Chapter 100: First Customers (3)
“Yingying, go wipe down the glass. Xiuxiu, help me to move these two dummies over there.” Most of the clothes had already been organized and the store looked much different than how it was before.
Shu Yan specifically had the dummies made by a factory. She even put makeup and wigs on them. With the clothes on them and under the canned lights, the two dummies appeared to be sparkle and the entire shop looked much classier.
“The clothes here look pretty good. That dress is so pretty. And that suit looks nice too.” One of the two women walking down the streets holding hands pointed at the set on the dummy and said in a low voice.
“It does look nice. Let’s go inside and check it out,” said the other slightly chubbier girl.
The two saw them hanging up clothes on the inside and asked Shu Yan, who was standing to one side, “You are not open yet?”
“We will have a grand opening day after tomorrow. We will have a lot of promotions then. Here’s a flyer. Take a look.” Shu Yan put down the clothes in her hands and handed them two flyers. “Even though the grand opening is the day after tomorrow, if you like anything today, I will give you the promotional discount as well.”
“You will give us a discount today?”
“Of course,” said Shu Yan as she took them over to where the clothes were already hung up. “Are you looking for tops or dresses? I can help you mix and match.”
Shu Yan had been doing her burpees, eating less during dinner, and no food after dinner and had already lost 5 kg. She had looked for a place to specifically weight herself a couple of days ago and she now weighs 66 kg. At her height of 158 cm, she was still fat but much less than when she had first transmigrated. Now she could put on a large size dress from her shop and not seem ugly and out of style. With some light makeup and the confidence radiating from her, the two girls didn’t mind her.
“I want to look for a dress for the fall. Something a little thicker that I can also wear in the winter with just a jacket,” said the girl with light colored skin.
“I want to buy something a little more formal that is good for gatherings or dinners,” said the girl who was just a little skinnier than Shu Yan. “And this one that you have on. Can I try it on as well?”
The light skinned girl has a good body and it was easy to find clothes for her. Shu Yan showed her a light-colored knitted dress and said, “What do you think of this one? Your skin is very light colored. With this plus your skin color, all you need to do is to add a red or black jacket in the winter time. When you are home and take the jacket off, the inside is pretty also.”
“Will this be a bit warm for the weather right now?” The light skinned woman was a bit hesitant.
“It’s already almost October and the weather will be cooling down soon. You will be able to wear this probably next month. Any colder, you can just add a light jacket. A thicker one for the winter. It’s easy to mix and match.” Shu Yan pulled over a windbreaker and placed it over the dress. “Look. Doesn’t it look good with this beige windbreaker? Or you can go with a jean jacket to look more Western. As for the winter…” Shu Yan pulled over a white padded jacket. “Doesn’t this look classy?”
The light-skinned woman’s eyes beamed at all of them. “Can I try them all on?”
“Of course. Xuixiu, can you show her the changing room?” Shu Yan hollered at Xiuxiu to take the customer over to try the clothes on.
“Um, I like those that you’ve just shown her too,” said the chubbier girl after her friend had walked away.
“If you two go out together a lot, you wouldn’t want to accidentally have on the same set.” What Shu Yan didn’t say was that a knitted dress would not look good on a chubbier girl like her. It’d only accentuate all her bad sides. Shu Yan pulled over a suit jacket set. “Give this one a try. You can wear it to work or to dinner. For gatherings, you can try this set that I have on right now. I’ll go get you a new one.”
