Chapter 85 - Merchandising (2)
The next day was the weekend. Shu Yan went to check on the progress of the new house’s remodeling. The patio and the bathrooms were done, and the closets were close to completion. The foreman told her that at the current rate, they would be able to move in after the new year.
That might be what he said, but Shu Yan didn’t plan on moving in so quickly. The house needed to be aired out for at least over three months, maybe even six. There’s no rush; safety is more important.
“Boss Lady, you want to keep this wall as is, right?”
“That’s correct. I am going to make a photo wall out of it and mark my kids’ height on the corner. Let’s just forego the original design,” said Shu Yan as she nodded.
There were three rooms in the house. Shu Yan, naturally, would take the master bedroom. The second bedroom with the patio would be her daughter’s, and the smallest room would be her son’s. Girls have a lot of stuff and need a bigger room. She could also plant some flowers or whatnot on the patio. A boy only needed a place to sleep.
The remodeling for her house was not the same as it was for her shop. She was going to live here. She picked the best material and was very detailed every step of the way. The shop was a rental and mediocre materials would be fine. The glass wall and the two fitting rooms, which were the most complicated parts of the project, have already commenced.
Now that she had Zhang Huaxiu’s help in watching over the shop, she’d need to start looking into bringing in merchandise. Tomorrow was the weekend. Shu Yan took the day off from the tutorial center for the two children, bought some food for the house, and told Ye Jingjing to take good care of her brother. She needed to go to City Han for merchandising at 10 PM.
She was going to go in a private car along with a few other owners from the other boutiques on West City Nan Road. Shu Yan was surprised when the owner next door to her extended the invitation to her. They were, after all, competitors. She hadn’t expected that she’d come and ask her.
It was more a timing thing. They had always been going with the original boss lady, and they have been having a hard time finding a fourth person to fill her spot. With just the three of them, the car would be costly. It wasn’t like they could stop Shu Yan from bringing in merchandise, so they might as well go together to save on the cost of the car.
“Shu Yan, what do you plan on selling out of your store? I think kids’ clothing are great, or maybe something for school kids. I am sure demand for those are high,” said Le, the boss lady next door to Shu Yan as soon as they got inside the car.
“Exactly, there’s no stores on your street gearing toward students, right? I am sure you will make a lot of money doing that,” said Zhu Hong, an owner of a kid’s clothing shop over on Jiufang Alley. She wasn’t a competitor of theirs, so she came across as being very sincere.
“I agree.” Fan Xiaomei chimed in. Her main business line was male clothing, so she was also not a competitor if Shu Yan followed her advice.
Shu Yan smiled and said, “I am not sure yet. Perhaps I will take a look once we get there before I decide.”
