Just like that, Tang Qing and Sun Chao watched as Dou Jiao continually tried on various clothes. Any piece she liked, she would ask the shop assistant beside her to fold up. As the pile of clothes and the total price beca increasingly exorbitant, had it not been for Tang Qing’s custom Qi Yan label, they may have thought Dou Jiao was just causing a ruckus. After all, who buys so many clothes from the sa store as if buying cabbage.
If this were any other clothing store, even if Tang Qing, this local tycoon, were treating Dou Jiao, she would never pick so much all at once - one or two pieces at the most. After all, once spent, that money is really gone, and she’s not so careless. However, Sheng Tang is different; it’s Tang Qing’s company. Even if money is spent, it can be considered as injecting capital into the company, only that the beneficiaries have increased by two - one being Tang Qing and her.
More than an hour later, Dou Jiao finally finished choosing.
Looking at the various pieces of clothes, Dou Jiao’s eyes shone like a farr feasting their eyes on a bumper harvest.
Of course, Dou Jiao didn’t just choose the more expensive items; the regular clothing section also had many excellent products.
Cashier.
Sun Chao and Tang Qing handed the huge pile of clothes to the cashier. It should have been the job of the shop assistants, but more custors had co in just now, so Tang Qing let them go serve them. After all, those clothes are not cheap. They can be felt and pulled as one likes, so might even break.
Looking at the dozens of clothes, the cashier girl asked in surprise, "Sir, do you want all these?"
This is not a wholesale market, getting dozens of items at once. Half of these clothes are limited products from the high-end clothing section, and they are not cheap. Unless soone is a very loyal custor or buying gifts, why would anyone buy so much? But how long has the Sheng Tang brand been in existence to have such loyal fans?
"Yes, these are all ours. Please, make up the bill," Tang Qing nodded and smiled.
"Alright, sir, please wait a mont." On getting Tang Qing’s confirmation, the cashier hastened to call an assistant to scan the barcodes and pack. To save space, Tang Qing directly requested to pack as many items as possible into each bag. Although it seed a bit low, Dou Jiao was not around anyway, so they could just stuff them full for now.
Soon, the total price was calculated.
"Sir, there are 28 items in total, which co to ¥23,200. As part of our grand opening special, all purchases over ¥10,000 are discounted 30 percent. After rounding down, the total cos to ¥16,200. Will you be paying by card or cash?" The cashier asked cautiously, given that this was a considerable sum in this era.
"Card."
Tang Qing then handed over a bank card.
There are still no special types of supre mbership cards for Sheng Tang. They only have so regular mbership cards and shopping cards. The senior mbership cards will be released next month, once Sheng Tang’s full-scale store rollout is complete.
However, Tang Qing does have a Dream lody Group’s diamond card, which Liu Qian gave him yesterday. This card is different from the previous ones Liu Qian gave him to get free als. It allows him to purchase all the group’s products at cost price with no upper limit. The amount will be deducted from the year-end dividend. If it cannot be deducted this year, Liu Qian won’t claim his money but deduct it next year.
It’s not that Liu Qian is stingy. The previous card was to win over Tang Qing, and Liu Qian footed the bill for all ’bad corporate debt.’ But the Dream lody Group is a partnership between the two, and Tang Qing is also a major shareholder of the company. Naturally, he needs to shoulder the group’s ’bad debts.’
The cashier perford so operations and handed it to Tang Qing, who entered his password.
Transaction completed.
Seeing that the transaction was successful and the card was not maxed out, the cashier breathed a sigh of relief, finally achieving her ’money in the bag’ mont.
"Thank you for your patronage. Please wait a mont. We have gifts and a mbership card for custors whose consumption exceeds ¥10,000. Our store manager will co soon," the cashier greeted warmly.
At this ti, the store manager, Li ng, also received news of a significant custor’s visit.
According to the company’s rules, she had to co out and greet him personally.
Li ng quickly stepped out of the office area, imdiately spotting the tall and handso Tang Qing at the cashier’s counter. Her expression changed and with a warm smile on her face, she walked up to him.
Li ng approached Tang Qing and bowed slightly, saying, "Chairman, hello, welco to the inspection."
"Oh, you know ?" Tang Qing said in surprise. He honestly hadn’t seen her before, but with his impressive mory, there were hardly any employees in the company he didn’t recognize. Whenever he visited the company, he often called employees by their nas when he encountered them in the yard. Seeing their ’flattered’ expressions, Tang Qing found this tactic to be quite ’shaless,’ ’manipulating’ employee sentints.
"Yes, Chairman. I saw your photo during the company’s training session." Li ng said respectfully. Having worked in the service industry for so many years, she understood the importance of recognizing people. If she could not even recognize the company’s chairman and top executives, she might not last long in the company.
Among her peers, she was the best of the branch manager training class, standing out from dozens of store managers to beco the manager of Sheng Tang’s first and flagship store in Province City. Without proper preparation, she could never co out on top.
Upon hearing this, Tang Qing nodded. He seed to rember that the company had such a requirent; assistant managers and above were to be trained at Sheng Tang’s headquarters. However, he hadn’t paid much attention to what the training entailed.
"Hehe, good mory. Keep up the good work. The company’s future depends on all of you." Tang Qing shalessly spoke in clichés. He couldn’t help it. Once he started speaking, he couldn’t stop. In his previous life, he felt company leaders’ clichéd speeches were insincere and pretentious. But in this life, he realized that bosses had to speak this way. Being too aloof was detrintal to everyone.
"Yes, Chairman. You bought so much..." Li ng asked carefully, wondering if Tang Qing was conducting a secret inspection.
"Oh, these are gifts for my friends. Our company’s products are really good. My friends like them too, and I can’t just take them for free." Tang Qing explained.
"What the Chairman said is true. Our company’s product quality is unquestionable. Apart from the brand na, our quality and style are not inferior to those big brands."
Li ng sighed in relief after hearing this. Although she hadn’t done anything wrong, an inspection from the leader was always nerve-wracking. The company had a policy that allowed executives and above to open credit accounts here, with the cost deducted from their salary at cost price. Of course, this didn’t apply to those with company shopping cards. As for the chairman, he could take anything he wanted. She didn’t care if Tang Qing was just moving money from his left hand to his right.
"How’s business these past few days? Any difficulties?" Tang Qing asked with a smile.
Li ng quickly replied, "Business has been quite good since the grand opening. The first day’s sales broke eighty thousand. Although there was a drop afterward, it has always maintained around fifty thousand. After all, this is the central business district of Province City. With a high footfall and good consumption levels, our company’s various grades and styles of clothing are very popular and of high quality, which has made us quite popular among consurs."
Tang Qing listened and encouraged her by saying, "That’s good, work hard. If the performance is good, we’ll give you a big red envelope at the end of the year."
"Thank you, chairman." Li ng said happily. If it was soone in their fifties or sixties saying this, she might not be so hopeful. She’d seen too many of those old slick speakers make grand promises and then back out. However, people of Tang Qing’s age cared about their reputations and usually kept their promises.
"Hehe, you’re welco. I’ll get going now, you all get back to work." Tang Qing, seeing Dou Jiao return from afar, imdiately spoke.
"Chairman, let carry them for you." Li ng moved forward to take over, not just out of courtesy but genuinely trying to help. However, Tang Qing intercepted her and said, "No need, these things aren’t heavy, we two big guys aren’t tired..."
"Alright then, Chairman, please take care." Li ng, seeing that she could not resist Tang Qing, had no choice but to relent and pay her respects.
"Ok."
After saying so, Tang Qing and Sun Chao exited Sheng Tang’s flagship store.
Afterward, Tang Qing and his companions went back to the parking lot to put down their purchases. He still needed to shop for his cousin’s gifts, which was inconvenient with so much to carry.
