Jianyan would sometimes come up with some rather strange ideas. Lin Zhen, who thought he had already mastered the ability to be invulnerable, was still stunned this time when he heard this: "What?"
Jane repeated, "I'm going to sell clothes at Xingguang Department Store."
"Should I sell clothes or buy clothes?"
"Sell clothes! Sell clothes! Sell clothes!"
Lin Zhen: "... "
This time she finally believed it. To be precise, it was Jane who said she was going to work at Xingguang Department Store selling clothes.
"Nothing wrong with that." She felt that she could no longer understand Jane's intentions. "Could you tell me why you want to go there to sell clothes?" Was it to get close to the eldest son of the He family? But she was allergic to men, wasn't she!
To put it briefly: "Didn't I mention to you before that I wanted to draw a female protagonist in my new work who works as a salesperson in a department store?"
"Yes, I have mentioned it." Lin Zhen nodded. The comics of Jian Yan are all related to clothing. In the first part, the main character is a costume designer; in the second part, the main character is a model; in the third part... the main character is a clothes seller. There's nothing wrong with that.
"So I decided to go to the scene to collect materials."
“……” Lin Zhen finally connected with her brain waves. "If you want to gather materials, just interview two store clerks. There's no need for you to go and sell yourself?"
Jian Yan's dark eyes fixed on her. Lin Zhen cleared her throat and said, "I mean, selling clothes."
To put it simply: "Of course it is necessary. Everyone's perception of things is different. How could what one extracts from others' experiences be the same as what one personally experiences?"
She spoke so convincingly that Lin Zhen was almost convinced: "Well, even if you want to sell clothes, how could you just walk in and be admitted to such a big company as Starlight Department Store?"
"Oh, it's quite a coincidence. The head of their personnel department is my university classmate. She said that the end of the year is usually a busy time and she can arrange for me to be posted there."
…… When did all this happen? Lin Zhen steadied her nerves and continued to persuade her: "But can you sell the clothes? Don't cheat your fellow students!"
Jianyan proudly patted his chest: "You can rest assured about this. After I'm gone, their sales champion will have to be replaced. Hahaha."
Lin Zhen: "... "
Teacher, you seem to be really enjoying yourself.
"Never mind. Anyway, I said I'd give you a month's leave. Do whatever you like." Lin Zhen put on the high-heeled shoes she had left at the door and left.
Jianyan yawned, threw the milk carton in her hand into the trash can and went upstairs to sleep.
The time she had agreed with her schoolmates for her new job interview was two days later. That day she got up very early and walked barefoot on the fluffy carpet to the cloakroom to start choosing her clothes.
Since she was going to be a salesgirl, she couldn't wear expensive clothes. Briefly looking at the wardrobe in front of her, she turned around and opened the one behind her. The wardrobe there contained mostly affordable clothes, but almost all of them cost over a thousand yuan. She picked out a baby-collar bubble-sleeve shirt, a black patent leather sleeveless dress, and finally paired it with a long coat with a dark check pattern.
Looking at herself in the full-length mirror for a while, Jane gathered her long hair and casually tied it up at the back of her head. After finishing her makeup, she went downstairs for breakfast and then left home with her bag.
When she reached the garage, she hesitated for a moment. Would it be too conspicuous if she drove the car to sell the clothes? But if she didn't drive, she would have to squeeze into the subway instead...
Thinking of the crowded scene on the subway, she furrowed her brows slightly but still opened the door. Her car was just for commuting and wasn't a luxury one. It should be fine.
Xingguang Department Store is located in the busiest area of City A. The continuous flow of vehicles and the never-ending stream of people are the most common sights here. After arriving, Jin Jian first parked the car and then, following the address given to her by her classmates, she found the Personnel Department.
She knocked gently twice at the door and someone inside called her to come in.
Jian Yan pushed the door open and saw the familiar face in her memory: "Zhou Wenwen!"
She gave a shout. The person called Zhou Wenwen raised her head and there was a hint of surprise in her eyes: "Oh my goodness! Isn't this the beautiful Miss Jane? You've become even more charming!"
Briefly, she raised her eyebrows in a self-satisfied manner and gladly accepted the praise from her old friend.
Zhou Wenwen stood up from her desk and gave her a few careful glances. "You've been doing quite well these years."
Jianyan waved her hand and said, "Not at all. After all, this is still asking you to help out."
Zhou Wenwen smiled and picked up a badge to hand it to her: "The badges have all been made for you. You can report to Dream Wardrobe today."
Jian Yanwei widened her eyes: "Dream Wardrobe?"
Dream Wardrobe is a very distinctive store in Xingguang Department Store. There, you can purchase clothes of any brand in Xingguang Department Store. The sales staff there have a keen sense of fashion and are well-versed in matching techniques.
The existence of this store has solved many guests' problems - some guests don't know what to buy, some don't know how to match the items, and some are simply too lazy to browse through one brand after another.
"Each brand's salespeople are recruited by themselves. Only Dream Closet is staffed by our company's employees," Zhou Wenwen explained to her. "Dream Closet was all planned by Manager He. The staff are all selected by him personally."
Manager He? Is that the He Younger Brother who is often rumored to be someone else's boyfriend? Jane Yi had a little curiosity in her heart, but the main point at hand wasn't this: "The employees of Dream Wardrobe were all personally selected by Manager He? Then how did I get through?"
Thinking of Zhou Wenwen's influence, she just casually filled in her resume. In the work experience section, she directly wrote "Self-employed" without any elaboration.
Zhou Wenwen said, "Actually, Manager He has been on business trips elsewhere these two days. He hasn't had a look at your resume yet... But since you were recommended by me, he let you come here for a try first."
Jianyan felt that the burden on his shoulders was rather heavy. "Don't worry. I will do a good job and never let you down."
Zhou Wenwen smiled and said, "Come on, you're just here to get some materials, right? But Manager He has a good eye. He might not keep you. At that time, I'll think of a way to arrange you elsewhere."

"OK. As long as it's a clothing store, it's fine."
"Alright, I'll tell you about the salary. Although the basic salary during the probationary period is lower than that of regular employees, the sales commission is similar. As long as you sell a lot, you might earn more than regular employees."
Jianyan's eyes immediately shone brightly: "Then I'll have to work even harder."
Zhou Wenwen smiled and said, "Let me take you to the store first."
After she finished speaking, she led Jian Yan out. On the way, she met a male colleague. Seeing Jian Yan, he came up and winked at Zhou Wenwen: "Director Zhou, who is this beautiful lady? Introduce her, please."
Zhou Wenwen said, "The new colleague is not in the same department as you."
"It doesn't matter if we're not in the same department. Anyway, we're all working at Xingguang Department Store." The male colleague smoothed his hair and extended his hand to Jian Yan. "Hello, beautiful lady. I'm Xiao Shao."
Jianyan stepped back a little and nodded at him: "Hello."
Xiao Shao's hand was still hanging in the air, feeling a bit chilly. Zhou Wenwen cleared her throat and said, "This female colleague doesn't like any man touching her."
Xiao Shao frowned at her doubtfully. Jian Yan smiled gently beside her and said, "Actually, I'm much better now. When I was in junior high school, I sent a male classmate to the hospital."
Xiao Shao's hand withdrew rapidly.
"Let's go." Zhou Wenwen continued to lead Jian Yan towards the mall. At this moment, the mall had already opened for business. Zhou Wenwen led her to the Fantasy Wardrobe and called the team leader aside: "This is the new colleague who joined us today, Jian Yan. I'm handing her over to you."
The team leader sized up Jian Yan for a while before nodding to Zhou Wenwen and saying, "OK. Go ahead and do your thing."
Zhou Wenwen gave Jianyan some encouragement again and then left the store. The team leader asked Jianyan, "Have you been to Xingguang Department Store before?"
"Been there."
"So you should have some knowledge about the Fantasy Wardrobe. The sales assistants here don't have to wear uniforms; they all dress in their own casual clothes. Only when you yourself look attractive enough can you give customers confidence." The team leader said this while his gaze swept over Jianyan again. "This outfit of yours is nice. Your income from your previous job must have been quite high, right?"
Jianyan smiled and said, "I don't have many hobbies in general. The only thing I like is clothes. Apart from daily expenses, most of my money is spent on clothes."
"Well, you should have a good knowledge of clothing then." The team leader nodded. "The stores operate on a shift system. Since you came here at this time today, we'll calculate your working hours based on seven hours. You'll be off duty at 5 p.m. and come back here at 8:20 tomorrow. I'll give you a shift schedule later."
"OK. Thank you, team leader."
"Then I'll show you around the store first."
The team leader led Jianyan around the store. While listening to her explanations, Jianyan noted down the areas where each brand was displayed and the styles of the clothes.
"Are you also the salesperson here?" A woman suddenly walked over and said to Jian Yan, "I want to buy this set of clothes on you."
Jian Yanwei was stunned. He wanted to buy her clothes? She thought for a moment and explained to that person, "Sorry, these are my own clothes."
The woman said, "I don't mind. Please take it off and give it to me."
Jianyan pursed her lips slightly. On her first day at work, the first customer she met was such a troublesome one?
The team leader stood aside without saying a word, seemingly wanting to see how Jianyan would handle the situation. However, the man who was beside the woman came up and pulled her aside: "Everyone says it's your own clothes. Why do you need to buy them?"
The woman gave him a cold snort. "What's wrong with her own clothes? I like this one on her." She said, then turned her head to look at Jianyan again, "Set a price, will you?"
Many people in the store were looking this way. Jane casually glanced at the woman in front of her, from head to toe, wearing the new styles of Bunny, Lily & Sa, and Biubiu. The total cost was over 50,000 yuan, for a big customer.
Jianyan's face broke into a natural smile: "All the clothes I have are ones that I've worn and washed several times. How could I sell such old clothes to customers? If you like the style on me, I can recommend some for you, okay?"
The woman raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Sure, but if the one you picked is not good-looking, I'll still buy this one from you."
Jianyan smiled at her and began to help her choose clothes: "This outfit of mine is a mix of a vintage French-style shirt and a patent leather skirt, and I've added some trendy embroidery elements this year." She said as she took out a black motorcycle leather jacket and a pink A-line dress. "Black and pink are the most easily combinable colors that can create a sense of fashion. Mixing the stylish motorcycle leather jacket with the sweet pink dress can create a different romantic atmosphere. The flower embroidery on the skirt adds a touch of retro charm to this outfit."
She held up two pieces of clothing in her hands and then walked over to the counter selling shoes and bags, picking out a pair of black diamond-decorated high-heeled shoes and a bucket bag that was in fashion this year: "The black high-heeled shoes make the entire outfit more complete. Finally, you'll need a unique handbag."
She walked back to the woman with all the things in her hands. The woman took a few glances at the things in her hands and then turned around and headed towards the dressing room. Jane Yan followed her with the things in her arms. Not long after, the woman came out of the dressing room wearing the clothes she had changed.
Those who had been keeping an eye on the situation here made a little noise. Jane briefly admired her own masterpiece and then smilingly pushed the mirror in front of her to the woman.
When she saw herself in the mirror, the woman was momentarily stunned. After a moment, she turned her head to face Jian Yan and said, "Very good. I've bought all of this."
Jianyan's smile became even more sincere: "Thank you for your patronage."
When she was choosing clothes just now, she deliberately picked up expensive brands. This set of clothes cost her around 50,000 to 60,000 yuan. She really loves herself for being so good at making money.
After sending off this major client, Jane's smile on her face hadn't quite faded away when she saw a man leaning against the counter and looking at her.
From an aesthetic perspective alone, this man is very handsome and his dressing style is very refined. He can be the dream lover of most women.
Unfortunately, Jane Yan has male-bashing syndrome.
The man smiled at her and said, "You are the new employee? You have done quite well."
