"It’s okay, actually it’s only busy on Saturdays and Sundays, and when there’s no class. Everyone’s in class otherwise, so who has ti to co here and browse?" Xu Nian’an reassured everyone, while adding, "Besides, once school starts, everyone will have howork. It won’t be as fresh and busy as today. Everyone still needs to keep their money for food, right?"
"Brother Xu, you think too much. Your shop doesn’t have enough products to worry about," Pei Yining said, eyeing the dazzling array of items. In her opinion, she wished she could take them all ho.
Who knew how Xu Nian’an had such a good eye for picking out things? The stuff looked especially nice, delicate, and was not expensive.
"Your school has plenty of rich kids," Pei Yining remarked coolly, rolling her eyes inwardly, "Others hope for business so booming that they don’t have a mont to rest, but you and your sister seem to hope it’s not so busy? Are you opening this shop to make money, or not?"
"Brother, Yining is right. We can’t hope for no custors; we must attract them." Xu Nianhua sat for a while before starting to write price tags again. This way, they could be directly stuck on the products or the small cabinets, allowing people to see the price at a glance without needing to ask back and forth, which also made calculating the price more convenient.
"But, whom should we recruit?" Xu Nian’an asked.
The store sold all sorts of small trinkets, and obviously, he couldn’t be there 24 hours a day, so the burden on the person they recruited would be quite heavy.
"At your school, have you spotted anyone suitable?" Xu Nianhua asked.
Xu Nianhua added, "As long as they are careful, serious, and responsible, that’s enough."
Xu Nian’an paused, then said, "There is one."
"His surna is Ban, called Ban Chuan, but his family isn’t particularly well-off, though his character is definitely good. He lives in the sa dormitory as ." Xu Nian’an ntioned Ban Chuan, endlessly praising him.
"But he also has to attend school. Does he have the ti for this?" Xu Nianhua looked at him with a puzzled face.
"He has a younger sister, Ban Lin." Xu Nian’an cleared his throat and continued, "Once I happened upon her washing dishes in a restaurant in the dead of winter because she wasn’t attending school. Her hands were frozen like that, yet she still saved things to give to Ban Chuan. I think she’s quite suitable."
"You’re not considering having both siblings work in the shop, are you?" Xu Nianhua blinked and looked at him.
"No, he needs to study, he’s so busy pouring over his books every day that he wouldn’t have ti to help sell items." Whenever Xu Nian’an ntioned this, he rembered how his dorm mates said he was obsessed with money, studying less than anyone else in the dorm.
"Well, if you’re free tomorrow, let et her," Xu Nianhua said, and added, "One person isn’t enough, we need to find at least one more."
Xu Nianhua said this while staring intently at Pei Yining.
"Why are you looking at like that?" Pei Yining felt uneasy under her gaze, swallowing nervously before saying, "Nianhua, if you have sothing to say, just say it directly. Can you not stare at like that?"
"We are strangers in this place; I don’t know whom to recruit. What about you, do you have any suitable candidates in mind?" Xu Nianhua asked with concern.
Pei Yining shook her head repeatedly, "No, the people I know are all in school, too busy to mind a shop."
"I see." Xu Nianhua felt sowhat disappointed, but her eyes soon lit up again as she looked at Xu Nian’an and said, "Brother, then let’s just hire directly. Who knows, we might just find soone."
