Su Xiaoxiao’s mouth twitched slightly; she really did ask the right person.
However, in front of so many people, she couldn’t openly admit that the person selling mini electric sewing machines was her.
She coughed lightly and said, "This thing is a bit smaller than the ones used in factories, so I guess it will be a bit cheaper."
As soon as everyone heard this, they beca interested and started discussing.
"I wonder how much it costs for one. If it really exists, I’d like to buy one too."
"Exactly, it’s compact and light, plus it’s electric. It must consu less power than a large sewing machine."
"If it really exists, you’d probably have to go to an Overseas Chinese store to buy it, and you’d need an Overseas Remittance Coupon."
Then soone ntioned that if an Overseas Remittance Coupon was required, many people imdiately lost interest.
Money can be saved up with effort, but obtaining an Overseas Remittance Coupon is no easy task.
After discussing for a while without reaching a conclusion, everyone went back to their counters to continue working.
Su Xiaoxiao and a few others also returned to the conference room upstairs to continue discussing their performance plans.
Zhang Yulan was very interested in Su Xiaoxiao’s magic performance, "Xiaoxiao, how do you plan to perform this magic act?"
This question stumped Su Xiaoxiao. She had just thought of using the magic act in the small space of the warehouse but hadn’t considered it thoroughly.
This was the departnt store’s party, so the the should naturally revolve around the departnt store.
In past years, the shows mostly showcased the spirit and deanor of the salespeople. This could indeed be combined with that.
Su Xiaoxiao thought for a while and suddenly ca up with a great idea.
"We can try combining magic with a sitcom."
Qin Shuang asked curiously, "How would that work? It sounds quite interesting."
However, these two things seed unrelated, so combining them was indeed a challenge.
Su Xiaoxiao thought for a mont and said, "I have an idea. I would start with a magic act, using magic to reveal the props needed for the sitcom. Then, two people would co on stage as salespeople to show off the elegance of our sales staff. Finally, the remaining people would act as custors, demonstrating how our sales staff respond to different custors."
"In our city, there are over thirty departnt stores, and if each one prepares a show, there’ll be more than thirty shows. If our performance is scheduled later, opening with a magic act could really pique the audience’s curiosity."
Qian Xiaoyan was imdiately interested when she heard this, "Sounds great, I like this idea, I support it."
Zhang Yulan nodded in agreent, "It’s quite creative."
Zhang Guoqing, the only man among them, nodded with gentlemanly grace, "I agree too. By the ti we perform, the audience will be tired of the traditional shows like poetry recitals and skits."
Only Zhang Dongi snorted dismissively, "Sounds impressive. I think you just want to show off. If you perform like this, won’t all the attention be on you?"
"What’s so special about a magic act? By the ti you’re done, there’ll be nothing left for us. Why do we even need to go on stage?"
Qin Shuang frowned, "Mr. Zhang, that’s not fair. It’s not like only Comrade Su will get the spotlight. Our sitcom can be just as spectacular if perford well. If you have issues, why not do a solo act? Anyway, there’s no limit on the number of acts."
Zhang Dongi glared angrily, "Fine, I’ll do a solo act. When I impress the leaders, don’t be jealous."
With that, she picked up her bag and said, "You guys take your ti practicing; I’m not participating."
Since she planned to perform solo, why should she stay and watch Su Xiaoxiao show off?
She imdiately picked up her bag and made to leave, hoping they’d ask her to stay, which she might consider.
She deliberately slowed down her pace as she walked out, but even as she reached the door, no one asked her to stay.
Zhang Dongi felt even more upset inside. Why did everyone side with Su Xiaoxiao? Was she really worse than her?
Frustrated, she kicked the door fra, not knowing where she hit, sending a sharp pain through her foot.
But not wanting others to laugh at her, she gritted her teeth and limped out.
Inwardly, she vowed to prepare well and outshine everyone else.
Once she left, Su Xiaoxiao cleared her throat and said, "I was just making a suggestion. If anyone has other ideas, feel free to share them so we can discuss. We’re a team, and deciding on what performance we should do needs everyone’s input."
Qian Xiaoyan said, "I’m just here for fun and don’t want to think too hard. Comrade Su, I’ll follow your lead and do whatever you say."
Zhang Yulan chid in, "Xiaoxiao, I think your idea is great, and I’ll follow your lead too."
There’s no need to ntion Qin Shuang; she’s always been Su Xiaoxiao’s little fan, supporting whatever Su Xiaoxiao says with both hands and feet.
The three of them all looked at Zhang Guoqing, the only one yet to express his opinion.
eting their gazes, Zhang Guoqing imdiately nodded, afraid to be excluded.
"I agree with what Comrade Su said."
Initially, he didn’t really want to participate in this performance, feeling forced into it.
Having soone else plan and him only needing to execute was just perfect for him.
Su Xiaoxiao said, "Since no one has any objections, let’s start rehearsing."
Without any dissent, everyone was enthusiastic and imdiately got to work.
Busy tis always fly by, and before they knew it, it was ti to clock out.
As usual, Qin Shuang and Zhang Yulan left work with Su Xiaoxiao.
The three chatted as they walked.
Zhang Yulan said, "I wonder where we can buy that mini electric sewing machine? It would be quite prestigious to have one at ho."
Her family had many children, and to save money, she often bought fabric to make clothes herself.
But without a sewing machine at ho, she always had to spend money to have others make clothes.
Lately, she had saved enough money and was planning to buy a sewing machine.
It would be even better if she could buy an electric one directly.
Qin Shuang also chid in, "Indeed, it sounds so advanced. I wonder if it’s a dostic product."
Su Xiaoxiao, who had a good relationship with both, heard their discussion and, touching her nose, said, "Actually, I have a friend who works at a sewing machine factory. He said there’s indeed a mini electric sewing machine that was just developed, but it hasn’t hit the market yet."
