People in the alley: A woman dressed as a man shouldn't be foolishly filial, Zhuang Chaoying

Chapter 371 Their First Pot of Gold: Selling Plastic Bags

Another customer squeezed through, shouting eagerly, "Give me a rice cooker too!"

A window air conditioner costs 1,200 yuan, a rice cooker costs 499 yuan... Despite the high prices, the purchasing power of Suzhou residents is astonishing.

Before noon, a truckload of goods was sold out. Xiangyang quickly called the factory, and a restocking truck arrived and busily replenished the booth.

,

To Zhuang Chaoying's surprise, A-Ling and Song Ying cooperated quite well.

The two pretended to be strangers, singing and dancing in harmony, attracting a growing crowd and keeping those who came to watch in a daze.

Since ancient times, routines have won people's hearts; without a few clever tricks, the atmosphere just won't be right.

As the trade fair drew to a close, everyone was a little tired after a busy day.

That evening, Director An hosted a banquet at Deyuelou Restaurant.

After leaving Deyuelou, Anhe said a few words to Xiangyang and walked over to them.

"Lin Gong, Chao Ying, let's continue tomorrow." As he spoke, An He turned his gaze to Song Ying and Huang Ling.

We were at Deyuelou earlier, and there were too many people talking, so it was hard to discuss this kind of thing. Now that we've finished eating, a few of us are standing on the street.

Anhe gave them both a thumbs up. "It's a real shame that you two aren't actors. The atmosphere at our booth today wouldn't have been possible without you two. Your teamwork was absolutely perfect."

Song Ying linked arms with Sister Ling, exchanged a glance with her, and burst out laughing. "Director An, I was quite nervous at the time, afraid of bursting out laughing. Luckily, Sister Ling's expression was quite serious, constantly reminding me to get into character."

Huang Ling laughed so hard she almost fell over. "I kept pinching my thigh with my other hand the whole time, just in case I couldn't help myself. As long as it works, that's good. No wonder there are shills for everything, it really works. Especially when Song Ying said she was going to raise the price, the onlookers were practically throwing money at her, hahaha."

Zhuang Chaoying looked at Huang Ling with affection and shook her head with a smile. "I know you two are amazing, you work well together. Director An, we'll head back now, it's getting late, there's a trade fair tomorrow."

Lin carefully put the helmet on Song Ying's head. "Director An, we'll be going now."

Anhe waved to them. "You guys go first, Xiangyang and the others will go get the car and be here soon."

Fudan University in Shanghai at the same time.

We played cards all night yesterday and didn't go to sleep until after midnight. Everyone slept very soundly, but Lin Dongzhe had one dream after another that night, and when he opened his eyes...

Then she saw Pengfei sleeping next to her. If only it were Xiaoting.

Tu Nan arrived early in the morning, and the four of them quickly ate breakfast in the cafeteria.

Lin Dongzhe, Xiaoting, Tunan, and Pengfei, each carrying a large backpack, set off for the wholesale market.

They purchased a large quantity of plastic bags at the wholesale market, and then split into two groups. Lin Dongzhe and Xiaoting went to the Huating Road Clothing Wholesale Market, while Tu Nan and Pengfei went to the Qipu Road Clothing Market.

Xiaoting, carrying a heavy schoolbag, couldn't help but speak.

"Dongzhe, with so many plastic bags, are we even capable of selling them? And what about Brother and Pengfei? Won't they mess this up?"

Lin Dongzhe turned to the side and gave Xiaoting a reassuring look. "Xiaoting, with Pengfei here, you can rest assured. He's quick-witted and very good at business. I'll be negotiating with the boss in a bit, and you can help me out. Don't be nervous. This is no different from when we were kids selling notebooks and toothpaste tubes at the recycling center. We're skilled at this, so there won't be any problems!"

Xiaoting nodded vigorously, a smile spreading across her face. "I'm not nervous, let's go!"

The two walked side by side and quickly spotted a clothing stall.

Lin Dongzhe, with a warm smile, spoke first. "Boss, your business is booming!"

The stall owner, sitting in a chair, looked up at the sound. "It's all good! Please feel free to look around and try on whatever you like."

"Boss, do you need any vest bags here?" Lin Dongzhe asked directly.

Upon hearing this, the shop owner immediately stood up from his chair and looked at them curiously. "What kind? Take it out and let me see."

Lin Dongzhe and Xiaoting quickly took out plastic bags from their backpacks.

Lin Dongzhe explained, “There are two types. One type has images of the City God Temple and the Bund printed on it, which is used as packaging bags and looks more upscale, so it is relatively more expensive; the other type is the ordinary one without any images, and it is cheaper.”

The boss frowned and asked suspiciously, "What's so special about the vest bag?"

Seeing this, Xiaoting quickly chimed in. "Boss, Huating Road is bustling with people every day, and many tourists from other places come to buy souvenirs. Using these patterned vest bags for packaging is not only convenient to carry, but it also makes your products look more upscale, and customers are more willing to buy them."

Lin Dongzhe nodded repeatedly. "That's right, that's right!"

The shop owner seemed thoughtful, then reached for a calculator and handed it to them. "What you're saying makes a lot of sense. What's the price?"

Lin Dongzhe took the calculator, quickly entered the price, and handed it back to the shopkeeper. "Boss, we're both students working part-time to earn money, and we just want to make small profits but sell a lot. Your business is so good, why don't you order some of both?"

The shopkeeper stared at the numbers on the calculator and thought the price was reasonable. "Give me four hundred regular ones, and two hundred patterned vest bags."

Xiaoting skillfully took out her wallet, accepted the money from the shopkeeper, quickly calculated the result in her mind, and handed over the change.

The boss had just finished calculating with his calculator when he saw that this young girl had already done the mental calculation.

He took the money, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes: "Young lady, you're so good at mental arithmetic! Young man, your girlfriend is quite nice!"

Lin Dongzhe beamed with joy upon hearing the praise. "I'm so lucky to have my girlfriend working part-time with me."

Xiaoting blushed slightly and nodded with a smile in thanks. "Boss, this is our first order as part of our work-study program. Thank you so much!"

The vendor tucked the plastic bag under his stall. "Haha, good, good! You two are a perfect match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman!"

And so, they successfully closed their first deal.
