[Congratulations to the host. On the first day of the shop's opening, the sales exceeded 15,000, and the task is complete. Reward: Makeup skill experience pack, system points +1888!]
In his mind, the sudden system reward made Qin Tian stunned for a while.
"System, what does this skill mean? Can I get a different one?"
Qin Tian, with a dark expression, immediately tried to negotiate with the system in a friendly manner.
He deeply suspected that the system had misunderstood something, or was deliberately giving him a skill he absolutely didn't need.
He had only cross-dressed once; he really didn't have such a preference!
However, the system coldly ignored his protest and responded with action, transmitting a large amount of makeup skill information into his mind.
Just as Qin Tian was about to protest, his mother's surprised voice came.
"Xiao Tian, how much did we sell?"
Tang Xiuxia looked at her son with disbelief.
She had been so busy that she didn't have time to pay attention to how many clothes they had sold.
"15,600, and the profit is around 10,000!"
Qin Tian replied with a serious expression.
Tang Xiuxia's eyes widened slightly, and she fell into silence.
"Hehe... Auntie, congratulations on your grand opening!"
Xia Nuannuan, standing beside Qin Tian, sent her congratulations with a sweet smile.
"Thank you!"
Tang Xiuxia nodded distractedly, still a bit dazed.
After all, when she worked in a garment factory, her monthly salary was only a little over three thousand yuan.
The money earned in one day was equivalent to three months' salary, which was truly beyond her imagination.
"Sister Xiu, you don't need to be too surprised. It's perfectly normal for business to be good."
Su Xia said with a gentle smile.
Tang Xiuxia turned her head to look at her and smiled sheepishly, "Younger sister, you're mocking me!"
Su Xia shook her head with a slight smile.
"We really have to thank everyone for their help today. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to manage it all by myself. It seems we need to hire two more sales assistants!"
Tang Xiuxia's eyes were bright, and a hint of excitement appeared on her face.
Having tasted the sweetness of opening a clothing store, she felt as if she had been injected with chicken blood. The fatigue from a whole day of work had vanished.
After the two mothers finished dinner, Su Xia took Xia Nuannuan and left.
Originally, they had offered to stay and help clean up, but Tang Xiuxia felt she had already troubled them enough and insisted on doing it herself, asking them to leave first.
After Qin Tian and his mother finished tidying up the shop, the mall was about to close.
"Son, did we really make ten thousand yuan today?"
As they walked out of the mall, Tang Xiuxia asked again to confirm.
Qin Tian couldn't help but glance at his mother and nodded, "It's true, truer than real gold!"
"Hehe... Ten thousand yuan. I didn't expect the clothing store to be so profitable."
Tang Xiuxia sighed with a bright smile.
"How much money we make is secondary. The main reason I wanted you to open this clothing store was so you could have an easier life in the future. You should hire two employees to help as soon as possible, don't tire yourself out trying to save costs. You need to learn how to be a boss!"
Qin Tian advised with a hearty smile.
"I know, I know. Do I need you to teach me?"
Tang Xiuxia glanced at him playfully and retorted.
Qin Tian gave a wry smile and looked at her with helpless eyes.
"Alright, alright!"
Tang Xiuxia reached out and put her arm around her son's shoulders, saying gently, "Mom knows. You are filial, and you're doing all this for me. I know."
"Mmm!"
"You brat, when did you grow so tall that your shoulders are almost out of my reach?"
"Can't help it, Mom, you have good genes."
Qin Tian smiled and lowered his center of gravity slightly.
"That's right!"
Tang Xiuxia smiled proudly, took her right hand off his shoulder, and instead linked her arm through his.
"Son!"
"Mmm?"
"After you go to university, you have to come back often. It's not that far anyway!"
"I know, don't worry. I chose to go to Jiang University so I could come back and be with you often."
"Hehe, I believe you, but isn't it also for Nuannuan?"
"Half and half!"
"Hmph, that's more like it. It wasn't in vain that I raised you all these years."
The bright moonlight mingled with the neon lights of the small city, illuminating the path home for the mother and son.
...
...
In the following days, Qin Tian went to the shop in the mall every day.
Besides helping, he also spent as much time as possible with his mother.
Although Jiang City wasn't far, once he went to university, no matter how often he visited, they would eventually be separated.
Xia Nuannuan also frequently helped at the shop, working diligently with the two professional sales assistants hired by Tang Xiuxia to create performance for the store.
In a leisurely yet fulfilling daily routine, the days passed.
Generally, admission notices from top Chinese universities were issued in mid-July, and students usually received them in late July.
Perhaps it was because Yancheng was relatively close to Jiangcheng, Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan received their admission notices from Jiang University on the afternoon of July 20th.
Qin Tian knew his admission was a certainty, so he naturally didn't have much of an emotional reaction when he received the admission notice.
Xia Nuannuan, on the other hand, was ecstatic and immediately called Qin Tian to tell him the news.
Not only had she been admitted to Jiang University, but her chosen major was also no problem – Economics, the same as Qin Tian.
After learning the news from the phone call, Qin Tian was also quite pleased.
At this point, the promise he made to Xia Nuannuan on the day he was reborn had been basically fulfilled.
The remaining task was to continue to complete university together in a relaxed and happy manner, and then from campus to marriage, growing old together.
After that, their class monitor Mu Nan, Su Yan, Tian Jiajia, Zhang Peng, and others also received their university admission notices one after another.
Everyone's situation and goals were different, but the results were all good for them.
Class monitor Mu Nan, just like in the previous life, was admitted to Shanghai University, which ranked higher than Jiang University.
Liao Juan had discussed with her and also went to a university in Shanghai. The two schools were not far apart, allowing them to continue to be best friends.
To everyone's surprise, Su Yan was also admitted to Jiang University.
Her college entrance examination score was somewhat awkward. Her first and second choices were risky ones, Tsinghua and Peking University, but unfortunately, she missed them by a very small margin.
Her third choice, Jiang University, was a more stable option, and she was naturally successfully admitted.
In her own words, since she couldn't go to Tsinghua or Peking University, she might as well go to the closer Jiang University.
This outcome was within Su Yan's own expectations, and she wasn't too disheartened.
In addition, Cui Ying and Qiu Man both went to the same university in Guangdong Province.
Tian Jiajia, Zhang Peng, and Xue Kai also stayed in Jiangcheng, attending different schools.
