Black Fairy, the master is a female ghost

Yangshan County was only a hundred miles away from Beichen Sect. Lu Xunhuan followed his boss down the mountain and arrived at the county when it got dark.

It turned out that the boss ran a fabric store.

But the boss is not only in the fabric business. He first opened a fabric store when he started his business, and later he also opened a tailor shop.

He traveled hundreds of miles to Beichen Sect just to expand his business and asked Beichen Sect to customize sect uniforms from his tailor shop.

But such business is not easy to negotiate. First of all, people have to be willing to make clothes from him. In addition, the fabrics have to be better than those of other companies and the price has to be cheaper.

In order to attract business, you can use slightly better fabrics or make them cheaper, but in business, you always have to make money. If you don’t make money or even lose money, then why bother working so hard? It’s better not to do it.

The boss's talks with the leader of the Beichen School were not going smoothly, because the other party wanted good quality fabrics so that the clothes would look decent when worn, but he also wanted a low price.

Therefore, the deal was not concluded immediately.

After the boss brought Lu Xunhuan back, he took him directly to the tailor shop.

"Erwa, since you're single, you can live in the shop from now on and help run the store."

Lu Xun Huan looked around the tailor shop and said, "Boss, we need to clarify the responsibilities first. We also need to make the wages and benefits clear. This way, we can have a goal in mind when we do things."

The boss stroked his beard and said, "You kid, are you from the village? You are very smart."

He said, "Your future responsibilities will be to attract customers to our tailor shop to have their clothes made. The benefits include food, lodging, and three meals a day. Is that okay?"

Lu Xun Huan said, "I understand my responsibilities. They're for sales. The more customers I bring in, the better. As for benefits, boss, you need to make it clear where I'm going to eat three meals a day. Also, if I'm out on business and miss a meal, can you convert the meal expenses into cash and give it to me when I get paid?"

The boss laughed and said, "Erwa, you're really smart. As for meals, three meals a day are prepared by the fabric shop next door. Just go and eat there. If you miss it, I'll have the chef write it down for you and give you three cents per meal as a subsidy."

Lu Xun Huan nodded: "Okay, boss, you're so generous. So what about the salary and commission?"

The boss stroked his beard and said, "As for wages, it's two taels of silver a month. As for commission, there's no precedent before. Let me think about it."

Lu Xun Huan said, "Calculate the costs and give me the lowest quote for making clothes from various fabrics. As for the commission, we'll calculate it based on the profit. If you make 100 taels of silver, you can give me 1 tael. How about that?"

The boss nodded: "Okay, it's settled then."

He called Lu Xunhuan: "Come, come, Erwa, I'll give you a new set of toiletries..."

The boss explained to Lu Xunhuan for a while, telling him where to sleep, where to wash, and where to go to the toilet. Then he left Lu Xunhuan in the tailor shop and went home.

After Lu Xunhuan finished washing up, he lay on the bed, thought for a while, and then fell asleep.

The next day, he was half asleep when the door of the tailor shop opened and someone came in and called out, "Lu Erwa, get up and have breakfast."

Lu Xunhuan got up and walked from the back of the tailor shop to the front, where he saw a man in his forties.

He asked, "How do you know I'm Lu Erwa?"

The uncle said, "The boss told us last night that he would call you for three meals a day from now on. Young man, work hard and bring in more business. If the boss makes money, we can eat delicious food every day from now on."

Lu Xun Huan touched his chin and said, "I can't use Erwa's name to attract clients. It's a bit old-fashioned. Uncle, can you help me choose a formal name?"

The uncle scratched his head and thought for a while: "Lu... Lu what, Lu... Lu Di... Our tailor shop is called Wangfuji, Lu Wangfu..."

He shook his head and said, "I can't do it, young man. You figure it out yourself."

Three days later, a handsome young man walked out of Wangfuji Tailor Shop.

Lu Xunhuan gave himself a name, "Lu Suifeng", and made dozens of "business cards" in a formal manner. He carried a bag with various fabrics in it and set out to attract customers.

He specially asked the tailor to embroider three words on his chest, "Wang Fu Ji".

He asked his boss to make this suit specially for him, using the best fabric.

The boss felt a little pained for a while, but was persuaded by him and generously made him a set.

Lu Xunhuan's reason was simple. Our Wangfuji is in the clothing business. When we sell our products, we dress decently and leave a good first impression on customers, which will increase our success rate.

When the boss heard what he said made sense, he readily accepted it.

He left the tailor shop and walked along the street, looking for potential customers as he walked.

The pedestrians coming and going on the street are not his target. If he wants to make sales, he has to do it in bulk. Attracting individual customers is too energy-consuming and meaningless.

After walking about ten feet, he stopped and looked up.

The plaque in front of me reads "Yangshan Restaurant".

He nodded and walked in.

A clerk came up to him and noticed the words "Wang Fu Ji" on his chest. He asked, "Sir, are you from the tailor shop next door?"

Lu Xun Huan replied, "That's right, brother, how do you feel about my clothes?"

The clerk nodded: "Very good, you can tell it's from Wangfuji at a glance, very respectable."

He asked Lu Xunhuan, "Sir, would you like to treat us? Can we sit upstairs?"

Lu Xunhuan said, "I'm not here to eat."

He lowered his voice and asked, "Brother, I see you don't have any special restaurant uniforms. Would you like to get some? It would be very prestigious. When you go out, people will look up to you as you are from Yangshan Restaurant."

The clerk said, "That's good, but I wonder if the boss is willing to give it up."

Lu Xunhuan asked, "Is the boss stingy?"

The guy looked away and whispered, "That's a bit stingy."

Lu Xun Huan touched his chin and said, "It's okay. Leave it to me. I'll make sure you wear the exclusive uniforms of the Yangshan Restaurant. Where is the boss?"

The waiter said, "If you can convince the boss to make a few sets for each of us, I'll have the chef add more ingredients and make the portions more generous when you come to eat next time."

Lu Xun Huan patted his shoulder and said, "Okay, okay, thank you, brother."

The clerk pointed upstairs and said, "The boss is on the second floor. He's probably settling accounts with the boss's wife."

Lu Xunhuan turned around and walked towards the stairs: "Brother, wait."

He walked up the wooden stairs to the second floor, took a quick look around, and walked to the corner at the end.

There was a room with the door open. Two people, a man and a woman, were sitting inside, and they were indeed settling accounts.

The man is fat and you can tell at first glance that he is the boss.

The woman was a middle-aged lady, and she looked quite pretty.

The two of them looked up and first saw the words "Wang Fu Ji" embroidered on Lu Xunhuan's chest.

The man asked, "From a tailor shop?"

Lu Xunhuan nodded: "Yes, Wangfuji Tailor Shop, Lu Suifeng."

He took out a business card from his pocket and handed it over: "Boss, Boss Lady, thank you for your guidance."

The proprietress took the business card first, looked at it and said, "This thing is strange. What is it called?"

Lu Xun Huan replied, "It's called a business card. It has your name, the name of the store, the store's location, and even titles like Boss or Boss Lady engraved on it."

The proprietress looked at it over and over for a while and said, "It's pretty good, young man. Where did you make it?"

Lu Xun Huan replied, "I made them myself. Madam, do you want some? I can make dozens for you. When you make new friends in the future, you can hand them your business card and they'll know what kind of restaurant you opened and where it's located. When you invite people to dinner, they'll think of your Yangshan Restaurant."

The proprietress praised: "Great, great, Lu Suifeng, no, Brother Lu, can you really make dozens of them for me?"

Lu Xun Huan said, "If the boss lady needs it, I will stay up all night to help her make it."

The proprietress quickly said, "Yes, of course."

She asked the boss, "Do you want to make a few dozen too?"

The boss took the business card, looked at it, and praised it: "Great, Brother Lu, it's embarrassing to bother you for no reason."

Lu Xun Huan smiled and said, "Boss, Boss Lady, have you settled the bill? If you have time, let's chat. I have many more brilliant ideas that I promise will double the business of your Yangshan Restaurant."

When the two heard that they could double their business, their eyes widened and they quickly stood up: "When you're free, when you're free, Brother Lu, let's go and have some tea."

After a while, in a private room on the third floor, Lu Xunhuan spoke eloquently and eloquently.

He brainwashed the boss and the boss's wife about how to package the Yangshan Hotel, how to promote it, how to make a sensation in the entire county, and how to become the number one hotel in the county.

Those were all modern ideas from his previous life, and the boss and his wife had never heard of them.

The two of them cheered and praised endlessly.

Lu Xun Huan spoke for half an hour before taking a sip from his teacup. “To be honest, all of my advanced ideas require a fee, but since the boss and his wife are so kind, I’ll give them to you for free.”

The proprietress quickly poured him some tea. "Brother Lu, listening to your words is worth ten years of study. We're making the clothes, and we're going to embroider the name of our Yangshan Restaurant on the chest of each piece with golden thread. From now on, wherever we go, it's like advertising. When customers come to our restaurant and see how neat and professional we are, they'll be impressed before they even have a meal."

Lu Xun Huan clapped his hands and said, "The boss lady is truly born to be a boss lady. She's extremely smart and sees things clearly."

He added, "These are all necessary investments to expand the reputation of Yangshan Restaurant and to enhance its standards and quality. Even if you raise the prices by 20%, I, Lu Suifeng, guarantee that the restaurant will still be full every day."

The boss was overjoyed when he heard this: "Okay, okay, Brother Lu, it's settled. I'll go and count the number of people and everyone's sizes, and report them to the tailor shop this afternoon. Your tailor shop must make it for me within five days."

Lu Xunhuan gave a thumbs up: "Boss, you are very decisive and you really know how to do business. Don't worry, I will definitely deliver on time."

The boss then said, "Brother Lu, just tell us about your advanced theories...concepts. Don't go to other stores, okay?"

Lu Xun Huan touched his chin and said, "Ah, but I hope more people will ask me to make clothes for them. Only then can my income increase."

The boss lady hurriedly said, "Brother Lu, we won't treat you unfairly. From now on, we will give you a bonus privately every month, okay?"

Lu Xunhuan hesitated and said, "This..."

The boss said, "Don't worry, Brother Lu, we will never tell the boss of your tailor shop."

He stood up and said, "Come on, brother, it's almost noon, I'll treat you to a meal."

An hour later, Lu Xunhuan came out of the restaurant after having eaten and drunk a lot.

The boss and his wife personally saw him out.

The proprietress handed him a deposit of one hundred taels, and reminded him: "Brother, don't forget to come and teach everyone to dance tomorrow."

Lu Xun Huan nodded: "Boss, for the guys, we can't just have men, we need beautiful women too, because the customers are both men and women. Besides, with beautiful women dancing, the effect will be..."

He raised his eyebrows: "You know."

The lady boss smiled and said, "I understand. I'll hire a beautiful lady right away."
