Chapter 39 Very Harmonious

"Will this work?" Chen Zhi had never tried this method before and was a little hesitant. "Good wine needs no bush. As long as the product is good, there is no need to spend so much effort. Just hire some gongs and drums, set off some firecrackers, announce the second opening, and sell the products at a lower price. Naturally, people will come."

Hearing this, Xu Shuhe raised his index finger and shook it lightly.

"No, even good wine needs a bush. Why is the business of this shop we chose so mediocre? Is it because the quality of the goods is not good? Is it because the fabrics and styles are worse than those of other shops of the same type? None of them. It's because the location of the shop is not good enough."

This was something Chen Zhi and she had investigated together, and it was indeed the case, so Chen Zhi nodded at this moment.

Xu Shuhe continued, "The opening of the brocade shop is in a good location and the shop is conspicuous, so as long as we make a noise as you said, everyone will see it. Our shop is not good, so we have to think of other ways to make up for the shortcoming of not spreading the news widely enough during this second opening, so as to achieve better results."

"Okay, since you think it's feasible, let's give it a try." Chen Zhi whispered.

When he agreed, Xu Shuhe clapped his hands lightly and smiled.

But Chen Zhi immediately gave her another difficult question, "Where can we find girls who can wear our clothes and show off? They need to have good figures and decent looks. There are not many girls around us who meet the requirements."

This is indeed a problem.

"Xinyue and Meixiang are both good, so I'll also consider them. I'll also see if there are any who meet the requirements in our courtyard." Xu Shuhe said as he pondered, and then an idea suddenly occurred to him, "Also, the families of the shopkeepers and shop assistants in our shops, if they are around, you can ask them to come over and have a look. With so many people, it may be possible to find qualified ones."

Chen Zhi agreed with this idea.

Another said, "Since we are going to promote it this way, I think we should select some of the regular customers of the store and give them some of our new patterned fabrics."

"Not bad." Xu Shuhe nodded approvingly, "Then send it in advance, and give them a note, asking them to come and have a look at the store when we reopen for the second time."

Just to show your support.

That being said, the two of them went their separate ways in tacit agreement.

Xu Shuhe was responsible for selecting models to display the clothes, while Chen Zhi was responsible for sending gifts and invitations to old customers, as well as arranging the second opening.

It is indeed a good idea to find suitable models from the family members of store employees.

Especially Xu Shu and Yan Ming, if they were selected, they would be given money, so the people below would be more motivated.

All the families with young and pretty women were brought to the store for Xu Shuhe to look at, and he only needed one or two days to select all the people.

Just looking at the group of young girls in front of him, Xu Shuhe always felt that something was missing.

At this moment, a middle-aged woman with a good temperament happened to come into the store and immediately awakened Xu Shuhe.

Yes, her business is not limited to people of different ages, she even sells men's and women's clothing together. If she can find a handsome man to be her model, that would not be a problem.

So Xu Shuhe immediately passed the message on again.

In this way, I did find some sisters-in-law and aunts with good conditions, but I didn't find any models for men's clothing.

But it doesn’t matter, these people are enough.

Next, Xu Shuhe began to train these people's etiquette.

If you want clothes to look good, your natural body shape must not be ruined, and this task is left to Xinyue and Meixiang.

After all, in the Chen family, these two maids have learned some rules. Of course, they are not as good as those in wealthy families, but they are enough to teach ordinary people.

It just so happens that it will take some time to rush out the new style of clothes, so during this period, she can train the models well. Xu Shuhe has already thought about it. If the effect is good this time, and there are excellent models in this batch, she can continue to use them in the future.

It also provides these women with a job where they can earn money on their own.

In addition to these, Xu Shuhe did not forget to check on Chen Zhi's academic progress every day.

This made Chen Zhi feel even more that Xu Shuhe was like his master.

But where can I find such a young and lovely master, Chen Zhi thought to himself, and also felt that this was Xu Shuhe urging him to start his own career.

Yes, supporting the husband and raising children is what a virtuous wife would do well.

Chen Zhi thought to himself, if this standard is used, Xu Shuhe is not only his good wife, but also can stand on her own two feet and have her own ideas. She is truly a formidable woman.

Similarly, Xu Shuhe thought Chen Zhi was also good.

He is studious and motivated, but not pedantic. He is a truly good kid.

During this period, Chen Zhi's business attributes on the system page changed every few days, which shows that he is really making progress every day.

It’s much easier to raise such a well-behaved child!
Because they both think each other is good, even though their thinking is not on the same channel, they get along very harmoniously.

Lin Hui saw the harmony between the young couple and felt happy.

She had originally planned to wait until the small shop that the two of them had run reopened before taking them back to the capital. However, news came from the capital that something had happened to the old lady at home. This made Lin Hui unable to sit still in Qizhou.

He immediately ordered people to pack their luggage and prepare to return to Beijing the next day.

After receiving the news, Xu Shuhe naturally went to the guest house where Lin Hui lived immediately.

"What happened to grandma? Why is aunt in such a hurry to go back, but the situation is very serious?"

"The letter said that the old lady went for a walk in the garden in the afternoon and accidentally fell. She was said to have sprained her ankle. But the old lady had just recovered from an illness, and I was afraid that it would cause other discomforts. So I was very worried about her," Lin Hui explained.

There was no trace of false worry in her eyes, which showed that she and the old lady of the Zhou family really had a good relationship as mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Xu Shuhe also looked worried after hearing this, "Why did he fall down for no reason? This old man is most afraid of falling."

"That's right." Lin Hui nodded, "So I have to go back and take a look. I've been in Qizhou for quite some time."

After she said that, Xu Shuhe thought about it and said.

"Aunt, my husband and I will go to the capital with you. We originally said that we would go to the capital to pay our respects to our grandmother. Now that this has happened, we should go and visit her."

"That's what I had planned." Lin Hui patted her hands and said softly, "But you and Sanlang are busy with the second opening of the shop. How can you leave now? If the old lady's condition is serious, it must have been explained in the letter. If it wasn't, it should be fine. In my opinion, you should stay in Qizhou and be busy with the things at hand. I will go back to Beijing to take a look. When I go back, I will send someone to send an express letter and tell you the situation as soon as possible."

This is indeed the case. The preparations for the second opening of the shop are proceeding in an orderly manner, and the invitations to old customers have already been sent out. It would not be a good idea to stop suddenly and change the time.

So after listening to Lin Hui's words, Xu Shuhe nodded.

"Okay, then aunt, go back first. My husband and I will sort out the shop's affairs as soon as possible. I hope that grandma is safe and sound so that we can go and pay our respects to her."

　Chen Zhi: My wife is really capable and virtuous
　　Xu Shuhe: My son is really good and motivated
