The beginning was usually the most difficult. Once Su Yue had her first order, she started to receive an order every other day. Even though the amount wasn’t substantial, she still felt contented.
She believed that things would get better soon.
She received an important order in school today. Su Yue felt chirpy, and she decided to cook Xiaojiao’s favorite dishes.
She was just setting the table when the door opened.
Xiaojiao ran towards her like a little bunny, with her schoolbag bobbing up and down on her back. “Mommy!”
“You’re back.” Su Yue was putting plates on the table. She turned around and frowned at the girl. “What is that on your clothes? Why is it so dirty?”
She placed the chopsticks down and knelt down in front of Xiaojiao. She examined the stain on her chest.
Xiaojiao bent her head to avoid Su Yue’s eyes. She meekly replied, “I ate cake.”
Su Yue sharply asked, “Are you sure it’s cake?”
Xiaojiao kept quiet.
Su Yue turned towards the helper. “Aunty, didn’t I say that Xiaojiao can’t eat cold food? It’s getting colder these days. Why did you allow her to eat ice cream?”
The aunty hastily explained, “Miss Su, it was because all of the children were eating. Xiaojiao looked so sorry and pitiful so I gave her a small mouthful. It’s really a small mouthful.”
Su Yue’s anger dissipated as she glanced at Xiaojiao. “Ask me first if you want to eat in the future.”
She used her fingers to try to remove the ice cream stain.
Xiaojiao nodded obediently. “Okay.”
Su Yue spoke gently to Xiaojiao. “Xiaojiao, Mommy doesn’t want you to get a stomachache.”
Xiaojiao nodded quietly.
Su Yue smiled at her. “Go wash your hands. I will bring out the rest of the food.”
She stood up and walked towards the kitchen.
Xiaojiao raised her head and beamed at her helper.
Both the old lady and the child were thinking of the same thing. ‘We were almost found out!’
After Xiaojiao fell asleep, Su Yue switched on her laptop once again. She received several notifications.
There were new orders and queries.
There was a customer with the username of ‘Book Baby’. ‘Dear, can I get a free item if I buy one?’
Su Yue was getting experienced at handling such customers. And she planned on capturing the high-end and exclusive market so she was firm on declining all discount requests. She replied, ‘My apologies. The prices stated are already the lowest, and it’s inclusive of shipping.’
Book Baby replied, ‘How about a free small item if I buy the big one?’
A free small item if he buys the big one? What the heck!
She was selling famous local products, and not makeup. How could she give samples?
Su Yue kept her posure and replied, ‘So sorry, there are no small items available.’
Book Baby replied, ‘Isn’t it mon to get a small item free if you buy the big one?’
Su Yue replied, ‘Dear, so sorry. I’m selling local products, not beauty products. There aren’t any small items or samples.’
Book Baby typed, ‘Book Baby is upset! I will give bad reviews!’
Su Yue was speechless when she read the reply.
Fortunately, this customer didn’t order from her. If he or she really gave a bad review, she would be so demoralized.
At that moment, her screen lit up with a new order notification. Su Yue eagerly clicked on it, but her face fell the next second.
The customer was Book Baby.
No way! There was no way she would sell to this customer who wanted to give her a bad review even before purchasing.
The customer typed, ‘I have loads of money. I don’t need any free items. Send the items to me soon.’
