter 617 Using Apprentices to Boost Performance
Since Zhou Qiao finished chatting with the seller who called himself "Qiao'er's husband," he hasn't placed any orders for several days.
However, this also means that she has not received any income; her shop has only sold two or three orders sporadically in recent days.
Before she knew it, it was the end of the year. On this day, Zhou Qiao listlessly finished tidying up and picked up her phone to log into her Taobao shop account.
The moment she opened her phone, she was mentally prepared for another dismal business. But when she opened the store's backend and saw the data, she was stunned.
More than 700 orders were placed, with the transaction amount exceeding six figures.
Most importantly, this surge in data all happened overnight?!
This number is too outrageous for her.
Zhou Qiao's heart pounded, and she quickly opened the buyer's purchase page again, afraid that she would see that "Qiao'er's husband" had placed the order again.
Fortunately, this time there wasn't just one ID; it became "blooming everywhere!"
The addresses filled in by people who bought her products were all over the place, from all over the country.
Many people also sent her private messages praising her for her excellent handicrafts, saying they would be a perfect gift for their girlfriends at the end of the year.
Zhou Qiao then realized that it was the end of the year and everyone was buying New Year's gifts.
It seems this wasn't an accident, but rather she took advantage of the New Year's momentum, and her shop really took off!
She's completely turned her life around!
However, her excitement didn't last long before a major problem suddenly occurred to her—she didn't seem to have that much stock left!
She never expected to receive so many orders, so she didn't take down the products that were in short supply last night.
Thinking of this, she quickly got out of bed and took stock of the remaining goods she had.
Sure enough, the remaining amount was not enough to distribute at all.
What should we do? We've already received the payment, and it's too late to make it right now.
She rested her chin on her hand, pondered for a long time, and finally could only contact some buyers who had placed orders later, apologize, and request refunds.
【Dear customer, I'm so sorry, the bunny craft item you ordered is out of stock. Could you please request a refund for me? I'm so sorry.】
She copied and pasted the same message and sent it to hundreds of people.
Before she could even finish notifying everyone, she received replies from some buyers.
KAIKAI will always be your brother: [Refunds are too much trouble. Just send me a replacement whenever you have stock. I'm not talking to you anymore, my phone's dead!]
"There's a golden house in books": [Miss, I'm not in a hurry. I'm buying this for my future boyfriend. I don't even know where he is right now, so I'm not worried, haha.]
Cute Boy: [No need for a refund, just send it to me when it's in stock, mwah (*▽*)]
Cold-faced Blade: [No returns, waiting for your restock.]
Zhou Qiao read through dozens of private messages. Everyone's replies were different, but without exception, they all said that a refund was not required. She felt that something was strange.
But she couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong. After a while, she comforted herself, thinking that maybe she was just lucky, and that everyone's temper was better during the New Year.
Chinese New Year is so wonderful! What a kind and understanding little buyer!
It seems that cultivating good character in her daily life does pay off!
Just then, another buyer replied.
It's a cat, not a meow: [It's okay after the New Year, Sister Qiaoqiao doesn't need to rush to finish work, remember to rest.]
The message was sent and then immediately retracted.
A short while later, another message came through: "Shipping after the New Year is possible."
Zhou Qiao, who witnessed the whole thing: "?"
A sudden wave of doubt washed over her: "How do you know my name?"
A moment later, a message came back: "Isn't your Taobao username 'Qiaoqiao'?"
Zhou Qiao suddenly realized, "Oh right, when I was choosing a customer service name, I didn't want the hassle, so I just called her Qiaoqiao."
She felt a little relieved, then asked, "How did you know I was a woman?"
The other person quickly replied with a "horrified" emoji: 【You seem so cute and innocent in chat, are you a guy?!】
Zhou Qiao was momentarily speechless.
Okay, she admits that her name and expressions are indeed quite feminine.
She coughed lightly and replied, "No, it's a girl."
The other person replied: 【Hehe, I knew it shouldn't be like this! Happy New Year in advance to the beautiful Qiaoqiao!】
Zhou Qiao was completely relieved this time, and replied with a smile, "Happy New Year, thank you for supporting our shop!" before putting down her phone.
Sigh, it seems she was overthinking it. She thought she had encountered some kind of pervert who hacked her account and doxxed her.
It turns out the other person was simply kind-hearted and had an eye for beauty.
The communication with several buyers went very smoothly, and Zhou Qiao was in an extremely good mood. She rolled around on the bed a few times, then got up and happily went out to find something to eat.
At the same time, in the yard outside the kitchen.
Several young men sat together on a stone bench.
"Damn, Cat Bro, you were way too careless! You almost gave yourself away!" Hou Kaixin said, still shaken.
Shen Li slapped him on the head: "We haven't been exposed yet, so stop making such a fuss."
Old Qi chimed in, "It's really dangerous not to say it. Cat, why did you type out 'Sister Qiaoqiao'?"
"Because I'm used to it, I just slip up and... never mind, luckily I reacted quickly..." Shen Li muttered.
He was actually quite scared when he thought about it.
If he were to expose them as the buyers because of this "basic mistake," he would be a sinner for all time! Brother Feng would be more than willing to tear him to pieces.
Just then, Ayan pointed to a spot not far away and said, "Keep your voice down, your sister-in-law is here."
Everyone fell silent instantly.
"Oh, so many of you, are you having a meeting here?" Zhou Qiao was in a good mood, and her voice was raised.
The group quickly stood up and turned off their phones, afraid that Zhou Qiao would see that they all had Taobao chat windows open.
"Um...we ate too much, let's go together to digest," Shen Li said.
"To aid digestion? While sitting down?"
"Ah..." Shen Li scratched his head: "I was just relieving my fatigue, so I sat for a while longer."
Zhou Qiao nodded and smiled, "Then you guys take your time, I'm going to eat first."
After saying that, she waved to them, turned around, and left.
The young men breathed a sigh of relief once Zhou Qiao had walked away.
"My God, that scared me to death," Hou Kai said, touching his chest.
"Don't say anything unlucky since it's almost Chinese New Year," Ayan said from the side.
Hou Kai clicked his tongue: "What kind of unlucky thing is this? How else should we say it?"
Han Xu, who was standing next to him, suddenly spoke up, his face expressionless: "You've struck it rich."
Hou Kai: "?"
Old Qi chuckled, but seeing everyone looking at him, he quickly stopped laughing and said with a chuckle, "Well, I just think Old Han has a good sense of humor."
Hou Kai rolled his eyes silently and then said, "What do you think Brother Feng is thinking? He gave us cards to support Sister-in-law's shop, but then he wouldn't let us tell her. Sister-in-law has no idea that he's done so many 'good deeds' from beginning to end. When will she finally be moved?"
Shen Li glanced at Hou Kai: "Do you know the difference between you and Brother Feng?"
