Reborn 99 Days Later, Becoming a Landlady and Getting into Tsinghua and Peking Universities

"H-How is it? Is it pretty?"

Hua Antao's fingers, hanging limply at her sides, clenched nervously around the fabric of her clothes.

While still choosing styles, Hua Lichu looked up and her eyes lit up instantly.

"Oh my god! Sis, you're so beautiful!"

Hua Lichu's outfit for her sister consisted of a black and white striped sweater camisole, paired with a navy blue puff-sleeved sweater cardigan, dark wide-leg pants, and platform sneakers. It was both warm and stylish for the early autumn weather!

In addition, Hua Antao's fair skin and tall figure added a touch of dazzling brilliance to the crowded and narrow shop.

Her younger sister's blunt words made Hua An Tao blush instantly, and she retorted:

"Keep your voice down, I'm your older sister, you must think I'm pretty!"

Although she said that, Hua Antao felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey.

Hua Lichu retorted, "No way! Grandpa, isn't my sister pretty?"

Hua Yuansheng grinned broadly, nodding repeatedly, "Beautiful! Beautiful!"

Hua Antao's ears turned red.

She stomped her foot: "I'm not talking to you anymore."

She turned to go into the fitting room, but Hua Lichu grabbed her.

"Boss, do you have any floral silk scarves?"

The proprietress stared blankly, mouth agape, even stopping her knitting. Only after Hua Lichu called out to her did she snap out of it and nod frantically.

Yes! I'll get it for you!

Hua Lichu tied the floral silk scarf around her sister's head like a hairband, took two steps back, touched her chin, and felt that something was still missing.

"Boss, how much is this young lady's outfit for one set?"

When the proprietress saw that a customer had arrived, her face lit up with a smile. She greeted the customer with a smile and didn't forget to tell Hua Lichu, "Take your time, don't rush, try it slowly!"

Hua Lichu: "..."

That wasn't your attitude just now!

Ten minutes ago, Hua Lichu left and then returned.

When Hua Lichu asked to try on the clothes, the proprietress's face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

"You can't try on clothes here! It's not just our shop, none of the shops on this street say you can try on clothes."

Hua Lichu glanced at the curtain behind the proprietress and knew that the proprietress thought she didn't want too little stuff and was too lazy to bother.

After much pleading, coaxing, and even offering incentives, the proprietress reluctantly nodded, shifted her position, moved her chair, and made way for the fitting room at the back.

It's called a fitting room, but it's really just a small space enclosed by a piece of cloth.

Compare that to the proprietress now; indeed, profit blinds people!

"Pear, shall I go change my clothes?"

"Why change? Just wear it like this! It looks great on you!"

"what!"

Just then, Hua Lichu's eyes suddenly lit up; she knew what was missing!

"Pear, should I change? We'll be walking around outside later, I... I'm embarrassed..."

Seeing Hua Antao's insistence, Hua Lichu could only nod.

After Hua Antao changed her clothes and came out, Hua Lichu ordered the items according to the outfit she had in mind.

Since they were all given wholesale prices, there was no room for negotiation.

When it came time to calculate the money, the proprietress remembered the secondhand clothes she had just sold and readily rounded down the price.

He also invited Hua Lichu to come and patronize his business often.

Hua Lichu paused in her steps: "Boss lady, do you have a phone? If I run out of stock and it's inconvenient for me to come over, how can I contact you to get the goods?"

Where are you from?

"Tahara City."

“We have our delivery drivers over there, and they can send it to you together. However, you will have to pay for the shipping yourself.”

"Of course! How can I contact you? Do you have a phone number?"

The proprietress found a notebook and wrote a number on it with a pen:

"I don't have such a precious thing as a telephone!"

"Hey! This is the phone number for the nearest grocery store. If you need to buy supplies, just call and tell them you're looking for me."

"Row!"

Walking straight ahead to the tenth shop, Xu Yaozu, who had already chosen his clothes, saw the three of them finally arrive and waved frantically, shouting, "I'm here!"

As soon as Hua Lichu walked up to him, Xu Yaozu held up the coat in his hand: "How about this?"

"Why don't you give it a try? Boss, we need to pick up some stock, can we try on the styles?"

The owner of this shop is also a woman.

Judging from their appearance, they were in their thirties. As soon as Hua Lichu said she wanted to buy some goods, they immediately nodded and let them go in to try on the clothes.

While Xu Yaozu went inside to try on clothes, Hua Lichu wandered around the store a few more times and selected quite a few styles.

That's right, she's not only going to sell women's clothing, but also men's clothing.

It's often said that money from women and children is the easiest to earn.

Those 15 or 6-year-old boys are children too!

Although Xu Yaozu is not 1 meters tall, he is 178 cm tall. With his good body proportions, when he changes into clothes, he looks handsome!

Xu Yaozu looked at himself in the mirror, looking quite presentable—or rather, quite presentable—and was very satisfied.

He boasted smugly, "Am I handsome?"

Hua Lichu retorted, "It's the clothes that are pretty."

"That's because I have good taste!"

Seeing that Xu Yaozu had been taking pictures for 3 minutes and was still obsessed with his own handsomeness, Hua Lichu pushed him in annoyance.

"You spent so long choosing, and this is the only one you picked? Anything else?"

Hua Lichu combined the styles she and her sister had chosen with the styles Xu Yaozu had chosen himself, creating a few outfits that she was most satisfied with, and then had Xu Yaozu try them on.

Xu Yaozu looked reluctantly at the short jacket that Hua Lichu had tossed aside and muttered, "That one was fine too, why don't you want it?"

"It's good, but it's too trendy; not everyone can accept it."

"This is our first time selling clothes, and we're not very familiar with the market, so we definitely need to test the waters first and choose styles that most people can accept." Hua Lichu leaned closer to Xu Yaozu and explained in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Xu Yaozu tossed his hair back and said narcissistically:

"That's true! After all, there are very few people as handsome as me who look good in anything."

Sigh, there's nothing you can do about it, when someone is handsome, anything looks good on them.

Hua Antao couldn't stand it anymore and urged, "Hurry up and try on the clothes!"

Help! How can Xu Yaozu be so narcissistic?

Or is it that all boys are this narcissistic?

Once the styles are finalized, the next step is to calculate how much stock to order.

As for the color, it must be both dirt-resistant and attractive.

As for sizes, you should definitely get all three sizes: small, medium, and large.

But this resulted in a huge expense, far exceeding the initial budget.

I just bought women's clothing, which cost 1500 yuan. I also need to buy jewelry wholesale later.

I only have a little over five thousand yuan in total.

If stability is the priority, then most of the money should not be invested.

Although I'm very confident, what if things don't go as planned?

"How about we take a smaller amount first, and then come back for more when we've sold out?" Hua Lichu hesitated.

She initially only wanted to wholesale some small accessories to resell, and even if she invested money, it wouldn't exceed 2000 yuan.

But now...

Hua Yuansheng pondered for a moment, then spoke:

As the saying goes, the timid starve while the bold feast.

If this goes through, I can buy you both a shop.

Even if he were gone, his two granddaughters could still make a living by collecting rent from the shop.

Seeing the furrowed brows of the Hua Lichu sisters, Hua Yuansheng advised:

"If we can successfully place a order for 5000 units this time, that would be the best outcome."

Even if it doesn't work out, I still have a few hundred yuan left. At worst, I'll just set up a stall during the day!

"How could things get worse than when we first started? If we could do it then, there's no reason we can't now!"

As he spoke, Hua Yuansheng chuckled and said, "I used to lack confidence and was always afraid of problems arising."

But now Grandpa believes that even if I sell fried chicken, I can still support both of you to go to school!

If this works out, you two will each get a shop! Grandpa will be overjoyed!

He had already made up his mind to take advantage of the fact that he could still crawl and work.

He wants to earn as much money as possible for his two children so he can buy them a house.

That way, even if he were gone one day, the two children wouldn't end up like they did during the summer vacation, with nowhere to go and being kicked out of the house.

Hua Antao smiled sweetly: "Let's use all 5000 to buy more goods!"

"Row!"
