Chapter 111 - Drawing (1)

When Shu Yan arrived at the shop, Zhang Huaxiu and Yingying had already arrived. The two of them were truly hardworking. Their work hours started at 9 AM, but they always arrived at 8 AM. During the last two days, they were even coming at 7 AM to help organize the clothes. She must give them bonuses when she pays them next month.

It was always a two-way street between bosses and employees. Shu Yan was an employee in the past and understood the sadness associated with not being appreciated. Now that she was an employer herself, she felt that compensations should be merit based and good employees should be rewarded accordingly.

“Xiuxiu, go check and see how many more windbreakers we have left in storage then take a look to see which styles, colors, and sizes were the top selling ones.” Shu Yan put down her purse and counted out 200 yuan of change for the cash register before she started booking the entries for yesterday.

Now that she has two formal employees at her shop, Shu Yan was mostly responsible for working the cash register. She would only hand over the responsibilities to Zhang Huaxiu when she has to step out. As she was going to pay the two of them commissions for the amount of sales they have done, Shu Yan needed a detailed record of all of the receipts. She didn’t want any confusion at the end of the month.

“I just checked. This beige windbreaker is the most popular. We only have a small and a large one left. The second best is this pink one and this pair of pants are doing quite well also, medium is the size that is going the faster. For the black coat, the large size goes the fastest. I had written them all down in this notebook,” said Zhang Huaxiu as she handed a notebook over to Shu Yan. All the styles and sizes were clearly listed in there.

Zhang Huaxiu was very detail oriented; Shu Yan only took a look and didn’t bother going into the storage. She put the notebook into her purse. “You take over for the morning. I am going to pick up some more merchandise from the train station. I will be gone for two hours at the most. And…” Shu Yan waved for Xiuxiu to come closer and whispered to her, “Put the special prize into the balloon and put it in an obscure spot up top.”

“You want to put the special prize up today?” What would it be like if someone won the television?

The special prize was a 21” television that was over 2,000 yuan in value. Shu Yan didn’t even add it in the first two days, just in case. A television that was over 2,000 yuan; if it was drawn within the first two days, what would they use as a draw afterward? Today was already the third day. If it was drawn, it would bring about another round of gimmick. If not, they could always give it to a customer on day five or six. One way or another, Shu Yan did not plan to keep the television. Her intention was truly to give it away.

“Go ahead. It will be fine. And put the first prize balloon somewhere easy to get to. It’s been a few days; we need some decent prizes for excitement.” Having said that, Shu Yan left with her purse in tow.

Back then, there were very few taxis on the street and they were difficult to find. It was very inconvenient not having her own car for her business. Shu Yan knew how to drive, but the original owner certainly did not. She’d need to take some time out to get herself a driver’s license, so she could buy a second hand truck. That ought to make life much easier.

Shu Yan ordered quite a bit this time, and she couldn’t carry them back all on her own. Luckily, the shipment station has delivery services; it was just a matter of paying them a little extra.
