Rebirth: Solely Cherished by the Devoted Commander novel Chapter 467

Chapter 467: Chapter 494: How Can Business Thrive?

Liu Gang intentionally or unintentionally pinned everything on Ai Mei, saying she was the mastermind and he was just taking the blame, which garnered him quite a bit of sympathy. Apart from Gu Junming and his wife, he wasn’t really snubbed by anyone else.

Liu Gang quietly started going on blind dates, wanting to seize the opportunity to get married quickly, hoping that once the rice was cooked, everything would be easier.

As long as his parents kept an eye on Ai Mei, that would be enough. Besides, with Ai Mei’s personality, she wouldn’t survive in the village for long.

Gu Junming soon found out and sneered, "How shameless to even dare to date!"

"Let him be, it doesn’t concern us." Sun Chan packed her luggage, as the school holidays had begun and it was time to head back to the village for family visits. More preparations were necessary.

However, Gu Junming was still angry: "How can we let someone like that stay in the military? Although Ai Mei is a bit confused and annoying, Liu Gang is despicable. The nature of the two is completely different." Today, he betrays you for profit, and who knows who he’ll betray tomorrow. Moreover, his rank isn’t low. If there’s any disciplinary violation, it would be hard to deal with.

Sun Chan smiled, "There’s nothing we can do about it; you don’t run the military."

Gu Junming frowned and said nothing.

Sun Chan continued, "There’s always going to be unscrupulous people in every field. Moreover, people like that often do quite well. Be cautious when dealing with him in the future. Now hurry up and pack, I have to get to my drawings. Before leaving, I have to complete the new illustrations for Han Dong."

"Alright, I’ll pack, you go draw." Gu Junming knew that fighting with someone like Liu Gang wouldn’t do him any good, so he started thinking about a later strategy.

Sun Chan did not object, watched Gu Junming work, and went to the study to draw, contemplating how her shop had been open for half a year. Business was neither great nor bad—not enough to lose money—but it was far below her expectations, which left her a bit disappointed. Han Dong was also thinking about where the problem lay.

The designs were innovative, the fabric was good, and she offered customization services; the service was excellent, yet sales were poor, leaving Sun Chan really worried.

Sitting in front of the easel, holding the paintbrush, she pondered deeply, frowning slightly. Was it too expensive?

Last month, Wu Dafu’s boutique also opened officially, seemingly intending to compete with them. The pricing was similar, but their business was doing well.

Han Dong said it was normal competition: "Since they didn’t open directly opposite us, we can’t interfere. Even if they did, we have to meet it with a smile. Even if it annoys us, we have to keep going."

Sun Chan felt helpless, "But their performance is said to be quite good. What exactly is the secret?"

"Yes, after all, it’s an old brand. Their clothing brand has been around for about thirty years, right? It’s famous in X City, and we’re new to this industry. Earning public trust takes time. For newcomers like us, managing sales as they are now is already quite good."

Han Dong was not very anxious, but Sun Chan was a bit impatient.

After contemplating for a while, Sun Chan began sketching. This time, she wasn’t drawing clothes but bags, thinking about whether offering a complementary bag with clothing purchases could boost sales. Bags could also be decorative. Designing a leather bag with floral designs, slightly softer material that could be used in winter, wasn’t that a great idea?

She designed several models, with different colors and materials—a large black leather shoulder bag, which could fit many items with simple patterns on it. There was also a dark red backpack, much smaller, meant for young girls. She also created decorative bags with tassels for children, made of canvas, and practical fabric bags for women to use when going grocery shopping.
