Chapter 190

~7 min read 1,363 words

After the college entrance exam applications were submitted, all that was left was to wait for the admission letters.

Qin Tian's life became leisurely once again.

Every morning, he would wake up to help with chores, then study the market, steadily buying and selling in his stock investment account, with his wealth growing day by day.

In the afternoon, if there was nothing to do, he would walk for ten minutes to visit Xia Nuannuan's house, chat with her grandparents, and then go out together to window-shop and take a stroll.

Qin Tian even found time to go to a driving school and sign up.

After all, Yucheng was just a small city, so things like the driver's license test were easier to manage than in Jiangcheng.

On the first day of driving practice, Qin Tian brought two cartons of good cigarettes and two bottles of good liquor.

Naturally, his relationship with the instructor was instantly bridged, and later he showed off his fairly decent driving skills in front of the instructor.

When he left, he asked the instructor to help arrange the test as soon as possible, and indicated that he didn't intend to waste time practicing anymore.

The instructor agreed readily, saying he would notify him directly when it was time for the test.

Over in Jiangcheng, after Qin Tian sent the game competition activity plan to Zhao Mingyuan, Zhao Mingyuan acted with lightning speed and soon began making arrangements.

Nowadays, at the three Tianming Internet Cafes located on Jiangcheng's bustling commercial street and pedestrian street, the "Tianming Cup" League of Legends Grand Challenge is in full swing.

Within the circle of all League of Legends players in Jiangcheng, the popularity of this challenge is getting higher and higher, and the fame of Tianming Internet Cafe has also been thoroughly established as a result.

The number of internet cafe members and the funds on the books are growing at an astonishing rate every day.

Zhao Mingyuan is also busy running around because of this, while Qin Tian, as the other boss, is enjoying being a hands-off manager.

As the days passed, Tang Xiuxia's clothing store on the third floor of the mall was also about to open.

On the evening of the day the store was renovated, Qin Tian called the career woman Wang Lingyue, and the problem of supply was thus smoothly resolved.

For future restocking, his mother would contact the designated person at Wang Lingyue's company; as long as they coordinated by phone, they would arrange for someone to deliver the needed goods.

July 13th was the day Qin Tian and his mother had discussed for the clothing store's opening.

Regarding the name of the clothing store, after his mother had pondered it deeply a few days ago, she proposed naming it "Nuannuan Cabin." Qin Tian expressed his approval and then called to seek Xia Nuannuan's consent.

When Xia Nuannuan learned of this decision over the phone, she was naturally very embarrassed, but she agreed to it later on.

On this morning, both Qin Tian and his mother woke up quite early.

After eating breakfast together, they arrived at the mall.

The mall had only just opened, so naturally there were no customers, and many store employees were busy cleaning.

Nuannuan Cabin hadn't hired any employees yet.

According to his mom, they hadn't earned a single cent yet, so they had to cut costs as much as possible.

As for whether to hire employees later, they would see how business went after the opening.

Qin Tian and his mother took the escalator to the third floor.

Most of these clothing stores in the mall didn't have doors, and the one Tang Xiuxia rented was the same.

Upon reaching the third floor, the first thing that came into view was the clothing store with the "Nuannuan Cabin" sign.

The sign was designed by Qin Tian himself; using some of his painting and design skills, he had turned the four characters into a rather warm and beautiful artistic font.

Standing at the entrance of the clothing store, Tang Xiuxia looked around at the various styles of women's clothing that had been sorted and displayed the day before, a satisfied smile appearing on her face.

"Mom, does it feel like a great accomplishment?"

Qin Tian tilted his head to look at his mother and asked with a chuckle.

Tang Xiuxia nodded slightly, her eyes smiling as she said modestly, "A little bit!"

Qin Tian smiled and said, "Let's get ready first. Nuan Nuan and Aunt Su will be here to help later!"

"Mm!"

Tang Xiuxia nodded with a smile, walked into the store, took a broom from the back, and began to clean.

Qin Tian also went to get a mop to help mop the floor his mother had swept until it was spotlessly clean.

Outside the store on both sides, there were signs standing with posters for the opening event.

The event was also planned by Qin Tian; he didn't choose the method of discount promotions, but instead chose to give corresponding gifts for spending a certain amount.

Doing discount promotions on the day of a new store opening would only cause customers to have resistance when there were no discounts later.

Just as the mother and son were preparing for the opening, the owners or employees of several surrounding clothing stores were watching them, huddled together and gossiping.

"Nuannuan Cabin, the name of this store is a bit strange!"

"Yeah, it feels a bit tacky!"

"The previous store hasn't even been open for half a year, right?"

"Yeah, this one probably won't last long either. Nowadays, if it's not a famous brand store like ours, business can't possibly be good anywhere."

"Where does that store get its clothes? The styles feel quite nice!"

"Don't know! A few pieces are indeed quite good-looking. Boss, why don't you go ask?"

"Forget it, that's a trade secret; they wouldn't tell you even if you asked."

"That's true. That boy is quite handsome!"

"He must be the boss's son. What? Got a crush?"

"Hehe... I wonder if he has a girlfriend!"

Regarding Nuannuan Cabin, which was about to open today, the owners and employees of the surrounding clothing stores had different thoughts.

It wasn't that they all had great hostility; more people were just dismissive or simply watching the spectacle.

【System task triggered: Please assist your mother in ensuring a successful first day of business for the clothing store and strive for higher sales. The reward for this task will increase as sales increase!】

In the mind of Qin Tian, who was mopping the floor, the system task notification sound rang out very suddenly.

Qin Tian was stunned, and after coming to his senses, a thoughtful expression appeared on his handsome face.

Everything that should have been done had already been done, and he didn't intend to rely on this clothing store to earn much money. In the end, opening this store was just so his mother could have an easier job and not be completely idle at home.

But the sudden task meant he had to seriously think about ways to increase sales.

"Xiao Tian, what are you standing there blankly for? Hurry up and mop, customers will be here soon!"

Seeing her son standing there in a daze, Tang Xiuxia immediately began directing him.

Qin Tian gave a helpless, bitter smile and said, "Mom, it's only nine o'clock, okay? Have you ever seen anyone come to the mall to shop for clothes this early?"

"You never know. Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and mop it clean; at least it should be clear enough to use as a mirror."

Tang Xiuxia said in a solemn tone.

"You're really something. We haven't even opened for business yet, and you've already got the full attitude of a boss!"

Qin Tian curled his lips and said.

"That's right!"

Tang Xiuxia put her hands on her hips and said righteously, "Don't underestimate a small boss, okay!"

"The key is, I'm not your employee!"

"You're right, but you're my son, so you should listen to me even more."

"What you said... makes so much sense!"

"Glad you understand!"
