Chapter 274 - 103: The Uncompromising Ms. Jiang, Lawn Barbecue (2)

Shen Yanzhi was about to leave when Jiang Li smacked her lips. "Actually, never mind. Let’s have them make luosifen. I suddenly have a craving for it."

"Okay, no problem."

After lunch, she checked the clothing store’s sales figures on her phone and discovered they had already broken ten million.

The prices in the store weren’t actually that high. Cheaper items were in the dozens, mid-range items in the hundreds, and the slightly nicer ones in the thousands.

Different prices meant different fabrics.

The custom-made pieces were more expensive, of course. After all, they were one-of-a-kind, bespoke designs.

Unless it was a counterfeit.

The store had basically all types of clothing: sets, dresses, sportswear, formal gowns, maternity wear, and so on.

It was practically a clothing superstore.

Jiang Li immediately shoved her phone in front of Shen Yanzhi and exclaimed, "I can’t believe we made this much on the first day."

Shen Yanzhi shrugged. "New stores always get high foot traffic, and the prices are acceptable to basically everyone. It’s only natural for business to be good."

Jiang Li smacked her lips. "If we could make this much every day, I’d be laughing in my dreams."

’Ten million in sales a day. After deducting labor and costs, the profit would be around four to five million.’

’The biggest costs were really just labor, utilities, and fabrics.’

’After all, the storefront was bought and paid for, and the clothing factory was acquired.’

Although Shen Yanzhi didn’t want to dampen Jiang Li’s spirits, he still told her the truth. "I estimate it’ll be around five or six million per day."

Jiang Li shrugged nonchalantly. "That’s still great."

’When I opened the clothing store, I wasn’t really thinking about making money anyway. I just wanted every girl to be able to have a piece of clothing that was right for her.’

They say good fortune lifts the spirits. After seeing millions in revenue that morning, Jiang Li said gleefully, "I’m going to keep drawing design sketches."

’After all, the clothes were selling so well, which meant people really liked my designs.’

’Since that’s the case, I might as well draw more now, before the baby is born.’

’That way, I can take a good long rest after the baby arrives.’

Jiang Li spent the entire afternoon drawing, producing over forty design sketches in all sorts of styles. She even designed a few sets of postpartum loungewear and pajamas for herself.

Shen Yanzhi, meanwhile, sat quietly by her side, keeping her company. The moment she put down her pen, he immediately brought a glass of water over.

Jiang Li gave Shen Yanzhi a sweet smile and downed the water in one go.

As soon as Jiang Li put the cup down, Shen Yanzhi immediately took her hand and began to massage it.

He chided gently, "Honestly, you... once you start drawing, you’re relentless, completely absorbed, absolutely reckless."

Jiang Li said with a hint of disdain, "I told you to watch fewer short videos, but you never listen. Just listen to the way you talk now."

Shen Yanzhi raised an eyebrow. "I think it’s great. This way, you can’t say I’m not romantic."

Jiang Li pulled her hand away in exasperation and slapped Shen Yanzhi’s arm. "Alright, that’s enough. Let’s go out. Qingbao will be here soon."

Shen Yanzhi offered his arm. "Does my lady require her humble servant’s support?"

Jiang Li played along, placing her hand on Shen Yanzhi’s arm. "Let’s go, Xiao Yan."

"As you command!"

Jiang Li shivered. ’This man is truly hopeless.’

’Ever since I called him unromantic that one time, he started ’studying’ in all sorts of ways. Honestly, I can barely handle it.’

When Zhong Mufeng arrived, she came laden with a huge pile of things.

There were gifts for the baby, and for Jiang Li, too.

Staring at the large and small bags in front of her, Jiang Li was dumbfounded. "Hey, are you running a wholesale business?"

Zhong Mufeng laughed. "This is all thanks to you. My salary is now a stable twenty to thirty thousand a month. I figured since you’re about to give birth, I’d just buy a little bit of everything."

Before transferring to the news department, her monthly salary was only four or five thousand, and she was stuck doing all the dirtiest, most tiring work.

After becoming a news anchor, her monthly salary was twenty to thirty thousand.

Her usual expenses were just groceries, gas for the car, utilities, and her phone bill, so she could still save quite a bit each month.

On top of that, she occasionally took on freelance jobs, so after a few months, she had saved up over four hundred thousand.

Jiang Li said disapprovingly, "This isn’t how you should be spending your money, even if you have it!"

’Her life is finally getting better, and what does she do? She spends all her money on me.’

Zhong Mufeng huffed, "My happiness is priceless."

"Alright, alright."

’What a "my happiness is priceless" indeed.’

Jiang Li hooked an arm around Zhong Mufeng’s neck and said with a sly grin, "In that case, I’m treating you to a night at Sky City."

Zhong Mufeng’s eyes lit up. Come to think of it, she hadn’t been to a bar since transferring to the news department, and she really missed it.
