Soon, the three women changed their clothes and came out.
When they saw a group of people looking at them, they wished they could dig a hole and bury their heads.
They thought their outlandish outfits would draw criticism, but after waiting for a long time, they didn't hear any negative comments.
Wu Xiaohong looked at them and her eyes lit up: "Good heavens! This dress suits you so well; you look like elegant noblewomen now!"
This statement was immediately echoed by the surrounding customers:
"I also think this dress is very elegant; it's not as bad as you said."
"This dress can flatter the legs and hips, making people look younger. It's actually quite nice to buy one and wear it at home, just for your husband to see!"
"..."
Chen Lishu saw the situation turning around and took the opportunity to say, "Everyone, you are completely overthinking it. The dress is made of denim fabric, not a sheer piece of cloth. The private parts are well protected.
This dress is like a pair of jeans; both are designed to flatter the legs. I believe everyone can see the effect of this dress with their own eyes. Of course, whether it looks good is for you to decide."
When this point was raised, many people nodded: "It's good-looking, but we're afraid of being gossiped about if we wear it outside."
Chen Lishu held up her hand to signal a pause and then asked, "I believe many people here were attracted by how our models looked in these clothes, right? What was your first reaction when you saw this dress? Did you think it looked good, or did you think there was something wrong with wearing it?"
"I thought it looked good, which is why I came."
"That's right, I also thought it looked good, so I came to join the fun!"
"..."
One after another, people responded that they were drawn by the dress's attractive appearance.
Chen Lishu slapped her thigh and, in a step-by-step manner, guided them: "Yes, since you think it looks good, if you buy one and I buy one, and everyone wears such dresses on the street, it won't seem strange anymore.
Moreover, this dress can be paired with different clothes to create different effects, meaning you can change your style arbitrarily with just one dress!
You can be an elegant noblewoman, a strong woman in the workplace, or an intellectual and sweet woman. How can you miss such a perfect dress?"
With Chen Lishu's persuasive arguments, some wavering customers suddenly made up their minds, picked up the dresses, and headed to the fitting rooms.
With these people leading the way, the store employees immediately became busy.
Once the clothes were on, the customers were instantly captivated! Some were even reluctant to take them off and left the store after paying.
Half of the three hundred denim bodycon skirts were sold in just half an hour, with many customers scrambling to get them. It seemed like the first day of business was very successful.
Once the atmosphere was lively, Chen Lishu handed over the sales to the employees and found a small corner to rest.
As she idly observed the situation in the store, she happened to see Wu Xiaohong across the street. The great sales of the dresses today were thanks to her and her friends' help in promoting them.
Thinking of this, Chen Lishu walked towards Wu Xiaohong and her group.
When she approached Wu Xiaohong, she didn't know what she was saying to her friends, but her face was full of pride. Her friends, however, cast jealous glances at her and said sarcastically:
"Then Sister Wu, you are truly blessed. If you become successful and live a good life in the future, don't forget us little sisters!"
"But your son is also getting on in years. I wonder when he'll finally settle down. What if something goes wrong midway?"
"You, as a mother, don't seem to be helping your son. Perhaps you don't know how to broach the subject? Do you need the three of us to lend a hand?"
Chen Lishu stood by and listened to their conversation for a while, but she couldn't quite grasp what they were talking about. Unable to join the conversation, she could only honestly ask, "Lend a hand with what? Auntie, what are you discussing?"
Hearing the sudden voice, Wu Xiaohong and her friends were startled. Among them all, Wu Xiaohong's reaction was the most pronounced.
Perhaps it was Chen Lishu's imagination, but she thought she saw a flicker of guilt flash in Wu Xiaohong's eyes. Just as she was about to figure out the source of this guilt, the other woman turned around, cleared her throat, and said to her three friends:
"Everyone, girls are a bit shy. It's best if you don't speak carelessly. If this matter falls through, I won't let you off. I'll make a fuss outside your houses for three days and three nights!"
At these words, the atmosphere in the room quieted down.
Chen Lishu thought she had interrupted their conversation and was about to find an excuse to leave when Wu Xiaohong suddenly leaned affectionately towards her, showing concern like an elder: "Why did you come over? Have you taken care of the customers? How are the sales of the dresses?"
Chen Lishu smiled charmingly, "The customers are being attended to by the staff, so I don't need to focus too much on that.
Since Auntie Wu is here, of course, I have to entertain you and conduct some market research, asking if you are satisfied with the dresses and if there are any improvements you'd like me to make."
They were not professional designers, so how could they give pointers to professionals? Thus, their answers were all the same: no.
When one of the staff members overheard their responses, she immediately approached Wu Xiaohong's friends, Wu Qian and the other two, with shopping bags. After helping them pack their clothes, she said with a polite and pleasant smile, "Hello, customers. One dress is 20 yuan, so three dresses are 60 yuan! Please come to the front desk to pay."
Upon hearing the word "pay," Wu Qian's expression suddenly turned ferocious, and her tone became somewhat sharp and sarcastic: "You still want money? We are friends of Wu Xiaohong! We came here out of respect for her!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Wu Xiaohong's other two friends chimed in: "Exactly. How can you, a mere employee, act like you've never seen money before? Coming to collect payment so eagerly, perhaps you intend to pocket the money yourself?"
"Little Chen, right? I see you've made quite a bit of money today. As a big boss like you, you probably won't quibble over the cost of three dresses! How about you give us these three dresses, and also, I noticed you have clothes that match the dresses in your store. Why not throw in a few more sets for us!"
As the three women spoke, their demands became increasingly outrageous. Chen Lishu initially didn't intend to charge them for the dresses, as they had, after all, helped her significantly that day.
However, when their demands became increasingly excessive, and a hint of greed appeared in their eyes, Chen Lishu knew that such people should not be indulged.
Who knew if opening this precedent would lead to these people becoming even more unreasonable in the future? To avoid such troublesome situations, Chen Lishu chose to refuse.
