"Who said itās not true? We understand it, but others donāt. Anyway, about finding someone, Iāll ask around for you. But donāt worry, Iāll be the first to support you at the opening tomorrow. I may not have friends, but Iāll do my best to spend and support you."
"Just buy what you need, my shop isnāt entirely dependent on you. Donāt worry, I persuaded the mall manager a few days ago. Didnāt you see the red banner outside? That promotion is enough. It wonāt be quiet tomorrow."
"Is that banner useful?"
"Definitely useful." She made it clear: everything is 50% off. 50% off, very tempting.
"Youāre right. Your clothes are already very stylish. I estimate your shop will definitely be popular in the future."
"Thanks for the good words." Lin Wan smiled, she loves hearing this now.
"Once you have enough staff here, help me check out the summer styles. Iāve finalized two designs, but Iām worried if theyāll work."
"What, not confident?"
"I donāt know why, but every time I meet you, my confidence gets wiped out, and I always want to hear your opinion before making a decision."
"Your ideas now really appeal to the masses. The styles are great."
"I feel the same way. Although my shop hasnāt been open for long, itās attracted quite a few people, especially young men and women. They love it. Look around, there are lots of new things on the street. Peopleās mindsets are slowly changing. I estimate that my shop will get more popular. Xiao Wan, recently a few young people asked if my shopās clothes could be rented. They only want to wear them for taking pictures, or to wear for a day on their wedding. Why do people think like this?"
Lin Wan frowned, contemplated for a moment, "Leqin, this method can also make money. Sometimes it makes more than selling an item. You can prepare one or two sets specifically for rent, charge by the day. Wouldnāt that be even better?"
"Thatās a good point." Wang Leqin clapped her hand, feeling this idea was great.
Originally, she came down to see if Xiao Wan needed any help, but unexpectedly Xiao Wan helped her again.
"Oh, Xiao Wan, youāre really my lucky star."
Lin Wan rolled her eyes, smiled, "Can this lucky star ask you to help us blow up balloons?"
"Of course."
Lin Wan busied herself at the store until after seven oāclock, with Little Star picked up by Mom.
But tomorrow is a Sunday, so the child wonāt have school, which makes it a bit troublesome.
"Let the child stay with us today. These days Iāve been home with two kids, and your Saozi can help mind the store." Liang Hongmei cares for her daughter. The least she can do is help with the kids.
"Thanks, Mom, Saozi, for troubling you these days."
"Thereās no trouble. The restaurant and hotel have staff, no need for extra people. If you get too busy tomorrow, just call me over," Mu Qing said.
"Okay," Lin Wan readily agreed.
Driving home, Ai Yi had already prepared dinner and was waiting for her.
"Why so late today? Whereās Xingxing?"
"Xingxing is at Momās place. Tomorrowās the opening, I donāt have time to watch her. Mom offered to help for a couple of days."
"Is the opening going to be hectic? I have a day off the day after tomorrow; Iāll come help you. Sit down and eat. Look at you, youāve lost weight recently."
"Yes, Iām starving, itās all because Iāve been too busy lately."
Recently, she was busy rushing fashion sketches and store renovations, almost constantly on the move. Theyāve only secured a retail store so far, no wholesale location yet. The spring clothes are on display now, but spring is almost over. Lin Wan didnāt let Su Ling produce too many.
She still needs to hurry and design a batch of summer clothes, including menās, womenās, and childrenās clothing, all to be complete. Itās quite a workload.
And there are still many things she needs to do.
"No matter how busy you are, you canāt let yourself starve, or Iāll feel bad. You canāt do this anymore." Han Yi, hearing that his wife was hungry, hurried to serve her with rice and dishes.
"Yes, Mom wanted me to eat at home before coming back, but I feared youād be worried at home. Plus... I wanted to come back and eat with you." Lin Wan drank some porridge, ignoring the stickiness on her mouth, she leaned in and gave Han Yi a peck on the cheek.
Han Yi didnāt mind Lin Wanās messiness, his lips curved into a smile as he helped his wife with dishes, happy just watching her eat.
