Gu Xingping walked over, having circled around the crowd. "Mom said you'd all be hungry by now, so she sent me to bring food."
Gu Xingping glanced at the customers queuing in front. "Third sister-in-law, go eat first. I'll help you here."
Chen Lishu was indeed hungry and didn't decline. She briefly explained her current tasks to Gu Xingping and then headed to the back with her lunchbox.
After finishing one of the meals, she called Wang Aixiang over. "Sister Aixiang, this box is for you. Zhao Xingwang and the other two can take turns going out to eat."
This way, everyone took turns eating their lunch.
After eating, Gu Xingping left with the empty lunchboxes, and Chen Lishu and the others resumed their work.
"Factory wholesale, lowest prices in the city! Pure cotton short sleeves for only five yuan and ninety!"
"Last five days, while supplies last."
...
Around 4:50 PM, sales staff from both sides of the exhibition stalls began packing up.
They were all factory employees. When the leaders were present, they would naturally put on a show of being enthusiastic. However, the leaders had only visited for a short while in the morning and had long since left. Since they didn't receive any commission based on sales volume, they just wanted to pack up early and leave as soon as the time was up.
Chen Lishu and Wang Aixiang also started packing their things.
"Da Zhu and I restocked four times today, and there were several wholesale orders. Basically, they took a hundred pieces at a time. I think we sold at least two thousand pieces."
Zhao Xingwang's eyes lit up. Despite a tiring day, seeing so many goods sold kept his spirits high.
They had taken over a total of twenty thousand pieces from Fu Hongxin. If they had to promote them one store at a time, they really didn't know how long it would take to sell them all.
Fortunately, there was the opportunity of this exhibition.
Wang Aixiang suggested, "I guess we sold at least two thousand five hundred pieces today. What do you guys guess? Whoever is furthest off has to treat everyone to a meal at the end of the exhibition."
Wang Dazhu said, "I guess two thousand."
Zhao Xingwang countered, "Two thousand is too little. Two thousand two hundred is about right."
Li Qiang chimed in, "I guess two thousand three hundred."
Wang Aixiang turned to Chen Lishu, "Sister, you guess too."
Chen Lishu pursed her lips and smiled, "I'll just be responsible for the money."
Wang Aixiang disagreed, "That won't do. We agreed everyone participates. Hurry up and give us a number."
Chen Lishu thought for a moment and said, "I guess two thousand one hundred."
Soon, they returned to the store. The first floor was still open. After greeting Tian Lin, they headed upstairs together.
After Chen Lishu took off her shoulder bag, she poured all the money inside onto the table. The colorful bills instantly covered the entire surface.
Although the store's daily turnover was not small, such a large pile of money had a significant visual impact.
Wang Aixiang suggested, "How about we divide it? One person counts the ten-yuan bills, then another counts the five-yuan bills, and so on. This will make organizing easier."
Everyone nodded and started counting.
"Ten, twenty, thirty..."
"Five, ten, fifteen..."
...
"I have a total of four thousand six hundred and thirty yuan," Wang Aixiang reported first. She then used the prepared rubber bands to tie her money into bundles of one hundred.
Zhao Xingwang looked up, "Mine is five thousand five hundred and sixty-five."
Li Qiang began, "Mine is..."
After a while, looking at the summarized figures, everyone was too astonished to close their mouths.
The total was 15,121.7 yuan!
The turnover for just one day exceeded fifteen thousand!
Chen Lishu added, "Some of these were wholesale or gifts. If we count everything, it should be over two thousand six hundred pieces."
"We sold over two thousand six hundred pieces in a day?!" Li Qiang's voice trembled with excitement.
Chen Lishu was also very happy and smiled, "This is only the first day. Tomorrow is Sunday, and there will definitely be more people at the exhibition. Let's keep up the good work. At this rate, selling all twenty thousand pieces in five days should not be a problem."
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Tian Lin's voice from downstairs, "Sister Chen, brother-in-law is here to pick you up."
Chen Lishu put all the money back into her shoulder bag. She then took out five ten-yuan bills and handed them to Zhao Xingwang. "You and Da Zhu, the three of you, go out and eat something good later. But remember, no drinking and no slacking off."
"Thank you, boss." "Thank you, sister-in-law."
The three happily accepted the money and said in unison.
Chen Lishu turned to Wang Aixiang and said, "Sister Aixiang, why don't you come with me? Xingdong is probably driving. He can take you home first."
Hearing this, Wang Aixiang immediately grabbed her shoulder bag and followed her downstairs.
"Did you come from the company or from home?" Chen Lishu asked Gu Xingdong as she approached him.
Gu Xingdong replied, "I came straight from the company. You must be exhausted today, right?"
Chen Lishu nodded. "Absolutely. Fortunately, Xingping came to deliver food at noon and even helped me sell some goods. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't have had time to eat lunch. But the results were good too. Guess how much I sold today?"
They walked out together as they spoke.
After dropping Wang Aixiang home, the couple went home together.
"Mommy, Mommy..." The two little ones hadn't seen their mother all day. As soon as they spotted Chen Lishu, they stretched out their little hands wanting to be held.
"Mommy is really tired today. Daddy, hold them," Gu Xingdong walked over and, from Gu Xingping and Zhao Qiuyue, lifted both little ones at the same time, one from each side.
Gu Xingdong usually played with the two little ones, especially Feifei and "Lift High High." The two little ones immediately forgot about looking for their mother and happily clapped their little hands and giggled.
Li Xiulan looked at Chen Lishu. "You must be exhausted today. Xingping told me many people were buying things. The food is ready. Go sit down and rest for a while. We'll start eating soon."
Chen Lishu was indeed quite tired. She washed her hands first and then sat down at the table.
Gu Xingping said, "Third sister-in-law, tomorrow is Sunday, and there will definitely be more people. I've already spoken with Liyuan, and we'll both come to help tomorrow so you can have an easier time."
"Thank you, little sister." Chen Lishu felt deeply touched by the support from her family.
Not only Gu Xingdong but also Li Xiulan never complained when helping to look after the children. It was precisely because she had no worries that she could devote herself entirely to her career.
"Third sister-in-law, you're being too formal. We're family, no need to say thank you. I think the short sleeves you're selling look great. Just give me two."
As soon as Gu Xingping finished speaking, Li Xiulan smacked the back of her head. "If you do some work, you get some interest. One is enough. Asking for two at once, do you think your third sister-in-law's clothes are blown in by the wind, given away so easily?"
"Mom, you can hit my fourth brother, but why are you hitting me? Besides, with the relationship between my third sister-in-law and me, she wouldn't even take money if I offered, right, third sister-in-law?" Gu Xingping said, winking at Chen Lishu.
Chen Lishu smiled, "That's not necessarily true."
