Chapter 498: Chapter 498
After seeking advice from Huang Li, Pu Sangzhi and Ye Qingcao had absorbed quite a bit of sales knowledge!
Later, as the sun set, the flow of customers gradually increased, and the store finally began to hit its peak period.
Pu Sangzhi and Ye Qingcao then witnessed what was called peak period traffic...
Customers came in waves, and they were not orderly but flocked in groups!
Pu Sangzhi and Ye Qingcao put forth all their energy, enthusiastically welcoming customers!
They brought out their novice-like enthusiasm, trying their best to give every customer the pressure of "I’m so enthusiastic, you’d be unreasonable not to buy something!"
Actually, sales are simple in some ways.
As long as you can stop caring about losing face and have slightly better verbal skills, most people can achieve some performance!
So, during the peak period from 4 PM to 9 PM, Pu Sangzhi and Ye Qingcao, bustling around the store, each achieved quite impressive sales figures!
After five hours of busyness, Pu Sangzhi sold eighteen pieces of clothing and nine pairs of pants, totaling over 6000 in sales!
Ye Qingcao also managed, through her enthusiastic and hardworking service, to sell ten sets of sportswear and two pairs of sneakers, totaling over 4000 in sales!
After this stretch of peak busyness, their sales performances were tremendously good!
Although there was still some distance compared to veteran employees, compared to another new temporary worker hired for the summer, they were far ahead!
That guy, Pu Sangzhi and Ye Qingcao were impressed by him.
During such a busy peak period, he could calmly weave through the crowds, neither actively calling out to customers nor voluntarily helping them, but instead waiting for customers to come to him...
It was because of his laissez-faire sales approach that in such a busy peak period, he impressively maintained a performance of zero! Follow current novels on 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩·𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢·𝔫𝔢𝔱
And moreover, he was completely unfazed by it!
After nine o’clock, the flow of customers suddenly decreased dramatically.
People’s habits seem to be the same. They all choose appropriate times for shopping, and suitable times to finish shopping.
So, when nine o’clock, this watershed moment, arrived, the flow of customers in the store naturally presented a completely different scene compared to eight o’clock or eight-thirty.
At nine, after the number of customers had decreased, the manager finally ordered dinner for the employees.
However, this meal was actually their second meal in the store.
The first meal was ordered by the manager around 3 PM. Eating off-peak was one of the conditions to ensure good sales performance in the store.
And to ensure there were always people attending to customers, they had to take turns going to eat.
The veteran employees went to eat first, leaving Pu Sangzhi, Ye Qingcao, and that "zero performance" boy to attend to the customers.
Of course, the manager was also outside accompanying these newcomers.
Since there weren’t many customers in the store, the manager took the opportunity to tally up the day’s sales performance for them.
"Pu Sangzhi, you did very well today, with daily sales reaching 6258. Keep it up tomorrow," the manager praised Pu Sangzhi.
"Yes. I’ll do my best."
Pu Sangzhi was standing next to the manager, watching the data on the computer alongside him, feeling very happy to see her own achievements.
"Ye Qingcao, you did well today too, with your sales reaching 4838. Your speaking skills really surprised me; your braces didn’t slow down your speech at all, which is pretty impressive! Keep it up tomorrow!" The manager equally praised Ye Qingcao.
At that moment, Ye Qingcao, standing next to Pu Sangzhi, smiled broadly showing her metal teeth, "Alright! Manager! I guarantee I’ll still be full of energy tomorrow!"
Afterward, the manager coughed twice and, with a very expressive look, glanced at Han Lei, who was on the other side counting the merchandise with zero performance.
"Han Lei, how many days have you been here now?" the manager intentionally asked the boy.
Han Lei stopped his counting movements, slowly turned around, and looked at the manager with a clueless face.
Because he could anticipate what the manager was about to say, an embarrassed and uncomfortable expression appeared on his otherwise expressionless face.
"Han Lei, look here, you need to learn from these two girls. It’s not okay to feel embarrassed about competing with girls for customers. The customers still need to be attended to, otherwise it makes no difference whether you are here or not, right?" the manager said.
Upon hearing this, Han Lei’s face darkened, and he suddenly became quiet for nearly half a minute.
Just when everyone thought he was too ashamed to speak, he suddenly spoke up, "Are you going to fire me?"
This question awkwardly silenced the manager for a while before bluntly replying, "You really need to put in some effort. If you still don’t have any performance, I might have to let you go."
Han Lei wasn’t embarrassed and simply replied, "Oh."
This response left Pu Sangzhi, Ye Qingcao, and the manager dumbfounded.
It was unclear whether he cared about this job or not...
And it was also unclear whether underneath that expressionless face, his mood was collapsing or calm.
No, it’s dull! Like a dull gourd!
"You are pretty open-minded..."
The manager muttered gloomily, then continued to Pu Sangzhi and Ye Qingcao beside him, "You two keep up the good work, I’m really rooting for you both. Qingcao, you truly shocked me today, dealing with that mother who haggled so fiercely over the price for her son, and yet you managed to talk her into buying 3 suits in one go, amazing!"
The manager had high praise for Ye Qingcao’s eloquence!
During the peak hours today, the manager was drawn by Ye Qingcao’s loud voice, and his gaze stayed fixed on her.
However, what the manager didn’t expect was that in the end, Pu Sangzhi actually had higher sales than Ye Qingcao!
So, the manager planned to observe Pu Sangzhi’s selling methods tomorrow to see how she managed to sell so many outfits.
All in all, both girls are treasures.
The manager was very pleased with both of them!
At 10 PM, the day’s work ended.
When Pu Sangzhi and Ye Qingcao left the store, Huo Feng and his electric scooter were already waiting at the door.
The two of them got on Huo Feng’s electric scooter, and he drove them home.
On the way, Huo Feng proposed to take them out for a late-night snack, but they both declined since they had just eaten dinner at 9:30 PM.
Upon hearing that they had just finished eating at 9:30 PM, Huo Feng felt so sympathetic! He urged them again, telling them not to take on part-time jobs!
But Pu Sangzhi and Ye Qingcao wouldn’t listen to him.
They were very successful at work today, and the high sales boosted their pride and joy.
Thus, they were even more motivated for work tomorrow!
Huo Feng dropped them off at their home, hoping to discuss the day’s work experiences with them, but they both declined again, too exhausted and wanting to take a bath and sleep.
Thus, Huo Feng was rejected once more!
Although he was rejected, Huo Feng, not one to admit defeat easily, shamelessly decided to stay overnight at Pu Sangzhi’s place.
Staying overnight at Pu Sangzhi’s wasn’t a first-time occurrence, so it was quite normal.
Still, Huo Feng always felt as if he had been relegated to the cold palace...
As soon as Pu Sangzhi and Ye Qingcao entered the house, they planned to shower together.
Huo Feng tried to stop them from showering together, but they rejected him for the third time!
The reason was to save time! To rest earlier!
So later, Huo Feng stood by himself outside the bathroom door, listening to their conversations inside, occasionally warning Ye Qingcao, "Xiaocao, look all you want but don’t touch me! If you dare to, I’ll deal with you later!"
Ye Qingcao and Pu Sangzhi inside the bathroom laughed and chatted happily, paying no attention to Huo Feng, which truly saddened him!
While waiting, the bored Huo Feng chatted with Yan Siyuan, asking him, [Yan Ji, I really want to fix you up with an ugly duckling. I wonder if you have the heart to take my girlfriend’s best friend?]
Yan Siyuan, always online and never offline, replied immediately: [Can you show me a photo first?]
Huo Feng knew that Yan Siyuan, the fickle-hearted, would take any girl, even ones who looked like Sister Hetun!
With such character, Huo Feng really didn’t dare to push the naive Xiaocao onto Yan Siyuan!
Thinking it over, Huo Feng messaged Yan Siyuan again: [Never mind, it would be bad to mess you up like that.]
Yan Siyuan had lost count of how many times Huo Feng had played him like a dog!
Huo Feng, that dog, always gave him hope and then dashed it! Very annoying!
Finally, when the two of them finished showering and washing their hair.
Huo Feng finally found a chance to pester Pu Sangzhi!
Eagerly positioning the hairdryer, Huo Feng waved to Pu Sangzhi, "Beauty, let me dry your hair!"
While toweling her hair, Pu Sangzhi pushed Ye Qingcao forward, "Xiaocao, you go dry your hair first. I need to take the clothes to the balcony."
Obediently, Ye Qingcao walked towards Huo Feng, "Here I come, Feng! You’re going to dry my hair!"
Huo Feng roared: "Scram!"
Feeling very wronged...
