Chapter 125 – A cheating scum and his mistress (3)
“I am not going to beat around the bush. I have had some issues with Yang Le and had someone look into her. I want to know who is backing her to allow her to be so blatant about her actions. The investigation turned up something interesting. That Le came to City Nan when she was still very young. She had an affair with her employer and was kicked out by his wife. The employer, however, sought her out again shortly thereafter. Bought her a house and helped her open up a clothing store. No need to doubt my words. You can ask around in City Nan’s Post & Telecommunication Unit.”
Shu Yan felt that the person on the other end of the phone was a bit too calm. Per the information that she has received, this woman was very much in love with her husband. Why else would she have insisted on marrying a poor man despite her parent’s objection? Not to mention that she had chosen to forgive him after what had happened. How would she react when she found out that her husband was still with Le?
“Okay, I get it. Can you tell me who you are?” The woman’s fingers that were holding onto the phone turned pale, but her tone was calm.
“You don’t need to know who I am. Let’s just say someone in the same boat as you. As someone who has been through the same, let me give you some advice. Once a cheater, always a cheater.” Shu Yan couldn’t help but add that last bit and regretted right away. She didn’t need to say that.
“Who is it?” asked Zhang Baizong tenderly.
“A friend of mind.” The woman smiled and said to Shu Yan. “I know what I need to do. I’ll look into this. If it turns out to be real, keke…”
The evil laugh from the woman at the end of the conversation gave Shu Yan the creeps. But, whatever. A cheating scum and his mistress. Neither one of them was good people.
On the last day of the promotion, Shu Yan posted a few bright red advertisements and had the two temporary workers go to pass out flyers. They had attracted many and it was even busier than the last few days. Shu Yan wasn’t able to tend to Tianbao, so she bought him a bag of snacks to snack on behind the counter.
When she was finally able to take a break, Shu Yan took a sip of water and felt that there was tugging on the corner of her shirt. “Mom, I want to poke a balloon too.”
“Okay, I’ll let you poke one too.” Shu Yan had noticed that Tianbao wanted to poke a balloon for a while now, but she wouldn’t let him. Now that it was the last day, she let him poke one.
He casually poked one and won an electric fan. Shu Yan took a look at Xiuxiu to make sure that she didn’t arrange for it. It was all Tianbao’s luck.
“Mom, did I win something?”
“Yes, our Tianbao is so mighty. We will put this electric fan in your room for you to use.” Shu Yan pinched his little nose.
“Really? Thank you, Mommy!” Tianbao struggled to pull the electric fan over behind the counter and wouldn’t even let Shu Yan help him. He couldn’t be happier.
After the promotional activities were over, Shu Yan, Zhang Huaxiu and Yingying started with inventorying before they analyzed which styles were more popular, which ones weren’t, and why…
All in all, older customers prefer more practical items. For example, they would want to buy something that they could wear in both fall, winter, and spring. The younger ones wouldn’t care about that as much. They cared more about the style; as long as they are pretty.
Truth was, anyone who’d come shopping at West City Nan Road was more affluent. Mostly, they looked at the style and quality of the clothing.
“Now that the promotional activities are over, you need to be prepared that businesses won’t be as good as before. You should learn to mix and match the clothing during your free time. In addition, how to handle unforeseeable circumstances. For example, when the customer brought the item back for return, never talk to them in a dubious tone. Once the customers get upset and start fighting with us, we will always get the short end of the stick at the shop.”
“I’m sorry,” said Yingying with her head lowered, embarrassed.
“I am not blaming you, but next time that happens, we should try to resolve it with a better approach. In addition, from this point forward, you will take turns serving the customers. Meaning, when the first customer comes, Xiuxiu will help them and Yingying will get the next one. Whether you are able to make a sale will be on you. The other one can help out. Help each other out. It’s easier to make a sale when there’s someone else chiming in. These are all sales techniques.
Remember to put your name on the receipt, otherwise I will not be able to pay you your commission. We have been too busy the last few days. From now on, you will track them on a notebook and I will keep a separate one as well. We will cross check the two at the end of the month when we calculate your commissions. It’s your own pay so you’d want to pay it particular attention.”
“Okay.” The two of them exchanged a look with each other. If they hadn’t thought much about commission before, they certainly do now.
“That’s all I have to say. I might be in a little bit later tomorrow. I need to go take a look at a rental. I don’t think it will take long, and I will be in as soon as I can.” Shu Yan had been staying in a motel with Tianbao the last few days. She’d go visit Jingjing before she headed to the shop. She didn’t want to disturb Teacher Liu too late at night after she was done.
