Rebirth: The Comeback of the Girl-Chapter 14 - Change of Career to Selling Shoes

The next day after breakfast, Zhen Yu was dragged by her mother to their store.

It had been many years since Zhen Yu had been here, and now standing in the middle of the store and looking around at the mess, she couldn't help feeling somewhat despondent.

Is this what Mrs. Zhen called tidying up? It was far from what she had imagined!

"Let's renovate it." After saying this, Zhen Yu picked up a broom from the corner and started sweeping the floor.

"Ah? Renovate?" Mrs. Zhen repeated the word, not understanding.

"Why renovate?" Zhen Yan had also come along today, and seeing his sister sweeping, he started helping clear various discarded rubbish in the store.

Zhen Yu nonchalantly threw an old cardboard box with a brass lock painted on it out the door, looked up and replied, "To sell shoes! The storefront is very important!"

"Storefront?" Mrs. Zhen repeated, still not quite getting it, but after a while, she suddenly caught on.

"Do you mean that people who buy shoes not only look at the shoes but also the environment of the store?"

"When you go shopping, do you feel the urge to enter a store because it looks attractive?"

"Yes, definitely!" Mrs. Zhen clapped her hands and made up her mind, "Renovate!"

-

She then hesitantly asked, "How to renovate?"

"You find people. I'll paint the signage, and both the exterior and interior will be painted light pink, targeting a female demographic."

"Just like that?"

"The rest I'll discuss with the renovation contractor."

"Alright! The framework is already up, and the license has been issued. I've been in business for many years, this little task won't be difficult for me!"

It was Mrs. Zhen's first time starting a business, but she did not panic at all.

Because her daughter had ideas for everything, all she needed to do was follow them.

Her personality was like this, lacking any initiative of her own, yet she possessed good execution ability, a contradiction that left people speechless.

The three of them, with a mindset of having come all this way, spent the entire morning cleaning the store's rubbish thoroughly.

-

The next day, Mrs. Zhen hired people to start painting the walls and making the signage. Zhen Yu had a discussion with the renovation contractor to decorate the interior according to her requirements, the summer sun was scorching, and the paint on the walls would probably dry thoroughly in three days.

On the third day, they left Zhen Yan at home to watch the house, and Zhen Yu took Mrs. Zhen by car to the closest prefecture-level city, Qi City.

Mrs. Zhen had never expected that, although she had never taken her daughter far from home, her daughter seemed more familiar with the process of taking a bus than she was.

After a three-hour bus ride, they arrived at Beida Bridge Station in the city.

Zhen Yu paused at the roadside outside the station, looking at the buildings which were largely the same as in her previous life and couldn't help but smile.

The smile vanished as quickly as it had appeared, making Mrs. Zhen doubt her own eyes,

Because upon closer inspection, Zhen Yu still had that poker face.

-

"Where do we buy the stock?" Mrs. Zhen had only been to Qi City a couple of times for "tours" with Mr. Zhen when she was young and was unfamiliar with the place, so she clung tightly to her daughter's hand and asked.

"Take bus 101, go to Jiefang Gate!" Zhen Yu brought her mother to the bus stop sign to wait for the bus, and one soon arrived.

"Xiao Yu, how do you know this place? There are so many shoes here! We don't have these styles in our town!"

"Wow! This pair looks so good! Boss, how much for these shoes?"

After roughly an hour of browsing, Zhen Yu had locked down a few stores, then first dragged Mrs. Zhen to a small eatery outside the market for lunch.

"Mom! We need to catch the bus back at three in the afternoon! Have you decided what styles and how much stock to buy?"

"Ah?" Mrs. Zhen's eyes were glazed from all the options, unable to make any decision at the moment, only staring blankly at her daughter, unable to answer.

-

"..." Zhen Yu calmly watched her, as the inner critique started chattering again.

Seriously, who is the mother and who is the daughter here? Who is it?

You are here to buy goods! To buy goods! Not to go shopping! Not to!

You even bought a pair of shoes... Don't you know you are supposed to sell shoes?

Hold yourself tight! She is the very definition of poor little thing!

Suddenly, I have this bizarre intuition that I was reborn just to clean up the mess for my brother and mother...

What to do?

"Only buy leather shoes for autumn and winter! Men's and women's styles, each four parts, and two parts for older children. Give me the money later! Don't speak when bargaining!"

"Oh, oh! Okay! Here's the money!" Mrs. Zhen quickly agreed and handed the purse to Zhen Yu.

"How much did you bring? Give me a number."

"Um~ 8000."

"Cough~ Let's go eat!"

-

When the two sat on the bus returning home, watching their daughter sleeping, nestled against her shoulder with an innocent look, Mrs. Zhen still felt somewhat surreal.

Is this really my daughter who used to only play and be naughty following her brother? When did she become so-----mature? Worldly?

After placing the order, the boss praised her nonstop for her inherited skills, saying at her young age, not only was her bargaining precise, but she also considered everything clearly, including returns and deliveries.

Thinking back to the day Zhen Yan nearly drowned, Xiao Yu was even more calm and rational than her mother, not shedding a single tear!

And thinking about the day her dad confronted everyone, Xiao Yu started a fight the moment she stepped into the courtyard. I was stunned at the time! I didn't expect she would really throw someone out, especially with that kick...

She directly had Mr. Zhen talk about divorce, with so many adults in the courtyard, no one spoke up or objected, and the next day Zhen Halong really did show up...

It's not just her imagination.

Perhaps it's her always expressionless face that's misleading, making everyone subconsciously overlook her age...

Mrs. Zhen raised her hand to smooth Zhen Yu's hair, this is her daughter~~ She doesn't act cutesy anymore, it's as if she grew up overnight.

Without her, I probably would still be crying at home! At least I wouldn't have stood up from the setback so quickly...

-

By the time they got home, it was already dark, and the lights were on in the house.

As soon as the courtyard gate was pushed open, Zhen Yan came up to greet them.

"Mom! Little sister! Why did you come back so late?"

"Are you hungry? Mom is going to cook!"

Mrs. Zhen said, quickening her pace.

"Not hungry! Mom, don't rush, just worried about you."

Zhen Yan followed Mrs. Zhen's steps forward.

Her pace still did not slow down, but she smiled happily and said, "Haha, my son has grown up too! Learning to worry about mom."

After a few steps, Zhen Yan realized Zhen Yu had not caught up, and couldn't help but turn his head and call out, "Little sister?"

Zhen Yu let out a sigh, responding, "Coming."

After dinner, Zhen Yan stayed in the living room watching TV, while Zhen Yu returned to the small bedroom and sat down at the desk to pick up her first year of junior high school politics book.

She had only flipped through two pages when Mrs. Zhen came in.

She usually wouldn't enter the small bedroom, especially not when she knew the children were studying.

Zhen Yu looked up from her book, "What is it?"

Mrs. Zhen pulled over Zhen Yan's chair and sat down beside her daughter, hesitatingly asking, "Xiao Yu, I heard from your brother, you've been going to see Han Mingyue every day?"

"Um."

Yes, that's correct.
