Having settled all the matters, Qin Xue was incredibly busy for the following half a month.

Thankfully, everything went smoothly, the house was renovated, and now all that was left was cleaning up and hanging up the clothes.

After the house on this side was renovated, a small door was opened between the two houses.

Qin Xue had someone renovate the original house as well, creating a partition for someone to live in, and made arrangements with the landlord to use the extra room next to the entrance of the house as a kitchen for cooking.

It took nearly twenty days for Fang Hong and the others to finish making clothes from the original fabric and then acquire another batch of thin fabric to make summer clothes.

...
Qin Xue’s belly was nearly four months along and starting to show, and the weather gradually warmed up.

Fang Hong made two pairs of overalls and two maternity dresses for Qin Xue, all of them designed by her, of course.

An Hao liked Qin Xue’s overalls, so Qin Xue designed a pair of overalls and a dress for her, which made An Hao extremely happy when they were made.

April 2nd was set as the trial business day by Qin Xue, and the grand opening would be on the 6th. Before the trial, Qin Xue and An Hao wore the store’s new clothes and distributed promotional leaflets in the streets around the city.

The leaflets printed with the store’s name “Chenxi Clothing” and two sets of clothes also listed a promotion for the first fifty customers who brought the leaflet during the trial period to receive a 50% discount, and those who came after would receive a 20% discount.

The name “Chenxi” symbolized that Qin Xue’s designs would stand out in this era, just like the intoxicating beauty of the rising sun, making everyone unable to let go.

At first, Qin Xue wanted to go all out and target high-end customers, but then she realized that many people wouldn’t be able to afford it.

So she divided the clothes into two batches: today’s opening focused on the high-end line, while the more affordable line would be introduced later, once the business was stable.

That’s why she chose the name “Chenxi,” which would allow her designs to enter every household.

On the trial business day, a few flower baskets were placed at the entrance, and once the firecrackers were set off, a large number of people entered to make purchases.

An Hao was already pretty and charming, and wearing Chenxi clothing made her even more beautiful. Many people had seen her when she distributed the leaflets, so most customers had seen her before they came to buy clothes.

Today, An Hao wore a puffy dress designed by Qin Xue, looking like a beautiful princess and attracting even more people.

Seeing the clothes on the models, everyone’s eyes sparkled with envy.

After the 50% discount, the clothes were selling for US$ 30 to US$ 40 each, but the consumption level in the city was relatively high, and these clothes were not available elsewhere.

So everyone was happy to buy one or two to wear.

Qin Xue, An Hao, and Yu Xiu were so busy greeting customers that they could hardly keep up.

Yu Xiu was hired by Qin Xue to help, with the idea that she would help sell clothes, and if she did well, she would be given the same treatment as Fang Hong and the others. An Hao volunteered to help on her own initiative.

What can you do when she simply loves the clothes Qin Xue designs?

As for Fang Hong and Fang Xiu, after coming over for the trial at the beginning, they went back to making clothes.

They were all so busy that they didn’t have time to eat, so Li Zhao bought food for them, taking turns eating their meals as his little wife was exhausted.

It wasn’t until 7 0’clock in the evening that they sent away their last customer and closed the store. An Hao was picked up by Li Zhao.

Now it was just Yu Xiu, Fang Hong, Fang Xiu, and Qin Xue left in the shop. They had sold hundreds of clothes, and Qin Xue took the money and counted it — more than US$ 3,000.

Qin Xue calculated that after deducting the cost, there was more than US$ 1,500 in profit.

Today’s high sales were mainly due to the discount and the novel styles; there might not be so many customers tomorrow. In a few days, they would find out the stable daily earnings.

The four of them cooked some noodles after counting the money, and then Mr. Xie came to pick up Fang Hong. Qin Xue and Yu Xiu went back to the base with them by car, while Fang Xiu stayed in the store with her child.

The tired group returned to the base, each went home, washed up, and went straight to bed. Even Mr. Xie and Xu Fangzhou couldn’t find a chance to ask about the situation today..
