CHAPTER 106: CHAPTER 106: PROMOTION AND PAY RAISE BRINGS A BLOOMING SMILE

After all, in Jiang Xin’s heart, she felt that Lin Ye had just come out of his disappointment and was the type who couldn’t stand the slightest stimulus.

So, naturally, she couldn’t let him have any misunderstandings. What if, because of this, he felt inferior?

Actually, Jiang Xin knew that her worries were unnecessary because she knew Lin Ye wasn’t someone who would overthink things.

Anyway, she paid Lin Ye a monthly salary of sixty yuan, and Lin Ye felt that it was quite high and was satisfied.

He even thought that the meals at the State-owned Restaurant were too expensive, so he didn’t want her to bring staff meals for him.

Thinking about it this way, Lin Ye obviously wouldn’t think too much.

But Jiang Xin was delicate in her thinking and understood how to be considerate of others.

So, it’s better to be cautious regardless.

Even if there’s no need to be overly careful, it’s not wrong to be attentive.

After all, putting herself in someone else’s shoes, if she worked for someone and they let her eat leftovers, she would surely be dissatisfied.

Now Jiang Xin was completely putting herself in others’ shoes and thinking for them.

Even though she felt she was overthinking a bit.

When she got to the market entrance, Jiang Xin glanced at the time. It was already 12:30, and if she had lunch, this was a perfect time.

After all, in the morning, when she asked Lin Ye if he had breakfast, he said he already had it.

Moreover, it wasn’t very early when he ate, so this would be the perfect time for him to have his second meal. If the two meals were too close,

his stomach wouldn’t have room, so having it a little later wouldn’t be a big deal.

Once inside the market, Jiang Xin easily found the spot where Lin Ye was selling.

After all, that was a spot they had chosen together, and Jiang Xin had some impression of it, so it didn’t take much effort to find.

When she got to their stall, Lin Ye was still busy. Jiang Xin was genuinely surprised, not expecting the stall’s business to be quite good.

She glanced around at the goods on the stall, scattered about. In just a few hours, quite a few items had already been sold.

Especially, the perfume that Jiang Xin brought as a test had sold three or four bottles, which was a notably good start.

When Jiang Xin walked up to the stall, Lin Ye quickly saw her.

The business this morning was pretty good, plus he had some experience with selling, so he was quite skilled.

Effortlessly, he sold quite a bit. In just three hours or so, he had sold over a hundred yuan worth of goods.

He was just thinking about when Jiang Xin, who had been gone for so long, would come back.

After all, he wasn’t at ease with more than a hundred yuan cash in his pocket. If he lost it, he couldn’t afford to pay for it.

So the cash in his pocket should be there for as short as possible; after all, it didn’t belong to him. Having it in his pocket made him uneasy.

There were so many people in the market, and everyone’s hands were all over the place. In these times, although there weren’t many thieves, it’s hard to guarantee there isn’t a single one.

If someone nearby noticed his stall’s success, they might target the cash in his pocket; it was possible.

Plus, when people came to buy things, they typically had enough change, leaving little need for change.

Most often, people paid the exact amount, minimizing the need for change, saving lots of time.

Lin Ye thought of handing the cash over to Jiang Xin when she got back.

Finally, after waiting for nearly half an hour, he saw Jiang Xin’s silhouette.

Lin Ye instantly breathed a sigh of relief, and recalling the good business today, he quickly opened his mouth to share the good news with Jiang Xin:

"Oh my, boss, you’re finally here. Our stall’s business today is pretty good."

"Look, we’ve already sold nearly a third of the items. I think by four o’clock this afternoon, we can sell out completely."

Lin Ye had some confidence in himself, having learned a set of familiar sales pitches. When people came to their stall to look at things, he would proactively promote the items.

When talking, his words were agile, introducing the purpose of items and letting them smell them. If someone liked them, they would naturally purchase them.

Over these few hours, he felt his progress was swift.

Of course, it couldn’t have been possible without Jiang Xin’s high-quality, low-cost goods; ultimately, it was a joint effort to improve.

After hearing Lin Ye’s words, Jiang Xin silently raised her eyebrows.

Earlier, entering the market, Jiang Xin immediately glanced down at the stalls. Since she moved those items from the space, she knew the stock.

So, a cursory glance told her how much had been sold in those few hours.

Jiang Xin was naturally very satisfied, as today’s sales, compared to the usual, were notably good.

Moreover, they were relatively new products, and surprisingly, market-goers had a high acceptance.

Especially the perfumes, selling so many bottles was truly beyond Jiang Xin’s expectation.

"Good job, keep it up."

"If the sales exceed the target, there will be a commission at the end of this month, and you’ll get a bonus."

Lin Ye was truly shocked by her words; he hadn’t expected that his sixty-yuan-a-month salary was already quite high. He felt quite embarrassed about it.

Yet today he heard Jiang Xin say there would be a bonus if the performance was good at month’s end, making Lin Ye so delighted he was about to bloom.

Coincidentally, after he sent off the last customer in hand, he just stood there silly, grinning.

His silly happiness made Jiang Xin laugh.

But Jiang Xin understood; after all, no one feels unhappy hearing about promotions and raises.
