When Xia Wan was around, she felt more at ease. When she was alone, Yan Han was always a little lacking in confidence.
Xia Wan thought about it and found it reasonable.
There were many customers in the shop today, which was completely beyond her expectations.
After contemplating for a moment, Xia Wan said, “Right now, Sister Liu Sha has nothing else to do except helping me with my lessons every day. How about this? I’ll let her help us look after the shop and handle the usual accounts.”
“Sister Liu Sha will be here for about a month, during which we should find a suitable shop a.s.sistant.”
Upon hearing Xia Wan’s proposal, Yan Han felt relieved.
“What are the requirements?” asked Xia Hai. “Tell us first, and we’ll jot them down.”
Yan Han also inquired, “How much salary does the shop a.s.sistant need to receive each month?”
Considering the prevailing economic conditions, Xia Wan responded, “It would be best if the shop a.s.sistant we’re seeking is a young girl who is capable in mathematics. Education-wise, a junior high school degree or above would be preferable.”
“If the shop a.s.sistant appears unfriendly, customers might lose their inclination to purchase upon seeing her.”
“As for her remuneration, a base salary of 200 yuan, plus an additional 50 yuan for full-time work.”
“We can provide her with four days of leave every month, and as long as she doesn’t take any leave, we will grant an additional 50 yuan for perfect attendance. ”
“Additionally, offer her a commission of two yuan for every piece of clothing she sells.”
Feeling that one shop a.s.sistant might not suffice, Xia Wan suggested, “How about hiring another person specifically for accounting? Her role would involve handling transactions at the counter. She’d receive a fixed monthly salary of
200 yuan, along with the 50 yuan attendance bonus, but no commission.”
“Our shop isn’t overly strict. When customer flow is light, she can sit and rest.
However, during busy periods, she should stand to a.s.sist customers with their payments.”
Yan Han’s initial reaction upon learning they were hiring two shop a.s.sistants was a pang of financial strain.
The combined basic salary for these two a.s.sistants amounted to 500 yuan per month.
Nevertheless, compared to the expenses for their three children’s education, 500 yuan seemed minor.
Ultimately, Yan Han clenched his teeth and consented, “Alright, let’s follow Wanwan’s plan.”
The next day at school, Xia Wan didn’t arrive early. As she entered, she overheard her female cla.s.smates conversing in hushed tones.
“Did you notice? Zhao Yu from Cla.s.s 6 was wearing a new outfit. She looked amazing. The yellow hair clip matched her dress perfectly, making her appear so fair.”
“I saw that too. I even asked her where she got it. She mentioned a new clothing store. She availed a 20% discount when purchasing three items yesterday. I wonder if the discount continues today.”
Listening to their chatter, Xia Wan found it oddly familiar.
Could the Zhao Yu they were talking about be the same girl who had bought three pieces of clothing from her yesterday?
Although suspicions arose, Xia Wan refrained from joining the conversation. Calmly seated at her desk, she opened her textbook to prepare for the day’s lessons.
Approaching Xia Wan, Song Zhi intentionally remarked, “Weren’t you selling clothes before? A new clothing store has opened in our county. It’s quite large and boasts high-quality attire. Why not go and have a look?”
“Considering your extensive experience in selling clothes, you could suggest a few sets for us.”
Song Zhi smiled as she spoke, but her words carried an underlying implication. She seemed to be treating Xia Wan as a salesperson for clothing.
Looking up at her with a cold expression, Xia Wan responded, “It’s your choice whether to buy clothes. No need to involve me. I’m quite occupied and don’t have time to go shopping with you.”
Song Zhi was taken aback by Xia Wan’s gaze. After a moment, she retorted indignantly, “What’s with your att.i.tude? I only invited you to accompany us for shopping. Why are you taking your frustrations out on me?”
“Could it be that the new shop has better quality clothes than yours? It’s attracting more customers, making you jealous and bitter, which is why you’re venting on me?”
With every word, Song Zhi’s voice grew louder and more a.s.sertive..
