Chapter 1541: Chapter 1538: Gathering Information
“Not indebted to anyone, why not? You don't allow me, as the head of the family, to do good deeds and set the price lower?”
Young Master Zhao listened and felt even more annoyed. The business at their own shop had been bleak recently due to the opening of this Yonghe Clothing Store.
Originally, during the New Year, ordinary people would buy plenty of clothes, making it the best time for business.
Unexpectedly, not only was business bad this year, but Zhao's Clothing Store was even more dismal, incomparable to previous times.
Upon investigation, it was discovered that a newly opened shop was stealing their business.
He was impatient, originally coming to probe the situation, hoping perhaps to squeeze this shop out of business.
With these thoughts in mind, he came to investigate, but as soon as he spoke, he was embarrassed.
However, Young Master Zhao was not too foolish, knowing that the capital harbors influential figures; perhaps even an inconspicuous store might have formidable patrons behind it.
He tried to squeeze out a smile: “Shopkeeper, I apologize, I was just curious.”
“I'll continue to wait in line now.”
Zhang Hai knew what his intentions were and planned to send someone back to inform the lady later.
The trouble outside was curbed, Zhang Hai was very busy.
He turned around and went into the shop to sell clothes.
Most of the buyers came for cotton or linen clothes, which were only appealing to ordinary families. Due to limited stock, sales were quick, and once all the clothes in the shop were sold out, those who had waited in line for a long time but did not get served remained outside, pestering the shopkeeper to see if they could reserve, unwilling to leave.
Ye Muyu looked at the sky, noticing how the thick snow had fallen again on the ground that had been swept in the morning; many who came to buy clothes wiped their heads, dejected, and turned back.
Ye Muyu said: “Chun Xing, go tell Shopkeeper Zhang that starting tomorrow, the number of items sold daily will increase to a hundred.”
“Alright.” Chun Xing had long wanted to go down and see, and now with the lady's permission, she eagerly ran off.
Soon, Chun Xing was inside the shop.
Zhang Hai, having just managed to get the customers to leave, sat down to sip a cup of tea when he saw Chun Xing and immediately stood up straight: “Miss Chun Xing? Why are you here?”
“I've been watching from outside.” Chun Xing giggled, waved at him, and when Zhang Hai drew near, she conveyed the task she came for.
Zhang Hai was quite surprised to hear this, “Miss Chun Xing, why did the lady suddenly decide to increase the quantity?”
Chun Xing laughed, hands on hips, proudly said: “Of course, it's because the lady is kind-hearted and doing good deeds. Just now, the lady saw those poor dressed folk and decided to increase the number of cotton clothes for sale.”
“I see.” Zhang Hai found it surprising but not unexpected, “Good deeds bring rewards, no wonder the lady finds peace and happiness.”
“You're quite right.”
Beside him, Zhang Yunlin listened, with disbelief flickering in his eyes; he had always thought that rich families, to indulge in luxurious, hedonistic lives would spare no effort to strip the populace of their livelihood.
Could it be that the Chu family was intentionally displaying this in front of him?
Chun Xing patted Zhang Hai's shoulder, “Shopkeeper Zhang, just make sure to manage the business and clothes well, after all, there's no fear of not having customers to buy them; it's quite a trouble-free job.”
Zhang Hai nodded, “Indeed, it is a trouble-free job.”
“Miss Chun Xing, are you in a hurry to return to the residence? Would you like to stay and have a meal?”
