Transmigrated into a Parvenu's Ex-wife in the '90s

Chapter 201 - Becoming a shareholder (3)

Shu Yan had recommended Chen Fei to be the designer when they were going to remodel their direct-sale storefront.

“Of course that will be fine. I am not going to turn down volunteer work. Have you found a store manager yet?” As a direct-sale retail shop, they’d for sure need a store manager. Shu Yan, as the president of the company, couldn’t possibly be there to hold down the fort herself.

“I have a few candidates but haven’t decided on one yet. They will be over in two day. You want to come and put in your two cents’ worth?” said Hu Ruixue as she looked at Shu Yan.

“We’ll see.”

During the preparation stage of the company, there was a lot to get done but not overly business. As least Shu Yan didn’t feel that there was a lot for her to do, so she went over to her own shop.

Ever since her talking to Zhang Huaxiu last time, Zhang Huaxiu had changed a lot. She would take care of minor stuff entirely on her own but would consult Shu Yan on other ones. She has a very good gauge on that now.

A customer came over to return some merchandises yesterday and Zhang Huaxiu handled it beautifully. Shu Yan felt that even though Zhang Huaxiu was not quite there yet but she could be a good store manager for her shop.

“How you doing? Tired?”

“No.” Zhang Huaxiu shook her head and asked, “Boss Lady, is the shop across the street yours too?”

“Not all mine. I partnered up with a friend. What’s up?” ask Shu Yan curiously.

Zhang Huaxiu hesitated for a little bit and said, “Well, the factory that my parents are working at is not doing too well and they might be let go soon. My old brother is the only one working right now and the pressure is high. My mom’s idea is to have my sister-in-law open up a boutique on Fujian Street.”

“That’s not a bad idea. Fujian Street is right next to the university town. The few boutiques that they have over there only sell some very basic styles. I think a mid- to high-end shop that sell prettier and more fashionable clothes should be able to draw a lot of business.” Shu Yan felt that opening up a shop there would at least be better than being a stay-at-home housewife.

“That’s what I thought too but my sister-in-law worries that she won’t make a profit and is still mulling over it. She had wanted to ask for some tips from you but she was shy because she’s opening up the same kind of store as you,” said Zhang Huaxiu half-jokingly.

“That is perfectly fine. One’s on Fujian Street and one’s on West City Nan Road. There’s quite a bit of distance between the two. I think it’s great that your sister-in-law will open her new shop. You are quite experienced now and you can help her out as well.”

“Oh, I am not looking to leave here. I am quite happy where I am,” Xiuxiu expressed herself quickly.

Shu Yan paused. “And I didn’t say I’ll let you go either. I just mean that if your sister-in-law has her own shop, you can help her out during your time off. I have spent so much time training you, I will cry if you leave now.” Shu Yan, too, joked.

Zhang Huaxiu had truly learned a lot there, such as promotion planning, clothes matching. Once those two were done well, as long as the clothes were pretty and the pricing reasonable, business should not be an issue.

“Yeah, I’ll help her out as much as I can during my time off.” Zhang Huaxiu’s little heart almost skipped a beat. She worried that Shu Yan would spot something.

She had such a guilty conscience because her mother had a talk with her last night. Something about she has the experiences and it was better to be her own boss than working for someone else. She had turned her mother down at the time.

Shu Yan was the one who trained her up and had always been nice to her. She couldn’t just take off right after she had learned the ropes. Never mind about anything else, she’d feel very guilty about it.

This was, after all, her sister-in-law that they were talking about, not even her own siblings. Zhang Huaxiu felt that it was best that they didn’t partner up. It would be fine to help her out from time to time. If they really worked together and had some sort of conflicts, it’d put her parents in a very bad spot.

Besides, she was making very good money right now. There was no guarantee that she’d make more working in a shop on Fujian Street.

“Okay. You can figure that out. There’s something else that I want to talk to you about.”
