43: Chapter 44 Side Store

An Xin's clothing store hadn't even started yet, but it already had grand ambitions, aiming to be mentioned in the same breath as those well-known foreign high-end brands.

This was biting off more than they could chew; they weren't even afraid of bursting from overeating.

Chu Xinxin looked coldly at Zhou Bin on the side and said, "What, do you have an opinion on our ideas? If we don't set a grand goal for what we do, should we learn from you and live our lives in a muddle?"

Zhou Bin was the second son of the Zhou Family. Above him was an older brother who had graduated from a prestigious university and created miracles as soon as he entered the business world, overshadowing him.

Although the brilliance of the eldest son of the Zhou Family had already enveloped the entire family, making people only hear of the eldest young master of the Zhou Family and not the second young master.

But in this, there was no lack of reasons on Zhou Bin's own part!

After knowing he couldn't compare to his older brother, he began to give up on himself and became idle and incompetent. Even the school he was currently attending was only possible because the Zhou Family had sponsored it.

The parents of the Zhou Family were not biased; they were all their own children, so how could there be any talk of bias?

The Zhou Family had previously given Zhou Bin certain business resources, wanting him to try and achieve something.

But Zhou Bin only wanted to wait for dividends and did not participate in any business battles at all.

Even the resources given by the Zhou Family were squandered completely by him.

Coupled with the fact that Zhou Bin ran rampant in school and did no good deeds, his reputation had spread. When the Zhou Family had no other choice, Zhou Bin was invisibly abandoned by the Zhou Family.

It would be one thing if he was decadent himself, but he also wanted to pass this atmosphere onto others; it was truly ridiculous and pathetic!

"Why bother paying attention to these irrelevant people and wasting your time for nothing?"

An Xin lazily yawned and said with a tone of comfort.

Zhou Bin's face flushed red; his family affairs were now being treated as gossip and casually dragged out to be mocked.

He couldn't bear to be angry at Chu Xinxin, so he could only mock An Xin, "Your ambitions are higher than the sky, but your fate is thinner than grass. I'd like to see what kind of achievements you can make; just don't end up losing everything in the end!"

"Naturally, I can't compare to you, who was given a business fund with a small goal, yet ended up coming back with a mountain of debt."

An Xin chuckled and spoke slowly and leisurely.

The reason Zhou Bin gave up was precisely because he had no achievements in business.

Projects that everyone else rejected, he embraced eagerly, even sparing no expense to pour huge sums of money into them, only to return like a stray dog in the end.

In the previous life, this matter had become a joke in the mouths of countless people, leading to a drop in the Zhou Family's stock.

Gao Qilan stood on the side, feeling uneasy and restless, listening to their discussion.

Things like business and networking investments were just too distant for her, making it impossible for her to integrate into their atmosphere.

"Can you leave? I don't think our current atmosphere is suitable for you to be here!"

Chu Xinxin said mercilessly, directly wanting to kick Zhou Bin out.

Zhou Bin widened his eyes in disbelief.

Even if the Zhou Family had already abandoned him, he was still a legitimate second young master.

Never before had anyone dared to drive him away like this.

This was no different from trampling his face into the ground and even grinding it with a few steps.

"Fine, you're really something. I'll just wait to see you run such a big shop into bankruptcy!"

Zhou Bin left indignantly.

Gao Qilan walked to the side silently and said, "I don't really understand your cooperation, let me go out and pour you some water!"

An Xin shook his head, "No need. Later, I intend to hand this shop over to you to manage, so it's good to come and learn a thing or two."

Gao Qilan pointed at herself in disbelief, "Let me learn? I can't do it. I have never been exposed to these things before."

An Xin's trust in her touched Gao Qilan deeply.

But she also knew her own capabilities; they were completely unrelated to the cooperation at hand, and even her major was not in business.

This kind of thing isn't something you can learn just because you want to; it requires a certain amount of talent.

"In business, I have seen many geniuses. Relying on their own skills, even if they have never been exposed to these things, they can get the hang of it immediately. But there are also fools like Zhou Bin, who, despite having sufficient learning conditions provided by his family, still managed to go bankrupt."

Chu Xinxin comforted her.

"Since you don't want to get involved in these things, how about coming to be a model for me?"

Chu Xinxin looked Gao Qilan up and down and said excitedly.

"I think this is feasible."

Before Gao Qilan could refuse, An Xin had already nodded and agreed to the matter first.

In the previous life, the reason Gao Qilan became an internet celebrity was initially because her figure caught the eye of a talent scout, leading from modeling to becoming an influencer.

Moreover, An Xin also felt that with Gao Qilan's current figure, being a model was more than enough.

"Can I really do it? Won't I embarrass you?"

Models walk on the front lines of the glamorous fashion industry!

Although Gao Qilan didn't think she could do it, she was still extremely yearning for it.

"Of course you can. You definitely have the best body proportions I've ever seen, and your looks are also extremely outstanding. It would be a waste to just have you be a model; you could even go into acting."

Chu Xinxin was not bragging out of thin air.

The two major elements of a model are face and figure. Gao Qilan was not valued at home, and although she wasn't skin and bones, she was extremely slender, completely meeting the standards of a model.

"Then I'll give it a try."

Gao Qilan looked at An Xin as if seeking help. Seeing that An Xin's eyes were full of encouragement, she finally made up her mind and nodded.

"That's right. What was that about the promotional methods you mentioned earlier?"

An Xin had only said a sentence or two about the promotional methods just now, but Chu Xinxin had already glimpsed a certain business opportunity from it.

If these methods could be used in this shop, it would be a great opportunity.

"First, run advertisements. Don't offer any discounts; at most, give away some small gifts. Don't lower your standards before the shop even opens."

These rich people are not short of money, and they don't value those so-called discounts. What they want is the privilege that others cannot afford and that only they possess.

That sense of superiority is enough for them to spend lavishly to pay for themselves.

"Besides the quality and fit of the clothes, our main selling point will be service. I want this shop to be profitable in the first month."

An Xin stated his ambitious declaration directly. Chu Xinxin looked at An Xin in disbelief, even doubting her own ears.

Was An Xin really not crazy to expect profit in the first month?
