In the days that followed, Caroline's life still focused on her job as a salesperson.Except for going out to eat and shopping with a few colleagues every Saturday, she spends most of her time at home reading magazines and newspapers.

In addition, Caroline also began to sort out some clothing and fashion information extracted from magazines.When I have time, I will also think carefully about what clothing styles and popular elements of later generations in my impression can be used in the present.Occasionally, she would also try to draw some simple pictures, and the stick figures she used to teach children English part-time at the beginning also came in handy.

Fresh collocations, including trying different colors, can sometimes make customers' eyes shine and they can make a purchase decision instantly. Caroline has already tasted a little bit of sweetness and decided to dig deeper into her own advantages.

But this is not an easy task. Caroline has never been engaged in related majors in her previous life, and she did not pay special attention to fashion trends in the past, let alone elements suitable for 100 years ago.She often thought hard for a long time but couldn't come up with a few points, and finally had to admit that she had to calm down, and she could carry paper and pencil with her in the future, and write down whenever she thought of it.

The disadvantage of using a pencil is that it is easy to blur, and the current paper is not fine enough, Caroline often worries when taking notes.But now the price of the pen is not cheap, and it is easy to leak ink when carrying it, so she has no choice but to make do with it first.

The summer is coming to an end, and some rich people who go on vacation are about to return to Chicago. Colleagues in the mall say that there will be a small peak of shopping at that time.Other than that, there's nothing new lately.

Drouet, who impressed Caroline before, came to the store again later, but this time he came alone, and Caroline was in charge of receiving him.

Seeing that Drouet didn't mention Fiona who came together last time, she pretended not to remember, and just asked Drouet what kind of lady he was going to buy a gift for.

"It's a girl as young and beautiful as you, Caroline." Drouet was still as suave as he thought he was.

But to be honest, although this man often runs the train with his mouth full, he doesn't do anything too extreme. He seems to have the ability to detect other people's emotions. Seeing that Caroline has been dealing with him business-like, the wisecracks have become less .

In the end, Drouet bought a women's hat and a pair of knitted gloves with small pearls, and asked Caroline to wrap them in a gift box, and asked for a small card with "To my dearest girl" , and then he left with the box, as if he went to the clothing area to continue shopping.

"I don't know if Ms. Fiona knows that her old friend may have a new love," Caroline couldn't help but said to Vivian who was standing together.

"Fiona doesn't really care. For a rich woman like her, a lover is just an adjustment in life." Vivienne teased.

With the increase of work experience, Caroline became more and more proficient in hat accessories sales.Even if you encounter a slightly difficult customer, you can quickly handle it independently.

But at the same time, Caroline discovered another problem. Her sales work seemed to be entering a bottleneck period.

The number of customers who come to the store is almost fixed. Although the average weekly sales fluctuate, it is difficult to increase significantly in the short term.The range of target customers of Meisi Department Store is so large, and this is not something that Caroline can change through her own efforts.

What's more, Caroline and Vivienne have always maintained the original customer reception method, that is, the two take turns to receive customers. Caroline's old customers who have been to the store before work will be received by Vivienne first.

From the first day when she became a full-time employee, when she was working at Vivienne, as long as Caroline was not busy, she would observe and learn from Vivienne, and also memorize the names and faces of customers by the way. Of course, Vivienne acquiesced.

Soon Caroline discovered that in this way, Vivienne sometimes received several old customers in the store in a row, even if the new customers of this day were all received by Caroline, in the end, Vivienne The number of customers he receives is nearly half more than his own, and in fact, many "old customers" are not very familiar with Vivienne.

Caroline wanted to bring it up a long time ago, but her sales ability was not good a few weeks ago, and Vivienne helped her a lot, so she didn't think about how to bring it up so that there would be no estrangement between the two of them.

More than a month has passed, and Caroline's work ability has improved rapidly.Before getting off work that day, Vivian received three customers in a row, and Caroline felt it was time to have a frank talk with Vivian.

"Vivienne, I think we should talk about taking turns to receive customers." Caroline deliberately waited until everyone had left the staff lounge before speaking.

"Huh?" Vivian showed a puzzled look, "What are you talking about?"

"Before, you agreed with me to take turns receiving customers. We have been implementing this method in the past few weeks, but maybe you haven't noticed that this will cause a little problem." Caroline said tactfully.

"Is there any problem? Let me think about it. Our little Karl didn't make an order today. Are you a little disappointed?" Vivian untied the headband that tied her hair, shook her head left and right, and the ends of her hair were An arc was drawn in the air, and the hairpin that was still on it fell to the ground.

Caroline picked up the hairpin and handed it to her, "You can tease me as much as you want, but you also know that this method is a bit unfair, right? There are not many customers who are not received, but the 'regular customers' who have been to the mall Quite a few, every time you come to the store, you give priority to reception, theoretically the next one should be received by me, but often the next one is still a regular customer in the store. Just like before."

"This afternoon is special, and it's not like this usually." Vivian took the hairpin and said, "But what you said makes sense, I guess, you stare at me every day when you have nothing to do, isn't it even that we receive a few people each day? Customer, have you written down how many orders you made?" She smiled slyly when she said this, making Caroline blush a little.

After working together for so long, Caroline felt that Vivienne was a person who liked to talk openly, so she nodded and admitted directly. "The number of customers you received in the past half month is probably nearly half more than mine."

"Okay," Vivian shrugged, "but you should know that our first consideration is to sell more products, right?"

"I know, that's why I waited until the sales ratio between the two of us was about the same before I came to you." Caroline stared at Vivienne, her gray-blue eyes blinking under the curly eyelashes,

"And have you ever considered that almost all the recent new clients have been received by me, so that in the long run, your chances of receiving clients will also decrease? Instead, I will receive more clients. So I have a Thoughts, I want to discuss with you."

"Say it," Vivienne hugged her shoulders and made an expression of listening attentively.

"Most of the other counters come in rotation, so we still have two people take turns to guide customers, regardless of whether they have been to the store before. But if the customer comes to you directly when entering the store, it is not counted as a rotating quota. Of course, if there are customers who come to me directly in the future, it will not be counted." Caroline said. "We can try it first and see how it works."

Vivienne frowned for a while, thought for a while, "Okay, let's do this!", she tapped Caroline's chest, "You really have a lot on your mind."

Although Vivienne said so, Caroline heard that she was not angry at all, so she simply made a flattering gesture to tease her,

"Vivian, you are so kind, I knew you would agree after listening to me! You are simply a little angel!"

In fact, Caroline dared to be so direct. First, Vivienne had a straightforward temper and would consider the long-term development of her work. Second, Caroline recently learned that the apartment Vivienne lived in now belonged to her brother.Vivian's brother and sister-in-law went to New York to start a small business in the first half of the year, and the vacant house was left for Vivian to live in for free.So this girl is now living a more comfortable life among her colleagues.

"Tsk," Vivien grabbed Caroline's cheeks with both hands and rubbed them, "Look at your pretty little face, and you are so sweet-talking, but you come home after work every day, running with the rabbit Just as fast, you don't seem to have gone out with anyone except for everyone's party? I can't believe that no boys chase you."

"Well... I'm not interested in dating, but work is more interesting," Caroline turned her head and pretended to be serious.

"It's really helpless, all the girls here are dead-headed." Although Vivienne said so, her tone clearly said, "Fortunately, we girls are not stupid."

Caroline is really curious. In her impression, most girls at the end of the nineteenth century still regard marriage as the destination of life.The unmarried colleagues around her also talked about love and boys from time to time, but most of them were single all the time, so they asked Vivian.

"How should I put it, among our colleagues on the first floor, except for the few of us, they were either already women when they came here, or they already had fiancés, just like your counter, the people who left before were engaged for a few years , I will only leave when I get married." Vivienne explained,

"The main reason is that we usually come into contact with rich and famous people, so our horizons will become higher unconsciously. It is not so easy to find a suitable and suitable marriage partner."

"Is there no romance between colleagues? Aren't there a lot of guys on the second and third floors?" Caroline asked. Many companies prohibit internal dating, but she has never heard of this rule since she came here.

"Yes, but then someone had a bad quarrel. Ms. Green said that she can ignore our private affairs, but if anyone makes a quarrel again in the future, both of them will be fired together. After that, there will be fewer."

The two left the lounge while chatting, no one paid attention to the back of the cabinet, the door of the bathroom was ajar.

When the sound of their footsteps faded away, the people inside opened the door and came out.

Soon, she changed into a silk dress decorated with lace, took out an almost brand new hat and gloves embroidered with pearls from her own cabinet, and left with brisk steps.
