Gu Ning and Cao Wenxin sat down in the lounge, and someone served them tea at once.
The moment they walked inside, Gu Ning glanced around the store. It wasn't very large, only about 20 square meters. There were also gowns, and some dresses that could be used as formal wear. There weren't many formal gowns, only about 20 of them, but their styles were indeed as beautiful as Cao Wenxin said. Gu Ning liked most of them anyway.
Every gown here was designed and made by Yu Zi herself.
Because it was a small store, it was impossible to have a factory that produced clothes. Moreover, most of the gowns were custom-made and could only be made after a customer made an order. These were just samples.
Of course, if a customer wanted one, they could directly buy it, but most of them preferred tailor-made gowns, because they were more suitable.
"Your gowns aren't bad. I'll take a look around first," Gu Ning said to Yu Zi, then walked to look at the gowns.
After a round, Gu Ning pointed at a gown and asked, "What's the size of this one? Is it suitable for me?"
Yu Zi was struck dumb for a second. She didn't know whether Gu Ning was going to buy a dress or not, but she still said with enthusiasm, "This is a small size. Miss Gu, do you want to try it?"
Saying that, she walked to Gu Ning.
"No, thanks. I'll take this one." Gu Ning didn't try it on or ask about the price, but bought it without hesitation.
Hearing that, Yu Zi wasn't excited, but surprised. She wasn't surprised that Gu Ning wanted to buy a gown, but she didn't expect that Gu Ning would buy it without hesitation.
It was the first time that Yu Zi had seen such a straightforward customer.
However, if Gu Ning didn't try it on, wasn't she afraid that it wouldn't fit?
It was winter, and everyone was wearing coats, so Yu Zi couldn't see Gu Ning's figure, and she didn't know whether it fit her.
If it was a normal gown, it wouldn't be a big deal, but it was a close-fitting gown.
"Ningning, don't you want to have a try?" Cao Wenxin was also surprised and walked over at once.
Which woman didn't try on clothes for a long time before deciding? But Gu Ning didn't even try.
"No need. I know my own size," Gu Ning said.
Since Gu Ning said so, Yu Zi wasn't worried anymore. "Sure, I'll pack it for you right now."
Yu Zi soon realized that Cao Wenxin wasn't just passing by, but actually brought her friend here to look at the gowns. Perhaps Cao Wenxin was worried that Cao Wenxin might feel embarrassed if her friend didn't like the gowns, so she didn't tell Cao Wenxin about it.
Yu Zi took off the gown, then went to the counter to pack it for Gu Ning.
"The price of this gown is 68000 yuan. Since Wen Xin brought you here, I'll give you a 20% discount." As she spoke, she counted on the calculator. "54400 yuan."
"Sure." Gu Ning took out her credit card and gave it to Yu Zi.
Yu Zi was struck dumb for a second. Why didn't Gu Ning buy a dress that cost tens of thousands of yuan? She must be rich!
In fact, Yu Zi wasn't aware of Cao Wenxin's family background. Cao Wenxin didn't hide it from her on purpose, but they weren't close friends, so there was no need for her to tell Yu Zi about her family background.
However, Cao Wenxin was also the same when it came to gowns. She didn't even blink when she spent hundreds of thousands of yuan on gowns, so Gu Ning knew that Cao Wenxin was from a rich family, but she didn't know how rich she was.
"Ningning, can you wait for me here? I need to go to the ladies' room," Cao Wenxin said to Gu Ning because she suddenly felt uncomfortable in her stomach.
"Sure, go ahead," Gu Ning said.
After swiping her credit card, Yu Zi invited Gu Ning to have a rest in the lounge, and they chatted with each other.
"Miss Yu, I heard from Wenxin that you designed and tailored all these gowns by yourself," Gu Ning complimented Yu Zi.
"Yes! I majored in fashion design in college, and I'm especially fond of gowns, "Yu Zi said.
"Your business must be very good, right?" Gu Ning asked. She obviously knew the answer to that question for a reason.
A touch of sadness flashed in Yu Zi's eyes, but she still maintained a gentle smile on her face. "Actually, it's not very good. I only have four or five orders a month. After deducting the capital, I can barely afford the rent, salary, and daily expenses."
Because Gu Ning was Cao Wenxin's friend, Yu Zi didn't hide the truth from Cao Wenxin.
"If your business continues to be like this, do you still want to continue your business? I like your designs very much, and I'll definitely buy more in the future, "Gu Ning said.
"It's my honor to have Miss Gu's approval. Although it's a little stressful, it's my favorite industry after all. As long as I don't lose money, I'll continue to do it. However, I can't always live on just because I like it, so I'll change my career if I can't manage it anymore, "Yu Zi said. She wasn't blindly pursuing what she liked.
After a short pause, Yu Zi continued, "No matter whether I'll continue to run this gown store in the future, Miss Gu, if you want gowns, you can contact me at any time, and I can design and tailor them for you."
Even if she couldn't run her gown business in the future, she could still work part-time. Only an idiot would give up such a good opportunity to make money.
"I have an idea to make this gown store a success. I'm not sure whether it'll become a first-tier brand, but I'm confident that it'll become a second-tier or third-tier brand. Miss Yu, I just don't know whether you're willing to believe me," Gu Ning said.
"What?" Hearing that, Yu Zi was slightly surprised. Her eyes lit up, but she didn't doubt Gu Ning's words. "Do you have an idea? What is it? "
Although Yu Zi doubted Gu Ning's ability because of her age, she wasn't arrogant enough to deny it. No matter what Gu Ning's idea was, it wouldn't hurt to listen to it.
In fact, Yu Zi clearly understood that she needed to spend a lot of money, resources, publicity, endorsements, cooperation with businessmen, etc. However, she didn't have the resources to do so.
"I think so. Your designs are very good, and I have the intention to enter the clothing industry. Therefore, if you're willing to, I can invest in your company. I'll handle the resources, publicity, endorsements, and cooperation with businessmen, and you'll be responsible for the design and management of Charm. As for your remuneration, you'll still be the founder of the brand. You only need to design, and I'll give you 20% of the shares. What do you think? "Gu Ning said with a serious face.
