7th Story 10
Li Yueran didn’t expect this Miss Zhang to be so forthright. After being taken aback, she smiled and said, “When is the dance that Miss Zhang is going to attend? Let’s make this dress first! For the rest, I guarantee that it will be finished within a month and Ms. Zhang will like all the details.”
Ms. Zhang smiled, “The dance will be held in seven days. That’s it. How much is it?”
Li Yueran explained with a smile: “Because this is a tailor-made design. The price may be more expensive.”
Ms. Zhang said nonchalantly: “I know, just tell me!”
Li Yueran said a number, and Ms. Zhang took out her wallet without blinking her eyelids, “I will pay them now?”
Li Yueran smiled and said, “You can pay now, if it is not convenient, you can pay half of the deposit first, and then pay the balance after the clothes are ready.”
Miss Zhang shook her head, “It’s better to pay in full, lest you forget it when you get it.”
Li Yueran took the money and issued a receipt to Ms. Zhang, “Ms. Zhang, you can just use this receipt to get the clothes. By the way, this a VIP card in our store, with this card, you can enjoy a 30% discount on all purchases in our store.”
“Vip?” Miss Zhang looked at the card curiously, “What do you mean?”
It means very important people or VIP for short. You are the first VIP customer in our store!” Li Yueran said with a smile.
Ms. Zhang’s eyes lit up. She likes this card and it fits her identity. Moreover, the design of this card is also very good. There is an unknown font on the front, but it is a very elegant word of promise. The background is a magnificent peony. The three letters of VIP are printed on it, and the store address is below it. “Okay, I like this one. I didn’t expect you to be able to speak English, I can’t tell. By the way, are these clothes designed by you? I have many friends. When your clothes are ready, I can introduce them to your shop for consumption.”
Li Yueran smiled all over her face, “Okay, thank you Ms. Zhang. But anyone who is introduced by Ms. Zhang, I will give her a 5% discount.” Ms. Zhang did not expect Li Yueran to be so straightforward, “Okay, I will make you my friend. It’s settled. Don’t call me Miss Zhang anymore, call me Vivienne, my tutor named me. What’s your name?”
“Liu Qinghan.” Li Yueran smiled.
Vivienne nodded, “Liu Qinghan? Your name is like your person, full of classical atmosphere.”
Li Yueran said with a smile: “Your name is like your person, full of vigor and vitality.”
Vivian looked at Li Yueran and smiled. Because of Vivienne’s vigorous publicity, and because Vivienne wore a tube top pink skirt she shine at the ball, the Promise’s name finally spread, and there was an endless stream of guests who came to Promise, and some of them were generous, like Vivienne, tailor-made, and some can’t do it, but also bought a lot of clothes in the store. After a month, Liu Yuhan flipped through the accounts in the store, grinning from ear to ear, and Fang was also surprised for a long time, “It’s only been a month, and you’ve earned so much? Is it true… Huh?” Fang looked at her sister-in-law suspiciously, when did she know how to do business like this?
Liu Yuhan smiled, “Don’t tell me, your VIP idea is really good. When you spent a lot of money to customize these, I was still wondering if you were confused. Who would have thought that it would be so popular. Do you still have this VIP card? I have several business friends who are asking about it!”
Rare things are more expensive. Except for Vivian’s card, which is a special gift, the rest of the VIP cards must be in the store. You can only get it if you spend more than 5,000 yuan in it. This month, I only gave out ten tickets in total.” Li Yueran said with a smile, “But third brother, if your friends want it, it is not impossible. I will give three to third brother!”
“No!” Liu Yuhan and Fang said in unison. Liu Yuhan glanced at Fang, and said: “No, you can’t break the rules. Once you say this, if someone else asks for it in the future, should I give it or not?”
“If you spend 15,000, of course you can’t give it. You can’t push the white money out.”
“Little sister, you can only get a card for five thousand yuan of clothes. Has anyone bought it?” After the words were finished, Fang herself felt a little funny. Didn’t the younger sister just say that? Ten copies were sold in one month! Little girl is amazing!
“You don’t understand, these rich people now just want to show their status, and they have to be different from others in every way. Sister-in-law, in this clothing store, one is tailor-made, and the other is this VIP card. It doesn’t matter which one , are all status symbols. In this way, those rich people will flock to it.” Li Yueran said with a smile.
“Third brother, next season I plan to develop a men’s clothing series. As always, I’m only in charge of designing, and the rest will have to be taken care of by third brother.”
If she has to participate in everything, it will only make yourself and the people around you tired to death. Some things, those who should let go still have to let go.
“No problem. Little girl, your brain is really flexible. I wanted to say it just now, many of my friends were complaining about why Promised only make women’s clothes and not men’s clothes. That’s it! Little girl, I’m thinking, since we want to develop a new series, the current place must not be big enough, should we also rent the store next to our house, it just so happens that the store next to our house is not going to be opened, so it is better to use!” Liu Yuhan suggested. “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of these trivial matters. You are now the Promised cash cow, you don’t need to worry about other things.”
Fang was a little envious, hesitated, then said: “Yuhan, Little sister, tell me, can I also help in the store! I have no other intentions, but you are busy all day long, and I am the only idler. I also want to find something to do so that I can save myself from being bored at home.” In fact, she used to live like this when she was in her hometown. Yuhan was busy outside and she stayed at home by herself. It’s just that at that time, she had to deal with her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, so she didn’t have time to think about it. Now that she is in Hong Kong, maybe she is affected by the environment, especially when she sees her younger sister like this, she also thinks, why can’t she do what her younger sister can do? Even if she is not capable, she can do what she can. You can’t just stay where you are while everyone else is making progress. In this case, sooner or later, she will not be able to catch up with Yuhan’s footsteps.
Liu Yuhan looked at Fang Shi who looked anxious after speaking, and smiled, “It’s good that you have such an idea, I’m very happy. You want to come out and do something, have you thought about it, what do you want to do?”
Looking at Fang Shi shaking her head, Li Yueran thought for a while, “There just aren’t enough people in the store, and I’m recruiting people. Since the third sister-in-law wants to help, it’s just right. I heard that the third sister-in-law has a good in counting, why don’t you help me to collect the money!”
Fang’s eyes widened in surprise, “Is it really possible?”
Li Yueran and Liu Yuhan nodded at the same time, Fang smiled happily. Li Yueran thought of one thing,
“Third brother, don’t tell the family about my shop opening and third sister-in-law going to help. Although they are far away now and can’t control me, it’s disgusting to received telegrams every now and then.”
Liu Yuhan looked at Li Yueran helplessly, “What are you talking about! Mother and eldest brother are also doing it for your own good.”
“I know if it’s really for my own good, third brother, don’t try to persuade me. I don’t care. I opened this store with my own private house, and it has nothing to do with the family’s money. I’m just afraid that my mother will find out about the third sister-in-law’s work, and then there will be another storm. What kind of temper is mother, third brother, are you not know.” Li Yueran said.
Both Liu Yuhan and Fang were silent. Obviously, they knew Mother Liu’s temper better than anyone else. After a long time, Liu Yuhan said: “Don’t worry, I won’t tell our family.”
But the news that Li Yueran opened a clothing store and the business was booming spread to the ears of the Liu family. After hearing Li Yueran starting a business, Liu mom immediately fell ill with anger, couldn’t get out of bed, didn’t eat or drink, and only said that if Father Liu didn’t bring her daughter back, she would go on a hunger strike. The cause of the matter is Xie Fangfei and that Mr. Mike were about to return to Peiping. Before leaving, Mr. Mike took her to Hong Kong to buy clothes in order to make the beauty smile. Xie Fangfei discovered that the Promise was actually Li Yueran’s store, and the clothes in the store were all designed by Li Yueran. I feel very incredible. After returning to Beiping, when chatting with a friend, when talking about Mrs. Xu Wenxuan’s news, Xie Fangfei inadvertently said that Xu Wenxuan’s vision of seeing people is getting worse and worse. The matter of Li Yueran opening a shop in Hong Kong was revealed and spread immediately.
One of Liu Shuhan’s friends in Beiping told Liu Shuhan about this, and Liu Shuhan immediately told Liu’s mother. His original intention was that when he heard that the Promise was very profitable he wants to pull it to the family public account, maybe he can also get a share. Who knew Liu’s mother fell ill when she heard that the younger sister was going out to do business in public. She even clamored for a hunger strike to get the younger sister back. Seeing this, Liu Shuhan hurriedly slipped away, the matter had come to this point, it was beyond his control. If father found out that he leaked the news, then he must be in bad luck. Liu Shuhan asked his wife to serve Mother Liu, and slipped out on the pretext of going out to buy goods.
Father Liu’s face was gloomy, “You can do whatever you want. In short, even if I die, Qinghan is not allowed to be called back. What time is it now, and you still have to worry about these things. Are there still fewer women outside showing their faces? Or do you mean you can’t see Qinghan well?”
Mother Liu burst into tears, “Why can’t I see Qinghan well? I’m not doing this for Qinghan’s good. If she shows her face to do business like this, what kind of good will she have in the future? Who will be willing to marry her! What will she do in the future?”
Liu’s father said angrily, “Didn’t you always say three obediences and four virtues? Well, obey your father at home! As a father, I haven’t said anything yet, what qualifications do you have to Qinghan?” You are married to your husband, you have been married to the Liu family for so many years, do you still not want to obey your husband!”
Mother Liu blinked, speechless.
