Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Today, Xu Ran purchased new clothes, setting the stage for tomorrows Monday when she was sure to capture the attention of her cla.s.smates, allowing her to stand out conspicuously. Once again, she would become her own ant.i.thesis.

Xia Wans accounting work proceeded seamlessly, swiftly completing the bookkeeping on each occasion. Yan Han also excelled in clothing sales these days, her calligraphy and arithmetic skills ensuring smooth task execution.

However, Xia Hai found settling the bills somewhat challenging each time. Xia Wan directly advised him to clarify the rules to customers and provide them with tickets, each clearly displaying the clothing price. By presenting the ticket to Xia Chen, customers would receive a discount.

Initially, Xia Hai was fl.u.s.tered, often making calculation errors. Nevertheless, practice honed his skills, improving his ability to estimate whether the clothes totaled 200 yuan and whether they qualified for free sunblock clothing.

It wasnt until eight oclock in the evening that the shops customer count dwindled. The few remaining were fatigued and began to rotate for rest.

Xia Wan asked Xia Feng to fetch a few fried cakes, and the family had dinner.

After around half an hour, Xia Feng returned. One person remained in the mens and womens sections, while the others went to eat.

Upon finis.h.i.+ng their meals, Xia Wan took over Xia Chens position.

The shop remained open until ten oclock at night.

Xia Chen retrieved the days earnings from the drawer and placed the money on the table.

Seeing the substantial amount of money, their eyes lit up.

Xia Chen smiled and said, Ive already done the calculations. We earned a total of 3500 yuan today. After deducting the costs of 1300 yuan, our net income is

2200 yuan.

The group cheered excitedly.

Despite making money, it was significantly less than their earnings today.

Yan Hans happiness was tempered by concern. Although business is thriving now, it might dwindle after a couple of days. What should we do?

Our shop has ongoing expenses such as water, electricity, and rent. Its distinct from the previous stalls.

Understanding Yan Hans apprehensions, Xia Wan said, Mom, did you notice that most of the customers who bought clothes from our store were new customers? Moreover, their fas.h.i.+on sense was more sophisticated than our previous customers.

Yan Han nodded, acknowledging this observation.

The shops visitors had different clothing preferences compared to those at the stalls. After selling clothes for a while, Yan Han had developed a knack for a.s.sessing the quality of a customers attire. This provided insights into the financial status of their families.

Today, among the individuals visiting their shop to purchase clothing, there was a notable group of students. The women who had come for shopping were all well-presented, both in terms of their hairstyles and attire. Their well-groomed hands suggested that they werent accustomed to strenuous labor, and it was evident that they came from affluent backgrounds.

Xia Wan nodded and continued, The towns population is significantly larger than our villages. Despite being on a busy street, many quality-conscious shoppers wouldnt even consider us.

So, my strategy is to sell all the summer clothes. When autumn arrives, Ill venture to other cities to procure high-quality clothing.

Sister Hongs garments were of higher quality compared to other shops, but this was only within the local context.

Xia Wan aimed to ascend, entering the realm of affordable luxury.

Xia Chen, Xia Hai, and Yan Han were taken aback by Xia Wans proposal.

Xia Chen said, Youre still a student. Traveling to other cities could be risky and potentially affect your studies.

Dont worry about my grades, Xia Wan rea.s.sured them. Liu Sha is helping me catch up on lessons every day. Ive covered all the material from Grades One to Three.

Xia Chen wanted to persuade her otherwise, but Xia Wans determination was evident. She was resolute about procuring goods outside the town.

Xia Chen said, If youre set on this, Ill accompany you. I wont be at ease otherwise.

This time, Xia Wan readily agreed.

As long as she could embark on the journey to source clothes, she didnt mind who accompanied her.

Additionally, having Xia Chen by her side would offer valuable experience.

An agreement was quickly reached. Xia Wan and the other two would return to school for the day, while Yan Han and Xia Hai would manage the shop.

Yan Han felt a bit apprehensive about the significant responsibility entrusted to her. Today, all five of us were so busy.. If its just your dad and me tomorrow, what if we struggle with the accounts?
