Chapter 94 Provoked a Whole Body of Trouble
On the way home after dinner, Ning Qingmin pulled her mother and said: "Mom, Su Shu's temper seems to be okay, eating a meal for several thousand yuan, he didn't even blink.
”
It's said that after he divorced his ex-wife, in order to avoid painful memories, he rented out the big house they used to live in and moved into this small district. Recently, the government reclaimed the land where the big house was located to build a highway, so since he had bought the land before, the government compensated him with a lot of money, which is also a considerable savings. Ning's mom smiled and said: "Moreover, now that he's single again and doesn't have many places to spend his money, his financial situation is naturally quite good."
Ning Qing nodded slightly, completely putting her mind at ease. At middle age, what she sought was stability. Su Luo was a warm and gentle person, and with economic security to boot. If mom followed him, both she and her mother would be at peace.
While talking, they arrived at the door. Ning Qing felt lazy to take out the key and pressed the doorbell to let Zhang Yu come and open the door.
The next day, Ning Qingming thought that she had also rested for several days and hurriedly followed Zhang Yu to open the store. First, they went to the first floor to take a look and asked Zhang Ruili to change the positions of some new style samples. The off-season was almost over, so they needed to redecorate again. They had already contacted the venue for the autumn clothing launch conference, and some preparations also needed to be made.
Busy, heard Zheng Mei was loudly scolding Zheng Jingchun and her sister, "I went on a trip to the countryside and came back, you still haven't received a single order, all you know is to dress up in front of the mirror every day, not thinking at all about how to deal with no business."
"It's off-season now, what can we do?" Jingchun, who was scolded, flared up and retorted: "No business, are you asking us to sell ourselves to attract customers for you?"
"You're selling yourself, but unfortunately, you're like this, and I'm afraid no one wants you." Zheng Mei had long been jealous of Ning Qing's ability to get orders even in the off-season, and said sarcastically: "It's best to learn from others how to be elegant and refined all the time, and when the critical moment comes, take off your glasses and reveal a pair of enchanting eyes that can make people die for you. What can't be done?"
"What's that supposed to mean?" Zhang Rui Li was sampling, heard Zheng Mei say something across the way, jumped down from her chair and was about to rush out to argue with Zheng Mei, huffing and puffing said: "If you don't have business yourself, then you can't stand others having business, what kind of thing is this to say?"
"Mind your own business!" Ning Qingmin sat at her desk, looking at the account book. Without lifting her head, she said: "If we pay attention to what others say all day, we won't be able to do business. We produce so many samples every month and have so much merchandise. Are we not doing honest business with our clients? People with discerning eyes can see clearly. There's no need to explain anything. Some people are jealous of us and speak carelessly. It's not necessary for you to go argue with her, it's a waste of time."
Sun Wu was helping with the goods. He also whispered: "The boss opposite, I think she's going through menopause early, what's the point of arguing with her?"
"Haha......" Ning Qingmin and Zhang Ruili couldn't help but laugh. "Her two nieces said they didn't have any business, no salary, not even pocket money. They had to report everything they bought."
"Although she's my aunt, this is going too far." Zhang Ruili whispered: "Jingchun told me. She once complained that she didn't get paid and was severely scolded by Zheng Mei. She said she wasn't given a salary to help her save it, and would give it to her all at once in the future!"
"Mind your own business." Ning Qingmin looked up to see that the shouting from across had stopped. It turned out that a customer had come in to look at samples and was about to speak when he stretched his waist. Suddenly, a strong smell of body odor wafted in through his nose. He couldn't care about anything else and hastily told Sun Wu, "Quickly close the glass door."
Sun Wu is at the door. He casually pulls up the door and asks in surprise: "Boss, it's not easy to have customers passing by, why do you want to close the door?"
"You haven't seen them wearing white robes and headscarves? They're Pakistanis, they don't take showers for many days. Although we have air conditioning here, it's not ventilated, so in the summer, their smell lingers for many days after they leave. We've calculated that if other customers who are afraid of this smell also don't come in, it's better to keep the air fresh." Ning Qingming looked through the glass door and saw the Pakistanis squeezing into the opposite room, smiling as she said: "Pakistan has been at war for many years and is very poor. If they place an order, it's always for cheap goods, and they often want immediate delivery while haggling fiercely over prices. The products we're making now are mid-to-high-end, so even if we let them in, we definitely won't be able to make a deal. It's better to keep the air fresh." She covered her mouth as she laughed.
After a while, the customer who was looking at samples in the opposite store fled in a hurry, seemingly overwhelmed by the stench. Not long after, those Pakistanis also came out and went to the other side.
When Zhang Rui opened the door, she just saw Zheng Mei covering her nose and coming out of the door to breathe. She turned back to her two nieces and said: "Quickly go buy two boxes of air freshener to spray, mom, it's too smelly."
Zheng Jingchun and Zheng Jingxia also covered their noses and came out, one rushed to buy air freshener, the other rushed to the toilet to wash her hands.
The boss next door also came out, hehe smiled and said: "Those Pakistanis, they don't wash their hands after using the toilet. I saw them fill a plastic cup with water at the faucet before going in, and when they came out, they took that cup of water away with them, without washing their hands at all. Things they've touched are probably super contaminated."
Zheng Mei's face changed, she rushed in to grab a tissue and wiped her hands hard, then took out a stiff paper and fanned herself wildly, saying: "Didn't get the order, got a whole body of trouble, so unlucky."
"Haha......" Sun Wu and Zhang Ruili laughed inside the door, and said to Ning Qingming: "Boss, it's good that we closed the door just now, or else we would have gotten into trouble too."
Ning Qing smiled faintly, stood up and poured a glass of water from the water dispenser to drink. He said to Sun Wu and Zhang Ruili: "When doing business outside, you need to be discerning about people. Some customers may not have the intention of placing an order, they just want to take a look, but we still need to treat them well. If some products are clearly not our type, then there's no need to waste effort. This is not being petty, it's just business logic. The products we're currently making are highly targeted and positioned in the mid-to-high-end market. We have to give up on clients who are looking for low-end products. To be honest, there are many clients who look for low-end products and they do come in large numbers, but unfortunately, the profit margin is low, and it's hard to guarantee quality with low-end products, nor can we easily build a reputation. With our current capabilities, we can't cater to the low-end market, so we have to choose one side that is beneficial to us."
Sun Wu and Zhang Ruili nodded in agreement, both smiling and saying: "Boss, we all thought you majored in Enterprise Management instead of Chinese Literature, what you said makes so much sense."
"Speaking of which, a new semester is about to start, and I have to take the course in Enterprise Management." Ning Qing said with a smile.
