The Happy Life of a Duchess

Shirley is a waitress at a club, and she just got this hard-earned opportunity through one of her ex-boyfriends not long ago.

Although she paid some "physical labor", she also enjoyed happiness from it, not to mention that she was able to get this job of [-] francs a month when she broke up.

She is not demanding, especially knowing that her salary is higher than other waiters, and she can get more consumption with her outstanding appearance, so she naturally feels that the current life is already worth satisfying.

This is a comprehensive club, which undertakes multiple functions such as entertainment and residence at the same time.

In a way, it's a popular club with a lot of upper class, catering to both men and women.

There is a luxurious hall downstairs, and the billiard room and chess and card room in those rooms have gentlemen smoking and playing in them all the year round.

At the other entrance, it provides accommodation for some people traveling to and from Paris. Although board and lodging are available, the level of food is average, but there are a lot of drinks, and the function of providing accommodation services as a hotel is greater.

However, in comparison, there are still gambling, chess and card entertainment venues, which earn more money. Of course, the waiters prefer to go there, so that they can get more consumption.

Shirley, as a young and beautiful lady from a commoner background, can be considered to have taken a lot of advantage in such a job.

The other waitresses only have a monthly salary of six to seven hundred, and she has eight hundred francs, and if she is lucky, she can take turns to the casino a few times a month, and she can get a thousand dollars for tips, and if she is lucky, she can be paid According to a certain gentleman, once you have a short-term and long-term lover, you don't have to worry about jewelry and the like.

Most of the gentlemen here don't mind her maintaining physical relationships with several men at the same time. Anyway, most of the time, they just have a few happy moments occasionally. Those who are willing to "cooperate" with her for a long time are basically "regular customers".

She is still very grateful to her ex-boyfriend of the little foreman for giving her this opportunity. After all, she prefers her current life to living in Paris than marrying a poor worker at home. It is really very happy to be able to live in Paris.

Shirley was originally just a girl in the nearby village who was good at dressing up, but she still couldn't take off her rustic clothes. During this time in Paris, she has experienced a transformation from the inside out.

The prosperity here surpassed all her imagination, and the luxury and luxury of the upper class quickly conquered her completely, even if it was just a small microcosm, she was addicted to it.

Those gorgeous skirts, complicated jewelry, intoxicating Parisian accent... everything is full of her inner desire.

However, as an outsider, she also clearly felt the invisible rejection of her here.

Those local-born colleagues, even if they are not as good-looking as she is, and they don’t take as much tips as she does, are not afraid to use all kinds of words to derogate her and laugh at her, and of course she is very rude to fight back.

But even so, she always felt that there was an invisible distance between herself and everyone.

She also tried to save enough money to go to the hottest Suss store to buy a hat, or secretly observe the dresses of those ladies and ladies to imitate one or two.

But the actual effect was not as she expected. If it wasn't for her good background, good-looking face, and good figure, she might be laughed at even more exaggeratedly.

It was an accident to see that newspaper.

Today, she just heard some nasty women laughing at her behind her back. She knew they were pointing at her clothes, but she didn't even know what was wrong with her clothes. The only thing that was better was In the store she had to change into a uniform——

If you are working on duty in a hotel, you have to wear that white apron.

But if you work in the entertainment area, you can dress up and make yourself look gorgeous and attract the attention of all men.

Their superior leaders took two new newspapers and put them on the display shelves.

Although Shirley actually didn't quite understand the use of this, but in short, because this leader was the one she wanted to hook up with, she took a second look.

Shirley is literate, but she had no interest in those boring magazines and newspapers.

If you want to know the gossip, you will naturally know it when you are chatting with everyone and drinking tea, and it is the latest and more exaggerated and interesting. As for the current political situation or poetry, she is not interested at all and has no way to participate in it. content.

"Ms.?" She looked at it strangely, as if she had been bewitched, she involuntarily took down the magazine.

"what is this?"

This newspaper called "Lady's" was something she was not familiar with. The first thing she saw just now was this strange but particularly attractive name.

Although the leader made up two newspapers, they were actually the same one, and the old one was gone for some reason. Shirley guessed that a customer might have bought it and taken it away when he saw it.

This is also a common thing. Gentlemen often buy newspapers that talk about the current political situation while waiting and then leave.

Therefore, the sales of the display cabinets in their store have always been good. There are only two ways out for this kind of unfamiliar small newspaper, one is to be sold out, and the other is to be ignored.

Looks like this is on the bright side.

Out of curiosity, Shirley planned to take a look or two before starting her work today.

But it seemed to have a strange magic power. This magical influence made her stay there. When she saw the old woman from Chagang coming over, she couldn't let it go.

Shirley knew that this was the newspaper she wanted and needed.

Joyce is a female critic. Although she is famous for a short romance novel, what she prefers to do is to criticize some plays, poems and novels with a sharp but emotional touch. , There are also many readers who like to read her comments very much, which makes her very proud.

When she received a friend's invitation, she was still a little reluctant.

To be honest, she really thinks that a newspaper run by women themselves is a huge gimmick, not to mention whether this newspaper can last until the second issue, but those who are obviously written and organized by men, but But she still has to put on a woman's name and take the opportunity to make money from the ladies, which has made her tireless——

She has seen too many of these things, which are said to be for women or suitable for women, but are actually full of the arrogance of that superior man.

Of course, she has no intention of provoking gender disputes between men and women, but as a female critic whose life and work are not easy, she has suffered some unfair treatment of sex discrimination in all aspects, which makes her very disgusted subconsciously. "Fancy" stuff.

She didn't feel at all that this could really make any great achievements.

But it cannot be denied that because of favors, she received the request, and it is really not good to pretend that she did not see it.

The newspaper had been in her home for several days, and she hadn't touched it once.

Putting it together with things that may require her to read and select comments, even her husband will skip this part when reading. No newspaper of any repute.

Until later in the day, her eldest daughter sat with her in the living room reading.

This is a routine activity in their family. She usually conceives some comments or novel concepts, while the eldest daughter is reading a book, and the younger daughter is reading aloud. The older daughter will give her some guidance when encountering difficulties.

It's a great family activity that she and her family love.

"Mom, this review is really well written."

her eldest daughter said in surprise.

"We should go to the Seine River to play, let's take a boat, mother!" The eldest daughter's proposal was quickly approved by the younger daughter, and the two girls clamored to go out to play and swim in the lake together.

"What?" Joyce rubbed his eyebrows, feeling very dizzy.

Her train of thought is not smooth, and there is no such item in her plan. Things that go beyond the plan will make her feel derailed, and she doesn't like the feeling of losing control.

"let me see?"

The eldest daughter said some more and mentioned a few poems, which surprised her very much.

Joyce thought that it was impossible for her daughter to see such content, and she became more and more curious about what she was looking at from the table.

"Newspaper?" She took it, a little surprised.

"Mother, I haven't heard of this paper before, but I think you must read this one. I think the Lady's is worth writing about."

In addition, there are many people who read this newspaper through various means and for different reasons.

"Inscription?" Adele was a little surprised, "Are you sure?"

"certainly!!!"

Mr. Weihan wiped off his sweat. He just went to five or six different sales outlets, and after carefully understanding the situation himself, he finally made a decision and decided to ask Adele for instructions on this matter.

"Have a cup of tea, sir." Adele smiled.

"Perhaps you would like to tell me more about the matter."

"Our newspaper has received good reviews! Although it was not popular at the beginning and not many people saw it, but gradually, the few sales outlets we designated, and the ones that were sold freely by the newsboys, all became popular. There are varying degrees of requests for restocking information to come."

"Soon, all places added goods one after another. We originally prepared about [-] copies of the first issue of printing, and there are about [-] copies in stock, and the number of [-] copies sold outside is very fast. It was sold out, and the subsequent inventory of [-] yuan lasted for three or two days."

"Because it was originally based on the position of the newspaper."

When Mr. Weihan said this, there was a bit of condemnation in his eyes, and Adele smiled a little embarrassedly.

Selling according to the situation of newspapers is basically daily sales, but in fact, their magazines are monthly or semi-monthly, not the kind of magazines that are sold out every day and there will be no replenishment. ——There will be follow-up demand for them, and theoretically speaking, the sales time of the first issue will always exist until the next issue is released.

At the time of contact, because the first issue was calculated according to the four sides of the two sheets of newspaper, everyone including the point of sale basically handled and purchased according to the sales method of the newspaper.

But I never expected that this thing has an amazing word-of-mouth fermentation, just like a good newspaper, the current sales are exceptionally good, so there will be an explosion in demand after noon and afternoon, and it will be crazy to print in the afternoon .

Three to five days after the sale of this book, there was a situation where the point of sale asked the supplier for replenishment.After the fifth day, all the inventory has been completely exhausted. According to the contract, the printing factory made up the amount of [-] by itself. sold, but not enough.

Because it is a small and not well-known magazine that is privately handled, it is not even considered a magazine, and only a few people are in charge, so the printing factory is unwilling to provide all the [-] copies required. They preferred to leave the machines to other hotter papers.

Spending more money can solve this problem, and let the printing factory directly print the required number of copies, but Adele is unwilling to spend more money on this matter, and she is not sure about it, so she finally agrees to the one over there. Requirements, allowing them to print a certain number of follow-up every day, belong to printing while selling.

In this way, the printing pressure carried by the printing factory will not be too concentrated, and she can also stop the unprinted content at any time according to the follow-up situation, stop at the position of thousands of copies, and stop the loss in time.

But I didn't expect that even if I paid in advance for all the rest, it would not be enough. There were urgings from all sides of the sales point, and there were more and more discussion articles about it. It's about to be fried...

That's why Mr. Weihan came to negotiate and requested to print [-] copies. This amount is very large, even twice the original printing volume, so Adele's nod must be needed.

"In short, as long as you nod, I promise to bring you a net benefit of tens of thousands of francs!"

Mr. Weihan spoke very excitedly, his face was full of righteousness and self-satisfaction, he was full of energy and enthusiasm, and it seemed that his ambition could be displayed in the next second.

He didn't react until he saw the smiling face of his immediate boss, the young female boss——

This little money may be just a drop in the bucket for the rich princess, and his female boss is not short of money.
