The 200-square-meter space had been divided into distinct areas, each marked by a corresponding colorful board indicating the clothes for sale.
The men’s and women’s clothing sections were clearly demarcated, with a dedicated area for children’s clothing. Every garment bore a price tag.
Periodically, cabinets displayed trendy gadgets, and sunblock clothing offered as gifts proved especially popular.
Xia Hai and Xia Feng managed the men’s wear section, Yan Han and Xia Wan oversaw the women’s wear section, while Xia Chen handled the accounting.
On the inaugural business day, a multitude of customers arrived. Among them were returning patrons who had previously shopped at the store, as well as newcomers drawn in by its offerings.
Two women huddled together, conversing in hushed tones.
“Imagine, this shop had never been rented out. I thought it would remain vacant. Yet, someone has taken it up. I was genuinely curious about who was behind it. Now that I see these clothes, I’m genuinely impressed. They’re truly exquisite!”
“I feel the same way. I’ve lived next door to this shop for years. Now that it’s open, irrespective of what it sells, I’m compelled to visit and take a look. I never anticipated being captivated by the clothes displayed right at the entrance.”
Both women were local neighbors, hailing from prosperous families. While Xia Wan’s clothing was slightly pricier than what was available elsewhere, they believed it was justified. If the prices were too low, doubts about the clothing’s quality would arise.
Among the clientele were both well-to-do individuals and students who utilized weekends for shopping expeditions.
Normally, these students would spend around 20 to 30 yuan on a short-sleeved shirt. However, some of the short-sleeved shirts in Xia Wan’s store were priced at 50 yuan, a significant sum for students.
50 yuan would typically suffice for purchasing two outfits priced at more than 20 yuan each.
One of the girls selected a purple short-sleeved shirt. The shirt boasted a faux double-layer design. At first glance, it seemed like a purple short-sleeved shirt combined with a smock, but in reality, it was a single piece.
The design of the dress was impeccable, catering to student preferences.
She held it uncertainly.
“Xu Ran, that dress suits you perfectly,” her friend advised. “You should get it.
It’s bound to attract envious looks from classmates.”
Xu Ran hesitated, torn. “But the price is quite steep. It’s over 50 yuan. I could buy an entire outfit with that money.”
Amidst the commotion, Xia Wan chimed in with a smile, “Today marks our opening day. If you spend 200 yuan or more, you’ll receive a sunblock jacket as a gift. Additionally, all your purchases will be eligible for a 10% discount. Buy three items, and I’ll throw in an extra 20% discount.”
Xu Ran’s temptation grew stronger.
She picked up a pair of jeans beside her, priced at 45 yuan.
Although pricey, they equated to two pieces of clothing.
She glanced at Zhao Yu beside her and suggested, “Zhao Yu, you should pick one too. That way, we’ll have three items and qualify for a 20% discount.”
When Zhao Yu had been the one recommending Xu Ran to make a purchase, she had been enthusiastic. Yet, now that it was her turn, she turned shy.
Xu Ran came from a relatively well-off family, which made the prices seem acceptable to her. If Xu Ran deemed the items expensive, she would naturally find them even more so.
Zhao Yu had accompanied Xu Ran for shopping and hadn’t intended on buying
anything herself.
“Ran Ran, I didn’t bring any money today,” Zhao Yu explained. “You go ahead and buy. I’ll do so next time.”
Fearing Xu Ran’s insistence, Zhao Yu added, “Didn’t you hear what they said earlier? Spending over 200 yuan gets you a free sunblock jacket valued at 25 yuan.”
Xu Ran found Zhao Yu’s reasoning convincing. She gritted her teeth and settled on a beige dress with a white smock, costing 120 yuan.
Xia Wan assisted in tallying up the bill, stating, “The three pieces total 55, 45, and 120 yuan, respectively. That’s over 200 yuan, earning you a sunblock jacket and a 20% discount. Your total comes to 176 yuan. Please take the receipt to the front desk for payment. Thank you.”
Xu Ran clutched the receipt, feeling as though she’d scored a deal.
What should have cost her 220 yuan had been reduced to 176 yuan after the discount. Additionally, the sunblock jacket, usually priced at 25 yuan, was free. Thus, these three pieces of clothing had effectively cost her only 151 yuan.
With her purchases in tow, Xu Ran exited the store with a happy gait.
Before spending the money, she had been contemplating ways to save. Yet, after actually buying the clothes, the feeling of contentment surpassed any financial consideration.
Zhao Yu followed behind silently, her gaze slightly downcast..
