It was completely dark, there were few pedestrians in the clothing city, and most of the facades were closed or were about to be closed.Hou Canghai did not rush into the store, but stood in the dark to observe the small shop carrying the dream of Xiong Xiaomei.

"Little Mei clothing store" bright lights, bear Xiaomei with a glass, in the shop around, the look is focused and calm.

Hou Canghai quietly walked to the door and asked, “How is the business today?”

Xiong Xiaomei was startled, then angry: "You always drop the chain at the critical moment, the clothing store opened such a big thing, actually do not participate."

Hou Canghai said: "If it is not for the group**, I will definitely find a way to take a vacation, today can't go."How about business?”

Xiong Xiaomei suddenly wrapped his hands around the neck of Hou Canghai, turned around the house, and said, “Guess how many clothes were sold today, and how much turnover?”Hou Canghai tried to hold his body and said, "I have no experience in this area, I can't guess."Xiong Xiaomei excitedly said, "Today's turnover is 1,200 yuan, and we are going to get rich."Eat dinner in the evening.”

When Xiong Xiaomei groaned the song to clean up the counter, Hou Canghai looked at the clothing store that made the small family rich with a new look.

When the first few bags of clothing were placed on the ground, it was a pile of snakes that had been broken bones.The costume was arranged out and hung on the shelf, worn on the model, suddenly had a spirit.Hou Canghai boasted: "I did not think that my family Xiaomei is still a business material, the first time to do business is a model, it seems that we all made an empirical mistake."Xiong Xiaomei sighed, "I knew this, I could quit my job and suffered this long-term sin in vain."

After the door closed, the two held hands and took a happy walk.Hearing the wolflike Zhan Jun in Qingshu Village, the originally excellent bear Xiaomei was more happy, and said, “Open Daji, please let me eat a big meal!”

"The big meal is not eaten, I invite you to eat hot pot, Yupai new hot pot, heavy taste."

The two went to the newly opened Yupai hot pot to eat full of butter, and satisfactorily took the bus back to the Black River.The lively Jiangzhou city gradually left the line of sight, and there was darkness outside the car, which seemed to hide countless monsters, and the car was safe and warm, which was completely different from the outside world.

The business opened, and the big stone pressed on the two people was removed by a gap, so that the two young people were completely liberated physically and mentally.After taking a bath, it thumped on the small bed, making the small bed creaking straight, and mixing the sound of "shenyin", like a symphony.

Usually in the morning, Hou Canghai gets up first, and Xiong Xiaomei always sleeps until 9 o'clock.Now there is a clothing city business in the call, she no longer sleeps, 6:30 to get up bed, by the way, the boyfriend wakes up, said: "I go to buy breakfast, want to eat?" 」Hou Canghai slept with his eyes dimly said, "Little cage bag, with pine needles."

When Xiaomei Xiong bought breakfast, Hou Canghai was already sitting at the table.He yawned and said, "I haven't woken up yet, and last night I did the three Langs, and I've consumed most of my physical strength."

Little Bear Meissou took a small cage bun in her boyfriend’s open mouth.The small cage bun is covered with pine needles, and there is a special pine needle fragrance, Hou Canghai likes this taste and prefers this life with vitality.

“The biggest benefit of opening a clothing store is that you can wear a lot of new clothes.”Xiong Xiaomei put a few new clothes on the bed and carefully selected them with great interest.This time, the goods sent by Li Moro are in the tail list of the brand's clothing in Hong Kong, and the quality is good.She picked two dresses from inside, both advertising and new clothes.

Bear Xiaomei spirit to go to the clothing store, for business hard, which makes Hou Canghai did not come from some envy.After coming to the Political and Legal Committee, he still worked well, but suddenly lost the strong motivation to go to Heihe Town.

Get out of the family building and meet Du Lingyi, who has just eaten breakfast.Du Lingxian hurried back to the dormitory, took a large bag of tea, said: "Director Hou, this is my hometown silver needle, soaked in the water, each one to stand up, the taste is great."

"I'm a tea lover, of course, I know the famous silver needle, thank you Xiaodu." He took the tea to the tip of his nose and sniffed it.He was just pretending to be, who knows that the nose has just come to the tea, a fresh tea aroma through the breathing channel for the body, so that the spirit is one of the vibrating.

Du Lingyi said, “I want to participate in the municipal department’s selection examination and listen to the opinions of the director.”

Hou Canghai said flatly: "Inevitably, get rid of the Black River early, and the Black River is no longer the Black River of that year, and it makes no sense to stay here."

Du Lingyan's eyes flashed a glimmer of light, "Thank you, Director Hou, listen to you said this, I made up my mind."

After going to work, the district government notified a meeting to study the matter of Qingshu Village toll booth.The swollen nose came to the venue, and the look was depressed.Wu Zhiwu, a district committee member, first comforted two words, and then took the minutes of the Qingshu Village toll station on the table, and mercilessly reprimanded Zhan Jun.Zhan Jun's head was down, his two faces were full of blood, and the color was deeper in red and swollen, such as dripping blood.

He was very happy to hear that the army was trained.

After the meeting, Yang Dinghe and Hou Canghai were transferred to the Qingshu Village toll station working group, Yang Dinghe is the executive deputy head of the working group, Hou Canghai is the working group office staff.

Within a day, Hou Canghai held three meetings related to the village of Qingshu.At 5:30 p.m., the office leaves office on time.

Hou Canghai, as usual, came to the clothing city, did not immediately enter the small Mei clothing store, sitting in a wooden chair to observe the situation in the store.There are three customers in the store, two people are picking clothes, one is talking about the price with Xiong Xiaomei.Xiong Xiaomei was a teacher, and his ability to communicate with people was very strong, and he could speak eloquently.After a while, two customers came out with their clothes, and three female customers walked into the store.

Opposite the small Mei clothing store, a large store is being renovated, the store installed a large floor-to-ceiling window, decoration modern.

Xiong Xiaomei had just made a business, and after sending away the guests, there were a few waltz dance steps with the music.Looking at my boyfriend sitting outside, I was seeing my boyfriend sitting outside, and the spring breeze came over and said, “How do you sit outside?”Hou Canghai pointed to the opposite store and said, "I am watching your potential competitors, as long as you have money to earn, there will certainly be imitators."Xiong Xiaomei said, “The whole clothing city is only my family’s authentic Korean clothes, and there are no opponents, so you don’t have to worry.”You don't care about the opposite store, clothing city often has stores open, not surprising."

After a few words, the bear returned to the store.

The sea is walking around the clothing town.Walking close to the primary school there is a tea house, where people gather to play chess.The chess player is two young people, full of strength, fighting each other, and smashing the pieces on the board.In the clothing city heard the sound of the chessboard being sounded, Hou Canghai as if he heard fairy music.Bear Xiaomei did not close after eight o'clock, and it was still early from closing time.He stood on the side of the game, holding hands to watch the battle.

There are many people onlookers, and the last time they played chess in Qinyang, in fact, the real participants in the battle group are three people, a middle-aged man about 40 years old, and two young people.A pair of chess is placed on the coffee table, and the two young people are incomplex to kill, and middle-aged people are concentrated in watching the battle and speaking from time to time.

He stared at the head, found a lot of defeats, and shook his head gently.

He looked at the real gentleman, raised his hand and had no regrets, he still covered his mouth tightly and did not speak.Moreover, these two people do not play enough chess, pointing out the problem, they may not understand.

The middle-aged man noticed Hou Canghai's expression, and when the game was over, he said, "This young man is playing well, just saw you shaking his head, come, kill a set."

He is addicted to chess and does not refuse.The two sides set up pieces, not polite, and began to fight.Hou Canghai originally thought that middle-aged people had superior chess power, and knew that middle-aged people's chess power was not as good as himself, but it was similar to the original director Zhang Qiang.They have no research on the layout and prefer to decide the win or lose with the middle game.This kind of rule is beginning to lose, there is no reason to win.

The chess game was quickly one-sided, and the middle-aged man looked slightly embarrassed, but he quickly adjusted it and said, "Well done, usually I don't see you playing chess."I am from the Municipal Sports Commission, they all call me Lao Wu, Wu Peiguo, where do you work?

Hou Canghai said, “I work in Jiangyang District Committee.”

Lao Wu said, “Previously, Secretary Zhang Qiang loved to play chess, have you ever played with him?”

He said, “Frequently.”

"I did not think that the Jiangyang District Party Committee still hides a master, have not heard of it, Shannan to hold a chess game, Jiangzhou first to engage in pre-game, you can register a name."You usually go to the chess room of the sports committee to play with the professional master, so that the progress is fast.This is where amateur players gather, and the chess room of the sports committee is the place where professional players compete, and I can't play there, pure organizer." Old Wu's words imply the machine front, reminding the young people in front of not proud, the city's real master has not yet come out.

Unconsciously, the time came at 8 p.m., and the clothing was gradually deserted in the city.Hou Canghai and middle-life Wu Peiguo exchanged phone calls and returned to Xiaomei clothing store.Xiaomei is still dragging the floor in the clothing store, the mood is very good, and she learned that her boyfriend has gone to play chess and has not complained.

Packed up the facade, the two went outside to eat the new hot pot, a warm ride back to the Black River.

For Hou Canghai, his days in the District Political and Legal Committee were unsurprising.In the past, the passion was wet by a throbbing spring rain, and it was missing.

The only thing that comforted him was that the clothing store was doing well.

In addition to caring for clothing stores, Hou Canghai resumed his war in the Chuhe Han border.In the past, there was no Hou Canghai figure in the chess world in Jiangzhou, and after several conquests, his strong strength won the nickname of "Jiangyang fast knife hand".The quick knife hand is Hou Canghai's chess name on the Internet, and the combination of the two is his name in the Jiangzhou chess world.

Chess field proud, official disillusioned, always let Hou Canghai feel depressed and unconvinced.He knew full well that resignation was only a matter of time.

Since the opening of the small Mei clothing store, the business has been surprisingly good, which has greatly increased the confidence of Xiong Xiaomei.According to her conservative estimate, the net profit of each month is at least 10,000 yuan, ten thousand yuan is slightly equal to Hou Canghai's one-year salary, Hou Canghai on the one hand to make money happy, on the other hand also lamenting his own wage income is meager.

After an inventory, Hou Canghai looked at a stack of banknotes, and had no intention of meeting Yang Zhongfang in the Qinyang Hotel, saying: "When leaving Qinzhou, your mother specifically told me not to resign easily, lest the two people have no job together, which may lead to a serious economic crisis in the family."Now it seems that we are going to be financially free.”

Bear Xiaomei was surprised and said, “When did she say that?”

Hou Canghai knew and lied, hiding: “She has always been this view.”Now that we’re in business, I can also consider quitting.Even if I can't find the right project for a while, the clothing store can feed me."

Xiao Mei said, “Of course.”

The two people were happy for not long, and the opposite clothing store opened on April 1st, April Fools Day, called "Han Tide", which is much larger than Xiaomei Clothing Store, with four salesmen wearing unified clothing.The most stressful thing is that the clothing it sells is homogeneous with the small Mei clothing store, and the clothing grade is very close.

In order to create a Korean atmosphere, the Korean tide hit the bright colors in the clothing store, and the Han's decorations were displayed and hung everywhere on the ground and on the ceiling.At the door of the Han raid store, there was a piece of paper "walking with me, and it was embarrassing."Mother Zhou Yongli ignored these constraints and swaggered into observation countless times, and detected countless intelligences for Xiaomei.

On April 15, when Hou Canghai left work, he went to the clothing store, and there was a guest in the small Mei clothing store.

Bear Xiaomei did not disturb the guests, so as not to scare the guests away.After opening the store, she bought several books on clothing marketing, bad clothing marketing knowledge, and used the existing conditions to use the knowledge in the marketing book for practice.Combining book knowledge with practice makes her progress very fast.

Hou Canghai observed the face of Xiaomei, said: "How is the business?"There's a strong opponent in front of you."

Xiong Xiaomei said angrily: "I didn't think they also sell hanb Korean clothes, and they were 50% off when they opened the business, and all the same styles were much cheaper than us, which is unfair competition."I am ready to send all the business money to Li Moro, so that she can send some styles to update the trendy Korean version of clothing.When these costumes come over, they will definitely defeat the fake Korean stream on the other side."

Hou Canghai works in the government, often hear colleagues talk about the shopping mall, quite a bit of the meaning of the mountains.At this time, he got involved in the real market, although it was just a small clothing store, and found that it was easy to talk and it was difficult to do things.

During the conversation, another customer came in.The two stopped talking and looked at the customer with the light of the corner of their eyes.The customer turned around in the store, went out, and went to the opposite Han Tide.After about ten minutes, she came out with a pocket, and apparently a shopping act took place.

The business was robbed by the new store opposite, Xiong Xiaomei said indignantly: "The opposite house is very rogue, in order to attract customers, all styles close to us are discounted and sold, rob us of this side of the business."

Hou Canghai said, "The other side of the strong strength, should be through the business of the old fox, not easy to deal with."

"I want to buy a small TV and DVD, usually play some Korean movies, play some music, create an atmosphere, should be able to attract some guests."If we can't bear the wolf, we still have to increase our investment, otherwise we will fall into a vicious circle."When the door of the bear Xiaomei first opened, the business exploded, and it was not expected that the time would not be long before a strong opponent was met, and his face was sad for a while.

Hou Canghai said, “Small TV is not expensive, buy it.”

At six o'clock in the evening, the sea was hungry and choked.There are stoves in the store, in order not to produce fumes, has not been activated, Hou Canghai ate some snacks, still can not solve the problem.He finally couldn't help but be hungry, and ate a bowl of noodles outside the clothing city, and by the way, brought back a bowl of bear Xiaomei.

The bear was hungry and stuttered.

"The opposite side of the four salesmen, the boss is very relaxed, you still have to ask the salesman, otherwise the time is long, people will certainly not be able to stand."

Xiong Xiaomei pointed to the corner with chopsticks and said, “If there is no opening on the opposite side, I have called the salesman.”Now that the situation has changed, there is a need to tighten the costs.”

Hou Canghai shook his head, "Or you have to ask a waiter, otherwise you will be unable to leave for a long time."

Xiong Xiaomei was tied to the store every day, went to the Shannan wholesale market to see the situation without time, it really felt inconvenient, "Then get an advertisement, only one person."

Hou Canghai went out to print the job advertisement and posted it outside the store.After getting it done, he began to check himself: "Wife, I used to think that there was no need to help me to open a clothing store, so there is no full investment, from now on, I want to spend more time in the clothing store, this is a small shop for us to make sure money."

Xiong Xiaomei said, “There is not much going on in this shop, and I will take care of it.”You are still an officer.Now Chen Wenjun is smooth and has strong ability to do things, and you will follow the path of Chen Wenjun."

Hou Canghai said, “The road of Chen Wenjun can only be taken by Chen Wenjun, and I am not suitable.”I’ve been fighting for so many years and suddenly I don’t have to do anything.I just take a wage wage-earner, to put it more accurately, I am just a worker, no ideals, no responsibilities, and then go on, I feel that I will abolish it."

It was getting dark, and the citizens who were walking walked into the clothing city, which was the last wave of guests today.Bear Xiaomei made up her makeup and looked at the door full of hope.Whenever a person passes by, she can't help but stretch her neck, and if the customer does not enter the door, she will shrink her neck back.In the alternation of hope and disappointment, he spent the last hour of the day's business time, sold two sets of more expensive clothing stores, and the turnover reached 1,450.

When he closed, Xiong Xiaomei said, "Husband is a lucky star, after you came, today's turnover has reached a record high for nearly a period of time, but there is still a big gap compared to when it opened."Looking at Xiong Xiaomei's happy appearance because he sold two sets of clothing, Hou Canghai said with emotion: "I thought it was very easy to open a clothing store, I didn't think it was difficult."

The two walk to the bus.The car started, and in a slight bump, they both fell silent.He said, “Is this the life you want?”Xiong Xiaomei looked out the window at the night and said, "I don't think about these abstract issues, all my thoughts are in the clothing store, I must do a good job, I have no way back."Hou Canghai said, "The clothing store is just a stop in life, and it is an inconspicuous little station, don't worry too much."Xiong Xiaomei leaned his head on her boyfriend's broad shoulder and said, "This is the first business I've done, and I must not fail."

Many things are not transferred by the will of man.Since the opening of the opposite Korean wave, Xiaomei clothing store has been high and low, and business is not as good as one day.Whether it is new styles of clothing or the addition of TV, there is still no way to recover the decline.The other side only used the simple and rude trick of "price reduction" to make the small Mei clothing store miserable.
