68 Buying Clothes Wholesale
“Young lady, you’re here to buy clothes? Come and take a look at our stock. They’re all popular designs among the youth. Look at what you’re wearing. What era is this? Young lady, you’re so pretty. Once you wear our clothes, you’ll definitely be the prettiest on this street!”
Some people saw Xia Wan and Xia Chen looking around for clothes and took the initiative to call out, hoping that Xia Wan would come here to buy.
Although they were doing wholesale, they also sold it separately. This girl looked like a newbie, so maybe he could get some money out of her.
Xia Wan smiled. “No, I’m just looking.”
She continued to lead Xia Chen inside. As they went deeper, the vendors were surrounded by many people, each holding a big bag in their hands, haggling to the edge of their lives, ready to leave with a pile of clothes at any time.
Xia Chen was a little surprised. Wanwan, do they just put these clothes in big bags? I’ve seen clothes sellers, and they’ve all tidied up their clothes.”
As he spoke, he noticed that his sister had also taken out a big bag, the same as the others.
Xia Chen’s eyes widened. “Wanwan, where did you get this? How do you know that they use bags to store clothes?”
Xia Wan gave an honest smile. “I asked this when I was talking to Sis Xiaorou. I’ve already told her that the clothes I bought will be with Boss Zhou first, and I’ll get them when I sell clothes in the future.”
Xia Chen still didn’t know how he should react. “Wait. When did you agree with Sister Xiaorou? I don’t remember hearing you guys talk about this.”
“We were whispering. We couldn’t let you guys hear everything, could we?” Xia Wan smiled mysteriously.
She didn’t intend to put all these clothes in Zhou Xiaorou’s house because there was a traitor there. Her husband and nanny might get in trouble. If she exposed who harmed her, these people would definitely hate her. If they knew that the clothes were in Sis Xiaorou’s house, they might just find out that she intended to sell clothes.
It wasn’t difficult to find out where she lived. If someone were to target her and tell Li Jin and the others about her selling clothes, all the money would go to her. She couldn’t do such a stupid thing.
Zhou Tian’s shop was the safest.
Xia Wan looked at a few stalls, but there was nothing that she was satisfied with… until a plaid shirt caught her attention. She walked towards the stall and realized that the women’s clothes they were selling seemed very fashionable. They had their own distinct style from the other stalls and had their own characteristics. When she got closer, she touched one and realized it was good quality.
“Oh, you have good eyes, little girl. Do you want to buy this plaid shirt, or… you’re also here to restock?” a girl with makeup that looked to be about 27 or 28 years old asked. With lipstick on and an excellent figure, she was like a living signboard.
Xia Wan looked at her and smiled politely. “Hello, I’m here for wholesale. May I know how much this shirt, long dress, and this pair of cropped pants cost?”
The woman was a little surprised. She had high hopes for all three items.
“The shirt is twenty-five, the long dress is thirty, and the cropped pants are twenty-five. If you want them all, I’ll give you a discount,” the woman said lazily, but there was no disdain in her tone. It seemed to be her style.
Xia Wan smiled. “How should I address you, pretty lady?”
The woman’s smile deepened. Anyone would be flattered when their beauty was praised. “You can just call me Sister Hong.”
Xia Wan continued to smile. “Sister Hong, I’m not buying just this one. I’m buying ten pieces of each. Also, this long dress can go with this short sleeve. I’m buying ten pieces of these four. I’ll try selling them first and see the results. If it’s encouraging, I’ll come back to you again.
“Of course, sister Hong, you can also show me other goods. I’ll see if I can come up with a good set.”
As she spoke, Xia Wan took the initiative to demonstrate to Sister Hong. She matched the short-sleeved shirt with the long skirt and the shirt with the cropped pants.
Sister Hong’s eyes lit up. The four pieces of clothing were initially placed separately, but with Xia Wan’s pairing, they instantly looked much more desirable.
