Reborn in a small village in the 1990s

Chapter 385

While Qi Bin was still deep in thought, Zhou Chunwen gave him an encouraging look and finally made up her mind, saying to Qi Bin, "I want to try again!"

Seeing Zhou Chunwen's determined look, Qi Bin sighed, patted Zhou Chunwen's shoulder to comfort him, and said, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself, just do your best."

Zhou Chunwen nodded, silently cheering herself on. "Come on, Zhou Chunwen! You can't let the goose down. If you don't succeed this time, you won't have the face to come out with the goose to work next time."

Putting on sunglasses, the world before her eyes darkened, losing its vibrant colors. This gloomy world gave Zhou Chunwen a sense of security; at least she couldn't see the expressions of the people in front of her, and she wasn't as nervous.

Qi Bin started playing music, and Zhou Chunwen was to follow the beat of the music and strike a pose at key moments, and then the music would begin.

Zhou Chunwen took a deep breath, and as the music reached its climax, she finally took her first step, though this time she wasn't as nervous as before.

He walks very steadily, after all, he practiced for several hours.

After Zhou Chunwen walked the entire way, she was fine except for a little flustered when posing.

Zhao Da'e's eyes lit up, and she clapped her hands, encouragingly saying, "Big Cousin, you're amazing! You've improved so much since before, and you don't wobble when you walk anymore. I told you you could do it!"

Cheng Jinxiang nodded in agreement, "Chunwen, you just lack a bit of confidence. You see, you can actually do it well."

Zhou Chunwen's face was filled with disbelief, but her heart was filled with joy. She really did it! She really did it!

She can walk the runway now, and she won't cause any trouble for the geese anymore!

Qi Bin turned the music back on, "Let's go through it a few more times, we'll practice for about ten minutes and then go take a break."

After all, the fashion show starts at six o'clock, and if things go a little later, the shop needs to open at five o'clock to get busy.

Everyone was cooperating with Qi Bin at this moment; no one wanted to cause any trouble.

After putting on sunglasses, Zhou Chunwen walked more calmly, not as timid as at the beginning, which can be considered an improvement.

Half an hour later, after everyone rested for a while, Qi Bin and Zhao Da'e went downstairs to the shop to get busy.

During this time, Cai Xiafeng and Xiangzi also returned after finishing their work on the Kangxi Spring.

When Cai Xiaofeng heard that three people hadn't shown up for the fashion show, her heart skipped a beat. She hadn't expected that even though they had recruited five people and offered them very good terms, there would still be people missing from the most important fashion show. Cai Xiaofeng had underestimated how people around her viewed girls. Perhaps in some people's eyes, girls who came out in public were just trying to seduce men.

Cai Xiaofeng was disgusted by such thinking. How could a girl showing her face in public be considered seduction? Some people's thoughts are just so filthy.

Fortunately, Cheng Jinxiang and her team walked the runway, so they weren't short of five people. If they didn't hold the runway, the store would be labeled as untrustworthy before it even opened, which would be bad for the store's development.

Qi Bin first picked out the clothes that Cheng Jinxiang and the others would need for the fashion show. Then he glanced at the inventory in the warehouse and had a general idea of ​​what to expect. He then carefully checked the price tags on the clothes to see if any were missing. He didn't want to have to check the order to find out the price wasn't on the tag when customers came to see the clothes, which would be too troublesome.

During the inspection, Qi Bin did find a few items that hadn't been labeled. Qi Bin didn't dare to think about what would happen if such a mistake occurred while the shop was open for business. He would be busy dealing with other customers, and adding labels and prices would involve many tedious steps. If he neglected other customers and made them feel uncomfortable, it would definitely have a certain impact on his shop.

The most important thing to know when opening a shop is to provide excellent service. If you provide excellent service, you won't have to worry about not having repeat customers. In fact, customers might even bring their friends and family.

After working for a while, Zhao Da'e and Qi Bin looked at each other, nodded, and opened the door after confirming that there were no problems. The sign "Open for Business" was still hanging above the store.

To increase customer traffic, Zhao Da'e voluntarily picked up flyers and handed them out everywhere, while Qi Bin and Cai Xiaofeng stayed in the store to serve customers if they came. Cheng Jinxiang and others took a break because they would be busy with the fashion show at six o'clock later, and Xiangzi came over to help out.

Soon the shop welcomed its first customer. Qi Bin was very nervous. After all, he had only ever run a small shop and had no experience selling clothes. So these days, in addition to being busy with the shop, he was also busy learning how to sell clothes.

The first girl to enter looked curiously at the clothes in the shop and asked, "Did you just open today?"

Qi Bin nodded, his face full of smiles. "Yes, we just opened today. Sir/Madam, what kind of clothes do you want? Just tell me and I'll try to find some for you."

Qi Bin was a little nervous about welcoming guests for the first time. He tried his best to keep his voice steady and appear calm, hoping to make a better impression on the guests.

On the other side, Zhao Da'e was getting a little tired from handing out flyers. The front desk had already handed out flyers, so the effect wasn't as obvious today. Quanshui County is only so big, and many people already know that a new shop is about to open here. Zhao Da'e felt that the most important thing right now was to let people know that the shop had already started operating.

After thinking it over, Zhao Da'e saw a passerby selling loudspeakers on the street and suddenly had a great idea.

Zhao Da'e spent over ten yuan to buy a loudspeaker, recorded his own voice in it, and then placed it at the shop entrance to repeatedly play back his voice.

"The store is now open! Don't miss out! On the first day of the new store opening, all clothes are 50% off!"

"Don't miss out! Our store is now open! All clothes are 50% off! You won't regret it! Click in and take a look!"

"There's also a free fashion show to watch at the store at 6 PM!"

It's the same words over and over again, but it's much more effective than Zhao Da'e handing out flyers himself.

At the very least, whenever someone passes by the shop and hears the sound, they'll be curious and take a look.

More and more customers came into the store. The clothes inside were novel and much more attractive than those in ordinary stores. In particular, some young girls were amazed when they saw the bold color combinations and clothing styles. They kept thinking about trying on these beautiful clothes to see if they would suit them.

Zhao Da'e also joined in, busying herself with the shop's affairs, mainly providing some emotional value.

Before the customer changed her clothes, Zhao Da'e said, "Sister, this floral dress suits you very well. It's a fitted dress that will show off your figure. Besides, it's a hot seller in Jinzhou. It's only this price, and it's even half price. It's okay if you don't buy it, but you can try it on. Trying it on is free. Just think of it as seeing if it looks good on you."

The girl couldn't resist trying on the dress, and after she did, Zhao Da'e praised it again:

"This dress perfectly accentuates your figure! It makes your legs look incredibly long. The size is just right—not too tight, not too loose, and it allows for easy movement. And look at the color, it complements your skin tone so well, making you look radiant. Plus, the bow design on the back makes you look like a fairy when you walk—no, you look like a fairy in this dress!"

Zhao Da'e's lavish praise made the girl feel flattered, and unsurprisingly, she promptly bought the beautiful dress.

Zhao Da'e breathed a sigh of relief, having secured another order. Although with the 50% discount, after deducting costs, each order might only earn a few yuan, but little by little, selling more clothes could add up to a lot of money.

In addition, Zhao Da'e also asked Xiangzi to take some time to buy some fireworks and firecrackers to set off when the fashion show started at six o'clock.

This will make it more lively and attract more people.

Soon it was six o'clock, and Zhao Da'e asked Qi Bin to come out with a megaphone. After all, the fashion show was about to start, and Qi Bin needed to use the megaphone to ask people to make way for him so that the show could proceed smoothly.

Zhao Da'e looks like a seven-year-old child, so she doesn't have much of an impact on this kind of work. It's better to leave it to Qi Bin. Anyway, she's already the boss, so she should learn to let go and let Qi Bin do his job.

Qi Bin, holding a megaphone, shouted to the people outside the shop, "Fellow villagers, the 'Goose is Here' shop is officially open for business today! We'll be having a fashion show at six o'clock later, so please make room for our models in front of the shop. Thank you all!"

Qi Bin spoke very politely, and since other people also wanted to watch the fashion show, they didn't crowd around the area in front of the shop, thus making room for the fashion show.

Many people nearby shouted, "Stop hiding it! I want to see the fashion show. It's almost six o'clock. I came here specifically to watch the fashion show."

"Yes, yes, I want to see the fashion show!"

"To be honest, I didn't even know what a fashion show was. I heard it was a group of people walking around in nice clothes."

"Really been waiting."

"To be honest, I just went into this clothing store and the clothes here are really nice, and the quality feels good. It's just that the original price is a bit expensive, but it's within an acceptable range."

Qi Bin didn't keep them in suspense any longer. After confirming with Zhao Da'e again, and with Cheng Jinxiang and the others ready, he cleared his throat and announced, "I hereby declare the fashion show open!"

Qi Bin took out a speaker and played music. As the drumbeats started, the people around him quieted down, wanting to see what this fashion show was all about.

Immediately afterwards, Cheng Jinxiang and the others, dressed in nice clothes, waited on the side. They had also put on some makeup and applied lipstick, looking very energetic.

When Cheng Jinxiang and her group of five appeared, those around them were amazed.

As fast-paced music began to play, Cheng Jinxiang went out first, walking slowly to the middle of the road. She was wearing a floral dress and carrying a small bag, exuding gentleness.

Following closely behind was Cheng Jinxiao, who wore a Hong Kong and Macau style dress, high heels, and bright red lipstick. She walked with a confident stride, looking extremely dashing.

The third was Zhou Chunwen. She was wearing sunglasses, her hair was tied in low buns on both sides, and she was wearing overalls and a pink short-sleeved shirt. She looked very beautiful.

The next two are Ke Sixin and Xia Ting, with Ke Sixin appearing first.

Wearing a long T-shirt and wide-leg pants, Ke Sixin's legs looked incredibly long. Combined with her already tall stature, she wore the outfit with a cool and rebellious vibe, drawing a lot of attention to her.

The last to appear was Xia Ting, wearing a tank top, low-waisted pants, and her hair tied in low pigtails with braids. With her hands in her pockets, she exuded a breezy aura with every step she took, looking both sweet and cool.

As soon as Xia Ting appeared, all eyes were on her.

Xia Ting's outfit could be described as novel. It would be quite common in a big city like Jinzhou, after all, Jinzhou is a coastal city that does foreign trade and is more open. But in this small county town, it is extremely rare, or perhaps people in small counties are more conservative. Although people who have been to other places have seen Xia Ting's type of clothing before, they still can't help but be surprised when they see it again.

Although it's spring now and the weather is gradually warming up, Quanshui County is still extremely hot in the summer, and wearing a tank top is very comfortable.

The store sells other styles of tank tops. Many girls were hesitant, worried that they would be criticized if they wore them out. But when they saw Xia Ting wearing one and walking in front of the public without any fear, her cool figure instantly captivated everyone. Many girls decided that they must get a tank top for summer!

This is a fashion trend!

The fashion show lasted only fifteen minutes. Qi Bin knew that the short show time might not be satisfactory, so he turned on the loudspeaker and announced, "Alright, folks, today's fashion show is over. I know some of you didn't get enough, but we promise that we will hold more fashion shows in the future for you to enjoy. To celebrate the opening of our store, we are offering a 50% discount for the first three days, and we accept returns and refunds for any problems with the clothes."

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole place erupted in an uproar, and everyone rushed into the store to look at the clothes. There weren't even enough fitting rooms in the store, and people even lined up to try on the clothes one by one.

Qi Bin raised an eyebrow when he saw this and told the customers to line up to change into the fitting room. Some people get impatient while waiting and become irritable and don't want to buy. If a customer's first experience buying clothes in the store is not good, they will not come into the store to buy clothes again.

Zhao Da'e had obviously noticed this problem as well, and quickly had Xiangzi build three simple changing rooms with cloth and wooden frames, so that they wouldn't have to keep queuing to change clothes.

The customers who were originally queuing were getting impatient, their brows furrowed.
