Reborn in the 80s: She Rewrites Life with Radiance-Chapter 101 Jingying Second Store
Chapter 101: Chapter 101 Jingying Second Store
Gu Yi found some paper and a pen, writing today’s activities neatly and hanging them at the shop entrance.
Gu Yi also drew many little flowers on it, making it look very pretty.
After finishing these, Gu Yi checked all the clothes on display again, ensuring every detail was perfect, then stood in front of the cash register.
"This feeling is completely different from when I opened my first store. Back then, I just didn’t want to listen to my parents and randomly did whatever."
Li Yitian also stood beside Gu Yi and said.
"But later, for a while, my family kept talking about the store, saying I wasn’t doing a good job, and business was half-dead. I had a spat with them then, and it was just at that time I met you. I started to value the store more and invested more in it."
Li Yitian smiled at Gu Yi.
"Hmm, and now?"
Gu Yi was actually quite curious because she was really nervous. This was her first real clothing store, and she planned to open more nationwide in the future.
As they say, the hardest part is the beginning. If this business goes well, she’ll have more confidence in opening more stores later.
"Now, I’m very nervous, just worried that business here won’t be good."
Li Yitian smiled awkwardly.
"It’s only natural; I’m also worried because our expectations for this place are too high, so we feel this way."
Gu Yi comforted.
Li Yitian nodded after hearing this.
Because the second store is located on a street very close to a residential area.
So they didn’t plan to light firecrackers to avoid being uncelebratory, but Gu Yi thought of buying some flower baskets to put at the entrance yesterday.
At ten o’clock, no sale had been made in the store yet.
It’s not that no one came in.
But many people walked around the store and then left.
The three employees in the store were starting to get anxious.
Their salaries included commissions, so if no one bought anything, their pay wouldn’t be high either.
They began standing at the entrance, and if someone came in, one person would follow and introduce the products throughout while the other two continued to stand at the entrance to attract customers.
Seeing them, Gu Yi suddenly relaxed. frёewebnoѵēl.com
Yes, do your best and leave the rest to fate.
Soon after, Xiao Yang made a sale.
Though it was just a small transaction, selling just one set of clothes, at least it was a good start.
The morning passed just like that.
Ye Wu finished lunch, and around one o’clock.
The store suddenly became lively.
"Is this a newly opened store? I saw this place was still under renovation a while ago."
A few young girls walked in and looked around, and one of them said.
"Yes, this store is newly opened. I think I saw a store called Jingying in the department store too, and the clothes there were quite good."
"Hello, welcome. We are the same company as the one in the department store; that one is Jingying’s first store, and we are Jingying’s second store. The clothes are the same, but we’re having a 20% discount today because it’s our opening day, so you can take a look around and try on anything you like. Today’s purchases are really worth it."
Xiao Yang quickly stepped up to introduce them.
The girls, hearing about the discount today, quickly went to choose their favorite clothes.
The store suddenly became busy.
It may have been those girls who brought the bustling atmosphere, and before long, the store was full.
In the end, Li Yitian could only stand at the cash register to handle the money, and Gu Yi and the others were busy fetching clothes for customers to try on and then packing the ones they liked.
It wasn’t until seven in the evening that the crowd in the store began to thin out, and by eight o’clock, all the customers had left.
None of them had eaten dinner.
"Now that there are no customers, let’s close a bit earlier today. I’ll treat you all to a good meal to celebrate our great opening."
Li Yitian shouted happily.
Xiao Yang and the three others were thrilled to hear this but didn’t say anything, all looking at Gu Yi.
For some reason, although they were all recruited by Li Yitian, after spending the day together, they felt Li Yitian often listened to Gu Yi. Since Gu Yi hadn’t spoken, they didn’t feel right to agree.
"Why are you all looking at me? I have no objections; you should hurry and think about what you want to eat, as President Li is treating us. Our standard should be to choose something expensive."
Gu Yi found the scene amusing and quickly said with a smile.
"No problem, pick wherever you want."
Li Yitian looked like he was ready to spend big.
In the end, everyone decided to go for barbecue.
Eating barbecue and drinking beer, being young, they quickly became friendly.
Since they had work the next day, everyone drank in moderation.
Gu Yi got home and it was almost ten o’clock.
She was just about to take a shower when the phone at home rang.
"Yiyi, it’s Ye Hao. What are you doing?"
"I was just about to take a shower, just got home; I’m all sweaty."
"Were you busy at the store until now?"
"No, we went out for barbecue."
Gu Yi only drank a little beer, but listening to Ye Hao’s voice over the phone, she felt the beer she drank started to take effect.
"Did you enjoy it?"
Ye Hao actually wanted to ask about the store’s business, but he was afraid if business wasn’t good, Gu Yi might get upset if he asked.
"I did enjoy it a lot. The store was so busy this afternoon we didn’t even have dinner, so Yitian treated us to barbecue. It was kind of a celebration for the new store’s opening."
Gu Yi briefly recounted today’s situation at the store.
"Does that mean I need to cling to your leg even more in the future?"
Ye Hao joked.
Gu Yi, imagining Ye Hao clinging to her leg, couldn’t stop laughing.
"Sure, lucky my legs aren’t thick, you should be able to hold on tightly, hahaha..."
Gu Yi laughed so hard she couldn’t stop.
"Alright, be good and take a shower, rest early. Are you going to help at the store tomorrow?"
Seeing that it was getting late, Ye Hao urged Gu Yi to quickly go shower.
"Yes, I have to help out for these days before school starts. Maybe because today is Saturday, business was especially good, but weekday business shouldn’t be as busy as today."
More people go shopping over the weekend; during workdays, people don’t have much time to go out.
"Okay, take care of yourself. I’ll come to find you when I have some time off. Goodnight."
"Mm, goodnight."
Gu Yi was somewhat reluctant to hang up the phone.
"I’m back home; you hang up first."
Seeing that Gu Yi hadn’t hung up, Ye Hao said again.
"Alright, you rest early too. Goodnight."
Gu Yi saw that it was really late, so she hurriedly hung up the phone, knowing that if she didn’t, Ye Hao wouldn’t either.
Gu Yi took a shower and lay in bed, suddenly finding it hard to sleep.
She reckoned Ye Hao was also lying on his bed, just unsure if he had fallen asleep yet.
When Gu Yi got back, she hadn’t visited Wang Yuan yet and didn’t know what gift Wang Yuan had brought her.
Her mind drifted from one thing to another, and maybe because she was tired today, she fell asleep soon after.
She must have been having a sweet dream as a smile lingered at the corner of her mouth.
