“Since the three of you were brought here by Auntie Wu, we naturally have to offer a discount. These three dresses will be sold at a 25% discount,” Chen Lishu said, handing the three dresses to a staff member.
Just as the staff member was about to pack them, Wu Qian stepped forward and stopped them, asking haughtily, “Wait a moment. Didn’t Mr. Chen hear what we just told you? These three dresses are on the house for us.”
“Your business is so booming today, you should have already made the money for these three dresses. Do you still care about the cost of three dresses? Or does Wu Xiaohong’s influence not carry that much weight?!” Da Feng Xiao Shuo
After she finished speaking, her sisters exchanged glances, their eyes filled with schadenfreude.
Wu Xiaohong watched from the side, her lungs about to explode with anger.
Instead of showing off, she had become the laughingstock. She was almost ready to abandon her bag and leave.
However, Chen Lishu was not someone to be trifled with. Before Wu Xiaohong could erupt, she heard Chen Lishu say, “It’s not that Auntie Wu’s influence isn’t enough, but you all know I’m a businesswoman. If everyone came to me for free dresses by claiming connections, wouldn’t my store have to close down tomorrow?”
Chen Lishu paused, a look of distress appearing on her face, and she answered her own question, “However, my concerns might be unnecessary. Most people wouldn’t do such a thing! But what if one encounters a few shameless individuals?”
As she said the last sentence, Chen Lishu looked up and scanned Wu Qian and the others. Suddenly, she smiled and said, “I must be overthinking. With the improvement in living standards and the rise in people’s quality, how can there be so many shameless people? Someone, pack these three dresses for me!”
Hearing Chen Lishu’s repeated accusations of shamelessness, Wu Qian and the others turned red with anger. As the staff member handed over the clothes, Wu Qian could faintly feel many people staring at them.
Still wanting to save face, they could only grit their teeth, glare fiercely at Chen Lishu, and say, “We don’t want them anymore!”
With that, the group left the store in a huff.
Watching their retreating backs, Chen Lishu’s expression turned cold as she said, “Since they don’t want them, put these three dresses back on the shelves!”
As soon as she finished speaking, a young girl ran over, her smile uncontrollable, saying, “Mr. Chen, do we have any more dresses? Almost all the dresses that arrived today have been sold. There are still many customers outside who haven’t bought any and are urging us to restock!”
Sold out?
It had only been a little over an hour since they were put on the shelves, and the dresses were almost sold out!
It seemed this opening was much more successful than she had anticipated.
Chen Lishu said, “The factory is temporarily overwhelmed. We might not be able to restock until tomorrow. You should inform the customers about the situation and ask them to come back tomorrow.
If they can’t make it, they can leave an address and pay an extra two yuan, and we can deliver them according to size! Oh, and this is only for the west of the city. If it’s outside the delivery range, we won’t be able to.”

“Home delivery?”
When the staff member relayed Chen Lishu’s message, the customers in the store were stunned. Immediately, they were drawn to this novel service, and many began to discuss it.
“There’s such a good thing? I happen to be busy tomorrow! This really solves a problem for me!”
“Then can we be guaranteed to get the clothes tomorrow? If so, I’ll order three now!”
“I want four!”
“I want…”
“…”
Soon, a second wave of excitement was ignited in the store.
Wu Xiaohong, who had been hiding in the distance, saw the scene on the opening day and her eyes instantly lit up. She unceremoniously approached Chen Lishu and asked, “Xiao Chen, how many dresses did you put on display today? How did they sell out so quickly?”
Hearing Wu Xiaohong’s voice, Chen Lishu turned to her and said, “Three hundred.”
Three hundred?! To her knowledge, a hip-hugging denim skirt cost twenty yuan, meaning the total revenue today was six thousand yuan! No, it was likely more than that!
Besides the hip-hugging denim skirts, there were other clothes in the store. Some customers found the styles acceptable and also bought one!
Wu Xiaohong, being half a businesswoman, roughly estimated for Chen Lishu. After deducting the cost of goods and labor, today’s income was likely around two thousand yuan!
Two thousand yuan! That was half a year’s salary for an ordinary family! Wu Xiaohong pursed her lips, her emotions fluctuating between excitement and silence.
Chen Lishu looked at her strange behavior and asked doubtfully, “Auntie Wu, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”
Wu Xiaohong withdrew her thoughts, waved her hand at Chen Lishu, and said, “No… nothing. I just remembered I have some things to deal with at home, so I’ll be leaving now!”
“Wait a moment, Auntie!” Chen Lishu called out to Wu Xiaohong. Today, thanks to her bringing three friends to patronize her store, she had found an opportunity for promotion.
Then, she took the last hip-hugging skirt from the shelf, packed it, and handed it to Wu Xiaohong.
Chen Lishu said, “Your friends tried on this dress and the effect was quite good. I see that your figure is even taller and curvier than theirs! You should wear this style of dress even better.
Since you’ve come today, how can I let you leave empty-handed? Take this dress and try it on to experience it. If you feel any discomfort, feel free to give me feedback!”
Hearing Chen Lishu praise her as being better than those three plastic sisters, Wu Xiaohong was so overjoyed that her mouth couldn’t close. She didn’t refuse, took the dress, and hurried out of the store.
After Chen Lishu saw Wu Xiaohong off, she turned and joined the staff in attending to customers.
After working busily for seven or eight hours, almost all the clothes in the store were sold. Chen Lishu locked up the store and paid the part-time employees.
Looking at the staff who were cleaning, she said, “This opening was very successful, and it’s inseparable from everyone’s efforts. To reward everyone, I’ve decided to have a gathering this Saturday! We’ll go out and have some fun!”
A gathering? Go out and have fun?
Many people showed surprise when they heard the news. Not only was the salary high for working here, but there were also occasional small benefits. Such a good job was hard to come by!
At that moment, many people secretly vowed in their hearts to work hard for Mr. Chen, because only when Mr. Chen made money could they make money!
As a result, for a long time afterward, Shu Se Group became known for its unity and diligence, leaving a very good impression on customers. The reputation for good service was thus established!
